Chapter 249 Qin Xiangxiang refuses to take the blame for the bad idea.

"You're the one who's suited for the challenge! I'm best suited to lying at home and sleeping!"

After Qin Xiangxiang finished talking with Li Jianzhi, she felt uneasy and had a very bad premonition.

Life is full of disappointments... Could it be that this familiar feeling is about to return?

Qin Xiang felt uneasy and took the initiative to call her biological mother, Zhou Aodong, to remind the people at the 316 Textile Factory if they still remembered the promise they made back then: "If I want to be transferred back to Shanghai, the factory must accept me! That was agreed upon back then!"

"Think about it. There's something I want to tell you." Zhou Aodong paused, preparing to give his daughter a heads-up. "Leaders from the Shanghai Light Industry Bureau are coming to our factory for an inspection, and they'll also be visiting Feiyan Textile Factory on your island soon. You'll need to host them, so make a good impression."

"An inspection? What are they going to inspect?"

Zhou Aodong: "The purpose of the inspection is, of course, to select talents. Do you remember the Shangpu Textile Factory in Shanghai? It is an old state-owned textile factory located in the old city. In recent years, due to outdated equipment, rigid management and other problems, its products have been unsalable and it has suffered losses for three consecutive years. The inventory is piled up and the morale of the workers is low... This is a fire that has been lit. The Municipal Light Industry Bureau urgently needs to find a 'firefighter'."

Qin Xiangxiang: "...went to the 316 Textile Factory to look for people? Hmph, I bet no one would want to take over this mess."

"Hmm." Zhou Aodong changed the subject: "That's why I recommended you to the leaders of the Light Industry Bureau, my good daughter Qin Xiangxiang."

Qin Xiangxiang: "??! Mom, I think you've gone crazy!"

"You're just looking for trouble, pushing your daughter into a fire pit. You're dumping a mess that other people don't want on me?"

Zhou Aodong said coolly, "Who told you to be such a good daughter? You're a provincial model worker, and your achievements over the years have been too amazing. Think about it, you're too famous, you know? People are afraid of becoming famous, just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

"I didn't mean to bring you up, but when the leaders of the Light Industry Bureau came to inspect the factory, they wanted to choose someone to clean up the mess. As you can imagine, none of them were willing to take on the job. That's not all. They even brought you up because your performance was too outstanding and you're my daughter."

"Everyone is mentioning you, what can I say? Of course I'll say that my daughter might be able to do it, that you have the ability to bring the dead back to life."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..."

They were hoping that the 316 Textile Factory would take her in, but instead, they collectively ripped her off.

Zhou Aodong: "Think about it, this is a good opportunity for you! If you can save this old textile factory, becoming a national model worker in the future will be a piece of cake!"

Qin Xiangxiang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot: "Don't mention the model worker thing to me!"

Zhou Aodong: "If we raise your salary and benefits, and they really choose you to be the troubleshooter, you should say that you can't bear to leave the old factory, and suggest merging the two factories, with you as the general manager overseeing both branches. What do you think of this?"

"Your newly established factory has led the old factory to regain its vitality."

Zhou Aodong: "Putting everything else aside, the old state-owned factory has a solid foundation! The location is also good. If the two factories merge, your administrative rank will be raised again, and you'll get promoted!"

"If we can save this state-owned factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, protect the jobs of a large number of workers, and maintain social stability, that will be a huge achievement, and you will reap the rewards in the future!"

"Moreover, the higher-ups have also indicated that if you can take on this mess, they will recommend you to study at Shanghai Textile University. As a special talent, you will be allowed to study textile engineering as a day student, and you only need to take the final exam."

Qin Xiangxiang: "..." No, she didn't even want to take the final exam.

The problem is, she doesn't want a promotion or to get rich either!

"No need to recommend me, I won't take on this mess. I've made up my mind, I'm going to take the college entrance exam, and I'm going to take it based on my own ability."

Qin Xiangxiang paused for a moment: "I can consider taking on the mess, but I won't go to university if you recommend me."

Some of the things Zhou Aodong said also tempted Qin Xiangxiang. Of course, what tempted her was not the opportunity to become a joint factory director, but the fact that the Shangpu Textile Factory mentioned by Zhou Aodong was located in the old city, with excellent location conditions. Although the factory buildings were old, this was Shanghai!

If she becomes the joint factory director, she'll build herself a large family apartment in Shanghai, and there are plenty of good restaurants near the old city...

If the two factories were to merge, the food factory affiliated with Feiyan Textile Factory would have a brighter future, and the snacks it produces would have a broader sales prospect in Shanghai.

The island has more fishery and agricultural production resources, while Shanghai, as an industrial base, has a strong foundation in light industry and has an import and export seaport with more imported resources. Combining the two, it may not necessarily be a mess.

“Li Jianzhi, I’ve been tricked. The people at the 316 Textile Factory are really inhuman. They never think of me when there’s a good thing, but they think of me when there’s a mess. They even recommended me to be the factory director of the old textile factory, to reform it, to be the fire chief, to do something like bringing it back to life.”

Li Jianzhi smiled and shook his head, thinking to himself, "You Versailles king."

Qin Xiangxiang had a wild idea in her head: "What do you think about turning this old town textile factory into a food factory?"

Li Jianzhi: "Wife, you're simply a genius!"

