Today’s events made Hu Weihong lose face. When he went to complain to the Factory Director, the Factory Director surprisingly told him to endure it and informed him that Zhan Lingfeng was going to be the one in charge of the new design proposal, someone he couldn't provoke.
Seeing the Factory Director's attitude, Hu Weihong understood that the Factory Director didn't want to stir up trouble; it was a clear stance of self-preservation.
After work, several of Hu Weihong's close friends gathered at a small restaurant to drink.
One of them from the design department, named Cao Bin, said, “Brother Hu, that Xing is too despicable; we need to deal with him.”
“That's right, Brother Hu. If you need anything, just let us know. Everyone knows the situation. How dare that Xing undermine Brother Hu? It's just a mobile phone design proposal. Honestly, I’m not trying to stir things up, but since his proposal is already out there, with your skills, you can definitely modify it to be even better. Whether he’s around or not doesn’t matter; we just need to get rid of him from the design department.”
Hearing this, Hu Weihong's eyes lit up as he nodded slightly and said, “You have a point. It’s just that Director Ning values his abilities. Everyone can see that his proposal isn’t crucial.”
“Brother Hu, I suggest we teach him a lesson and drive him away. Once he’s gone, it won’t have any impact at all.”
“Brother Hu, let’s find a few people to beat him up and incapacitate him. Let’s see what he can do then; if we ruin his hands, he won’t be able to design anything anymore. Who would care about him then?”
“How do we go about it?”
“As long as you pay, there are many people willing to do this now; every part has its price.”
“Just don’t let it turn fatal; we only need to incapacitate his hands.”
“That’s easy enough; a few thousand bucks will do. There are plenty of people who will come forward for this.”
A fierce look flashed in Hu Weihong's eyes as he said, “Then it's settled. You go find someone and take care of him!”
After getting drunk, they decided to deal with Zhan Lingfeng without realizing what kind of person Zhan Lingfeng truly was.
Zhan Lingfeng returned to the new residence. Upon entering, he was taken aback; the entire room was nicely decorated, and all kinds of facilities and equipment had been prepared, even the bed was made.
“How is it?” While he was looking around, Zhan Lingfeng heard a voice behind him. Turning around, he saw Jiang Lingyu.
“Thank you so much! Once I get my paycheck, I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”
Jiang Lingyu smiled and said, “I know you’re short on money. Don’t worry, everything we bought today is from everyone’s goodwill, so you don’t need to pay for it.”
Zhan Lingfeng was stunned. “Everyone contributed?”
“Yes, we discussed it at home. There wasn’t much we could give you, so each person brought a few items. Just thank everyone later.”
Zhan Lingfeng was somewhat speechless; he hadn’t expected this.
“Come on, my food is ready. Let’s eat together.”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhan Lingfeng followed Jiang Lingyu to the room across the hall.
Once inside, he realized that the decor was very cozy.
Seeing Zhan Lingfeng looking around, Jiang Lingyu asked, “What are you looking for?”
“Just checking if Brother-in-law is home; I hope he hasn’t been kicked out.”
“Don’t be reckless!”
Jiang Lingyu pouted playfully.
After sitting down, Jiang Lingyu said, "I live here alone, and I specially cooked today to invite you to eat."
The dishes had already been served on the table, and each one looked quite good.
After pouring the wine, Jiang Lingyu said, "Drink a few glasses with me."
Zhan Lingfeng smiled, and the two began to eat.
Jiang Lingyu intentionally began to explain the situation in the entire factory to Zhan Lingfeng.
Listening to Jiang Lingyu's account, along with Miao Yongli's narration, Zhan Lingfeng gained some understanding of the situation in the group company.
Looking at Zhan Lingfeng, Jiang Lingyu said, "Although I graduated from university, I studied secretarial work. Finding a job is both easy and difficult; more often than not, it's for ulterior motives. It's hard for women to develop in this society, and it's even harder in a technical factory. As I mentioned earlier, the situation in the group company isn't too good. If a new product doesn't come out, the group company will collapse. This is not alarmist talk."
"Is everyone worried about this?"
"Of course! Who wouldn't be? I believe Miao Yongli has told you some things as well?"
When Miao Yongli was suddenly mentioned, Zhan Lingfeng was taken aback.
With a playful laugh, Jiang Lingyu looked at Zhan Lingfeng with a half-smile and said, "Don't think everyone is blind. You two were inside for quite a long time last night while dancing. The excuse was quite ordinary. The main thing is that I saw something special on Miao Yongli's clothes and even caught a whiff of it."
Ah!
Zhan Lingfeng was stunned; he didn't expect this woman to notice that.
Looking at Zhan Lingfeng, Jiang Lingyu said, "Miao Yongli's sister is being kept by the Deputy Factory Director. In fact, she is also that man's woman; they are sisters working together. Although Deputy Factory Director Lu Zhongcheng has connections, those connections are through his wife. He doesn't dare to make things clear. Lu Zhongcheng isn't from a technical background either and lacks confidence in this factory. Even if he manages to bring down the Factory Director, his chances of rising to power aren't very high. Moreover, with the group company in its current state, the focus is on developing products. People like you will be valued even more."
"Do you think the Factory Director is going to fall?"
Zhan Lingfeng looked at her.
After taking a big sip of her drink, Jiang Lingyu's eyes revealed a strange meaning as she sighed and said, "Actually, the women in our Integrated Department have many helpless situations. It's not just Miao Yongli; I am in the same situation. I believe Miao Yongli has told you about my circumstances, right?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhan Lingfeng.
"She did say that you are the Factory Director's woman," Zhan Lingfeng replied, also looking at her.
Jiang Lingyu blushed and huffed, "I knew this person would say that. Well, since it's clear now, I won't hide it from you. This is the situation; you won't look down on me, will you?"
Zhan Lingfeng said, "Everyone has their reasons for doing things; no one can judge others. There's no question of looking down on anyone."
Jiang Lingyu replied, "I have fought back before, but I was beaten down time and again. After one night of heavy drinking, I found myself next to the Factory Director, and I resigned myself to it."
Zhan Lingfeng nodded and said, "There are indeed many helpless situations."
Jiang Lingyu looked at Zhan Lingfeng and said, "I haven't been with the Factory Director for a long time; he is no longer capable. What Miao Yongli can do, I can do too!"
Zhan Lingfeng then looked at Jiang Lingyu.
