Director Guo's head was buzzing with questions. No matter what he said about appeasement, no one believed him. They just demanded that work start. As long as work started, they would get paid. They didn't care about anything else. Whether the director made a loss or not was not their concern.

The other leaders in the factory all bypassed Director Guo and entered the factory.

Director Guo was so tired of talking that no one would let him go. They had to give him an exact start time. In order to get rid of the problem as soon as possible, Director Guo said that everyone should come to work on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Only then did the workers let him go.

Director Guo came into the office, was so angry that he threw his briefcase, and immediately called all the leaders to a meeting.

"I've already told the workers that work will start on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Please tell us what you think."

The leaders are all watching their own backs. You should solve the problem yourself if you brag about yourself. What are you doing on the 16th day of the first lunar month? The factory has no money to buy raw materials. Even if you produce something, there are no orders. What are you doing? You have to eat it yourself.

Director Guo slammed the table and said, "This is the time when we need you, and you're all silent. What's the meaning? Deputy Director, you were assigned to our food factory by your superiors, don't you have any ideas?"

Director Guo almost pointed at Xingguo's face and said that he was a waste, who just came here to eat and wait for death and did not produce any results.

Xingguo: "Our products need to be upgraded. Our R&D department needs to develop products that are more suitable for the current market. Until then, the workers can only take a break."

Director Guo slammed the table and said, "The workers are all waiting to eat, so who can wait for the R&D department to slowly research? We need to make down-to-earth suggestions, not just empty talk. You start going out to get orders tomorrow. If you don't get any, you'll be given the day off!"

Xingguo did not argue with Director Guo. He just said that the products were old, so there were no orders. If the problem was not solved from the root, how could he get orders? Now the director would not listen to him and thought he was making excuses. It would be better to go out. It was better than being blocked at the door every day.

Seeing that Xingguo did not refute, Director Guo felt that he had punched the cotton ball. In the end, he ordered all the leading cadres to go out and look for orders. If they failed to get orders, the factory would be closed and everyone would be unemployed.

After the meeting, all the cadres in the factory sighed and thought about their own way out.

Xingguo rode his bicycle to the commercial street, strolling around to see if he could find other business opportunities.

There are all kinds of things for sale on the commercial street, and there are a lot of people. Xingguo also bought some old-fashioned cakes and ate them while eating. In the past, it was a planned economy and supply was insufficient, so only factories like theirs could survive. Now people's lives are so convenient, and there are all kinds of things for sale on the street, and consumption is very convenient. Who would still focus on eating old-fashioned bread? Without creativity, they will only be eliminated by society.

Xingguo walked slowly and stopped, and several foreigners passed by him. A woman was introducing the commercial street in fluent English, and he looked back.

The woman also glanced in his direction.

Xingguo was stunned, and the woman was also stunned for a moment, but only for a few seconds. She smiled and nodded at him, and continued to introduce him to the outsiders.

The woman is Wang Yue. She has short, neat hair and speaks fluent English. Now she no longer does business of defrauding foreigners. She has opened a travel agency and specializes in being a tour guide. She is now able to go abroad, but does not want to go.

Neither of them expected to meet again like this, but neither of them wanted to talk.

Time can dilute everything. The love, hate, and grudges of the past are all in the past, and there will be no more love in the future.

Xingguo hung around outside for a few days. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Director Guo did not notify him to start work, and he did not go to the factory. Early in the morning of the 17th day of the first lunar month, a small staff member from the factory came to his home to notify him to go back for a meeting. He was at the factory and did not see Director Guo. It was Mr. Kong, the person in charge of them in the city, who asked him to come to the meeting. There was no one else in the meeting room.

Kong Yuren was sitting in the conference room with a fighting look on his face. Xingguo hurried in and said, "Hello, Kong Yuren!"

"Little boy, sit down, I came to see you today"

Xingguo was puzzled. He had the factory director above him, so why was he called? "Kong Ren, is there a job transfer?"

Kong Yuren... you're overthinking it. Transfer? How can I not be so happy?
