As a result, when it was time to go back to work in the afternoon, Chen Ruixue was still in the office and hadn't left.
Xiao Wu dawdled until the work bell rang, but found the office empty and Chen Ruixue nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Wu immediately felt resentful. She thought of Chen Ruixue, who was still in the factory manager's office.
Xiao Wu shoveled the chicken droppings with resentment, feeling increasingly unbalanced with each shovel.
Chen Ruixue waited until the work bell rang, but the phone still hadn't come.
I hesitated for a moment.
"Factory manager, should I start work now?"
"If she calls later, you can call me over."
Chen Ruixue figured she couldn't miss work, since these days work is directly linked to salary.
If she doesn't go to work in the afternoon, Xiao Wu will probably immediately go to the team leader to complain and have herself marked absent without leave.
Not only will my bonus be deducted, but I'll also have to pay my own share.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xuemei waved her hand.
"No, no need."
This afternoon, you'll be in the office specifically responsible for cutting out articles for our bulletin board.
How could Liu Xuemei possibly let him go at this moment?
Even though the other party only made a phone call, what if it works out? My child's life is in their hands.
Although she came up with a terrible excuse, she was the factory manager, and it was up to Liu Xuemei to decide who did what work.
These days, the position of factory director still carries a lot of authority; it's basically a one-man show.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruixue sat down steadily at her desk, then brought over a stack of newspapers and began to read them carefully, searching for topics that could be used for publicity.
Even if it was just for show, she knew it was an excuse the factory manager was making up.
They had agreed on an hour, but an hour later, Vice President Liu hadn't called, and Chen Ruixue didn't know what had happened.
I didn't dare to call back rashly, since Vice President Liu said he would call back.
After waiting for another half hour, the phone still hadn't rung, but Xiao Wu called out "Report!" from the office doorway.
"Report!"
Liu Xuemei was so anxious that she was pacing around the room.
Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, he turned his head and asked with a fierce look.
"What's up?"
Xiao Wu was startled, mainly because Liu Xuemei's expression was truly frightening when she got angry.
More importantly, his voice rose at least eight octaves.
"Director Liu... I'm here to call Xiao Chen back to work."
She's already an hour and a half late, and I've already finished shoveling the chicken manure over there.
However, there were no staff members to help dispose of the chicken manure; that was Chen Ruixue's job.
She has seriously affected my work progress.
This is a blatant complaint.
Xiao Wu glanced smugly at Chen Ruixue, thinking, "Don't think you can slack off just because you're sitting here. This is a perfectly legitimate excuse for me."
"Chen Ruixue wasn't absent from work. Alright, you're responsible for shoveling chicken manure today too."
Liu Xuemei's words shattered Xiao Wu's smugness, and Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise.
Why is the factory manager making me do all the work by myself?
I was shoveling and dumping chicken manure. That wasn't even my job. She's sitting in the office enjoying herself, why should she?
Liu Xuemei glared at her.
"Why should I?"
Just because she's an educated person, our chicken farm is about to welcome district leaders to inspect the blackboard bulletin board, and the publicity department needs people to do all the work.
Are you cultured? Are you more cultured than her?
She's a college graduate, aren't you?
One sentence completely shut Xiao Wu down; she only had a primary school education.
"But Chen Ruixue can't be the factory manager. She... she has problems."
Her background is questionable. If she were to do publicity work, and if she harbored malicious intentions and smuggled in personal agendas, it could easily cause unrest among the people.
"Factory manager, I'm doing this for everyone's sake, for the sake of our chicken farm. You can't entrust such an important task to her."
Xiao Wu was full of confidence, and Chen Ruixue's background and identity were enough to give him confidence.
This is their fatal flaw, just like Xiao Wu himself. As soon as their files are revealed, they immediately become the kind of people who are discriminated against and looked down upon by everyone.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Can't I do them myself?"
She harbors malicious intentions; do you expect me to be just a decoration?
The final work will all go through me; I'm just asking her to help out first.
"Alright, go back to work. You've already done all the work you needed to do in that time."
Xiao Wu was driven away in frustration because Liu Xue didn't hear the phone ring.
He went straight up and slammed the door shut.
With red eyes, Xiao Wu returned to the chicken coop.
Enraged, he pounded on the cage, startling the chickens inside who squawked loudly.
Chen Ruixue must have spoken ill of me to the factory manager, otherwise why would the factory manager's attitude towards me have changed so drastically?
At that moment, Chen Ruixue picked up the phone, and Liu Xuemei stared intently at her.
Listen closely; the microphone is leaking sound badly right now.
Basically, it's no different from hands-free amplification.
"How is Vice Dean Liu? Any news?"
"Madam, don't worry, I just checked the inventory in the warehouse. This medicine is in short supply."
However, we currently have two boxes in stock. If you need them urgently, I can get them for you first.
Furthermore, the Hong Kong businessmen my teacher asked me to contact will deliver the supplies on our medicine list in about a month.
"Thank you so much. If you can spare some, please send some to me first."
Chen Ruixue said gratefully, and Vice Dean Liu smiled.
"Teacher's wife, what are you saying?"
I failed to take good care of you and protect you. I am so sorry, teacher.
"If I fail to do something for you, how can I be considered human? I wouldn't even deserve to be your student."
"Please wait here. I'll send someone over to deliver the medicine to you in a bit. It will probably take seven or eight hours."
"Okay, okay, then do you think we could send a doctor who knows how to give injections?"
Chen Ruixue considered that this medicine definitely needed to be administered by an experienced doctor or nurse, and they certainly didn't know how.
Liu Xuemei hurriedly said,
"No need, no need, we have a medic from the sanitation team here."
Vice Dean Liu heard the voice and knew that Chen Ruixue was definitely saying it with a smile to help someone else.
"Okay, then I'll send someone who knows about injections over to give some guidance. This medicine has some side effects after injection, so we should be careful."
When she hung up the phone, Liu Xuemei cried, sitting there with tears streaming down her face.
Chen Ruixue stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder.
"Director Liu, please don't cry. This matter has been resolved. Don't worry, the child will get better soon. Just contact me when you need more medication."
I understand Liu Xuemei's feelings as a mother.
