The captain cleared his throat and looked at the group of people who had caused trouble earlier.
"Everyone has finished speaking, right? Now it's my turn to speak?"
No one made a sound; the room was completely silent.
The captain didn't really want to hear them repeat their previous questions, so he started talking to himself.
"I remember telling everyone that because this side business of ours is just starting out, it can't be scaled up yet, so we're just participating voluntarily."
Those people who were just whining didn't seem to want to participate, so we won't force them. The accountant has recorded the list, so you can all go back now.
Upon hearing this, those people were outraged. Some offered repentance, some offered excuses, and others became enraged.
But the captain ignored them and just watched them argue.
No one expected the captain to actually go to such lengths, but no one wanted to plead for those people.
After all, we've lived in the same village for decades, so who doesn't know who?
So everyone knew a bit about those troublemakers, and since no one really wanted to get involved, they all chose to stand by and watch.
The captain and his men remained silent, partly because they didn't want to waste their breath arguing with these people, and partly because they wanted to take this opportunity to give others a warning, letting everyone know that when it came to side businesses, they would definitely get serious.
As it turns out, this warning was effective, and those who had previously surfaced and been sidelined were indeed widely recognized as prone to causing trouble.
When they finally got tired of making a scene, they realized that no one was paying attention to them at all. Even the others were just watching the show and had no intention of joining in. Only then did they realize the situation and gradually quiet down.
After they had all stopped talking, Wang Fulin continued:
"Well, it seems you've said enough this time. Now go back. I keep my word. Bean Sprouts and the others don't need to get involved anymore."
After saying that, as if still worried, he gave further instructions to the others:
"If everyone cherishes the opportunity to make money, they should know what to do."
They can't participate, but precisely because they can't participate, they're more likely to leak the information. It won't affect them anyway, so you'd better keep it a secret!
"By the way, our team's side hustles will definitely include more than just this in the future. If you guys start spouting nonsense outside, don't blame me for not letting you participate later!"
Those who were excluded were naturally resentful, but upon hearing that there would be other side jobs available, they dared not make any rash moves.
After reprimanding these people, Wang Fulin continued the previous topic.
"Well, I know that everyone has some doubts about the orders from these factories, especially their fixed delivery times. This is unavoidable, and I understand."
But what I want to tell everyone is that once you're familiar with the process, the sprouting time for bean sprouts is actually quite controllable. It's not like they leave us absolutely no room for error; a difference of a day or two is fine, but a significant difference is unacceptable, you know?
"Yes, the captain is right. And you can decide for yourselves how many tasks the team will assign you. You can take as many tasks as you want."
If you're really worried, take less. If it doesn't work out in the end, you can always cook it at home; it'll still be a fresh dish, won't it?
"Moreover, besides food, we can also take it to the market to exchange for other things, which was also approved by the commune leaders."
After thinking about it, everyone realized that it made sense and felt more at ease.
“Okay, Captain, Party Secretary, we believe you are wholeheartedly doing this for our own good, and we also believe in the two young educated youths and Comrade Zhao. Our family will join in this side business!”
"Yes, I believe you too, and my family did it too!"
"I want to participate too! I can do it! I'm the best at growing vegetables!"
