Chapter 248: Which Organization is Truly Hers?
Chapter 248: Which Organization is Truly Hers?
Jiang Xia was dressed elegantly and beautifully today, capturing the attention of everyone in the conference room.
Peng Yuhua's assistant, aware of her boss's dislike for attractive women, had not been particularly warm towards Jiang Xia during their previous encounter. Consequently, she hadn't prepared a seat for Jiang Xia at this conference, assuming it was just a temporary translation job. With a smile, she addressed Jiang Xia, "Comrade Jiang, good morning. I'm sorry, but we have limited seating due to the high number of attendees. We couldn't secure more seats, so..."
Peng Yuhua stood up and extended her hand, "Comrade Jiang, nice to meet you!"
As a textile expert, Peng Yuhua was highly attuned to the quality of fabrics. She took a quick glance at Jiang Xia's attire.
The clothes Jiang Xia wore were not something easily accessible to the average person.
One needed both money and coupons to acquire such garments.
Jiang Xia had been introduced to Peng Yuhua by Editor Fan, and she initially believed it was just a part-time translation job for the publishing house, similar to Wen Wan's role.
Her attire during their previous meeting was also quite ordinary.
Now it seemed that there was more to her than just a part-time translator.
Wen Wan: "..."
Just now, Factory Manager Peng hadn't stood up to shake hands with her.
Jiang Xia smiled and shook hands with Peng Yuhua.
Peng Yuhua turned to her secretary, "Xiao Zhi, I'm done here. You can go back now."
Xiao Zhi, Peng Yuhua's secretary and assistant, had already stood up and was about to continue the sentence she had started, but the words that came out were completely different, "So, I was sitting in Comrade Jiang's seat. Sorry! I'll leave now! Comrade Jiang, please take your seat!"
Jiang Xia smiled, "Thank you, I'd love to sit with everyone, but I already asked someone to reserve a seat for me."
At that moment, a group of men entered the room, and they were from the shipyard.
One of them immediately spotted Jiang Xia and called out to Zhou Fangzhang, "Comrade Zhou, Comrade Xia is over there!"
Both Zhou Fangzhang and Xu Fangzhang, seeing Jiang Xia at the textile factory's side, thought that the textile factory was trying to poach her. They both waved at her simultaneously.
Zhou Fangzhang, in a loud voice, said, "Comrade Xia! Your organization is here! Come over here!"
We've already applied for your employee housing, you can't just go to another organization!
Xu Fangzhang shouted, "Comrade Xia, come back! I have something important to discuss with you."
Although Comrade Xia only wanted to work as a part-time translator, there was still a primary organization, and that was the shipyard!
Peng Yuhua: "..."
Wen Wan: "..."
Other factory representatives: "..."
Jiang Xia smiled and said to Peng Yuhua, "Factory Manager Peng, I'll head over there first."
Peng Yuhua smiled and nodded.
The food factory team arrived, and Fang Aiyuan, upon spotting Jiang Xia's smile, immediately waved her over, "Comrade Xia, you're here so early? Come and sit with Aunt Fang."
Peng Yuhua: "..."
Wen Wan: "..."
Shipyard representatives: "..."
Other factory representatives: "..."
The plastic factory team followed closely behind, and Feng Fangzhang, their factory manager, also spotted Jiang Xia immediately upon entering.
He waved her over, "Comrade Jiang, come over here! I've specially reserved a seat for you!"
Peng Yuhua: "..."
Wen Wan: "..."
Shipyard representatives: "..."
Other factory representatives: "..."
Who was this Comrade Jiang, and why were all the factory managers vying to seat her?
Jiang Xia was a bit bewildered. She had only asked Zhou Fangzhang to reserve a seat for her, not the other factories.
Why were they all inviting her to sit with them?
Just then, Jiang Mu entered with the fashion factory team and immediately recognized her daughter.
Jiang Mu was taken aback, "Xia Xia, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Xia smiled, "Jiang Lady, I'm here as a part-time translator."
Jiang Mu glared at her. What was this 'Jiang Lady' business?
She was being disrespectful!
Jiang Mu had no idea which factory Jiang Xia was working for as a translator.
Jiang Xia hadn't informed her.
But Jiang Mu didn't press the issue.
