Chapter 511
Protection
"Wait a minute, I remember my wife and your wife used to be in the same performing arts troupe. They had a pretty good relationship. If your wife has time, have her come over often and chat with your sister-in-law."
Qin Yunzhou paused, but said without changing his expression, "Commander, my wife is quite busy lately, so it might be a while before she can come back."
Division Commander Zhou's attitude was noticeably less cold than before.
"It's alright, your wife is the factory manager now, it's normal for her to be busy."
"Let's see when she's free. If she's free, she can come over for a visit. If she's not free, then forget it."
Qin Yunzhou nodded, then turned and left.
After everyone left.
Commander Zhou looked in the direction Qin Yunzhou had left, and then he remembered how Commander Hong had repeatedly praised Qin Yunzhou's wife, Xu Sui, in public recently.
And the last time Xie Yinfang put pressure on the military, but the matter was ultimately dropped.
Chief Gu is indeed impressive, but he is based in Beijing, not at his headquarters.
In this place, the person who can make direct decisions is ultimately Chief Hong.
Before long, the news reached the leader's office.
When Chief Hong, who was working in the office, heard about this, he was stunned for a moment. After realizing what had happened, he couldn't help but laugh and applauded in front of everyone.
"Haha, that kid's wife is indeed quite good."
"Look at how well she handled this. She's really made our unit proud. Other units don't have such capable military wives who even managed to make money off foreigners."
"He has also provided so many jobs for the families of other soldiers in our unit. He is indeed a good comrade. I must meet him when I have the chance."
When Commander Zhou, who had come to report on his work, saw this situation, his feelings became even more complicated.
Xu Sui... it's Xu Sui again.
This wasn't the first time he'd heard that name from Chief Hong.
Especially when he saw some of his leaders and comrades-in-arms also starting to praise Xu Sui in line with their leader's words.
Commander Zhou knew perfectly well that Qin Yunzhou's wife, Xu Sui, had truly caught Commander Hong's eye and gained his protection through her own abilities and skills.
That afternoon.
The news of the machine factory and textile factory recruiting workers caused an uproar throughout the entire residential compound.
In particular, when most of the military spouses saw the textile factory, one of them jumped up excitedly on the spot.
Although the wages in the machine factory are higher, some of the jobs are all physical labor, which is not something that most women can do. Even if they can persevere, it is very tiring and difficult.
Textile factories are different; the wages are only a few dollars lower, but the work is much easier and more suitable for women.
So everyone eagerly signed up, especially those from the textile factory. Almost everyone wanted to work there, even though it was a newly opened factory with nothing there.
But since the factory manager's name on the announcement was Xu Sui, those two words meant reliable and safe to them.
Now, not only adults know Xu Sui's name, but even the children still living in the family compound know that their compound has produced a particularly capable factory director named Xu.
What Yan Yan experiences most every day at school is being surrounded by other children asking if his mother is the legendary Factory Director Xu.
If he doesn't answer, those people will keep asking, and it won't just be one person asking, it will be countless people asking him.
After many attempts, he finally spoke.
Whenever someone asks, he nods and says "uh-huh".
When other children praise his mother, he will respond with a couple of "uh-huhs".
……
Now that the old lady is helping out at home, Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou are under less pressure.
The old lady's cooking skills were top-notch; both children loved her food, and he had raised them both. They were well-behaved and obedient in front of her.
Therefore, Xu Sui and her husband only need to leave work early every day to come home and spend time with their child.
If arranged properly, this will not affect their work or prevent them from spending time with their children.
That day, Xu Sui took Wang Yinhua and Xiao Fen to the newly built textile factory.
Standing at the factory gate.
Xu Sui pointed to the gate, "That's our cotton mill."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Wang Yinhua and Xiao Fen stared blankly at the large characters "Lanshan County Cotton Mill" written above the gate.
"Sui Sui, have we... gone to the wrong place?" Xiao Fen couldn't help but ask.
This place is too small; it's not even half the size of the textile factory in their hometown.
There are still many weeds around the factory. If you didn't know better, you would think it was some desolate wilderness. Although it is in the county, it is already on the very edge of the county.
They hadn't seen a single person on their way here.
Although the machinery factory where Xu Sui works is still a bit small, it has already started to expand and now looks incredibly impressive.
Moreover, I heard that the staff building is under construction, and apartments will be allocated once it is completed.
Many people are scrambling to get housing in the machinery factory.
Wang Yinhua also felt that this place was too remote and desolate.
But this is a factory built by her own daughter. If she, as the mother, doesn't support it, who else will?
Wang Yinhua: "What's the big deal? We are the first batch of employees in the factory. The factory is just starting out, so it's normal to have difficulties. We have to overcome them to have hope of success."
"When the factory gets better in the future, we will be the senior employees. We will definitely be the first to be considered for housing allocation and promotion."
She patted Xiao Fen on the shoulder, sighed, and pretended to be disappointed.
"Xiao Fen, your awareness is not good. You all wanted to come here in the first place. No one forced you."
"Of course, if you're scared, you should take your child and go back to your hometown to rest while you're still on the job and your household registration hasn't been transferred."
"Anyway, I'm not planning to leave. I'm going to work hard here and do my job well." Wang Yinhua stood firmly beside her daughter.
Xiao Fen stubbornly defended herself.
"...Auntie, don't talk nonsense."
"I didn't quite understand at first, but now I do, and I understand everything you're saying."
