Chapter 26 Director Wang's Lack of Confidence
The ride-hailing car kicked up dust as it arrived at the company's steel factory.
The car door opened.
Jiang Heng looked ahead and saw two large trucks parked at the entrance of the warehouse next to the factory.
Engineer Zhou was standing not far from the car, talking to a slightly overweight middle-aged man.
There were several factory workers next to them, and now they were caught in a dilemma: whether to unload the goods or not. So they simply stood and rested at the door.
At this moment, Jiang Heng got off the car.
"Jiang Heng?"
When Supervisor Zhou heard the car and saw Jiang Heng arrive, a slight smile finally appeared on his usually stern face.
"Is he Jiang Heng?" The slightly overweight middle-aged man was Director Wang.
When he saw Jiang Heng coming over, he looked him up and down a few times, trying to see what was so special about this 'young man' that made General Manager Zhou 'specifically name' him to sign the return form.
"Here you are, Engineer Zhou!"
When Jiang Heng heard Engineer Zhou call him, he smiled and quickly stepped forward, crossing the cement road and entering the factory grounds.
You have arrived at the sect's important location, the "Back Mountain Weapon Refining Pavilion".
Jiang Heng glanced at it, then looked at the embarrassed factory workers nearby.
[Zhou Zhenshou, the Supervisor of the Land, personally came to the "Back Mountain Refining Pavilion" to inspect the return of the "Mysterious Iron Refined Tube" to the sect. His imposing presence made the disciples of the sect hold their breath and dare not act recklessly.]
"Engineer Zhou, look, Jiang Heng, whom you've been waiting for, is here!"
After glancing at Jiang Heng a few times, Director Wang's face lit up with a smile. "Come on, everyone's here. Let's go to my office and chat."
Supervisor Zhou didn't reply, but simply nodded slightly to Jiang Heng who was walking over, and then followed Director Wang to the factory office.
Jiang Heng followed and saw that the office was not far away, right next to the factory gate.
The door was open, and the room wasn't very big; there was just a desk and a few plastic stools.
Supervisor Zhou was quite decisive; he simply pulled up a stool and placed it in front of his desk.
Then he took out another document from his bag and laid it out on the table.
Supervisor Zhou turned to look at Jiang Heng, his pen pausing at the signature area.
"Jiang Heng, the goods have been counted by Director Wang. You can check the quantity with him."
Supervisor Zhou gave Jiang Heng time to ask questions, saying, "In your factory and company, I don't know anyone else, except you."
If there are no problems with the goods, we'll sign together.
"Uh..." Director Wang's smile froze when he heard Supervisor Zhou speak like that.
Logically speaking, as the supervisor in charge of shipping and returns, he should be the one to sign off on the goods.
However, Supervisor Zhou is a big shot in the city's "Sanling Construction Group" and wields considerable power.
Mitsubishi is also one of the top ten construction groups in the city.
Director Wang couldn't afford to offend such a "wealthy patron," so he didn't argue, nor did he mention Hongyunda's company rules; he simply nodded and bowed, saying:
"The goods returned by Engineer Zhou are perfectly fine!"
As Director Wang spoke, he looked at Jiang Heng again, "The goods have been checked, and there's not a single discrepancy."
He may have said it, but the jealousy he felt being ignored was getting worse and worse.
[Elder Wang, the steward of the Weapon Refining Pavilion, was in turmoil. He both feared the power of "Guardian Zhou" and envied your high regard for him. His Dao heart was already unstable.]
Jiang Heng glanced at Director Wang, pretending not to see the panel notification, and picked up the document to take a look.
[Upon inspection, the number of discarded "mysterious iron tubes" was confirmed to be correct.]
Jiang Heng may not trust Director Wang, but he has great faith in the panel.
When he saw that the panel indicated everything was correct, Jiang Heng pretended to look at it, glanced at it a few times, and briefly checked the specifications with Director Wang before writing his name next to "Consignee".
"alright."
After Jiang Heng finished signing, he handed the document to Supervisor Zhou, saying, "Engineer Zhou, I'm sorry to trouble you to make this trip."