"Sit with me!" Jiang Mu declared.
With Jiang Mu's claim, the two shipyard managers couldn't compete for Jiang Xia's attention; after all, she was their mother.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "I'll go sit over at the Shipyard. I asked them to reserve a spot for me. You didn't know I was coming, so you didn't arrange a seat for me, right?"
Jiang Mu, upon hearing this, didn't pay much attention to her, mainly because she was unaware that Jiang Xia would be coming, and indeed, she hadn't arranged a seat for her.
Of course, if Jiang Xia didn't have a seat, she could still find one for her.
Now that Jiang Xia had a spot, she could sit wherever she liked.
Jiang Xia thanked several factory directors again and expressed that she had asked the Shipyard to reserve a spot for her, so she would sit there and not occupy others' seats.
Zhou Fangzhang saw Jiang Xia's unwavering choice of their side and felt that the employee welfare housing they had applied for was worth it.
Xu Fangzhang also felt that the discounted offer they gave was worth it!
Fang Aiyuan smiled and patted Jiang Xia, saying, "Next time, remember to sit with Aunt Fang!"
Jiang Xia smiled and agreed, then walked to the Shipyard's designated area and sat down next to Zhou Fangzhang, in the same row as the two major factory directors.
Wen Wan watched as Jiang Xia sat in the first row, side by side with the factory directors, and pursed her lips, feeling disdain in her heart.
No wonder Jiang Xia didn't want to work as a translator for just one factory, asking for a salary but no commission.
She had already heard from the Textile Factory that Jiang Xia didn't want a fixed salary but a commission because she wasn't working as a translator for just one factory; she was working for several factories at the same time.
Working as a part-time translator for several factories at once, asking for a commission instead of a salary, could mean one of two things: either she was truly capable and confident in her sales skills, believing she could secure orders and earn a substantial commission, or she lacked true ability, feared being exposed, and couldn't work independently, but still wanted to take advantage of the situation to make a quick profit.
Jiang Xia, who had failed the college entrance exams three times and only got a translation job through her father's connections, was undoubtedly the latter.
Wen Wan now understood Jiang Xia's intentions.
So she knew that Jiang Xia would make a fortune at this Guangzhou Trade Fair.
There was nothing she could do; Jiang Xia was just lucky, and every factory was probably happy to give her the business.
Looking around the conference room, everyone was vying to pull her to their side, and Wen Wan could guess why.
Was it because Jiang Xia was capable?
Who would believe that?
Wen Wan secretly heightened her vigilance, realizing that she would have to be cautious of Jiang Xia to prevent her from taking advantage of the situation.
Although Wen Wan was on a fixed salary and didn't receive commissions, she didn't want to let Jiang Xia benefit from her hard work.
Jiang Xia was chatting with the two factory directors.
All three of them had smiles on their faces, and Jiang Xia's smile was sweet and confident.
Everyone couldn't help but look at her, and she didn't shy away.
Wen Wan averted her gaze, not wanting to see her fake smile.
Fang Aiyuan walked towards Jiang Mu and greeted her with a smile.
Jiang Mu smiled and asked, "The translator you invited is Xia Xia? That child didn't tell me."
Fang Aiyuan smiled and said, "I wanted to invite her as a translator, but she refused. She said she wanted to work for several factories. Didn't you see how everyone just now wanted her to sit with them?"
Jiang Mu, who had arrived last and indeed hadn't seen it, frowned upon hearing this. Jiang Xia's ambition had grown so much? Working as a translator for several factories at once, what could she possibly accomplish?
But she didn't say anything more. She wouldn't speak ill of her daughter in front of others. She simply said, "She just loves to play! She's just here to see the world. How could she be a translator? By the way, how many translators did you invite this time?"
Fang Aiyuan replied, "We didn't invite any. Jingxuan said he could come back and work as my translator."
Jiang Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but glance in Jiang Xia's direction again.
She smiled nonchalantly and said, "Jingxuan is such a good child! He's becoming more and more capable, unlike Jiang Dong, who is just a fool!"
Fang Aiyuan said, "Jiang Dong is a good child too. I heard from Jingxuan..."
The two of them praised each other's children for a while until the meeting was about to start, and Fang Aiyuan returned to her seat.
