After pondering for a while, Chen Qing said, "Then let's recruit from outside this time, but we need to conduct an assessment to get them in. They need to have a junior high school education, otherwise they won't be able to understand the documents, and it will be difficult for you to train them."
"Okay, I'll go talk to the factory director."
Liang Peng went downstairs to find the factory committee.
Just as Chen Qing was about to think it over, Xi Gaomin arrived and reported the union's requirements to her: "We can only recruit workers from outside the union in the near future; we cannot hire family members as workers."
"Then let's apply for a construction team to build houses, otherwise there won't be enough houses to go around in the future."
Chen Qing often felt that the factory director was like a patriarch.
Let alone basic necessities like food, clothing, housing, and transportation, the factory has to find solutions for everything from helping employees find partners, get married, have children, send their children to school, and provide for their retirement.
Everything needs to be arranged for the workers.
Chen Qing could only be thankful that she earned a lot of money; otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to manage the nearly 10,000 employees at the main factory.
"OK."
Xi Gaomin glanced at He Yuan again. She wasn't quite sure what He Yuan had done over the years, but just by looking at the bodyguards around Chen Qing, she knew that He Yuan had made significant contributions.
This couple truly built their empire on their own merits.
"I'll go now."
"Go."
Chen Qing was also thinking that after the scale of the entire factory was finalized, he would find an opportunity to carry out a major overhaul of the garment factory next year.
To avoid a shortage of manpower and unnecessary redeployment.
During this time, Chen Qing made several more phone calls. After learning that he was asking He Yuan, he handed the phone directly to He Yuan.
He Yuan refused outright.
He hung up the phone again without hesitation.
After finishing what he was doing, Chen Qing saw He Yuan drawing blueprints for a wheelchair and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
He Yuan explained, "Pingping has difficulty walking, and she really likes that girl, so I helped make her a wheelchair, and also to show off my usefulness."
Chen Qing: "Eek~"
He Yuan smiled.
Chen Qing then asked, "Making a wheelchair must be quite tiring, right? I remember wheelchairs cost over three hundred yuan, that's too expensive!"
He Yuan: "Applying for materials from various departments is a painstaking process, but it's not too bad in the end. The main problem is that it's the first time we've done it, so we have to spend time testing the sturdiness of the wheelchair to make sure the child doesn't fall."
"That's true, then do a good job."
Chen Qing took out sweet potato chips and a small soda from the drawer, eating and drinking them while listening to international news on the radio.
He Yuan looked up: "Aren't you busy?"
"I'm studying!"
Chen Qingyi spoke with righteous indignation!
Listening to the radio broadcast, He Yuan couldn't refute it: "Director Chen is really diligent."
Chen Qing raised an eyebrow: "That's right."
Click, click—
Sure enough, He Yuan's fried sweet potato chips were incredibly fragrant.
Seeing her acting strangely, He Yuan lowered his eyes and drew a picture, his eyes filled with a doting smile.
Chen Qing sipped her drink while admiring his good looks, then deliberately interrupted his work, asking, "Haven't you had any romantic prospects these past few years?"
"No."
There really isn't one in the country.
He kept referring to her as "my wife..."
So everyone knows he has a wife.
People who are transferred to remote areas to do research are unlikely to have the mind to cause trouble or damage national interests, so there really isn't one.
People abroad have more open minds.
There are quite a few peach blossoms.
But often, before he even realizes it, someone else will refuse on his behalf.
What if he misbehaves abroad?
That would mean a loss to national interests.
A large number of people were even more interested in his peach blossoms than Chen Qing was.
Chen Qing continued munching on sweet potato chips: "You did a really good job, here's some sweet potato chips for you."
"Thank you……"
"Hehehe, you're welcome."
Seeing him continue working, Chen Qing prayed to heaven that she had a subordinate like He Yuan.
Highly capable, energetic, quick-witted, accomplished, and with a great personality—he's practically the perfect subordinate!
