Chapter 360 Bai Ying is simply a lucky star!
When the group arrived at the cotton spinning workshop, the sound of machines operating filled the workshop.
Female workers wearing white round hats and blue work clothes are standing in front of their respective workstations, some standing on tiptoe to change spindles, some jogging around to connect wires, their sweat leaving dark salt stains on the backs of their work clothes... The work is tiring, but they are in high spirits.
When some people saw them, they just looked up and smiled for a moment, then lowered their heads to do their work again.
After seeing this scene, everyone deliberately reduced their presence and did not disturb the female workers at work. The roar of the machines was very loud. After reducing their presence, there were indeed many female workers who were working diligently in the distance and they never noticed that they had come in to visit.
In the bobbin winding group, Bai Ying didn't notice the group of people who had come in to visit, deliberately keeping a low profile. She was quietly teaching a new female worker how to operate the bobbin winding machine, and guiding her step by step on the tips for adjusting the precision. "Look, if we do this..."
Bai Ying lowered her eyebrows, her serious expression revealing a hint of gentleness and encouragement: "Do you know how to do it? Try it. Don't be afraid. Everyone has their first time."
"Comrade Bai Ying—" the technical director stepped forward and called her.
Bai Ying turned her head in confusion and saw the technical director and the Hong Kong and Macao visiting group behind him. She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
The factory had announced at noon that a Hong Kong businessman would be visiting that afternoon, and she held onto a glimmer of hope that she could meet Ms. Fu and successfully clear the taint of her "report." However, her position wasn't yet at the level where she could welcome a Hong Kong businessman, so she could only comfort herself with the thought that a visit might come later, and she could then improvise.
It wasn't that she didn't want to prepare ahead of time, choosing to "leave it to fate." It was simply that the factory's notification had already passed mid-lunch break, leaving her without the time or opportunity to prepare for "whitewashing." She had no right to inquire about or modify the tour group's roster or the time and itinerary.
She has already been tainted by some stains because of the "report", so it is not easy to inquire from other sources. Of course, inquiring is useless. In this case, she can only take one step at a time.
Fortunately, she guessed right.
Miss Fu is indeed in the visiting group!
Bai Ying whispered something to the female worker she had just taught, then walked over with a smile and greeted, "Manager Qin."
The technical director subtly reminded Bai Ying, "Bai Ying, behind me are our compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau who are visiting our factory. You still remember Miss Fu, right?"
Bai Ying smiled at Manager Qin, grateful for his kindness, and turned to walk towards the visiting group: "Ms. Fu, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. My name is Bai Ying."
"Comrade Bai Ying works very diligently and patiently. She must have taught many workers how to use the machines. She is truly worthy of being a comrade worker of our motherland. She is truly admirable."
"She's the youngest team leader. I think Comrade Bai Ying's work attitude and ability are truly worthy of the title."
"Comrade Bai Ying was just sharing her experience in improving efficiency, wasn't she? No wonder Selene admires it. If I had someone like Comrade Bai Ying in my factory, I think efficiency would be much higher."
"As expected of the workers of our motherland, the saying that men and women are equal and women hold up half the sky is indeed true."
Fu Ziyan actually didn't say anything, she just expressed her admiration, and the second generation who followed her followed her wishes and praised Bai Ying one after another.
Fu Ziyan smiled gracefully and said, "Seeing Comrade Bai Ying's working state, I feel that my donation of the automatic winder that year was indeed a good decision. As expected, excellent people using good machines can achieve greater than double the effect. I think Comrade Bai Ying must have trained several comrades who can use automatic winders for the motherland."
At this point, Fu Ziyan turned around and chuckled, this time looking at the young leader sent by the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office to accompany the tour. "Comrade Hu, Comrade Qin, such excellent talents should be cherished and vigorously cultivated. I still remember Comrade Bai Ying's demeanor that year. I hope that Comrade Bai Ying can still surpass others in her skills at the next international textile exchange conference."
Comrade Hu smiled and said, "Miss Fu is right. Our country has always insisted on selecting and cultivating talents, and Textile Factory No. 1 does the same."
