Chapter 8 Chapter 8 A villain with a lot of tricks~…
Jiang Ling said very modestly, "Thank you, Chief Wei, for your compliment. I don't have that ability. When I was in school, my teacher always said that I was dull and couldn't compare to the classmates who went out to make revolution. I knew at that time that I was just an ordinary person."
Don't talk nonsense. Decades ago, Jiang Ling was still in school and she didn't go out to make trouble.
The smile on Wei Ming's face froze. He really liked to put accusations on people, no matter if they were opponents or relatives. The first step to control the other party was to give him something to hold against them.
He had always been successful in his trick of putting labels on people, but he didn't expect to fail this time.
In his mind, Jiang Ling was just a pretty face. He didn't think she had become smarter, he just thought she had stumbled upon it by accident.
He felt ashamed after being humiliated several times in a row.
Although he was only the deputy chief of the Finance Department, he always regarded himself as the next chief of the Finance Department.
Workers who were lower in status than him always flattered him, and he almost forgot the feeling of being "offended".
Lu Jianjun was very perceptive and helped Wei Ming suppress Jiang Ling. "Xiao Jiang, the most important thing for young people is to be modest and prudent. You are young and don't know that when our Section Chief Wei was young, he was a famous fortune teller in our North City. He was a young talent. It was also because the daily chemical factory was lucky that they snatched Section Chief Wei from many units to work in the factory."
Wei Ming is the factory director's brother-in-law, and relying on this relationship alone, he can flatter him as much as he can.
I have to say, even though Lu Jianjun is approaching retirement age, his ability to flatter is still very good.
No wonder all the treacherous ministers and evil eunuchs in ancient times were men. Men are indeed more talented in flattering.
"Let Section Chief Wei give you more guidance. It will only benefit you. You should be grateful that Section Chief Wei is willing to teach you, instead of being stubborn and resisting."
When Wei Ming was young, he was not as eccentric as Lu Jianjun boasted. He was just an ordinary person with some talents. In order to take a shortcut, he married the divorced sister of the factory director.
After he became a small leader, he often heard various boasts about himself. Over time, he really thought that person was him and was very proud of himself.
Wei Ming laughed happily, "Ignorance is not a crime. These kids always think they have an age advantage and are better than us old hands. But in fact, they still have a lot to learn!"
Jiang Ling realized that she would not be able to leave the Finance Office before dinner, so she simply put the enamel cup on the table.
She was willing to learn professional knowledge, but didn't want Wei Ming to take advantage of her in the name of teaching.
Once or twice it might be a coincidence, but if it happens too many times it is intentional.
Jiang Ling raised the corners of her lips slightly. "Although I am a newcomer, I have been in the Finance Department for more than two years. During these two years, I have diligently studied accounting knowledge and applied what I have learned to my work. I think I have absorbed all the knowledge that my predecessors have taught me. Could it be that Section Chief Wei has some secrets that he has not passed on to me?"
Jiang Ling's tone was humble, but full of hostility. Wei Ming threw the account book on the table in anger, "I don't believe you have recorded all the accounts in this morning. You must have written this nonsense."
Jiang Ling was a serious person, and she came to this unfamiliar environment. She was not familiar with other staff members in the department, could not chat with others, and had no skills at hand.
Lu Jianjun assigned her a job, and she had no choice but to do it.
Working hard turned out to be her fault.
"Yes or no, you will know once you check it out."
Jiang Ling pushed the tickets and account books over together.
Wei Ming naturally didn't believe that Jiang Ling had kept the accounts seriously. It would take Lu Jianjun at least three days to complete the registration of these tickets.
Jiang Ling only took half a day, how is this possible?
Wei Ming is a leader, and it's a bit cheap for him to check on his subordinates' work.
Lu Jianjun said sensibly, "I'll do it, I'll do it."
He was ready to expose Jiang Ling.
There was an abacus on the corner of the table, but Jiang Ling had never used it once when she was doing the accounts in the morning.
Lu Jianjun saw Jiang Ling writing and drawing with paper and pen and thought she was just slacking off.
He often does this. As long as the work assigned to him by the leader is not finished, he will always do it.
On the contrary, if he always does things quickly and well, his leader will not appreciate him for it, but will only give all the work to him because of his outstanding ability.
He creates an atmosphere of seeming busyness, but no actual work is happening.
Over time, the leader felt that he had a heavy workload and needed someone to cooperate with him.
