She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

"Damn it, has Old Song gone mad lately? He's been harassing me every day." Deputy Factory Director Tian said angrily as he threw his work clothes on a chair after returning from a meeting.

"He's just a factory director. I'm still the deputy director. If I hadn't been willing to let him have it back then, he wouldn't be the director now. Now that he's in a stable position, he wants to get rid of him. Ha~ He can forget about it."

Deputy Factory Director Tian threw a tantrum in his office. The head of the purchasing department was dejected. He had been criticized by Jiang Wenhua last time, and this time the factory director had publicly criticized him for not being attentive enough to the factory at the meeting.

If he still can't come up with a way to reduce material costs, he might as well quit being a section chief and be transferred to logistics.

The purchasing manager said dejectedly, "Director Tian, ​​what should I do? If... if I continue to buy goods at the current price, they won't let me off the hook."

Jiang Wenhua poured them both a glass of water. During this time, he had successfully integrated into Deputy Factory Director Tian's clique and, thanks to his excellent eloquence, he was quite influential within the group.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenhua asked in confusion, "Then why not lower the price?"

The purchasing manager glanced at Deputy Factory Director Tian, ​​and only after receiving his permission did he say, "Our wages are already low. If we lose these discounts, how will we support our families and our sons?"

Jiang Wenhua blinked. "Kickbacks? Kickbacks are not allowed. You really don't want to keep your position?"

The purchasing manager was bitter. "We're already being suppressed by Director Song. We don't even get much in terms of bonuses or other benefits. If we lose the kickbacks, how are we going to explain this to our families?"

Deputy Factory Director Tian is a good person. He didn't want our kickbacks; he gave them all to the staff. If it weren't for him, how could we be living such a good life?

Jiang Wenhua pondered for a moment, then glanced at Deputy Factory Director Tian discreetly, and suddenly realized that this man... was too cunning.

His refusal of these kickbacks is entirely advantageous. Firstly, his subordinates will feel they have a good leader and will be even more loyal to him; secondly, if kickbacks are ever discovered later, he can clear himself of any wrongdoing.

Those who managed to become factory directors, even if they seemed to be no match for him and Lao Xia before, were incredibly cunning and shrewd, to the point of being omnipresent.

Jiang Wenhua originally didn't want to get involved in this matter; he just wanted to watch the show. But he noticed that Deputy Factory Director Tian was staring at him, as if he wanted him to speak.

Jiang Wenhua's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood what he meant. This was because Deputy Factory Director Tian couldn't appease his subordinates on his own and wanted Jiang Wenhua's help to resolve the issue.

If his ideas are useful, his small group will be safe and sound; if his ideas are bad, he will push himself out to take the blame.

How could that old man be so cunning and calculating? He never takes any responsibility, always gets the blame, and all the benefits are his.

Jiang Wenhua was jealous. This was the advantage of being the deputy factory director. With just a few words and a glance, he could make a group of people follow him blindly. He only needed to put on a good show to make these people grateful to him.

Looking at the room full of people, Jiang Wenhua felt disdain. A bunch of idiots; no wonder they were being sold out by this Deputy Factory Director Tian and were still helping him count the money. Even if these fools got together, they couldn't come up with a single good idea.

Since he was being asked for advice... he might as well screw them over. In a short time, Jiang Wenhua came up with a plan that would be extremely disadvantageous to them. "Director Tian, ​​how about I make a suggestion?"

Deputy Factory Director Tian was surprised that this kid actually had an idea. "Tell me about it."

Jiang Wenhua confidently stated, "Our factory has a bonus plan for each department. The bonus is high if the target is met, and low if it isn't. So why not just listen to Factory Director Song and lower the purchase price?"

Deputy Factory Director Tian sneered and remained silent, but the Purchasing Section Chief spoke up, "Xiao Jiang, if you do this, you're just working for Factory Director Song. He'll be the one who gets praised, and we'll be suppressed even more."

Jiang Wenhua took a piece of paper directly from Deputy Factory Director Tian's desk and started writing by hand, "You all know I'm the best at accounting, let me calculate it for you."

Factory Director Tian's bonus is related to the factory's performance. When our purchase price goes down, the profit goes up, and Factory Director Tian gets a larger share. That's one reason.

The purchasing department hasn't received any bonuses in all these years. If we do a good job this time, we can give a good beating to those who mocked you at today's meeting, and we can also apply for more budget when the production plan is allocated next time. That's the second point.

"If we do our job well, even if Director Song tries to suppress us or is unhappy, the workers have sharp eyes. Everyone can see who is doing real work and who is just trying to take advantage of the situation. Then, even if he wants to cut our bonuses, he'll have to think twice. This is a small countermeasure against him, that's the third point."

Jiang Wenhua stated three benefits in a stern voice, and then wrote down on a piece of paper the calculations he had made: how much more money Deputy Factory Director Tian would receive, how much budget their purchasing department could apply for, and how much bonus each person in the purchasing department would receive.

Everyone was tempted. Thinking about it this way, it seemed like a win-win situation. It should be done, it had to be done!

The purchasing section chief stammered, "Director Tian, ​​what do you think?"

When Deputy Factory Director Tian saw his share of the profits on the paper, he shamelessly felt tempted. Although this matter also benefited that scoundrel Old Song, everyone on his side, from top to bottom, would receive even more.

The thought that Lao Song might be unable to suppress his emotions later made Deputy Factory Director Tian feel relaxed even before he had started.

"Xiao Jiang, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You've got some skills, kid." Deputy Factory Director Tian laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Jiang Wenhua said modestly, "It's all thanks to Director Tian's guidance; otherwise, how could I have come up with so many ideas?"

While Jiang Wenhua was making a name for himself by offering advice, Old Lady Xia was facing difficulties.

She was reported by someone who couldn't think straight!

It's outrageous! That woman asked the women's directors of her factory for help, saying that her husband had become successful because of her family, and yet he beat her.

Once they learned about the situation, they made a big fuss about it, and the man said directly that if they could make it work, they could, and if not, they would get a divorce.

Then this woman cried and begged not to get a divorce. When the man remained unmoved, she went back to her parents' home to ask for help.

Her father, in the next city, was a leader in a factory, and he knew their factory director, Mr. Song.

It is said that he made a direct phone call to Lao Song, asking him to deal with the matter that Xia Laotai had interfered in, and also felt that Xia Laotai's extreme personality meant she shouldn't be in that position.

Who goes into someone's home to advise them to get a divorce?!
