Chapter 96 Happy New Year to Everyone
After visiting poor households for two consecutive days, Tian Xin summarized two important issues that urgently need to be resolved.
One was to increase the production of dried persimmons and Sichuan peppercorns, improve sales, and ensure that every household had a good New Year. The other was the wages of the factory workers.
The bonus is especially urgent, as some families are desperate for food. If the bonus isn't paid, the problems of the coming spring won't be solved.
When the village committee finished its work and went on vacation, she went to look for Li Baiwan.
At this time, the factory had already made personnel adjustments, and several new members had been added to the leadership team. When Tian Xin arrived, a group of people were planning to go out for dinner.
"Xiao Tian, you've come just in time. It's the end of the year, let's get together and go out for dinner!" Tian Xin had just arrived at the office when Li Baiwan and his men were about to leave. Seeing her coming, he pulled her along.
Seeing that the person was about to leave, Tian Xin quickly said: "Director, I came to talk to you about something!"
"What's the matter?" Li Baiwan smiled and pulled her arm: "No matter how big the matter is, you can't skip a meal. Let's go and talk!"
"Uh... I won't eat. I have something to do at the village committee, so I have to go back! Just two sentences. If it's convenient, I'll finish them in a few seconds before you leave."
"It's okay, just talk..." Li Baiwan responded casually, but suddenly noticed that Tian Xin's face was not right, so he changed the subject: "What's wrong?"
The people who walked out of the door saw that the two men had not come out for a long time, so they all waited outside. A middle-aged man walked in and knocked on the door.
Before Tian Xin started speaking, she was interrupted by a knock on the door. She looked up at the person who came and shut up.
"Director... Xiaotian, why aren't you leaving?" The man who came was Liu Shengli, the head of the supply and marketing department, responsible for purchasing and selling materials. In his forties, he was warm and thoughtful, and everyone in the factory respected him.
"Oh, Chief Liu, I need to say a few words to the factory director. You guys go first." Tian Xin responded with a smile.
"Oh, that's how it is! I was thinking of asking you to come over these two days. I have some apples at home, so I got a box for you and said I was sending it to you. I didn't know which team your home is in! It's a good thing you're here today, so I'll take you home later! I'll also bring the apples with me!" Liu Shengli said with a smile.
"No, no, you're too polite. I..."
"Xiaotian, you are being too formal. Come on, let's go eat first. We can talk about it when we come back if anything happens!" Liu Shengli pulled Tian Xin out without waiting for her to finish her words.
This man was an elder, and Tian Xin couldn't lose her temper, so she could only let him drag her out the door.
When Li Baiwan saw that everyone had left, he also followed them to the yard.
Those waiting in the yard included Zhang Feng from the weighing room, Zheng Yali from the finance office, Wang Jianjun, the production section chief, and Li Junfeng, the laboratory director.
When several people saw Liu Shengli pulling Tian Xin out, they all smiled, nodded and greeted them.
Liu Shengli pulled Tian Xin directly into Zhang Feng's car. Perhaps because he was afraid that Tian Xin would feel embarrassed, he asked Zheng Yali to sit with Tian Xin in the back.
Li Baiwan drove his own car and took the remaining few people with him, and the two cars drove out of the village together.
The place to eat is a relatively famous restaurant in the county town.
The specialty of this restaurant is the famous local Eight Bowls. Tian Xin has eaten it several times when attending relatives' weddings and it suits her taste very well.
Except for Li Baiwan, all the others were from this county. I think they were specially arranged here so that Li Baiwan could taste the local specialties.
The group entered the restaurant's private room. Li Baiwan sat at the top table, and he was supposed to sit next to Li Baiwan. But he refused to sit down, constantly urging others to sit first. Wang Jianjun couldn't refuse, so he and Li Junfeng sat next to Li Baiwan, one on each side.
Tian Xin originally wanted to pull Zheng Yali to sit by the door so that she could greet everyone when the food was served. As the youngest person at the table, she was the only one who could pour tea and pass paper.
But before she could sit down, Liu Shengli came over and sat on his left, letting Zheng Yali sit next to Li Junfeng. Now the seat to her right was the only one left vacant, leaving Zhang Feng with no choice but to sit next to Tian Xin.
This is completely embarrassing.
Since Zhang Feng and his family visited her home, she has not been to the factory or seen Zhang Feng again. After he returned, he sent her a very long text message.
The general meaning was that he had never been so attentive to any woman, and Tian Xin's behavior made him very sad.
She almost fell off the bed laughing after seeing the message. She never expected that an unmarried man in his late twenties could be so corny.
Something like "There are three thousand things in this world, and I love three: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for me in the morning, the moon is for me in the evening, and you are with me every morning and every evening!" Even such words are used.
She had to admit that Zhang Feng was a man of some knowledge and not a complete rude person. This fact made her think of him a little differently.
After everyone was seated, Liu Shengli poured water for everyone and asked the waiter to serve the food.
The dishes were ordered in advance and packed. In addition to the eight bowls, there were also noodles, dumplings, and spicy hot pot cakes that people in the northwest love, as well as some hot and cold dishes.
After the dishes were served, Tian Xin quickly stood up and prepared to pour wine for everyone. Liu Shengli did not wait for her to take the bottle and forced her to sit down.
He first poured orange juice for the two ladies, then poured white wine for the others, and placed a stack of napkins next to each person.
"Come, Director, tell us a few words first!" Liu Shengli poured the wine and sat down, then said to everyone with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Baiwan straightened his body and pulled his suit down. His uncovered belly was so round that it looked like it could burst the buttons of his shirt.
He put his hands on his legs, looked around at everyone, and said: "Happy New Year, everyone has worked hard! This year, thanks to all of you here, the factory has been able to survive with difficulty. This is the first year. Next, we have to take bigger steps and increase production!" After saying this, he looked at Wang Jianjun beside him, and Wang Jianjun quickly nodded.
"Sales need to be revitalized!" Liu Shengli quickly stood up and nodded!
"The finance department, please keep our purse in good order! Increase revenue and reduce expenditure, you are the source." Zheng Yali nodded in agreement quickly.
"Ah! There's also a weighing room. You have to be careful when weighing! Zhang Feng, if you can take care of this for us, I'll introduce you to a wife next year!"
Li Baiwan said this with a chuckle, and Zhang Feng quickly stood up and nodded, then quickly glanced at Tian Xin and smiled at her!
Liu Shengli caught this scene and continued, "Director, you may not need to worry about this anymore! Hehehe!"
"Of course! Zhang Feng found a partner?" Li Baiwan immediately started gossiping!
Zhang Feng blushed and stammered, "I guess so... But the girl... hasn't agreed yet!"
"There's such a thing? Then you have to work harder! If it doesn't work, tell your uncle and he'll act as a matchmaker for you. Hehehe..."
Tian Xin felt that if she continued talking, she might die here today, so she quickly picked up the cup and said to everyone: "Happy New Year to everyone! All the best!"
