Chapter 136 Disharmony
The plane landed at Capital International Airport around six in the evening.
Some old terminals have very few passengers coming and going, mainly because it is not easy to take a flight. Not only do you need a letter of introduction from your work unit, but you also need a sufficient reason to buy a ticket.
Yan Jiuru picked up the luggage and came back to reunite with Chen Yin and the children.
The three little ones had taken a nap on the plane and were now full of energy. When they saw their father dragging a suitcase, they all rushed to sit in the suitcase 'trailer'.
Because Zhuangzhuang is the eldest brother, he has to give way to his younger siblings. He understands the reason, but he still pouts and looks like he's about to be hung with oil bottles.
"Okay, I'll give you the airplane model later, okay? They don't have any."
Since becoming a father of three children, Yan Jiuru has become a master at balancing things without any training, and strives to be fair and reasonable in all matters involving his three children.
No matter whether it is old or young, boy or girl, try not to be partial.
Of course, I'm just trying my best. There is no absolute fairness in any world.
Otherwise, why do humans, as intelligent creatures, have their hearts tilted to one side?
In his view, this is the embodiment of the mutual confirmation between the world will and humanity.
That's getting off topic.
After the family came out with their bags and checked their luggage tickets, they saw Xiao Zhang waiting outside the guardrail, waving his arms: "Brother Jiu, here, here!"
Yan Jiuru nodded at him from a distance.
When he got closer, he asked, "Why are you here to pick me up again? Where is the factory?"
Xiao Zhang first greeted Chen Yin politely, then hurriedly took over a luggage 'trailer'. Seeing that Xiao Hu was sitting very steadily, he said aggrievedly, "Brother Jiu, I finally got the job to take over from you, and you still look down on me?"
Yan Jiuru rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, stop pretending. You know I don't mean that."
"Okay, I'll forgive you for the sake of the local specialties. By the way, Brother Nine, there are local specialties... right?"
Yan Jiuru laughed and scolded: "When have I missed your specialty? You're still thinking about it."
The two chatted for a while and then arrived in front of the jeep.
Xiao Zhang then explained, "The factory is incredibly busy right now, and there aren't enough cars to go around. When the director found out, he asked me to come pick you up."
"Thank you so much for your support, Director. It's just perfect, you can bring some of these specialties back to share later."
"Hey, I'm sorry to have made you spend money again, Brother Jiu." Xiao Zhang smiled.
Brother Jiu is so generous. Every time he comes back from a business trip, he brings local specialties for everyone. As soon as they hear that he is going to pick someone up, many people rush to come.
Hehe, of course no one could snatch it away from him.
***
They went straight back to their home in Shuangyu Hutong.
Rusong heard the sound and opened the door. He was very happy to see his brother and sister-in-law: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are back!"
He is already in the second year of junior high school and has grown a lot in height. Now he is as tall as his older brother.
"You're home alone? Where's Ruyue?"
Rusong said, "Oh," and said, "She went with her classmates to snatch the old man away."
As they were talking, the family entered the yard and Xiao Zhang helped drag all the luggage in.
Yan Jiuru opened the box, took out several bags that had been packed in advance, and told Xiao Zhang: "This one is for the director, and these two, one is for Sister Wang in the office, and the other is for Section Chief Liang.
The rest are some local snacks, let’s try them together.”
***
After Xiao Zhang said goodbye, Yan Jiuru finally found the time to ask his brother, "What are you robbing, Grandpa?"
Rusong smirked and said, "This semester, the school has started promoting good deeds again. This time, everyone must do three good deeds per week and write them into essays for the teacher to grade."
He squatted down and watched his elder brother packing his luggage, saying, "Aren't all the students in the school busy doing good deeds, giving directions to strangers, helping old ladies cross the road, escorting the blind home, helping children find their mothers..."
There are only so many good deeds that can be done, and everyone is rushing to do them. Now, not only are there not enough for the elderly ladies crossing the street, but even the elderly men are starting to grab some.”
"Ruyue is still missing two good deeds this week. These are the old ladies and grandfathers who didn't even have time to eat and went to the street with their classmates to wait for the old people to come out for a walk after dinner."
"Tsk~" Yan Jiuru felt a toothache after hearing this, "This has happened several times, right? Why is it still like this?"
"Who knows?" Rusong shrugged.
However, he remembered something and grinned, "Brother, you don't know that last week our classmate Zhang Wei was criticized by the teacher for doing good deeds."
"Why is this?" Chen Yin settled the child down and came over to overhear, and couldn't help feeling curious.
Rusong grinned, "Because someone had just helped that old lady across the street, and the old lady was standing on the side of the road looking for directions, he and another classmate ran over and helped the old lady back without saying a word!"
"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Our whole class fainted from laughing."
