These past two days, besides studying diligently at school to prepare for the joint entrance exam, Jiang Xiaoli's most anticipated activity every day is going to the factory to check the sales rankings.

The once blank list is now filled with numbers. In just four days, the 10 groups signed a total of 620,000 yuan in sales contracts.

A total of 79 sales were completed, all of which resulted in successful orders. A small number of these sales also led to long-term supply contracts with local supermarkets and stores.

Jiang Xiaoli pointed to the list on the wall, "This is a channel we've worked hard to establish, so we must maintain it well. It will save us a lot of trouble when we launch other products and promote them later."

Zong Jiayu wrote down her words: "Someone came to our door today saying they wanted to advertise for us. Do you think it's necessary?"

She shook her head. "Since spicy strips have a low unit price, we won't consider advertising for now. We'll stick to the ground promotion model and let the sales staff earn the money. We can talk about advertising later when we promote other products with higher unit prices."

“Okay, this round of promotion within the province should be finished by the weekend. Next, I’d like to keep 3 people in each group and move the rest to other places.” Zong Jia wanted to ask for her opinion.

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Okay, let's keep the person in charge of following up on this regional market and confirm the commission distribution ratio for the initial sales in this region."

Zong Jiayu smiled and nodded, "I talked to Uncle Wei about this today, and we'll come up with a plan for you to see this weekend."

She chuckled, "I'm quite content being a hands-off boss!"

Looking at her happy little expression, Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "Little Boss Jiang, don't be stingy when you give us our dividends."

Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand dismissively, "Am I that kind of person? No way!"

She patted him on the shoulder, "The joint exam is tomorrow, have you made any arrangements at the factory?"

Zong Jiayu rubbed his temples. "Well, I'll have to trouble Uncle Wei for the next two days. I'll come over every afternoon to see if there's anything I need to take care of."

"Okay." After looking at the sales list, she asked as she walked out, "How's the recruitment going these past few days? Have you selected any assistants?"

"Let's take another look. I don't think any of the recent applicants are quite suitable."

The factory recently posted job openings, and the high salaries offered by the food factory sales staff have attracted many young people.

However, neither Zong Jia nor the assistant to the deputy factory director met his hiring standards.

Jiang Xiaoli glanced at him and said, "Tell me what kind of person you're looking for."

“Actually, my requirements aren’t high.” Zong Jia sighed. “I just want to find someone with a higher level of education, train them, and arrange for them to be in management in the future.”

The factory is developing very rapidly and is now in dire need of management.

She nodded. "Is it because you meet the educational requirements but don't want to be just a junior assistant?"

"Yes." Zong Jiayu felt helpless when he thought of this.

Jiang Xiaoli suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "We don't need to be so strict about academic qualifications. If you're quick-witted, I have someone in mind."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

She pushed open the door to Zong Jiayu's office and poured herself a glass of water with practiced ease. "That's Han Xue, the manager of the steamed bun shop. She was your classmate, remember?"

Zong Jia remembered that such a person existed after she reminded him.

He hesitated for a moment, "I think I should find a male assistant, it would be more convenient for work."

Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "What's wrong with girls? Putting aside the fact that she only went to work at the steamed bun shop because of you, just look at her performance back then. I thought she was a quick-witted person who was very good at planning. Our steamed bun shop's development is just like this. I think it's a bit of a waste to leave her there."

Zong Jia hesitated for a moment and then said, "Alright, since you've said so, I'll have Pumpkin ask her what she thinks."

She sipped her water. "Do you think our next step should be to promote it province by province, like we did this time, or to do it simultaneously in several provinces?"

"I think considering transportation issues, it's definitely better to focus on promoting it in one province to save costs. However, promoting it in multiple provinces together can help open up new opportunities. There are advantages and disadvantages to both," Zong Jiayu analyzed.

Jiang Xiaoli's eyes darted around. "If multiple provinces were to promote this together, do you think our production capacity could keep up?"

Zong Jia took out the workshop production schedule and looked at it. "Assuming that other provinces have similar order volumes as us, without purchasing new machinery and equipment, and with the workshop machines running non-stop and workers working in three shifts, we can supply the orders of four to five provinces at the same time."

She sighed, "The pressure on the machinery and equipment is too great. Let's not be so reckless. We can expand into two provinces at the same time, and then consider purchasing some more machinery and equipment at the end of the month. That way, the pressure won't be so great next month."

Zong Jia nodded in agreement. "Yes, I think that's a good idea. I'll arrange it like this when the sales staff come back this weekend."

The two discussed the company's next development plan for a while, then Jiang Xiaoli looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Oh dear, it's already 9 o'clock. Let's call it a day."

Zong Jia took a taxi to send her home. "Little Pear, good luck on your exam tomorrow. See you on the list."

Jiang Xiaoli gave her an OK sign, "No problem, see you on the list. Go back and get some rest, goodnight."

When Li Guizhi got home, she had just arrived as well. "I was just about to go to the convenience store to call the factory. Why are you so late today?"

She put down her schoolbag. "Well, I chatted with Zong Jiayu for a while about the later promotional plans. Mom, how was class today?"

Li Guizhi said with a smile, "The teacher's explanation was very good. It's just that I haven't learned anything in a long time, so I definitely need an adjustment period. Let's take it slow."

"Mom, you're the best!" Jiang Xiaoli cheered her on.

Two students squeezed together to wash up, and Li Guizhi couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really getting old, I forget so many things as soon as I learn them."

Jiang Xiaoli had no idea what she was learning. "Mom, don't worry. You're learning something new. It's bound to be difficult at first, but you'll get the hang of it."

"That's true, this can't be rushed. Your Aunt Xu has been making me learn English words these past few days. Oh dear, my brain is all mush."

"Haha." She picked up a towel and wiped her face. "Mom, I can help you with this. After my exam the day after tomorrow, I'll practice with you."

Li Guizhi smiled and nodded, "Your Aunt Xu said so too, so you and Xiaoyu will be our study companions from now on."

Jiang Xiaoli blinked and smiled at her, "With the two of us tutoring you, you two must be the students with the best English scores in your class!"

Li Guizhi smiled and hugged her daughter, "Haha, then I'll wait for you to teach me!"