This is also why the daily chemical factory, although not large in scale, has two accountants. Jiang Ling was recruited into the factory to solve the problem of too much workload. Lu Jianjun could not complete the work assigned by his superiors on time by himself.
Jiang Ling hasn't had time to review it yet, but she has confidence in herself.
Inspection takes much less time than registration.
Jiang Ling glanced at the time when it was almost time for dinner and urged, "It's almost time for lunch. Please hurry up a bit so as not to delay everyone's meal."
The other staff members of the Finance Department continued with their work, pretending that they were busy and not watching the fun, but in fact their ears were almost pricked up.
After Lu Jianjun finished the examination, he wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said, "You're lucky. You guessed it right."
Jiang Ling laughed out of anger. He was really stubborn and refused to admit that she relied on his strength.
Wei Ming was very surprised by this result, because he was the one who had just confidently claimed that Jiang Ling was slacking off at work. Lu Jianjun found nothing wrong during the inspection, and although he made the excuse that Jiang Ling was lucky, any discerning person could see that it was not luck that affected her.
Wei Ming felt somewhat resentful towards Lu Jianjun, blaming him for working too slowly in the past.
He was the one who started the trouble, but he said in a good-natured tone, "Alright, alright, it doesn't matter if you guessed the number right or not, as long as the final result is correct, it's time to eat. Let's go to the cafeteria and eat. Comrades, don't let this little thing delay your meal."
Just like that, a few words wiped out the grievances that Jiang Ling had suffered.
Eating was more important to Jiang Ling, so she was too lazy to argue with Wei Ming anymore.
The daily chemical factory is not large in scale, but has good profits. The soaps and laundry detergents it produces are sold all over the country.
Due to the good profits, a bit of oily smell can be smelled in the canteen of the daily chemical factory at every meal.
Jiang Ling didn't like eating meat before, she preferred eating vegetables and fruits.
Maybe it was because this body lacked oil and water, she even dreamed of eating meat. The canteen provides limited meat dishes on a first-come, first-served basis.
In front of the meat, Wei Ming was insignificant.
Jiang Ling arrived at the cafeteria early and grabbed some meat dishes. She finished the meal in happiness and pain.
She took a nap on the table in the morning. When she had nothing to do in the afternoon, she took out a book from the table pocket. The story was a bit boring, but it helped her pass the time.
It is a manuscript that was circulated in previous years and was once banned, but because of different circumstances, it was even able to be published and distributed.
As she was watching, Lu Jianjun suddenly threw a large stack of tickets onto her desk.
"This is last year's account. Please check if there are any mistakes."
Jiang Ling frowned slightly, "Didn't we just check it once at the end of last year? Why do we need to check it again?"
Lu Jianjun has no hair on his head, so he wears a woolen hat when he goes out to prevent his scalp from getting cold. He did not take it off during his nap.
There is a lot of static electricity in winter. As soon as I took off my hat, the few remaining hairs stood up trembling under the effect of static electricity.
"Just do it if you're asked to do it. Why ask so many questions? The Finance Department is a good place. Many young people in the factory want to join our department. If you can't do it, you'd better step down as soon as possible."
Jiang Ling understood. They saw that she was idle, so they deliberately found something for her to do.
"I would like to ask, I am a regular worker in the factory, I have never made any mistakes at work, you want to fire me, what is my status?"
What Jiang Ling meant was that they were all ordinary workers, so why were they pretending to be so high and mighty? They should step down as soon as possible and let others take over.
Even the factory director can't lay off workers at will, let alone you?
Since the farce in the morning, the radio that Wei Ming brought from home has not been turned on.
The news in their department is much more exciting than what is broadcast on the radio.
I don’t know what evil has possessed this girl Jiang Ling, she has suddenly become extremely powerful.
He punched Lu Jianjun, who was about to retire and was taking advantage of his seniority, and kicked Wei Ming, the deputy section chief and a relative of the factory director.
Lu Jianjun couldn't talk as well as Jiang Ling, so he thought of asking his leader for help.
"Chief Tang, you have to take care of Xiao Jiang. She is too disrespectful. I am her senior after all, but she has no respect for me at all."
As a relative of the factory leader, Wei Ming is very busy every day. He either accompanies the factory leaders for meals or attends meetings with cadres from other factories. He does not spend much time in the Finance Department every day.
As expected, he was not in the Finance Department in the afternoon. Jiang Ling overheard Wei Ming bragging before dinner and it seemed that he was having dinner with the factory director's brother-in-law and government leaders.
