The three aunties gave a show of force to a group of ten neighbors on the street.
The ten newcomers were furious, but they didn't dare to say anything in front of Director Wang. It was too much of a bullying.
The three aunties were also trying to gain management power for their husbands, Yan Fugui, by first giving them a hard time.
But once the point is made, the three women immediately change their lecturing tone and apologize: "Oh dear, look at that mouth of yours, I misspoke, I'm so sorry!"
"Hmph, you're really something!" Director Wang was furious, but what could he say to her?
Did they admit their mistake?
This is called being publicly humiliated. If you keep putting on airs, are you scared?
Wu Wei, who was watching the commotion from a distance, learned something new and muttered unconsciously, "The people in this courtyard are all incredibly capable!"
"Isn't that right? This third auntie is starting to seize power. She even dared to embarrass Director Wang directly. She's not trying to show off her power, but rather she's cheering and building momentum to consolidate Yan Fugui's position." Tian Juan could tell that the people in the courtyard were not to be trifled with.
Don't underestimate these three unassuming women; they can really prove their worth in a crucial moment.
A few words were enough to stump Director Wang.
If even Director Wang was put in a bad position, how could anyone else dare to find fault or disobey orders?
This is tantamount to a real show of force!
If you're not happy about it, then face reality!
Wu Wei was truly amazed: "Aren't they afraid Zheng Ya will get angry if they act so recklessly?"
"Girl, you're wrong again."
On the contrary, Zheng Ya hoped that someone capable of managing people would emerge in the courtyard to take charge of the overall situation, so that Zheng Ya could be a hands-off manager.
Or perhaps you've never truly understood Zheng Ya's true nature.
Zheng Ya is a cultivator who pursues the ultimate in martial arts. He doesn't want to deal with too many worldly affairs, but he has to enter the world to cultivate his mind in order to refine his character.
Therefore, in order to cultivate his spiritual practice, Zheng Ya would inevitably need to train several talents to manage worldly affairs and help him manage all matters, big and small, at the planting base.
"Conflicts and disputes between people are all part of Zheng Ya's experience in the mortal world. He only needs to get a feel for things and control the situation so that it doesn't get out of control," Old Yuan explained to her.
In Lao Yuan's opinion, if Zheng Ya hadn't been wholeheartedly pursuing the ultimate in martial arts, he wouldn't have been able to reach a level that he hadn't achieved in most of his life at such a young age.
Talent is part of the reason.
Personal effort is the key.
Wu Wei hadn't expected Old Yuan to analyze Zheng Ya's cultivation will. She nodded slightly and said, "Could it be that I really misjudged him?"
He was originally neither lustful, nor greedy, nor interested in power; he was solely focused on cultivating himself and refining his mind amidst the mortal world. Is that right?
"Wei'er, are you comparing yourself to him? There's no need for that. Everyone has their own destiny. You can't force it." Tian Juan was very worried about her mindset, feeling that she was becoming a bit obsessed.
Wu Wei did not deny it: "I've been competitive since I was a child, and I've never lost to any of my peers except for Zheng Ya. Why should I?"
"Your mindset isn't as calm and composed as his; he has a broad mind, is open-minded, and tolerant. You can learn from him, but please don't compare yourself to him!" Old Yuan was genuinely worried that she might go astray.
In trying to surpass Zheng Ya, he neglected his own self-cultivation, which was a case of losing more than he gained.
At this moment, Zheng Ya sensed that Director Wang had brought people, so he sent Yan Fugui to fetch them, not taking the Third Aunt's attempt to intimidate people seriously at all.
That's just how the world is; one should simply let go of worldly concerns.
This is the norm in daily life, and Zheng Ya naturally wouldn't interfere.
Yan Fugui trotted into the courtyard, glanced at Director Wang who was glaring at him with a dark face, and pushed up his glasses with a puzzled look, saying, "Director Wang, you've arrived. Please come in."
We're starting work this afternoon, you've arrived just in time!
"Really? You're the one who arranges all the work at Zheng Ya's planting base?" Director Wang retorted irritably.
The ten newcomers listened intently.
Meanwhile, the third uncle kept giving Yan Fugui meaningful glances. Having lived with him for decades, Yan Fugui immediately understood and said, "Director Wang, you're joking."
As a mere steward, I only follow Zheng Ya's decisions and dare not accept praise from the director. Please proceed.
"Oh, I heard that you only reserved permanent positions for the ten neighbors behind me after drawing lots in your courtyard?" Director Wang was a man of pride and couldn't let the three aunties shut him up and just let it go.
Otherwise, how can she, as the director, command respect and carry out her work?
Yan Fugui, as if he were a shrewd person, guessed the problem between them and said with a faint smile, "Director Wang has misunderstood."
The staff in our institute had already drawn lots to determine the positions of permanent and temporary workers.
You're late, please don't misunderstand.
But the process of drawing lots to assign work positions still needs to go through?
"Oh, I misheard. Zheng Ya came up with this novel idea of drawing lots to determine workstations. Look at the mess this has made. Let's go quickly so I, the director of education, can have a good look at your workstation lottery."
"Well done, shall I help you promote it?" Director Wang realized that the couple were using this as a cover to carry out their show of force to the end.
Since things have come to this point, pursuing any further accountability would only be pointless.
Borrowing a donkey to go downhill is the right thing to do.
Yan Fugui chuckled and led them to the planting base. Zheng Ya took a few steps to greet them symbolically: "Director Wang is here, welcome, welcome!"
"I can't accept your audience. Hurry up and arrange for the person to be sent down. I'm busy with my own affairs." Director Wang felt intimidated by him. In the end, he had lost his heart, and it was impossible to reconcile.
Zheng Ya pointed to the small paper ball on the table in the central pavilion and said, "You ten go up and draw lots!"
There are only two permanent employees; the other eight are temporary workers.
In principle, positions are filled through competition, with the best candidates being selected and the least qualified being eliminated, based on individual abilities.
Those who have temporarily secured permanent positions should not be arrogant, as they may be squeezed out and relegated to temporary work at any time!
Temporary workers get 18 yuan a month, permanent workers get 100 yuan, benefits are extra. Let's draw lots!
"Wow, they really decide by drawing lots?" Director Wang was also surprised. It was the first time he had ever seen workstations in the company decided by drawing lots. It was quite novel.
Ten people stepped forward one after another to draw lots, and it was immediately clear what their mindset was.
Those who lag behind don't compete or fight, while those who are reserved don't show their weakness; are they just putting on an act?
In short, everyone had their own performance, which Zheng Ya could see clearly. He secretly decided on the selection of formal employees, saying, "I value naturalness and easygoingness. In order to avoid conflicts and disputes among everyone, drawing lots is the most suitable method."
Ultimately, it's a competitive selection process, and the job position isn't fixed; it all depends on individual effort. What does Director Wang think?
"Hmm, you're using flattery to discourage them, to motivate the workers. I must say, you've set a good example, impressive!" Director Wang was also impressed. This kind of business model, if done well, would be a model of excellence, with extraordinary significance!
Seeing that everyone had decided on their workstations, Zheng Ya smiled and said, "Alright, I'll have four full-time employees: two farming experts and two vegetable growing experts."
In addition, Yan Fugui's management of the cashier is considered an extra source of income, but everyone is equally eligible to compete for it.
Your task is to divide the land and plant crops according to the requirements of the ten technicians.
Whether it's a test field with or without fertilizer, you must strictly follow the technician's instructions for planting. Shall we begin?
