Chapter 34

Du Yimeng took in everyone’s expressions. She looked at Yu Hongru beside her suspiciously. Is there something wrong with this position?

Then why did he let her sit here?

Given their friendship, he shouldn’t harm her, right?

She looked at Song Zhi in confusion. There was nothing she could do. She was the only one she was most familiar with among all the people in the room. But the old man was very mean. He sipped hot water from time to time and ignored her.

The conference room was packed with dozens of people, just like a big steamer. He even got a cup of hot water and walked around in it, not afraid of getting heatstroke.

“Starting today, our machinery factory will officially establish a research and development department, and Comrade Du Yimeng will serve as the head of the research and development department.” After Yu Hongru said this, his cold eyes swept over everyone, full of oppression.

Du Yimeng rubbed the goose bumps on her arms under the table. Why did she suddenly feel a little chilly?

At this moment, Yu Hongru was full of vigor. He was not a factory manager, but a veteran on the battlefield. Anyone who dared to oppose him would be his enemy.

“Director Yu, Du Yimeng has just been working at our machinery factory for over a month, and you’ve already promoted her to section chief. This is against regulations.” Director Qi of the second workshop was the first to stand up and object. The main reason was that Du Yimeng was promoted too quickly, just like riding a rocket, and in a short time she was promoted to a position equal to them.

Any normal person cannot accept this reality.

“Is there anyone else who objects?” Yu Hongru ignored Director Qi and looked at everyone.

Everyone: Why is Yu Hongru so easy to talk to today?

Abnormal…

Yu Lang: It looks like his dad is going to cause trouble.

“No one objects anymore?” Yu Hongru asked calmly. Even Director Qi was a little scared this time.

“Okay, from today on Qi Dajun will be the section chief of the R&D department. Welcome everyone.” As soon as Yu Hongru finished speaking, everyone was confused, especially Director Qi, the person involved.

Yu Hongru was the first to applaud, followed by Yu Lang, and then Song Zhi and Li Mingcai.

Director Huang of the fourth workshop did not hesitate and followed. He was a deputy section-level worker, and the reason he was here was because he was the director of the fourth workshop. He also wanted to become a regular employee, so he did whatever Director Yu said.

The others didn’t understand what Director Yu meant, so they just followed everyone else. For a moment, the entire conference hall was filled with thunderous applause.

Director Qi: What’s going on?

“Chief Qi, let’s make a deal first. You have to submit a report every month. I remember you said that our machinery factory doesn’t keep idle people.” Yu Hongru even changed the title of Director Qi. He had already planned it out. Whoever objects will get the position of Chief of the Research Department, and he will also be given all the R&D tasks in the factory in the future.

And you can’t slack off. You have to submit a report every month. If you can’t do it, you will be kicked out.

As soon as Yu Hongru said this, everyone looked at Director Qi with a gloating expression.

Logistics Director Chen Zhihua looked at Du Yimeng in surprise. Being a smart guy, he immediately guessed that Director Yu was setting a trap.

Moreover, it was a blatant trap for Du Yimeng. It seemed that he had to re-evaluate Du Yimeng’s position in the factory director’s mind.

“Old Song, haven’t you always wanted to not be the section chief of the technical department? Then I will appoint you as the director of the second workshop.” Yu Hongru said to Song Zhi, ignoring the completely confused Director Qi.

“Director Yu, I think the position of Section Chief of the R&D department must belong to Comrade Du Yimeng. Since she joined our machinery factory, she has made great contributions to the factory. First, she improved the machine tools, and then designed the plastic fan to create benefits for our factory. The Oriental Dream No. 1 is also her credit. Any of these, she is the biggest contributor to our machinery factory, and we should reward and promote such comrades.” Director Qi, who had finally recovered from his shock, jumped up immediately when he saw Song Zhi was about to nod.

You have to jump!

If he doesn’t step out, he will lose his position as director. As for face, what is that?

What R&D department chief?

Bullshit…

Just a bare commander…

He is also required to submit a report every month. What is it?

He only knows how to swing a sledgehammer, so do you want him to study hammers?

He was not targeting Du Yimeng, he was just making a small suggestion according to the regulations. If Director Yu did not adopt it, he could just ignore it.

“This is not good…” Yu Hongru hesitated with an embarrassed look on his face.

“Director Yu, Du Yimeng is a good comrade and there is nothing wrong with him.” Director Qi nodded sincerely while speaking.

“Does anyone have any other opinions?” Yu Hongru swept his cold gaze over everyone again.

Everyone shook their heads in unison. They had realized that Director Yu was determined to let Du Yimeng take the position of Section Chief of the R&D Department.

Anyone who dares to object will be fired.

“Okay, even though Du Yimeng is a little inexperienced, since everyone has unanimously nominated Du Yimeng as the section chief of the R&D department, then it’s settled.” Yu Hongru seemed to be helpless on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Everyone: So cheap…

Director Qi breathed a sigh of relief. He really wanted to ask, could people be more sincere and less formulaic with each other?

Thunderous applause rang out in the conference hall again, and this time it was not forced but genuine.

Before, they thought it was a section chief position, but now they just thought it was a hot potato. They had better throw it away quickly, lest Director Yu gets upset again and throws it on their heads.

If you think about it carefully, the position of the head of the R&D department must be Du Yimeng, mainly because he is good at research and they know nothing!

“Chief Du, can you say a few words?” Song Zhi said to Du Yimeng with a smile. He didn’t expect that after such a short period of time, they were already on equal terms. It was clear that he was her leader just a moment ago.

“Captain Du, say a few words…” Everyone started to make a fuss. Since it was already like this, why not get along as long as they could?

“Thank you Director Yu for your keen eye for talent. I will also work hard to not let Director Yu down, nor let everyone down. Thank you!” Du Yimeng said sincerely. When he looked at Yu Hongru, his eyes were full of undisguised gratitude.

If she didn’t look a bit like Du Weihai, she would have suspected that she was Director Yu’s biological daughter who was left behind because he was too good to her.

His bold move just now really shocked her. This kind of selfless, desperate, and irresponsible help for her, regardless of the life and death of others, made her feel warm in her heart.

Everyone: They always feel that she is playing tricks on them and they are blind…

Du Yimeng: It’s good to know. Her last words were just a side note, just to give them a way out. We will all work together in the future, and she doesn’t want to make things too awkward with everyone.

Even with Yu Hongru as her backer, she couldn’t handle the overwhelming force of numbers. Any troublemaker who came to cause her some trouble would affect her work.

Isn’t it fun to do research? Why fight in the workplace?
