Chapter 139 Don't rush, let's wait until it's late before we act.
The sudden change of personnel sparked curiosity among these leaders, but some also had ulterior motives.
"The call came at an inopportune time; Xiao Zhang went home for dinner, so I just dragged a girl from the office over!"
Miao Shoujun waved and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Qiao Manman, an outstanding employee of our factory."
He has not only published articles in provincial and industrial newspapers, but has also conducted legal training.
"Oh, by the way, Lao Zheng, the mooncakes from your factory were brought back from Suzhou by Comrade Qiao."
When Qiao Manman's "achievements" were presented, the factory managers were filled with awe.
"Ah, you're that... yes, yes, I've heard of you! No wonder you look so familiar!"
Qiao Manman smiled, her attitude neither humble nor arrogant.
I found a corner to sit down and had the system amplify the surrounding sounds.
Upon listening, quite a bit of gossip was indeed uncovered.
The director was arguing with his wife and talking about divorce, and the secretary got a defective product and exchanged it with everyone for resources. In short, it was quite a spectacle.
Qiao Manman was a new face, and although she attracted everyone's attention, no one went up to chat with her before figuring out her background.
Qiao Manman was happy to have some peace and quiet.
After listening for a while, I felt it was all the same old stuff over and over again. Feeling bored, I withdrew my consciousness into my spatial storage and started organizing the supplies.
Especially the books on mechanics and materials that were just signed in.
A moment later, the leader presiding over the meeting arrived. Qiao Manman asked the system to record the audio signal for her, and she also picked up a pen to take shorthand notes.
The meeting was very serious, mainly focusing on workplace safety.
Security here refers not only to fire prevention and disaster relief, and personnel safety, but more importantly, to preventing infiltration by spies.
When this topic was brought up, Qiao Manman's expression turned serious. However, the leader only touched on it briefly and did not elaborate further.
The meeting ended quickly, and Qiao Manman followed Miao Shoujun to the municipal machinery factory.
First, we discussed the performance of the first half of the year, and then we discussed the production tasks for the next period.
"Our Changping City Machinery Factory has been lagging behind in performance. We still have a few months left, so let's all make a final push and strive to deliver a satisfactory result to the Party and the people."
The leaders of the machinery factories in each county nodded, concluding the meeting.
As Qiao Manman walked out of the conference room, she saw that the sun was already setting in the west.
After a tense afternoon, the three of them were starving.
Miao Shoujun took Qiao Manman and Qian Junfei to a state-run restaurant for a simple meal before heading to Yang County.
It took an hour to get there, and another hour to get back. By the time we arrived at the factory, it was completely dark.
Fearing for her safety, Miao Shoujun asked Qian Junfei to take Qiao Manman back.
Qiao Manman politely declined: "No, boss, it's easy for me to take a car back, but how will I get here tomorrow? What if I'm late? That would be such a bad impression!"
Miao Shoujun raised his hand and pointed, giving her a reproachful look: "You still say that? You were two hours late today, and I didn't see you feeling embarrassed at all!"
Qiao Manman laughed and said, "I was out looking for a place to live. Running back and forth every day, even a person made of iron couldn't take it!"
Miao Shoujun asked curiously, "Did you find it?"
"Found it! It's near the police station, five yuan a month, and the place is pretty good!"
"It's good that you found someone. Be careful if you live alone!"
He then stuffed Qiao Manman's bicycle into the trunk: "Now you have nothing to say, right?"
Qiao Manman raised her hand and made a zipping motion, then smiled and said, "Then thank you, leader and Comrade Qian!"
Qian Junfei smiled shyly: "Comrade Qiao helped me take meeting minutes all afternoon, thank you for your hard work. It's only right that I see you off!"
Qiao Manman raised an eyebrow, sensing there was more to this than met the eye.
He smiled and sat in the back seat, waving to Miao Shoujun.
Miao Shoujun was very considerate: "Consider today as overtime, you can come in two hours later tomorrow."
"Alright, Factory Manager, you should go back and rest early too!"
The car slowly drove away, heading towards Xiangyang Commune, then turned and headed straight for Qingshan Brigade.
On the way, through conversation, Qiao Manman learned that Director Miao had originally only planned to bring the driver to the meeting.
It was Qian Junfei who said he didn't know how to take meeting minutes and was afraid of messing it up, so Director Miao had no choice but to call on Qiao Manman.
Qiao Manman rubbed her stiff hands, feeling that this was truly an undeserved disaster.
But she's just a low-level employee; she moves things wherever she's needed.
He sighed and said, "Comrade Qian, have you ever noticed that drivers are usually the leaders' confidants? The more capable ones get promoted along with the leaders. Some even end up filling the leaders' vacancies?"
Qian Junfei's heart skipped a beat: "Really? I've never heard of such a thing before!"
Qiao Manman scratched her head: "Because the driver is very important, he has to accompany the leader on business trips everywhere."
Over time, the relationship became closer, and you were able to build a considerable network of connections.
I'm telling you all this because I think you can improve yourself.
If Director Miao needs you in the future, you can step up immediately, which will not only demonstrate your abilities but also highlight your importance.
Then a promotion and a raise will be just around the corner, right?
Qian Junfei's eyes lit up as Qiao Manman flattered him: "Comrade Qiao, you know so much!"
Qiao Manman smiled: "It's alright, everyone's been working hard for the factory. We're all moving forward with the same goal."
The vehicle soon arrived at Qingshan Brigade, and the noise of the engine attracted many commune members to come out and see what was going on.
Qiao Manman pointed out the direction and told Qian Junfei to stop at the foot of Daqingshan Mountain. She got out of the car and politely invited him to her home for tea.
"No, it's too late. I have to go back and deliver the car. See you tomorrow, Comrade Qiao!"
Qiao Manman steadied the bicycle: "Okay, drive carefully on the road. We can talk about it at the factory tomorrow."
As the car drove away, Qiao Manman was about to go back when she noticed a number of people jumping out from the shadows of the trees.
"Man, who was that person just now? Is he your boyfriend?"
Wow, driving a car! How impressive!
Qiao Manman laughed awkwardly and said, "No, no, it's just the factory driver."
I went to a meeting in the city today and came back too late. My boss was worried about me, so he had him drive me home!
"Really? Does that young man have a girlfriend? Should I introduce him to someone?"
"Yes, she's married. Her boyfriend is in the car, didn't you see him?"
Qiao Manman talked nonsense with a straight face, fooling all the key personnel in the village's intelligence center.
"No, it's pitch black. Who could see what was going on inside the car!"
Qiao Manman laughed heartily: "That's true! Alright, aunties, I'm going back now, I have to go to work tomorrow!"
"Sigh, let's go back, your mother is getting impatient!"
Qiao Manman averted the crisis and rode her bike home.
Her poised and confident demeanor left no one with any doubts.
As soon as she pushed open the door, Big Yellow pounced on her, almost hitting her in the chest twice more.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop! I just changed my clothes today!"
Qiao Manman pushed away Da Huang's big head and saw it tugging at her clothes, looking anxious.
"Hmm? Something's up!"
"Wang!"
Qiao Manman rubbed the dog's head and fed it two mutated wheat grains.
He whispered in its ear, "Don't rush, let's wait until it's late before we act!"
