After sending off Old Wu, Zhang Wei looked at Yao Ying, "Wife, what do you think about this?"
Yao Ying was equally unsure of what to do, as the news they had just received was completely unexpected.
Zhang Yu didn’t know how to comnt, "I feel like we’re just guessing blindly, we have no idea if any of this is true or false."
"Since we don’t know, we shouldn’t overthink it. Dad’s going for surgery tomorrow morning; once he cos out of the operating room, I’ll go and find out a bit more." No need to think so much, just go out and ask around. As long as we get so information, that will do.
The couple exchanged a glance and nodded at each other, "I feel the sa way."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Zhang Wei looked a bit worried.
Yao Ying also had a worried expression, considering that their daughter had never been so far out to the countryside to gather information.
"Don’t worry, your daughter here has been to the farm; what scenes haven’t I seen?"
"It’s a relief." The only downside is having to travel such a distance, which made Zhang Yu feel a bit annoyed, but otherwise, there was really no issue.
Seeing that their daughter said so, Zhang Wei and Yao Ying exchanged another glance, "Alright, but make sure to stay safe once you’re there." Yao Ying felt uneasy, "How about letting your brother go with you tomorrow?"
The presence of two people would provide mutual support, making Yao Ying feel at ease. Since Zhang Jie had taken leave tomorrow, going out to find out so information wouldn’t attract much attention.
Bringing Zhang Jie along to gather information? Zhang Yu really wanted to say, does everyone think it’s that easy to gather news? "Mom, I can handle it all by myself."
"It’s 20 li from the city; coming and going is 40 li. Do you really think Zhang Jie can handle it with his stamina?" Sorry, Zhang Yu apologized to Zhang Jie in her heart.
It’s not about underestimating soone, but due to soone’s lack of stamina, bringing him along would indeed be a burden.
Zhang Wei and Yao Ying, recalling Zhang Jie’s stamina, didn’t insist further and advised Zhang Yu to be careful.
"Dad, if what Uncle Wu said is true and they are indeed relatives, what will you do?" Zhang Yu really wanted to know Zhang Wei’s thoughts.
"If that’s the case, I really don’t know." Zhang Wei couldn’t say he hadn’t thought much about it, "But I won’t support Plant Director Liao taking over."
"That guy is useless; if not for riding the wave of this movent, it’s impossible for him to beco even an office staff, let alone a deputy director."
"He only knows how to follow orders from above without understanding the company’s situation at all." Zhang Wei thought more and more that, regardless of everything else, Deputy Director Liao must be prevented from becoming the director, "Otherwise, no one will benefit."
Sigh, Zhang Wei sighed at how Zheng Ke, for his nephew to beco director, would go to such lengths. It was truly baffling, "How do you think Old Wu knows so much?
"You know Old Wu keeps an eye on these things." Yao Ying replied irritatedly, "But Old Wu’s words..."
"Enough about that, I’m tired, I should focus on recovering from my illness." Zhang Wei, uncertain about who the good people are, found himself in the dark about everything and couldn’t be bothered to overthink.
Yao Ying nodded nonstop, "Yes, yes, yes, let’s not overthink. Health is the priority."
"Regardless of who takes over, you’re just a regular technician anyway." Previously, Yao Ying hoped for her husband to succeed, but after Zhang Wei’s illness, she simply wished for his good health.
Zhang Yu nodded, "Right, health is key."
"Should I still go investigate?" Zhang Yu hesitated, as Zhang Wei seed a bit negative.
Zhang Wei thought for a mont, "There’s no need."
"I’m just recuperating. Whether Old Zheng continues as section chief, or they bring in a vice chief or even a chief, it doesn’t concern anymore."
"I can live without being a section chief. I’ve never cared about those titles, but I just didn’t expect them to make so many promises to ."
"Actually, no need to promise so big title of section chief; just saying it’s needed for production, would I not do my job?"
"What if the new deputy chief makes things difficult for you?" Yao Ying worried that Uncle Zheng and his nephew might give Zhang Wei a hard ti and start making empty promises at work.
Zhang Yu nodded directly; if it were Old Wu, soone well-inford, he wouldn’t foolishly allow himself to be suppressed. But for Zhang Wei, he lacked skills in this area.
It was indeed easy for people to exert pressure, and calculating this way for the family, Zhang Yu truly didn’t think it was a good choice.
Yao Ying thought for a mont and agreed, "Hey, Old Zhang, why don’t we find another job?"
"Didn’t a research institute ask you to go before?" Yao Ying quickly rembered a new position.
What? Zhang Yu was stunned, what’s going on here? Zhang Wei could actually work at a research institute? This was indeed shocking.
Zhang Yu initially thought about whether they should change units or sothing, but didn’t expect they could go to a research institute.
After thinking, there are indeed a few research institutes, but they’re all outside the city. Zhang Yu suddenly understood why Zhang Wei never ntioned it before.
"Well, should we head to the research institute, is it relevant?" Unsure of what they wanted Zhang Wei to do there.
"It can be considered relevant; it’s for researching ships." Zhang Yu imdiately knew which research institute it was about, "Can we really transfer there?"
"And dad, if you transfer there, can we still live in the dorm?" They currently lived in chanical factory worker welfare housing; generally speaking, once you transfer from a unit, there’s a high chance they’ll take back the house.
If they take back the house, where would Zhang Jie live?
"Yeah, that’s what worried before." Earlier, Zhang Wei didn’t agree to the transfer, apart from not wanting to adjust to a new environnt, there was also concern about losing the house upon moving to the research institute.
"The research institute does provide housing, but that’s internal; if they ask you to work overti, it’s easier to get hold of soone." Not to ntion due to confidentiality principles.
Oh, I see, Zhang Yu understood, "Since they’re providing housing, dad, why not discuss with them about the situation? You could take Xiao Jie along if possible."
"Whether it’s doing finances or organizing docunts, anything would work." If the chanical factory is likely to take back the house, they might as well hurry and arrange a new job for Zhang Jie too.
"Otherwise, in your absence, if soone gives Xiao Jie the cold shoulder and ignores him, wouldn’t that be terrible?"
"And if the house is taken away, would Xiao Jie live in the dormitory?" Zhang Yu felt that since that’s the case, it’s better for Zhang Wei and his son to change jobs.
What, what, Yao Ying was dumbfounded. Previously discussing Zhang Wei changing jobs, and now, in the blink of an eye, was Zhang Jie’s job change on the table too? "This, this also doesn’t know if Xiao Jie is willing."
