Chapter 196 Deputy Director Zhao was sidelined
Chapter 196 Deputy Director Zhao was sidelined
After arriving in the county town and settling down, Shen Anan planned to visit the furniture factory first.
Because the situation was unclear this time, she did not bring Wang Zhen with her and planned to go to Deputy Director Zhao alone to find out the truth.
Of course, this time she learned from her last lesson and didn't dare to take anything, so she went empty-handed.
As for the gift prepared for Deputy Director Zhao, I’ll find a way to give it to him later.
There are so many people and so many gossips in the furniture factory, it is indeed not a suitable place.
However, when Shen Anan was taken by the guard to a small room next to the workshop warehouse and saw Deputy Director Zhao sitting inside, she almost didn't react.
Before Shen Anan came, she had thought that the situation on Deputy Director Zhao's side might not be optimistic, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
The small room in front of me was next to the warehouse, so the air was filled with the smell of wood, and the lighting was poor, making it dark overall.
The room was very small, only about seven or eight square meters, and there was basically no furniture except for a desk.
After all, he is the deputy factory director, and this office is indeed too exaggerated.
When Shen Anan arrived, Deputy Director Zhao was wiping the table by himself. When he saw Shen Anan, his hands paused.
"It's An An, come and sit down." Zhao Lei put the rag in the basin and pulled a stool over from the side.
"Uncle Zhao, I just came back from Beijing, so I hurried to see you!" Shen Anan sat down with a smile, as if she didn't notice the surrounding environment.
"Oh..." Zhao Lei sighed, frowning, and had no interest in chatting.
"An An, if you're here about the red brick order, then Uncle Zhao is really helpless!"
"But don't worry, the most they can do is find fault and delay payment. We have signed a contract, and they can't play any other tricks."
Although he is in trouble now, he still has a lot of connections after working in the furniture factory for so many years.
He received the news as soon as the Wanyang Brick Factory incident happened.
Zhao Lei smiled bitterly, haha, so what if I knew.
There is no place for him in this furniture factory now.
Shen Anan didn't expect Zhao Lei to make things clear all at once.
But looking at his furrowed brow, one could tell that he had indeed been extremely anxious during this period.
Shen Anan paused and said, "Uncle Zhao, if you believe what I say, why not tell me about it."
"You've helped me many times before. If I have the chance, I'd like to help you too."
Zhao Lei was silent for a moment, somewhat hesitant.
One reason was that he felt that his current predicament could not be solved by a little girl like Shen Anan alone.
On the other hand, he is a grown man after all, and it is indeed a bit embarrassing to ask a little girl for help.
Shen Anan saw Deputy Director Zhao's dilemma, but did not urge him.
After all, she didn't have much contact with Deputy Director Zhao, so it was normal for him to have concerns.
Anyway, there is a contract for the furniture factory's order. Even if the payment is not made on time, if she can get other orders, the difficulties of Wanyang Brick Factory can be solved.
Zhao Lei hesitated for a long time and decided to tell Shen Anan.
He had noticed a few times before that this girl was indeed capable. Maybe she could come up with an idea this time too?
"An An, this is what happened..."
After Zhao Lei's narration, Shen Anan finally understood the whole story.
Director Jiang of the furniture factory is going to retire at the end of this year. Originally, there were only two deputy directors in the factory, Zhao Lei and Qian Xingwang. If nothing unexpected happens, the new director will be chosen from among them.
However, an accident happened.
After the New Year, a new deputy director was suddenly parachuted into the furniture factory. He was a young man with a strong background and was obviously here to take over the business.
Deputy Director Zhao had been operating for a long time, but was intercepted by someone else. Of course he was dissatisfied.
But that person seemed to have a very deep background, and even Director Jiang secretly told him not to go against that person.
What can Zhao Lei do? He can only consider himself unlucky!
I originally thought that even if he couldn't get promoted, as long as he did his job well, there would always be opportunities in the future.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after the new Deputy Director Xu came, Qian Xingwang started to curry favor with him.
He and Qian Xingwang were sworn enemies, and no one knew what Qian Xingwang had said in front of that person.
The two men suddenly joined forces to find fault with him. Not only did they constantly find fault with his work, they also basically stripped him of his power.
Even his previous office and secretary were taken away by Deputy Director Xu.
Zhao Lei has been staying in this small office these days, feeling very depressed.
It's not that he hasn't thought of a solution, but on the one hand, Director Jiang has been in poor health recently and hasn't come to the factory, so he's not in charge of things anymore.
On the other hand, the parachuted-in Deputy Director Xu was obviously the next new director, and no one in the furniture factory was willing to offend him.
Zhao Lei rubbed his face and laughed bitterly, "Look, I come to this office every day, but all I do is clean and read the newspapers."
"I really can't get involved in other things at the furniture factory."
After listening to this, Shen Anan also sighed.
At any time, these paratroopers are the most depressing.
The fruits are ripe, are you here to pick peaches? What were you doing earlier?
Where were you when we were planting trees?
Where are you when you are applying fertilizer?
It would be fine if they had some real skills, but those who just come to take advantage will be hated.
"An An, thank you for listening to Uncle Zhao's nagging. I feel much better after I told you." A look of relief appeared on Deputy Director Zhao's face.
Does he have to be the factory manager?
Actually, it’s not like that. He just doesn’t want to accept it.
I couldn't accept that after working hard for the furniture factory for more than ten years, this was the outcome.
"Uncle Zhao, this is not actually..." Shen Anan was halfway through her words when she suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around abruptly.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed in the warehouse.
Shen Anan: ...
This is like surveillance, isn't it?
Because of this discovery, Shen Anan didn't plan to say anything more here. After making an appointment with Deputy Director Zhao to visit his home tomorrow, she said goodbye.
Unexpectedly, she was stopped as soon as she left the warehouse.
"Please get out of the way!"
Shen Anan frowned as she looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her. He was about 1.7 meters tall and wearing a striped suit.
Her hair seemed to be shining from the countless amounts of hair oil she had put on it. Her hair was styled in a 2:8 split, with a slightly high hairline and a somewhat vulgar expression, which made Shen Anan feel a little nauseous at first sight.
But this man didn't notice Shen Anan's rejection at all. Instead, he leaned on the wall next to him with one hand and stroked his hair with his hand.
"You must be Director Shen from the Wanyang Brick Factory! You're quite pretty indeed!"
"I'm the new deputy director of this furniture factory, Xu. I'm in charge of your brick factory's orders now!"
