Chapter 134
Back at the Fourth Food Factory, the scene was still bustling with activity.
Several large trucks were waiting in the factory area, and shirtless workers were carrying the goods on their tanned backs.
When the shipping supervisor saw Tong Tong, he immediately reported happily: "Director, the shipping speed is very stable now, and the order queue will last until the end of the year."
Tong Tong curled her lips, encouraged him a few words, and hurried into the office.
The momentum of "athletic power" is very good. Although the growth rate is not as amazing as that during the Olympics, it is also slowly rising. She should be happy, but at this moment she feels a little tired.
Going up the stairs, there is an office sitting side by side on the top floor, which belongs to her and Pang Xiaopeng.
She is a factory director with a regular worker status. Strictly speaking, Pang Xiaopeng is not a formal employee of the factory, but can only be regarded as a specially invited guest.
However, they have been friends for many years and have worked in the countryside together, so after being elected as the factory director, Tong Tong simply got a large office, which was considered a suite. She placed two desks outside, one for her and one for Pang Xiaopeng, and a separate desk in the inner room of the office was separated by a screen - it was specially reserved for Sister Lan.
Although Chen Lanjun did not spend much time working in the Fourth Food Factory, Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng agreed that they should reserve a position for her.
There was even a pot of roses on the desk, and Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng would take turns watering it every two days.
When I pushed open the door of the office building, Pang Xiaopeng was holding a kettle and watering the pot of roses.
When she looked up and saw Pang Xiaopeng's expression, she knew that today would not be a smooth day: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Tong Tong closed the door with a heavy sound.
"Next year, perhaps our factory will no longer be a contracting factory."
She told her leader everything she had seen and heard today.
Pang Xiaopeng frowned, thought for a while, and said, "So what do you think?"
Tong Tong smiled bitterly: "Can I just do whatever I feel?"
No matter what, the Fourth Food Factory is also a state-owned enterprise. The contract agreement signed previously seems to be non-compliant and has no legal support at all, not to mention that the deadline has expired.
The two looked at each other, both a little anxious.
At first I just thought that if I achieved the target, I could continue the contract. But I didn't expect that the target would be achieved too well and exceeded, which would affect this matter.
Pang Xiaopeng asked: "So do we want to change it back?"
"It is likely that they will discuss this further."
"Then, our agreement with Sister Lan..."
"I don't know either!" Tong Tong sat down on the office chair, her tone a little anxious, sounding like she was talking big, "It's not like I'm looking for trouble on purpose!"
"I didn't say anything about you." Pang Xiaopeng frowned.
"You've said a lot before." Tong Tong said without thinking.
Pang Xiaopeng was stunned in disbelief.
Before, Pang Xiaopeng had advised Tong Tong several times in private. Although his tone was tactful, his intention was to advise her to put herself in the right position. The achievements of the Fourth Food Factory and Dongli were inseparable from Chen Lanjun's planning and guidance. He hoped that she would not become a little proud because of the many commendations and praises she received.
Tong Tong agreed to everything at the time and was respectful to Chen Lanjun as always. She thought it was nothing and didn't mention it.
I didn't expect Tong Tong to bring up this today.
Pang Xiaopeng said: "No, you are still upset about it?"
"Oh, how dare I do that?" Tong Tong said angrily. "Don't you, the military supervisor, still exist here? With my status, how dare I do that?"
Pang Xiaopeng's presence here more or less plays a supervisory role. For example, Tong Tong's signature on the factory's financial statements is not enough, she has to review them again.
Over time, I started to feel a bit resentful.
Pang Xiaopeng put the kettle in his hand on the windowsill and said, "Tong Tong, what do you mean by this?"
"I mean what you think I mean!"
"you--"
These two people rarely had a quarrel, but when they did, all their past grievances came to the surface like a stirred pond.
Even the fact that he secretly ate a few pounds of sweet potatoes when he went to the countryside to work in the production team was brought up and quarreled about.
The employees outside were dumbfounded by the quarrel, fearing that they might do something wrong and offend these two ladies.
Just kidding, these are the real top and second-in-command of the factory. If you get involved, your future will be unpredictable.
*** ***
Pengcheng City, Pengda, is brightly lit at night.
Chen Lanjun stood on the podium, explaining some basic English grammar.
After class, I was about to answer some questions from students, but a colleague came over and said, "Teacher Chen, there's a call for you."
Chen Lanjun had to hurriedly say goodbye to the students and go to answer the phone.
It’s so late, and she’s calling me at school to find me. There must be something wrong.
Picking up the receiver, Pang Xiaopeng's voice came from the other end, very aggrieved: "Sister Lan, I really have no second thoughts about you!"
Chen Lanjun was confused: "What's wrong?"
"It's hard to say, Xiao Peng might have some misunderstanding about me, and something happened in the factory..."
Tong Tong spoke a long speech, and Chen Lanjun was confused.
Just as I was about to ask, the call was suddenly disconnected and a new call came in.
It was Pang Xiaopeng who called, and the first thing he said was: "Sister Lan, I'm sorry, I may have said something wrong..."
Chen Lanjun:?
Did these two people make an appointment or something?
After listening quietly to what Pang Xiaopeng said, combined with the previous call from Tong Tong, who she hadn't finished listening to, Chen Lanjun roughly understood two things.
First, Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng had a quarrel.
Second, the contracting plan for the Fourth Food Factory is expected to be in limbo.
These are all tricky things.
After thinking about it, she talked to Pang Xiaopeng and Tong Tong separately and asked them to come to Pengcheng City at the weekend so that they could talk in person if they had anything to say.
At night, Chen Lanjun sat cross-legged on a chair, facing a piece of paper, thinking about various possibilities and countermeasures.
Although Tong Tong and Pang Xiaopeng had quarreled, both of them mentioned that they were worried about the other party being angry during the two phone calls, so the conflict was probably not out of control. As the big sister, she should be able to mediate.
The problem is the leaders’ attitude towards the Fourth Food Factory.
After the emergence of "Sports Power", the Fourth Food Factory was promoted to a hen that lays golden eggs.
Chen Lanjun has estimated that at this rate of shipment and growth, by the end of this year, there will be at least seven or eight million.
If everything goes well, next year, the sales of "sports power" drinks alone will reach tens of millions, which is definitely a number that will attract many people.
It is not surprising that they asked for profit re-handling instead of contracting. But for them and the workers in the factory, if they don’t handle it well, it will easily damage their enthusiasm for production.
Moreover, they can change their attitude at will, either refusing to recognize the contract and returning to the previous model. So, what will they think of Zhengmei Company taking half of the profits?
Chen Lanjun sighed, leaned over the table, and had a slight headache.
