Some people didn't understand, so they kept asking the team leader, "What do the procurement department's indicators mean?"
It sounds like it's related to their brigade? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Before the brigade leader could speak, Secretary Hu, who was in the office, leaned out and eagerly replied, "This has a lot to do with us! Do you know the bamboo baskets from Jinhua Commune next door? Their commune makes a living selling these bamboo baskets at the county department store, earning more than a thousand yuan more than our brigade every year!"
"Comrade Xu has become the purchasing agent for the county department store. If the county department store needs to purchase agricultural and sideline products, and our commune and Tuanjie Brigade have them, they will naturally buy from us first! Do you understand that this will generate revenue for our commune and brigade? When it comes time to calculate work points at the end of the year, a work point used to be worth one cent, but with this revenue, it might be worth one and a half or even two cents!"
...
Secretary He hadn't finished speaking, but everyone understood one thing: Xu Ningyan's job was to seek benefits and generate revenue for the brigade and commune!
Everyone in Jinhua Commune knew that bamboo baskets could be sold at the county department store, and who wouldn't envy them?
The production brigades under Jinhua Commune earned much more work points through this skill than their own production brigades.
Now that they heard that their own brigade also had such an opportunity, everyone's eyes lit up.
They surrounded the captain, bombarding him with questions.
"Captain, is this true?"
"Captain, does this mean our brigade will have money from now on?"
"That girl, Si Ya, is really something! She managed to get such a great job without making a sound!"
"I always knew Siya was capable of great things. Whether our brigade can get more money at the end of the year depends on her!"
"That's right! I never thought our Unity Brigade would have such a good day!"
There were also dissenting voices.
"Now you know Siya is good? Why didn't you stand up for her when she was being scolded by Xu's daughter-in-law?"
"We've offended everyone, and we still expect her to help our team in the future?"
...
These words made everyone's hearts jump.
They all looked at the captain.
"Captain, you can't blame us for this! We just didn't know!"
"That's right, and besides, the captain's fault is yours! Since you knew about it, you should have protected Siya! How could you let the Xu family speak ill of her?"
"Even if a tractor is very important, it still costs money! What's the use of having a quota if you don't have money?"
"We might as well rely on Siya! If she leads us to make money, surely she can get herself a tractor?"
Everyone had high hopes, pushing all the responsibility onto the brigade leader and the party secretary.
The brigade leader's face was grim. He felt that his good intentions had been met with ingratitude. Who were they doing all this for? Wasn't it all for the sake of the entire Unity Brigade? And now it had become their fault?
I was also worried and afraid. Had I really offended Siya?
Upon hearing these words, Secretary He in the office blinked twice, remained silent, but her ears perked up even more.
Before he came, Director Zhang had already given him a heads-up, telling him to make a good public announcement in front of everyone and see how the Unity Brigade would react.
Although he didn't quite understand at the time, after hearing it once, he understood what Director Zhang meant.
Pretending to ask a few questions casually, the Party Secretary also wanted to use Secretary He's words to express to the commune that it wasn't that they were inactive, but that the Xu family had too strong a backing, and they were caught in the middle and in a difficult position.
He vaguely mentioned a few words about the Lu family to Secretary He.
Secretary He was also taken aback, never expecting that this small Unity Brigade would be full of hidden talents!
One of them had connections with the purchasing department of the county department store, and the other was actually dating the son of the deputy director of the machinery factory.
They're all incredibly talented!
Although he somewhat understood the predicament of the brigade leader and the party secretary, he didn't say a word, only laughing it off.
After instructing the Party Secretary to prepare all the certificates, he had someone point out the way and went to Xu Ningyan's house alone to deliver the certificates.
The brigade leader and the party secretary knew that Secretary He had something to say to Xu Ningyan in private, so they didn't go with him and just let his grandson Tiezhu lead the way.
Secretary He arrived at the courtyard outside Xu Ningyan's house and knocked on the door.
Gu Zhiyuan opened the door and saw Secretary He. He didn't say much, but simply stepped back to let her in.
Secretary He also knew that this was Xu Ningyan's fiancé, a member of the "Five Black Categories".
As Director Zhang's confidant, he naturally knew a bit about Gu Zhiyuan's background.
His attitude was quite natural; he didn't avoid her like the plague and simply nodded.
Upon entering the courtyard, Xu Ningyan came to greet him.
After pouring tea, Gu Zhiyuan went into his room, but the door remained open.
Secretary He then handed the certificate to Xu Ningyan, gave her some instructions on potential problems during the reporting process, and shared some tips on making a good first impression.
These are things that Secretary He wouldn't tell just anyone, except close friends and family; they were all experiences that he figured out on his own.
Xu Ningyan was somewhat surprised, but she also guessed why Secretary He was being so friendly.
Before Secretary He could speak, he took the initiative to say, "Please rest assured, leaders of the commune and Director Zhang, I am from the Tuanjie Brigade of Hongxing Commune. My roots and my home are here, so naturally my heart is with the commune and the brigade! I hope our commune and brigade will get better and better, right?"
Everyone here is a smart person, and with these words, Secretary He was relieved.
He gave Xu Ningyan a few more instructions, telling her to go to the county town early the next day, before taking his leave.
After Secretary He left, Gu Zhiyuan came out and saw Xu Ningyan looking at the certificate over and over again. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine. I'll take you to the commune to catch the bus tomorrow morning. If anything happens, just go to the usual place to find Sun Zhou. I'll give him a call and ask him to look after you over there!"
Xu Ningyan didn't stand on ceremony, "That would be perfect! We can ask Comrade Sun to buy some good things that we can't get in the commune and bring them back."
Gu Zhiyuan was naturally satisfied to see that Xu Ningyan didn't stand on ceremony with him.
Unfortunately, there was too much time, and he didn't have time to personally prepare clothes or anything like that for Xu Ningyan.
Xu Ningyan was worried about Gu Zhiyuan: "I'm not home, and you have to go to work in the fields by yourself and then come back to cook. Can you manage? If not, I can go to Aunt Xie, give her some money and food, and have her cook for you."
Gu Zhiyuan shook his head. Before Xu Ningyan lived with him, he cooked for himself. Although the food was not very good, he did not starve.
I'm not that delicate, there's really no need for that, lest people gossip again.
Now that we're in the spotlight and everyone's paying attention, it's best to keep a low profile.
Xu Ningyan didn't insist; whatever the big shot said went, and the main principle was to respect other people's opinions!
Gu Zhiyuan went back into the house and rummaged through the money in his hand. The young girl was going to the county town for work, so he couldn't let her be poor.
Make sure you bring enough tickets and money; you can't miss out on anything you want to buy.
