Chapter 1642: Chapter 781: Lin Xiumei Becomes the Factory Director_3

It sounds as if him becoming the director is some sort of punishment, which is truly laughable and frustrating. But it’s also an inexplicable misunderstanding, really. Pang Fa couldn’t possibly go around explaining, "I’ve been involved since Xiao Fei started setting up this factory"—people might have the idea in their minds but wouldn’t say it outright. How is he supposed to clear it up every single time?

Considering Pang Fa is misunderstood like this, you can only imagine what the other workers in the Meat Processing Factory might think.

But if Boss Yan’s esteemed mother were to join the factory, everything would change. Even if the factory were relocated to Africa, as long as Lin Xiumei was there, no one would feel it was a side project anymore.

Although Chen Liqiang is quite skilled in his job, life experience is still a different matter compared to talent. Take the example of Cheng Yuncai, the Grade Eight worker: give him tons of money but make him live far from home, and he wouldn’t be able to sleep well. On the other hand, let him earn less and do more work near home, and he’d be happy as a clam every day.

Lin Xiumei, after all these years, hasn’t really changed. Aside from working in the factory, she’s still just one of the countless, ordinary homemakers out there. Even though her son became a big boss, she’s remained pretty much the same. Now, being persuaded by both Pang Fa and Chen Liqiang, she was hesitant and unsure what to decide. Instinctively, she turned to her son, hoping for his advice.

Yan Fei thought for a moment and said, "Mom, don’t look at me. Why don’t you discuss it with Dad? Anyway, the Meat Processing Factory’s business isn’t that large. If you want to give it a shot, go for it—just treat it as practice. Don’t worry, whatever decision you make, your son supports you."

Lin Xiumei was still hesitating about whether to call Yan Wenhai or not, while the technical production deputy factory director, Old Xing, was already finding it hard to stay seated. He had always understood Boss Yan’s stance toward the Meat Processing Factory. Back when Sancha River first started operating, Boss Yan’s attitude was ambivalent at best; he treated it as a temporary solution to selling unsold beef, indifferent to whether it made money or not.

Now, the Meat Processing Factory has grown and developed, even surpassing the peak days of the old Meat Processing Factory. But Morning Glory has grown even faster; compared to the cattle-raising business, the Meat Processing Factory still doesn’t amount to much.

So, upon hearing Yan Fei’s advice for his mother to use the factory as practice, Old Xing felt that this wouldn’t do—it was necessary to get Boss Yan to take the factory’s development seriously!

How to make the boss take it seriously? Well, if the boss’s mom joined, wouldn’t that solve everything?

Not waiting for Lin Xiumei to decide whether to make the call, Old Xing quickly chimed in, "Sister Lin, look, I say it’s no big deal if you become the factory director. Anyway, with Boss Yan here, what are you afraid of? Others would love to have a son this capable! If you don’t understand something in the factory, just let Director Pang and us handle it. If there’s a county enterprise conference, you can attend and get to know more people. With Boss Yan around, even the county party secretary would have to treat you with respect—there’s nothing to worry about..."

The difference between men and women lies right here. While Yan Wenhai is proud of his son, the notion of "a father basking in the glory of his son" still hurts his pride. But Lin Xiumei is different. She feels proud when others treat her differently because of her son.

When she first entered the office, she was quite delighted for a while. Had it not been for the boredom over time, she wouldn’t have left the fertilizer factory—after all, with her son achieving success, it would’ve been a shame not to show off!

Old Xing’s original intention was to reassure Lin Xiumei, but her thoughts had already gone off track.

Indeed, having such a successful son and being made the factory director by her own flesh and blood—that’s filial piety at its finest. Imagine going out and saying, "My son made me a factory director"—how impressive that would be! If she attended a county enterprise representative meeting... all those people she used to think of as big figures would now be attending with her. She could finally show them just how incredible her son is...

"Alright, I’ll be the factory director then!" Lin Xiumei said this almost subconsciously as her thoughts raced.

"Everyone, welcome the new factory director..." Dang Jianfu was the quickest to react—he didn’t even wait for Yan Fei to speak before clapping enthusiastically. He could see clearly that Boss Yan wouldn’t oppose this decision.

Although it was just a few people, the applause was oddly fervent.

Boss Yan looked at his overly excited mother, who clearly had her mind elsewhere, and began to wonder how his dad would feel once he found out she had become Director Lin—the expression on his face would surely be priceless...
