In this way, Mai Hongcai gradually became famous among the new recruits.

Over time, everyone seemed to have reached a consensus that people with the surname Mai are good at fighting!

From now on, whenever someone with the surname Mai comes to the army, he will be beaten up (sparred) a few times at the beginning to see his strength.

That’s all for later.

Now, during every training session, the instructor would subconsciously stare at Mai Hongcai.

It is enough for others to just be qualified, but Mai Hongcai must reach the standard of excellence.

Why? Your sister is a wheat ear.

Your sister ranked first in every assessment, so as her younger brother, I naturally cannot be worse than her.

If it’s bad, it means you are just being perfunctory!

How can you just be perfunctory! The instructor immediately swung his whip over, a loving lashing!

Therefore, Mai Hongcai did not dare to relax at all.

During the recruit training, Mai Hongcai had to live in the recruit dormitory with other people, accept military management, and could not go out at will.

Why was Mai Sui able to do it before? That’s because Mai Sui’s group was a special forces group, different from regular soldiers like Mai Hongcai.

Moreover, except Mai Sui who is a new recruit, everyone else is a veteran.

Besides, Mai Sui went home secretly, which was actually prohibited in theory.

If Qi Chuanqing had been able to control Mai Sui at the beginning, he would definitely not have let her do this.

But...since we can't control it, we can only turn a blind eye and pretend we know nothing.

Otherwise, what else can I do!

Mai Hongcai does not have the skills or courage of Mai Sui.

Besides, even if he sneaked back home, no one would be there.

Because Mai Laosan now basically lives in Lianhua Village and rarely returns to the military area.

Especially after Mai Hongcai joined the army, Mai Laosan felt bored staying at home alone, so he simply moved back to the village.

Thanks to the hot sales of Lotus brand sewing machines, Mai Laosan now enjoys a high reputation in the village.

No one called him "Mai Lao San" to his face anymore, but called him "Director Mai" instead.

The village urchin who was previously seen as idle and unemployed has now transformed himself into the object of everyone's pursuit.

All I can say is that life is full of surprises.

Mai Laosan now walks in the village with a breeze and speaks in a very stylish way, all of which he learned from the leaders in the city.

I have to say that sometimes Mai Laosan pretends to be quite conscientious.

People who don't know him might think he is a gentleman who is well-educated and humorous.

Little did people know that he only attended junior high school.

The most important thing is that Mai Lao San has no guilty conscience at all.

He has a kind of blind self-confidence and he thinks he is a man of great wisdom.

And self-confidence can sometimes change a person's aura and bring an inexplicable power to those around him, thus pushing things in a better direction.

Mai Laosan is such a person!

In the past, when the factory had no orders, Mai Xiangbei and a few others like Mai Juncai could handle the work and there was no need to hire anyone.

But since cooperating with Yan Feng, the number of orders has increased, and Mai Xiangbei and his friends are simply unable to handle them all.

Yan Feng was like Tang Monk chanting sutras, urging Mai Lao San to deliver the goods every day.

Mai Laosan had never been nagged like this before when he was working in the fields. He was annoyed by it.

So I had to hire someone.

If a small workshop like the Lotus Factory hires someone, it will definitely give priority to relatives.

For example, Mai Xiangnan.

He only earned ten work points a day farming, so it would be better for him to work in a factory, where Mai Lao San paid him one yuan a day.

That’s thirty yuan a month, which is higher than the salary of some workers in the city.

Like Meilin, she has not yet been converted to a regular employee, and the apprentice's salary is only 18 yuan a month.

Of course, if you work in a formal factory, in addition to wages, you will also receive invoices every month.

For example, food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons and the like.

Mai Laosan definitely does not have these welfare benefits, as they are just a small workshop in the village.

But compared to farming, temporary work that pays 30 yuan a month is definitely a hot commodity!

Mai Xiangnan naturally would not refuse, and he also wanted to thank the third brother for thinking of him.

As soon as the news came out, many people from Lianhua Village came to find Mai Laosan, wanting to work for him.

He is even willing to lower his own price and be paid only 90 cents a day.

When Yang Huizhen found out about this, she immediately thought of her three older brothers, two younger brothers, and seven or eight older nephews from her mother's side, and felt that they could also be capable.

Mai Laosan originally thought it didn't matter, it didn't matter who he invited.

But Mai Xiangdong found him and asked him to give priority to inviting people from the village.

Why? This involves the question of social etiquette.

First of all, the factory was built in the village and everyone has known each other for decades.

As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, and being kind to others is also being kind to yourself.

Secondly, it is to prevent people in the village from being jealous and causing trouble.

The machines in the factory are running every day, and anyone who is interested can tell by just taking a quick glance.

Everyone can see the price of sewing machines at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Not to mention it’s even more expensive on the black market!

Even if the cost is not transparent, you can tell with your toes that it is profitable, otherwise who would spend so much energy on it.

If Mai Laosan does not bring any villagers with him and only thinks about his own relatives, it is likely to cause public outrage.

Don’t say it, this is Mai Laosan’s own factory, he can hire whoever he wants, and it’s none of the villagers’ business.

But jealousy is sometimes unreasonable.

One can find fault with anything, let alone a factory as big as Mai Laosan's. It's too easy to find any fault with it!

Isn’t there a saying that goes, “If you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it”?

Once someone starts making trouble, it may not be a big deal once or twice.

After all, Mai Xiangdong is still the captain of Lianhua Village and can play a certain deterrent role.

But over time, things are likely to get out of control.

You know, interests are blinding and human nature cannot stand scrutiny.

Therefore, it is better to take precautions before it happens and let the villagers participate so that everyone can reap some benefits.

Even if someone becomes jealous and wants to cause trouble in the future, the villagers working in the factory will not agree.

They will spontaneously stand up to protect the factory and fight against those who are causing trouble.

This is how you should deal with people.

Finally, Mai Xiangdong was also worried about disputes.

We are all relatives, and if someone does not do his job well, we would feel embarrassed to fire him.

But Yang Huizhen’s relatives are different from Mai Xiangnan’s.

Mai Xiangnan and Mai Laosan are brothers. They have had a good relationship since childhood and are familiar with each other's temperament.

If you have any opinions, just say it.

Even if you may be unhappy at the time, you will definitely get over it in a couple of days.

But Yang Huizhen's relatives were still separated by a layer.

It would be embarrassing if there were any conflicts in the end and the relatives could not get along.

In fact, Mai Lao San also understands these principles.

It’s just that his energy lately has been focused on expanding his business, so he hasn’t thought too much about other things.

After Mai Xiangdong's reminder, he immediately realized the problem.
