The fat man said to Chen Yan on the phone, "Second sister, you're the boss now, why are you letting a little girl give you a multiple-choice question?"
You mean?
"It seems like it's a choice between two options, either Qilige or yours; Qilige has Xiaodang, so we definitely can't choose that, so only your side is left as an option, right?"
Chen Yan suddenly realized, "That's right, why should she be able to choose whichever she wants?"
The "Where to Move" company involves too many aspects. On the one hand, Benleihu, Qinlonghu, and other former subordinates of the fat man are counting on this job.
On the other hand, people like He Yushui, Sister Hua, and Liu Yuhua also invest money and energy, truly treating this as a career.
Then there's the construction team; Gong Qian's father's men are also in there.
After the reform and opening up, the construction team faced even greater difficulties. The garden's renovation work could not continue, and the higher authorities could not provide funds. Even the wages were only paid at 70%.
If it weren't for the monthly subsidy provided by "Where to Move" company, these people would have quit long ago!
Gong Qian's father owes such a huge favor, yet he doesn't go out of his way to introduce business to Chen Yan's company?
So, does that mean the person behind all this planning and strategizing is Xu Damao?
Fatty said to Chen Yan, "Let her go to the parts factory. Her older sister and brother-in-law own half the shares, and besides, Huaihua has to call Qin Jingru 'aunt'! Xu Damao will definitely not let her down."
Chen Yan was already used to her younger brother's intelligence. Over the years, Fatty had become the backbone of the family. Although Zhou Haiqin still seemed to be "ruling from behind the scenes," everyone was actually used to asking Fatty for advice when they encountered problems.
Even Cao Zhengyang and Xing Jianshu were no exception.
Chen Yan asked on the phone, "Should you talk to Xu Damao or should I do it?"
"I'll come, Second Sister, wait for my call."
"..."
Xu Damao has been in high spirits these days. The parts factory is all set and ready to go. It's just waiting for Cao Zhengyang to buy the equipment so that it can start production.
Even the factory buildings are readily available. The old village committee building in Qin Jingru's village can be demolished, pillars erected, a surrounding wall built, a large iron gate installed, and power supplied so that equipment can be brought in for production.
These days, there's no need to be so particular about setting up a factory. Take Xiao Lei's wire factory, for example; wasn't it just a converted pigsty in the village?
Xu Damao listened carefully to Cao Zhengyang's opinions and set up a two-story office area at the corner to the left of the main entrance.
Downstairs is the workers' lounge, and upstairs are his and Cao Zhengyang's offices, as well as a reception room. This emphasizes that management personnel are always in the workshop, not seeking special treatment, and spending every day with the workers.
Xu Damao is the manager, Cao Zhengyang is the chief engineer, and Chen Rong is the quality inspector. We are currently short an accountant and a receptionist.
Cao Zhengyang suggested that Qin Jingru manage the accounts. Xu Damao said she wasn't capable, but he actually thought so too.
Well, firstly, they haven't remarried yet; they're just ex-husband and ex-wife living together now. Secondly, Qin Jingru is reluctant to give up her current job and refuses to quit.
Left with no other option, they settled for second best and asked Chen Rong to manage the accounts, but she declined repeatedly.
Don't be fooled by Xu Damao's feigned dissatisfaction; he's actually quite pleased inside.
But this really means we're missing someone we can rely on.
In the end, it was the fat guy who introduced someone to him.
Who is she? She's an old accountant from the Red Star Factory who just retired this year. She's a woman surnamed Zhuang, and everyone calls her Accountant Zhuang. She looks quite plump, and her figure is comparable to that of a fat aunt.
The obsession with large companies has influenced three generations, from those born in the 1960s to those born in the 1980s.
That is why neither Xu Damao nor Cao Zhengyang had any objection to the selection of Accountant Zhuang.
Moreover, she wasn't often at the factory; she only came once a month, just to keep the accounts in order, and she was already showing some of the qualities of a certified public accountant from 1988 onwards.
Xu Damao was in his office wondering where he could find a pretty young woman.
This girl must be pleasing to the eye, well-behaved, and preferably speak softly.
Actually, Xu Damao had been in love with a woman for a long time, Shen Xuemei, who worked in Fatty's kitchen.
Li Huaide's former lover was once thought to have been taken by Fatty, but after much investigation, he discovered that this was not the case at all.
Shen Xuemei meets all of Xu Damao's requirements: 43E (numbers represent area, letters represent height)...
Even her voice is soft and sweet, and she has a good temper. Even when she's angry, she'll just turn away and ignore you, sulking to herself, making her seem easy to bully.
But Shen Xuemei's idea was not easy to implement, as she had a very good relationship with Liu Lan.
Liu Lan is quite feisty, and she is highly regarded by Fatty.
Xu Damao was struggling with his question when the phone on the table rang. He answered it very politely and said, "Hello, who is this?"
In those days, telephones were far from commonplace, and people were very polite whether making or receiving calls. The post office even published a book called "Telephone Communication Terminology" specifically for this purpose.
But there are always people who don't play by the rules, like this guy on the other end of the phone: "I'm your dad!"
Xu Damao was furious: "Fatty, you're taking advantage of me again!"
"Don't make trouble if something's wrong."
Xu Damao gripped the phone receiver tightly, making the outer plastic casing creak. Who is it? Is someone messing with you?
The fat man said, "Don't you need someone? I have someone in mind, do you want him?"
Xu Damao immediately perked up: "Shen Xuemei? I want her! I want her!"
"You're dreaming. Just you wait, I'll call Qin Jingru in a bit."
Oh... isn't the fat guy going to introduce Shen Xuemei?
Xu Damao was almost in tears: "No, no, brother, please don't tell that Tiger Girl, she really hit her!"
On the other end of the phone, the fat man laughed heartily: "Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'm telling you, you know this person too, and in fact, she has to call you her uncle. This person is Huaihua."
Xu Damao was also puzzled: "Who are you talking about? Locust flowers?"
"Yes, she was also laid off and is going to marry my cousin Yu Qian."
Now Xu Damao felt like he had missed a whole season, even though he had only been gone for a few days.
Then he yelled angrily, "Fatty, wait a minute! What is all this nonsense? Huaihua, and your cousin?"
The fat man said matter-of-factly, "Yeah, so what? You want to object to this marriage?"
Xu Damao was completely baffled: "What do I object to? I just think it's too sudden."
As Xu Damao spoke, he pondered: Didn't everyone originally think they were going to match Yu Qian and Xiao Dang up?
How come the small prize didn't go through, but the locust flower prize did?