"I mainly just wanted to say hello, because I need to place another order soon." Supervisor Zhou put away the documents, then stood up and said, "Alright, you guys handle the rest. I won't bother you any longer."
As Supervisor Zhou was about to leave, he turned back to look at Jiang Heng beside him.
"Jiang Heng, for the next shipment, we'll directly reconcile the production specifications between the two of us."
"Okay." Jiang Heng was grateful to see Zhou Gong off, even though he hadn't seen the task notification.
Who knows, after a while, a 'big mission' will come.
"Take care, Mr. Zhou..." Director Wang hurriedly followed, smiling obsequiously as he saw Supervisor Zhou off to his car.
Supervisor Zhou left after the car started moving.
The remaining unloading work was handed over to the site materials department staff who stayed behind.
Director Wang's expression, which had been bowing and scraping, suddenly changed to a serious one.
"Hey you, slow down!"
When he saw the workers unloading the truck, he stood by and shouted orders, no longer as obsequious as before, but instead adopting an air of authority.
Jiang Heng checked the time; it was only 9:30, and there was still an hour and a half before Boss Lin's goods processing began.
But at this point, it's difficult to go to any market.
Jiang Heng simply put one hand in his pocket, cultivating while watching the unloading process.
The goods were unloaded around 10 a.m.
As Director Wang emerged from a nearby warehouse, he called out to Jiang Heng.
"Jiang Heng, come to my office."
After saying that, he turned around and went back to his office, his politeness towards Jiang Heng fading slightly.
However, since he didn't know Jiang Heng's specific background, and since Jiang Heng seemed to know Supervisor Zhou, he didn't dare to put on his previous "fully-formed director's demeanor".
"I saw your order form for Boss Lin."
After he arrived at the office, he picked up his large tea mug and said:
"All the materials are ready; they're in workshop number three."
Wait a minute, I'll go with you.
After all, you're a clerk, and tasks like material handling and welding are quite complex. If you're not careful, problems can easily arise.
Although Director Wang dared not offend Jiang Heng, his words carried the implication, "Without me? You think you can manage?"
To some extent, he wanted to save face and also wanted to show Jiang Heng that he was actually a capable person.
Elder Wang has regrouped and is eager to restore the prestige of the "Weapon Refining Pavilion Steward" before you, but his confidence seems somewhat lacking, and his words are firm yet hollow.
Jiang Heng glanced at the panel and saw right through Director Wang's little scheme.
However, we do need to "use people" right now.
Jiang Heng ignored his arrogance and instead flattered him, saying, "It's great to have a veteran like Director Wang here to keep things in check!"
I don't really understand these procedures, but with Director Wang overseeing things, everything will be absolutely foolproof!
"Hey, hey, hey! That's going too far!"
When Director Wang heard Jiang Heng, who seemed to have some connections, suddenly flatter him, a smile returned to his face. "Let's go, let's go straight there and try to start work at 10:30, so your client won't get impatient."
……
Workshop No. 3 was filled with the sizzling sound of metal being cut.
As soon as Jiang Heng entered, he saw sparks flying everywhere, and his nose and mouth were filled with the smell of metal and ozone.
Clang, clang...
In the diagonally forward position, a huge shearing machine is also cutting steel plates, followed by a series of semi-automated production processes.
"angle!"
As soon as Director Wang entered, he put his hands behind his back and occasionally gave the operators a few pointers.
"How are you doing your product inspection? And you, who told you not to wear a hat?"
Although Director Wang's position in the factory is not high, as one of the factory's veterans, he wields considerable power.
The workers, accustomed to Director Wang's shouts, continued working without interrupting.
When Jiang Heng came in, although his eyes were on the assembly line, his attention was on the control panel.
[At the Refining Pavilion in the Back Mountain, outer disciples are using the "Geng Metal Fire Technique" to smelt ordinary iron and forge "Mysterious Iron Tubes"]
A refined tube of black iron has been produced, consisting of nine parts pure black iron and one part pig iron. If you infuse it with a wisp of watery, cold energy during the forging process, its toughness will increase by thirty percent.
