Under everyone's gaze, Uncle Xu proudly held up a finger and said, "That's a lot."
Everyone in the room except Xu Ying was bewildered. If it was 10 yuan, there was no way the third brother would give his mother 30 yuan at once.
Grandpa Xu frowned and said, "Stop keeping us in suspense, tell us how much you earned."
Uncle Xu snorted and said in a bored tone, "It's not much. I worked for more than a month and only got a hundred yuan.
Later, I went to work in a textile factory for half a month, and I didn’t get much, only 30 yuan.”
"Third brother, when did you go to work in the textile factory? What do you do?" Uncle Xu looked shocked.
Uncle Xu's eyes were full of smugness: "I've been there for a while, working in sales. If I'm lucky, maybe I can even become the director of the sales department!"
Uncle Xu was a little unconvinced and turned to look at his niece: "Yingying, is what your uncle said true?"
“Really, my third uncle is good at speaking, but he didn’t have to go on the right track before. It just so happened that I went to work as a designer in a textile factory, so I asked my third uncle to follow me to the sales department.
The sales department focuses on performance, and there are not as many rules as other departments, nor is it so strict. If my second uncle wants to go, he can go." Xu Ying said with a smile, afraid that her second uncle would be angry if she didn't invite him to join.
Sometimes people are like this, especially family members. If they do something inconsiderate, they are afraid of causing misunderstanding.
Uncle Xu shook his head when he heard this. He was not as eloquent as his third brother: "I can't do it. If you let me work on the crops, I can do it. But if you let me sell the products, I can't talk well."
Xu Ying naturally had a plan for her third uncle, but it would take a few years.
"Dad, the dam in our village must be checked carefully every day. This is a big deal and we can't take it lightly!" Xu Ying showed a trace of worry in her eyes.
The time is almost here. In the last life, a heavy rain directly destroyed the dam, causing all the crops in the village to be submerged, and the surrounding farmers had no harvest for the whole year.
Later, because the dam collapsed and there was no stored water, and there was drought, not only did the crops fail, but even drinking water and cooking became difficult for people, not to mention washing clothes and taking a bath.
Father Xu nodded. After what happened to Deputy Captain Xu last time, he was particularly concerned about the dam. Even if a patrol team was arranged to check it out, he would still go and take a look.
To solve the problem of floods, it is not just the dams in one’s own village that need to be checked, but also those in other villages.
Her father is the team leader, so it's easy for him to listen to her, but people from other villages don't listen to her. Now she has to establish her position before the New Year so that she can be more convincing.
After dinner, Xu Ying couldn't wait to go back to the room and start planning this matter.
If she could make a lot of money for the food factory and the textile factory during the New Year, she could take more orders and bring them to their Yushan Commune.
When recruiting, we can do favors for each team leader, which will make it easier to persuade them to strictly inspect the dam.
Chinese New Year is a festive day, and Xu Ying's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, a plan came to my mind instantly.
The next morning, Xu Ying got up early, washed up, and pushed her bicycle to go to work.
"Mom, I'm leaving first."
"Hey, take the eggs away." After Xu's mother said this, she only saw her daughter's back gradually disappearing on the bike.
Xu Ying rode her bike at full speed to the food factory. She went to the cafeteria and found Lao Li.
"Uncle Li, I'm going to discuss new research and development with the factory manager. I'll leave breakfast to you."
As soon as she said this, Lao Li was immediately overjoyed. He had been doing nothing these days and always felt uneasy, as if his existence was dispensable. Now he finally had something to do and was very happy.
As soon as he said this, several ladies looked disappointed.
They couldn't eat the food cooked by Xiao Xu, and when they thought of the taste of Lao Li's cooking, they suddenly lost their appetite.
When Lao Li saw that everyone looked unhappy, he immediately got angry and said, "What's wrong? You all look so sad. Is it because my cooking is not good or something?
It’s not delicious. You’ve been eating it for so many years. Don’t you consider your status and Xiao Xu’s status? How could he cook for you all the time?
He is the director of our factory's R&D department. What is the R&D department? The future performance of our factory depends on the quality of what Xiao Xu researches.
To put it bluntly, everyone in our factory, including the factory director, has to depend on Xiao Xu for their meals."
"Is this true?" Several middle-aged women widened their eyes. They had never been to school and had worked here for almost their entire lives. This was the first time they heard that the people in the R&D department were so capable.
"Really!" Old Li said with disgust.
After saying that, he happily ran to the spatula and started cooking.
Xu Ying went to see Director Sun. It was a pity for the factory employees that they all had resentful faces after eating the food cooked by Lao Li.
"Auntie, why is it Chef Li who is cooking today? Where is Chef Xu?"
"Yes, we all like the food cooked by Master Xu. The food cooked by Master Li is really hard to swallow."
Old Li's face was dark. He appeared behind them without anyone noticing. He reached out and patted the speaker on the shoulder: "Is my cooking so bad?"
The man was startled, turned around and saw that it was Lao Li, and immediately explained: "No, no!"
When Lao Li heard what he said, he snorted coldly: "It tastes bad, but you have to eat it anyway, humph."
There was a lot of groaning in the cafeteria, and everyone was looking for Master Xu.
Xu Ying was sitting in the factory director's office at the moment, drinking tea leisurely: "Director, the New Year is coming soon, and everyone must be buying New Year's goods.
Let's launch a New Year's package, it will definitely work. If you agree, I will take my uncle out for a trip tomorrow."
The New Year's set meal that Xu Ying mentioned is a combination of fried meat, fried vegetables, and braised food.
"Director, what are you still hesitating about? Every family eats meat during the Chinese New Year. The meat in our factory is delicious and it gives us face if we tell others about it. Why can't we just sell it to big factories?"
Director Sun is willing to do so, but he is afraid that it will not be sold.
We are increasing production now, so that if they fail to sell, we will have nothing left over.
Seeing this, Xu Ying took drastic measures: "Director, I can guarantee that this time I go out, I can at least bring in an order of 500,000 for our factory."
The water in Director Sun's mouth suddenly gushed out: "Xiao Xu, we girls can't tell lies.
What if you can’t do it? "
Xu Ying looked at Director Sun with a sad face and said, "Director, I didn't expect you to be so distrustful of me. We have worked together so many times, and I thought I was a trustworthy person in your heart.
I didn't expect you to treat me like this. Well, if that's the case, forget it. I just want to get some orders for the factory so that the employees can make some extra money during the Chinese New Year. Sigh!"
