Chapter 185: Poaching people, what a coincidence!
In May, Zhao Yunsheng, who was too busy to spare any time, decided to resign from his job.
Zhao Chengjun and Chen Xiuqin both disagreed somewhat, mainly because they felt that if a person was without a job, he would have nowhere to go, and they were worried that Zhao Yunsheng would be unstable in the future.
Zhao Yunsheng said, "If I can't support my family with my writing, I can just work as a worker at Yingzi Factory, right?"
Zhao Yunsheng had just said it casually, but his parents thought it was a way out. Now Yingzi's factory was doing well and needed manpower, so it would be a good idea for Zhao Yunsheng to help.
Wang Ying laughed: "Then you have to start from the lowest level as a porter. You've always been holding a pen. Can you carry a sack?"
"I can handle it, I can handle it." Zhao Yunsheng also smiled. "Don't worry, I've already finished writing for Director Wu. There are already several directors in Beijing who want to use me as a screenwriter. Gu Xuan is about to start filming my book. I'm also a screenwriter, and I have to join him on the crew. I really don't want to ask for a long vacation anymore."
"You decide for yourself. It's not good to keep asking for leave while working," said Zhao Chengjun.
The family agreed to Zhao Yunsheng's resignation. Zhao Yunsheng's leader was reluctant to see him resign and tried to persuade him to stay. When Zhao Yunsheng said that if he didn't resign, he would have to take a six-month leave, his leader suggested that he apply for unpaid leave.
Seeing his superiors were so eager to keep him, Zhao Yunsheng couldn't refuse and applied for unpaid leave. This reassured Zhao Chengjun and Chen Xiuqin.
Shortly after Zhao Yunsheng resigned, he traveled to Beijing, where he was invited by Gu Xuan and two other directors. Director Wu was filming a traditional opera adaptation, Gu Xuan was also filming a film, and Director He was doing the final editing on his film. All of them needed him, and Zhao Yunsheng became a hot commodity.
Wang Ying remained very busy. The factory was constantly hiring and expanding, yet Wang Ying was constantly short-staffed. Zhou Qianjin was now responsible for marketing, Lu Zhongming for R&D, Luo Wenshu for administration, and Zhao Chengjun for production. Due to the factory's constant expansion, Wang Ying had been unable to train mid-level managers, and the lack of suitable external talent was a major challenge.
Wang Ying thought about it and finally turned his attention to his former colleagues at the non-staple food factory. Wang Ying thought of Lin Fanghua and Feng Yun.
Today, Lin Fanghua is still working in the sauce factory, and Feng Yun is working in the soy products factory. Both of them are currently team leaders.
On the day off, Wang Ying went to Lin Fanghua's house to find her.
"Director Wang, oh no, Director Wang! Why, did you remember me?" Lin Fanghua was so excited when she saw Wang Ying that she was almost incoherent.
"I miss the special hot sauce you made." Wang Ying joked.
Lin Fanghua was stunned: "You still remember it."
"Of course I don't remember." Wang Ying said.
"Come in, come in." Lin Fanghua hurriedly invited Wang Ying into the house.
Lin Fanghua divorced and did not remarry. She lives with her elderly mother. She seems to be living a good life and looks in good spirits.
Lin Fanghua poured tea for Wang Ying. Wang Ying drank the tea and chatted with her for a while before getting down to business: "I did come to see you for something."
"You say." Lin Fanghua sat up straight. She had always wanted to thank Wang Ying for his help to her back then. Now that he finally came to her with something, no matter what it was, she would help.
"Do you want to work in our factory?" Wang Ying said.
Lin Fanghua was stunned: "Go to the biscuit factory?"
"Yes, I am short of manpower now," said Wang Ying.
"I heard that your factory has been recruiting people all the time, including college students! Why are you still short of people?" Lin Fanghua asked.
"We still recruit more workers. We did recruit a few college students, but they are not enough." Wang Ying said with a smile.
"I did hear that your factory has been building factories and recruiting people. Can I? What can I do there?" Lin Fanghua did not think of refusing Wang Ying, for fear that she would not be of sufficient use.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come to invite you in person." Wang Ying said.
