Pregnant and Pampered: The Heiress in a Military Compound

"Especially you! I’ll be watching you and your family."

"..."

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

This was a perfect example.

He knew all too well what his son was like. The boy was just a mediocre worker. His daughter-in-law, on the other hand, was quite capable, but he was more keen on promoting his own son than her...

The man’s face turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, shifting from pale to livid. For a long moment, he was unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

Seeing that there were no further objections, Xie Changning stood up. "Alright, that concludes today’s meeting. If you have any unemployed daughters or daughters-in-law at home, feel free to recommend them."

"But not sons."

Xie Changning’s gaze drifted lightly over to the workshop manager who had just expressed his discontent.

The look sent a chill to the workshop manager’s core.

He knew this was a warning.

Wang Daqiang followed Xie Changning out of the conference room. Trailing behind her, he said, "Your decisions have never been wrong before, so we have no objections. His dissent is his problem. Don’t stoop to his level. Leave him to me."

He would make sure the man was dealt with.

Xie Changning wasn’t angry with the man; she was simply showing him, and everyone else, that her stance on this matter was firm.

If they disagreed, she would simply move the operation elsewhere.

Wang Daqiang’s daughter was studying medicine, so he had some understanding of the situation. "Director, my daughter is a medical student. When she’s on break, she could come to the factory and help educate people about this sort of thing..."

"Oh?"

Hearing Wang Daqiang’s words, Xie Changning looked up, her interest piqued.

She had been thinking the same thing—that after establishing the production line, she would need to find someone to educate the staff on these matters.

"What’s her major?"

"Something like... obstetrics?" Wang Daqiang had heard his daughter mention it, but as a coarse man who’d barely attended school, all he knew was that it was a department specializing in treating women.

Xie Changning nodded in understanding. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

’No wonder Wang Daqiang is so calm about this,’ she thought. ’With a daughter studying obstetrics and gynecology, he’s bound to have a better understanding of the topic.’

"My daughter told me before that they have these convenient, clean, disposable products overseas. I didn’t know what she was talking about, but now I see..." Wang Daqiang was actually quite pleased.

’The women in my family can finally use a product like this,’ he thought. ’It’s so clean and hygienic. They’ll get sick less often!’

Many people might think that you can just take some medicine when you get sick, but having a highly educated daughter in the family had changed Wang Daqiang’s perspective.

Catching and treating a minor illness early might cost a few hundred.

But if you just keep suppressing the symptoms with medicine, it can turn into a major illness later on. Then you’d spend tens of thousands on treatment, with no guarantee of a cure. The cost just wouldn’t be worth it.

That was why Wang Daqiang supported this initiative with both hands.

"There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. As for hiring, I’ll have to ask you to personally supervise it, Uncle Wang. We can’t let anyone take advantage of the situation to slip in," Xie Changning instructed Wang Daqiang.

Wang Daqiang nodded, promising he would complete the task.

After Xie Changning returned to her office, a crowd gathered around Wang Daqiang. Several workshop managers started talking over each other, asking him what the director was thinking.

Wang Daqiang looked at them with a cold expression.

"When have the director’s decisions ever failed? If you all think this is so unreasonable, I can go to her and request that we shut down the production line. Let her find another place to build it."

"Hey, Deputy Director, that’s not what we meant!"

"That’s right! The director is leading us to prosperity, which is a wonderful thing. We’re just afraid the workers will complain..."

"They won’t be complaining to you," Wang Daqiang said, sweeping his cold gaze over them.

’As if I don’t know who put them up to this,’ he thought.

It was no wonder the director didn’t want to hire men. Looking at their foolish, hidebound expressions, he knew they would never be attentive enough on the production line.

In the term ’sanitary napkin,’ the word ’sanitary’ is the most important part.

And these men would definitely fail on that front!

"Look at the state of you all. It just proves how wise the director’s decision is. She said if anyone wants to protest, they can go right ahead. She’ll just pack up the production line and leave."

The workshop managers who had stayed silent quickly shook their heads.

They hadn’t gotten involved. This had nothing to do with them.

"Or perhaps some of you feel the factory is being unfair? I can ask the director to arrange a transfer for you to another factory."

’!’ Leave the factory? No way!

The factory was doing better and better. How could they possibly leave now!?

They had only come over to put in a word for someone else; they had no intention of risking their own careers for it. With that, everyone turned and shot discreet glares at the main culprit.

They wouldn’t forget the trouble he had caused them today.

The target of their glares, the main culprit, was slow on the uptake. He finally realized that not only had his petty trick failed, but he had also truly landed on the deputy director’s radar...
