Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 668: Making

Director Liu had just received a phone call from Huang Shi, who said that he had reported the situation to Song Yunuan and told him to do what needed to be done and to not be polite about it.

Since the leader had spoken, of course Director Liu had to stick to the principles.

If he couldn’t stick to principles, why would the higher-ups have placed him in such an important department as the head?

"Half your salary?"

Sun Jinrong, how could you even say such a thing?

But he still suppressed his anger and said, "Comrade Sun Jinrong, you have been working for many years, and you have to take responsibility for what you say. Now tell me which units have this phenomenon, and since you know about it, as a head of department in our finance bureau, you have the authority to correct it instead of using it as a threat against me." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Sun Jinrong glared fiercely at Director Liu, who was known for his uncompromising stance. She was truly infuriated. She knew about such incidences, but she didn’t know where they were occurring.

And besides, if a unit really did that, how could it possibly let the information slip out?

Although her current status meant she was not afraid of offending anyone, most of the individuals in Nanshan City were elders, and she didn’t want to be cursed for no reason.

Moreover, what did it have to do with her anyway? It was not as if it cost her family money.

Sun Jinrong’s face changed, and in the end, she could only say stiffly, "You’re thinking too much, Director Sun. It was just a casual remark I made earlier. If there’s no such phenomenon, that’s naturally for the best. If it did exist, with my character, wouldn’t I report it to you?"

Innerly, Director Liu scoffed.

Still, he eased his tone a bit and said to her, "Section Chief Sun, you have also been an official for many years, so you should know we have rules and regulations. How many people are watching our department? We aren’t responsible for our own profits and losses—salary distributions go through multiple layers of approval. And for you to go to Beidu to become a factory director, how could such a big deal go unnoticed?

"Even if you tell people you took leave to go back to Beidu for personal matters, Zhilan Group is one of our country’s most famous big enterprises. The opening of a new plant would attract widespread attention.

"Wouldn’t the TV station go and film it? Wouldn’t they broadcast it as news? Wouldn’t newspapers report it? As the factory director, how could you not appear on TV or in the newspapers?

"Then you say you’ve taken leave, the people at the unit may believe it, but after they see the news and reports, how can they still trust it?

"Will there be people making a fuss after that?

"You should know that people nowadays are very bold. Sometimes they file a complaint directly to Beidu without going through us. So if you really want to be the factory director, you should apply for unpaid leave of absence, or otherwise, just focus on your work at the unit."

After hearing this, Sun Jinrong, although unhappy, realized Director Liu was right.

How could the opening of such a large plant not be reported?

Especially one related to the Zhilan Group.

Normally, this would be considered big news, and she was the factory director.

In the end, Sun Jinrong forced a smile, though she didn’t sound pleased, "Then proceed with my unpaid leave of absence. Get it done today. Little Nuan is urging me to go; they are eagerly waiting for me to take over the work there."

Director Liu handled Sun Jinrong’s application for unpaid leave quite swiftly.

By noon, the city had already approved it.

Huang Shi had not expected Little Nuan to move so quickly.

Worried, he wondered if Sun Jinrong, with her current personality having forgotten her initial aspiration and picking up many bad habits, would bring trouble to Little Nuan?

For them, it was like getting rid of a heavy burden.

But then he thought of Little Nuan’s abilities and breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning home at noon, Sun Jinrong discussed the matter with Song Nian who had just returned.

Song Nian, not believing it, called Little Nuan.

Song Yunuan put it this way, "Little uncle, initially I wasn’t aiming for the family business. But it’s unavoidable that the management and key departments will be filled with our own people because they can be trusted. So, rest assured, and keep up the good work yourself. After you become well-established and have expanded your forestry and timber business, you might even be transferred to Beidu."

Song Nian had his own issues when it came to dealing with his own family.

Song Yunuan and Old Mrs. Song had discussed it, noting that it was her indulgence that had spoiled him.

It was also Old Mrs. Song’s overindulgence that had led him to develop many bad habits.

This is because there’s someone holding the fort at home, or else it’d be a clear-cut case of a freeloader.

Feeling like his or her parents owe them, demanding food when there’s none and clothes when there’s a lack. As long as you’re alive, what’s yours is mine. When you die, I’m also entitled to a share of your property.

But on the whole, Song Nian was on the right track.

Otherwise, Song Yunuan wouldn’t have supported him in becoming the head of this thousand-employee factory.

Dealing with Sun Jinrong was a way to give Song Nian hope.

Song Nian, on the other end, was also stunned, gripping Dongfang Hong’s hand a bit nervously.

"Little Nuan, is what you said true or false? You’re not just pacifying your uncle, are you?"

"Uncle, I never joke about major matters as long as I have the ability. And on the premise that I have the ability, you also need to be prepared to be scrutinized."

Song Nian certainly understood what she meant and nodded vigorously, saying, "Little Nuan, rest assured, I will be completely clean in this position. I can absolutely withstand testing and inspection."

"Since that’s the case, Uncle, you just give it your all!"

After hanging up the phone, Song Nian glanced at Sun Jinrong.

Even though no one had complained to him, he vaguely heard that his wife was actually unpopular at the Finance Bureau.

You might think she’s surrounded by high-flying friends, but those are all for the sake of Little Nuan and Gu Huai’an behind them.

If it were just the two of them, who would take them seriously?

He understood this principle.

But he still felt somewhat uncertain.

However, Little Nuan had already told him the truth, so he then said to Sun Jinrong, "You refused to go to the down jacket factory before, insisting on going to Beidu, and now you’ve finally got your wish. So work hard, and don’t let Huzi down."

Sun Jinrong naturally had another quarrel with Song Nian.

But in the end, she still warned Song Nian that she wouldn’t be home and that he had better be on his best behavior. If he dared to do anything, she would never let him off the hook.

The procedures on this end were handled swiftly, and the move to Beidu was quick; Song Yunuan certainly wouldn’t do something foolish like enticing people with empty promises.

If she said that Sun Jinrong would be the factory manager, then that’s exactly what Sun Jinrong would be.

It’s just that the deputy manager was a capable person recruited from outside.

Apart from Sun Jinrong, the management team each had impressive resumes.

But actually, Sun Jinrong’s own qualifications were also quite good.

Old Mrs. Song sternly warned Sun Jinrong that if she really did something shameful, she shouldn’t blame her for forcing her son to divorce her.

She even shouted at Sun Jinrong, "Don’t think that just because I’m old now, you can get away with shitting on my head!"

Sun Jinrong took office immediately.

After enjoying the novelty for a month, she started feeling out of place with the tense and busy work schedule.

You must understand that at her previous job she was used to arriving late and leaving early, knitting sweaters, drinking tea, or simply driving out to roam around for fun.

She really was accustomed to a leisurely life.

In this factory, she had to get to work early and leave late every day, with a mountain of tasks to handle, and even while sitting in her office, there was an endless stream of things that needed her attention.

Her brain, which hadn’t been exercised for many years, now had no choice but to become active.

Dog-tired every day, Sun Jinrong finally couldn’t hold up anymore.

But she didn’t quit; instead, she started to slack off...