"Okay!" Lin Fanghua agreed immediately, "As long as you think I can do it, I'll do whatever you ask me to do!"
It went even smoother than expected. Wang Ying was a little happy and said with a smile, "Don't worry, whether it's the position, benefits or salary, it will be better than what you had at the sauce factory."
"I believe you." Lin Fanghua trusted and admired Wang Ying very much. When she was working at the non-staple food factory, she had wanted to work under her. She didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to invite her now.
"It's settled then," said Wang Ying.
"Okay," Lin Fanghua agreed without hesitation. She had no attachment to the sauce factory. Her current boss was a middle-aged man. Once, a man at the factory made a dirty joke to her. She reported it to him, but instead of punishing him, he even advised her to behave herself. This incident was like a thorn in her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
Wang Ying talked to Lin Fanghua for a while, and then she said goodbye as she had to go to another place.
"Director Wang, please wait a moment." Lin Fanghua said as he stood up and went to the kitchen.
When I came back, I had a bottle of hot sauce in my hand.
"This is the new hot sauce I made. Take it home and try it." Lin Fanghua said.
Wang Ying didn't hesitate. After thanking him, he took the chili sauce and left.
Wang Ying sent the chili sauce home and went to Feng Yun's house again with the gifts.
Feng Yun's family is much more lively than Lin Fanghua's. She has two children, her husband is at home, and her parents-in-law are also at home.
Feng Yun was also very excited when she saw Wang Ying coming to see her.
"It's a rare visit, and you brought a gift." Feng Yunzhi was so happy she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She had always admired Wang Ying at the food factory, but they had rarely worked together, and then the factory was split up, so she was too embarrassed to ask Wang Ying for help. Now that Wang Ying had come to her, Feng Yunzhi thought, no matter what she needed, she would definitely help.
Feng Yun and her husband treated Wang Ying to tea. Feng Yun looked very happy, while her husband was a little nervous.
"Director Wang, your biscuit factory is doing very well, right?" Feng Yun said with a smile.
"It's not bad, but we are short of manpower," said Wang Ying.
Feng Yun's eyes lit up: "Director Wang, what do you think of me?"
Feng Yun spoke without Wang Ying even having to say anything. Her husband looked at her, drank a sip of tea, and didn't respond.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Are you willing to go?"
"Of course I am willing!" When Feng Yun heard Wang Ying say that they were short of manpower, she knew why she came, so she didn't act pretentiously and took the initiative!
"Don't worry, the welfare benefits will only be better than those at the soy products factory," said Wang Ying.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Feng Yun didn't know Wang Ying's abilities yet, so how could he not be worried? "When can I go back to work? I'll handle the transfer procedures myself, or the factory will do it for me!"
Feng Yun's husband finally couldn't help it and pulled her clothes under the table.
Feng Yun slapped her husband's hand away and continued, "Director, don't worry, I will do my best! I won't let your trip today be in vain."
Wang Ying was surprised to see Feng Yun so enthusiastic. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll handle the transfer procedures. You can go back to work as usual and wait for further notice."
"Okay, okay!" Feng Yun agreed, smiling. "Actually, I wanted to transfer over to the food factory before it was split up, but something happened during that time, and then the factory split up, so I didn't have time to transfer. But the factory director and I are destined to work for you, and I'm finally going to work for you!"
Wang Ying had initially thought recruiting these two people would be difficult, but she hadn't expected them to be so proactive. She felt deeply moved. She had helped these two people back then, and it was a good karma that had contributed to the smooth progress now.
Wang Ying's recruitment efforts went smoothly; the higher-ups and both factories readily agreed. Lin Fanghua and Feng Yun officially transferred to the biscuit factory in early June.
Lin Fanghua and Feng Yun had inadvertently set an example for some employees from other factories in Beichong, and some of them began to approach Wang Ying, wanting to transfer to their factory. The biscuit factory's growth in recent years was obvious to everyone.
Wang Ying declined cautiously. After all, Lin Fanghua and Feng Yun were from the former food factory, and she knew their leadership, so it was easy for her to talk to them. But she couldn't just poach people from other factories.
