The morning bus arrived at the county seat before seven o’clock. Ye Ning rushed to the rented house first and changed into her work clothes. She also took the work clothes from the workshop with her on the way, just in case she had to leave the workshop without even having work clothes.
The guard uncle already knew Ye Ning. He glanced at her and waved her in. There was an extra table on the right side of the entrance to the Human Resources Department. The girl sitting behind it was Bai Xue, who was admitted in the same batch as her. When she saw Ye Ning, she nodded. She turned to the side as if she couldn’t see her.
The words of greeting that had reached her lips were swallowed back. Since they were not going to pay attention to her, why should she lick her face and get closer to them.
Director Lin’s seat was vacant. Ye Ning specifically looked at the kind-looking comrade and asked, “Director Lin is not here yet?”
“He is already here. She has gone to send a document to the leader. Please sit down for a moment. Director Lin will be back soon.” The woman who spoke had seen Director Lin’s enthusiasm for Ye Ning last time, and knew that there was someone behind this person and she could not offend her.
Not letting Ye Ning wait for long, Lin Hong came back angrily with some documents. Seeing Ye Ning, her expression softened and she said, “Have all the things at home taken care of? Don’t worry, you can just come back to work after everything is settled.”
“It’s been taken care of. Thank you, Director Lin, for your concern.” Ye Ning didn’t take this seriously. She took leave as soon as she came to work, then she didn’t know how she would die later.
“Okay. Then I will take you to the place where you will be working. Our pharmaceutical factory is different from other factories. After all, the hygiene requirements for medical treatment are stricter. The place we are in now is an office building. The Human Resources Department is on the first floor. Turning left when you go out, you will see a large factory area.”
Director Lin pointed at the factory area and said: “The innermost factory building on the left is for the production of medicines. You must not enter without the permission of the leader. Once it is contaminated, the entire batch of medicines cannot be used, and the loss will be huge. It’s important, you might even be jailed.”
Ye Ning immediately nodded seriously, “I understand, thank you, Director Lin, for reminding me.”
Lin Hong waved her hands and continued: “Not only that factory, but also the factories next to it cannot be entered without the signature of the leader, the workshop you are going to this time is the packaging workshop, which is the one at the front. The workshop director’s surname is Yang. He is a veteran comrade in our factory for many years and knows a lot. You can learn a lot from him, but Director Yang is quite a serious person, especially towards his subordinates. Of course, as long as you do your job well, Director Yang will not do anything to you.”
From what she meant, this Director Yang was not only serious, he should be very fierce, Ye Ning thought that it would be difficult to do her job in the future, so she would just take it one step at a time.
Lin Hong also talked about some of Director Yang’s likes and dislikes. Ye Ning concluded that Director Yang had mysophobia and was strict with himself and others. He hated people who came in with connections and those who were lazy and not enterprising.
In a sense, Ye Ning could be considered someone with a connection. Wouldn’t she be thrown into the cold palace before they even met, right?
They arrived at the workshop office. There was a man about forty years old inside. Lin Hong saw him and asked with a smile: “Director Wang, where is Director Yang?”
“It’s Director Lin. Director Yang has left the workshop.” Director Wang looked at it Ye Ning, who was following Lin Hong, nodded and said hello in a very friendly manner.
“I’m going to take you to see the workshop. Did you bring your work clothes?” Lin Hong glanced at the clothes Ye Ning was holding and nodded, “Take it and follow me.”
Ye Ning said bye to Director Wang, then she turned around and followed Director Lin to the workshop.
Because it was a pharmaceutical factory, the factory area was kept spotless. Even if they were not in the workshop, the employees were still neatly dressed. Ye Ning followed Director Lin to the locker room, where she put on dustproof clothes and tied her hair up so that not a single hair was exposed. There was another door here. They could not wear the shoes on their feet and must put on the dust-proof shoes inside the door.
“Wash your hands here, and by the way, put on the mask.” Lin Hong said.
Ye Ning didn’t expect this era to be so strict, but it was normal when you think about it. After all, it was medicine and it needed to be cleaner. But did even the packaging workshop need to be like this?
When she entered the workshop for the first time, she glanced at it without daring to look around further. She followed Director Lin to find Director Yang who was talking to several team leaders and the like.
“Director Yang, are you leaving the workshop so early?” Lin Hong smiled and called Ye Ning to his side.
“The goods this time are very important. I have to come down to supervise them personally. Why does Director Lin have time to come to my workshop?” Director Yang glanced at Ye Ning and asked lightly.
Ye Ning initially thought Director Yang was a man, but she didn’t expect it to be a woman. Just by looking at her and hearing her words, she knew she was not an easy person to get along with.
“Didn’t you always say that you are too busy to write reports? No, the factory has recently recruited a new batch of talents. This is Comrade Ye Ning. She was among the best in written examinations and interviews. Several leaders were vying for her, but I know that you are in urgent need of people here, so I refused to agree and sent them to you.” Lin Hong was indeed in charge of personnel affairs, and so she praised Ye Ning and withheld the credit.
Director Yang looked at Ye Ning, who only had two eyes exposed. Her eyes were firm and did not dodge. She was not afraid when she looked at her. She also bent her eyes. She was a courageous girl. She didn’t think she would be able to say anything to her to make her cry.
“Okay, then follow me first, but I’ll be the first to say something ugly. If you can’t meet my requirements, then you can take the person away yourself.” Director Yang said in front of Ye Ning. The corners of Ye Ning’s mouth twitched under her mask. No wonder this position was her turn. She finally found the reason.
