Chapter 132 Why did Assistant He, who spent a fortune to buy a horse's bones, find me so attractive? ...
"Director Qin, you need to think this through! How can you put her in such an important position! She's a spy! She's here to cause trouble!" Assistant He said excitedly.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "We're not afraid of being found fault with. Because we're full of weaknesses."
"Keep her under your nose so that nothing goes wrong." Only by entrusting her with key tasks can you successfully pass the buck.
As the saying goes: Do less, make fewer mistakes; do more, make more mistakes; do nothing, make no mistakes.
Qin Xiangxiang is well aware of the principle of passing the buck.
Assistant He took a few deep breaths, trying to suppress the agitation in his body. Suddenly, he exclaimed, "I understand, Director Qin, you're spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones!"
"But does she deserve it? Is she worth it? Is a spy really worth our honesty?"
Qin Xiangxiang: "??????"
"Don't call them spies. Once they come to our factory, they're considered employees of Feiyan Textile Factory." They're also the best scapegoats.
Assistant He nodded: "I understand."
Assistant He has been studying hard lately, reading Water Margin and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, especially Romance of the Three Kingdoms to learn about governance. But he feels that no matter how hard he studies, he can't compare to Director Qin in front of him.
He wasn't as magnanimous as Director Qin; he wouldn't do something as extravagant as spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones.
Three visits to the thatched cottage, humility and open-mindedness...spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones.
"Director Qin, if you lived in ancient times, you would have the talent of an emperor!"
"He has a broad mind, strategic thinking, and knows how to use people!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "?!"
Qin Xiangxiang suddenly felt like reciting "Zou Ji Advises King Qi to Accept Criticism": "Why does Assistant He praise me?"
Does one automatically receive all sorts of praise and flattery once they reach a certain position?
"Alright, let's follow the example of spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones. If this little scoundrel doesn't know what's good for him, then he deserves it!"
Assistant He suddenly became arrogant, thinking that this spy was lucky to have met their Factory Director Qin.
Qin Xiangxiang: "..."
Whether she is the Prince of Qi is another matter, but Assistant He's tone is becoming more and more like Su Peisheng's.
Qin Xiangxiang wasn't afraid of Guo Youcai's niece causing trouble, but this "spy incident" also served as a reminder to her. These textile trainees weren't necessarily that bad, but she was worried that some of them might become ruthless. The factory's production safety had to be constantly monitored.
The security department, in particular, must patrol at all times to ensure the safety of the factory.
Qin Xiangxiang found the representative and asked him to guide everyone in the factory to do a good job in fire prevention and theft prevention publicity.
"Representative Jie, I plan to conduct a safety inspection and a fire safety and escape drill for the entire factory."
"Representative Jie, fire prevention is absolutely not something to be taken lightly. We must practice fire escape drills. There can be no major accidents in the factory, and even less casualties." As the factory director, Qin Xiangxiang is responsible for the safety of the factory. At the same time, she also cares about herself and can distinguish between priorities.
She always believed that people were more important than property. Even if a fire broke out, things would burn, but the factory workers could not be harmed, and everyone should be aware of fire prevention and escape.
Representative Xie nodded: "Director Qin, you're right. These things should be prevented before they happen."
"We need to conduct safety inspections regularly and carry out fire prevention and fire drills."
Representative Xie was deeply moved and impressed by Qin Xiangxiang's words. He felt that Qin Xiangxiang was not greedy for credit, paid attention to details, and truly cared about the lives and property of the people. He was a good factory director for the people.
Just as Qin Xiangxiang and the representative were discussing conducting a comprehensive safety inspection and fire drill, Assistant He arrogantly called Yang Zhixia over.
Yang Zhixia was called out in front of everyone, and when she heard that it was Li Lianying, who was by the side of Empress Dowager Cixi, she thought to herself, "Oh no, could it be that Li Lianying has discovered her relationship with her uncle Guo Youcai as soon as she arrived?"
How is she going to get away with this?
Yang Zhixia felt like an underground party member about to be arrested by secret agents.
"Your name is Yang Zhixia, right? Our Factory Director Qin needs to talk to you. Don't worry, it's good news." Assistant He looked down at Yang Zhixia, thinking to himself, "Little spy, you've struck gold."
Yang Zhixia sensed something was off about Assistant He's words and cursed him inwardly as a lackey of Li Lianying.
She followed Assistant He to the office to wait for Qin Xiangxiang.
"Your name is Yang Zhixia?" Qin Xiangxiang sized up Yang Zhixia for a while, judging from her facial features and eyebrows, she guessed that she was a strong-willed girl who wouldn't do anything despicable, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
This kind of simple-minded, honest guy with Zhang Fei's personality is the perfect scapegoat.
