Rebirth of Bloody Romance

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the gate of this bustling factory, forming mottled light and shadows. These light and shadows are like the brush of nature, gently outlining a picture full of vitality and vigor.

Gao Yue stood quietly in the crowd, her eyes involuntarily falling on the figure in front of her surrounded by the crowd - the new factory director Zhong Yuemin.

Zhong Yuemin is tall and straight, with extraordinary temperament. His appearance is like a bright light, attracting the attention of people around him.

Looking at Zhong Yuemin in front of her, Gao Yue felt an inexplicable surprise in her heart. She never thought that this new factory director was actually someone she once knew.

Zhong Yuemin seemed to feel Gao Yue's gaze as well. He raised his head, his eyes shuttled through the crowd, and finally fixed on Gao Yue.

When their eyes met, Zhong Yuemin's face first flashed with surprise, followed by a bitter smile. He obviously did not expect to meet Gao Yue here, and this unexpected encounter caught him off guard.

Fate! It is such an unpredictable and magical existence. It always comes suddenly when people are least prepared, bringing them unexpected surprises or shocks.

Zhong Yuemin thought that as long as he didn't go to Zui Xiang Lou, he could avoid any intersection with Gao Yue, but the fact seemed not to be so. Faced with this unavoidable reality, he could only choose to accept it helplessly.

On the other side, Deputy Director Shang had been observing Zhong Yuemin's expression. When he saw Zhong Yuemin shaking his head, he immediately ran over with a flattering smile on his face and asked cautiously, "Director Zhong, are you dissatisfied with something?"

Zhong Yuemin retracted his gaze, glanced at Deputy Director Shang nonchalantly, then shook his head slightly and said in a calm tone, "Nothing happened, everything is fine."

In the spacious and bright auditorium of the Wool Spinning Plant No. 3, the seats were packed. Director Wang of the State-owned Enterprise Reform Office stood on the stage, and his loud and firm voice echoed throughout the auditorium. "Comrades, today, our factory has ushered in a moment of great significance! Comrade Zhong Yuemin has officially joined our big family and become the new director of our Wool Spinning Plant No. 3! I have no doubt that under his outstanding leadership, our factory will be able to regain its former glory!"

Director Wang paused for a moment and then continued, "Comrade Zhong Yuemin is not only the new leader of our factory, but also an outstanding teacher in the field of economics at Yenching University! He has profound and solid professional knowledge in economics and rich and diverse practical experience, all of which make us full of confidence and expectations in him! At present, our factory is indeed facing some difficult challenges and problems, but it is precisely because of this that we urgently need Comrade Zhong Yuemin's wisdom and leadership to lead everyone to overcome difficulties and move forward courageously! After careful consideration by the superior department, it was finally decided to appoint Comrade Zhong Yuemin as the director of our factory. I sincerely hope that he can lead us out of the predicament and create a new world!"

The auditorium of the wool spinning factory is spacious and bright, but it seems a little dim when the sunlight shines through the windows. This light just creates a solemn and solemn atmosphere. At this time, Director Wang said, "Next, please welcome Comrade Zhong Yuemin to the stage to give a speech with the warmest applause!"

However, this statement was responded to with sparse applause. It was obvious that the employees did not show much enthusiasm and expectation for the arrival of the new factory director.

Zhong Yuemin walked steadily up to the podium. Facing the slightly indifferent faces below the stage, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Zhong Yuemin knew very well that these employees had experienced too many changes and leadership changes in the factory, and seemed to have become numb to who would take on the position of factory director.

"Hello, everyone! I am Zhong Yuemin." His voice echoed throughout the auditorium, clear and powerful. He paused for a moment, then began to scan every employee present.

Suddenly, Zhong Yuemin's eyes stopped at a corner, where several people he was familiar with were sitting. Some of them he could call out by name, while others he had forgotten because it had been so long. Zhong Yuemin felt a faint sense of nostalgia, but he quickly turned his attention back to the current task.

The discussions in the auditorium gradually died down, and Zhong Yuemin's voice rang out again, clear and firm, penetrating every corner of the auditorium.

"Most of you probably don't know me, but it doesn't matter. You will get to know me soon, and many of you will even hate me." His words revealed an unquestionable determination, making everyone present feel the coming breath of change.

After a brief silence, Zhong Yuemin's voice rang out again. "Do you want to know why?" He paused slightly, his eyes sweeping across the faces of every employee, as if trying to see through the doubts and uneasiness in their hearts.

"Because I'm going to break your iron rice bowl."

Zhong Yuemin's voice was decisive and firm, like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. The auditorium was instantly in an uproar, with discussions rising and falling like a volcano about to erupt.

"Some of you may have heard that my arrival can fire any of you." Zhong Yuemin's words were like a thunderclap, instantly quieting the originally noisy auditorium. Every employee held their breath, fearing that they would miss every word that followed.

"I know it's hard to accept, but that's the reality."

