Xie Zheng was arrogant and smug. He looked down on those who were inferior to him and was jealous of those who were more capable than him. Apart from a few who fawned over him, everyone else was disgusted by Xie Zheng's condescending attitude.
Even Director Li was beneath his notice, and he was extremely arrogant.
So when they heard the news that Xie Zheng had been beaten, everyone was happy and had more energy at work.
Factory Director Li went on and on, and Xu Qingqing was so tired of hearing it that she quickly interrupted him: "Did Factory Director Li come here today just to tell me all this?"
"How could that be!" Director Li quickly waved his hand.
"I've come to you today with some good news. The steel mill is currently short of a publicist, and with your abilities, you're definitely qualified. What do you think?"
Actually, this was also what Secretary Lin instructed: first, lure Xu Qingqing to the propaganda position, and then they would be in charge of everything else.
Seeing Director Li's smiling, shrewd demeanor, Xu Qingqing felt something was amiss.
Factory Director Li continued to coax, "Young Xu, our steel plant is famous around here for its high salaries and benefits. Everyone wants to work hard to get into our steel plant."
"It's really just sitting there, writing and drawing, very relaxing."
Xu Qingqing was shamelessly tempted, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter. It was just writing and drawing; she was very familiar with this kind of work.
Noticing Xu Qingqing's expression, Director Li continued, "Isn't this better than you working in the wind and sun?"
After he finished speaking, the old man sat down on the bench, but there was no tea on the table, so he couldn't serve it.
Xu Qingqing was still pondering when Bo Jingran looked at her expectantly, wondering if he would go crazy if he didn't seize such a good opportunity.
Under the watchful eyes of the two men, Xu Qingqing thought of all the benefits and nodded in agreement, but there were still some things she needed to explain.
Xu Qingqing: "I can agree, but anything outside of my job duties is outside my scope of responsibility, and you have no right to demand that of me."
Factory Director Li's smile froze. Seeing Xu Qingqing's suspicion, he immediately regained his smile and nodded in agreement, "No problem, please rest assured, I'm not that kind of person."
Xu Qingqing was suspicious and still uneasy, so she took out paper and pen and wrote something down.
Seeing Xu Qingqing's series of actions, Director Li's heart skipped a beat, and he asked curiously, "What is Xu Qingqing writing?"
Xu Qingqing replied without looking up, "Guarantee."
"A guarantee?"
Factory Director Li was astonished. By the time he finally saw the so-called guarantee, his scheming had vanished.
Xu Qingqing pointed to the guarantee in Director Li's hand and said calmly, "That's right. I've thought about it. I verbally agree, but if you don't admit it, there's nothing I can do to you."
With this guarantee, even if you try to act like a scoundrel, it won't work. It's all written clearly in black and white.
"Oh, and don't forget to give your fingerprints."
Bo Jingran saw that Director Li's hands were trembling, and he neither spoke nor pressed his fingerprint. He was anxious and desperately tried to signal to him with his eyes, wishing he could do it himself.
Seeing that Director Li was still dawdling, Bo Jingran strode forward, grabbed Director Li's hand, and was about to press his fingerprint on the document.
Factory Director Li's eyes widened in panic, and he refused to let his fingers touch the paper. The two of them struggled desperately, neither willing to give in.
Xu Qingqing seized the opportunity and handed over the paper. Before Director Li could notice, his finger, covered in red mud, pressed onto the paper.
"No--!"
Time seemed to move in slow motion, flowing at a very slow pace. Director Li watched helplessly as the piece of paper drifted further and further away from him, finally settling on Xu Qingqing's smug expression.
He broke free from Bo Jingran and rushed to Xu Qingqing, trying to snatch the paper away.
Xu Qingqing had just taken out another note and was about to fold the two together to keep them safe when Director Li came over to snatch them. The two notes fell to the ground because she couldn't hold them properly.
Xu Qingqing picked up the note closest to her; the other note had been taken by Factory Director Li.
Factory Director Li smiled smugly at Xu Qingqing and waved the small note.
Bo Jingran was behind him, about to launch a sneak attack, when he heard Xu Qingqing say, "Director Li, you should first make sure that what you are holding is a guarantee."
Factory Director Li didn't believe it, but when he looked down, his face turned green.
What Factory Director Li was holding was not the guarantee he had signed with his fingerprint, but the debt for compensation for losses owed by Xie Zheng.
Factory Manager Li: "..."
Looking at that astronomical figure again, Xu Qingqing is truly an animal!
At this moment, Factory Director Li was damnably tempted and wanted to keep the debt note for himself. He struggled to look away, not wanting to see that tempting number again.
But his hand was clenched tightly, and he kept rubbing it against the edge of his pocket.
Xu Qingqing couldn't laugh. She stretched out her hand and threatened, "Try rubbing it again. If the writing on it disappears, I'll ask you for compensation."
Heh, if you don't see through his little scheme and dare to covet what's yours, I'll break your legs.
Factory Director Li felt extremely wronged and could only hand the compensation slip in his hand to Xu Qingqing.
Xu Qingqing snorted, gave Factory Director Li a look that said "you'd better know your place," and tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't.
Her face darkened, and Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth and said, "Let go of me!"
Factory Director Li ignored her and held on tightly, refusing to let go.
"Fine, you forced me to do this," Xu Qingqing declared.
Factory Director Li still wouldn't let his guard down.
"Woof—woof woof—woof woof—woof"
Xu Qingqing barked like a dog and viciously bit at Director Li's hand.
Factory Director Li was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand, jumped behind Bo Jingran, and patted his terrified heart.
Factory Director Li was on the verge of tears, realizing how could they treat an elderly person like this?
You beast!
Xu Qingqing carefully put it away as if it were a treasure, actually placing it in her spatial storage, and looked at Director Li with a smile in her eyes.
Factory Director Li was so startled that he immediately shrank behind Bo Jingran, completely unaware that with his large physique, how could Bo Jingran, with his small build, possibly block him?
Xu Qingqing: "Director Li, now that the matter has been decided, rest assured, I will do my best."
Factory Director Li waved his hand, took a few steps back, and chuckled dryly, "Hehe, it's up to you. I'm off now, don't bother seeing me out!"
After saying that, Director Li retreated to the door, quickly opened it, and ran away as fast as he could.
A few words floated down from the sky: "A day full of nothing but trouble!"
After Director Li left, Xu Qingqing's stomach kept rumbling, and she sat on the bench with her eyes fixed on Bo Jingran.
Damn it, didn't you hear her stomach rumbling? How could you be so insensitive?
Bo Jingran didn't understand what she meant at first, but finally realized it under Xu Qingqing's fierce gaze and went out to get the food.
After chatting with Director Li for so long, not only was Xu Qingqing hungry, but he himself was too.
As soon as the food was laid out, Xu Qingqing quickly shoveled rice into her stomach, her mouth bulging like a little hamster.
Only after he had filled his stomach did he finally stretch, lie down on the bed to rest for a while, and then ride his bicycle to the production team.
He became famous in the production team once again.
