Chapter 225: Feel free to ask for
anything Lü Wenhua treated it as a joke and really stamped it. He also wrote a sentence on the top of the document, which basically meant that only if the products made by Xiangyang Commune were popular, they would consider opening a workshop and providing procedures for affiliation. Otherwise, there would be no room for negotiation.
After all, no matter how bad the products of the non-staple food factory tasted, it was still a legitimate state-owned unit. If there was any problem with the products made by the workshop, it would be him, the surname Lu, who would be the one to suffer.
Shen Meng got what he wanted, so he was naturally not ambiguous about the price of the food. He directly reduced the price of each type by at least 40% from the original price. With such a large reduction, Lü Wenhua was very satisfied.
Of course, this cooperation does not require much food. Both parties are testing the waters, so it is impossible to spend money to buy so much food at once, otherwise someone in the factory will notice it.
Shen Meng had already found the place for the transaction, an abandoned house. It used to be the place of a landlord, but now it belongs to the government. However, everyone thinks this place is unlucky and no one is willing to come.
The first transaction was in two days. After it was settled, she returned to the bus company.
Hu Biao was very enthusiastic to see her back. Shen Meng vaguely saw the gossip on his face.
"Xiao Meng, you are back. Comrade Hu has been waiting for you for a long time. Where did you go to eat? Why did you take so long?" Wei Jia stood beside Hu Biao with a teacup in her hand and spoke to Shen Meng.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Next time Comrade Hu comes, I will set off firecrackers to welcome him. Sister Wei, do you think it's okay?"
"Sister Meng, that's not what I meant. Don't say that. If Qianqian knew, she would be angry with me. Comrade, I'm waiting for my sister here. Please don't bother me. Just go and do your own thing!"
Hu Biao was not polite at all. He had just arrived at the bus company when this person started chatting with him as if he was familiar with her. He ignored her for several times, but he didn't expect this female comrade to stay and especially now she was lecturing his sister like an elder. How could he tolerate this?
Wei Jia smiled at Hu Biao a little embarrassedly, then looked at Shen Meng again. How could she be like this? I was just taking advantage of her. When she first came, I did teach her. I could be considered half a master.
Now she is not happy with just a relationship. I bought five hair ornaments from her in vain, but I haven't seen the finished product yet.
"It's okay. I was just joking with Sister Wei. She is the kindest person. She can't be angry with me, right, Sister Wei?"
Seeing that she said something nice to him again, Wei Jia's dissatisfied expression immediately subsided.
"Of course not. I'm a quick-witted person. I get along well with Xiao Meng. We usually talk like this. Well, Comrade Hu, have a good chat with Xiao Meng. I'll go get you two glasses of water!"
Those in the office who were waiting to see a joke didn't see Wei Jia's joke. Instead, they watched the three people talk and laughed in the end. For a moment, they regretted why they didn't go. If they could get in touch with Hu Biao, it would be equivalent to getting in touch with the textile factory and the county committee. Even if he couldn't do anything for them, they could still get some influence if they told others about it.
"Why are you here? Didn't you bring me lunch today?"
"No, no, Qianqian listens to you the most. When you said no, she immediately asked Aunt Chang to cook less. I came to you this time because of the translation last time. My dad thinks you are right and agrees to let you go with him. Let's do as you said. They will prepare translators and you can tell them when they need you to tell them about the workshop situation. Oh, by the way, we will leave in two days."
Shen Meng couldn't help but frowned when he heard it. This time, it just happened to coincide with the non-staple food factory, so he had to think of a way.
"Okay, I got it. I'll prepare it here and wait for you to leave together the day after tomorrow. I'll go to Director Fu to ask for leave later."
"Okay." After Hu Biao finished speaking, he tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously. His desire to share was about to overflow, but Shen Meng didn't ask.
"Hey, Sister Meng, I want to tell you something, please don't tell anyone else!"
Shen Meng: ".........."
This opening remark was more or less in the hope that she could tell others, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of saying this.
"Speaking of this, I still have to apologize to you. I just found out about it today. I don't know when my mother found someone from our recruitment office and stuffed your sister-in-law, Zhou Jiaojiao, into the factory. Although she is Jiaojiao's savior, we gave her a lot of things we should give her. We also gave her a worker's notice, but she lost it and got a new job. In fact, if she had talked to Qianqian nicely, we could have given her a replacement. But she found my mother, which hurt Qianqian's feelings. What's more, she delayed her work time. No one would agree to this. The factory has its own rules."
"Really?"
"Yes, and there's more. Today she went to Qianqian to ask about the cloth scraps in the factory. Qianqian and I just found out that you had not been in charge of the workshop two days ago. This was too much. Qianqian directly ordered people to kick her out. It was impossible to stop her. But don't worry, she didn't use violence. It was also because of our past friendship. Now I guess she has brought people to your commune."
"Is that so!"
Hu Biao looked at Shen Meng's expression, which didn't fluctuate much, and he knew that this matter must have made her sad. He suddenly felt extremely guilty. His wife and children are now fat, and this is all thanks to Shen Meng. For such a long time, they have never asked them for anything, but it is Shen Meng who has to worry about their whole family.
"Sister Meng, if you have any requests, just ask. We, the Hu family, are sorry for you. I have already told the factory that my mother should ignore any comments she makes in the future. Oh, aren't Xiaobin and Shihao working in the factory? They are doing very well, but I don't think they are suitable to be frontline workers. I am thinking of transferring them to other positions, which will make things easier for them."
Shen Meng's eyes flickered when she heard what he said. In a textile factory, everyone has their own job, and it is impossible to transfer them at will. She said this purely to make herself feel better.
But now that it has come to this, she has to express her opinion.
"No, it won't work. It's already a great achievement for them to work in a textile factory. How can they be transferred to other positions? This is putting you in a difficult position. I don't have any requests, but I do have one plea. I'm afraid you'll find it inconvenient."
"Sister Meng, just tell me. I'll definitely help you with anything I can do."
Shen Meng said embarrassedly, "You and Qianqian are both educated people. My younger brother hasn't been to school much. If possible, could you please help teach him some cultural knowledge? Oh, and if possible, I'd like them to learn how to drive. This plea is a bit too much. If it's inconvenient, then..."
"No, no, Sister Meng, don't worry. I will definitely help you with this. Xiaobin's master always praises learning knowledge when he does things. I will teach him the same way as my own brother. As for driving, it's not difficult. Just ask the driver in the factory to teach him when he gets off work. Let Shihao come along too. That kid is lively. It's just right for us to teach both of them at the same time."
"That's great."
Shen Meng was delighted. No wonder Zhou Jiaojiao's career progressed so smoothly in the original novel. It turned out that the people she met were all treasure tools!
