Chapter 353 A job for Xinnan

Shen Junyi waited for a full ten hours.

Bai Wei had been working in the baking workshop. The baking temperature had to be maintained between 38 and 42 degrees Celsius. The high temperature alone made Bai Wei sweat all over. By the time the time was up, all her clothes were soaked.

"Director Shen, it's done."

Bai Wei pushed the fireworks cart out of the workshop. Shen Junyi was waiting outside. It was already dark.

Zhu Wanjun's group dispersed early because they had waited too long.

By this time, the workers in the tobacco factory had all gone off work, and the entire factory was quiet. Only Xiao Meng, Ke Yuanbao and Shen Junyi were guarding the workshop door together.

"Let me see the quality!"

Hearing that Bai Wei had finally finished the baking work, Shen Junyi almost ran all the way over.

Looking at the roasted tobacco leaves in front of him, Shen Junyi's face was filled with joy.

"This batch is root tobacco, so the roasting time will be shorter."

Bai Wei explained, and Shen Junyi kept nodding his head, looking at the roasted tobacco leaves in front of him, and spoke with a little excitement.

"This batch of tobacco leaves are all light yellow and have a light fragrance. Good, good! Comrade Bai Wei, your baking technique is really good. Even the baking time is much shorter!! Normally, we would need at least fifteen to eighteen hours, and this is just for the root tobacco leaves."

There was already a light in Shen Junyi's eyes. The quality of this batch of tobacco leaves after baking was extremely good, a level that had never been achieved in the factory before.

"Director Shen, look at this equipment, are you satisfied?"

Bai Wei asked Shen Junyi while wiping the sweat off his face.

Shen Junyi raised his head and looked at Bai Wei seriously and said.

"Comrade Bai Wei, let's go to the office and talk!"

Looking at Shen Junyi's excited expression, Bai Wei knew that the next important negotiation stage would come.

Bai Wei took Xiao Meng, Xin Nan and others to the factory director's office. But when they were about to go in, Shen Junyi spoke up and asked others to wait outside.

"Comrade Bai Wei, it would be better if we talk alone."

Shen Junyi was a little cautious, and Bai Wei understood what he meant. She nodded, and asked Xin Nan and others to wait outside the office.

Ke Yuanbao was obviously a little dissatisfied and muttered something.

"Sister Bai Wei, I'm with you. This guy is very calculating. Who knows if he will cheat you!"

Thinking that Shen Junyi's appearance had caused Xun Lifeng to lose face, Ke Yuanbao had no good feelings towards Xun Lifeng at all.

Seeing Ke Yuanbao's attitude, Bai Wei just smiled lightly.

"Yuanbao, it's okay, just wait for me outside."

Under Bai Wei's insistence, Ke Yuanbao could only stand guard at the door angrily.

Shen Junyi welcomed Bai Wei in. Bai Wei was sweating all over, and her clothes were sticking to her body, making her feel uncomfortable. Shen Junyi walked to the door and turned on the ceiling fan, and a cool breeze blew in.

Bai Wei looked up and realized that the factory director's office had really changed a lot.

When Xun Lifeng was in office, this office was shabby and old. Even the legs of the chairs for guests were bent, making them uncomfortable to sit on.

But now the house has been replaced with mahogany sofas, desks, office chairs and office cabinets, all of which are mahogany furniture and look very valuable.

Bai Wei couldn't help but sigh. It was true that a new official would make three big moves upon taking office. Shen Junyi did have some background. As soon as he took office, he even made the office look brand new.

"Comrade Bai Wei, are you interested in being a professional equipment repairman in our factory? We can negotiate the salary!"

Shen Junyi poured Bai Wei a cup of tea and asked with interest.

Bai Wei shook her head. The conditions offered by Shen Junyi were no different from what Xun Lifeng had discussed with her before.

"Director Shen, I don't plan to work in the tobacco factory. I want to sell the equipment to the tobacco factory all at once. I will also give you the future adjustment plan, but the price must be clearly stated. I also want to sell all the tobacco leaves I brought this time to the factory. These are my requirements."

Bai Wei made his needs very clear.

If it was Xun Lifeng, she wouldn't mind staying and helping the tobacco factory rebuild more complete baking equipment, but now it's Shen Junyi, and she has to go to Kyoto, so this matter cannot be discussed.

She can only do one-time sales.

"Comrade Bai Wei, you know... this private transaction is not legal..."

Shen Junyi said with some hesitation.

Bai Wei certainly knew that in this day and age, private transactions were speculation and profiteering, which was naturally illegal.

"Director Shen, given the current situation of the tobacco factory, if we want to reform, we need new blood. The debugging equipment I have this time is unique. You won't find it anywhere else."

Bai Wei's words were very decisive. If Shen Junyi was unwilling to cooperate, she would naturally not cooperate either.

Seeing Bai Wei's tough attitude, Shen Junyi felt a little embarrassed.

"But this..."

After all, he had just taken up the position at the tobacco factory. If this matter was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, his position would be in jeopardy.

"Director Shen, I understand your difficulties, but I have a solution. I can be a nominal equipment repairman in the factory, and you can pay me on time every month. Once I pay for the equipment, it's done. But you have to find a way to pay for the tobacco leaves."

Bai Wei only proposed a plan to Shen Junyi, and she also added a special sentence.

"Of course, I won't be working as an equipment adjuster in vain. I will stay in the factory for half a month to train two professional maintenance personnel. When I am needed in the future, I can come back to the factory at any time to help adjust the equipment. What do you think?"

This is also due to the limitations of the times. Otherwise, Bai Wei could have sold the equipment to the tobacco factory efficiently and it wouldn't have been so troublesome.

"Are you serious?"

When Shen Junyi heard that Bai Wei was willing to train two professional maintenance personnel, his eyes lit up.

This is great news for tobacco factories.

"Of course, but I will choose these two maintenance workers."

Bai Wei thought of Xin Nan in his heart. If he could arrange a job for Xin Nan in the tobacco factory, his future life would be more stable.

"Okay! I'll pick a few workers from the factory for you..."

Before Shen Junyi finished speaking, Bai Wei walked to the window and pointed at Xin Nan at the door and Gangzi beside him.

"Director Shen, these two are very efficient and have always been with me. They have also been with me during the baking work this time. They are considered half of my apprentices. I want them to work in the tobacco factory. Do you think it's okay?"

Bai Wei's intention was clearly to help Xin Nan.

Shen Junyi looked at Xinnan and Gangzi at the door. He had an impression of this young man when he was moving tobacco leaves before. He was down-to-earth, capable and quiet.

However... after all, they are not regular employees of the tobacco factory, so it might be a bit troublesome to handle this matter...
