"Don't you think so, old leader?" Chen Suwen asked him in return.
Fu Junqing frowned slightly. "You want to put your things on consignment at the supply and marketing cooperative? That's against the rules."
Private individuals are not allowed to engage in business now, and there is no precedent for individuals to consign their goods here at the supply and marketing cooperative.
If we agree to Chen Suwen's request, what if something goes wrong and it implicates the supply and marketing cooperative?
The main concern is, what if he gets implicated in the end?
"Boss, we can do what others do: the supply and marketing cooperative buys the bread we make, and then we resell it through the supply and marketing cooperative. Wouldn't that make sense?"
"Our supply and marketing cooperative also buys goods from the communes below and sells them, doesn't it?"
Most of the goods from the commune and production brigade would be brought to the supply and marketing cooperative for sale.
It only means that individuals are not allowed to do business or engage in speculation, but supply and marketing cooperatives do purchase agricultural products.
What Chen Suwen said was pretty much the same.
When the time comes, they can make bread at home, bring it to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell here, and then the supply and marketing cooperative will resell it. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
The process is the same as acquiring the property of the communes and brigades below.
“Boss, we also made the bread with great effort. This doesn’t count as speculation, right?” Chen Suwen maintained her smile.
Fu Junqing frowned. "It's hard to say. I need to consult with my superiors."
Fu Junqing was only concerned with avoiding mistakes, not seeking credit. If he did things without consulting his superiors first, he would suffer the consequences if something went wrong.
He still wanted to continue living a stable life, with no desire for promotion or to have his position taken by someone else.
“Boss, you can make the decision on such a small matter.”
Fu Junqing looked at him and said, "Stop stirring things up. Let's discuss this further first."
"If the leaders allow it, could your family bake bread and bring it over every day?"
Chen Suwen shook her head, "Boss, how can we make it every day? Making it every few days is enough. Bread doesn't have a very long shelf life."
"Bread usually keeps for two or three days at best, or it might spoil overnight."
"So we make it every few days, otherwise if we can't sell it all on the same day and it goes bad, wouldn't that be a huge waste?"
Fu Junqing understood what she meant.
"Okay, we'll see."
"You go back first. I'll ask the other leaders later to see if they can accept the bread you make."
Since they can purchase agricultural and sideline products from the communes and brigades below, then the bread made by Chen Suwen's family can also be purchased as an agricultural and sideline product.
Chen Suwen has been a long-time employee of their supply and marketing cooperative. Although she is now "retired," her son still works here.
Since that's the case, we can give her some face.
Of course, Fu Junqing was just giving her face by asking the leader if it would work.
If the leadership firmly insists that it's impossible, he certainly won't do anything unnecessary.
He didn't sacrifice his job for Chen Suwen; he wasn't that "great."
Chen Suwen understood Fu Junqing's meaning, thanked him, and then prepared to leave with her son.
"Boss, you can have a taste of these. I'll be going now."
"Don't worry about it being called a bribe. It's just a few bites of food, which I made myself. It's not worth much money, so it doesn't count as a bribe."
"I'll be going now."
After Chen Suwen finished speaking, she left with her son. Of course, once they left the leader's office, they went their separate ways.
Her son had to go to work, so she wanted to go home by herself.
