Upon seeing that the truck was mostly loaded with straw mats, Lin Ying raised an eyebrow: "Straw mats from Baoshan Village sell so well?"
Wu Bo knew that Lin Ying had a good relationship with Baoshan Village, and said with a smile, "That's right. Last year, everyone here hung a layer of straw mats on the walls. Now, this method has been learned from other places. Naturally, the sales of straw mats have increased. A truckload of goods can be shipped every day. Since the start of winter hibernation, their village has been the busiest."
Lin Ying was happy for them too: "That's great. Everyone won't be cold in winter, and they won't go hungry either. This is truly addressing everyone's urgent needs."
Wu Bo gave her a thumbs up: "You're really good with words. Let's go, I'll take you there, and say hello to the driver."
Lin Ying had heard that being a driver was a lucrative job these days, and that people who could drive were more powerful than bosses. Especially those who could drive these kinds of trucks.
I didn't expect it to be true.
Wu Bo was perfectly normal just now, but when he got to the driver, he offered him cigarettes and said nice things, and the driver's eyelids drooped for a moment before he agreed to let Lin Ying ride.
Seeing this, Lin Ying really wanted to say that she was just going to the city center and didn't necessarily need to take this car.
This whole mess has made her owe Wu Bo a favor.
Sure enough, after Wu Bo came over, he said to Lin Ying, "Comrade Lin Ying, it took me a lot of effort to get Comrade Gao to agree to give you a ride."
Lin Ying said helplessly, "Just tell me what's on your mind." She still didn't know Wu Bo very well.
Wu Bo chuckled: "I heard that Comrade Lin Ying is now a designer at the Second Machinery Factory. Right now, the heating systems produced by the Second Machinery Factory are still out of stock at our town's supply and marketing cooperative."
The reason Baoshantun is thriving now is also because of your idea.
I've found out everything. You're registered at the Second Machinery Factory, but your grain ration is still with the military. Since you're just registered anyway, why don't you register at our commune too? We'll give you a hundred yuan a month, but the highest salary here is a driver who gets seventy-something yuan a month. We can't compare to the machinery factory, so we need you to work part-time as the commune's accountant and cashier every day.
But don't worry, you only need to come and take a walk around once a day.
The main thing is that I want you to come up with some creative ideas for each of our communes, so they can make money too.
Lin Ying understood; they were after her for giving advice to Baoshan Village and didn't want to give up her accounting skills. They were setting a trap for her.
She felt that she didn't necessarily have to ride in this car.
Just as Lin Ying was about to refuse, Wu Bo said, "Don't think about refusing yet. Think about it, you still have two children to support. More salary means more income."
Besides, you're essentially holding two positions, so you get way more vouchers than others. Not to mention, you'll definitely receive two sets of New Year's gifts from our club this year! Look at your child, so young, is there enough formula? If you're registered with us, how about we give you two extra formula vouchers a month?"
Lin Ying was indeed tempted, not by the two New Year's gifts, but because Wu Bo was right: an extra salary would give her more financial security in raising a child. Although her and Zhao Qinghuai's combined salaries were sufficient, formula coupons were indeed scarce; one can of formula required eight coupons, and a bag of formula required two. Er Ya could currently drink two cans a month by herself.
She gets two milk powder coupons a month from the No. 2 factory, while Zhao Qinghuai gets four. She always has to exchange other coupons for milk powder coupons with others.
Now that she has two more milk powder coupons, even if she has to ask fewer people to redeem them, at least Shuanzi can drink milk powder too, right?
It's not unreasonable for Er Ya to drink two cans and Shuan Zi to drink a bag, right?
Another issue is that the family doesn't have many fine cloth coupons, so she mostly uses coarse cloth. However, now that there are children in the family, she feels that coarse cloth is more comfortable to wear, but the children have delicate skin and always need to wear fine cloth.
So, they both don't have enough tickets.
Sigh, these days, it's not that we don't have enough money, it's that we don't have enough tickets.
"Alright, since Director Wu has said so, there's no point in me saying anything more. But let me make this clear beforehand: please specify the exact salary for each of my two jobs, so that when you hire a new accountant and want me to step down, you don't just deduct a large portion of my salary."
Or, like in Baoshantun, I can only provide guidance this once. Even if I went to guide every commune, there would be a day when I'd run out of guidance. Does that mean that if I run out of talent here, you'll just stop paying me?"
