Time Travel Article: My parents divorced at the beginning

Chapter 159: Shifting the blame

Forced by the situation, Zhang Huaimin had to endure the humiliation of having feces thrown at him in public, but he felt so suffocated that he simply turned his head away from the old branch secretary opposite him, whose face was wrinkled with laughter.

When Zhang Huaimin turned his head, he caught a glimpse of a car parked outside the crowd. Only then did he remember that he still had important things to do!

At this moment, Zhang Huaimin regretted so much that he wanted to slap himself. He shouldn't have stood up and spoken. He should have led the person to the new factory director and let him handle it. That way, he wouldn't have encountered this unexpected disaster.

Zhang Huaimin, feeling he was shielding the new factory director from disaster, interrupted the old Party branch secretary's meaningless words of thanks and addressed him directly, "The new director of the Red Star Food Factory has arrived today. He will now be responsible for your village's outstanding debts!"

Zhang Huaimin's look of trying to shift the blame made the old branch secretary suddenly stop talking.

This...how come there is suddenly a new factory manager?

The old branch secretary lowered his head and frowned in thought, and did not continue speaking.

Instead, Officer Xu turned to Zhang Huaiming and asked, "Director Zhang, since both of you have decided to resolve this matter privately, we will issue you a mediation agreement, and this matter will be considered over."

"Yes, let's get the mediation agreement done now. Let's sign it sooner so I can go back and change clothes earlier!" Zhang Huaimin said without any hesitation after hearing this.

While Officer Xu was drafting the negotiation agreement on the spot, Zhang Huaimin turned and walked towards the car.

Only when I got closer to Zhang Huaimin did I realize that there was no one else in the car except the driver, Lao Lu.

Zhang Huaiming looked inside the car and asked the driver, Lao Lu, "Hey? Lao Lu, where is the new factory director?"

"The new factory director just got out of the car. Look, that's the guy in the brown-green jacket!" Old Lu pointed at Gu Qingyu's position when he heard that.

Zhang Huaimin looked in the direction of Old Lu's finger and saw only a young girl wearing a brown-green coat standing on the outskirts of the crowd watching the excitement. She looked to be in her early twenties.

Zhang Huaimin and his team had just received the notice that morning and hadn't had time to inquire about the details of the new factory director. Now, seeing such a young woman, he looked at Old Lu in disbelief and asked, "Who is the new factory director?"

Seeing Zhang Huaimin's expression of disbelief, Old Lu nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, that's right! The secretary specifically asked me to send someone over here, there's no doubt about it!"

"Old Lu, we have known each other for many years. Can you tell me about this man's background?" Zhang Huaimin took a few steps closer and asked in a low voice.

"This person is Gu Qingyu, who was promoted from Ping'an County. It is said that the mushroom base in Ping'an County was single-handedly promoted by her."

"He was originally promoted to the Economic and Trade Bureau as office manager, but for some reason after the Spring Festival holiday, the bureau suddenly decided to appoint him as the new director of your factory!"

When Zhang Huaimin heard this, he knew that there must be something going on. It seemed that he would have to find someone to investigate it after he returned.

But the most important thing right now is to get rid of this mess in front of them. Thinking of this, Zhang Huaimin and Lao Lu waved their hands and walked straight towards Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu had just been watching the exchange between the two sides from the outskirts of the crowd, so he naturally noticed Zhang Huaimin's move towards the car.

Seeing that he was walking straight towards her, she knew that this person had learned her identity from Old Lu, so Gu Qingyu simply turned around and walked towards Zhang Huaimin.

As she got closer to Zhang Huaimin and smelled the faint stench coming from him, Gu Qingyu suddenly thought of the scene when she first met Professor Qian in Beijing and they were cultivating and fattening mushrooms. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Why did she always get along well with bad smells!

When Zhang Huaimin saw Gu Qingyu approaching, he quickly stepped forward, smiling and greeting her, saying, "Director Gu, welcome to our Red Star Food Factory!"

"I'm so sorry that you encountered something like this on your first day in office!"

"It's indeed a unique scene!" Gu Qingyu looked at the crowd around him and spoke slowly.

"Haha, sorry to embarrass you." Zhang Huaimin said awkwardly after hearing this.

"Several key leaders of our Red Star Factory are right next to us. Can I introduce them to you?" Zhang Huaimin said, pointing to Wang Ziqiang and others standing not far away.

Gu Qingyu smiled and refused, "We'll all be colleagues in the future, so there will naturally be opportunities to get to know each other. There's no need to rush. Just deal with the things in front of you first!"

Zhang Huaimin was so eager to introduce Gu Qingyu to Wang Ziqiang and the others because he wanted her to take over the mess. But the other party ignored him completely. From what Gu Qingyu said, how could he leave this mess to himself?

If the mountain is not mine, I will be the mountain!

Since Gu Qingyu was unwilling to go over, Zhang Huaimin simply waved at Wang Ziqiang and others and asked them to come over.

Seeing Zhang Huaimin's actions, Gu Qingyu narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself, "What's this guy trying to get me to recognize him so urgently? There must be something bad waiting for me!"

Wang Ziqiang, Lao Wu and others were very curious and puzzled when they saw Zhang Huaimin waving to them to come over.

"Why is this guy waving us over?"

"I don't know, let's go over there first!"

When they came closer, Zhang Huaimin introduced them to everyone, "Because she is our factory's new director and secretary—Gu Qingyu!"

When everyone looked at Gu Qingyu, their first reaction was that the new factory director was really young!

Although Gu Qingyu is young, he is their immediate superior after all. After they realized what was happening, they all introduced themselves to Gu Qingyu enthusiastically.

After a round of greetings, Zhang Huaiming pretended to cough a few times casually and winked at Wang Ziqiang, Lao Wu and others.

Then he pretended to be pitiful and complained to Gu Qingyu, "Director Gu, the bureau finally remembered our Red Star Food Factory and sent you here!"

"Our food factory is having a really hard time right now. People are blocking us every day asking for debts. We're just waiting for you to take over and solve our problems!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziqiang and the others quickly echoed, "That's right. The factory has been waiting for the bureau to send a capable person to help us solve the problem, and now you've finally been sent."

"You have to think of a way to help the factory overcome this difficult time!"

A group of people surrounded Gu Qingyu, talking to each other, making Gu Qingyu's head buzz.

She was wondering why Zhang Huaimin was so anxious to introduce her to the leaders of the Red Star Factory. It turned out that he was eager to pass on the blame!
