Lin Tian listened to Xin Youcai's complaints for an hour in the teahouse.
One of the grocery stores he managed was given to him after a joint venture.
The original boss's surname was Zheng. He was old and a little sick. He had only one daughter named Zheng Xue, who had been married for a long time and was probably in her 30s.
But since Boss Zheng was too lazy to move, he handed the store over to his daughter, and his son-in-law also has a proper job.
There was also a public manager in the store named Ma Jiawang. The public managers at that time had complicated backgrounds. Some were arranged by the street, some were arranged during the previous temporary control period, and some were arranged by higher-level departments like Xin Youcai. In short, they were not completely managed by their superiors, so it could be said to be very complicated.
This Ma Jiawang is also a shifty guy. I don't know how he became the official manager of this store. At least it has been like this since Xin Youcai took office.
Everything has been normal since Xin Youcai took office, until a while ago when supplies became tight.
The problem is that the manager Gong Fang also has the right to dividends, and a portion of the store’s profits must be allocated to him every year.
But after the shortage of supplies, the store is now almost in the negative after deducting various expenses such as employee salaries.
Ma Jiawang looked for Xin Youcai several times, but Xin Youcai was unable to solve the problem either.
At this time, everyone is short of supplies, and you have to wait in line if you cooperate with others. At this time, industry comes first and people's livelihood comes second.
So the store became idle.
After all these interactions, no one knew how Zheng Xue and Ma Jiawang came to love each other.
The most important thing is that the two people were probably too close in the store and were discovered by Ma Jiawang’s wife.
Ma Jiawang’s wife was not someone to be trifled with either. She went back to her parents’ home and found a few of her brothers to beat up Zheng Xue. It caused quite a stir at the time.
Zheng's father would not let go easily after seeing his daughter being beaten, and Zheng Xue and Ma Jiawang could not admit it, so the matter ended up in a big-brimmed hat.
Zheng Xue and Ma Jiawang are both fine.
All the brothers of Ma Jiawang's wife were punished.
After this incident, the relationship between Ma Jiawang and his wife became even more strained, so he simply kept an eye on the two of them every day.
Zheng Xue didn't want to keep making trouble in the store, so she asked Xin Youcai to mediate twice but it didn't work.
Later, he used the excuse of taking Ma Jiawang down to make Ma Jiawang's wife calm down.
Logically, the matter should have ended here, but the bad thing is that Ma Jiawang and Zheng Xue really have something going on.
There is no wall that is impenetrable. Slowly the news spread.
Ma Jiawang's wife doesn't have a job and doesn't have to go to work. She reports to Xin Youcai every day.
Xin Youcai had no choice but to transfer Ma Jiawang away.
"Haha, for this kind of bullshit, you might as well just give me a wide-brimmed hat as a gift. You really can afford to make such a fuss." Lin Tian said with a smile.
Xin Youcai said helplessly: "Do you think I don't want to? I don't know how this Ma Jiawang got along. He has a good relationship with the big-brimmed hats nearby. They don't care at all."
"I was thinking of looking for a street corner, but then I thought I couldn't afford to lose face, so I gave up."
"That's quite annoying. Did you check where this Ma Jiawang was arranged from?" Lin Tian asked. Having such a person under your command will sooner or later be a bomb, so it is better to deal with him as soon as possible.
"I checked, and it seems to have been arranged during the temporary control. I don't know who did it. Let's see later." Xin Youcai was also a little helpless.
Lin Tian understood what he heard. Xin Youcai was afraid that Ma Jiawang had some background or had helped someone in the past, so he turned a blind eye to some small things. At that time, many people were very powerful, and Xin Youcai was also worried that he could not afford to offend them.
"What happened next? Didn't it cause you any trouble?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
"Of course he has. He is still not at peace now. His store is not as good as the Zheng family's. He is even more tired of it. He comes to me to complain whenever he has nothing to do."
"He said he wanted to go back to his original shop. Do you think I can let him go back? I don't know what kind of trouble he would cause me then!"
Lin Tian listened and nodded.
Xin Youcai continued, "By separating them, at least I won't be held responsible as a leader. If there are any problems in the future, they will be their own problems."
"That's not bad! I tell you, there's a manager at the public office who can't read a single word."
"He has a strong background. I can't move him. If I don't keep an eye on him, the store will be emptied out."
"He can't even do math, what do you think I should do? I have to endure it myself. I have to send an accountant to clean up for him every three to five days. The private owner of this company doesn't care about it at all now. He doesn't even work for the company and just takes some fixed interest."
"That store, I...I've reported all the problems to the higher-ups, and there's nothing I can do if they don't handle it."
"Haha, Director Xin, this is really not easy for you." Lin Tian almost died of laughter after hearing this. He really didn't know what these people were thinking. It would be great to find a leisurely nursing department with such strong connections.
Just look at Wang Mingyu’s past and you’ll know that he doesn’t care whether he comes to work or not.
"I can't help it. There are too many people and too many things going on there."
"Just today I told you about this matter of supplies. I also know that the higher-ups give them less, but if I don't fight for it, they will come to me to make trouble. It's so annoying." Xin Youcai complained.
"Don't worry, Director Xin. I will definitely try my best to get it for you." Lin Tian said.
"Then thank you very much. Any more is better." Xin Youcai said.
“However, Director Xin, you have seen the amount of supplies we have now. It probably won’t be of any use if I add more.” Lin Tian also sighed.
"I understand, I understand. Anyway, I'm trying my best. If these people make trouble again next time, let them figure it out themselves." Xin Youcai said helplessly.
"That's fine. These people have strong backgrounds. Let them figure it out themselves. There's no problem paying the full amount. Haha." Lin Tian said with a smile.
"Hmph, these people use their connections to do shitty things, but when it comes to real business, they all hide away." Xin Youcai seemed quite dissatisfied with Manager Gong Fang under him.
"It's almost time today, let's stop here. I've noted what you said, and I'll think of a solution when I have the chance." Lin Tian said.
"Okay, I'll have to go to the storage and transportation department to look for it later." Xin Youcai said.
"Okay, see you later."
"See you later."
Lin Tian watched Xin Youcai go to the storage and transportation department. Due to work convenience, the storage and transportation department's office was not together with Lin Tian and the others, so there was still some distance between them.
Watching Xin Youcai walking away, Lin Tian also smiled. Being an official is really a tough job. Even Xin Youcai, who is obsessed with power, has become like this.
Looking at Xin Youcai, Lin Tian suddenly thought of Liu Haizhong.
Why is Liu still in such a mess? It seems that we need to find something to teach Liu a lesson.
