Chapter 462 Like a Viper



At the meeting, various departments began to offer suggestions on how to distribute year-end benefits.

Xu Xiangyang was completely baffled. They didn't even have any ideas, so why hold a meeting?

He didn't offer any suggestions; he just sat there listening to what others were saying, since he didn't know what to say anyway.

After much discussion, the consensus was that we should give them some flawed clothes and a bunch of random stuff.

Xu Xiangyang remained silent throughout, but finally nodded, saying, "Give them whatever you want."

He already has enough to do every day, so he doesn't care about these things.

Moreover, the products are all similar, and compared to other factories, the benefits at their garment factory are not bad.

With these issues resolved, Xu Xiangyang began to keep an eye on the winter clothing orders.

We also have orders from other provinces, but the volume is small, and it's possible that we won't even make a profit from a single shipment.

However, Xu Xiangyang still agreed to the sales, since as long as they didn't lose money, they could accumulate customers.

Currently, we sell one or two hundred items per order, but in the future, it will be several hundred or even thousands of items.

Take it slow, that's how business is.

Things are a bit better now. As long as the quality is up to standard and the style is acceptable, there's no worry about sales.

It's uncertain what will happen in the future. In the next few years, connections might become popular again, and quality will take a backseat.

Xu Xiangyang was looking at the accounts in front of him when he heard someone knocking on the door.

"Please come in." He looked up and was taken aback when he saw the person who came in.

Lu Qingshu walked in with a somewhat embarrassed expression. It had been three or four months since the two last met.

She was in a pretty mess back then, and the old man took her to see Xu Xiangyang, wanting him to date her...

Later, when Xu Xiangyang disagreed, she felt even more ashamed.

Even though so much time has passed, she still feels very embarrassed.

"Director Xu." She greeted him as she entered, then stopped in front of his desk.

Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "Comrade Lu, please sit down. What brings you here?"

He hadn't had any contact with the Lu family during this time, so he was quite surprised by Lu Qingshu's arrival.

Lu Qingshu calmed down and said with a smile, "My job has been transferred. I'm coming to the garment factory to be the finance director."

She has a high level of education; she graduated from university with a major in finance.

Moreover, I had done these kinds of jobs before, so I was able to handle it.

She knew she was quite resistant when she came to work at the garment factory, but since they hadn't agreed to it anyway, she stopped worrying about it.

She was surprised to find herself quite embarrassed after meeting the person.

Xu Xiangyang was somewhat surprised, but he didn't ask any questions. He just smiled and looked at the person in front of him.

"Comrade Lu, welcome to work at the garment factory." He welcomed him warmly and generously, without making anyone feel awkward.

Lu Qingshu also relaxed a bit, saying, "I hope Director Xu will give me more guidance."

Now that we've given the heads-up, things will be much easier.

Xu Xiangyang didn't bother to think about why this person came to work. He could tell from Lu Qingshu's resume that it was a perfect match for her major, and she wasn't just here for fun.

He will never make things difficult for anyone who works diligently.

The garment factory's finances are actually not bad, it's just that the progress each month is a little slow.

We've mentioned this several times in previous meetings: we need to find another finance director.

However, there are too few of these talents; most of them are high school graduates, and there are not even any vocational school graduates.

If there were even a vocational school graduate who majored in this, their work efficiency wouldn't be this slow.

As November progressed, the weather grew increasingly cold.

Xu Xiangyang received a notification that he needed to attend a meeting.

This time, the provincial governor came to inspect. A lot has happened this year, and the new city has become famous.

However, it's not a good name.

The last time it made the newspaper was because of reselling books.

The leaders above were all reprimanded for this incident, because such things happening at this time cannot be ignored.

Although the perpetrator was eventually caught, the lost items could not be recovered.

Although the cultural relics belonged to my fourth uncle, there are still reasons for these things to be preserved.

Confiscating and selling are not the same thing.

Selling them overseas is treason!

Xu Xiangyang felt that when the higher-ups came down for a meeting this time, they would probably talk about these things again.

In the past two years, most of the cultural relics in the new city have been handed over to the authorities, and those that remain are not allowed to be bought or sold privately, which serves as a good warning.

This way, it won't be taken advantage of and sold to overseas people.

When I arrived at the municipal party committee, there were already quite a few people there, including leaders of all ranks.

The meeting was held in the lecture hall because there were too many people.

A row of tables stood on the stage, and the leaders were all seated there.

Xu Xiangyang was also sitting in the row of chairs below.

When Xiao Zhenyu saw him, he immediately sat down next to him and greeted him.

"Director Xu, you've been doing well lately," he said abruptly.

Xu Xiangyang sneered inwardly. If these words were heard by someone who felt guilty, they would definitely panic.

Despite having a secret he couldn't tell anyone, he remained calm.

"It's alright, Director Xiao seems to be doing well too," he replied with a forced smile.

The two greeted each other casually, their expressions remaining normal.

Xiao Zhenyu smiled and said, "I heard that the garment factory recently got some pigs from the pig farm? We went there several times and they agreed to give us half of them every month."

Xu Xiangyang didn't think much of it when he heard this. Although Director Yu had agreed, it was in exchange for benefits.

The fact that the pig farm would supply the grain bureau suggests a vested interest, given their existing dealings.

He didn't want to answer Xiao Zhenyu, but fortunately the leaders on the stage started speaking, and neither of them said anything more.

This time, the topic of cultural relics from last year was brought up, and it seems the governor was very unhappy.

After all, the new city was under their jurisdiction, and not only was it reported in the newspapers, but they were also contacted by phone.

Another issue is that the various factories in the new city are not doing well, but now it seems that they themselves are doing quite well.

But compared to mountain cities and coastal cities, it pales in comparison; it simply can't compare.

This is not an easy problem to solve, after all, their new city doesn't have a large population.

The meeting lasted for two hours. When it ended, everyone went to the municipal party committee's canteen for lunch.

There's not much to eat if we go back now, so we might as well eat here.

Xu Xiangyang saw several leaders being led into an inner room, guessing that there was going to be a dinner party.

Nobody can get into a dinner party of this caliber.

The main reason is that the nature of the work is different, so they are separated.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Zhenyu walking this way, so he quickly picked up his lunchbox and left.

This person always speaks with hidden meanings; it's so annoying.

Moreover, his smiling eyes looked strange, like he was staring at a venomous snake; I didn't want to talk to him.

Seeing that Xu Xiangyang was avoiding him, Xiao Zhenyu was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't chase after him. This was all he could do.

However, he thought to himself that Xu Xiangyang must be feeling guilty, otherwise why would he be hiding?

Are you suggesting we eat him?
