Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Regardless of what Fang Xiuying grumbled, Wang An had to leave anyway. He patted Fang Xiuying's head and strode away.

After Wang An left, Fang Xiuying was like she had been injected with chicken blood, full of fighting spirit, and immediately began to act according to Wang An's instructions.

Previously, Fang Xiuying was rather timid and hesitant in her actions, afraid of offending this person or that person, and always thinking that harmony was the most important thing and that everyone should get along as long as they could.

With Wang An's reprimand and support, Fang Xiuying had more to do than before, but she felt like she had "the sea is wide enough for fish to leap and the sky is high enough for birds to fly".

As for how to treat the factory employees, it's a matter of "those who obey me prosper, those who defy me perish." Fang Xiuying's current attitude is:

"I'm the factory manager. If any of you dare to argue with us again, I'll deal with you to death."

Fang Xiuying first led a group of people to the security office to check on Director Cai's statements. Then, she took a group of security guards to the canteen and chatted with the cooks for more than an hour. After chatting with the cooks, Fang Xiuying retrieved the purchase bills and fund flows for the past year.

Finally, he directly instructed his subordinates to submit materials and evidence to the procuratorate on charges of embezzlement, accepting kickbacks, threatening employees, falsifying accounts, and covering up crimes.

Director Cai and three of the people who pleaded for him were officially handed over to Zhang Shuya and her group.

When Zhang Shuya heard that it was an economic case involving a pharmaceutical factory, and that Wang An had instructed Fang Xiuying to do so, she naturally gave all four maggots the maximum penalty.

As for the other three people who pleaded for Director Cai but were not involved in the corruption, Fang Xiuying, following Wang An's instructions, compensated them with three months' salary and dismissed them.

Fang Xiuying showed no mercy to this kind of person who relied on his seniority, pleaded for the corrupt officials, and disregarded the factory's interests.

There was nothing she could do. Wang An had already taught her what to do. If she continued to be stubborn, she would have to slap herself a few times.

Although Fang Xiuying dared to joke with Wang An and even call him a big pig's trotter, she was genuinely afraid of him, a fear that ran deep in her bones.

In the following month, Fang Xiuying basically ignored production matters and instead focused on cleaning up those contestants who were just going through the motions at work.

No matter who planted them or what kind of powerful family background they had, if they didn't work properly, Fang Xiuying would fire and dismiss them all without the slightest hesitation.

Fang Xiuying managed to lay off more than 70 people from the factory, which had a total of 300 employees, accounting for more than a quarter of the total workforce.

Strangely enough, after these 70-plus people were removed, the work efficiency of the various workshops in the pharmaceutical factory actually increased!
It is clear that the presence of these 70-plus people not only failed to create value for the pharmaceutical factory, but also negatively impacted the work enthusiasm of other workers in the factory.

What was unexpected was that after the cleanup was over, Fang Xiuying left behind a very江湖-like nickname among the workers at the pharmaceutical factory: "Extinction Fairy".

This nickname is obviously given by a Jin Yong fan.

Because her original nickname was actually "Extinction Master". Although Fang Xiuying's appearance was not as stunning as Mu Xueqing and Sun Nian, anyone who saw her would be instantly amazed.

Furthermore, the workers that Fang Xiuying dismissed were all good-for-nothings who were just loafing around and waiting to die. As long as they worked diligently, including those who weren't particularly diligent, Fang Xiuying, the factory manager, didn't touch a single one.

So, the workers who were able to stay in the factory and continue working gave Fang Xiuying a new nickname, changing "Master" to "Fairy", calling her "Extinction Fairy"!

While Fang Xiuying was working hard at the factory to earn her title of "Extinction Fairy"...

Wang An has already driven to Fang Xiu'e's place.

Because he had been delayed discussing the pharmaceutical factory with Fang Xiuying, when Wang An arrived at Fang Xiu'e's residence, Fang Xiu'e had already opened the door and come out of the yard, on her way to work at the county hospital.

Fortunately, Wang An and Fang Xiu'e happened to run into each other. Upon seeing Wang An arrive, Fang Xiu'e seemed very happy, but said with a hint of complaint:

"I thought you'd forgotten about me."

Wang An chuckled and jumped out of the car. After looking around and finding no one, he opened his arms and hugged Fang Xiu'e tightly.

Then, Wang Ancai said:

"I haven't been fully recovered from my injury for long. A few days ago, we went to Anguo again. I just had some free time and came here. I was supposed to come this morning, but something happened at the pharmaceutical factory, and I was helping Sister Ying come up with some ideas."

Fang Xiu'e didn't speak, but quietly nestled in Wang An's arms, trying 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 traditional Chinese medicine practitioners don’t have much to do this afternoon. Could you drive me to the hospital so I can talk to my supervisor?”

Wang An nodded with a wicked grin, reached out and patted Fang Xiu'e's shapely buttocks, and said:

"Then get in the car, let's hurry up and get there."

And so, Fang Xiu'e locked the gate, and the two of them got into a car and headed to the hospital together.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Fang Xiue got out of the car and ran straight to her office. Wang An watched her hurried figure and couldn't help but smile with amusement.

It's clear that Fang Xiu'e is really itching to get rid of this!

Before Wang An had even finished his cigarette, Fang Xiu'e ran out of the hospital office again.

Running back and forth, Fang Xiu'e's face was slightly flushed and she was panting heavily. Her cotton-padded coat rose and fell with her breath, which made Wang An's mind wander.

And so, the buttons on the cotton-padded coat simply disappeared.

Noticing Wang An's burning gaze and his restless hands, Fang Xiu'e said, both amused and exasperated:

"Hey, you've seen it before, why are you so pathetic? Let's go."

Wang An chuckled, sensed the unusual ripples for a moment, and said:

"I just realized what 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' means now, just like how we are now, don't you think?"

Fang Xiu'e looked nervously out the car window and couldn't help but say coquettishly:
"Oh dear, let's hurry up and leave. There are so many people outside. What if someone sees us?"

Wang An laughed, withdrew his large hand, pressed the clutch to shift gears, released the clutch and pressed the accelerator, twisted the steering wheel to turn around, and the GAZ truck let out a fierce roar as it drove back towards Fang Xiu'e's residence.

To be fair, while this old GAZ engine is quite fuel-inefficient, its torque and power are absolutely phenomenal, just like Wang An right now, who feels like he has inexhaustible strength. (End of Chapter)
