Chapter 1420: Misfortune Turns to Blessing

Factory Director Zheng never expected such a thing to happen.

Although no promises of special care were made when assigning the workstation, this person not only didn't drag the team down after joining the factory but also stood out for their ability.

He hadn't noticed before, but only because of this incident did he ask around among the subordinates; the person had only been in the factory for a short while when they could already handle material cutting alone, and when the foreman of the electrician team approached Qiu Shaofeng, the person was already preparing for the skill-level examination.

Moreover, the master who mentored him said that with Qiu Shaofeng's ability, not only Level One, but even directly testing for Level Two Fitter posed no problem.

The foreman of the electrician team also saw his talent in electrical work and felt it would be a waste to bury such talent, so he proactively extended an olive branch; he probably never expected things to reach this point.

And now, with Liu Chuxue's phone call, Factory Director Zheng felt the shame had reached its absolute limit.

Previously, with a talent like Liu Chuxue, the former factory director had forced her out; now, the situation involving her brother-in-law was so similar to hers.

It was merely that one used the power in their hands while the other used violence; regardless, it was a management problem within the factory, and he himself felt extremely awkward.

Qiu Shaofeng entered the factory very low-key; except for a few leaders in the factory, those below did not know his relationship with Liu Chuxue.

It also happened to be the perfect timing; at that time, the factory was holding an internal recruitment drive, and everyone thought he was also a nephew or son of someone within the factory.

Factory Director Zheng feared this incident would make Liu Chuxue even more dissatisfied with the factory: "The investigation is complete; the person who beat him up was Wang Great Ming, the deputy foreman of the electrician team in their workshop, and the few workmates who blocked the road with him, who usually hung out together, are now all detained at the Security Department."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue asked: "Then how does the factory plan to handle this matter?"

After learning that the beaten person was Qiu Shaofeng, Liu Chuxue's brother-in-law, Factory Director Zheng urgently convened a meeting of factory leaders: "All participants will be publicly criticized across the entire factory; Wang Great Ming's position as deputy foreman of the electrician team is revoked; he is barred from being evaluated as an advanced worker for three years; and three months' bonus is deducted.

Other participants will have three months' bonus deducted and are barred from being evaluated as advanced workers for one year."

Remembering something, he added: "Comrade Qiu Shaofeng's medical expenses will be shared equally among them, and each will pay twenty yuan as nutrition fees.

After all, Comrade Qiu Shaofeng suffered an undeserved disaster in this incident; the factory has specially approved one week of leave for him. Since he has greater talent in electrical maintenance, we cannot bury such talent; upon returning from leave, he will be transferred to the Power Section."

Liu Chuxue knew Factory Director Zheng was doing this for her sake, wanting to compensate her brother-in-law, but a sudden transfer to the Power Section might not be a good thing: "Factory Director, I thank the factory for its kindness on behalf of my brother-in-law, but he currently only knows the bare basics of electrical work; why not transfer him to the Electrical Workshop first? You've already done the good deed, so please help find a good master to mentor him."

Hearing Liu Chuxue say this, Factory Director Zheng looked at her with even greater respect: "What you say is right; learning the basics from the ground up under a master is more solid."

Qiu Shaofeng was still lying in the hospital, yet the matter was arranged this way; to put it plainly, this was an exchange of interests: "Factory Director, then thank you, and thank the factory."

Factory Director Zheng knew Liu Chuxue was satisfied with the handling result he had just described, and in the future, if he asked her for help, she would surely agree readily.

After hanging up the phone, he called Fu Yan Cheng again: "Yan Cheng, it's me."

"Wife, did something happen?"

His wife wouldn't call at this time unless something was wrong; he grew anxious, stood up immediately, and his hand already rested on the clothes hanging nearby, ready to rush out as soon as he hung up the phone.

Liu Chuxue, fearing he would worry, quickly explained: "I'm fine; it's just that something happened on my brother-in-law's side."
