Zhao Xiangbei took the initiative to drink on behalf of Jiang Wanyue, making the others realize that they were actually forcing the factory director to drink, which was totally inappropriate.
They all apologized quickly.
Jiang Wanyue waved her hand and didn't care. It was okay to drink occasionally.
She was indeed feeling a little dizzy and was about to go upstairs to rest for a while. As soon as she took a step, she tripped over a chair and almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, he was supported by Zhao Xiangbei who was standing beside him.
Although she was a little drunk, her mind was still clear, and Zhao Xiangbei seemed to have some feelings for her.
In the past six months, every time she settled accounts, she would contact the female employee in the Finance Department, and sometimes she wouldn't say a word to Zhao Xiangbei for a whole month.
Suddenly she was supported, and she seemed to be scalded by boiling water and quickly moved away.
A bitter smile appeared on Zhao Xiangbei's lips.
The factory manager has been avoiding him for half a year. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel uncomfortable.
He knew what the factory director meant.
He lowered his head and said softly, "Director, I forgot to tell you something. I'm getting married next month. I hope you can take some time to attend the wedding."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "That's great! Congratulations! I will definitely go to the wedding next month!"
"Xiangbei, you really do great things quietly!" Lin Jin couldn't help but tease, "What kind of girl is it that allows you to keep a secret so well?"
Zhao Xiangbei smiled and said, "The person my aunt introduced to me works in the snakeskin bag factory of the commune. You probably don't know him."
A group of people nearby congratulated him.
Zhao Xiangbei was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. He looked at Jiang Wanyue and said, "Director, you've had too much to drink. Be careful when you walk up the stairs. I'll take you up."
The other party was about to get married, so Jiang Wanyue felt relieved and she nodded with a smile.
She walked in front and Zhao Xiangbei walked behind, and they walked to the second floor, one in front and one behind.
Jiang Wanyue walked into her lounge, waved at him, and closed the door.
Zhao Xiangbei stood at the door, pursing his lips tightly.
He didn't know how long he stood there until Lin Jin came upstairs and saw him. She was surprised and said, "Xiang Bei, what are you doing here? Do you have something to ask the factory manager? Let's talk about it tomorrow. The factory manager is drunk and must be asleep now. Don't disturb her."
Zhao Xiangbei said nothing and went up to the third floor.
When Jiang Wanyue woke up, it was already past nine o'clock the next morning. The shops on the first floor had already opened for business, but they did not wake her up.
She rubbed her temples, sat up, washed up and went downstairs.
The opening event has ended, so today’s customer flow is naturally not as large as the previous two days, but it’s still okay.
She stayed in the store for more than ten minutes and then went back with Wu Zhiqiang and Zhao Xiangbei.
As soon as she returned to the processing plant, Duan Jing came to her excitedly and said, "Director, we have developed the seasoning package. Please come and have a look."
Jiang Wanyue walked into the research workshop and as soon as she entered, she smelled a fragrant aroma.
There were three bowls of noodles on the table, which were delicious. She took a few bites of each with chopsticks. Her eyes widened and she gave a thumbs up: "Duan Jing, you are really amazing. I only told you once and you were able to figure it out. Choosing you as the director is really the wisest decision I have ever made!"
Duan Jing was very embarrassed: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
"The braised beef and mushroom chicken soup are the two flavors that are better, so we'll start with these two," Jiang Wanyue said. "The factory building at Jinqiu Commune has also been repaired. I'll have someone ship the machines over there tomorrow to start producing seasoning packets. Also, Duan Jing, you can do some more research on the existing noodles to see if you can improve their flavor, so that they're easier to soak or easier to absorb flavor..."
The current noodle cakes are the only type available on the market, and they are crispy noodles. If you want to make special instant noodles, the noodle cakes will definitely need to be improved.
The next morning, Jiang Wanyue went to the county to transport the two expensive machines to the factory of Jinqiu Commune.
This side has been repaired. Three rows of factory buildings stand in a semi-enclosed shape on the side of the road. They are three stories high and made of cement, and look very imposing.
Secretary Zhou of Jinqiu Commune said, holding an unlit cigarette, "Director Jiang, do you think we should hold an opening ceremony?"
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Many people don't know what instant noodles are, so they don't think highly of our factory. There's no need to hold an opening ceremony. I think we can hold a celebration party after our products are successfully launched on the market. How about that?"
"Director Jiang, this is a good idea." Secretary Zhou listened to her in everything. "This year's wheat harvest is already good, and the quality is very high. The first batch of 20 employees of the instant noodle factory have also arrived. So, shall we officially start production tomorrow?"
Jiang Wanyue nodded: "The seasoning package has been developed, and we can start production directly. The noodles will have to wait a few days. As for the vegetable package, we need to collect fresh vegetables and then use a machine to dehydrate them. We must pay attention to the quality of the vegetables. We must ensure that the quality is the same as that of the wheat. We can't use shoddy products. Our factory gathers the efforts of the entire county, and we can't fail in the details. And wheat, your Jinqiu Commune is blessed..."
Because the factory was handed over to Secretary Zhou for management, Jiang Wanyue patiently said a lot.
Secretary Zhou was followed by a secretary, who was taking notes with a pen.
After talking for half an hour, I finally finished talking about the main points.
The secretary wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Secretary Zhou then said, "Then should our instant noodle factory have a factory director?"
Jiang Wanyue said casually: "Secretary Zhou can decide on the positions of factory director and deputy factory director himself."
"Why don't we let Director Jiang take on the role concurrently?" Secretary Zhou said quickly. "The main management is still our Jinqiu Commune, and Director Jiang is just a figurehead. He only needs to give some guidance at critical times. It will definitely not take up too much of your time. Director Jiang, do you think this is okay?"
Jiang Wanyue pressed her temple.
Even if she doesn't become the factory manager, she still has to participate in management and operations.
It would be better to take over the position of factory manager and earn more than a hundred yuan in salary every month.
Seeing that the house was about to be opened, she didn't have much money, and she was thinking of going to a big city to buy a big yard after the house could be traded.
She thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Secretary Zhou was extremely happy.
After a few days, Duan Jing developed a way to make the dough. She thought that frying it in oil would make the dough more fragrant and easier to soften and absorb the flavor.
People in later generations may not like greasy things, but people nowadays like a lot of salt and oil, and the pancakes are indeed more popular after being fried.
Thus, the instant noodle factory officially started production.
At the same time, Jiang Wanyue developed two types of packaging, one is plastic packaging, similar to instant noodles, but with a larger portion.
There is another type, which is the boxed instant noodles that are common decades later. You don’t need a bowl. As long as you have hot water, you can eat a bowl of delicious instant noodles.
The last thing was pricing. When the shareholders met to discuss things, the topic of pricing came up.
