Chapter 90 Chapter 90 The next day, Wen Ying again...
The next day, Wen Ying called Director Cao into the office again.
He was initially confident, thinking he could just come over if asked, just to show up for work. There were only a few days left, and even if Wen Ying had read a lot and possessed great abilities, if she wanted to resolve the matter in just three or four days, she would be truly incredible.
As soon as he entered the room, Wen Ying was still working at her desk. When she asked him to sit down first, he leaned forward on the sofa in the reception area with a very arrogant attitude.
Xia Li came in, carrying a cup and placing it on the coffee table in front of him. "Director Cao, tea."
You're in for a rough day, you bastard. Charlie glanced at him.
Director Cao felt something was a little strange. The secretary's attitude was a little strange today, and he couldn't explain it.
Wenying finished the last bit, and Director Cao was getting a little impatient waiting. She closed the pen cap and placed it on the table, then sat up straight and looked at Director Cao in the room.
"Lao Cao, I never thought you could do such a thing..."
Wen Ying's ability to become a factory manager is truly genuine, and she possesses considerable management skills and attitude. Whoever started this matter must end it.
Director Cao's neck was damp as he left the factory director's office. Even in this slightly chilly weather, he'd broken out in a cold sweat. He left without even glancing around, and hurried away.
"Xia Li, Wei Xin, the two of you pack up and come out with me in fifteen minutes."
Xia Li looked up and exchanged glances with Zhao Weixin. Regardless of the expressions of the other people in the office, the two quickly put down their work and began to prepare according to the factory director's instructions.
Wenying contacted the leaders of the water plant through her connections, and the leaders agreed to negotiate because of the connections Wenying had made.
Director Cao originally thought that no one knew about this matter, and that the people from the water plant would not come and complain to him in person.
Because of his momentary reckless words, he immediately angered the people at the water plant. He thought the matter would become a big deal and he would just get scolded and that would be the end of it. But he didn't expect the people at the water plant to be so patient and vindictive. Knowing that water for production and construction could not be delayed, they deliberately set up obstacles to water use in other places.
By the time the problem arose and someone finally reported it to him, and by the time he finally realized that the problem might be caused by him, a long time had passed.
Some things are just like this. When you first know about it, it may be one situation, but as time goes by, the fear and luck mentality of the instigator will become more and more serious.
Director Cao was like this. He felt that he had missed the best opportunity to report to the factory. Later, he did try to resolve the matter privately. He even asked where the man lived and privately went to his door with gifts, but he didn't meet him.
Director Cao was once again furious, deciding to throw in the towel. After all, it had been so long, nothing serious had happened, and the water supply to important places hadn't been delayed. As for the staff dormitories, it wasn't like they were running out of water. The water upstairs couldn't get up, and the row of faucets downstairs was a bit troublesome, but it was still usable, which was fine.
Besides, logistics is under his management. Whatever he says goes, and he has the final say on whether there are any problems or not. Who has the time and ability to get to the bottom of it?
All I can say is that he underestimated Director Wen's attitude and ability to solve problems for employees, and he also underestimated a woman's ability.
The negotiations with the water plant had some twists and turns, but ultimately went smoothly.
Wen Ying's attitude was sincere, gentle, and courteous. While this incident stemmed from Director Cao's impulsiveness, was the water plant's actions entirely correct? Unauthorizedly obstructing a manufacturing company's water supply was ultimately untenable. If the incident became public, they would be humiliated.
Director Cao was also forced to apologize, and Wen Ying, on behalf of the factory, decided to donate two air conditioners to the water plant as an apology, and also promised to provide three workers for the water plant.
Especially the last three spots really caught the attention of the waterworks leaders. They had relatives with children of the right age, and this was a promising future.
The leader of the water plant also apologized for the water shortage at the Wanle Electric Appliance Factory caused by his employees' careless mistakes. He promised to restore normal water supply as soon as possible and guaranteed to conduct regular inspections to ensure the water supply of the electric appliance factory.
The matter was ultimately resolved perfectly. From the time Wenying learned the truth, to her connections, and then to her personal visit to the water plant the next day to negotiate, it took less than two days.
Xia Li felt like she had witnessed the birth of a strong woman. Not to mention him, even Director Cao, who had a prejudice against Wen Ying, had a big change in his attitude towards Wen Ying after seeing her gentle, firm and extremely effective communication today. At this moment, he was unconsciously looking at Wen Ying from time to time.
Zhao Weixin was driving and Xia Li saw this scene from the rearview mirror. They both looked at each other and smiled silently.
To the factory workers living in the dormitories, Wen Ying was a hero. In the past, leaders were aloof, sitting at the podium, giving speeches and issuing orders. They never approached the employees below them. When the cafeteria's food was lacking variety, the leaders approved a small canteen and didn't allow ordinary employees to order food. When the dormitories ran out of water, they figured there was water downstairs, so they just passed the buck.
