Siheyuan: I just came across and wanted to chase me away

Chapter 845 Qin Huairu wants to ask Gu Nan for help

At the meeting, Gu Nan methodically praised several employees for their outstanding work performance. His sincere words warmed the hearts of those being praised and inspired everyone present. After the commendation, he checked the time and prepared to leave. He walked towards the door with an upright posture and steady steps, neither hurried nor slow.

Qin Huairu stood in the crowd, her heart as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. She knew she had made a big mistake at work today, and if she didn't fight for it, her future at the steel mill would be even more difficult. So, she gritted her teeth and decided to chase after Gu Nan to plead for mercy.

Gu Nan was about to return to the office when he saw Qin Huairu rushing out from behind. He stopped, frowned slightly, looked at Qin Huairu, and asked with a hint of doubt and impatience in his tone, "Why are you out here instead of working at the steel mill?"

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes full of pleading, and looked at Gu Nan and said, "Deputy Director Gu, I was indeed wrong today, and I apologize to you. Can you be so magnanimous and give me another chance? I promise to work hard in the future and not make such a mistake again." As Qin Huairu spoke, she twisted her hands together unconsciously, showing her inner tension and uneasiness.

Gu Nan looked at Qin Huairu with a serious expression, his eyes without the slightest wavering, and said, "You should know what kind of person I am. With me, there is no such thing as backdoor dealings. Everything depends on real ability. You should focus more on learning technology. If you still fail the next assessment, although I can't fire you directly, I can still transfer you to another position. Don't regret it then." Gu Nan's voice was not loud, but every word revealed unquestionable majesty.

Qin Huairu wanted to argue a little more, trying to get Gu Nan to change his mind. But before she could finish her words, Gu Nan had already turned around and strode away. He thought to himself, why should he show any mercy to Qin Huairu? At work, public and private matters should be clearly separated. The rules cannot be broken because of a little personal affection.

Qin Huairu watched Gu Nan's back as he walked away, feeling a surge of regret. She couldn't help but wonder, if she had been nicer to Gu Nan, if she had tried to get closer to him, wouldn't she have ended up like this? However, now that things had come to this, no amount of regret would have helped.

However, Qin Huairu thought again, her family was already in such a difficult situation. After Jia Dongxu's death, the entire family burden fell on her alone. Why couldn't Gu Nan be more understanding and considerate of her? Even if he didn't help, he shouldn't have kicked her when she was down. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, feeling that Gu Nan was truly unkind.

Qin Huairu's face flushed with anger, and she turned around and walked back angrily. But she also knew in her heart that even Yi Zhonghai, let alone herself, would not be able to gain any advantage in front of Gu Nan. After all, Gu Nan held a high position in the steel mill and was ruthless and impartial. She was no match for him at all.

Qin Huairu returned to her workplace and Ma Jiefang was standing there. He showed a hint of disdain on his face when he saw Qin Huairu coming back, but when he thought about the situation at Qin Huairu's home, he couldn't help but ask, "Qin Huairu, what did you do just now?"

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard Ma Jiefang's question. What could she say? Should she tell Gu Nan that she had asked for his help but was rejected? That would be so embarrassing. So, she could only lower her head, her face flushed, and she couldn't say a word.

Although Ma Jiefang usually looked down on Qin Huairu and thought she was a bit selfish, he couldn't help but sigh when he saw her like this. He looked at Qin Huairu and said earnestly: "Qin Huairu, you have to learn your skills well. The competition is so fierce now. If you keep going like this, you will really be fired. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children at home." Although there was a hint of blame in Ma Jiefang's tone, it was more of a reminder and advice.

Qin Huairu raised her head, her eyes meeting Ma Jiefang's, her lips moving slightly as if she were about to say something. She knew her beauty usually had an effect on many men, but Ma Jiefang seemed oblivious to her beauty, his attitude always businesslike. Helplessly, she could only whisper, "I understand, Director," with a subtle hint of disappointment in her voice.

Ma Jiefang just responded lightly, nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards where Yi Zhonghai was.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai was sulking in a corner. He looked at the people around him who used to be his apprentices. Now, each of them has made significant progress in technology, and many have even surpassed him. He felt very upset. Moreover, the attitude of the people in the factory seemed to have changed recently. Everyone seemed to want to take this opportunity to step on him. Yi Zhonghai knew in his heart that all this was because he had offended Gu Nan! In this factory, Gu Nan is a well-known figure. After offending him, everyone naturally wanted to suppress him to please Gu Nan and get promoted.

Yi Zhonghai became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his hands became a little flustered. At this moment, he was not paying attention, and the part he was working on with a "click" sounded, and was ruined by him. Yi Zhonghai was shocked and subconsciously wanted to hide the ruined part to avoid being seen by others and being gossiped about.

But just as he had hidden the parts behind him, Ma Jiefang's voice rang in his ear: "Master Yi, what's wrong with you lately? You seem absent-minded." Yi Zhonghai was startled by the sudden voice and trembled unconsciously. He slowly turned around and looked at Ma Jiefang, forcing an awkward smile on his face. He said, "Director, I was careless just now. I'm a little confused, but don't worry, I will definitely work hard to adjust my state and do my job well."

Ma Jiefang frowned, looked Yi Zhonghai up and down, and said seriously, "Master Yi, you are also a veteran employee of the factory. You are supposed to be experienced, so why do you often make mistakes like this? If you are so careless and make mistakes frequently in the future, don't blame me for being rude. The factory has its own rules. We can't always condone you just because you are a veteran employee."

Yi Zhonghai nodded quickly and said sincerely, "Director, I know I was wrong. I will pay attention in the future and promise not to make this mistake again."

Ma Jiefang looked at Yi Zhonghai, feeling somewhat helpless. He knew that Yi Zhonghai was indeed old and not as energetic as before, but what made him even more angry was that Yi Zhonghai had to offend Gu Nan for some reason.
