Huang Qinqin originally thought that today would be just another ordinary day.
As a result, not long after arriving at the department store, he was urgently summoned by Manager Gao.
After Huang Qinqin arrived, it was obvious that Manager Gao was in a bad mood.
Besides her, everyone from the finance department came over. Just to be on the safe side, Huang Qinqin thought it best not to speak first.
Manager Gao slammed the documents on the table, pounding them loudly, and demanded angrily, "Who among you will give me a reasonable explanation?!"
"Knowing that the trading volume of cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar has been rising recently, why didn't you prepare earlier and order more from the factory?"
"Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, you're telling me that, based on the current transaction volume, there might be a shortage of goods during the festival?!"
"Furthermore, the National Day holiday comes right after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and foreign guests will be visiting soon. I've already reported that we have local specialties that can be exported. How am I supposed to explain this to you now!"
"Speak! Are you all mute?!"
This was the first time Huang Qinqin had ever seen Manager Gao so angry. No matter what had happened before, Manager Gao would never have directly yelled at them.
However, Huang Qinqin still doesn't understand what happened.
Because she has been mainly in charge of the pickled vegetables recently, and in addition, the premium oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar products are on track.
All that was needed was to allocate funds on time, monitor inventory, and place additional orders promptly. Therefore, Huang Qinqin hadn't inquired about it for a while.
During this period, the finance department has been responsible for following up on the matter.
And that's how problems arose.
Based on Huang Qinqin's experience, the finance department would add more orders when they saw that there weren't enough products left, which is perfectly reasonable.
However, because it was close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people suddenly bought gifts, and the supplies were quickly depleted. The finance department was a couple of days late in adding orders, and that's when the problem arose.
The department store has sold out of its current stock, and the oil mill and food factory have both said that they are close to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Companies are preparing employee benefits, and their orders are already booked until after the National Day holiday.
Of course, because they have signed long-term contracts, they will still guarantee the supply each month.
However, if you want to add an order, all they can say is sorry.
So Huang Jianmin and Zhu Min had no choice but to slink back to the department store yesterday.
Because the head of the finance department had already left work when they returned yesterday afternoon, they told him about it as soon as they arrived at work today.
And then, we're all being reprimanded now...
The finance department staff also felt wronged; they were clearly following the department store's instructions, but who knew there would be situations where orders couldn't be added?
Generally speaking, it is only in supply and marketing cooperatives that are in remote or small locations that the goods cannot be obtained.
Department stores, for example, usually offer priority purchasing rights.
However, since things had come to this point, Section Chief Li from the finance department had no choice but to offer an explanation.
After listening to Section Chief Li's explanation, Huang Qinqin finally understood what had happened.
Unlike the others who looked worried, Huang Qinqin's first reaction was one of secret delight. She had even thought of letting the pickled vegetables ride the wave of foot traffic.
Now there's no need to rely on others anymore; perhaps pickled vegetables can be used as a substitute. Premium oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar have become the top choice for Mid-Autumn Festival gifts.
After listening to Section Chief Li's explanation, Manager Gao remained expressionless: "I don't want to hear your account of what happened."
"What I need is a solution! What do you suggest we do now?"
What to do? Section Chief Li also wanted to know what to do, but he was just an accountant; how could he possibly know what to do...?
Huang Qinqin seized the opportunity to step forward and express her thoughts.
"You mean, starting tomorrow, we'll give them free samples of pickled vegetables and then promote giving them as gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Manager Gao had some doubts: "Will this work? Pickled vegetables are something we only eat at home, right?"
He knew the pickled vegetables were delicious, but no matter how delicious they were, they were still just pickled vegetables!
Huang Qinqin disagreed: "Manager Gao, think about it. When we give gifts to our relatives and friends, shouldn't practicality be the top priority?"
"What could be more practical than food? Not to mention, this pickled vegetable is cheap, delicious, and doesn't require coupons."
"And I saw the information you gave us before. Some of those foreign guests were from South Korea and Japan, right?"
Manager Gao nodded: "Yes, but what does this have to do with pickled vegetables?"
"This is a huge deal! As far as I know, the Koreans eat the most pickled vegetables. I'm confident that our pickled vegetables will absolutely crush theirs!"
Huang Qinqin countered with a question to Manager Gao: "Manager Gao, you must have dined with people from South Korea before, right?"
"Which do you think tastes better, our pickled vegetables or South Korean pickled vegetables?"
Needless to say, their food is definitely the best!
Manager Gao is no longer worried. He seems to have already foreseen the expressions on the faces of the Koreans when they finally break down.
He happily replied, "Okay, then we'll do it your way. But this time we can't afford to mess it up; the taste, quality, and quantity must all be guaranteed!"
"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
......
Xu Weiguo originally thought that he could leave after sending Director Chen to the provincial bureau.
Unexpectedly, the people from the provincial bureau were very enthusiastic and all offered to treat him to a meal. Unable to refuse their hospitality, he had no choice but to accept.
Then I borrowed their phone and called Xu Junhui, telling him that I wouldn't have time to go home for lunch and asking him to tell Zhang Yumei.
At the dinner table, after several rounds of tea (since drinking is prohibited during work hours), Xu Weiguo finally understood why they were being so hospitable.
The reason is that National Day is approaching, and every unit is required to submit typical cases, whether good or bad.
But things were really strange inside the provincial bureau. Everyone got along very well, and everyone was equal within the provincial bureau.
You say it's good, but you can't figure out why it's good.
If you want to say it's bad, I can't find anything wrong with it.
They were in a state of panic, wondering if they should create a role model themselves.
Xu Weiguo slapped them down with a typical example.
Although it is said that the best role models are good and positive.
However, if there really isn't any good example, it's not necessarily a bad thing to do.
Even if we lose face, there are still so many people with us, so what's there to be afraid of?
Xu Weiguo originally thought, how harmonious could it really be?
Moreover, how can everyone be equal when they have different positions?
It wasn't until he finished eating and left that he realized he had left something behind and went back to get it.
When he saw everyone in the provincial bureau, including the director and deputy director, actually splitting the cost of the meal, he believed it...
It really is true that everyone is equal...
