The problems on the black market still need to be solved. Xu Xiangyang believes that the most important thing now is to figure out exactly what happened.
These people don't appear out of nowhere; they must have been sent by someone.
But whether he's heard anything or not, there are some things you really can't know immediately.
The two talked for a long time because Xu Xiangyang hadn't been here for over a month, so they needed to know more about each other.
Another thing is that there are many things to do during this period. We were originally planning to replenish our inventory, but now that this has happened, we don't need to anymore.
It seems we still need to understand the situation clearly, otherwise it would be too damaging to not sell any goods.
Xu Xiangyang returned home late at night, took a nap, and went to the front yard the next morning.
With less than two months until the Chinese New Year, he hasn't been home for a month.
I came back this time to see everyone; I miss home since I don't come back often.
There was no phone at home, and unless it was something important, they would almost never go to the neighborhood to call him.
Because they know that if they don't come back, it's because they're busy with work.
The family was very happy to see Xu Xiangyang return.
But more than anything, I felt melancholy.
The fact that your child is rarely home shows how busy you are with work. After not seeing them for so long, I miss them terribly.
"Xiangyang, is the factory still busy?" Wang Zhongshan asked.
He knew he didn't have time and the children wouldn't be coming back, but there was nothing he could do; work doesn't allow for frequent trips home.
That's how it is when you're working for the government; that's how everyone does it.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and said, "I'm quite busy. I have to go to work after I finish eating. I'll be done in a few days."
It's the end of the year now, so it's normal to be busy.
After this period, there was almost nothing to do in the first half of the year.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiumin sighed and said, "You're lucky you still have two kids, otherwise all of us old folks would be stuck at home to death."
While that may be a bit of an exaggeration, having children does make a difference compared to not having them.
That being said, the past two years have been incredibly busy since we had a child.
One child is already a lot of work, let alone two children.
"Big brother!" Xu Xianghua's face was covered in snot, and he walked unsteadily like a three-year-old.
It's so chubby that it looks like it might trip over at any moment when it runs.
Xu Xiangyang picked up his little brother and said with a smile, "Is Gousheng a good boy? Has he been obedient?"
Hehe, it feels good to be called by your nickname, right?
He smiled maliciously, thinking the child was too young to understand anything.
Xu Xianghua, as expected, didn't understand and immediately nodded, "Good boy! Listen to me!"
He knew that the person in front of him was his older brother. His mother often praised his older brother and bought him delicious food!
Xu Xiangguo, standing to the side, looked at Xu Xiangyang hesitantly, but did not step forward to speak.
She hid behind Wang Xiumin, looking shy.
“That’s your eldest brother. Go over there and let him give you a hug.” Wang Xiumin gestured for her youngest son to go over.
As a result, the child refused to go and just clung to Xu Xiangyang's leg, staring at him intently.
"This child!" Wang Xiumin sighed and rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Aren't all little kids like this?" Xu Xiangyang said, holding the child. "They'll grow out of it!"
It's normal for children to be shy around strangers; those as outgoing as Xu Xiangguo are rare, and he's not afraid of strangers at all.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiumin pouted and said to Xu Xianghua, "Gouwa, your older brother has bought you so many delicious things for nothing, and you're not even close to him."
Xu Xianghua remained silent and refused to go over.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. It was a truly happy time to be together as a family, and time flew by.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xiangyang drove back to work. Once he was done, he was on holiday.
Back at the factory, before even entering the office, I saw Lu Qingshu.
It looks like this person is waiting for him, otherwise who would be standing at the door?
"Director Lu, is there anything I can help you with?" He walked over and greeted him, then took out his key and opened the door.
The stove in the house was already lit. Every morning, Cai Mingang would come over early to light the stove, then tamp it down, clean up the house, and lock it.
Lu Qingshu smiled and said, "It's something, a financial issue at our factory."
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Let's go inside and talk."
The two entered the house one after the other. The house was much warmer inside, and the stove was burning brightly.
Lu Qingshu handed over the ledger and said, "Our factory is experiencing serious fabric wastage. We have more orders this year than last year, but the wastage shouldn't be this high."
Generally speaking, wear and tear is normal, after all, the cut of each garment is different, and the length varies from foot to foot.
Xu Xiangyang took a look and realized it was indeed quite large. Compared to last year, the number of orders had increased, and it wasn't something they couldn't afford to wait for.
But these are all public property; wasting them is shameful, and it's a waste of money.
"Have you spoken with the workshop director?" he asked, looking up at the workshop.
The most obvious problems are in the workshop, where the issues are most significant.
Lu Qingshu nodded and replied, "I asked them, but Director Chen and the others didn't seem to think there was much waste on a regular basis. However, when it comes to the end of the month when they do the accounting, the amount of waste increases."
Xu Xiangyang pondered for a moment, then said, "You go back first, I'll go ask again."
This is no small matter. According to Lu Qingshu's accounting records, the garment factory lost nearly 2,500 yuan in fabric wastage over the course of a year.
These days, two thousand yuan is no small amount. How much do you earn in a year?
Besides, normal wear and tear is fine, but I'm afraid someone might do it on purpose.
He found Guan Qilin and explained the situation, since he was in charge of all the problems in the factory workshop.
It's necessary to make things clear; perhaps the other person will find out anyway.
When Guan Qilin heard about this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked through the accounts and found that the losses were indeed much greater.
"That shouldn't be the case. I go to the workshop every day, and the fabric loss is always within the normal range." He looked at the person in front of him with some doubt, really unable to figure it out.
But Xu Xiangyang knew there was something fishy going on.
It is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to touch public property; this cannot be tolerated.
"Shall we go and take a look at the workshop?" Guan Qilin asked.
It seems there must be a problem, otherwise how could he not have noticed it if he checked every day?
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "Don't talk about this yet, just keep it to ourselves. When we get to the workshop, it'll be a normal inspection. Don't mention anything else."
If there really is a problem, asking first will only alert the enemy.
Moreover, the factory doesn't have many orders now; most of the stock has already been delivered by the end of the year.
The workshop mainly does small jobs like making garment linings, so it's normal that you can't tell.
Upon hearing this, Guan Qilin nodded to indicate that he understood, and then the two of them went to the workshop.
As the Lunar New Year approaches, everyone's work attitude changes; they're all looking forward to the holiday.
Inside the workshop, besides the sound of sewing machines, people were chatting.
Upon seeing Xu Xiangyang arrive, everyone shut up and began working.
It's common for leaders to come and inspect, but it won't do if people see that you're not taking your work seriously.
If the boss isn't here, then we can chat freely.
