Jiang Xiaoli puffed out her small chest, "I am Jiang, and I am highly favored by the math competition teacher, who gifted me several books and made a promise to visit me in Kyoto!"
Seeing her proud little face, Zong Jia wanted to pinch her cheeks. He smiled indulgently, "Not bad, this teacher has good taste."
"That's right!" She excitedly recounted her conversation with Shang Run that day.
Zong Jia nodded from time to time and asked with concern, "Is the time tight for participating in two competitions?"
He simply didn't have time to participate in academic competitions because he was busy making money in various ways.
Jiang Xiaoli shook her head, "I originally thought it would take a lot of time, but after studying for a while I felt it was okay. The main thing is that I can read the college entrance exam content relatively quickly, which saves a lot of time."
"That's good. If you're short on time, just focus on your studies. I'll keep an eye on the company and factory for you, so you can rest assured," Zong Jia said to Xu Nuo.
Dafu brought in two plates of food. "Brother Zong, if you ask me, you should also take some time to study. You're going to take the college entrance exam too."
Li Guizhi nodded in agreement. "Yes, you and Xiaoli just need to keep an eye on the general direction of the factory. Don't neglect your studies."
Zong Jia took the soup bowl from her hand and said, "Don't worry, godmother, the factory is just a bit busy lately, but it will be fine once it gets back on track."
After the group finished eating, Zong Jia went to wash the dishes, while Da Fu sat next to Jiang Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, five of the aunties who make spicy snacks over there are willing to work in the factory."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, how many people from our family are going to work at the factory?"
Li Guizhi peeled an orange. "There are four of them in our family. None of them have ever worked in a factory before. Shouldn't they receive some training?"
"It's alright. The employee handbook only has a few pages. Let them start working on November 1st and learn from the workshop foreman."
Dafu scratched his head. "Auntie, this is my first time working in a factory. I feel great. Actually, as long as you work hard, these rules and regulations don't really matter."
Li Guizhi nodded with a smile, "That's right, the most important thing is to work diligently and conscientiously."
Dafu suddenly remembered something, "Little Pear, during my training today, I overheard some people from the workshop discussing wanting to switch to sales."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled nonchalantly, "That's normal. It's hard for anyone not to be tempted by high commissions."
Zong Jia came in after washing the dishes. "The staff will definitely need to be adjusted later, no rush."
"Yes, some people will definitely want to switch to sales, and some salespeople will want to go back to the factory. We'll adjust gradually."
Dafu felt relieved when he heard that they both said so. "I feel like I'm an undercover agent among the masses right now."
"Haha," Li Guizhi laughed, "So I'll have to be more careful when I go to work in the future."
Zong Jia wiped her hands. "Godmother, once you go to the factory, it's like coming home. What's there to be careful about?"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Haha, my mom calls that going on a secret visit!"
"Forget about visiting or not, I'm just watching over our money!" Li Guizhi said with a smile, tapping her forehead.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiaoli went inside and brought out a piece of paper, handing it to Zong Jiayu. "This is the recipe for the spicy strip seasoning ratio."
Zong Jia accepted it solemnly, saying, "Don't worry, I'll keep it safe."
She smiled and waved her hand, "If it were still a small workshop, I definitely wouldn't have given it to you, but now that we've opened a factory, I'm not afraid of small workshops competing with me."
Zong Jia understood what she meant, and he smiled and said, "Our current competitor is time. Once we've set up shop, seizing the market first is the most important thing."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, once we dominate the market, we won't be afraid even if someone makes a similar product."
As the two of them left, Li Guizhi couldn't help but sigh, "These two months have really felt like two years. How did we go from running a street stall to taking over a factory?"
Jiang Xiaoli took her arm and said, "Mom, just keep an eye on things, we'll get better and better in the future."
Right now, she's wondering if it'll be okay to ask Teacher Chen for leave again tomorrow.
She was curious to go and see what was happening on the factory's first day of trial production.
After hesitating for a moment, she held back. It wasn't an occasion she absolutely had to attend, so she decided to cherish her opportunity to take leave.
She took out a book that Shang Run had given her from her schoolbag, along with the accompanying competition questions, and quickly immersed herself in studying.
When Jiang Xiaoli returned home at noon the next day, she heard some good news.
Li Guizhi, beaming with joy, reported the good news to her: "Xiao Zong just called. The trial production was a success. He said that all the equipment is running at the same time, and we expect to produce a pack of spicy strips per day."
Jiang Xiaoli jumped up happily, "Yes!"
She didn't even bother to eat; she ran to the convenience store to call Zong Jiayu, asking, "Can all the equipment start producing bags?"
Zong Jiayu's tone was cheerful, "Yes, this is only calculated based on all workers working day shifts. If we rush to complete the work and add more shifts, it can be even more."
"Great! Have the workers gotten the hang of it? If so, let's start production in the workshop and stock up on some stock. Maybe this batch of sales will make our spicy strips a hit."
The image of her skateboarding down a mountain of hundred-yuan bills flashed through her mind.
Zong Jiayu smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll arrange it. How about the stock packs?"
"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."
The first batch of sales will be to several cities within the province. They are close by, so if orders surge quickly, we can rush to produce more.
She hummed a little tune happily as she went home, and Li Guizhi shook her head with a smile, "Are you that excited?"
"Hehe, of course I'm excited! I'll be able to fill sacks with money soon, how could I not be excited!" She raised her eyebrows smugly.
Li Guizhi chuckled, "Money in sacks? Is it really that exaggerated?"
She felt that she had handled hundreds of thousands of yuan in her bank account recently, and had seen a lot of money, but she didn't feel that it was as exaggerated as her daughter said.
But after starting work in the factory a few months later, she realized how naive she had been.
Jiang Xiaoli took a bite of food and said, "It's not an exaggeration at all!"
In her past life, she met a big shot who made his fortune in the food factory in the 1990s. He shared with her that when business was booming, it was common to carry money in sacks.
Her good mood lasted until school ended in the afternoon, when Sun Jiajia called her to go for a run on the playground.
"Oh right, right, coming right away."
Look how happy she is; she's completely forgotten that she had to practice relay races with the three of them after school these past two days.
After the four finished warming up, Yan Lin told Jiang Xiaoli a few tips to help her catch the baton quickly and steadily.
Yuan Man volunteered to time them, and at his command, Yan Lin dashed out...
Whether it was Yuan Man's timing error or all four of them having superhuman speed, one of them managed a lap time of 45 seconds.