Zhong Yuemin's voice softened, but the firmness in his tone did not change at all. "So, I'll give you five days. Those who just want to get by and have no ability, hurry up and leave the Woolen Mill No. 3 during these five days."

There was another wave of discussion in the auditorium, but Zhong Yuemin did not give them much time to digest and react.

Zhong Yuemin continued, "Each of you must think carefully. In the future, the Third Wool Textile Factory will not promote people based on seniority. No matter what position you are in, the one with the most ability will be promoted. This is my promise to you and also my promise to the future of the Third Wool Textile Factory."

"If one day someone said to me: Zhong Yuemin, I am definitely better than you at being the factory director, then I would give it up."

Zhong Yuemin's voice was full of confidence and humility, making everyone present feel his sincerity and determination.

Zhong Yuemin's words are like a ray of light, illuminating the future of the Wool Spinning Factory No. 3. Although the road to change is full of challenges and difficulties, the employees believe that under the leadership of Zhong Yuemin, the Wool Spinning Factory No. 3 will surely usher in new glory.

After walking out of the auditorium, Director Wang's face was filled with a satisfied and relaxed smile. He turned his eyes to Zhong Yuemin, revealing a hint of admiration and teasing. "Yuemin, you were so brave just now, you dared to say such a thing. I couldn't help but sweat for you!"

Zhong Yuemin smiled slightly, his eyes were firm and confident, as if he was announcing his determination to the world. He looked directly into Director Wang's eyes and replied calmly, "Uncle Wang, do you think I'm just joking? No, that's not just talk, it's my true thoughts deep in my heart. Moreover, I will definitely put these ideas into practice and make them a reality."

After hearing this, Director Wang couldn't help but smile and shook his head. He knew Zhong Yuemin's personality very well, and this young man was always full of passion and courage.

Director Wang patted Zhong Yuemin on the shoulder to show his understanding and support. "Well, in that case, it depends on your performance. I believe you have the ability to achieve your goals, but you also need to pay attention to methods and strategies."

At this time, all the leaders of the Third Wool Spinning Factory also gathered around. They said goodbye to Director Wang and sincerely thanked him for his concern and support for the Third Wool Spinning Factory.

Director Wang shook hands with them one by one and expressed his trust and expectations for everyone in a firm tone. "I hope you can continue to work hard and jointly promote the development and growth of the Third Wool Spinning Factory. I believe that as long as everyone works together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome!"

In this lively atmosphere, Zhong Yuemin stood quietly aside. He silently watched Director Wang get into the car, and then the car slowly drove away. As the car drove away, Zhong Yuemin felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Deputy Director Shang came up to Zhong Yuemin. "Director Zhong, let me introduce our leadership team to you."

Zhong Yuemin nodded slowly, and his eyes, like an explorer, began to carefully examine the wool spinning factory. In front of him, a wide gravel road stretched straight out, and the road surface was covered with pebbles of various sizes and shapes. Years of precipitation and countless trampling made the surface of these stones as smooth as a mirror and as round as jade.

On both sides of the road, rows of tall and straight trees stand like loyal guards. Although it is winter now and the leaves have long fallen, leaving only bare branches, it is not difficult to infer from the thick trunks and dense branches that they all carry a long history.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but imagine in his mind: when the hot summer comes, these trees will surely be full of vitality, and the lush branches and leaves will provide a cool green shade for the entire factory.

At that time, the workers, wearing blue work clothes, were busy under the shadows of the trees; occasionally a bicycle would travel on the gravel road, and the crisp and pleasant sound of the bicycle bells would echo in the empty factory area... What a picture full of life and vitality!

Zhong Yuemin's gaze slowly moved forward and finally stopped on the banner hanging above the road.

The banner is bright and eye-catching, with the words "Strive to realize the four modernizations" clearly written in bold black font.

These slogans are like a flag, fluttering slightly in the biting cold wind, as if silently telling the story of the past glory of the No. 3 Woolen Mill and its vision for the future.

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.

Zhong Yuemin knows very well that from this moment on, he will be closely connected with this land and the workers here, and shoulder the important task of jointly promoting the future development of the factory.

Zhong Yuemin and Deputy Factory Director Shang Zhipeng walked side by side, discussing various matters of the Wool Spinning Factory No. 3. They slowly walked to the door of the accounting office, and Zhong Yuemin's eyes suddenly stopped on a woman - she was Zhao Wenjing, the accountant of the Wool Spinning Factory No. 3.

"Accountant Zhao, how much money is left in our factory's account now?" Zhong Yuemin asked directly.

Zhao Wenjing looked up at the new factory director with a flash of surprise in her eyes, but then she regained her composure. She pushed her glasses slightly and replied, "Director Zhong, our factory made a profit of more than 21 yuan last year, but the various expenses were also very large, adding up to more than 52 yuan."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin frowned. "Wait, do you mean that we don't have a penny left in our account, but we owe 31 yuan?" He tried to confirm whether the information he just heard was correct.

