Chapter 306 New Cabinet: I've thought it through with my feet, and you're the one, Sister Wang...
“Secretary Li, I won’t go back to the factory for now. I want to stay at this naval base. Yes, I’ve discussed it with the base leaders. In order to solve the employment problem for female family members of the base and women in the vicinity, we want to set up a ‘Military Wives’ Craft Workshop’ here…”
“Teacher He, yes, I am Qin Xiangxiang. I can't go to school for the next few days. I'm at the Wusongkou Naval Base. I need to…”
...
After finishing the call, Qin Xiangxiang couldn't help but smile, silently praising herself and Xiangxiang with her smile!
She's really good at "slacking off and being lazy".
Under the guise of "supporting the military" here, she legally and legitimately avoids going to work in factories and schools, sleeping until she naturally wakes up every day. When asked, she says she is "brainstorming" ideas for starting a handicraft workshop and night market stall.
In reality, she didn't put in any effort at all.
The children had gone back to school, while she remained at the naval base, comfortably lying down by herself. Qin Xiangxiang's biggest wish at that moment was to place a rocking chair on the balcony of the deadbeat man's new family apartment.
Enjoy the sea breeze, read a novel, drink tea, and take a nap.
Occasionally, I would look up at the distant warships and the sea, and listen to the bugle calls from the army. I was not afraid of anything, not even the "embroidered shoes of spies."
The military camp exuded an aura of righteousness, making everyone feel incredibly safe. It was a shame she forgot to bring a few more novels!
You can slack off anytime, anywhere if you want to.
"I should prepare another sun hat and put on some sunglasses..." Qin Xiangxiang yawned. Although twelve years had passed, it seemed that she could live a lazy, complacent life as a soldier in this naval base.
Qin Xiangxiang read a novel for a while, then took a comfortable nap. After getting up and eating something, she prepared to "face the challenge head-on" and go find Sister Wang to continue gossiping, while also passing the buck.
In this new naval base, the first step is to form a "new cabinet," and the talent within the cabinet must, of course, be recommended and investigated by Sister Wang.
To establish the "Military Wives' Craft Workshop," her "new cabinet" needs talent in three areas.
First and foremost, the most important person is the general manager. This person must have the ability to understand and handle interpersonal relationships, as well as the ability to coordinate resources. They are responsible for handling all sorts of trivial interpersonal interactions and the allocation of various materials and supplies.
Secondly, there's the matter of "bookkeeping." A good accountant is needed to keep meticulous records, including detailed income and expenditure statements and inventory lists. Every single transaction and every inch of fabric must be clearly documented to prevent management chaos.
Thirdly, there's the "quality control." I wonder if there's anyone with the surname "Rong" in the naval base's family compound here? This person has to be "demanding," stubborn, unafraid of offending people, and have zero tolerance for "flaws."
With a "general manager," an "accountant," and a "quality control officer," Qin Xiangxiang's initial cabinet for the naval base completed its basic framework.
In reality, this is pretty much the same.
If problems arise, the general manager will be held responsible, while Qin Xiangxiang will shed all her burdens.
hey-hey.
And this general manager, who is also her "chief steward," is someone Qin Xiangxiang doesn't even need to think about. The person she's targeting is "Sister Wang"!
This Sister Wang is comparable to the head of the intelligence department. She knows all sorts of big and small things going on in the base, just like Aunt Pan. Moreover, she is warm-hearted and loves to help people mediate family disputes and conflicts.
Go on, Sister Wang, ride your horse to your new post!
Yesterday, Sister Wang tricked her badly, so today Qin Xiangxiang will try to brainwash Sister Wang in reverse and shift all the blame onto her.
Qin Xiangxiang mentally prepared herself and once again praised her lazy but cleverness.
"Sister Wang, you're here? I was just looking for you."
"...Factory Director Qin?"
Qin Xiangxiang smiled slightly, her beautiful face revealing no trace of scheming. She said naturally, "Sister Wang, in this base's family compound, you are the most warm-hearted and have the highest prestige. If we are to establish this Military Wives' Craft Workshop, you must come and help."
"From now on, if anyone in this workshop has family difficulties and needs help, or if anyone has a minor conflict with someone else... please take care of all of these for me. I can't handle this kind of thing."
Sister Wang was stunned for a moment: "So what do you mean?"
Qin Xiangxiang said matter-of-factly, "Then of course you, eldest sister, should be the 'General Coordinator of the Craft Workshop'!"
"General Coordinator?!" Sister Wang pursed her lips, her face contorting with rage. In the past, when she meddled in other people's business, she was at most called "kind-hearted." Now she's the "General Coordinator"?
Qin Xiangxiang said, "I've thought about this seriously for 'one night' (yeah, right). This 'general coordinator' has to be you, Sister Wang."
She thought to herself: I'll use my feet to figure it out, Sister Wang, let's go.
"Well, well, well, well, I'll give it a try." The usually talkative Sister Wang became a little hesitant at this moment.
“You’re the one! I’ll go to the mimeograph room in a bit and get you a red certificate of honor. I’ll have the base leaders stamp it, and you’ll officially become the ‘General Coordinator of Our Military Spouses’ Craft Workshop’.”
"Sister Wang, from now on you will be the 'pillar of strength' of the Craftsmanship Workshop!"
