Chapter 43 Factory Establishment

"Plus, I've also noticed the plight of many military wives. They all want to share some of the work at home so they can earn more money to supplement their household expenses. But as you can see, our island is so small, it's impossible for everyone to have work."

"I'm thinking, if we gather these women who want to supplement their family income and take advantage of our local resources, and if you think this medicinal soap is good, can we have them produce it in large quantities?"

"I think this will not only solve the employment problem for our people, but also boost the local economic development. Most importantly, our medicated soap can be sold more widely."

Wu Xuemei's heart was stirred. She had not realized this problem before, but now after hearing Su Jinhui mention it, she realized that there were so many women in their island who were in trouble.

As a woman herself, she naturally wants to help more women realize their own value.

"No problem, but I can't promise you yet. I really need to try this medicated soap for a while before I can tell you."

"That's great. It's been hot in the summer recently. If you feel like you're getting mosquito bites frequently, use this mosquito repellent and itching soap."

"Or if you've had irregular periods recently, you can also use this blood-activating and menstrual-regulating soap."

She explained the effects to Wu Xuemei and then left.

That night, Wu Xuemei used a piece of mosquito repellent and anti-itch soap. When she went to bed at night, she usually used a fan to fan herself to repel mosquitoes.

Moreover, there were no mosquito coils in those days. To avoid mosquito bites, the most convenient ways were to use a fan or a mosquito net.

But there are always some holes in the mosquito net, through which mosquitoes can get through, which often causes great annoyance to people who are about to fall asleep.

That night, Wu Xuemei slept very well and she heard the buzzing of mosquitoes.

But there is not a single red spot on the skin.

After getting up the next day, she looked in the mirror and was suddenly surprised to find that her face was always oily when she got up, but today her face seemed to be less oily.

The key point is that she slept very well last night and was not bitten by mosquitoes. At first, Wu Xuemei thought it was just a coincidence.

But after using it for a while, she found that it was really effective in repelling mosquitoes.

At noon, everyone went to the cafeteria to eat. Su Jinhui was packing up in the office. When she was about to go, Wu Xuemei suddenly came to the door and said, "Doctor Su, I'm sorry to bother you in the middle of the day."

"Director Wu, please take a seat. Are you feeling unwell?"

Wu Xuemei shook her head and looked at Su Jinhui excitedly. "I came to you to talk to you about those bars of medicated soap you gave me last time."

"To be honest, I've tried it these past few days, and it's really effective. Plus, I've been thinking deeply about the issues you raised. I think this is a very meaningful thing to do, and if possible, I'd like to implement it as soon as possible."

Suddenly, Su Jinhui smiled happily.

What she did was finally recognized by the other party.

However, there was one thing Wu Xuemei was still unclear about. "This plan is feasible, but how do you make this herbal soap?"

"I can provide technical guidance and formulas, but the herbal photos are my personal property, so I can only provide the basic formula. The core formula needs to be kept confidential."

Wu Xuemei nodded. Of course she could understand this. After all, it was Su Jinhui's own research and of course it had to be kept secret. Otherwise, if everyone learned this method, it would no longer be Su Jinhui's original creation.

"That's no problem. I'll report to my superiors right away and try to secure a venue."

After she left, Wu Xuemei worked extremely efficiently. With the organization and coordination of the Women's Federation director and her efforts, the "Island Military and Civilian Workshop" was quickly approved and established.

Moreover, they chose to use the idle old barracks of the army as the site, and the Women's Federation also began to recruit military wives who were willing to work to participate in the production.

Su Jinhui is responsible for technical guidance, quality control and the secret supply of raw materials. Most of these core medicinal materials come from space cultivation.

The director of the Women's Federation is responsible for management and sales, mainly for internal supplies within the military region and exporting through the supply and marketing cooperative system.

And carry out ideological work for the people and soldiers on the island.

The news of the factory recruiting workers quickly spread throughout the island.

Those military wives who had some free time at home came to sign up. After hearing the news, the military wives who had previously asked Su Jinhui to help with their medical expenses also came to sign up, fearing that they would miss this opportunity.

I also heard that this factory was recommended by Su Jinhui to the Women's Federation. Everyone was very grateful to Su Jinhui. Her reputation spread more widely on the island. Everyone called Su Jinhui a living Bodhisattva. If it weren't for her, many people would have to stay at home to take care of children and do needlework all their lives.

But this would be a meaningless life for them.

When Liu Ruolan heard about Su Jinhui's recent affairs, her face was twisted with jealousy, and she even threw things on the table to the ground to vent her anger at home.

"What are you doing? These things didn't bother you at all. If you break them, I have to buy new ones."

Liu Ruolan's mother looked at the things on the ground with distress. "I just don't understand why everyone believes Su Jinhui's lies now. She even set up that factory, and so many people signed up. Isn't she afraid of being cheated by her?"

"And those herbal soaps she makes, can they be used on the body? I can just wash them away when the problem arises."

Mother Liu looked at Liu Ruolan helplessly. If it were before, she would have no objection to what she said, but it was different now. Su Jinhui was not only the family member of an officer, but also the attending physician of the military hospital. Now she had cooperated with the Women's Federation to set up a factory. She was no longer someone Liu Ruolan could compare with.

But this silly girl is completely unaware and is only interested in comparing herself with others.

"I really don't know why you hate Su Jinhui. Otherwise, you should just humble yourself and apologize to her. Who knows, you might even be able to work in the factory. This is better than having better talent."

Liu Ruolan was shocked. "You know I hate her, right? If it weren't for her, how could Brother Li An ignore me? I'm the officer's family member, it's all her fault... It's all her fault!"

"I will never bow down to her in my life, never!"

"Whatever you want, just stop smashing things in the house."

After a week of production, the medicated soap sold well, and because of its good efficacy and affordable price, it quickly became a hit and was in short supply.

Wu Xuemei was so happy when she heard the news that she couldn't stop smiling. She even came over to share the good news with Su Jinhui.

"Jinhui, you are really something."

"I didn't expect so many people would buy this soap once it went on sale. They all gave it good reviews after using it. Some even told me they want you to develop more scents and styles because they're no longer satisfied with the current ones."

Su Jinhui also had this idea. Only continuous innovation can retain consumers and better drive the local economy.