Zhao Wenjing nodded gently, revealing an unconcealable helpless look on her face. "That's right, Director Zhong, the market competition has been extremely fierce in recent years, and the price of raw materials has been rising, but it is difficult to increase the sales price of our products, which has directly led to the company's profits decreasing year by year. In addition, there are a series of indispensable expenses that need to be paid, such as equipment maintenance costs and employee salaries, etc. We are indeed facing some serious financial difficulties."

Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath. He knew very well that what he had taken over was not just a simple factory. To be more precise, it was an enterprise under heavy financial pressure.

The group walked through every corner of the wool spinning factory, and Zhong Yuemin was shocked by the vast area. The sanitary conditions in the factory were also quite good, and the clean and tidy environment left a good impression on people.

It was working hours, and probably because the new factory manager had taken office, there were almost no idle employees in the factory. Everyone was busy at their respective jobs, presenting an orderly working atmosphere.

Deputy Director Shang introduced the layout of the factory facilities to Zhong Yuemin. "Director Zhong, this is our production workshop, and this is the factory warehouse..."

However, Zhong Yuemin did not seem to be interested in the production workshop. He interrupted Deputy Director Shang's introduction and said directly, "Open the door of the warehouse."

Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu looked at each other, seeming to be somewhat surprised by Zhong Yuemin's decision. Deputy Director Shang hesitated for a moment, but still chose to comply with Zhong Yuemin's request. "Director Zhong, how about we go to the production workshop first?"

Director Liu also agreed. "Yes! Director Zhong, let's go to the production workshop first."

But Zhong Yuemin ignored them and went straight to the warehouse. He knew that for a manufacturing company, the warehouse is an extremely important link.

The storage of materials in the warehouse directly reflects the production capacity and operating conditions of the enterprise. Therefore, he must personally check the warehouse situation to have a more comprehensive understanding of the wool spinning factory.

Luo Jianjun quickly stepped forward and opened the door of the warehouse for Zhong Yuemin, and whispered, "Brother Zhong, please come in." There was a hint of respect and kindness in his words.

When Zhong Yuemin heard this name, he paused, a puzzled expression appeared on his face, and he turned around and asked, "Do you know me?"

Luo Jianjun nodded and explained with a smile. "Brother Zhong, my name is Luo Jianjun. Luo Jianguo is my brother. When I met him before, he always mentioned you. So, although we just met today, I have heard of your name a long time ago."

Zhong Yuemin suddenly realized that Luo Jianjun was Luo Jianguo's younger brother. He patted Luo Jianjun on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk later." Then he turned and walked into the warehouse.

Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu and others stood in the back, watching this scene with surprised expressions on their faces. They knew that Luo Jianjun was usually unruly and looked down on everyone, but they didn't expect that he would be so respectful to a new director today.

Deputy Director Shang whispered to Director Liu, "Luo Jianjun is usually so arrogant that no one looks up to him. What happened today? He is so respectful to Director Zhong."

Director Liu also shook his head, expressing his confusion. "Yeah, I didn't expect that either. It seems that Director Zhong has a great background."

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of curiosity and expectation in each other's eyes. They wanted to know what the new Director Zhong was capable of and whether he could lead the wool spinning factory No. 3 out of its predicament and usher in new glory.

Zhong Yuemin walked into the warehouse and saw the finished products piled up in the warehouse. His brows furrowed. He turned to Deputy Director Shang and asked in a deep voice, "Director Shang, what's going on? How do you explain so much inventory?"

Deputy Director Shang sighed and answered helplessly, "Director Zhong, in recent years, many clothes from the south have appeared in the Beijing market. Their styles are novel and the prices are cheap, and they are deeply loved by the masses. In comparison, the clothes of our factory seem a bit outdated and expensive. Except for the orders designated by the superiors, the others are basically unsaleable."

Hearing this, Zhong Yuemin's heart sank. He thought to himself, "Fuck, I was the one who caused all this trouble! Now I have to solve this problem. It seems fair."

Zhong Yuemin realized that as the new factory director, he not only had to face the problem of inventory backlog, but also had to find ways to change the factory's production and sales strategies to adapt to market changes.

Zhong Yuemin stood at the door of the warehouse, looking at the piles of finished products, a solemn expression on his face. He took a deep breath, turned around and gave orders to Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu behind him. "Notify them immediately, the whole factory will stop working, but wages will be paid as usual."

Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu were shocked when they heard this. Deputy Director Shang said hurriedly, "Director Zhong, please think twice! Stopping work may not only cause dissatisfaction among employees, but we are also facing..."

Director Liu also quickly agreed. "Yes, Director Zhong, doing this may cause a series of problems. We must think carefully before we proceed."

However, Zhong Yuemin interrupted them without hesitation and said firmly, "Listen to me, let's do this. In the current situation, the more we produce, the greater the loss. We need to stop and re-examine the existing production and sales strategies, dig deep into the root of the problem, and never work hard blindly."

Deputy Director Shang and Director Liu looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes. Although they still had doubts in their hearts, they still followed Zhong Yuemin's request to convey the news of the suspension of work.