Sister Wang swallowed hard, and suddenly her heart started pounding wildly, as if she had been hit by a pie from the sky, making her feel dizzy and irritated. At that moment, she felt that her value had been recognized like never before.
The "Factory Director Qin" in front of her truly had a pair of "sharp" eyes, and immediately noticed Sister Wang's extraordinary nature.
Sister Wang couldn't help but straighten up. From that moment on, maintaining the stable development of Qiaoshoufang became her new life goal.
Qin Xiangxiang said, "Sister Wang, to establish this craft workshop, we need to find two specific talents here: one is an accountant to manage the accounts, and the other is a quality inspector to control the quality of all finished products. Can you recommend two candidates?"
Sister Wang's eyes lit up and she immediately had someone in mind: "There's a Zhang Mei in our compound. Before she joined the army, she worked as an accountant at the supply and marketing cooperative in her hometown for eight years. Although she is introverted and doesn't like to talk, she is meticulous in her work. I accidentally saw her family's expense accounts before... and they were crystal clear."
Qin Xiangxiang said, "Okay, take me to find this Zhang Mei and hire her as the 'financial manager' of Qiaoshoufang."
Sister Wang excitedly took Qin Xiangxiang to find Zhang Mei. Zhang Mei was a tall, thin woman who, after coming from the countryside to this place with the army, couldn't integrate into urban life in Shanghai.
Although this base is considered to be in the suburbs of Shanghai, it is still many times more developed than her hometown. Along the way, there were small villas and huge factories... Zhang Mei felt timid and silent.
"I...I'll be the chief financial officer?"
Like Sister Wang, Zhang Mei also looked like she had been hit by a pie, and even thought that the "Factory Director Qin" in front of her was blind.
“I come from the countryside and have only worked in a rural supply and marketing cooperative, where the management was not standardized.”
Qin Xiangxiang casually said, "It doesn't matter whether it's standardized or not. You just need to keep the accounts clear for me. Sister Wang said you keep clear and concise accounts."
"Okay, then."
After finalizing the financial manager, Qin Xiangxiang said to Sister Wang, "Now, we need to find someone with textile and sewing experience, preferably someone who is serious, even a bit eccentric, and doesn't show leniency. We absolutely do not want someone who is easily swayed."
"This person is in charge of quality inspection and is the 'Chief Quality Engineer' of Qiaoshoufang."
Sister Wang pondered for a few seconds and immediately thought of a candidate: "I've got it, Xie Shuzhen. She worked in a clothing factory when she was young. She is a bit harsh, rigid, and ruthless, but she is quick and efficient and conscientious in her work."
Qin Xiangxiang immediately said, "Then let's find Xie Shuzhen."
Hsieh Shu-chen is an older military wife. She is already old, but because she always has a stern face, she looks several years older than her actual age.
"Sister-in-law Xie, our base here wants to establish a military spouses' craft workshop and would like to invite you to be the 'Chief Quality Engineer' to oversee the quality of all products. As you know, whether it's a craft workshop, a textile factory, or a clothing factory, the most important thing is quality. We must establish clear rules, and we must never send out substandard products. Many of our future orders will be export products that will be sold overseas, and we can't afford to lose face and ruin our reputation!"
"When it comes to ensuring quality, you must be ruthless and safeguard our reputation!"
Xie Shuzhen nodded, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the beautiful female factory director in front of her.
The famous "Factory Director Qin" was completely different from her appearance on TV, and at this moment, Xie Shuzhen understood why she was able to succeed.
She gave a military salute. "Director Qin, thank you for your trust. I will definitely ensure the quality of all products!"
Having finalized the three candidates for the "preliminary cabinet" at the base, Qin Xiangxiang felt relieved and couldn't help but want to wipe away the non-existent sweat from her forehead—in reality, she didn't seem to have put any thought into it at all.
Anyway, that's how it is.
Qin Xiang went to the base and got several red book covers with "Certificates of Honor" printed on them. He wrote "Letters of Appointment" on the paper. One was "General Coordinator of Qiaoshoufang", another was "General Financial Manager" and the last was "Chief Quality Engineer".
After it was all done, we got the official seal of the base's military dependents' resettlement office to stamp it, and the makeshift team was all set up.
Qin Xiangxiang handed the red booklet to Sister Wang with both hands, directly shifting the responsibility: "Sister Wang, as the general coordinator, you will be in charge of all personnel, affairs, and resources of Qiaoshoufang from now on!"
"Okay." Sister Wang held the red booklet that represented her position and honor in her hand. Her expression was extremely complicated. She wanted to laugh and feel proud, but she forced herself not to laugh.
Overjoyed and filled with excitement, Sister Wang felt lightheaded. Then, as if in a dream, she returned home, her mind filled with "ambitions and aspirations."
"Chief of Staff Li's wife, Xiao Qin, Factory Director Qin, is truly a first-rate talent, a woman who can accomplish great things! Look, she has resolved so many complicated matters."
"No man is as capable as her! She's a true heroine!!!"
...
Sister Wang was immersed in happiness until, after a while, she suddenly became a little confused.
Something seems off.
Just yesterday, she told her husband that since "Director Qin" was so capable, she should be allowed to solve the employment problem for military spouses.
However, now...
"How did I become the general coordinator?"
