Chapter 628 It's good to have a big tree to lean on.
Xiao Jiang asked Lu Qiaoge frankly, "Xiao Lu, is this factory still being built in the name of your Xiangyang Subdistrict Office?"
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "At present, relying on Xiangyang Subdistrict Office is quite convenient."
Xiao Jiang said, "I heard that there are very few unemployed young people in the 516 group, almost none. So, is your recruitment this time going to be external, that is, recruiting locally?"
Xiao Jiang was somewhat tempted.
It's said that it's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.
516 is like a big tree. Even though Lu Qiaoge's business has expanded so much, she still relies on Xiangyang Subdistrict Office and the military factory because it's good to have a big tree to lean on.
The current situation is indeed very complicated, and a slight misstep could lead to a major disaster.
However, due to the special nature of 516, many things became simpler in the factory.
Otherwise, Lu Qiaoge's career wouldn't have progressed so smoothly.
If we can recruit externally this time, it will be the same as passing the entrance exam for a military factory.
Lu Qiaoge glanced at Xiao Jiang and said in a low voice, "My plan is to recruit workers locally, but it still needs the approval of the leaders."
When Lu Qiaoge called him Brother Jiang, Xiao Jiang knew that if there were job openings in the local area, he would have the advantage of being close to the source.
Although Lu Qiaoge didn't say it explicitly, this was a tacit promise to him.
Xiao Jiang's face was all smiles.
Every family has its own set of problems.
He has a large family, with seven children in total. He has a younger brother and two younger sisters, and he was among the group of children who were sent to the countryside as part of the "sent-down youth" movement.
The problem now is that if they want to return to the city, they simply cannot do so without a receiving unit.
Although this place is located in a border town, if the factory is 516, it is a place that many educated youth who went to the countryside and wanted to return to the city would not even dare to dream of.
Even without saying it explicitly, Xiao Jiang gratefully said to Lu Qiaoge, "Xiao Lu, thank you so much!"
Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, if this factory is built, it will recruit more than 500 people. If you really have the idea, you should prepare in advance."
There are definitely requirements regarding household registration when hiring.
Xiao Jiang nodded seriously.
The household registration is a real problem; he needs to figure out who to ask for help to resolve it as quickly as possible.
After a while, Lao Zhou also came to the main office. Lu Qiaoge told Lao Zhou about the matter. Lao Zhou had no objection, but he reminded Lu Qiaoge to try to bargain if possible.
No matter what, the money we earn is hard-earned.
Every penny must be spent wisely.
——
Xiangyang Food Factory is still working overtime to fulfill Chuhe's urgent order.
Lu Qiaoge learned from Sister Zhao that Liang Min wanted to work overtime and wanted to work overtime with everyone.
Sister Zhao said that this person has a very strong sense of collective honor.
Moreover, he works hard and is very conscientious; last month, he was even recognized as a production pacesetter in the workshop.
The problem now is that Liang Min wants to work overtime. She ate a bite of food and rushed to the workshop. You can't exactly drag her out of the workshop, can you?
In that case, Liang Min will never be able to hold her head up in the workshop again.
Lu Qiaoge nodded: "Then let's do it according to her own wishes."
Lu Qiaoge also wanted to see if this old woman Tian would be like old woman Li, not stopping until she caused some trouble.
Lu Qiaoge decided to work overtime as well.
Qin Hengzhi called, and Lu Qiaoge told him that she had to work overtime with the workers.
Qin Hengzhi asked about the time on the phone, gave Lu Qiaoge a few instructions, and then hung up.
Because Lu Qiaoge doesn't only manage this one factory, she is very busy.
Then the workers saw that Lu Qiaoge was also working overtime and became even more motivated.
The production task was supposed to end around 9 p.m., but the food factory workers started leaving get off work around 8:30 p.m.
But it must be very tiring.
Exhausted, Liang Min returned home, only to be greeted by a messy living room and angry family members when she opened the door.
Liang Min's heart tightened. Director Zhao didn't let her work overtime today, but she didn't want to fall behind. She wanted to be with everyone and didn't want to be the one who was different.
She actually prefers her workplace.
Moreover, Director Zhao also said that the production task could be completed ahead of schedule in three more days.
Three days... I should be able to make it through.
But at that moment, her mother-in-law put her hands on her hips and looked at her fiercely.
The father-in-law sat in a chair, puffing on his pipe, his face showing a helpless resignation.
The younger brother-in-law stood angrily at the kitchen door, holding a steamed bun made from two kinds of flour that he had made that morning. When he saw her come back, he glared at her fiercely.
The husband, with a dark expression, was feeding the child water. When he saw her come in, he merely raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with disappointment and exhaustion.
"You still know how to come back?" Old Mrs. Tian was even angrier when she saw her enter. She rushed over angrily, "I'm going to talk to your factory manager today. Why does Lu Qiaoge have the right to torment people like this? She's exploiting the working class. This is the behavior of an evil capitalist."
She's unmarried, childless, and penniless, completely carefree. So why can't others have a family? My son's wife works at a food factory; she goes there regularly, not as a slave sold to the factory!
These words were like a bucket of ice water poured over Liang Minxin's head.
Exhausted and angry, she trembled all over: "Mom, don't talk nonsense..."
"I don't care what she's like, all I know is that in my whole life, I've never seen a wife like you!"
Old Mrs. Tian became more and more agitated as she spoke, grabbing a palm-leaf fan from the doorway and heading out: "I'm going to find Lu Qiaoge today. I want to ask her whether her factory is more important or the lives of my whole family!"
"Mom, don't go!" Liang Min hurriedly stopped her mother-in-law, her face pale.
She knew that if this matter got to the factory and her colleagues heard about it, how could she face them in the future, and what would they think of her?
"I'm going! Are you going to let me through or not?" Old Granny Tian shoved Liang Min aside, her cloudy eyes filled with stubbornness and resentment: "I want to see if Lu Qiaoge has three heads and six arms, and can make everyone in 516 revolve around her!"
As she said this, Old Lady Tian felt full of fighting spirit.
Lu Qiaoge is a capable person.
Within the jurisdiction of Xiangyang Subdistrict Office, residents who know her either admire her or fear her.
Old Mrs. Tian didn't believe in that superstition.
Now the working people are in charge, so why should they be forced to work overtime?
At this moment, Liang Min rushed to Old Tian's mother, grabbed her arm, and said urgently, "Mom, don't go... It's my fault. I asked to work overtime. Director Lu and the director don't want me to work overtime anymore, but I thought there are only three days left, and I want to stick it out. Besides, Meng Qingshan and Zhou Li are in charge of us. Why are you looking for Lu Qiaoge?"
Old Mrs. Tian is in very good health.
Liang Min was truly exhausted after a long day. She stood in front of the machine for five hours straight in the afternoon, leaving her not only weak in the hands but also with limp legs.
What she needed at that moment was rest, not to argue with Old Tian's wife.
So she was shoved aside by Old Tian's wife, who stormed out of the yard cursing and swearing, heading quickly towards the food factory...