“Sister-in-law, you don’t know, that old lady was very angry because she didn’t want to cross the road that day.
As a result, just because I took a few glances at him on the side of the road, he was supported back and forth three times!
The old lady was stunned!
Haha~hahaha~
She originally wanted to go to the grocery store to buy vinegar, but she was delayed because she was waiting to eat dumplings at home...
"Pfft~" Chen Yin couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Why does this happen every year? I remember there was an old lady who was fought over by several groups of classmates last time."
Ga ga ga~
The three little ones didn’t know whether they understood or not, but they just followed along for fun.
***
After the family was settled, Chen Yin went into the kitchen and took a look. There were only a few eggs and some beans, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, etc. that looked like they were picked from Kuihua Hutong.
The pot was empty. It seemed that Ruyue was not at home and Rushong had no intention of cooking.
This brother and sister are both quite capable of dealing with each other.
"Let's have noodles tonight!"
Chen Yin walked around and returned to the main hall. She handed Rusong a few dollars and said, "I'll go to the grocery store to see if they have any meat. If they do, buy a piece of pork belly so we can make the eggplant and diced pork stew. If they don't, we can buy some cooked food. You can buy whatever you like."
"Hey, okay sister-in-law, dumplings on the bus and noodles on the bus. I also want to see if Ruyue has grabbed the old man."
After saying that, he ran out.
Zhuangzhuang rolled his eyes and shouted, "Uncle, take me with you~"
He rushed over like a little cannonball and hugged his thigh.
Rusong missed his nephew after not seeing him for a few days, so he let him take him with him. However, he said disdainfully, "You are such a follower, don't run around. There are so many lost children nowadays..."
***
Chen Yin kneaded the dough and set it aside, then went to wash the vegetables and prepare the braised meat.
Yan Jiuru was making a phone call in the room.
He called the factory first, and it was Assistant Ding who answered the phone.
"What time is it? Why haven't you gotten off work yet?" Yan Jiuru raised his wrist to check the time. It was already 6:55 in the evening.
Even though it wasn't sunset yet, it wasn't too early.
Assistant Ding said excitedly, "Director, you're home! Can you come to the factory tomorrow? You don't know, we're really busy right now, working overtime. Everyone is voluntarily leaving get off work later."
"Oh, how's the supporting factory doing?"
Yan Jiuru was not worried about his own factory. He founded Feiying and selected every core member of the factory. However, the supporting factory was more involved with the school, and the orders suddenly increased sharply. He didn't know whether the production capacity could keep up and whether there were any measures to be taken.
Speaking of the supporting factory, Assistant Ding paused and said, "How about we wait until you, the factory director, come to the factory tomorrow to talk about it? There's something really going on over there, and it's hard to explain in a few words..."
"If you can't explain it in one or two sentences, say four or five. If that doesn't work, say ten or eight and no one will stop you. Tell me, what's going on?" Yan Jiuru frowned, but still suppressed his unhappiness.
Assistant Ding sighed, "There are some constraints over there. Since we received the first order contract from the Canton Fair, in addition to our production and logistics meetings to assign tasks, we went to the supporting factories the next day to inform them of our order status.
Deputy Director Zhu went there in person. People there were quite happy at the time, but when the second contract came, something seemed amiss.
Anyway, it's not very harmonious, and I always feel like something is going on.
It’s just that we weren’t with them, so we couldn’t understand what was going on.”
"Okay, I know about this.
By the way, did Lao Zhu mention adding more staff?
Their factory only had about twenty people in total, and even fewer in production, so it was impossible for them to keep up with the orders. So, when he signed his first $2 million contract, he mentioned the hiring issue to Lao Zhu over the phone.
Feiying is affiliated with the 107th Institute and is collectively owned. It does not need to report if it recruits a small number of workers, but it still needs to inform the higher authorities if it recruits a large number of workers.
"Oh, Director Zhu said that we'll wait for you to come back and discuss how many positions to recruit and for what positions, and then we'll make a decision."
Yan Jiuru hung up the phone, thinking about the supporting factory while dealing with the second and third children who were clamoring to go to the shit.
***
Rusong and Zhuangzhuang didn't stay outside for long. They came back after buying some things.
Now that raising livestock and poultry has been liberalized, the meat supply in grocery stores is no longer so tight, and the amount of meat coupons people receive is more than double what it was before.
Rusong was holding less than a pound of lean meat in his hand. "There's only some lean meat left for side dishes. Let me buy this big piece. It's better than nothing."
Chen Yin took it, cleaned it, and asked her brother-in-law, "Have you seen Ruyue? It's time to treat her to dinner."
Rusong pulled up the corner of his mouth and said with a stifled smile, "She's waiting foolishly at the intersection ahead. I told her to come back for dinner later."
Zhuangzhuang also said: "My aunt said that we haven't seen Grandpa yet."
