Chapter 286 Stop Shipping Unnecessarily

He had previously speculated that Shen Li was slowly stripping him of his power, but he never expected that she would start anew and put Qin Min in charge of the completely new laboratory section.

He was still puzzled. After taking over the factory for so long, Shen Li was not in a hurry to expand the business at all. Instead, he devoted himself to the laboratory and building construction, which was really puzzling.

Many of the workshop directors and office directors below were people with connections, while others worked their way up step by step on their own merits.

The sudden appointment of such a young woman as deputy factory director inevitably caused some resentment among the staff.

But then I thought, this girl is so young and already in such a high position, she must be a relative of President Shen. Even if she has some dissatisfaction, no one would dare to show it on the spot - no one wants to make things difficult for themselves.

Amid this widespread misunderstanding, Qin Min's appointment as deputy factory director proceeded without any obstacles.

In the entire factory, only Fang Yi knew that Qin Min was a talent that Shen Li had genuinely recruited from outside, and that they were not related by blood.

Shen Li knew that veteran employees had their advantages, such as rich experience and familiarity with the business, but for the factory to develop, it could not simply follow the rules and regulations; it needed to inject fresh blood.

Therefore, she needs subordinates with two different management styles: one to stabilize the existing situation and the other to explore new areas.

After hearing Shen Li's arrangements, everyone applauded, offering a very polite welcome.

At this moment, a workshop foreman couldn't help but ask, "General Manager Shen, what are you going to be busy with next?"

Shen Li didn't mention that she was going back to school. She simply said, "I don't only own this one factory; I have other businesses to manage. If you need anything, just call me. I'll also come to the factory to check on things when I have time."

Everyone then realized what was going on.

During this period, Shen Li has already reviewed and improved the factory's rules and regulations.

Fang Yi's previous management was already quite effective; Shen Li simply added some new management requirements to make the factory's operation more standardized.

After settling things at the factory, I went home.

His absence from the courtyard added an unexpected touch of desolation.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen came to the villa on special occasion.

The family sat together and chatted about the recent situation of the Feng family.

Now, things are developing exactly as they predicted—ever since Feng Quan made those public remarks, news that "something bad is going to happen to the Feng family" has spread throughout the circle. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.

Those who had previously been suppressed by the Feng family and dared not speak out against it all went to the procuratorate to file complaints. Behind this, of course, were also people from the Shen family and Lu Cheng's side who were stirring things up.

After nearly twenty days of investigation and evidence collection, Committee Member Feng was officially dismissed from his post, and his entire family was thoroughly investigated. Almost everyone connected with the Feng family was brought down.

Mother Shen couldn't help but remind them, "The Feng family has fallen, and there's no guarantee that some of their followers won't hold a grudge. You must be extra careful about your safety in the future."

Seeing the worried expressions on her two elders' faces, Shen Li quickly nodded, "I know, you feel the same way. Isn't it safe to be out so late?"

Mr. Shen shook his head: "They're too busy taking care of themselves right now to dare to mess with us, but it's always better to be cautious."

Shen Li replied with an "okay".

That evening, Mr. and Mrs. Shen had dinner at the villa. After dinner, they chatted with Grandma Shen for a while before preparing to leave.

Before leaving, Shen Li carried a large amount of tonics into her parents' car.

Seeing this, Shen's mother couldn't help but scold, "Why are you taking so much stuff again? The food you brought home before, we haven't even finished eating yet."

Shen Li smiled and took her mother's arm: "These are all good for your health, so please don't hesitate to eat them, Dad and I. You're getting old, your health is the most important thing."

Mother Shen nodded helplessly, "I know, I know." Nuannuan, who was standing to the side, hugged Shen Li's leg and looked up at her with her little face, saying, "Auntie, I will miss you."

Shen Li bent down, picked up the little girl, and gave her a big kiss on her soft face with a "smack": "Auntie wants to warm up too."

Shen Li stood at the door, watching her parents' car gradually drive away until the taillights completely disappeared into the night before turning back into the yard.

She knew perfectly well that she had deliberately said those harsh words to draw the Feng family's attention to herself.

Now that the Feng family has fallen, even if those remaining followers want revenge, their target will only be her. Her parents and grandmother should be safe and sound.

The crazy things she said to Madam Feng back then seemed impulsive, but in fact, it was a well-thought-out decision—rather than putting her family in danger, she would rather take all the risks upon herself.

From now on, she needs to be even more careful about safety.

Jerry has already found what she needs—that machine tool, which costs ten thousand yuan.

All I can say is that it's just too expensive.

It was Jerry who had to make the purchases; if it were her, she probably wouldn't even have been able to find a way. Shen Li gritted her teeth and bought three units directly.

Worried that she wouldn't understand how to use it, Jerry specially arranged for two instructors to come and guide her.

Goodness, this means Shen Li will have to go to the factory more often—because both of the foremen speak English, and she'll have to personally supervise the translators.

After all, it's my own factory, so I can't be careless in the slightest. It's definitely going to take a lot of effort.

There's just not enough money.

The 200,000 yuan obtained from the asset swap was almost entirely spent on buying machinery and repairing the factory.

Our current cash flow is entirely supported by income from Mu Xi's business.

Fortunately, the products there are all traded in the space, and apart from paying cash for labor, there are no other expenses.

The amount of money she receives each month isn't small; otherwise, she'd probably have to secretly sell gold to keep the money flowing.

There must be many people watching her now, so she has to be extra careful in her actions.

At the end of September, Shen Li finally managed to find time to go to school.

Early in the morning, Xie Mei sidled up to her, her eyes full of gossip: "What's going on between you and Ming Xiangyang? Why are you both absent from class?"

Shen Li was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "He didn't come to class either?"

"You don't know?" Xie Mei stared at her in disbelief.

"I really don't know." Shen Li shook her head, then realized after a moment's thought that Ming Xiangyang had also taken over a pharmaceutical factory, and was probably just like her, held back by the factory's affairs.

"I thought you two had something important to do together." Xie Mei clicked her tongue, her eyes burning with even more gossip.

Shen Li quickly interrupted her wild imagination: "Stop, stop, stop shipping us like this. We're just ordinary classmates."

Xie Mei scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "What is CP? Does it mean a couple?"

"More or less," Shen Li nodded helplessly.

"Oh, well, there's nothing I can do about that!" Xie Mei said matter-of-factly. "The main problem is, if we don't ship you two, there's no one else in the class worth shipping. You two are such a perfect match, so handsome and beautiful!"

Shen Li was at her wit's end, and looked up with a long sigh: "Why don't you go and write sketchbooks? I think that might be your forte."

Xie Mei's eyes lit up, and she immediately became serious: "Really?"

"Really." Shen Li nodded seriously.

"Can I write about you instead?" Xie Mei pressed.

Shen Li didn't take it seriously and casually replied, "Sure, I believe in you. Good luck."