Lu Jianjun is Wei Ming's loyal lackey. Ever since Wei Ming joined the Finance Department, he no longer cares about anyone else but Wei Ming.
He had long since stopped taking Section Chief Tang and Li Chunjiao seriously. If Wei Ming had not been away today and he had been anxious to find someone to back him up, he might not have remembered that there was a Section Chief Tang.
"If you don't respect me today, I'll be disrespectful to you tomorrow."
As a leader, even though Section Chief Tang was no longer in the Finance Department, he was still afraid that the situation Lu Jianjun had assumed would occur.
What's more, Lu Jianjun is an old man in the department and has more seniority in the factory than him.
Even though he knew that it was Lu Jianjun who caused the trouble, Section Chief Tang still said, "Jiang Ling, our Finance Department deals with money, and we can't make the slightest mistake. It's a good thing to check twice more, just to be more secure. You are a young man, don't be afraid to work, check it again."
Section Chief Tang had just signed the dormitory application form for Jiang Ling yesterday. Jiang Ling owed him a favor, so she could only smile and say yes.
After having disagreements with Wei Ming and Lu Jianjun, Jiang Ling seemed to be in a state of giving up hope.
Since it is a verification work, there is no need to rush to do it.
In the entire afternoon, Jiang Ling only checked one invoice.
After get off work, Jiang Ling had dinner in the cafeteria.
Every meal is served in the canteen, but more workers eat in the canteen at noon. In order to save money, most workers eat at home in the morning and evening.
There are few workers who eat in the cafeteria at night, so in order to save trouble, they usually heat up the leftover food from lunch before selling it.
There is no meat at all, and it has to go through secondary processing. The taste can only be described as disgusting.
After dinner, Jiang Ling returned alone to the dormitory where she had stayed the night before.
The female workers in the dormitory were originally chattering, but after she came in, they fell into deathly silence.
The content of their chat wasn't particularly private, but it felt a little strange when an outsider suddenly came in.
Jiang Ling thought that they might be roommates in the future, so she wanted to build a good relationship.
After sharing candies with them and using snacks to break the ice, the girls were not so resistant to her anymore.
They shared gossip about their respective departments and chatted for a while until it was lights-out time.
There are many female workers in the daily chemical factory, and the girls living in the dormitories are in the same situation: the houses are too small to accommodate them, and their families are reluctant to let their boys live out. Anyway, the girls will marry into their husband's family in the future, so they live in the workers' dormitories for two years first, and after they get married, they don't have to live in the dormitories anymore.
The girls in the dormitory asked Jiang Ling why she lived in the dormitory. Finding that their situations were similar, they felt a little closer.
I got along well with the girl I shared the dormitory with on the first night, and everyone knew that she had submitted her accommodation application to the logistics department.
They expressed their expectation that Jiang Ling and everyone could become formal roommates in the future.
There were less than eight people living in the dormitory, so friends and relatives from the daily chemical factory came to stay there. All the people coming and going were strangers, which was extremely inconvenient for them.
It's clearly a dormitory, but it's run like a hotel.
They all really hope that the dormitory can be filled with eight people as soon as possible. During the brief time they spent with Jiang Ling, they felt that she was a good person, so they chose her.
Jiang Ling hadn't waited until the logistics department approved her accommodation application, so she asked during work, "Chief Tang, how many days will it take for the dormitory I applied for to be approved?"
Section Chief Tang rarely came to work hungover. He sipped the tea in the enamel pot and said, "Three days at the earliest, and a week at the slowest."
He added, as if complaining, "The logistics department is full of people with connections, so the efficiency is low. If you are in a hurry, you have to go to the logistics department to urge them."
Jiang Ling thought for a moment and responded, "Okay, I'll go to the logistics department when I have time."
Wei Ming was reading a newspaper. When he heard the conversation, he put down the newspaper and asked, "I remember Xiao Jiang is a factory employee. How did you think of moving into the factory dormitory?"
Jiang Ling cursed him for being a gossip in her heart. Seeing that he was curious about such things, she pretended to be very busy and said, "My brother is getting married, and the house is too small to accommodate him. Anyway, I am old enough to get married, so I might as well live in the dormitory."
Jiang Ling has no plans to tell her colleagues that she is married, although this might make Wei Ming give up his shameful thoughts.
But if everyone knew that she and Song Guanshu had already obtained their marriage certificate, then she would have to move in with Song Guanshu.
Song Guanshu was more discerning than a sieve. He discovered that she was afraid of him just through a normal chat. What would happen if they lived together?
