In the following days, Guan Wenru forced herself not to think about Zhao Mei's messy affairs, otherwise she was afraid she would lose control and shoot her directly.
The way to shift your focus is to work.
After nearly two months of hard work by the soldiers, the factory was finally completed.
The day finally arrived for work to begin.
At this moment, a crowd has gathered in the simple but tidy courtyard of the feed processing plant.
A simple stage was set up, with a banner reading "Opening Ceremony of Su-Nan Commune Feed Processing Plant".
Guan Wenru invited Chen Jianhui, the newly appointed director of the commune, to the stage and asked him to give a speech.
The former commune director has been demoted and is now Deputy Director Ma.
Deputy Director Ma felt that he and Guan Wenru were incompatible, so he did not attend today's groundbreaking ceremony.
Only Chen Jianhui arrived with the other commune leaders.
Standing on the stage, Chen Jianhui shook hands with Guan Wenru, then looked at the crowd and said loudly, "Comrades! Today is the big day for the official opening of our Su'nan Commune Feed Processing Plant!"
This is an important step in responding to the national call to develop the collective economy and solve the problem of winter feed for livestock in our pastoral areas!
"Thank you to the military for their strong support, providing us with valuable machinery and equipment! The military and their families made the greatest contribution to the construction of this factory. Let's give a round of applause to the military leaders who would like to say a few words!"
Representing the military leadership today is Wang Jianping, the commander of the Second Regiment.
When his name was called, Wang Jianping adjusted his hat to make sure his military bearing was impeccable before stepping forward.
He shook hands with the commune director and Guan Wenru on the stage, then stepped forward and said in a loud voice, "The military and the people are one family. Supporting local development is the responsibility of our troops."
Comrade Guan Wenru, as a military family member, took the lead in production and construction, which is commendable!
We hope that under Director Guan's leadership, the feed mill will make tangible contributions to the development of animal husbandry in Su'nan! The military will continue to pay attention and provide support!
"Good! Thank you, Commander Wang!" Chen Jianhui led the applause. "Next, let's ask Director Guan to make the arrangements."
Guan Wenru, the factory director, had changed into her work clothes today. She walked to the front and said, "Thank you for the support and trust of the leaders of the commune and the military!"
I also want to thank all the villagers and fellow workers for their hard work!
Building this factory wasn't easy; it was a journey from nothing to something, and it was all thanks to this drive to get things done! Once the machines are running, the work has to be done well!
Our goal is clear: to produce high-quality, low-cost feed so that the commune's cattle and sheep are well-fed and grow well! Does everyone have confidence?
The crowd shouted in unison, "Yes!"
"Good!" Guan Wenru clapped his hands. "Now I announce... the Su'nan Commune Feed Processing Plant is officially open for business!!"
Workshop supervisors, immediately gather your teams, get to your positions, and begin work according to the procedures outlined yesterday!
"Good!" The crowd applauded, and then dispersed in an orderly fashion.
The workers headed to their respective posts.
The faint sound of the machine warming up could be heard.
Guan Wenru led the leaders on a tour of each workshop.
Wang Jianping didn't understand these things either. After going through the process once, he said goodbye.
The factory leaders and commune leaders personally escorted him to the factory gate.
Upon reaching the entrance, Wang Jianping took the initiative to speak, “Gentlemen, please wait a moment. The factory is just starting out, and there are many things to do. You all go about your business. Once we see the machines running smoothly, we will be relieved. If you encounter any technical or coordination difficulties, please feel free to contact the military.”
Guan Wenru extended his hand to him, speaking in a businesslike manner, "Thank you, Commander. Please also convey to the military leaders that we will certainly live up to their expectations and run the factory well!"
Wang Jianping reached out and shook her hand, feeling a surge of emotion in his heart.
They are all military dependents, yet the differences between them are so vast.
He Yanzhi is incredibly lucky; he unexpectedly married such a perfect wife!
After a moment of reflection, Wang Jianping shook hands with the others and said goodbye.
After seeing Wang Jianping off, Guan Wenru led the commune leaders into her office.
The commune leaders who came today included Chen Jianhui, the director, and Wang Guolong, the deputy director and accountant.
After everyone sat down, Chen Jianhui spoke up directly, "Director Guan, today is a good start! But there's an important matter that needs to be settled now, which is the standard for workers' wages and benefits. Deputy Director Wang, could you please reiterate the draft we discussed earlier?"
Wang Guolong immediately opened his notebook. "Director Guan, Deputy Director Lei, Deputy Director Zhou, Director Chen, in accordance with the standards for commune-run enterprises and considering the actual situation of our factory, we have had a preliminary discussion."
For ordinary factory workers, the basic monthly salary is set at 18 to 20 yuan.
Technical backbone personnel, such as Zhang Tieshuan who can repair machines, can be given 25 yuan.
For deputy positions, the salary would be set at 40 yuan, similar to that of commune cadres.
As the factory manager, we suggest 45 yuan.
In addition, considering that factory workers do manual labor, they receive a monthly food allowance of 2 yuan.
After Wang Guolong finished speaking, Chen Jianhui looked at Guan Wenru and the two deputy factory directors, "What are your opinions on this salary standard?"
Both deputy factory directors looked at Guan Wenru at the same time.
Guan Wenru shook his head. "The factory director and deputy factory director's salaries are in line with the current standards, but the workers' standards are a bit low. I suggest that the workers be 28 to 30 years old and the technical backbone be 35 years old!"
"..." Wang Guolong's scalp tingled. Every time he faced Guan Wenru, he felt a chill run down his spine, but the salary she proposed was simply too high.
As the person in charge of the commune's accounts, Wang Guolong still frowned and objected, "Director Guan, isn't this standard set too high? Especially for ordinary workers, 28 to 30? This is much better than earning work points in the fields... or herding livestock...!"
