Jiang Manyue complained to Lu Fan, "She rambled on and on about nothing. I really don't know how the Gu family raised her. Why doesn't she pursue her career and instead insists on becoming someone's mistress?"

Lu Fan almost spat out his hot tea when he heard Jiang Manyue's last sentence.

He looked at his wife, who was eating a snack, with a scrutinizing gaze: "Hey, how did you know?"

Jiang Manyue was taken aback by the question, then suddenly realized what she meant and glared at him coldly: "Did she really say that, or did she actually do it?"

"You've got some nerve, daring to steal my man!"

She wasn't this angry even when she knew Gu Ying had come to provoke her.

They were so angry they were practically dying, and even Lu Fan got his arm pinched hard.

Lu Fan feigned pain, crying out "Ouch, ouch!"

"This has nothing to do with me. Don't you know how charming the man you chose is? You should be secretly happy about it. You even dared to commit domestic violence against your husband."

The couple chattered and joked around, sometimes shouting and sometimes teasing each other, creating quite a lively scene.

The internal strife within the Wang family and Gu Ying were ultimately just minor incidents.

After attending the Wang family's engagement banquet, Lu Fan had little contact with the Wang family.

Gu Ying was busy pushing Wang Qishan to become the head of the family, and finally put aside her intention to get close to and please Lu Fan for the time being.

Time flies like an arrow.

As Baiyue Supermarkets have opened all over the country, the Millennium Project is also being implemented at a rapid pace.

Lu's Soy Sauce Food Factory caught this fast train, and its turnover increased day by day.

Very soon.

Baiyue Supermarket has more than 30 flagship stores in various provinces alone, and the total number of stores exceeds 200.

Lu's soy sauce is almost unable to supply the supermarkets and convenience stores under its rapidly expanding group.

and.

Despite several expansions of its workshops and the addition of production lines, Lu's soy sauce factory still faces a shortage of supply due to the nationwide purchasing power.

With only one factory in Nanshan City, it's no longer enough to keep up with the pace of Baiyue and Millennium.

It seems that setting up production bases in other regions is now an urgent matter.

For this matter, Lu Fan specially recalled Wang Wei, who had been traveling around inspecting stores, from her hometown.

Wang Wei arrived in the conference hall in a flurry of activity.

All the leaders of the management team were present.

Lu Fan nodded to everyone, gesturing for them to sit down:

"The topic of today's meeting is the same as what everyone is thinking: the expansion of the soy sauce factory and the layout of the production base."

The management team each had their own agendas, and having already reached the ceiling of their careers, they lacked ambition in this matter.

But they didn't, though their deputies did.

If they were to set up production bases in other provinces or regions, that transfer would put them at the same level as their current superiors.

This naturally gives rise to a lot of competition.

Lu Fan never opposed healthy competition among his employees. He believed that if they valued gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility, they should stay home and pursue their studies instead of doing business.

Wang Wei spoke first, proudly reporting the impressive sales figures of Lu's Soy Sauce Factory over the past two months.

Lu Fan then took the opportunity to praise their sales department and the outstanding employees present.

Then he gestured for Jiang Manyue to take charge of the overall situation.

After all, he is only the boss in name; Jiang Manyue is the one who actually manages the food factory.

Jiang Manyue nodded to him, and amidst the eager expressions of the crowd, she smiled and said:

"As subsidiaries of the Lu family, thanks to the efforts of everyone in the sales and marketing departments, our food factory has followed in the footsteps of Millennium and Baiyue and has completely expanded its distribution nationwide."

"Sales are getting better day by day, but this has also exposed many problems."

"The primary problem is that Baiyue's current order volume has already reached the production limit of the food factory."

"Besides Baiyue, Millennium is also developing rapidly, and other distributors across the country are also contacting the factory to plan for distribution and procurement."

"But we don't have any extra production capacity. Right now, both the workers and the machines are running non-stop and are almost smoking. This can't go on for long. Expansion is an urgent matter!"

Wang Wei smiled at Jiang Manyue and said to the other members of management:

"Vice President Jiang and I have discussed the plan to add several production bases for our food factory across the country by selecting locations."

"Next, it's not just our sales department that will have to relocate some sales staff; other departments also need to coordinate and decide whether to create new positions through internal promotions or by hiring externally."

Some people care about whether they'll get a raise, others about whether they'll get a promotion. Ultimately, a thriving company is a good thing for everyone!

Today's meeting was just a preliminary meeting. The next step is for the managers of each department to go back and write applications and reports to recommend people to their superiors.

The issue of personnel allocation has been addressed, while the issue of base construction needs to be addressed even earlier.

The production base involves a series of issues, and Baiyue also has a logistics chain that extends like nerves and blood vessels, so there is not much room for choice in where to choose a location.
