Seeing that Lu Fan agreed with Li Fang's point of view, Jiang Manyue's worry deepened:

"The soy sauce factory issue hasn't been resolved yet, so let's hope the printing factory doesn't cause trouble too."

"There have been so many troubles lately, I think Manager Wang is in a real bind."

She glanced at her husband again and saw that Lu Fan still had a flushed face and was as calm as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Manyue knew that either Lu Fan didn't care about the soy sauce factory, or he already had a solution, which was why he remained calm and composed even when faced with a major crisis.

Li Fang, who was in charge of the printing factory's business, had to prevent the workers from causing trouble again.

"That's why I said that we should print Spring Festival couplets, the character 'Fu' (福, meaning good fortune), posters, and calendars as soon as possible."

"Although it's still a long way from the Lunar New Year, printed materials can be damaged very little if they are stored properly."

"Furthermore, once Lu Fan takes over the printing factory, his business will definitely take off. It's impossible for it to still be in this half-dead state after six months."

Lu Fan chuckled and joked, "Second sister, you're really flattering me."

Even Uncle Lu spoke up: "Hey, what your second sister said is absolutely true. Those soy sauce factory products sold so well a while ago."

Seeing that the conversation was heading towards unpleasant and annoying things, Jiang Manyue quickly changed the subject and returned to the printing factory: "I think Second Sister's suggestion makes a lot of sense."

"If the sales performance really improves and the profits get better, there might not be enough time to rush to finish those calendars and Spring Festival couplets."

"It would be better to listen to Second Sister and start making them now, so that we won't be caught off guard when things get busy or not."

Li Fang smiled kindly at Jiang Manyue:

"That's exactly what I mean. Also, I think the Spring Festival is still a long way off, but some things are coming soon."

Seeing that Jiang Manyue and the other two were looking at her with puzzled expressions, Li Fang didn't want to keep them in suspense and said directly:

"The exams are coming up soon. Your children are still young. The cousins ​​from your third uncle's family have already graduated or started their internships."

"So you've long forgotten about exams like the high school entrance exam and provincial exams, haven't you? It looks like the education department is about to be overwhelmed with work."

Jiang Manyue's eyes lit up when she looked at Li Fang.

I never expected that my second cousin, who used to be just a white-collar clerk, would have such unique insights into business and management. Even my third uncle and Lu Fan, who have been through the business world, were impressed.

Lu Fan nodded slowly, agreeing:

"At first, I was worried that rushing to finish production would delay the factory's cash flow. My second sister also knew that the factory couldn't be revived without our help."

"I can provide financial support to the printing factory, but I understand the principle that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish."

"Continuously paying money to keep the printing plant safe will only turn the employees into a bunch of useless people, who will no longer have the energy to work on production or improve efficiency."

Now, listening to my second sister's plan, the return of funds for things like Spring Festival couplets is late, but it's only a very small expense.

Soon the education department will be there to help keep the employees on their toes.

Moreover, with Wang Mingtang as guarantor, the education department's work is paid in advance, which immediately makes the funds more readily available.

Jiang Manyue was the first to stand up and applaud Li Fang. Lu Fan and his third uncle followed suit, looking at Li Fang with satisfaction. No one had expected that Li Fang, a once unknown white-collar worker, would have such vision and foresight.

Everyone was happy and proud of her.

Uncle Lu couldn't help but sigh:

"Talented horses are common, but discerning judges of horses are rare!"

Li Fang's face flushed red from the compliments. She hesitated for a moment before accepting the praise with grace.

"Alright, it's all thanks to Lu Fan for giving me this opportunity."

"Fourth cousin, I've never thanked you before, but now you should thank me."

Lu Fan laughed heartily: "This is nothing! I'll wait until my whole family becomes successful so we can all come and thank me!"

The office was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation. Several people agreed and approved Li Fang's proposal, allowing the 943 employees to start work as soon as possible and begin printing Spring Festival products.

When have the factory workers ever printed Spring Festival products in the summer?

One by one, they were a little confused and asked the old printing master in the factory for help.

Unfortunately, the printing masters had already heard some news from Li Fang.

They were even more eager than Lu Fan and his group for the factory to improve its profits, hoping that everyone would stay calm and not cause trouble.

Therefore, no one said anything, only that the new boss had received so many orders that they were booked until after the New Year:

"The jobs during the Spring Festival may be small, but even a small fly is still meat, and who would complain about having more money?"

"We're rushing to finish the things for the Spring Festival first. Once that's done, the follow-up work will start, and we'll be busy!"

The workers thought to themselves, "Isn't it good to be busy?"

They're paid by piecework; the more they do, the more they earn. As the experienced workers say, who wouldn't want more money?
