Chapter 1302: This Isn't Someone Coming to Steal Credit; She's Practically Coming to Undergo a Tribulation
What Chuxue did not know was that the new factory director was also in a dire predicament. Originally, the higher-ups had intended to promote Deputy Director Gu, but he had pulled strings and secured the opportunity. Yet before the factory director's chair had even warmed, problems arose with the orders from the Canton Fair, and the other party had tacitly arranged for the reception they had initially received from Xiao Chuxue to be handled by her.
But Xiao Chuxue had already resigned, and under such circumstances; wasn't this creating a difficulty for himself?
At this moment, the new factory director, Zheng Dongyuan, was holding a meeting with factory leaders. The cigarette he held had burned his hand before he realized it, and in anger, he threw the butt fiercely into the ashtray before him: "If there is no better solution, then we must go to their door and beg."
"Director, I heard that Xiao Chuxue's husband is in the military. Why not have the higher authorities communicate with the military? Surely, for the greater good..."
Deputy Director Gu's face darkened: "For what reason did she resign? Now you want the military to exert pressure? What are you thinking?"
The newly arrived Director Zheng shook his head: "That method is indeed inappropriate. After all, we are not in the same system. Why would they help suppress their own subordinate? I fear it will only end in ridicule."
Director Zheng made the final decision: "If we cannot handle even this matter, I fear we will not be able to explain ourselves to the higher-ups. I heard that Deputy Director Gu's family has some connection with Comrade Xiao. Tomorrow, let us go there together and strive to obtain her forgiveness to help us overcome this crisis."
If not for the fact that Director Zheng was someone who actually got things done, Deputy Director Gu would not have agreed. But thinking of the factory's current difficulties, he could only nod and say: "Very well."
Immediately, he spoke again: "After all, it is the factory that wronged her. There must be some compensation, right?"
The factory director tapped his fingers on the table for a long time before saying: "The reward for the merit at the Canton Fair will be released along with last month's wages. An additional two hundred yuan will be added. Furthermore, if she is willing to return to help handle the order coordination, the factory will grant her a formal worker position."
Deputy Director Gu nodded: "Then we cannot go to their door empty-handed. Should we not prepare some gifts? After all, Comrade Xiao is currently pregnant."
Director Zheng nodded in agreement: "Director Chen will handle this matter. Do not let it delay tomorrow's use."
At this moment, Director Chen coughed lightly and stood up: "Director, the reporter comrade who previously came to the factory to find Comrade Xiao has returned. Moreover, I heard she is inquiring about Chuxue's affairs within the factory. By the time I received the news and chased after her, she had already left. We must send someone there as well; we cannot let anything go wrong."
He also felt that the previous Director Yang had gone too far. Before bestowing any commendation for the merit, he had first burned the bridge. He had advised against it back then, but Director Yang simply would not listen.
If he were not in this position, he truly would not want to manage this broken matter. But when he went over, those who knew the truth told him that the female reporter's face had looked very grim when she left. He feared she would directly write a report, after all, those who can be reporters possess a sensitivity unlike ordinary people.
Upon hearing this, the factory director became even more extremely agitated and slammed his fist onto the table: "I understand."
After returning to his office, he immediately made a phone call and briefly explained the situation to the other side: "Please, I ask that you take extra care with this matter."
The person on the other end of the phone was not very worried: "Rest assured. If there is any negative draft, she will not even pass the review. Since you are uneasy, I will make another call over there in a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Director Zheng finally let out a long breath: Truly a miscalculation. This is not someone coming to steal credit; she is practically coming to undergo a tribulation.
