Qian Nana's salary is already extremely high for this type of factory. The managers below her should be paid between 500 and 1,000 yuan, but now the average is over 1,000 yuan.
Jiang Xiaoyan wasn't very familiar with the current labor market prices either. After looking through them, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go with this wage. Today is everyone's first day here, so let's introduce ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Qian Nana smiled at the seven people, as if to say, "I already told you, this place is easy to fool, they have plenty of money, so just stay here in peace."
These managers were all veterans of the small factory; some were in charge of recruiting workers, some were in charge of marketing, and Qian Nana, the young designer, worked with Jiang Xiaoyan to finalize the design drawings.
The cosmetics market was still packed with people, with large quantities of goods being shipped out every day. Zhao Yanran looked radiant today, walking towards the counter in high heels.
How was business this morning?
"Ten thousand yuan worth of goods were taken by Boss Wang and his group. Put it on the books!"
Zhao Yanran nodded and was about to go to the next counter when a woman from the opposite door walked over and said with a shifty look in her eyes, "Ms. Zhao, how did your talk with those two go?"
"Don't worry, those two idiots won't get away. The business is definitely yours. After it's done, you have to give me a share," Zhao Yanran said with a smile.
"Really? I could tell when they came to ask me about lipstick yesterday. They're complete novices. The woman knows a little about lipstick, but the man looks like an idiot." The woman covered her mouth and laughed, glancing around before saying, "So, what price do you want?"
"Don't ask for too much and scare her away. I'll tell her that your goods are good, as long as they're not too competitive in price, just two or three levels higher than the market price. Also, don't show your face, she knows you. Have your sister handle the negotiations."
"I know, I understand that much. Thank you very much, Mr. Zhao."
"Oh, we've been neighbors for so many years, Mr. Zhao, let's make a fortune together."
After exchanging a few polite words, the woman took out two gift boxes from under the counter and presented them to Zhao Yanran. After another round of polite refusals, Zhao Yanran finally accepted them.
Lu Feng woke up around noon and called Jiang Xiaoyan's factory office to ask what was wrong. She hadn't eaten yet, so he went out to buy groceries, cooked a meal, packed it in a lunchbox, and drove to the factory.
Inside the office, Jiang Xiaoyan was eating heartily, muttering about blueprints and the market.
Lu Feng found it amusing to see her so busy and flustered. He sat there, resting his chin on his hand, looking at her pretty face, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
"You didn't even offer me any advice. I had to go check on the raw materials this afternoon, and there were so many things for me to handle. All you can do is cook." Jiang Xiaoyan's cheeks puffed out as she chewed her food, looking incredibly cute.
"Isn't it good for me to be President Jiang's strong support?"
"I feel like there's so much to do today, I can't handle it all. I also don't have much professional knowledge, what if I lose money?" Jiang Xiaoyan was a little panicked.
Her mood is like a rollercoaster right now. One moment she thought she was going to be the richest woman in the future, and the next she felt like all her money was going to go down the drain.
Lu Feng smiled helplessly. Her worries were completely unnecessary. Losing money was a foregone conclusion, wasn't it?
"How could you lose money? You're a one-in-a-million business genius. Besides, no one is born knowing how to do things. If you lose money on this venture, just keep trying. You'll succeed eventually. Failure is the mother of success," Lu Feng encouraged.
Jiang Xiaoyan smiled somewhat embarrassedly, then continued eating in silence.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you." Lu Feng suddenly felt that cooking at home and being a housewife was quite interesting. At least he didn't have to distinguish so many lipstick colors, which hurt his eyes.
"Stir-fried shredded potatoes and shredded pork with soy sauce, mixed together and placed on top of rice, then a slice of braised pork, half fat and half lean, reddish-brown, a mouthful of rice, a mouthful of vegetables, then a big bite of fatty pork, oh my!!"
Jiang Xiaoyan herself was overjoyed. This kind of food was her dream. She had mentioned it to Lu Feng more than once. When she was hungry, her biggest dream was to eat such a meal.
"Okay, no problem!"
"I don't think I'm up to it. Will you come with me this afternoon?" Jiang Xiaoyan said to Lu Feng.
“I’m going home to cook. How can a woman say she can’t?” Lu Feng teased her deliberately. “You’re the one who has to support the family. If you can’t, who will I rely on?”
"You!!" Jiang Xiaoyan was so angry she laughed.
After finishing their meal, Jiang Xiaoyan held a brief meeting, and then went to check on the raw materials.
The table was covered with all sorts of documents, a mess. Workers came in batches, making the scene a bit noisy. Lu Feng picked up the pay slip on the table and glanced at it. He had originally thought that the two million would last him for more than a year, but now it seemed that he would probably only last until the end of the year.
After tidying up his lunchbox, Lu Feng was about to leave when Qian Nana turned back.
"What's wrong?"
“President Jiang didn’t take his bag,” Qian Nana said, picking up a bag.
“President Qian, you know the situation of this factory better than I do. That’s about right. I’ve seen that payslip; it’s too high. You can lower it yourselves, understand?” Lu Feng said in a deep voice.
"The wages aren't high, they're all market prices, Mr. Lu. You get what you pay for; they're all capable people."
"Really? With this kind of capability you're talking about, wouldn't the factory be able to make a profit right away?"
"Well... nobody knows what the market is like. Mr. Jiang is waiting for me. You should just cook a good meal and take good care of him." Qian Nana waved her hand, said goodbye, and left.
