?51: Chapter 51 Factory 51: Chapter 51 Factory Zhou Jiajia, who was standing at the doorway in a daze, came back to her senses, looked behind her, and smiled, “Director An!

    You’ve arrived!”

    “Once we’re out of the company, there’s no need for titles; just relax.”

    “But we haven’t left the company yet!” Zhou Jiajia replied.

    Even though she and An Qi were close confidantes outside of work, they were still in the company, so a hierarchy had to be maintained.

    “You’re always the serious one!”

    With a slight reprimand, An Qi linked arms with Zhou Jiajia and walked out of the building.

    Watching this scene, Lin Yifan was rather surprised.

    He hadn’t expected the two to be friends; he had thought Zhou Jiajia was just one of An Qi’s subordinates.

    Following An Qi, he quickly located the car.

    It was a Maserati presidential model luxury sedan with a stunning exterior and exquisite interior.

    After taking out the key and unlocking the car, he opened the door for An Qi and Zhou Jiajia.

    Having seen both ladies into the car, he then opened the door to the driver’s seat and drove off.

    “Director An!

    What’s the factory address?”

    He knew they were heading to an Antian Group factory, but he didn’t know the precise location.

    “Xicheng District, Xijiang Second Road, Antian Technology Industrial Park,” An Qi answered.

    Lin Yifan activated the navigation system and chose voice input to enter the location.

    Soon, the navigation system found the location and provided a route.

    With the route defined, Lin Yifan knew where to go and focused on driving.

    After about an hour, they finally arrived at the Antian Technology Industrial Park.

    The security guard at the gate, seeing Director An’s car, quickly opened the barrier to let them through.

    Driving into the industrial park, Lin Yifan noticed that it was enormous, likely spanning thousands of square meters, larger than several middle schools combined.

    Making lefts and rights following An Qi’s directions, he smoothly arrived in front of a large building.

    After parking the car, he got out along with An Qi and Zhou Jiajia.

    The leaders waiting in front of the building immediately welcomed Director An with smiling faces as she got out of the car.

    “Sis!

    You finally made it!

    I was worried something might have happened to you,” one of them said.

    The speaker was a sleazy-looking man with tiny eyes.

    He was An Qi’s cousin, An Huaixing.

    Thanks to his father and elder brother’s recommendations, he had become the person in charge of the factory and its top leader.

    “Do you really wish something had happened to me?” An Qi replied irritably.

    She had a strong dislike for this sleazy man and would have replaced An Huaixing if not for her uncle and cousin’s influence.

    Moreover, ever since learning that her uncle could be among those who wronged her, she had grown even less fond of her uncle’s family.

    “Sis!

    I’m just worried about you, nothing else,” An Huaixing responded, looking somewhat aggrieved.

    “Stop babbling and take me inside,” An Qi commanded, not willing to engage in further conversation with An Huaixing.

    An Huaixing was upset by An Qi’s cold demeanor, but since the company wasn’t yet in his family’s hands, he had to obey her.

    So he quickly scurried ahead to lead the way.

    Watching this sycophantic, sleazy man with a large mole at the corner of his mouth made Lin Yifan feel disgusted.

    How could such a person become a factory leader?

    Was it by mere flattery?

    Moreover, this sycophant kept leering at Zhou Jiajia, who was mature and attractive, standing next to An Qi, clearly harboring ill intentions.

    “How’s the production of the Tianyao V6 phone?

    Is the stock sufficient?” An Qi asked as she walked upstairs.

    The Tianyao V6 phone was a major source of income for their company, so nothing could go wrong.

    “Production is going very smoothly, and we have plenty of stock,” An Huaixing replied.

    “How much is in stock?” An Qi pressed.

    “Five hundred thousand units!”

    “Why so few?” An Qi’s expression soured.

    With current sales volumes, five hundred thousand units would be sold out in less than a month, so she found the stock levels too low to meet demand.

    “Sis!

    How can you say that’s few?

    The workers have been working overtime for two months to produce them; we can’t do any more,” An Huaixing said.

    “Tianyao V6 phone sales are very strong; we must have large stockpiles.

    Try to increase production,” An Qi explained.

    “Alright!

    I’ll urge the departments to coordinate their efforts later to boost production in the shortest time possible.”

    “Yes!

    But be careful not to push them too hard, or it could backfire,” An Qi warned.

    “Understood!”

    Upon reaching the third floor and turning left, the group arrived at a spacious production workshop.

    At that moment, the workshop was filled with people, each engrossed in their tasks.

    This workshop was dedicated to installing the processors in the smartphones, and it had to be a dust-free environment; thus, anyone entering had to wear specially made factory clothing and gloves.

    Once suited up, An Qi entered the dust-free workshop to conduct her inspection.

    As she walked, she carefully observed the production staff on both sides, noting that there were no significant issues and everything was proceeding well.

    Meanwhile, Lin Yifan curiously surveyed his surroundings, watching the production of the smartphones.

    He realized that despite their compact size, smartphones required incredibly high production standards; a single minor error could lead to complete failure.

    “With so many phones, what’s the cost of each one, and how much do they sell for?” Lin Yifan wondered, eager to understand this issue.

    Finding no issues with production, An Qi led the group out of the dust-free workshop.

    Once outside, she asked An Huaixing, “How’s the development of the new product going?”

    “We’re still in the first phase, but it will be completed soon,” An Huaixing answered.

    “Two months and still in the first phase of development?

    What’s going on?” An Qi was angry and very dissatisfied with the pace of work.

    “The waterproof feature has always been difficult to develop; even with some proposed solutions and research technology, it’s impossible to make it happen quickly,” An Huaixing explained.

    He too was eager to obtain the waterproof technology.
