Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 936 The Journey to the West!

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's question, Jia Dongming's face showed an approving expression. He smiled and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! You guessed right. Li Huaide did indeed need my help, which is why he took the initiative to offer you the position of director of the Women's Federation."

"Brother Dongming! What exactly happened?" Lin Qiuyue looked surprised upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer and asked him curiously.

"Uncle! Did Director Li's promotion of my mother have anything to do with your transfer from the security department?" Upon hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Bang Geng thought of Jia Dongming's impending transfer from the steel rolling mill. An idea immediately popped into his head, and he quickly asked Jia Dongming in a tentative tone.

Faced with Lin Qiuyue's question, Jia Dongming subconsciously wanted to tell everyone the truth. However, before he could answer everyone's questions, Bang Geng's question made his eyes light up. He smiled and praised, "Bang Geng! The fact that you can think of this shows that you have learned to use your brain to think about things. Just like you said, the reason why Li Huaide promoted your mother is because I was going to be transferred from the steel rolling mill."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's answer, Lin Qiuyue realized that Qin Huairu's promotion was indeed related to Jia Dongming's transfer. Her initial surprise turned into confusion, and she immediately asked Jia Dongming curiously, "Brother Dongming! Your security department is just a department in the steel rolling mill, while Li Huaide is the head of the steel rolling mill. You're already being transferred away from the steel rolling mill, so why would he promote Huairu to win you over?"

When Jia Dongming heard Lin Qiuyue's question and saw her puzzled expression, he smiled and said to her, "Qiuyue! Although our security department is one of the departments of the steel rolling mill, the steel rolling mill has no right to manage our security department."

“At Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, our security department has the most power, and we even have the power to supervise the leaders of the steel rolling mill. In the past, I had a cooperative relationship with Li Huaide, so he naturally didn’t have to worry about our security department being detrimental to him.”

"After I leave the steel rolling mill, the Municipal Bureau will send a deputy director to the Security Department to take charge of the work. Whether this new deputy director will give Li Huaide face is an unknown."

“Before, because of me, the higher-ups did not appoint any deputy directors to the Security Department. Now that I have been transferred, the higher-ups are planning to promote two more deputy directors from outside the Security Department. Everyone in the Security Department is my subordinate. Li Huaide wants to use my connections to get the deputy directors I promoted to form an alliance with him, which is why he suggested that Huai Ru be appointed as the director of the Women’s Federation.”

After hearing Jia Dongming's explanation, Lin Qiuyue finally understood the intricacies behind Qin Huairu's promotion. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Dongming! I never imagined that such a simple promotion would involve so many twists and turns. Luckily, I didn't become an official, otherwise I would have been sold out and would probably have been foolishly helping the seller count the money."

After learning the truth about Li Huaide's promotion, Qin Huairu was not as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she felt somewhat worried and said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Although I am now the deputy director of the logistics warehouse, this position is just a nominal one. Now that Director Li wants me to be the director of the Women's Federation, I am worried that I will not be able to handle this position."

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words and learning of her concerns, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Huairu! No one in this world is born a leader. Leadership ability is not innate but can be acquired through training and practice. You only need to possess some key qualities and abilities, such as decision-making, communication, teamwork, and emotional management, to easily manage your subordinates."

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, Qin Huairu showed a look of understanding but not quite, and said to Jia Dongming, "Brother Dongming! Then you'll have to teach me properly in the future, so I don't end up being taken advantage of because I don't understand anything." Jia Dongming smiled and nodded upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu! Don't worry too much. The work of the Women's Federation is to protect women's rights. The nature of the work is very simple. As long as you're not stupid, you can easily handle this job."

"Also, after you are officially appointed, you can take some things to Director Liu's house and sit down to ask her for advice on the work of the Women's Federation. This way, you won't have to worry about being put in a passive position because you are not familiar with the work of the Women's Federation."

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Dongming suggest that she seek advice from Director Liu, her eyes lit up and she replied with a sigh of relief, "Brother Dongming! I've met Director Liu many times. Once the factory officially appoints me as the director of the Women's Federation, I will definitely visit her home to learn from her as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's words, Jia Dongming reached for his wine glass, took a small sip, and said with a smile, "Alright! Let's not talk about work anymore, everyone, let's eat!"

Upon hearing Jia Dongming's words, the Jia family members all picked up their chopsticks and happily began to eat.

Time flies, and more than a week has passed in the blink of an eye. Around eight o'clock in the morning, the phone in the logistics warehouse office suddenly rang. A young girl heard the phone ring, quickly walked to the desk where the phone was placed, picked up the receiver, and politely asked, "Hello! This is the logistics warehouse office. Who are you looking for?"

"Hello! This is the factory office. Is Comrade Qin Huairu here? Could you please let her answer the phone?" The young girl's question had barely finished when a middle-aged man's voice came through the phone.

"Sister Qin is in her office, please wait a moment, I'll call her over to answer the phone right away." After hearing the explanation, the girl immediately replied before calling out to Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin! The factory office is calling for you!"

Hearing the girl's voice, Qin Huairu realized it was a call for her. She put down the half-finished sweater she was knitting, quickly walked to her desk, took the receiver from the girl, and politely greeted her, "Hello! This is Qin Huairu. May I ask who this is?"

Upon hearing Qin Huairu's inquiry over the phone, the middle-aged man immediately smiled and introduced himself to her: "Hello, Director Qin! I'm Xiao Weizhong from the factory office. Factory Director Li wants to speak with you and asks you to come to his office now."

Upon hearing Xiao Weizhong's explanation and learning that Li Huaide wanted to see her, Qin Huairu immediately recalled what Jia Dongming had told her and politely replied, "Director Xiao! You mean Factory Director Li wants to talk to me? Then I'll go to Factory Director Li's office now."
