After they were both seated, Director Niu put on a kind and amiable smile, looked directly at Xia Wan, and said bluntly:
"Comrade Xia, when are you planning to start working officially at our factory? If you come, I can immediately arrange for you to have the benefits of a permanent employee!"
The small cakes that Xia Wan had just made were so delicious that Manager Niu immediately believed Xia Wan's earlier statement that she had been passionate about studying all kinds of food since childhood and had a lot of special food recipes.
At this moment, in the eyes of the factory manager, since Xia Wan had already come to participate in this recruitment exam, she must be very eager to get a job at this food factory.
Therefore, the key issues that both sides need to discuss now are nothing more than specific treatment and other details.
Director Bai chimed in, "Yes, yes, Comrade Xia, you can go to the personnel department to complete your onboarding today. You can start work in a couple of days after preparations, or you can come to work tomorrow."
Seeing their eagerness, Xia Wan couldn't help but find it amusing. She coughed lightly and said, "Director Niu, Director Bai, it's like this. I'm an educated youth who went to the countryside and now live in Huaihua Brigade. It's inconvenient for me to go back and forth to the factory to work. I was thinking if I could contribute to our food factory in another way."
Factory Director Niu and Director Bai exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions growing increasingly puzzled. They listened intently to Xia Wan's words, but felt as if they were lost in a fog, unable to grasp their true meaning.
Finally, after exchanging a glance, Director Bai broke the silence first. He looked at Xia Wan and asked in a somewhat urgent tone, "Comrade Xia, what you just said, does it mean that you don't want to stay and work in our food factory?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Wan quickly waved her hand and shook her head, hurriedly explaining, "Of course not! Director Bai, Factory Director Niu, of course I very much hope to work in your food factory! It's just... my home is too far from here, and it's really inconvenient to travel back and forth every day."
Besides, my father has injured his leg and has difficulty moving around, so he urgently needs someone to take care of him. That's why I've been thinking about whether I could stop coming to the factory every day.
As Xia Wan spoke, she kept an eye on the changes in the expressions of Factory Director Niu and Director Bai.
Upon hearing this, the two men frowned slightly, seemingly not entirely satisfied with her statement.
So Xia Wan quickly added, "But please rest assured! Although I may not be able to come to the factory every day, I can guarantee that I will provide a new food formula for our factory every month!"
However, Xia Wan couldn't help but sigh inwardly at this moment.
After all, living in this special era, it's impossible to talk about generous benefits like profit sharing or shares. At most, one can only receive a fixed salary and occasional bonuses.
When Director Niu and his colleague heard Xia Wan claim that she could provide a brand new food recipe every month, their eyes widened instantly, like saucers.
"Can you really guarantee a brand new formula every month? And in terms of quality..."
Factory Director Niu hesitated, pondering to himself. He found it hard to believe that this young woman dared to make such a bold statement.
You have to understand that even the most experienced chefs in the factory, who have been engaged in food research and development for many years, could never successfully develop a new recipe every month!
Therefore, he couldn't help but wonder if Xia Wan was just making things up and passing off inferior goods in order to get the job?
However, Xia Wan seemed confident. She knew what the factory manager was worried about, so she said slowly, "Please rest assured, the taste of the food I provide will definitely not be inferior to the cake that everyone tasted today."
Her resolute words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the two leaders present speechless.
Although they still had doubts about what Xia Wan said, they were also unwilling to easily miss out on such a seemingly promising talent.
What if everything this girl said is true?
Then their food factory will surely be able to achieve a stunning turnaround in the future and completely turn the tide!
At that time, wouldn't it be easy to win the bet we made with the other leaders?
To build this new factory, Director Niu made a solemn pledge with several former leaders: if their new factory couldn't develop anything that exceeded the sales volume of canned goods, all the new machines they brought in would belong to the old factory.
The old factory director had a very tough temper; he was upright and incorruptible, and couldn't tolerate even the slightest imperfection.
Although their chances seemed slim at first, if it weren't for Director Niu's nephew working for the county leaders, they probably wouldn't have gotten such an opportunity.
Seeing that they remained silent, Xia Wan hesitated for a moment, but quickly spoke again: "I can assure the leaders that I will definitely hand over the formula to the factory before the monthly salary is paid."
If the factory workers are unsure about anything or have any questions, they can come to me. If I fail to keep my word, or if I fail to provide the formula on time, the factory may withhold my wages.
Xia Wan's words undoubtedly eased the worries of Factory Director Niu and Director Bai considerably.
Based on the conditions she stated, if she truly couldn't provide the recipe, the factory wouldn't suffer any losses. For the food factory, this was undoubtedly a relatively safe solution.
“But as a worker in the factory, if you don’t come to work on time, how can you explain that to the leaders?” After all, he was just working at a branch factory.
Although he was the factory manager of a branch factory, he couldn't make such decisions on his own, since they were still under the jurisdiction of the old factory's leadership.
Xia Wan pretended to ponder for a while, then spoke again: "You can make me the factory's food consultant. I don't need to take a basic salary; the factory can just give me a corresponding bonus every time I provide a food recipe."
In reality, how much money is given depends on whether the leaders are willing to spend it. After all, whether the bonus is more or less depends on how they apply for it.
How can a basic salary compare to bonuses?
Just then, Director Bai leaned close to Factory Director Niu's ear and whispered a few words.
Factory Director Niu frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought about what Director Bai had said.
