Xia Wenhua was met with Huang Dacheng's resolute departure and the office door slamming shut with a deafening crash.
The arrogant Director Huang was clearly furious.
Xia Wenhua shook her head, feeling quite regretful for not getting to hear the gossip personally provided by the person involved, and could only put the self-criticism away for now.
Huang Dacheng stormed off without even glancing at Director Mo, who was guarding the door.
Director Mo, who was still waiting for Xia Wenhua to bring a surprise, became increasingly uneasy and rushed into the office immediately.
"Comrade Wenhua, how are you?"
He saw that Xia Wenhua seemed to be packing something away, but that had nothing to do with him.
Today, he deliberately arranged for Xia Wenhua and Huang Dacheng to be together, and even hinted to his superiors beforehand that he might have a solution.
It doesn't matter if Xia Wenhua and Huang Dacheng didn't reach an agreement. So many leaders have failed to do this, so no one will say anything if he didn't succeed. But the talks can't fall apart.
When Huang Dacheng arrived, he looked alright and was even in the mood to find fault. But when he left, he was furious and couldn't even see people. Could he be even angrier than before the talks?
Director Mo was filled with anxiety, his expression shifting between light and dark as he eagerly awaited Xia Wenhua's answer.
"Don't worry, Director, Director Huang won't cause any more trouble for our steel plant." After Xia Wenhua finished speaking, she saw the light in Director Mo's eyes and sighed.
“This was an accident. I don’t get along with Director Huang. You should be able to understand how he left.”
In the past, when Xia Wenhua said this, Director Mo always thought that Xia Wenhua was just deliberately obscuring the facts because she didn't want to directly talk about her relationship with Huang Dacheng.
After Huang Dacheng smashed things in the office today, and left looking livid, Director Mo finally listened to a little.
He glanced at Xia Wenhua: "Your relationship is just so-so?"
"It's fair to say it's very bad," Xia Wenhua nodded affirmatively.
Director Mo had forgotten how excited he was when Huang Dacheng first arrived today.
He looked at Xia Wenhua with a hint of regret.
"Never mind, it's just so-so. Anyway, this matter has been resolved, so it's not a loss."
That's the truth. Regardless of Huang Dacheng's relationship with Xia Wenhua, Xia Wenhua has now resolved Huang Dacheng's problem of causing trouble, so he can report to his superiors now.
With such a great achievement, Director Mo had already planned to apply to his superiors for something.
What happened next was no longer Xia Wenhua's concern. Huang Dacheng dealt with his romantic entanglements, and Director Mo shone brightly at the steel plant for solving Huang Dacheng's big problem. Everything seemed to be back on track.

The days passed by at a leisurely pace, and before we knew it, it was December, and the New Year was just around the corner.
As the year draws to a close, the steel plant's production targets have been reduced, and various cultural and artistic activities have increased within the plant.
Among the factories in Anshi, the steel mill is undoubtedly the leading one, and there are quite a few organizations waiting to form a joint venture with it.
Every day, new organizations come to socialize. These are usually small things that the women's director takes the lead in. Other leaders won't get involved, and it has nothing to do with the secretariat.
Grandpa Zhang sent a message to Xia Wenhua saying there was a letter for her. Xia Wenhua took advantage of her break to go out and get it. The roadside was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it quite lively.
As she stepped into the gatehouse, she saw a group of young men and women walking in from afar.
"Xia is here. Come and see the people from the food factory first. I'll find you a letter later."
Older people, regardless of gender, love watching these arranged marriages.
As the food factory team approached, Grandpa Zhang clicked his tongue in approval: "They all look so upright. It's just that the women's director didn't handle things well. Why didn't you just have the women come for the social event? Why bring the men?"
"Our steel plant already has very few women; we can't even keep up with the internal staff. Asking them to bring men along only intensifies the competition!"
He not only watched and commented, but also insisted on getting Xia Wenhua involved.
"Xia, do you think what I said is right?"
Xia Wenhua was amused by Grandpa Zhang: "Alright, grandpa, I know you care about the men in our factory, and everyone remembers your kindness!"
If the women's director really only allows women and not men to come, the women at the food factory might get shy and none of them would come!
Not only are there few women working at the steel plant, but their welfare benefits are among the best in the entire city of An.
Marriage, in essence, is a social activity that weighs financial resources and family background. It's important for young men and women to be attracted to each other, but it's not that important.
The steel mill leaders weren't worried at all about the female employees being seduced by men from other smaller factories, unless, of course, the man came from a very wealthy family.
For ordinary workers, even if the women in their factory were willing, their parents would definitely not agree.
When female employees from other factories come to the matchmaking event, as long as they hit it off with a male employee from the steel factory, marriage is immediately arranged. That's the confidence of the steel factory.
Grandpa Zhang grumbled as he watched the people from the food factory go inside, then turned back and smiled at Xia Wenhua.
"Xia Xia truly lives up to her reputation as someone who can write for the newspaper; she's cultured, and her words are so insightful!"
Several months have passed since Xia Wenhua submitted her report. She's already secured her position as team leader, and the trend of writing articles in the factory has long since passed. Xia Wenhua has no intention of writing any more articles.
Everyone has gradually forgotten about it, but Grandpa Zhang still remembers how excited he was when he received the letter from the newspaper, and he brings it up from time to time.
Xia Wenhua smiled and took the letter from Grandpa Zhang's hand.
The letter was sent by Sister Huang from Heilongjiang Province. Even though they were separated by most of China, their contact had not been broken.
Whenever there was anything interesting happening in the family compound, Sister Huang and Sister Ye would write to Xia Wenhua to tell her.
Xia Wenhua, who rarely had the experience of sharing, gradually became familiar with it. Occasionally, when she heard Comrade Qian Xiaohua talking about outrageous gossip, she would write it down and write it down for her two sisters-in-law.
The letters went back and forth quite frequently.
Aunt Huang's letters usually didn't contain anything important, so Xia Wenhua opened them as soon as she left the guardhouse, intending to read them on her way back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Wenhua opened the letter and saw the very first sentence, she was immediately frozen in place.
"Wenhua, I'm coming to Guangxi Province to visit relatives. I estimate I'll arrive soon after you receive this letter. I'll come visit you then, so please don't look down on me!"
Is Sister Huang coming?
Visiting relatives in Guangxi Province? Sister Huang isn't from Guangxi Province, and Wang Tuanzhan isn't from here either. Did they come specifically to see her?
Xia Wenhua read it carefully, and after figuring out what kind of family Huang's wife had come to visit, her expression became strange.
