In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Several middle-aged women persisted, and Director Xu also joined in the persuasion, until Luo Yu finally nodded.

"Okay, then I'll work harder and live up to the expectations of the director and the ladies."

Only a fool would turn down an opportunity to advance.

Although she was promoted a bit too quickly, that's just the current situation of the mine's women's federation. If it weren't for the fact that several of the older women were old and not very educated, she would never have gotten her turn.

To put it bluntly, she got a bargain.

Director Xu squinted and murmured, "I'll try to go to the city again the year after next to give you time to learn. Once you're proficient, I'll leave. By then, Sister Zhang will be retiring, and you'll take over as director. Sister Zhao and Sister Hu will retire at the end of the year after next. Then you can find a few more assistants."

"Sister Liu will retire the year after next, so there's plenty of time. Use these two years to train the newcomers, and have Aunt Liu help you out. Once she retires, I'll promote you if there's an opportunity in the city."

Director Xu spoke casually about the plans for the next few years, which delighted Luo Yu.

She just got promoted like that?

Doesn't that sound a bit unrealistic?

Is getting promoted really that easy?

Luo Yu didn't understand, but she respected the rules. She did whatever Director Xu asked her to do, since it wouldn't do her any harm.

Even if something goes wrong along the way, she has time to adjust her plans, as long as she successfully enters the Municipal Women's Federation within ten years.

Several middle-aged women looked at Luo Yu with loving smiles, full of expectations for her.

For these older women, the higher Luo Yu and Director Xu rise in rank, the more advantageous it is for them. With powerful backers, even after they retire, their descendants will still benefit.

They can't climb any higher, but they still have plenty of opportunities. As long as they keep moving forward, they won't lose power and will be respected wherever they go.

Luo Yu couldn't figure out what the older women were thinking for the time being. After returning home, she told Aunt Xi, who astutely understood the situation and immediately helped her analyze it.

After listening to Aunt Xi's explanation, Luo Yu finally understood why the older women were looking at her like that; it turned out they were still involved in some kind of conflict of interest.

That's true. In a short period of six months, is it possible to make someone devoted to you without any benefits?

Interpersonal relationships are based on mutual interests. The more interests involved, the better the relationship. These connections will be invaluable in the future.

Having experienced the cutthroat world of the workplace, Luo Yu quickly came to terms with it and immediately threw herself into the work of the social event.

The social gathering was originally scheduled for April, but Luo Yu was too busy at the time and couldn't spare the time. Since she was the one who brought it up, the credit was hers, and the mine couldn't bypass her, so they had to postpone it.

To ensure the success of the social event, Luo Yu put in a lot of effort, riding her bicycle all over the city's factories and mines to keep track of the single men and women, noting their personalities and family backgrounds.

We will try our best to record the true identities of all the men and women who participated in the event, so that we can make it easier to organize future social gatherings.

You found a partner this year, but what about your younger siblings? Shouldn't they be looking for partners next year too? These are resources, a reserve force, and we can't let them go to waste.

In order to be with his wife, Xi Beizhan offered to accompany Luo Yu on a visit to various factories and mines.

My explanation to Director Hao was, "My wife is a celebrity now, and what she's doing is a good thing for the country and the people. What if there are spies trying to sabotage it? What if some blind fool tries to assassinate her while she's walking at night?"

Not only did I lose my wife, but the country also lost a talented individual. This kind of thing must never happen in our city.

So I have to go along.

After listening patiently, Mine Manager Hao sent a teacup flying. This time, he had learned his lesson; the one that flew was an enamel mug, a defective one that Luo Yu had specially ordered from the warehouse of the Central Store.

"You good-for-nothing! You neglect your important business and just follow your wife around all day. What kind of future do you have?"

Putting everything else aside, have you made arrangements for those ten people I brought from the army the other day?

Has the Security Department finished writing its work plan for the second half of the year?

Has the security department finished writing the training plan for the second half of the year?

Have you written about the maintenance of the branches of the Hoshino tree?

Have you taken statistics on weapon consumption?

Did you finish writing the report last month on the joint crackdown on human trafficking with the Public Security Bureau? Have you submitted it?

The armed forces department wants you to go to a meeting this afternoon. What are you still standing here for? Are you waiting for me to personally drive you there?

Xi Beizhan easily dodged the flying enamel mug, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Are there so many things I haven't done? I don't recall them at all."

Mine Manager Hao was furious. "Get out! Get to the Armed Forces Department for a meeting. Director Kong will call me tomorrow asking for the report from last time. If you can't submit it, I'll break one of your legs."

Xi Beizhan rushed out of the mine manager's office, straightened his clothes outside the door, and glanced at Ding Weimin.

"Secretary Ding, our mine manager has been a bit irritable these past few days. Let's get him some chrysanthemum tea to cool him down."

After saying that, Xi Beizhan left.

Ding Weimin, standing behind him, looked speechless.

Don't you have any idea who angered the mine manager to this extent?

After leaving the mine manager's office, Xi Beizhan rushed to the Women's Federation to find Luo Yu.

"I have to go to a meeting in the city this afternoon, so I can't stay with you."

You're right. Brother Xing is the head of the security department, but he doesn't manage anything. He makes me do everything, keeping me so busy I don't have a single free moment. It's so annoying!

Luo Yu held Xi Beizhan's hand and whispered to comfort him, "They're doing this for your own good; they're paving the way for you."

"Is Brother Xing going to the Armed Forces Department next year? Won't you be taking over here?"

Xi Beizhan nodded. "It should be, otherwise he wouldn't keep sending me to meetings in the city."

What's the point of the meeting? He just goes there to sleep. He's been scolded by Minister Jin a lot for that.

Luo Yu laughed and said, "This is a good thing, why aren't you happy?"

Xi Beizhan pursed his lips, "I'm not upset, it's just that I'm going to a meeting and I'm afraid I won't have much time to spend with you."

Luo Yu laughed and slapped him on the back. "So it's all because of me after all? Stop using me as an excuse. Let me tell you, you have to seize this opportunity. Don't wait until I go to the city and you're still at the mine. By then, you won't be able to be with me. You have to think about the long term."

Xi Beizhan sighed and nodded. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to go. Alright, I'm going to a meeting in the city first. I still have a lot of things to do when I get back. Be careful when you go this afternoon."

Luo Yu nodded. "I think it might rain. You should go and come back soon. I won't go far; I'll just go to the clothing factory in the street and come right back."

Xi Beizhan looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain. I really need to hurry up. Honey, give me your raincoat so I don't get soaked when I get back."

Luo Yu kept a raincoat in her office, just in case it rained after get off work and the two of them couldn't get home. It was perfect for Xi Beizhan to use.

After Xi Beizhan left, Luo Yu told Director Xu and rode her bicycle to the clothing factory on the street.