"I am Yang Zhixia, Director Qin. What can I do for you?" Yang Zhixia tried to straighten her back, not wanting to be looked down upon.
"I heard you have excellent grades in school. That's perfect. The factory has an important task for you to handle, and we hope you can take on this important responsibility."
Yang Zhixia was stunned: "Huh?!"
Qin Xiangxiang: "Our factory will soon participate in the Autumn Canton Fair at the end of October. The Canton Fair is divided into spring and autumn seasons every year. The Autumn Canton Fair is held in October and lasts for three weeks, while textiles are held in the last week, which is from the end of October to the beginning of November."
"This is the first time our factory has been invited by a textile import and export trading company to participate in the Canton Fair. It's a very important event, do you understand?"
Yang Zhixia: "The Canton Fair? I know it, the Import and Export Fair... My factory is going to participate too?"
“Yes, you are a talented person from the textile school, and you are more educated than others. Our factory needs you.” Qin Xiangxiang patted her shoulder. “At this Canton Fair, our factory has a booth, and we need you to take responsibility and become the person in charge of the booth. This is a big task.”
Yang Zhixia was dumbfounded: "?" She clearly came to investigate the conspiracy of Feiyan Textile Factory, but she became the person in charge of the factory's Canton Fair booth?
Do you speak English?
Yang Zhixia replied blankly, "I learned a little bit at school."
"Okay, you need to learn more spoken English by listening to the radio. As the person in charge of the booth, you will be a guide for foreigners and you will need to communicate with them."
Assistant He, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Yes, yes, you need to promote our factory's culture and spirit to the outside world!"
Yang Zhixia: "???!!"
She swallowed hard, saying incredulously, "Such a big task has been entrusted to me?"
Attending the Canton Fair and having the opportunity to interact with foreigners... How could such an opportunity fall to her? It's unbelievable.
She's just a recent graduate, and she thought she'd have to work in the factory for a few years. The Canton Fair? That's like a fairy tale. How could a textile factory on a remote island participate in the Canton Fair?
"Yes, Comrade Yang, I hope you can take this seriously and shoulder the responsibility."
Yang Zhixia blushed: "Thank you for your trust, factory manager. I will definitely do my best to complete the task."
"Okay, then you need to find a way to familiarize yourself with the factory culture and products, and also learn a foreign language." Qin Xiangxiang said these high-sounding words. She had previously thought that she needed to learn a foreign language well so that she wouldn't be deceived, but in fact, there was no need to rely on herself for everything. She needed to learn to take advantage of others.
When Yang Zhixia left the office, her legs were still weak and she felt lightheaded, as if she were floating on clouds.
"The Canton Fair, it really is the Canton Fair! I'm given such a great opportunity to attend the Canton Fair."
"I must do well..."
"This is my chance. How many times in a lifetime can you get a chance like this?"
After returning home, Yang Zhixia began studying day and night, learning foreign languages and researching the various products of Feiyan Textile Factory, as well as its history—how it was established, the difficulties encountered, and how it overcame all obstacles to reach its current state…
She learned about the events surrounding the factory's construction, how the factory lacked skilled workers, how Director Qin personally led everyone in debugging the machines, and how he managed to borrow talent from various factories... The textiles were of such high quality that they aroused suspicion, and what happened when they encountered the investigation team... All the employees worked together to win first place in the arts competition and formed a film projection team...
The more she learned, the more moved she became. There was also the "Salted Fish T-shirt" from Feiyan Textile Factory, which turned out to be an artwork produced by the master of traditional Chinese painting, Mr. Huang, and behind it was such a beautiful and touching story.
...
This was Yang Zhixia's day off. She went to a street in the county town and used a public phone to call her uncle, Guo Youcai. It was inconvenient for her to make the call from the factory. She was also afraid that Factory Director Qin and Assistant He would find out that she was Guo Youcai's niece.
Guo Youcai on the other end of the phone said, "Xiaxia, are you stupid?! I really don't know what to say to you. You don't need to ruin your future because of this!"
Although he expressed his regret for his niece Yang Zhixia, Guo Youcai had a smile on his face. He also hoped that Yang Zhixia could find fault with Feiyan Textile Factory.
“Uncle, this is my own choice, and I am willing to do it.” Facing her uncle, Yang Zhixia felt heavy-hearted. While thinking about the trust and guidance that Director Qin had given her, she also thought about her uncle’s shortcomings.
For example, they only know how to shout slogans and mobilize people, and they always have a lot of theories, but they know nothing about actual operation...
Compared to Director Qin, he's like heaven and earth.
Even knowing this, Yang Zhixia still felt a pang of betrayal when facing her uncle.
At this moment, her pain was like that of someone who had gone from being a member of the Kuomintang to becoming an underground party member. Although she had to apologize to her uncle, this was the light she was looking for.