Lin Fanghua and Feng Yun did not disappoint Wang Ying, and both of them had outstanding work performances.
Wang Ying was happy for only a few days, but then she couldn't be happy anymore because Shao Pengyu was going to be transferred.
Shao Pengyu was now the deputy factory director, and Wang Ying had entrusted him with many tasks. Now that the leadership wanted to transfer him, it was a major setback for Wang Ying. But Wang Ying also knew that Shao Pengyu had been transferred there to keep an eye on her, and that he would be transferred sooner or later. If he didn't transfer, how could he become the Minister of Armed Forces in the future?
With the departure of the deputy director, Wang Ying became even busier. Fortunately, everything in the factory was stable now. Although she had a lot to do, she was able to follow the routine.
Time flashed by, and it was July. Zhao Yunsheng had been in Beijing for two months. One day in mid-July, he called Wang Ying's office and said he would be back in two days to pick up his two children and take them to Beijing to film a commercial and record a jingle.
Wang Ying was about to forget about this...
A few days later, Zhao Yunsheng returned from the capital and took the two children away. Li Fengju was still there to take care of them.
One day, when Wang Ying got home from get off work, Chen Xiuqin said to her, "Your second sister really went to set up a stall."
"Really? Where, North City Park? She hasn't been back for a while." Wang Ying said.
"They've been put up everywhere since the summer, for over a month. If no one had seen it and told me, I wouldn't have known about it," said Chen Xiuqin.
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Then let her set up her stall. There are many people setting up stalls now. It's rare that she wants to do it. We should support her. Maybe she can achieve something in the future."
"Sometimes I even bring Mingjie along!" said Chen Xiuqin.
"It's good to exercise the children."
Seeing that Wang Ying's words were all in agreement, Chen Xiuqin's discomfort dissipated. She had felt a little embarrassed when she heard about this matter... but then she thought about it, Yunfang finally had something she wanted to do, and she felt that the shame was not that important.
"It seems like her business is doing well. She says every time she is seen, there are people surrounding her stall," said Chen Xiuqin.
"That's even better, Mom. Don't underestimate this stall. You can make money." Wang Ying said, "If you do well in the future, you can even open a shop."
"It's not as good as you say..." Chen Xiuqin said, but she also had expectations for her second daughter in her heart.
In early August, Zhao Yunsheng returned with the children, a VCR, some videotapes, and a cassette tape.
"Is this a video recorder? How did you get this thing?" Wang Ying asked.
"Gu Xuan got it." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Can the TV at home be connected to it?" Wang Ying bought her TV early, so she didn't know if it had this function.
"It seems so. I forgot about it." Zhao Yunsheng tilted the TV and couldn't find the port. "You're right. It won't connect. I'll ask Gu Xuan to get me an imported TV. I can't watch the videotape anymore. Let me play some music for you first."
"Did Huanhuan and Yueyue sing it?" Wang Ying asked.
"Yes, there are these two, and some children from the capital. Let's go upstairs and listen." Zhao Yunsheng invited the family to go upstairs.
After going upstairs, Zhao Yunsheng put the tape into the tape recorder. Before the song started singing, the two children had already started humming.
Soon, a cheerful prelude came out from the tape recorder. The prelude was very short, and soon the children's joyful chorus was heard: Let's make friends with pandas, dance, hold hands...
The name of the song here is "Let's Make Friends with Pandas". It is very cheerful and catchy.
"It sounds good, it sounds good." Chen Xiuqin applauded while listening.
"Has it been released?" Wang Ying asked.
"No, wait a little longer." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Indeed, we have to wait until Director He's movie is released," said Wang Ying.
"Well, after the movie is released, the advertisements will be put on TV stations. There is one more thing we need to wait for." Zhao Yunsheng said mysteriously.
"What's up?"
"I heard from my second uncle that the country is going to start protecting pandas and building a conservation center," Zhao Yunsheng said. "When that happens, we'll be in a great position to capitalize on this opportunity!"
Wang Ying was stunned. In her memory, pandas were national treasures. She had no idea when pandas became national treasures. What a coincidence!