The technical director smiled and nodded. "Of course. Our factory places great emphasis on talent development and is happy to give talented individuals the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities. Comrade Bai Ying is an outstanding young worker carefully trained by our factory."
Bai Ying spoke with gratitude, "Thanks to the training from the textile factory, I have the skills I have today. But these skills are not enough. I will continue to work hard to repay my country and the training from the factory."
The technical director nodded and was about to offer some words of encouragement when Lu Yan suddenly spoke.
"I'm interested in investing in a textile factory in the south. Seeing Comrade Bai Ying's work ethic and ability today, I'm truly envious. I wonder if Comrade Bai Ying would be willing to work in the south. I'll bring in the latest textile technology and equipment from Hong Kong and even internationally, so you can learn a thing or two and not let your talent go to waste."
The technical director was panicked: What’s going on? Are Hong Kong businessmen trying to poach their factory’s best talent?!
The second generation who came with him also looked at Lu Yan in surprise.
The Lu family's business had nothing to do with the textile industry, so it was understandable that Lu Yan wanted to invest in the textile industry in the mainland, but why did he start by poaching from a large state-owned factory? This was really too bold!
Huo Jinran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then he suddenly understood why Lu Yan spoke. He glanced at Fu Ziyan and sighed in his heart: They grew up together, and he was amazed by their reaction speed and tacit understanding. If Selene had not broken up with Lu Yan, his chances would have been greatly reduced again.
Fortunately, fortunately, Lu Yan did something wrong in a moment of impulse, causing Selene to break up!
He still has a chance.
Sure enough, Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "Lu Xiaoyan, what's wrong with you? I saw this good seedling first, but I haven't even made a move yet, and you got there first?"
Fu Ziyan looked at Bai Ying again and offered her an especially sincere invitation: "Comrade Bai Ying, if you're willing to leave Capital Textile Factory No. 1, you might also consider me. I'm a shareholder of the internationally renowned brand Zephyr. The current head of Yu's, the organizer of your last exchange meeting in Hong Kong, is my cousin. I have access to newer and more comprehensive machinery than Lu Yan."
The two of them sang the same tune and turned Bai Ying, who was originally involved in the "reporting" storm and had no chance of being promoted to deputy director of the workshop, into a popular commodity that Hong Kong businessmen were vying for.
Bai Ying hadn't expected this, but she knew it was a great opportunity to show her loyalty and get extra points for a promotion. She firmly declined, "I'm sorry, Miss Fu, Mr. Lu. I was born and raised here. The textile factory has nurtured me step by step. I won't leave. I'll have to let you two down."
The technical director breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Ms. Fu, Mr. Lu, Comrade Bai Ying can also learn advanced technology in our factory. We have been sparing no effort to train her. We always give young people opportunities. Bai Ying is now the youngest team leader in the factory. Who knows, the next time you come to the capital, Bai Ying may be the youngest deputy workshop director."
Bai Ying's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she had passed the reporting stage. She said with gratitude, "Thank you to the organization and factory leaders for your cultivation and support."
"Really?" Fu Ziyan raised her eyebrows in curiosity. "Comrade Bai Ying is only in his twenties now, and he's already the deputy director of the textile factory's workshop? The First Textile Factory is indeed a major factory in the capital. Their unconventional approach to recruiting talent is truly admirable."
You know, large state-owned factories are within the system!
Fu Ziyan paused and smiled. "In that case, let me add another bonus. Congratulations to Comrade Bai Ying for becoming the youngest deputy director of a workshop. I wonder what other machines your factory needs? I'd like to donate one of the latest models as a thank you to the factory leaders for delaying production and taking the time to entertain me and satisfy my curiosity."
Lu Yan followed suit and said, "Since we can't poach him, I'll donate a machine that the factory needs. I also hope that Comrade Bai Ying will become an even better talent and contribute to the country."
Factory leader:!!!
Joy falls from heaven!
What's the point of being afraid of the risks of having close contact with Hong Kong businessmen? No, no, no, Bai Ying is simply a lucky star!
Introducing new machines free of charge is a political achievement!
