The others around looked at He Shenghua in disbelief. Were these two crazy? They actually wanted to quit their jobs with such high salaries.
“Yes, Captain, Hong Xia is preparing to resign. You should choose someone else to be the deputy director,” He Shenghua said.
Hearing that a new deputy factory manager would be elected, everyone's minds started racing. The deputy factory manager's salary would be several yuan more each month, and over a hundred yuan more per year in salary and bonuses.
Lu Guoan looked at Lu Yuan, and seeing him nod, he didn't offer any further advice, only saying,
"Since you two have reached an agreement, then let's do it this way. We'll discuss the deputy farm manager position with our brigade cadres and then make a decision."
With the matter settled, the brigade cadres and Lu Yuan returned to the brigade headquarters for a meeting.
Lu Guoan originally intended to go to the commune to talk to Secretary Feng about going to the Honghe Pig Farm for training, but after what happened earlier, he was delayed and it was getting late, so he decided to go to the commune tomorrow.
"A-Yuan, why did you agree to let Hong, the educated youth, resign?"
As soon as he sat down, Lu Guoan couldn't wait to ask.
Lu Yuan said, "Didn't you say that the supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have a suitable candidate yet? I think Hong Zhiqing is suitable."
Several brigade cadres suddenly realized, "You want Hong, the educated youth, to be the sales clerk!"
"Yes, but the resignation was a decision made by He Shenghua and his wife themselves. They also felt that it was inappropriate for them to occupy two leadership positions at the rabbit farm."
Lu Guoan nodded. "The couple is worried about what the villagers will say. Okay, the sales clerk position will be given to Comrade Hongxia. But who would be suitable for the position of deputy director?"
The brigade cadres looked at each other and realized that the brigade was severely lacking in talent.
Many people in the brigade seem capable, but they are illiterate and would not be qualified to be leaders.
Take the sales clerk position for example. They wanted their own children or relatives to try it out. Those with some ability had already gone to rabbit farms, pig farms, or sanatoriums. The rest were illiterate and couldn't even do basic accounting, so how could they be sales clerks?
They were willing but unable to do so.
At that moment, they realized for the first time how important reading is.
After looking at each other for a long time, everyone finally turned their attention to Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan had already made up his mind. He said, "Let's just promote one of the rabbit farm's feeders. With He Shenghua above us, the deputy director doesn't need to be literate to keep records. As long as he can raise rabbits well, speak well, and communicate with those above and below, that's enough."
Everyone thought that made sense; this way, the spot would go to one of their own villagers instead of being chosen from among the educated youth, and the villagers would be happier.
After discussing it, the group all felt that Wang Cuihua, with her morning glory-like appearance, was a good fit for the job, so they unanimously decided to appoint her as the deputy factory director.
After discussing it, Lu Guoan and Zhang Yongan went to the breeding farm to tell them about it. Trumpet Flower was so excited that she slapped her thigh and promised to do a good job. The wrinkles on her face were all piled up, and she smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared.
The educated youth were somewhat disappointed, as they had thought there was hope. However, considering the reasons given by the brigade leader, they could understand them.
The next day, Lin Xiaofang read her self-criticism aloud at the brigade's broadcasting station and publicly apologized to Hong Xia.
Lu Guoan also took this opportunity to conduct ideological education for all members.
Lin Xiaofang and the others were severely criticized, and a new rule was established: "Anyone who dares to cause trouble again will be disqualified from receiving dividends from the rabbit farm and the pig farm."
Upon hearing this, everyone's skin tightened.
When money is involved, everyone has to take it seriously.
The opportunity to learn at the Honghe Pig Farm was given to Yu Shaoheng, another commune member, and Sun Maodou.
Everyone originally wanted Lu Yuan to go, but he had other things to do.
He hadn't been to the county's black market for two or three months. He had promised Monkey Three and Big Pancake Brother to supply them with goods, but it was a month later than agreed. He had to make a trip to the black market.
After Xu Dong and Lu Yuanchao drove the truck away, he went to the agricultural technology station to borrow a truck from Zhang Hongxi.
Arriving in the county town at night, they found a secluded spot, entered their spatial dimension, disguised themselves as Centipede Brother, released the Wolf King, loaded a truck with supplies, and headed to Jiang Brother's warehouse, which was the place they had arranged to meet with Monkey Three.
He didn't know what the situation was like with Monkey Three this time, nor did he know if they had become wild after not seeing each other for several months. So he had to have Wolf King accompany him to give them a warning.
Inside the warehouse at this moment.
Monkey Three and his henchmen sat around the stove roasting sweet potatoes. One of the henchmen peeled the sweet potato skin with a slurping sound. The sweet potato was so hot that he kept turning it back and forth between his left and right hands, not wanting to throw it away.
Another henchman looked worriedly at Monkey Three, who looked dejected.
"Third Brother, when do you think the eldest brother will come to deliver supplies to us? We've sold out of our supplies almost a month ago. Is he not coming?"
Monkey Three raised his hand and slapped the other person on the head. "Nonsense, the boss must have been held up by something. He'll come over when he's free."
The younger brother touched the top of his head, looking resentful. He said this every day, but only his third brother believed it.
At first he believed it, but as the days went by, his heart began to waver.
This can't go on. He needs to find another way out. Maybe he should just go and join Big Pancake Bro?
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became. I pulled out a handful of my hair and decided to go outside for some fresh air.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw a large, snow-white dog standing up, its paws out as if it were about to knock on the door, its long tongue sticking out from its fangs, as if it wanted to eat him.
"Ahhh! Ughhh!"
thump--
The wolf king's claws missed the door, so it covered its own foul mouth as it shouted.
The little brother rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone else in the warehouse stood up abruptly, first in surprise, then overjoyed.
Ahhh!
The boss's pet is here, so their boss must be here too.
Monkey Three excitedly took two steps forward, but then had to stop.
Waaah, he was afraid of the boss, that white dog. It was beautiful, but it was also fierce, just like a wolf.
So they didn't suspect it was a wolf. After all, they had never seen a real wolf before, and besides, who would keep a wolf as a pet? And it was impossible for such an obedient wolf to exist.
Everyone thought it was a dog that looked like a wolf.
Lu Yuan pushed open the door and stepped inside. He patted the white wolf and spoke in a low voice.
"Go out and find a secluded place to stay, so as not to scare anyone."
The white wolf turned around and instantly darted far away, disappearing into the night sky.
Everyone in the warehouse breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the centipede scars on Lu Yuan's face, Monkey Three no longer felt the fear he had before, but only a sense of special familiarity. He rushed over and knelt down, hugging Lu Yuan's leg, tears streaming down his face.
"Boss, boss, you're finally here! I thought you'd forgotten about me long ago, sob sob sob..."
Lu Yuan: "..."
I really want to shout: White Wolf, come back!
