Chapter 145 Dealing with Zhang Qiang
Ji Sisi smiled and introduced herself politely, "Yes, I am Ji Sisi. Hello, Captain Wu."

"Comrade Ji, we're all roughnecks here, and we're not as good at sweet talk as the other teams. Since Director Yan said you want a cow, I'll take you to catch one first."

Ji Sisi glanced at Captain Ma, surprised by Captain Wu's directness.

"The people didn't say they were here to catch the cattle, they just came to take a look first, Lao Wu, why are you in such a hurry?"

Captain Wu's face was grim. "This year's losses are so heavy. You guys have enough food to survive, but we don't have much. We need to take remedial measures, can't we?"

"The cattle matter isn't urgent. Captain Wu, you can go ahead and take care of your business. Captain Ma and I just came to take a look around."

"Alright." Captain Wu was a man of few words and ruthless actions; he bypassed the two men and left.

Captain Ma watched the man leave angrily. "How can this big brute have no sense at all? You're a cadre now, and this is something Director Yan assigned you."

"This matter is still far from being settled, and besides, I prefer to stay in the countryside and keep busy rather than be the office director."

Captain Ma was speechless. "You're just stupid. Isn't it easy to sit in an office and have a secure job?"

“Every family has its own problems, let’s not talk about that. Let’s go see if there’s a suitable place.”

If we can get the support of County Chief Wei, the factory construction will be settled. We won't need many people in the early stages, but they will all be skilled workers.

Ji Sisi and Captain Ma took a quick look around and chose a spacious spot that was close to the main road, making it convenient for transportation.

Besides these things, another important thing is the slaughterhouse.

We can't keep taking all the cows so far to slaughter them, then bringing them back – it's too troublesome and complicated.

Ji Sisi wanted to discuss it with Song Ye.

Captain Ma had other things to do, so he went back to the team when he passed by the sixth team. Ji Sisi remembered that she had been to the slaughterhouse before.

When they arrived at the slaughterhouse entrance, Ji Sisi stopped again, unable to help but worry.

I had heard from my elders that pregnant women should avoid going to places with bloodshed or funerals.

Ji Sisi is not a superstitious person, but she still hesitated at this moment.

"Hey, aren't you the woman who came to see Section Chief Song last time?"

The man who had spoken with Ji Sisi last time recognized her. "You're here to see Section Chief Song again, right? He hasn't arrived yet."

"It's me. If he's not here, I'll head back now. Could you please pass on a message to him that I need to discuss some business matters with him?"

When the topic of business came up, the man assumed it was a big deal and agreed without hesitation.

"Don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message."

After a busy morning, Ji Sisi returned to the sixth team exhausted. She sat on the only rattan chair in the office, looking up at the roof. The tiles were not laid evenly, and there were many gaps in the ceiling.

"Ji Sisi?"

Zhang Qiang was panting and covered in sweat. "Director Yan said you need to accompany him to the county tomorrow, and he wants you to go to the commune early."

He was so tired he could barely breathe. When he entered the room and saw Ji Sisi sitting comfortably in the cool air, he felt a pang of disappointment.

Ji Sisi looked up at him and said, "I understand."

Zhang Qiang was furious, but the thought that Ji Sisi would be his direct superior in the future made him even more resentful.

Seeing that Zhang Qiang was lingering, Li Yanhong sensed that something was wrong. She had noticed last time that Zhang Qiang didn't like Ji Sisi.

With Captain Ma and Director Yan both absent this time, are they going to start arguing?

Li Yanhong secretly glanced at Zhang Qiang, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"Ji Sisi, I'm not convinced! How can a woman who's only been in the company for less than a year become the director? I've been in the company for so long. Do you have an improper relationship with Director Yan?" Ji Sisi almost slid off her chair when she heard this.

"Is this the only filthy thought in your head?" Ji Sisi sat up straight again. "If you're not convinced, either keep it to yourself or go ask Director Yan. You've asked the wrong person."

“Brother Zhang, how could you think of someone like that? We’ve all seen the contributions Sisi has made these past few days.”

Li Yanhong stood up, glaring at him unhappily, and said, "If you're not good enough, don't blame the road for being uneven. Do you remember what you said when my uncle asked you to help our team more?"

Zhang Qiang frowned, his eyes darting away.

"Yan Hong, we're family, why are you siding with outsiders too?"

Li Yanhong sneered, her words mocking Zhang Qiang.

"Now you know we're family, I'm just being reasonable, not kinship-based."

You've deliberately come here to cause trouble today. If I ever get the chance to see Director Yan again, I'll definitely report you to him.

Although Zhang Qiang knew that his team members favored Ji Sisi, he didn't expect that the favoritism would reach the point of turning against their own family.

“I didn’t do anything to harm her, so reporting me won’t do any good. I’m just upset that people like us who work hard in our jobs are being pushed out by people like this.”

Ji Sisi yawned, her tone nonchalant, showing no sign of anger or embarrassment at Zhang Qiang's words.

"Everyone around you is getting promoted, but you're the only one standing still. You say I have an improper relationship with Director Yan, but does that mean Sister Xiaolan does too?"

Ji Sisi's calmness contrasted sharply with Zhang Qiang's.

"Zhang Qiang, you might not have a mirror, but you must have to pee, right? Take a piss and look at yourself properly."

Ji Sisi sighed; she was now immune to everything Zhang Qiang said.

“I will relay these words to Director Yan verbatim. Remember, you made a foolish mistake by blurting out what was on your mind.”

"I don't care what you think of me. If I can't hear it, I won't bother arguing with you. But if you say it out loud, I won't let this go easily."

In order to have a good working environment in the future.

Ji Sisi is determined to solve the problem at its root, and Zhang Qiang's thinking is clearly incorrect now.

As she rises higher and higher in the future, Zhang Qiang will definitely be the only one who is envious. While she still has time to clean up the mess, we should not leave any future troubles.

Zhang Qiang began to regret it; he really hadn't been able to resist.

What are we going to do now? Director Yan cares most about conduct. If he finds out what I said, he definitely won't let me off easily.

If we marginalize him, his life will truly be over.

"I, I, that's not what I meant. It's too hot. I got heatstroke on my way here, so my mind is all muddled."

Ji Sisi understood his attempt to make amends, but ignored him.

"It's too late to explain now. I've already taken your words to heart. You probably don't know me. I'm very petty, like the eye of a needle."

After Ji Sisi finished speaking, she looked at Li Yanhong and said, "Yanhong can testify for me."

"If someone said something like that, I would be petty and definitely wouldn't let it go."

The two of them were playing along, and Zhang Qiang knew he was in the wrong. There was no point in staying any longer, since he had already said what he wanted to say.

Now that he has taken the initiative to apologize to Director Yan, Director Yan might think that his attitude in apologizing was good, and if he shed a few tears, Director Yan wouldn't be too harsh on him.

After all, a man's tears are far more precious than a woman's.

After Zhang Qiang left, Ji Sisi asked Li Yanhong, "Yanhong, besides our team, which team has the worst conditions?"