In the afternoon, Xi Gaomin came to Chen Qing again and said, "The factory's family workers also need job opportunities. They already complained at lunchtime that they knew that the ten hard-won job opportunities were given to outsiders."
“It’s normal that they’re not used to it. Next time we recruit, we’ll follow this year’s rules: half will be given priority to returning educated youth from within the factory, and the other half will be recruited from the general public. But we have too many kids in our garment factory, and we’ll eventually be unable to accommodate them all…”
Chen Qing had a headache. She got up, took out a file folder from the filing cabinet behind her, and handed the newspaper inside to Xi Gaomin.
"Look, this year's policies are trending towards late marriage, late childbirth, fewer births, and better births. The country has set the requirement that it's best to have one child and at most two. Let's see if we can instill new ideas and new concepts in everyone."
Xi Gaomin said with difficulty, "This is not easy to handle."
Chen Qing: "Take it slow."
Then she took Xi Gaomin to the Women's Federation.
It concerns the issue of childbirth.
It would be better to discuss it with the director of the Women's Federation.
The three of them discussed it and talked until it was time to leave work.
Chen Qing was exhausted.
New reforms require new benefits.
If we want to convince people to choose eugenics, we need to show them the benefits of eugenics. That requires a large investment in the early stages to let people know that having fewer children leads to personal well-being and outstanding children!
Chen Qing slowly made his way home, thinking about how to make money. After much thought, he concluded that he still had to make money from the rich!
Then we'll have to wait until next year.
When Chen Qing arrived home, Mao Mao also came and greeted her naturally: "Auntie, hurry up and wash your hands, dinner is ready!"
"Okay, I'm coming."
When Chen finished washing up and sat down, there were two cakes and a generous spread of dishes on the table. "So lavish?!"
Youyou covered her face and laughed happily: "Dad made it for us, it smells so good."
Xiaoyu couldn't wait: "It's cold, let's eat quickly, and then we'll have cake!"
She stared intently at the cake, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Chen Qing smiled and said, "Then let's start."
Xiaoyu and Youyou acted swiftly, and Chen Qing was not to be outdone.
He Yuan picked up a chicken leg for Pingping: "Eat more."
Pingping said "oh" and decided to give her father face by obediently eating the chicken leg. So after taking a bite of rice, she started gnawing on it with a blank expression.
They had no desire for things, only the helplessness of survival.
As the only one in the family who has difficulty eating, Pingping finds it hard to understand why everyone else seems to enjoy their meals so much.
By the time she finished eating a chicken leg with great effort, everyone in the family had already finished two bowls of rice.
He Yuan noticed how slowly she ate and asked, "How do you eat lunch at school?"
Pingping: "Youyou will eat half of it for me."
Chen Qing looked at his son.
No wonder I've gained weight.
It turns out they ate Pingping's portion.
Youyou blushed: "She grabbed my ear and forced me to eat it!"
Pingping admitted, "Yes."
He Yuxiang tapped Pingping's head: "No, you must eat properly!"
Pingping covered her forehead, looking aggrieved: "I can't eat."
"Then I'll go home at noon and eat with you in the cafeteria."
"don't want!"
"Want some or not?"
"eat!"
Pingping glared angrily at her brother, determined to fight back against evil forces one day.
Chen Qing said, "I'll go to school tomorrow morning and tell the teacher that she has to eat. If she can't finish, she can stay in the cafeteria to eat. I don't believe she can't finish it during the whole lunch break. Her usual portion is half of Youyou's, half and half, like feeding a chick."
Pingping didn't want her classmates to laugh at her, so she retorted, "I'm angry!"
Chen Qing: "So how do you plan to resolve this?"
Pingping thought for a moment and said, "I'll eat less at noon and more at night."
Chen Qing: "It's a deal."
Pingping was completely bewildered.
Everyone burst into laughter. (End of Chapter)
