Aunt Liu held Yu Yao's hand and said earnestly, "Yu Yao, I know you trust me, but I can't let you down. I'm old and can't learn as well as you young people. Wouldn't being the vice class monitor just be a burden to you?"
“Auntie, don’t underestimate yourself. Although you are older, your learning ability is no less than that of young people, as I saw from the last assessment. Moreover, you are more experienced than all the employees in the new production workshop in terms of work and management. You should believe in yourself.”
Aunt Liu still hesitated: "Yu Yao, do you really think I can do it and won't make things worse for you?"
Yu Yao squeezed Aunt Liu's hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, you really can do it. You are absolutely capable of being the deputy team leader. With you as the deputy team leader, I can confidently entrust the daily management of the workshop to you and concentrate on the Canton Fair. Auntie, please come to our workshop."
Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I agree. I'll write the transfer application when I get back to the workshop."
Yu Yao trusts her so much, she must do her job well and not let Yu Yao down.
With Aunt Liu's help, Yu Yao finally felt relieved.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhiwei was still trying to cause trouble for Yu Yao in order to persuade her to promote Zhao Meili to vice class monitor.
After all, in the entire new production workshop, Zhao Meili is the most likely candidate to become the deputy shift leader, based on her seniority and ability.
As April arrives, the Spring Canton Fair is just around the corner, and Haixing Foods employees are all busy.
The workers in the new workshop are especially busy, as it's their first time participating and they have a lot to learn.
Factory Director Wang was still worried, so he specially called a meeting with the new factory's leaders and cadres.
During the meeting, Jiang Zhiwei intentionally or unintentionally asked Yu Yao, "Squad Leader Yu, how's the color sketchbook you were asked to prepare coming along?"
Factory Director Wang asked in confusion, "What catalog?"
Jiang Zhiwei said, "In order to let foreign merchants have a more intuitive understanding of our new factory's products, we brainstormed and came up with the idea of making a color brochure with text descriptions to promote our canned goods. After all, there have never been such formal brochures at the Canton Fair before, let alone color ones. It will definitely bring foreign merchants a different intuitive experience and let them feel our sincerity and professionalism."
"How's the brochure coming along? Do you have a sample so we can see how it looks?"
Jiang Zhi smiled and looked at Yu Yao: "You'll have to ask Squad Leader Yu about that. This matter is entrusted to her. Judging from her expression, she hasn't forgotten, has she?"
All eyes turned to Yu Yao.
A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Zhiwei's eyes.
During this period, she saw it very clearly: Yu Yao was so busy every day that she had no time to find any artists.
The matter of making a photo album was only mentioned briefly at the time, and Yu Yao has probably long forgotten about it.
If you can't produce it, don't blame me for making things difficult for you.
Yu Yao smiled and said, "Although I've been a bit busy lately, I've kept the catalog in mind. I've already ordered the catalog, and two copies will be delivered today."
In those days, color photos were all colored manually, and later, she had to add product descriptions written by herself, which took a lot of time.
Time was tight, so I could only make two portions.
Just then, they heard Aunt Liu's voice from outside, "Squad Leader Yu, we've finished making the product brochure."
The leaders were very excited. "Quickly, bring in the brochures!"
Yu Yao left the meeting room, took two picture albums from Aunt Liu, and walked back in. "Factory Director, Party Secretary, and all leaders, these two are our color product introduction brochures. Please take a look!"
Factory Director Wang picked up one of the catalogs and opened it. The first page was the table of contents, which listed all the canned fruit from the fruit canning workshop and all the canned goods under the Coconut Grove brand.
Turning to the first page, you are greeted by a clean and hygienic production process, with each step clearly visible.
The first product was Coconut Grove brand canned beef.
The photos are exceptionally well taken, in color, and incredibly lifelike; they even capture the texture of the beef and the steam rising from it.
In a time when cameras weren't as advanced as they are now, Yu Yao's food photos taken by short video photography bloggers are simply a game-changer.
The composition is exquisite, and the colors, aromas, and flavors are all appealing, greatly stimulating people's appetite and desire to buy.
Then look at the copy below; it's written in such a tempting way that it makes your mouth water. After seeing the photos and then this picture, your desire to buy it is 100%.
"Good, very good." Director Wang was increasingly satisfied with the brochure, and even showed it to the Party Secretary next to him: "Secretary, you should take a look too."
Another copy was also circulated among the leaders and cadres.
When it was Jiang Zhiwei's turn, a strong sense of crisis rose in her heart.
The picture books Yu Yao made far exceeded her expectations. Even though she disliked Yu Yao, she had to admit that the picture books were very well made.
Having an overly capable subordinate, especially one with whom you don't get along, is definitely not a good thing.
Jiang Zhiwei clenched her fists, which were hanging on her knees.
All the leading cadres praised the album after viewing it.
"The new factory's method is great. We used to use lead type printing, which not only made our hands dirty, but also made the pictures unclear. If we can make a color brochure, it will feel completely different."
"The secretary is right. This approach is more intuitive and professional, which is exactly the standardization and professionalism that foreign businesses want."
"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such an exquisite catalog in all the years I've attended the Canton Fair. I'm sure foreign buyers will be amazed when they see it. If they're interested in the catalog, they'll definitely be willing to give us the opportunity to introduce our products."
"I'm confident that as long as they're willing to listen, they'll definitely buy. Squad Leader Yu, you did a great job. This export achievement deserves credit."
The more the leaders praised Yu Yao, the more uncomfortable Jiang Zhiwei felt.
She was clearly the director, but Yu Yao stole all the limelight. If this continued, her position would be in grave danger.
"Director Wang, the brochure looks so good, all thanks to Squad Leader Yu's hard work. Look, her eyes are bloodshot, she must be extremely busy lately. There are still two weeks until the Canton Fair, and there's still a lot to do. Squad Leader Yu alone definitely can't handle it all. I think we should find a deputy squad leader to help her."
Factory Director Jiang agreed: "The factory leaders have already discussed the matter of selecting a deputy shift leader. Considering the current situation in the new production workshop, it is indeed necessary to find a deputy shift leader to help Shift Leader Yu."
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Jiang Zhiwei's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness. "Factory Director, I think Comrade Zhao Meili in the new production workshop is quite good. She used to be a team leader at Yangcheng Food Factory, so she has management experience and knows all the machines on the new production line very well. With her help, Team Leader Yu will be able to have an easier time."
