The next day, Zhang Sumei brought Liu Shile to the cooperative. As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw a man in his forties wearing a dark blue Zhongshan suit.
Upon seeing the two women, the man frowned, quickly glanced around, and, finding no colleagues present, waved them away.
As he hurried along, he said, "What's wrong with you, woman? Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you? That thing you mentioned won't work out. Get out of here, get out of here!"
Seeing his behavior, Liu Shile immediately understood what was going on. Although she didn't know who this person was, he was clearly deliberately making things difficult for her, hoping to make her adoptive mother back down.
People are very busy at this time, and the cooperative is no exception. There are not many people left to stay and work after work, which is why Du Dayong dared to do this.
"Comrade, didn't you say that as long as we are willing to join the cooperative, the cooperative will not refuse us? Why are you driving us away when we want to bring our dairy cows into the cooperative?"
Even if you don't want us to join the cooperative, you should at least give us a reason. What do you mean by just kicking us out like this?
Liu Shile originally didn't want to speak, but when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from not far away, she thought about it and spoke up. Her voice was crisp and sweet, which was quite pleasant to listen to.
Moreover, her words made their meaning very clear, making it obvious that they had dairy cows and wanted to join the cooperative, but were rejected without any reason.
As the head of the cooperative, Zhang Qing is very busy. He had left some documents in the office before, so he came back to pick them up in person.
Upon returning, they heard that some people had brought their own dairy cows to the cooperative seeking cooperation, only to be rejected without any reason by their colleagues.
He thought for a moment and didn't show up immediately. Instead, he stood still, ready to hear how Du Dayong treated the people who came to him seeking cooperation.
Then Du Dayong said arrogantly, "This lady, take your child and leave right now. Your situation does not meet our cooperation conditions. Don't delay our work here!"
"You brat! I told you they wouldn't take our cows, but you wouldn't listen. You dragged me here to embarrass myself. Now look what happened, we've been kicked out again. Aren't you ashamed?!"
Zhang Sumei came here holding back her anger, but she was being scolded like this as soon as she arrived. How could she bear to put up with this nonsense? Since she had a little pushover with her, she simply used her as a target for criticism.
Liu Shile wasn't going to be like her. She stared at the middle-aged man with clear eyes and asked, "Then can you tell us what your cooperation terms are?"
Du Dayong felt a little unsure, but he didn't show it on his face and didn't talk to the sharp-tongued girl.
He then turned to Zhang Sumei and said, "Please keep your child in check. She's so young and already behaving badly. What right does a child have to interrupt adults' conversations?"
"Comrade Du Dayong, is this how you treat comrades who come to us for cooperation?" Zhang Qing was very angry when he heard Du Dayong directly kick him out.
Why do they go to the villages and groups every day? Isn't it to find more people to join the cooperative? But Du Dayong is something else; he just drives away people who want to cooperate with them.
I thought Du Dayong was quite capable and decent in his dealings with people, so I kept him on duty at the cooperative. But I never expected him to work like this!
His appearance caused Du Dayong's expression to change drastically, and he even stammered, "President, you, you're back?"
Zhang Qing's face was full of coldness as she glared at him. "If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't have known that this was how you worked!"
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Sumei and her daughter. As he expected, the little girl who had just spoken seemed quite lively.
He said in a friendly tone, "Comrades, what is it that you would like to cooperate with the cooperative on? Can you tell me about it?"
Zhang Sumei had met many people in her usual business dealings and was actually quite shrewd, but she had never met this president before, and she became a little nervous as soon as she heard that he was the president.
Just as he was about to speak, Du Dayong spoke up, "President, they just want to take advantage of the cooperative. They want to bring a dairy cow that they don't know where they got it from to cooperate with us."
"President, you can't just listen to them like that. Think about it, what kind of profit can just one cow bring in?"
In fact, Du Dayong didn't even know what a dairy cow was. He had only heard others mention it and knew that it could produce milk and that milk was nutritious and drinkable.
In his mind, it was just a water buffalo that produced milk, nothing special, just an extra mouthful of milk.
But Zhang Qing was different. He was a comrade transferred from the county and had a lot of experience. When he heard about dairy cows, he immediately had a plan in mind.
After he said that, Zhang Sumei couldn't bring herself to say what she originally wanted to say. Liu Shile almost rolled her eyes at the sight. It seemed that her cheap mother was only a bully at home.
"Uncle President, it's like this..." Liu Shile explained the whole story with a slight smile, then said, "So we thought about cooperating with the cooperative, but this comrade refused to accept it."
As Liu Shile spoke, she pointed to Du Dayong standing to the side. During this time, Du Dayong tried to interrupt several times, but Liu Shile did not let him have his way. Afterwards, she even complained about him.
This person is an enemy, not a friend. Liu Shile doesn't want her enemy to have an easy time, so it's no problem for her to casually put a bad word to them or file a complaint.
Zhang Qing nodded, glanced at Du Dayong, but said nothing. Then he looked at Zhang Sumei, pointed at Liu Shile, and asked, "Comrade Zhang, right? Is this also your idea?"
Zhang Sumei was annoyed, feeling that the brat had stolen her thunder, but also glad that she had spoken up and explained the matter clearly.
She felt conflicted, but she dared not show it in front of her superiors, and simply nodded, "Yes, yes, this is what our family means."
Zhang Qing nodded. Although there was only one dairy cow, there probably weren't many families in town who could afford or were willing to drink dairy milk, so one cow should be enough.
With that in mind, he invited the two women into his office, asked them to sit down, poured them tea, and then began to discuss the cooperation plan.
In fact, the cooperation plans are basically the same nowadays, but other people cooperate on family contracts and land, while their family cooperates on dairy cows.
Zhang Sumei was literate. After reading the terms and conditions, and thinking about her eldest son's situation, she mustered up her courage.
He asked, "Comrade Chairman, if we sign an agreement, won't the cooperative also need people to raise these dairy cows?"
Zhang Qing was pondering how to bring this up. He thought that most people in this town had never even heard of dairy cows, let alone knew how to raise them.