Qin Xiangxiang: "???"

"Li Jianzhi, why do you always agree with me when I talk nonsense? Are you being sarcastic?"

Li Jianzhi: "I said you have a good eye for the market. You said this textile factory is in the old city. Are there many residents nearby?"

"Yes, there should be quite a few."

Li Jianzhi: "I've heard that things have changed a lot in Shanghai. Some of the shops that were closed have reopened, and many educated youth who returned to the city can't find jobs, so they set up stalls on the roadside to sell herbal tea. Have you heard of that?"

"Yes, I've heard of it."

Li Jianzhi: "In the future, there will probably be more and more small individual businesses and vendors. The country cannot accommodate so many idle laborers, and it cannot let people go without food. These small vendors will definitely appear in large numbers."

“This textile factory is in the old town. When we demolish the wall and turn it into shops along the street, the factory will be revitalized. We’ll be begging for food while sitting on a gold mine.”

Qin Xiangxiang: "You really dare to dream!"

As expected of Qin Xiangxiang's husband, Qin Xiangxiang hadn't thought of this before. However, according to what Li Jianzhi said, it is indeed possible in the future. If it is in the old city area with many nearby residents, the wall can be demolished and rebuilt as a row of shops as a wall.

That's a valuable factory asset; there's no worry about losing money or going hungry!

From this perspective, revitalizing this factory shouldn't be too difficult; it's a viable option, and it's a goldmine! No matter what you do, you won't lose money.

The economy will definitely open up gradually in the future, and there will be more opportunities in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As long as we can hold on for a few years, the current losses are nothing.

"You've won me over!"

"There are still many delicious foods in this old town. I want to find some talented people to continue running my factory canteen."

"We can also run a guesthouse for the factory!" Qin Xiangxiang had more and more ideas in her mind. She was quite enthusiastic about eating, drinking and having fun, so she planned to run a canteen, a restaurant, a guesthouse, a hotel, and even a dance hall in the future... There would definitely be more and more entertainment facilities in the future.

Since private individuals cannot currently operate restaurants and hotels, then I'll operate factories! I'll accumulate experience.

Li Jianzhi was finally convinced by her: "You still want to fix your cafeteria... Thinking about how well you eat every day, I'm the one who has to complain about being tired."

Qin Xiangxiang: "You can just stand there and be envious. I'll pack up your leftovers as a perk for your family!"

"If you are chosen as the fire chief, try not to agree to be recommended to go to college."

Qin Xiangxiang: "Of course I won't agree!"

“Everyone else passed the exam, but you were recommended. There will definitely be some people who are unhappy. So I suggest you pass the exam based on your own abilities. That way, when you are allowed to commute, no one will have anything to say.”

Qin Xiangxiang: "...I never planned to go to university."

"For the sake of your canteen, for the sake of your food factory, wife, you need to get a diploma, for a higher position in the future, for promotion and wealth."

Whether now or in the future, a diploma is still quite important. Even after becoming wealthy, many business owners will spend huge sums of money to attend a "business elite class" at university. This is to enhance their credentials and build connections.

Qin Xiangxiang said, "Alright, alright, I'll try taking the exam. If I don't pass, I'll just take it for a few more years."

Comrade Xiao Qin didn't care at all. As long as she didn't pass the exam, she would prepare for it every year. As for what would happen in the future, she would deal with it later.

"This mess sounds good, but I'm not easily fooled... They're just trying to scam me. It's not like we have to set up a joint factory. Our Feiyan Textile Factory can open a branch in Shanghai! Who wants to take over that rubbish?" Qin Xiangxiang couldn't stand being scammed, especially by the people from the 316 Textile Factory.

Someone tricked you, and you still have to go to the inspection team and try your best to perform well and showcase your abilities?

How shameless!

This inspection team is probably eager to get rid of this hot potato. This so-called inspection is just a formality, and they're thinking about how to shift the blame onto Qin Xiangxiang.

Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!

"I can't let these spectators have it too easy... If they want to see me make a fool of myself, then I'll put on a good show for them."

Qin thought for a moment: "What was the name of that master who criticized me before? Master Zhu, right? He wrote so many critical articles, and then disappeared without a trace..."

"Why don't we invite Master Zhu over and let him meet with the inspection team so they can have a good exchange..."

Thinking of this, Qin Xiang chuckled. How fiercely Master Zhu had insulted her and Feiyan Textile Factory before! Let him "show off" in front of the leaders of the Light Industry Bureau.

It would be best to write more articles! Make this matter fall apart legitimately, and infuriate those at the 316 Textile Factory who were waiting to see the show.

Qin Xiangxiang refused to take the blame.

She would never be a slave to hard work; on the contrary, she would rather watch the show and enjoy the spectacle.

Opening a factory in Shanghai is indeed very attractive, but it's perfectly acceptable to apply for a branch factory there... Qin Xiang is familiar with the idea of ​​starting from scratch, and he can apply for a more suitable location.

Li Jianzhi: "Wife, I think you might really be a genius."

Black and red are still red.

Anyone who has experienced the traffic economy knows that traffic is king; attention can bring huge profits, and public attention is very valuable.

His wife is a natural at generating online traffic.

Qin Xiangxiang: "?"

"You damned man, are you the straight man?"

She clearly came up with such a terrible idea.
