After Huo Qiqi and Xiao Li completely disappeared, Xiao Liu, with a dejected look on his face, approached Director Wu and said sadly, "Who is that girl, Uncle Wu? Why are you trying to please her so much? Does she have some powerful background?"
The factory director looked at Xiao Liu helplessly and said patiently, "Xiao Liu, you have heard of Comrade Huo's background. She is the orphan girl of the Huo family. I told you that our textile factory was originally a cotton mill.
The cotton mill was founded by her grandfather, but as time went by, it became a textile mill, and her grandfather donated it to the country. Her parents were martyrs, so do you think her background is simple?
Xiao Liu shook his head subconsciously. He secretly cursed himself for being so rude. Why did he say that to others? If Huo Qiqi really pursued the matter, he would definitely not end up well. The crime of falsely accusing the children of martyrs alone would make him suffer.
Seeing that Xiao Liu was persuaded, Director Wu continued, "Our ability to secure this large foreign order has a lot to do with Comrade Huo. If she hadn't spoken well of us in front of Mr. Thomson, we wouldn't have gotten this order so easily."
Hearing what Director Wu said, Xiao Liu was surprised and asked, "Uncle Wu, how can Huo Qiqi speak Mandarin? Didn't she just come of age? It's really rare for her to speak Mandarin at her age. And Uncle Wu, do you also know Mandarin?"
Director Wu understood what Xiao Liu meant and said seriously, "Xiao Liu, do you suspect Comrade Huo is an enemy spy? I'm not surprised that Huo Qiqi can speak Chinese. After all, her grandfather was fluent in various languages when he was young."
Seeing Xiao Liu's thoughtful expression, Director Wu continued, "Xiao Liu, you have to remember that there's a word in this world called genius. Huo Qiqi is a language genius. I didn't expect that she, who just reached adulthood, could speak Mandarin so fluently."
"The reason why I know Chinese is because of Huo Qiqi's grandfather. When I was young, I worked with Mr. Huo for a period of time, and I learned Chinese from him."
At this point, Director Wu's thoughts raced, thinking, "If I hadn't recognized Comrade Huo as Huo Qiqi before the meeting, and if I hadn't recognized Mr. Huo's kindness and not taken the initiative to provoke her, it wouldn't have been so easy to get the order this time."
He couldn't help but sigh that Huo Qiqi's translation work this time was really good. As Huo Qiqi said, she didn't deliberately say bad things about any factory at work.
After Huo Qiqi left the meeting room, Director Xu happily saw Mr. Thomson off, then returned to the meeting room and relayed Mr. Thomson's words to everyone.
"Factory managers, let me relay Mr. Thomson's words to you. He explained to me why he chose only these two factories for cooperation.
The first reason was that choosing products from the food and textile factories was in line with their family's current development strategy. The second reason was that they had a bad first impression of the factory directors who had mocked and ridiculed Comrade Huo before the meeting. They thought that was not gentlemanly at all.
After hearing what Director Xu had said, the factory directors who had lost the election in the conference room looked at each other in bewilderment. They smiled helplessly. The director of the machinery factory said with emotion, "To be honest, I can understand some Chinese. Comrade Huo really didn't mean to say anything bad about our factory or our products.
Our failure to be selected is indeed closely related to ourselves. Since Thomson has cooperated with other factories, they can eat the meat and we can also drink the soup.
We will then look for suitable development opportunities. The most important thing is that we all ensure quality and improve our service attitude. I believe we can succeed."
At this moment, everyone in the conference room had the same thought in their minds: Comrade Huo was a remarkable woman, and they should try their best to cooperate with her in the future. It can be said that within a day, Comrade Huo's reputation became famous in the circle of Jing's factory directors.
Seeing Director Wu lost in his memories, Xiao Liu waited patiently for a while. Ten minutes later, Director Wu came back to his senses. He looked at Xiao Liu in front of him, sighed deeply, and said with infinite emotion.
"Xiao Liu, do you think I'm old? You young people are full of energy and ideas. You must work hard in the future. Even if you can't become a figure like Comrade Huo, as long as you can become a talented person, I will have lived up to your father's trust."
Seeing Director Wu's sad expression, Xiao Liu was deeply shocked. He never expected that Director Wu, who had never been afraid of hard work or fatigue, would have a day when he lacked confidence.
"Uncle Wu always said that an old man in the family is like a treasure. You are the treasure of our textile factory. You must not have any other ideas. The textile factory will develop better and better under your leadership."
Director Wu heard Xiao Liu's worry and said with a smile, "Xiao Liu, I'm not asking you to stay on the front line for a year to embarrass you. I want you to cultivate yourself and realize your mistakes after you return. As long as you perform well, you can return to the office soon."
Xiao Liu nodded seriously. He really didn't expect Wu Changchang, his father's old comrade-in-arms, to have such high expectations of him. For a moment, he was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.
He choked up and said, "Uncle Wu, I will listen to you. I will study hard and strive to return to your side as soon as possible. I will learn more skills from you and help you solve your problems."
Director Wu was relieved and said to Xiao Liu again, "Xiao Liu, you must always keep in mind what happened between Comrade Huo and that girl. Be careful in the future and never gossip about others. If you accidentally offend those important people, you will die without knowing how."
Xiao Liu nodded seriously, feeling terrified by his actions. Fortunately, Director Wu offered to punish him, otherwise he would have been beaten up by the girl named Xiao Li.
Director Zhou of the machinery factory looked at Director Wu and Xiao Liu talking, and said to his old friend Director Xie beside him with emotion, "Old Xie, it seems that you and I really can't accept our age.
Comrade Huo is truly the most outstanding young man I have ever met in my life. He is both talented and handsome. From now on, you and I should keep a low profile when we are out in public. Otherwise, as Old Wu said, if we offend some important figures, it will be too late to regret it."
Director Xie of the beverage factory also sighed, "There are really too few young people as young and outstanding as Comrade Huo. I have a feeling that we will have some cooperation with Comrade Huo in the future."
