Good morning, factory manager.
"Good morning."
"The factory manager is here."
"They're here, they're here."
"........"
Lin Yu is now the de facto factory manager of the food factory, and almost every worker knows her.
The food factory has not yet become the large factory with a thousand employees that Lin Yu had hoped for.
But now it can be considered a medium-sized factory, with about three hundred employees.
In the past two years, the factory's profits have been getting better and better because of the development of canned fruit.
Therefore, the factory recruited a lot of workers from the surrounding villages.
It's now quite famous in the commune.
The staff in the food factory's office has also been expanded.
Li Dahui, Lin Yuan, and Zhou Huanan each have their own sales department offices.
Song Meili works in the publicity department, and Ou Manqing works in the finance department.
Zhang Bing was in charge of personnel and logistics at the factory.
They each hired several people as assistants.
When the office was recruiting staff in 1973, Yu Haiyang and Zhang Li finally persevered and passed the exam.
Yu Haiyang is now working under Zhang Bing, while Zhang Li is working under Song Meili in the Publicity Department.
Upon seeing Lin Yu enter, Zhang Li was the first to stand up and greet him: "Good morning, Factory Director."
"I cleaned your office this morning, and I'll make you some tea later."
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Good morning, Zhang Zhiqing."
"Thank you, but I'll do these things myself next time."
To be honest, Zhang Li changed a lot during those two years when she was being toughened up in the brigade.
She gradually realized that there was no future for her and Yu Haiyang if they continued like this.
So she reconsidered her life, realizing there was no hope of returning to the city, and studied even harder.
I finally passed the exam and got a job in the office.
He's stopped causing trouble now, but he's become a bit obsequious.
He was always trying to please Lin Yu.
She was quite conscientious and responsible at work, so Lin Yu couldn't say anything harsh to her and could only let her be.
Song Meili rolled her eyes, disliking Zhang Li's fawning, but had nothing to say.
"Factory manager, I have something to report."
Lin Yu said in a serious tone, "Yes, come in with me."
She now has her own factory manager's office.
As soon as she entered the door, Song Meili's expression changed immediately.
"Oh my, did you see that? Zhang Li is just too..."
Lin Yu shook her head: "Let her be. I've told her several times, but she won't listen."
"And she was very nice, wasn't she?"
Although he was overly ingratiating towards Lin Yu, he was able to do a good job with any task assigned to him.
Song Meili: "Of course, otherwise why would I want her?"
Zhang Li is now her subordinate.
"Let's talk about work."
Song Meili immediately switched to work mode: "I received a call from the Beicheng Daily, they want to interview us."
"It's also a good opportunity for publicity, should we accept?"
Lin Yu was somewhat surprised: "Interviewing us? Beicheng?"
In the past two years, Lin Yu has been interviewed by the commune and provincial newspapers, but in Beicheng...
This is a national newspaper, why would they think of interviewing a small factory like theirs?
Song Meili replied, "Because this is a commune-run factory, a typical example of farmers developing sideline businesses."
"Zhou Huanan said that some of the higher-ups in our factory have already taken notice."
Because canned fruit is relatively expensive, it's mostly the family members of leaders who buy it.
Naturally, people will notice this factory.
The leaders then became even more interested when they learned that the factory was just a village-run factory.
Of course, they didn't say anything openly, but privately, Zhou Huanan had connections and could find out about the food factory.
Grandpa Zhou therefore praised his work.
I think Zhou Huanan really accomplished something great by going to the countryside.
Zhou Huanan is happy to see the factory he built achieve its current success.
So as soon as he got back, he told Song Meili about it.
Not long after Song Meili learned about this, she received a call from the Beicheng Daily, saying they wanted to interview their factory director, Comrade Lin Yu.
Without a second thought, Lin Yu slammed his hand on the table and said, "Of course I agree! This is a national newspaper; we're going to become famous!"
This can also be considered a form of advertising; those who read the newspaper will surely know about their Qingshan Food Factory.
Lin Yu had a premonition that if they actually did this interview, their factory would have to expand again.
Song Meili was not surprised at all, after all, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that this interview would be entirely beneficial.
"What arrangements need to be made?"
Lin Yu hadn't decided yet: "Let me think about it. This is a rare opportunity, so we definitely need to promote our factory."
Song Meili nodded: "Then I'll call them back first to confirm the time."
"Um."
As Song Meili left the office, Lin Yu had already lowered her head and was writing and drawing on a piece of paper.
......
"So, has the factory manager agreed to the interview?"
As soon as she stepped outside, her colleagues surrounded her and asked her questions.
"Of course I agree."
"That's great, that's great."
"Then we'll be famous all over the country."
Most of the other employees in the office were educated youth who came to the countryside later.
Those who went to the countryside in the 1970s all knew that going to the countryside meant doing farm work and getting themselves covered in dirt.
Some people were already crying uncontrollably on the train.
Everyone was mentally prepared, and some even brought a lot of food to avoid going hungry.
Unexpectedly, after arriving at the Lianhua Brigade, I was given a test just a few days later.
Anyone who passes the test can work in the office!
