Chapter 13 My Mom Was a Factory Manager in the 1970s
The espionage incident came to an end with the news that the machinery factory had secured a major foreign exchange order.
The workers in the factory are all very motivated now.
Keep in mind that the bonus was given out before production even started, which is quite a rare occurrence in An County.
In the past, working in textile factories and food factories was considered the most prestigious job by the people of An County.
Now that Si Yan has become the factory manager, not only does the canteen serve meat at every meal, but she also receives a monthly bonus in addition to her salary. This is something only we get in the city.
Now that foreign exchange orders have been secured, people who don't know the details are also very happy. All they know is that products made in Anxian County can now earn money from foreigners.
Lin Jianjun was the one who had the worst time in the entire machinery factory.
Si Yan didn't target him, but the way people around him looked at him made him feel uncomfortable.
Just as it implies how blind one is, it's a constant metaphor for losing the big picture while picking up trivial matters.
Logically, as the head of the logistics department, he should be the busiest person around lately.
But now he was completely sidelined, and he felt really stifled at work. Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Jianjun simply took leave and went home.
"Jianjun, is there a problem with your work? You've been resting at home for several days now."
"Xiaoyu said that the factory is very busy lately. As the head of the logistics department, the factory can't do without you, no matter who else it may be."
Li Hui was extremely anxious looking at Lin Jianjun, who had been resting at home for several days. Could there be any problems with such a good job?
Xiaoyu said she had a way to make Siyan and her daughter suffer that day, but so much time has passed and there's still no news.
What Li Hui didn't know was that because Si Yan came out quickly that day and brought news of earning foreign exchange, no one paid any attention to the gossip about Si Yan before, let alone spread it.
Therefore, Li Hui was unaware that Lin Xiaoyu's plan had already been implemented.
This resulted in her failing to clean up Lin Xiaoyu's mess in time, leading to her later deep regret.
After this false accusation incident, Lin Youyou became even more attached to Si Yan.
"Mom, did you develop all those appliances the factory mentioned? You're so amazing! Compared to you, I'm so stupid."
"Haha, Youyou, it's good that you have ideals. Besides, your talent is different from your mother's. Your mother can't compare to you when it comes to painting."
"That's right, I'm my mother's daughter, I should at least have something to show for myself."
Thinking back to what I saw through the telescope, Lu Huai, who is dating Youyou, seems to be a decent person. It's about time he met her parents.
"Youyou, have you started dating someone lately?"
"Oh, Mom, how did you know?"
"Come on, Mom isn't blind. The man who waited with you for news from Mom that day was probably your boyfriend."
"However, the fact that he still chose to come and be with you in that situation proves that he's a pretty good person."
Looking at Lin Youyou's flushed face, Si Yan smiled teasingly.
"Ask him when he'll be free, so our two families can have a formal meeting."
"Really? Mom, you don't object? I haven't even told you about his family's financial situation or how many people are in his family."
"Youyou, you need to understand that you have your mother's support now. Other external conditions don't matter. As long as he's a good person and you like him, that's enough."
[Host, you're such a fake. You clearly knew about Lu Huai's family background and character through the telescope, yet you're trying to fool this young girl with your emotions. You truly are the best actor among hosts.]
Si Yan was smiling when she heard the system Xiao Qi's voice. Her smile paused for a moment, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Alright, Youyou, that's enough for today. Get some rest."
"Okay, goodnight, Mom."
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
Si Yan stared straight ahead into the void.
[Xiaoqi, check your happiness level.]
[Received, happiness score being checked.]
[Current happiness level is 97%. Query complete.]
Sure enough, the happiness index increased. It seems that the final happiness index is directly related to Lu Huai.
Having figured things out, Si Yan stopped worrying. It seemed she really had to make this relationship happen.
On Monday, people from the city's machinery factory came.
One after another, three cars arrived, each with a serious expression, suggesting that their intentions were not good.
"Hello comrade, we are from the Municipal Machinery Factory. May I ask where your factory director's office is?"
The person asking for directions was Sun Zhiyong, the deputy director of the municipal machinery factory.
"Hello, boss, the factory manager's office is on the second floor."
"Factory manager, the leaders from the municipal machinery factory have arrived. I've brought them with me, so I'll head out now."
The worker who led the way left with a smile, but if he had known what was to come, he probably wouldn't have been smiling at all.
Looking at the leaders of the municipal machinery factory, Si Yan, who was smiling and about to get up to greet them, hadn't even opened her mouth when she was angered by a remark from Deputy Director Sun of the municipal machinery factory, which made her smile disappear.
"Director Si, here is a notification signed by the leaders of the Municipal Machinery Factory."
"Starting today, the new electric fans and refrigerators will be produced by the Municipal Machinery Factory, while the Anxian Machinery Factory will be responsible for producing other tasks assigned by the Municipal Machinery Factory."
According to the regulations and rules of state-owned enterprises, the municipal machinery factory does indeed have the right to make such arrangements.
However, Si Yan's situation is different. The Anxian Machinery Factory was essentially bought by Si Yan alone.
Si Yan was also responsible for all the employee benefits.
Because 80% of the factory's profits belonged to the state, no notice was issued within the state-owned enterprise, so these people did not know that the Anxian Machinery Factory actually belonged to Si Yan alone.
Their wishful thinking is now thwarted.
"Deputy Factory Director Sun, I wonder if you consulted the city leaders about this notice, or if it was only from the leaders of the machinery factory?"
"It's just a small matter, why bother the leaders above? Our machinery factory has the right to make such a decision, please cooperate, Director Si."
"Really? How come I didn't know that a small machinery factory could do foreign exchange business?"
A loud voice rang out; it turned out to be a high-ranking leader who was just passing by.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Deputy Factory Director Sun was terrified.
"Governor, what brings you here?"
