Yu Yin placed job postings in the newspaper, as well as advertisements for cooked food wholesale, and later for ham sausages, effectively spreading the word far and wide.
Now all four production lines of the ham sausage factory are up and running, and all the staff are in place, including the HR manager who has been a headache for us.
Speaking of this HR manager, Yu Yin and her colleagues had some interaction with her.
"Hello, Yu Yin, I'm Xie Nanfei." This was Yu Yin's opening line during her interview with the HR manager. Judging from her tone, the interviewer knew her, but Yu Yin didn't.
"Hello, do we know each other?" Yu Yin asked uncertainly, a little confused.
"You don't know me, but I know you. We're alumni from the same year, just in different majors."
I've run into you in the professor's office a few times, but you always come and go in a hurry. You didn't participate in many activities during your university years; you lived a very low-key life. However, you and your partner were still quite eye-catching on campus; everyone said you were a rare, loving couple.
Xie Nanfei brought this up not to build connections, but because she found it amazing that the boss was someone she knew when she came for the interview.
"Thank you, but I'm not very good at interpersonal relationships. I didn't have much social interaction during college. But, what's this all about?" Yu Yin was a little confused. Judging from Xie Nanfei's words and actions, this woman seemed to be a strong, successful career woman. She must be doing well at work, good-looking, and a college graduate with a bright future. Why was she applying for a job here?
Xie Nanfei knew she would be asked this question. After all, her original factory was one of the top in Shanghai. Without a reasonable explanation, it would be hard for people to believe that she would give up a large factory and settle for a small private factory.
"It's not anything unusual, just pretty dramatic. After graduating from university, I was assigned to the personnel department of the factory. With hard work, I was expected to become the second-in-command of the personnel department. Once the head retired, I could dominate the department."
I never expected that before the top leader had even stepped down, someone who came through connections—a young and beautiful woman, a high school graduate who knew nothing—would stand in my way.
How could I accept this? After graduating from high school, I joined the factory's trade union and worked my way up to vice chairman. Later, I went to university and devoted most of my time to work. Yet, someone who knew nothing about it snatched the job away from me.
Later, I found out that this woman was our deputy factory director's lover. You know, if you're the deputy factory director's lover, why don't you go be his secretary and instead come here to cause me trouble? Our factory is about to retire, so we turn a blind eye to many things; he wanted a safe landing.
Our deputy factory director is quite influential and capable, but his only weakness is his womanizing and complicated romantic relationships. He used to gloat when others suffered, but now his fortunes have turned against him!
I had a huge argument with the deputy factory director, and not wanting to suffer in silence, I resigned and left.
Yu Yin sensed helplessness and regret in Xie Nanfei's words. She had probably acted impulsively, and now there was no turning back.
"She regretted it, realizing she acted impulsively and could have held back?" Yu Yin analyzed Xie Nanfei's mindset at the time and understood it well.
"It would be a lie to say I don't regret it. At my age and in this situation, it's very difficult to start over. I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my energy isn't what it used to be. But I can't bring myself to compromise and endure humiliation." Xie Nanfei has been under a lot of pressure lately. She lost her job, her family doesn't understand and is very worried, and she herself can't sleep at night.
"What is lost on one front is gained on another." Yu Yin had read Xie Nanfei's resume and found her to be very capable. She had always worked in personnel matters, from the union to human resources, and had done a great job in both.
"I hope so. No matter what, life has to go on. There's no going back. You can only move forward; there's no turning back. I don't like going back either." Although Xie Nanfei felt she had acted impulsively, she had never considered going back. That wasn't in her nature; she would never do it.
"Welcome to Green Sprouts. We look forward to your future performance." Yu Yin extended her hand, looking at Xie Nanfei.
"Stay tuned, you won't be disappointed!" Xie Nanfei remained confident, just like always.
Yu Yin showed Xie Nanfei around the factory and introduced her to the staff. Zhong Liang and He Haifeng weren't there; only Liang Chao was present.
"Great! I can relax now. You're Xiao Xie, right? I'll give you the relevant HR documents later. Thank you for your hard work." Liang Chao was overjoyed to hear that it was the new HR manager. He was simply too busy, and he wasn't familiar with HR at all, which had left him feeling overwhelmed.
"Brother Liang, let's do it tomorrow. Today, let the director familiarize himself with the environment. You won't miss half a day if you don't come to work tomorrow."
Yu Yin noticed that Brother Liang's hair had thinned even more. Could it be that she had given him too much work?
Yu Yin suddenly had a change of heart and decided to go to the department store tomorrow to see if they had any good shampoo and buy one bottle for each of Liang Ge and He Haifeng. She wanted to take precautions, especially since Zhong Liang and He Haifeng weren't married yet, and going bald would affect their chances of finding partners.
Xie Nanfei had no idea that Yu Yin was preoccupied with the shampoo. She was quite shocked. This alumna was really impressive. Putting aside the size of the factory, the design concept was extraordinary, and it even had a sewage system, which many large factories didn't have.
Xie Nanfei returned home full of confidence, feeling that her career was about to begin its second spring.
Yu Yin is much more relaxed now. The staff is basically all in place, and the ham sausages have entered department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives in several cities. They have also negotiated deals with train stations in two other cities. He Haifeng is in high spirits and walks with a swagger.
The cooked food processing plant is also thriving, with many people coming to wholesale every day, lining up before dawn. Da Xiong is busy adding stoves, checking quality, and ensuring that the goods are packed without making mistakes. He wishes he had more hands.
The vegetarian braised dishes that were added later became even more popular than the meat dishes, since meat is always more expensive than vegetables.
In July of that year, Yu Yin finally saw a return on her investment. The ham sausage factory and the cooked food processing plant were making a profit every day. Wang Qiming was no longer sighing and constantly spending money. He, as the finance director, was afraid that he would be beaten up one day if he couldn't pay wages. Now, he was all smiles, his eyes lighting up at the sight of money!
We have the money, but there are still many places where we need to spend it. The most urgent thing is that we don't have enough cars.
The ham sausage factory is shipping pork offal to the cooked food processing plant, and they're so busy every day that they can't keep up with the demand.
Zhong Liang has already inquired with the military. If there are suitable decommissioned vehicles, he will sign up first, as this is an opportunity that will not come again.
Unbeknownst to Yu Yin, while she was basking in the joy of receiving money, bad news was on its way, bringing another small setback to her life!