Wen Ying is a good factory director who has done a great thing for them, a great thing that truly concerns their vital interests.
The moment the water finally came online, it felt like the entire building erupted in cheers. Wen Ying and Xia Li, standing downstairs, heard the cheers from inside and simultaneously smiled with satisfaction. In that moment, it felt like everything was worth it.
In the dormitory, someone watched as a faucet was turned on, and a stream of yellow water flowed out. It started as a small, thin stream, then, under the pressure, slowly expanded and gushed out. The man washed his hands awkwardly, then heard the cheers and excitement coming from the corridor. He cursed, "It's just a broken water, why is it so serious!" He shook his hands and prepared to sit on his bed. "Women are no match for leaders. They only see through such trivial matters."
Zhou Qiang was passing by and happened to hear these words. Without saying a word, he walked straight into the room and punched the person who said these words.
The man screamed, then fell to the bed, rubbing his face, which was hurt from the beating, as if he didn't know why he was hit. Zhou Qiang knew him, and he couldn't afford to offend this man, nor did he dare to fight back. He could only cover his face and slowly sit up.
After Zhou Qiang threw a punch, he shook his fist and said fiercely: "I don't know what is big or small. In my opinion, letting me use convenient water is a big deal. If you dare to let me hear you say that again, I will beat you again."
After saying that, he went out, leaving the people who were beaten in the dormitory and the other onlookers looking at each other in confusion.
Jiang Dong, carrying a bag, stood for a long time on the street next to the bus stop where Xia Li got off. Perhaps because of his tall stature, or perhaps because of the strong smell of the sausage in his hand, many people would glance at him when they passed by.
Sometimes, it's not just people, but also people who are out walking their dogs, who have to watch their puppies jump on their legs, run quickly towards a man, and then circle around him. The scene is really funny.
Jiang Dong also felt that he couldn't be made of jokes, so he prepared to walk forward a little closer to the entrance of the alley where Xia Li's house was, so that Xia Li wouldn't be unable to find him.
He had followed Xia Li's instructions and bought the sausages they had bought earlier and had them delivered to her. Although Jiang Dong didn't hear Xia Li's voice, he could imagine how she spoke through the messages she sent to his BP machine. She must have been a domineering little bully. However, Jiang Dong felt that he was Xia Li's man, so he was happy with this attitude.
Xia Li said that her son liked this when she bought it last time. Later, Jiang Zi asked her to bring it back, but she was too busy recently and either forgot or didn't have time. Then she remembered that Jiang Dong knew the address, so she asked him to buy it and send it over.
If Xia Li knew how much was going on in Jiang Dong's mind, she would be speechless. Due to the limitations of her pager, her messages were always brief and concise, so there was no way she could have so many words.
Jiang Dong was just looking for a stone bench to sit and wait when he glanced around. He spotted the large banyan tree where Grandma Zhong often gathered. No one was milling around under the tree, and there was a place to rest. It was still early days for the business, so there wasn't much time to spare. He was thinking about hiring a few more experienced drivers. Otherwise, if they were to go it alone, not only would they be too busy, but their small-scale operations wouldn't be enough to make a big difference. He also had to explore other markets in other cities. It wasn't a good idea to just sit there with so many dishes, unable to reach them with chopsticks. He had to discuss this with Wang Changlin.
Jiang Dong sat on the stone bench in a relaxed posture, the bag in his hand still hanging on his finger.
Although he was thinking about something in his mind, his eyes were unconsciously fixed on the road he came from, looking for the familiar figure.
Coincidentally, this scene was seen by Grandma Zhong who came out to take out the garbage. Although she was old, her eyesight was not blurry and her memory was good. She immediately recognized that this was the man she had met some time ago. Her heart skipped a beat and she thought: I am really dazzled by this handsome face. I keep meeting this person again and again, and he keeps looking in the same place from time to time. What is he looking at?
It was because she was so vigilant that she would come out and look around whenever she had nothing to do that she was able to discover the situation.
Knowing that the old couple, Lao Mei, usually stayed at home, there must be someone at home. Grandma Zhong put the trash can against the wall and hurried over to knock on the door.
"Lao Mei, are you two at home?" Grandma Zhong knocked on the door twice and shouted.
Soon there was a response from inside, and then the door opened from the inside.
Grandma Zhong was delighted and quickly explained what was going on. The old Mei couple, retired and free, were usually very enthusiastic about participating in the neighborhood's enthusiastic activities. When they heard what Grandma Zhong said, they agreed without hesitation.
"Sister Zhong, wait a minute, I'll go get my things and then I'll go with you."
Grandma Zhong quickly stopped him. She had no intention of picking a fight with him. She just wanted to ask him a question because they had more people to help them. She would just say a few words and leave him alone if there was no problem. If he was really a thief, these old men would really be ready to go into battle and catch him!
What if you don't even touch the thief's clothes and end up hurting yourself? That would be a real waste.
