Chapter 178: 178 Bagua

"Is she the victim of this marriage, and she agreed to the divorce so readily?"

"Yes, she even left with the child to Xinjiang, and I’ve heard life there is very tough."

"Oh! It’s hard to describe. Women have it so difficult."

"Who wouldn’t agree? Even at our age, there are struggles—it would be better not to get married."

"Haha, is Sister Tian really thinking like this?"

"Yes, as Vice Factory Director Tian said, a woman can’t always revolve around the stove."

"I just saw Vice Factory Director Tian looking for Director Wei, the two of them?"

"Haha, you noticed too? Vice Factory Director Tian has her eyes on Director Wei, but the man hasn’t shown any interest."

"Huh? Vice Factory Director Tian is a great beauty, but Director Wei isn’t moved?"

"Yeah, I see Director Wei always avoiding Vice Factory Director Tian. Once during a meeting, he just watched as she fell down and didn’t help her up. She was really embarrassed then."

"Really?"

"Xinyu, have you heard any scandals about Director Wei at your textile factory?"

Jiang Xinyu shook her head; indeed, she hadn’t heard anything. "I guess I’ve been working here for a short time, and my business trips are frequent, so I haven’t heard much."

"Director Wei moved from here to your place; rumors about him being unusual have spread before." Sister Meng winked at Jiang Xinyu.

Jiang Xinyu chuckled inside, determined to get Sister Tian to reveal something so she could tease her later.

"How did this rumor spread?"

Tian Xiuhua leaned over the table signaling Jiang Xinyu, who immediately understood and leaned over as well.

"I overheard Secretary Tong mentioning it. Someone apparently took advantage of Director Wei being drunk, and put a naked woman in his bed, yet he showed no reaction.

Okay, that’s enough, why am I discussing this with a young girl like you?"

Jiang Xinyu clicked her tongue. Does Wei Kaiyun have such self-control? Every time they are together, he seems so miserable.

She felt even more satisfied with Wei Kaiyun.

"Xinyu, how about your factory? Any gossip?"

"Haha, I’ve only returned after spending a few months gone on a trip. When I returned, I was given a month off; I started work on the sixteenth of January and now I’m here again."

"That’s quite tiring. Why not send a male colleague?"

"I was Mr. Qian’s secretary then, wherever the boss goes, I follow."

"Qian Jun, right? He’s quite the handsome lad. Is he married?"

"Seems like not. I haven’t inquired."

"He doesn’t appeal to you?"

"No, I don’t like that type."

"Sigh! You are young and may not understand—men like Director Wei and Mr. Qian are reliable."

"Haha, I don’t see that."

"You youngsters prioritize looks, but they both look decent."

Jiang Xinyu really enjoyed gossiping with Sister Tian, finding they had no generational gap and could chat freely.

"Xinyu, are you thirsty?"

"Sister Tian, I’m not thirsty; am I interrupting your work?"

"No worries, as you know, there’s almost no work in the afternoon."

"I simply enjoy spending time with Sister Tian."

"I also enjoy talking to you. Perhaps you could marry my son? He works as a mechanic at the textile factory. He doesn’t look as good as Director Wei, but he’s honest and would treat his wife well."

"Sister Meng, let’s not. For now, I don’t have that thought, and I prefer not to marry so far from home."

"Really, I fancy you but we lack fate." Meng Lihong felt it’s a pity because Jiang Xinyu was quite likable.

Suddenly, the phone on the table rang. "Hello, this is Tian Xiuhua from the union. Okay, I’ll head over right away."

She hung up the phone and said, "Xinyu, I need to attend a meeting."

"Go ahead, I’ll go find our vice factory director’s secretary since I’m more familiar here and can check if she’s settling in."

When Jiang Xinyu found Pan Xiulan, the young woman was absent-mindedly sitting there.

"Secretary Pan."

"Director Jiang, you finally came over. I can’t stand being alone."

"Let’s go, we can check in on Vice Factory Director Yao in the workshop."

"Okay."

They left the office, Pan Xiulan leaned close to Jiang Xinyu, "Director Jiang, this Vice Factory Director Tian here is really overbearing. If I were under such leadership, I would have quit and gone home."

"Haha, let’s discuss that later."

They were stopped at the entrance of Workshop Eleven.

"Comrade, we are from T City Textile Factory, can you help call out our vice factory director?"

"Okay, please wait outside."

In a moment, Yao Shimin came out, looking displeased for being interrupted, "What’s up?"

"Vice Factory Director Tian over here invited us for dinner, and we are free now. Perhaps Secretary Pan can go with you and keep records."

"Right, Secretary Pan, come inside with me. Director Jiang, feel free, you’re more familiar here. We’ll meet in the director’s office after work."

"Okay, sure. You guys go ahead."

Jiang Xinyu wandered alone around the factory, noticing how much more advanced it was compared to home.

"Director Jiang, why are you here? Would you like to sit in my office for a bit?"

"Secretary Lu, do you have time? If the office owner isn’t around, I usually don’t enter."

"No worries, come on; I’ll treat you to some tea."

They entered the office. Lu Weiqi brought out his treasured tea set and brewed tea for Jiang Xinyu.

"Haha, Secretary Lu, are you knowledgeable about tea?"

"I mostly learned from my family. Director Jiang, try it, this is good tea. Yet I always feel I can’t brew it perfectly."

"I don’t understand much; I just drink it like water."

"Director Jiang, the meeting content focuses on learning from your textile factory. This session is chaired by Vice Factory Director Tian."

"Haha, that’s why we’re here. We await the outcome from the management bureau."

"Our Vice Factory Director Tian is quite determined about this."

"Haha, there’s no free lunch in this world. Thank you, Secretary Lu."

Lu Weiqi chuckled, noting despite her young age, she’s quite something.

The phone rang. "Hello, Lu Weiqi.

Alright, understood, I’ll definitely inform our director."

"We have a meeting tomorrow. We’ll head over as well. I’ve heard other brother factories joined too."

"Haha, they sure act promptly." Then the phone rang again.

"Hello, Lu Weiqi. Yes, Director Jiang is here."

Jiang Xinyu took the receiver, "Hello, Jiang Xinyu.

Alright, we’ll be there tomorrow. Thank you."

"Was that an update for you guys too?"

"Yes, tomorrow will be lively, truly speechless."
