Regardless of what Fang Xiuying muttered, Wang An had to leave. After rubbing Fang Xiuying's head, Wang An strode away.
After Wang An left, Fang Xiuying became as if she had been injected with chicken blood; her entire being was filled with fighting spirit, and she immediately began to act according to Wang An's instructions.
Previously, Fang Xiuying had a tendency to be hesitant in her actions, fearing she would offend this person or insult that one, always thinking that harmony was the most precious thing and that as long as everyone got along, it was fine.
But with Wang An's reprimand and backing, although the things Fang Xiuying had to do were more than before, she felt a sense of "the sea is wide for the fish to leap, and the sky is high for the birds to fly."
As for her treatment of the factory employees, it became "those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish." In any case, Fang Xiuying's current attitude was
"I am the factory director. If any of you dare to bicker with me again, I will beat you into the ground."
Fang Xiuying first took people to the security office to check the status of Director Cai and others' statements, then she took a group of brave men from the security department to the cafeteria to chat with the cooks for over an hour. After chatting with the cooks, Fang Xiuying retrieved the procurement bills and fund flows from the past year.
Finally, she had her subordinates submit materials and evidence to the procuratorate on charges of embezzlement, taking kickbacks, threatening employees, falsifying accounts, and providing cover.
She formally handed over Director Cai and the three people who had pleaded for him to Zhang Shuya and her team.
Upon hearing that it was an economic case involving the pharmaceutical factory and that Wang An had instructed Fang Xiuying to do this, Zhang Shuya naturally gave all four of those maggots the maximum penalty.
As for the other three who had pleaded for Director Cai but had not participated in the corruption, Fang Xiuying followed Wang An's instructions and gave them all three months' salary as compensation and told them to get lost.
Regarding those who relied on their seniority to act superior, pleaded for parasites, and ignored the interests of the factory, Fang Xiuying no longer showed even a shred of sentiment.
She had no choice; Wang An had already taught her how to do it. If she remained stubborn, she would have to slap herself a few times.
Mainly, although Fang Xiuying dared to joke with Wang An and call him a "pig's trotter," she was truly afraid of him—the kind of fear that came from her very bones.
In the following month, Fang Xiuying basically ignored matters regarding production and instead focused on purging those who spent their working days idling.
Regardless of who had planted them there or what deep background their families had, as long as they didn't work properly, Fang Xiuying fired and removed them all without a hint of hesitation.
In a large factory of 300 people, Fang Xiuying managed to purge over 70, accounting for more than a quarter of the total workforce.
But strangely enough, after purging these 70-plus people, the work efficiency in the various workshops of the pharmaceutical factory actually increased!
From this, it was evident that the existence of these 70-plus people had not only failed to create value for the factory but had actually hindered the enthusiasm of the other workers.
However, unexpectedly, after the purge ended, Fang Xiuying earned a very "underworld-style" nickname among the factory workers: "The Exterminating Fairy."
One could tell just by hearing the nickname that it was coined by a fan of Jin Yong.
Because her initial nickname was actually "The Exterminating Nun," but although Fang Xiuying's appearance wasn't as breathtakingly beautiful as Mu Xueqing or Sun Nian, anyone who saw her would be instantly stunned.
Furthermore, the workers Fang Xiuying fired were all trash waiting for death; as long as someone worked seriously—including those who weren't particularly diligent—the great factory director Fang Xiuying didn't touch a single one of them.
Therefore, the group of workers who were able to stay and continue working in the factory forcibly changed Fang Xiuying's nickname, changing "Nun" to "Fairy," calling her "The Exterminating Fairy"!
Just as Fang Xiuying was striving for her title of "Exterminating Fairy" at the factory...
Wang An had already driven to Fang Xiu'e's place.
Because he had been delayed discussing the pharmaceutical factory with Fang Xiuying, by the time Wang An arrived at Fang Xiu'e's residence, she had already opened the door and come out of the courtyard, heading to work at the county hospital.
Fortunately, Wang An and Fang Xiu'e bumped into each other.
Seeing Wang An arrive, Fang Xiu'e looked very happy, but she said with a hint of complaint
"I thought you had forgotten all about me?"
Wang An chuckled and jumped out of the car. Looking left and right and seeing no one, he opened his arms and pulled Fang Xiu'e into his embrace.
Then, Wang An said
"It hasn't been long since my injuries healed, and we had to make a trip to Anguo a few days ago. I came over as soon as I had free time. I was supposed to come this morning, but something happened at the pharmaceutical factory, and I was helping Sister Ying come up with ideas."
Fang Xiu'e didn't speak; she just leaned quietly in Wang An's arms, trying her best to familiarize herself with the scent emanating from him.
After hugging for a while, Wang An said
"Is it okay if you don't go to work this afternoon?"
Fang Xiu'e smiled slightly and said
"We in Traditional Chinese Medicine don't really have much to do in the afternoon anyway. Drive me to the hospital, and I'll let my supervisor know."
Wang An nodded with a mischievous grin, reached out to pat Fang Xiu'e's plump buttocks, and said
"Then get in the car, let's hurry over."
And so, Fang Xiu'e locked the main gate, and the two of them drove toward the hospital together.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Fang Xiu'e got out of the car and ran toward the office. Looking at Fang Xiu'e's hurried back, a playful smile couldn't help but appear on Wang An's face.
It was clear that this woman, Fang Xiu'e, was truly bursting with desire!
Before Wang An had even finished a single cigarette, Fang Xiu'e ran back out of the hospital office.
Having run back and forth, Fang Xiu'e's small face was slightly flushed and she was panting. The cotton coat on her chest rose and fell with her breathing, causing Wang An's imagination to run wild.
Consequently, the buttons on the cotton coat disappeared.
Noticing Wang An's fiery gaze and his restless large hand, Fang Xiu'e said, caught between laughter and tears
"Oh my, it's not like you haven't seen it before, why are you so hopeless? Let's go quickly."
Wang An chuckled, felt the unusual waves for a moment longer, and said
"Only now do I understand the meaning of the phrase 'a short separation is better than a honeymoon.' Just like how we are right now, don't you think?"
Fang Xiu'e looked out the car window with a nervous expression and couldn't help but pout coquettishly
"Oh, let's just go. There are so many people outside; what if someone sees us?"
Wang An laughed loudly, withdrew his hand, stepped on the clutch, shifted gears, released the clutch, stepped on the gas, and turned the steering wheel to make a U-turn. With a fierce roar from the GAZ vehicle, he drove back toward Fang Xiu'e's residence.
It must be said that although this old GAZ was quite fuel-inefficient, its torque and power were absolutely ferocious—just like the current Wang An, who felt as if he had endless strength. (End of Chapter)