Yan Jiuru came over with the newly-taught pups in each hand and said casually, "If it doesn't work out, I'll pretend to be an old man and let her help me."
"Shh~"
Chen Yin laughed and punched him, "Go away, you're so smart."
Rusong shook his head. "Mr. Yang at the entrance of the alley is watching and saying, if all else fails, we can send another man to pretend to cross the street. That way, he can help two students meet their quota."
Chen Yin shook her head slightly. What was going on?
***
Ruyue ran back before dinner.
The pigtail was swung high.
His mouth was also pouting high.
"Is it because you didn't wait for grandpa and grandma?"
Ruyue snorted, "No way. Humph, we were robbed! Robbed! That nasty guy, obviously a sixth grader, actually stole our grandma!"
"Okay, there's no point in forcing yourself to do such a good thing. Let's eat." Chen Yin brought the noodles to the table.
Ruyue held her head high and snorted, "It's pointless. Even the teacher asked us to write an essay. We have to write three good deeds a week without repeating ourselves. We have to do it even if we have to."
She helped set the table and served the cooked dishes, including diced eggplant and pork, and stir-fried sour beans with minced meat and a hint of chili.
Zhuangzhuang has been able to eat spicy food since he was a child, and he especially likes minced meat and sour beans. The two little ones also had some noodles with diced eggplant. The others had their own preferences, but in the end, two large bowls of braised meat and a bowl of noodles were all cleared out.
"Oh, I haven't eaten so full in a few days." Rusong leaned back in the chair, touching his stomach and sighing.
After eating and drinking, Yan Jiuru took his younger brothers and sisters to clear the table, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen. Even Zhuangzhuang stumbled over and swept the floor with the two little ones.
It doesn’t matter whether it is clean or not, the key is to cultivate this awareness.
It is customary in their family that the person who cooks does not clean up after the meal.
***
The next day, Yan Jiuru and Chen Yin hurried back to school.
After the vacation, Chen Yin was busy making up lessons, and Yan Jiuru took the time to visit the supporting factory.
He walked around the production lines of each project team and didn't say much. He just notified the project leaders to come to the Feiying Factory for a meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon.
The project leaders didn't shirk responsibility, and for the time being, they didn't see any discord. Perhaps they were covering it up when they weren't showing it in front of him.
In fact, to be serious, Yan Jiuru is the actual person in charge of the supporting factory. The various projects below have obtained much more research funds than others thanks to Feiying.
It can be seen that everyone has their own accounts in their hearts.
***
As soon as Yan Jiuru appeared in the classroom, he was surrounded by Li Xiangdong and others.
"Get out of here, get out of here," Yan Jiuru said with disgust, but stuffed the heavy bag of snacks that she had brought for everyone into Li Xiangdong's pocket.
Li Xiangdong grabbed a handful of Yanjin dates, opened one and put it in his mouth, then put his arms around Yan Jiuru's neck. "Jiu Ge, was the Canton Fair fun? Tell me about it."
Except for Yan Jiuru who has already started a side job, most students are waiting for the state to assign them jobs after graduation. Not to mention the Canton Fair, even business trips and the like can only be listened to for fun.
"The professor is here."
Yan Jiuru attended several professional courses, borrowed notes from Li Xiangdong and copied them back. After the last class, he quickly got on the jeep that came to pick him up from the factory and went to Feiying Factory with several project leaders.
***
As soon as Yan Jiuru returned to the factory, he was warmly welcomed by all the twenty or so employees.
Even though he was busy on the production line, he expressed his excitement and even shed tears of joy when Yan Jiuru came to the production workshop.
In the Eagle's conference room.
The deputy director in charge, the workshop director, the assistant director, the logistics director Tong, the administration, marketing, sales, and accounting also attended the meeting. In addition, there were five project leaders from the supporting factory, who were responsible for the wheels, built-in audio, tires, batteries, and small motors.
Yan Jiuru sat at one end of the main seat and first reported the results of the Canton Fair, especially the number of contracts actually signed. As for the specific contract amounts, he did not mention them specifically, after all, the supporting factories were considered separate people.
These contracts stipulate delivery dates and design changes, especially for customized adult toy cars.
Yan Jiuru asked Zhu Changbing: "How much inventory do you have now? Does it meet the contracts in those regions?"
Zhu Changbing said: "We started working overtime after receiving the first order. Now we have 35 qualified products coming off the production line. We could have more, but the supply from the supporting factory can't keep up, especially for the built-in speakers. We are already on backorder for 50 units.
Some semi-finished products nowadays do not have built-in speakers. As long as they are installed and pass the inspection, they can be put into the finished product warehouse."
As he spoke, he glanced at Meng Kun, the project leader in charge of the sound system, and said, "When does Team Leader Meng plan to deliver the goods? We are all waiting."
