Chapter 327 Picking her up from get off work
"Sir, please have him wait for me there. I'll come find him after I finish my work."
Xu Sui, the newly appointed factory director, still has a lot of work to handle personally, so she can't leave work on time at all.
Security post at the factory gate.
The old man hung up the phone, finally confirming Qin Yunzhou's identity. He was about to tell Qin Yunzhou to wait there.
But then I thought, this is the factory manager's family member. They've come all this way, how can we let them stand at the door like this?
"Comrade soldier, come on, I'll take you to the reception room to sit and wait for the factory director. It's so hot, don't stand here."
"Thank you." Qin Yunzhou's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this.
They thought Xu Sui was feeling sorry for him, but little did they know that it was all the gatekeeper's own idea.
"It's alright, no need to thank me, let's go." Soon the gatekeeper led Qin Yunzhou into the factory.
As soon as Qin Yunzhou walked in, his crisp military uniform accentuated his tall and handsome figure, making him stand out with his exceptional temperament.
This immediately attracted the attention of many people in the factory.
Several young women, especially those peering out the window, noticed Qin Yunzhou and their eyes lit up. They quickly pointed in his direction.
"Look, look! That soldier is so handsome! I wonder if he has a girlfriend yet, since he suddenly came to our little factory?"
"Don't even think about it, good men are not for us, they're probably already in relationships."
Suddenly, someone looked at Lu Xiaoya, who was standing quietly to the side, and said, "By the way, Xiaoya, isn't your man in the military? I remember you're living in the military family compound now. Do you know this man?"
Lu Xiaoya looked out the window and watched Qin Yunzhou's figure walk further and further away until it gradually disappeared from her sight.
She pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and said, "I know him. He's my man's older brother, and also Director Xu's man."
"Really, this soldier is actually our factory director's man. No wonder he's so handsome. And look at his aura, he's quite something. It's true that capable people are best matched with capable people."
The others also got excited, and their gazes toward Lu Xiaoya changed, becoming much more friendly.
"Xiaoya, so you really are our factory manager's sister-in-law. I thought you were joking. No wonder you always go home with the factory manager and come to work together in the morning. So that's how it is."
"Your man must hold a very important position in the military."
"Yes, he is indeed a military officer." Lu Xiaoya pursed her lips, looking at the people surrounding her, their chatter filled with envy for her good fortune.
Her thoughts drifted for a moment. Her life was indeed somewhat good, but not that good.
These people are not her; they don't understand her suffering.
Besides Xu Sui, she could find no one else to confide in about her grievances.
But Xu Sui is highly educated, capable, and beautiful, and her man dotes on her so much.
Unlike her, who has nothing but the title of Gu Shu's wife in name only.
On the other side, Qin Yunzhou arrived at the reception area, led by the gatekeeper.
The reception area was actually quite small, and there was no one specifically in charge of receiving guests.
The old man dropped Qin Yunzhou off here and then left.
Qin Yunzhou sat there for a long time, glancing at the time again and again. He noticed that most of the factory workers had already left work one after another, and some were even peeking at him from the windows.
But Xu Sui hasn't come out yet.
He simply got up and went outside, randomly choosing a person who had been staring at him curiously earlier. The person was polite and had a clear, pleasant voice.
"Comrade, I don't know where your factory manager's office is. Could you please give me directions? Thank you."
"Okay...okay." The person who was called was Ma Honghua. She had come specifically to see what their factory manager's husband looked like, but she didn't expect to be stopped as soon as she arrived.
"Comrade soldier, come with me, I'll take you there."
On the way to the factory manager's office.
Ma Honghua kept secretly observing the man beside her.
This man is really tall and handsome, with fair skin. He doesn't look like a soldier; he looks more like a cultured university professor.
He has a similar temperament to their factory director.
The two are truly a perfect match, befitting a married couple.
Qin Yunzhou noticed the scrutinizing gazes of those around him. He frowned slightly, subtly distancing himself from them, and then broke the silence with a conversation.
"Comrade, is your factory very busy lately?"
Ma Honghua paused for a moment, then subconsciously shook her head. "No rush, no rush."
"However, the factory manager is quite busy. He just took office, and there are many things waiting for him to handle. There's not much we can do to help."
"By the way, the factory manager is amazing. Our factory was originally going to be shut down, but as soon as the factory manager took office, he not only managed to save the factory with the help of the county magistrate, but also settled all the wages that had been owed for several months at once."
Ma Honghua became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes sparkling.
"The factory manager said long ago that although we are just a small factory now, in the near future we will become a medium-sized factory with a few hundred people, and a large factory with thousands of people, and then our factory will get better and better."
Qin Yunzhou was also somewhat surprised, as he knew that Xu Sui had become the factory director.
When Xu Sui told him, she only said that the former factory director retired in a hurry and could not find anyone to take over, so he came to her.
He had always thought so.
Who would have thought that the factory was in such a bad state that it was already in arrears with wages? But Xu Sui still took on this heavy responsibility and settled all the workers' wages in such a short time.
Without even thinking, he knew that he must have put in a lot of effort and hardship.
"We're almost there. The factory manager's office is just ahead, so I won't go there."
"Thank you." Qin Yunzhou nodded and quickly arrived at the door of the factory manager's office.
The office door was closed.
He could hear the sounds of a meeting taking place inside as soon as he arrived at the door.
Qin Yunzhou didn't listen attentively, but he could still clearly hear the familiar voice coming from inside.
That was Xu Sui's voice as she held a meeting with the factory's leaders. She spoke very methodically and logically, and the questions she raised left everyone speechless. The solutions she came up with were met with applause.
Several other factory leaders, who were in their forties or fifties, were sitting below. At first, they were refuting and talking about this and that, but in the end, they could only listen attentively to Xu Sui.
Qin Yunzhou did not knock on the door, but waited quietly outside until Xu Sui finished her meeting.
This was the first time he had seen Xu Sui working.
