Factory Director Wang handed the form back, saying, "Hurry up with them; the results will be announced this afternoon. Get the statistics done as soon as possible."
"Yes, factory manager."
Accountant Liu immediately called He Chunyun, the purchasing manager of Hongqi Department Store, and breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that the person delivering the return receipt was already on his way.
Unfortunately, according to the competition rules, the statistics are based on actual sales volume, not purchase volume. There is a difference between the two, and only invoices stamped with the official seal of Hongqi Department Store are valid.
The staff auditorium was bustling with activity from noon onwards, as people were busy setting up the venue.
With the results about to be announced, the person who delivered the receipts hadn't returned yet. Accountant Liu was extremely anxious and could only make a summary first, adding it as soon as the statistics sheet arrived.
Fortunately, the receipt arrived in time. After Liu, the accountant, re-summarized the information, he placed it on the table. "Xiao Li, I'm going to the restroom. The summary sheet is on the table. When the factory manager's secretary comes over, please give it to him for me."

Factory Director Wang said with a smile, "I'd like to know too. Now, I'll announce the results of the canned food R&D competition."
Factory Director Wang picked up the document on the podium, which listed the top three canned goods by sales volume. He started reading from the fifth place, whetting the audience's appetite before announcing the top three.
After reading out the sales figures for third place, Factory Manager Wang jumped straight to first place, which was somewhat unexpected.
It wasn't Yu Yao?!
She was only one vote behind the first place winner.
Factory Director Wang immediately realized something was wrong. Wasn't this the sales data he had seen before, which didn't include the sales figures from Hongqi Department Store?
The people below whispered among themselves.
"Why isn't the factory manager reading anymore?"
"Who is the number one? Could it be that it's not that Yu Yao?"
