If we were to say who the biggest beneficiary was after Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui switched to walking to and from get off work, it would undoubtedly be Xu Weiguo.
Since there were only three workers in the family, and none of them needed the bicycle anymore, it automatically became Xu Weiguo's use.
Now Xu Weiguo can ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day, and he no longer has to walk until he is out of breath.
When Huang Qinqin first started walking to work, she would be out of breath halfway there every time, and Xu Junhui would have to half-carry her along.
But after she persisted for more than half a month, she was able to walk the entire course without blushing or panting.
This made her realize that she had indeed been exercising too little before.
Of course, if Huang Qinqin could choose for herself, she still wouldn't exercise.
Since the department store hasn't had much to do lately, Huang Qinqin takes a walk in the corridor outside the office whenever she has free time.
Today, as usual, she strolled leisurely down the corridor, planning to check on the first floor later to see if she needed to order more pickled vegetables.
Then she saw Manager Gao and ran out of his office, extremely excited.
"Qinqin! You're here just in time! Come into my office quickly, I have some good news to tell you!"
Manager Gao was originally going to go to the next office to find Huang Qinqin, but as soon as he ran out, he saw Huang Qinqin outside.
Huang Qinqin, supporting her pregnant belly, walked into Manager Gao's office, sat down, and looked at him expectantly: "Manager Gao, do you have any good news to tell me?"
"Are you planning to give me a raise?"
Huang Qinqin felt that the best news at this stage was that her salary had been increased.
After George's last order was settled, the department store gave Huang Qinqin a bonus of 100 yuan, and she was happy for many days.
Manager Gao said with a smile, "Pretty much, even more gratifying than a raise!"
“I just received a call from the United States. Mr. George said he has decided to cooperate with us long-term.”
"And he just placed another order, even more than his first one. Don't you think that's more exciting than a raise?"
Huang Qinqin had thought before that Mr. George might continue to work with them, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Since it had only been a little over half a month since the last delivery to Mr. George, Huang Qinqin assumed that given the volume of his orders, it would be at least several months before he placed another order.
However, Huang Qinqin thought of a question: "Manager Gao, did Mr. George say when this order needs to be delivered?"
"The pickled vegetables are fine; they basically just need to be bottled and packaged. But it's a bit more troublesome in Xujia Village because carving takes time."
Hearing Huang Qinqin's words, Manager Gao's excited heart calmed down a little.
"Mr. George said he hopes we can ship the goods to the United States within half a month. If we can't ship all of them in time, we can ship a portion first."
"Didn't they refuse to give electricity to Xujia Village last time?"
Because George wanted more goods this time, Manager Gao was worried that Xujia Village wouldn't be able to supply them in time.
Huang Qinqin nodded with a bitter expression: "Yes, Xujia Village didn't agree. If the quantity doubles, it might really be too late."
If Huang Qinqin had known earlier that George would want so much goods, she would have insisted on getting electricity to Xujia Village no matter what.
Even if electricity is available, there's no guarantee that the supply will be sufficient. After all, bamboo cups require carving, which is time-consuming and not something everyone can do.
Unlike the pickled vegetables from Huangjia Village, where only the recipe needs to be personally overseen by Grandma Huang, almost anyone can complete the other steps.
Manager Gao pondered for a moment, then said in a somewhat heavy tone, "So, what do you think we should do now to solve this problem?"
"We definitely have to meet George's requirements. How can we complete this order within half a month?"
What should I do?
Huang Qinqin's mind is completely blank now. To complete this order, it's actually very simple; she just needs to distribute the order volume to other people.
The difficulty lies in the fact that Huang Qinqin hopes Xujia Village will take on this order. Even if they can't handle the entire order, they want at least a large portion of it.
Seeing that Huang Qinqin was thinking, Manager Gao did not disturb her.
Manager Gao already had an idea in mind. To be honest, there were quite a few people who knew how to carve bamboo, if not many.
If Huang Qinqin couldn't think of any other solutions, Manager Gao was prepared to have someone else handle the order.
For Manager Gao, it didn't matter who supplied the department store with the goods. What mattered was that the quality was guaranteed and the goods were delivered within the stipulated time.
Got it!
Huang Qinqin finally came up with a solution that could be considered a win-win situation.
"Manager Gao, how about this? If we let Xujia Village take on this order entirely, it might lead to delays in delivery."
"I just thought about it, and we can ask our superiors for help and see if we can cooperate with other people or factories."
"We will provide polished bamboo cups from Xujia Village, but without any carvings yet. We will then hire more people to carve them, which will ensure delivery as quickly as possible."
Moreover, this way, Xujia Village can make money without facing so much pressure.
Although we might earn less, there's nothing we can do about it. If Xujia Village insists on taking the order and it delays delivery, then we're doomed.
Manager Gao was also satisfied with this method. As long as it did not delay the timely delivery of orders, he had no objections.
“Alright, I’ll contact the leaders. You’re in charge of communicating with Xujia Village and trying to get them to prepare more bamboo cups.”
After Manager Gao finished speaking, he was about to have Huang Qinqin take immediate action when he suddenly remembered that George had made another request on the phone.
Then he continued to Huang Qinqin, "Also, George made a request."
"He hopes that the pickled vegetables from Huangjia Village will have a picture added to the packaging, which could be a photo of a person or something else."
"But it must be visually appealing and easily recognizable, so that it leaves a lasting impression and makes the pickled vegetables look more upscale or more precious."
"Find some time to go to Huangjia Village and discuss it with them. Try to finalize the packaging in the next few days."
"Once the packaging is finalized, bring it over first. I'll take it to the leaders for their approval. Are there any problems?"
Huang Qinqin wanted to say there was a problem, but she didn't dare. She could only force a smile and say, "No problem, I'll take care of it right away."
