Factory Director Yi smiled with relief, raised the meal tickets in his hand and said, "Let's all have lunch together, but let's make it clear that today's meal is on me, but tomorrow's meal will be on you."
Yan Xiaonan understood what Director Yi meant. Today was the first meal to welcome him, and tomorrow would be the last meal to send him off. It was a good omen to have a beginning and an end: "Okay, okay, Director Yi, it's settled then."
Yan Xiaonan walked up to Southwest and solemnly handed the furniture factory's official seal to him: "Second Brother, starting tomorrow, you will be the factory manager of this furniture factory, and you will be in charge of everything."
Southwest's tears fell involuntarily. She wanted to wipe them away with her hands, but then she remembered what Nan Nan had said about wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. She quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
"Nan Nan, I will definitely manage the furniture factory well, you can trust me."
Yan Xinan, who had just received the official seal, was unsure where to put it. Director Yi took out a set of keys and handed them to him: "These are the keys to all the offices except for the factory party secretary's office. You'll be sitting in this seat from now on."
He then took out a key from his pocket and handed it to Yan Xiaonan: "This is the key to the factory committee office next door. Here you go."
As soon as Yan Xiaonan took the key, Xinan took it from her: "Nannan, I'll go and make an extra one later, just in case it gets lost and we don't have to break down the door."
Yan Xiaonan smiled. His second brother had always been meticulous and conscientious since he was a child. He could trust him with the factory. Besides, the factory was originally set up for him. However, now that Chen'er had shares, the finances were handled by Sheng Lijuan.
Yan Xiaonan handed the furniture factory's contract, some important financial documents, and vouchers to Sheng Lijuan: "Aunt Sheng, please take care of this."
Sheng Lijuan happily packed her things into her handbag. When Director Yi saw this, he immediately ordered several people to clean up the former office of Section Chief Fan. From now on, that place would be Sheng Lijuan's office.
Sheng Lijuan quickly followed, knowing that her office had to have its own style and she had to keep an eye on things from the sidelines.
Yan Aidang called over the three demobilized soldiers from yesterday, pointed to Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er and said, "Brothers, this is Director Yan, Director Ye, this is Factory Director Yan, and the one who just left is Section Chief Sheng. From now on, you will be under Factory Director Yan's management."
Yan Xinan felt a little flustered. He was fine with doing the work, but he had no experience in managing people. His eyes drifted to Yan Xiaonan, who nodded encouragingly. Seeing Xiaonan's clear eyes, Xinan straightened his back and his heart became firm.
Thinking back to my old workplace, there was no security department, but there was a patrol team. The patrol team worked in three shifts, so I figured I could set up a security department that also worked in three shifts. Also, the previous head of the security department had problems, which was clearly stated in the documents. That meant I would have to select a new head of the security department.
"Uncle, oh wait, did Major General Yan only leave a few of you behind?" Southwest asked.
The three men looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward: "Reporting to Director Yan, the Major General has left behind twelve demobilized soldiers, all of whom are veterans with injuries who can no longer go to the battlefield."
"Are you the leader of these people?"
"My name is Xu Da, and I used to be a company commander." Xu Da stood ramrod straight, but Yan Xiaonan noticed that his shoulders were slightly crooked.
"Among you twelve, who holds a higher rank than Company Commander Xu?"
The other two shook their heads: "Reporting to Director Yan, Xu Da's rank is the highest among us."
Southwest understood. These people were originally going to return to their hometowns after being demobilized and receiving a demobilization allowance, but the uncle took pity on them, so he entrusted the matter to Yan Xiaonan: "Comrade Xu Da, please inform the other nine brothers to come and report as soon as possible. I appoint you as the head of the security department for the time being. The factory needs 24-hour patrols, and you can allocate personnel as you see fit."
Xu Da stood at attention and saluted: "I guarantee the mission will be completed."
After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Director Yan, what should be done with the original security personnel of the factory?"
"Let Director Yan tell you after the meeting this afternoon," Yan Xiaonan quickly replied, worried that Yan Xinan might not understand what the meeting meant.
Southwest suddenly realized, "No wonder the Party called it a big clean-up. How could I have been so stupid?" After understanding this, Southwest started thinking about what to do next.
"Director Yi, please have the workshop foreman immediately separate the temporary workers from the permanent workers. After the meeting this afternoon, I want to see what they are doing and whether they are suitable for this job."
"Nan Nan, please give me some sample designs as soon as possible. I want to see if the old furniture in the warehouse can be replaced."
Southwest issued several orders in one go, without the slightest fear or hesitation. On the contrary, his voice was resolute and spirited.
Factory Director Yi laughed heartily, thinking that at this rate, he could be heading to his new post right after lunch tomorrow.
Yan Xiaonan suddenly leaned closer: "Director Yi, can you tell me where I can find you in the future?"
Yi Genjin generously took out a pen and wrote down the name of the Seventh Garment Factory in his notebook, including the address and phone number. It turned out that the factory director's surname was Yi and his given name was Jianping.
Yan Xiaonan's heart began to stir again. A clothing factory! In her previous life, she had so many clothes in her wardrobe that she didn't even have time to wear them all. The styles were simply dazzling. She would find Ye Chenming and see if she could partner with Ye Huixian to take over the clothing factory. As for the factory manager, she would let Aunt Ye be the one.
Looking at Yan Xiaonan's expressive face, Ye Chen'er knew what this little girl was up to again. Could it be related to the clothing factory? If so, then... Ye Chen'er's heart was also stirred.
Southwest checked his watch; there was still an hour before lunch. He greeted Yan Xiaonan and the others, then went to the factory. When the workers saw Yan Southwest coming, they all carefully stopped what they were doing.
This person came with that group of people, so he should be one of the contractors. I can't show my weakness in front of him, or I'll lose my job.
Yan Xinan looked around and found that all the workers had received the message. The permanent and temporary workers were divided into two camps. He roughly estimated that the number of permanent and temporary workers was almost equal.
Southwest was delighted. How could Nannan possibly support so many people all at once? After all, the factory wasn't profitable. Material costs could be paid on credit, but workers' wages couldn't be.
We can remove half the people here, some from the canteen, and some more after the afternoon meeting. That leaves us with less than 70 or 80 people, which is enough for a newly established contracting company.
I wonder if any of the people in the offices are temporary workers. Generally, those who can sit in the office are all permanent employees.
