Chapter 61: 61 are satisfied with the meat pies

"Please come in, I don’t have any tea leaves here, so you’ll have to settle for hot water."

"You go ahead, we’ll help ourselves, no need to be polite."

The two entered the west room and saw the dishes on the table. "This girl sure is skilled! Just the smell of the sausages is appetizing."

"Yes, I’ve eaten them twice before, and just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

"Xiao Wei, next time you have another meal like this, count me in."

"Sure, but there won’t be many chances. This girl will soon start working."

In the main room, Jiang Xinyu was in charge of cooking, while Wang Ailing was flipping the pan. Soon, a rich aroma of meat filled the air.

"Smells amazing, I will definitely bring good stuff for this girl in the future."

"Old Yang, you’re just a year older than me, why haven’t you settled down?"

"I haven’t met the right person. No alcohol, huh? I’ll bring my own next time."

Wei Kaiyun knew Old Yang didn’t like this topic, so he let it go.

When the first batch was ready, Wang Ailing brought it in.

"You two eat first, the second batch is already on."

"Then I’ll dig in, meat pies are best when they’re fresh from the pan."

The second batch was served, and the first was already finished, with half of the table’s dishes consumed.

This batch was brought in by Jiang Xinyu. "Master Yang, don’t be polite, have some dishes."

"Leave a little for you guys."

"No need, you eat. I’ll mix some more later. Director Wei, how do you find the meat pies?"

"It’s the kind that just gushes with juice when you bite into it. Absolutely delicious, even better than the last time I had them."

"Glad you like them."

The two men ate four batches of meat pies, which was twenty-four pieces in total.

Wang Ailing muttered quietly, "They’re really good eaters, huh?"

"Since we’re treating them, let’s make sure they eat till they’re full. Okay, this batch is done, you should go eat too."

"I’ll wait for you. I don’t like the freshly-cooked ones, too hot."

When they brought in the last two batches, the table was already cleared.

"Director Wei, Master Yang, do you want some more?"

"I’m full, twelve meat pies. Little miss, I’ll bring over some good stuff for you in the future. You cook, I finally realized I’ve been ruining things."

"Haha, Master Yang, I may not have time, there are only three days before I start working."

"No problem, I’ll drop by in the evening. You don’t work at night, do you?"

"Sure."

Wang Ailing was too tempted as well, she ate six meat pies on her own, and Jiang Xinyu, with less eating power, had four.

By this time, the water outside had also boiled, but Jiang Xinyu was stopped from making soup.

"The bowls are all oily, just add hot water."

After the meal, Wang Ailing helped clean the table and then left with Wei Kaiyun.

Jiang Xinyu washed her hair and bathed using a big basin. The water shouldn’t be wasted.

On the fifteenth, at seven-thirty in the morning, Jiang Xinyu arrived at the textile factory, found the union, and completed her onboarding. Then she reported to finance; without her name registered, there wouldn’t be any paychecks.

After everything was done, she went over to report to Wei Kaiyun.

Qian Jun shook hands with Jiang Xinyu. "Welcome, Secretary Jiang."

"Please take care of me, Secretary Qian."

"Alright, Secretary Jiang, follow me to the meeting. I know your shorthand speed, today we’re heading to the city union meeting, showcase your ability."

"Director Wei, I don’t have a bicycle. How should I go? Should I take the bus?"

"No need, we have a car for meetings, we use it for trips. Let’s go."

Jiang Xinyu hugged her notebook and followed behind Wei Kaiyun, Secretary Qian was responsible for driving.

Doesn’t the textile factory have a driver? Why is the secretary driving?

Actually, Qian Jun is just a driver holding the secretary’s position.

It took the three half an hour to reach the city union.

Jiang Xinyu walked next to Wei Kaiyun and kept pace with Qian Jun.

"These are all the directors from various factories in our city. Over there is the mine director.

Over there is the cement factory director, and the one talking next to him is the ceramics factory director.

The ones I told you about are all important figures, but the others are also decent."

"Got it, I’ll remember."

In her previous life, Jiang Xinyu never became a secretary, not due to lack of ability but because of her appearance. In college, she studied this subject, so she understands the work of the secretary position.

At this time, there weren’t any assistants or similar roles, being a secretary meant purely working without having to take care of leaders’ daily needs, which made things much easier.

The three reached the textile factory’s spot, with Wei Kaiyun sitting at the front, and Jiang Xinyu and Qian Jun sitting behind.

"On our left is the director of the aluminum factory, he’s easy to talk to and has a good relationship with our Director Wei.

The right side has the manager of the building. You’ll understand him later, but remember, don’t believe his promises to you."

"Okay."

"Ahead is the steel factory director. His secretary is extremely skilled, turning unreasonable things into her favor. Be careful when dealing with them."

The city leaders and the union president entered the hall, everyone quieted down.

Jiang Xinyu noticed that since entering, Wei Kaiyun only nodded and rarely spoke.

Being a secretary means not speaking or speaking less, you have to understand the leader’s intentions. This familiarity needs time to develop; it’s something to explore slowly.

An hour later, Jiang Xinyu finally understood. Was this a meeting? It seemed more like a brawl of shrews.

Wei Kaiyun remained silent until the city leader asked him a question. He stood, "Leader, our textile factory’s only challenge is the lack of raw material supply, with the bigger situation as it is, saying anything is pointless. So, the requests from the building and supply center can’t be met, given finished products from the textile factory are allocated by the province.

It’s not that I don’t wish to supply them, we’re currently producing military supplies."

After he finished, the noisy ones quieted down; who dares meddle with military supplies? Risk their lives?

Jiang Xinyu suddenly recalled that Wei Kaiyun’s trouble was due to military supplies.

She quickly focused, as a secretary, one must record useful information attentively.

Jiang Xinyu witnessed the uncharacteristic side of important figures. There was even crying; the station chief’s lament felt genuinely tough even to her.

"Okay, Station Chief Zhao, we all know your difficulties. I’ll find ways to address them higher up." The city leader had the same response.

Jiang Xinyu’s pen didn’t stop, filtering out useful notes in her mind.

"Zhao Xiangxing, only you know how to cry, only you have it tough? Are we others having it easy?" Manager Liu from the supply center immediately retorted.

The scene was out of control once again. Jiang Xinyu snickered secretly while noting down.

Qian Jun had been observing Jiang Xinyu all along, recognizing her capability as her pen never stopped. Suddenly seeing her smirk made his heart move a little, and he took a serious look at the young girl, admiring her elegantly delicate side and most strikingly her fair skin. Seems this girl is quite pretty.
