Chapter 151: Apology
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Come in," Director Geng said.
The office door was pushed open.
Five people came in.
Director Geng looked at the group that entered and said, "I’d like to introduce you to the leader of Group Six, Comrade Fu Mingxue."
"Comrade Fu Mingxue, these are your team members."
The five men were shocked to see how young Fu Mingxue was.
They had imagined their group leader would be at least fifty or sixty years old.
Failing that, a middle-aged man of at least forty-five.
’How could it be a girl in her twenties?’
’Is this some kind of joke?’
Seeing the doubtful expressions on the five men’s faces, Director Geng said, "You don’t need to be suspicious. This is the new leader of Group Six, a decision made by Mr. Ji and our factory leadership. She is also the designer of the new AC1001 engine."
"Now, each of you introduce yourselves to your Group Leader Fu."
Everyone: ...?
This was just too ridiculous.
She was actually the design engineer for the AC1001.
However, since Director Geng had said so, it must be true.
After all, something like this couldn’t be faked.
One of them was the first to step forward and introduce himself. "I’m Chang Qingze, the deputy leader of this group."
"My name is Feng Huan."
"I’m Shao Man."
"Qiu Yongguang."
"He Yu."
Once they had all introduced themselves, Fu Mingxue spoke up. "My name is Fu Mingxue, and I will be the leader of Group Six from now on. I hope that in the days to come, we can work together as a team and successfully complete the development of the AC1001 soon."
"Alright, now that you’ve all been introduced, Group Leader Fu, please head to your workshop with your team members. As for your work badge, I’ll have it sent over to you later."
Fu Mingxue nodded. "Okay."
She left with the five men.
There was still much to do, such as getting to know each of their respective strengths.
...
Mrs. Fu had dinner ready early, but her daughter hadn’t come home yet.
Instead, she was met with a knock at the door.
She was puzzled. ’It couldn’t be someone else coming to make trouble, could it?’
She walked over to open the door and saw a man standing outside.
"Ma’am, hello. I’m Director Xie. I heard something unpleasant happened today, and I’ve come to apologize."
Director Xie said, his face full of apology.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu quickly said, "It’s just a small matter, I’m fine—there’s no need for Director Xie to apologize. Director Xie, why don’t you come in and we can talk."
Director Xie nodded and walked into the courtyard.
He looked at the immaculately clean courtyard and was very pleased. ’Sure enough, having family around makes all the difference.’
"Ma’am, with Qin Wenhao away on a mission and Mr. Fu at work, it must be tough on you to look after the two children alone. I truly didn’t expect those women to come to your door and cause a scene over Mr. Fu’s job. That’s my dereliction of duty. I am so sorry—"
Mrs. Fu, who had still been feeling a bit angry, found that her anger had completely dissipated.
She quickly replied, "It’s all a small matter. I was a little angry earlier, but after thinking about it, I know they were just anxious about the job situation. I can understand."
At her age, of course she knew how to say the right things.
Director Xie felt that Qin Wenhao’s mother-in-law was a wonderful person.
She looked so kind and amicable.
"Speaking of which, we should be the ones thanking you, Director Xie. Thank you for promptly sending over the rice and flour yesterday."
"It’s our duty. The cost will be deducted from Qin Wenhao’s allowance later."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Director Xie finally took his leave.
Meanwhile, the family members who had come to stir up trouble were all given a harsh scolding by their husbands.
A few of them even secretly came over to apologize to Mrs. Fu.
