278 Kidnapping
However, there was nothing else Yu Bing could do, so she still had to continue to persuade her nicely. After all, she was in charge of the shops in the area of Pure Bottle Road.
“Director Wu, doesn’t taking the products to their offices to display have the effect? It’s just that one is placed in the shop, and the other is taken out, but the essence of it hasn’t changed.”
When Director Wu heard this, she thought about it and felt that it made sense. However, she felt that the rules didn’t allow this. After thinking for a long time, she still refused, “No, the rules don’t say that offices can display products. Only shops that sell products to outsiders can.”
Yu Bing felt that she was about to go crazy. This young lady was so young, so why couldn’t she think things through? She took a deep breath and continued, “Director Wu, there’s no rule that says that it can’t be displayed, right?”
Director Wu was stunned. This… seemed to be the case. However, she thought of the principle her father had told her. She had to be impartial when enforcing the rules and she was responsible for every decision she made. Hence, she rejected righteously once again, “Don’t think about bending the rules. If the rules didn’t specify you can, it means you can’t do it.”
When the bell rang, Director Wu began to pack her things and prepare to get off work. Yu Bing could only go back and think of another way before coming back tomorrow.
They had already paid the rent deposit and the renovation deposit. After spending so much money, they had to set up this office.
The next morning, Yu Bing came over herself while Xiao Sheng was in charge of supervising the shop.
After the sky turned dark, Xiao Sheng watched as Yu Bing returned angrily. As soon as she saw him, she started to curse, “Director Wu is simply crazy! She’s only in her early twenties, but she’s as stubborn as an old man!”
“Not only did she refuse to give us an office with a display function, but she even asked me to return to Pingjiang County to re-apply for the approval form first. She said that the word ‘display’ can’t appear on it. This is the first time I’ve seen such a stubborn person. At the end of the day, she’s afraid of taking responsibility! However, she has no idea about the difficulties we low-level personnel face. She’s an ordinary officer, so if she’s afraid of taking responsibility, she can look for the higher-ups for special approval! She has no right to refuse to look for her superior and pass the buck with me!”
This was the first time Xiao Sheng had seen Yu Bing so angry. Her voice was so loud that he didn’t dare to make a sound.
Half an hour later, after Yu Bing finished complaining, Xiao Sheng said gently, “I’ll go with you tomorrow and see if there’s any other way to resolve this matter.”
Since Yu Bing and Director Wu quarreled in the office today, it was indeed unsuitable for her to go tomorrow. Thinking about it, she decided to let Xiao Sheng try.
On the other side, Director Wu, Wu Ling, was being reprimanded by her father at home. Mr. Wu was the deputy director of the City C Commerce Bureau. After knowing that Wu Ling had quarreled with the staff, he asked about the exact situation after dinner. After all, it had a negative impact on the bureau.
Mr. Wu’s expression darkened when he heard the cause and effect. “Wu Ling, is this what I taught you?”
Wu Ling was already in a bad mood after the argument with Yu Bing. When she heard that her father was blaming her, she was puzzled and aggrieved. “Dad, what’s wrong with what I did? I followed the rules impartially. What did I do wrong?”
As Mrs. Wu watched cartoons with her son, she listened to their conversation. She was also very troubled by her daughter’s inflexibility, but she still had to protect her daughter after all. Seeing that her husband was about to flare up, she hurriedly said, “Talk to the child nicely.”
When Mr. Wu saw his wife stop him, he suppressed his anger. “This isn’t called enforcing the rules impartially. This is called passing the buck. You’re so inflexible!”
“What’s wrong with what the other person said? Aren’t these two things of the same nature? Which sentence can you refute? Just like you said, the rules didn’t specify anything. If you don’t know what to do and are afraid that you’ve made the wrong decision, then go to your superiors instead of refuting them! You can’t even find theoretical evidence to support your point of view. Why right do you have to say that you’re right and that the other party is wrong?”
Wu Ling subconsciously wanted to retort, but she didn’t know how to. “I…”
Seeing that his daughter had nothing to say, Mr. Wu continued, “She said that she came from a neighboring city to set up an office, but you told her to go back and redo the process again? Aren’t you causing trouble for her? The documents they gave her are just a reference. The key is what the documents we approved are. You’re making things difficult for her.”