“Don’t worry. If Comrade Ye Ning wasn’t really good, I wouldn’t have dared to send you here. If there’s no problem, I’ll leave first. Xiao Ning, Director Yang is an old comrade of our company. You should study hard with Director Yang. You know where my office is. If you need anything, you can come to me. Director Yang, I will Comrade Ye Ning to you. I have a lot of things to do over there, so I’ll go back and get busy first.”
“I know, I can learn from Director Yang. I would also like to thank the factory and Director Lin for giving me this opportunity. I will work hard.”
Ye Ning sent Director Lin to the door and immediately returned to Director Yang. Seeing her sorting out the data, she looked at it for a while and asked: “Director, can I sort out this data? How about I do it?” It was really embarrassing to stand like this.
Director Yang glanced sideways at Ye Ning, and handed her the notebook and pen, “Compile the data for each day of the last month, and write them down carefully in groups one by one.”
“I understand.” Things were not going right. It was difficult, but it was very troublesome to sort it out. It took a whole morning just to record the data, and her hands were sore from writing. Ye Ning missed the computer so much that she twisted her neck and continued to sort it out.
“After work, let’s go eat first.” A team leader came to Ye Ning and whispered to her.
Ye Ning searched around but couldn’t find Director Yang, so she asked in a low voice: “What time do you get off work here?”
“Eleven o’clock, lunch and an hour’s rest. Stop looking, Director Yang has already left.” The team leader Chang chuckled and said, “Actually, Director Yang is a very nice person, but people outside say she is evil.”
Ye Ning smiled sheepishly. Speaking of which, Director Yang was a little colder but did not hit or curse anyone. She deliberately made things difficult for her, as if she was led astray by Director Lin’s words.
“Team leader, I only have one day left to sort out the list. I need to sort it out before going to eat.” Ye Ning was a bit of an obsessive-compulsive person. Unless there were so many things at hand that she needed to divide them into several days to complete, only when she was done with her work could she eat in peace.
“Okay, the canteen is diagonally opposite the office building. Don’t make a mistake then.” The team leader went to eat first.
“Hey, thank you, team leader.” Ye Ning continued to sort out the data. After coming here for about four or five minutes, she finally sorted out all the data, closed it and put it neatly, and brought it to the office to give to Director Yang.
Ye Ning took off her dust-proof clothes and shed a thin layer of sweat. There was no air conditioning at this time, just a few fans, which was actually very hard.
“Director.” Director Yang was the only one sitting in the office. Only then did Ye Ning see how tall she was. She had fair skin, an oval face, a delicate nose and mouth, and she looked a bit classically beautiful. However, her sharp eyes ruined her look. “This is the data I have compiled. Please take a look and see if there is anything wrong when you have time.”
“If I still have to check if it is correct, why do I need you? Won’t I just do it myself?” Director Yang glanced at Ye Ning, said calmly: “The work assigned to you in the future is your responsibility. If anything happens, I will come to you directly. If nothing happens, leave as soon as possible.”
Ye Ning doubted that she would just say get out of here. It was indeed difficult to get along with, but not to the point of crying with grievance like a little girl, after all, after so many years of struggling in the workplace, what kind of leader had she never seen? It would be better for someone like Director Yang to explain everything clearly.
What she was most afraid of was the kind of smiling tiger who smiled at you as if you were his relative. When there was a problem, he would directly push you out and you would never even know how you died.
Seeing Ye Ning nodding with a smile and calmly packing her things to eat, Director Yang raised her eyebrows and looked at the data she had compiled. What caught her eye was a beautiful handwriting. Looking at the words and the person, it seemed that the person was almost the same. Where to go, pick up the book, open it, and read page by page.
When Ye Ning arrived at the cafeteria, the people in the office had almost eaten. When Wang Bin saw Ye Ning coming in, his eyes suddenly lit up and he waved to Ye Ning to sit with him.
“Why did you get off work so late? I heard that you were assigned to a workshop as an assistant. Which workshop?” Wang Bin asked in a low voice.
“Something delayed me. I’m going to get some food first.” Ye Ning came back from the meal. Wang Bin and the other three hadn’t left yet. “You guys can leave first after you finish eating.”
“It’s okay. It’s still early before work anyway, so you haven’t told me yet. Which workshop?” Wang Bin asked eagerly.
“Under Director Yang in the packaging workshop.” It was not like she couldn’t say it. Even if she didn’t tell him, he would know it when he inquired about it in the afternoon.
“Why were you assigned to Lao Yang?” Zhu Yonghui looked at Ye Ning sympathetically.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Ning looked at them confused.
“You didn’t know it when you first came here. Lao Yang is our famous Living King of Hell. She is extremely strict with her staff. Anyone who works for her will be returned to the Human Resources Department within one month. You… you should try to find a way to transfer somewhere else?”
“How do you talk?” Yang Wanqing glared at Zhu Yonghui, “But you are really unlucky. I thought you had some background, but now it seems that you really got in by yourself.”
What do you mean? Before co-writing, I thought she came in through connections? Although it is true, her test scores were indeed taken by herself.
However, Director Yang and Yang Wanqing both had the surname Yang, and Zhu Yonghui had just been prevented from saying bad things about Director Yang, so they were probably related.
“I’m almost done eating. Let’s go first.” No matter what relationship they had, it had nothing to do with her. She just had to do her job well.
“Wait, it’s not work time yet, you just came to the factory, I… let me show you around.” Wang Bin said with a little uneasiness.
