Chapter 217 I am a human being, not pork.



"This method generates huge profits, and naturally orders come in like snowflakes. It's imperative for the factory to hire workers, and on a large scale at that."

"Although I only took the bricks they had burned and stockpiled, they weren't worth much at all. The factory owed me a huge favor, so naturally they gave me plenty of job openings as a token of their gratitude."

Ke Meiyu looked at him with adoration.

Each character tackles challenges one-on-one, but the villain effortlessly unleashes a group attack – how cool is that?

Qin Yuanjiu chuckled and leaned close to her ear, "I know you admire me, but don't keep looking at me like that in front of others, or I'll want to devour you piece by piece."

Ke Meiyu's ears felt hot and itchy, her face suddenly turned bright red, and she snorted twice to dodge away, "I'm a person, not pork, how can I eat it?"

Qin Yuanjiu admired her feigned innocence and chuckled softly, "You'll find out later that people can be eaten, especially women."

In the blink of an eye, the young man was surrounded by villagers and entered the courtyard.

Almost all the able-bodied young men in the village, aged sixteen to forty-five, came.

"Hello, Comrade Qin, I am Gao Yanjun from the recruitment office of the brick factory in Huayuan Town. You can call me Xiao Gao," Gao Yanjun said with a smile as he stepped forward and bowed deeply to Qin Yuanjiu.

"Hello, Comrade Gao," Qin Yuanjiu stepped forward to help him up, shook hands with him with a smile, and then turned to invite the village chief and the village party secretary to come inside and sit down.

At this time, Ke's mother had already prepared brown sugar poached eggs and jasmine honey tea with her sister-in-law.

He was accompanied by the old man, Mr. Xue, and the three Ke brothers.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries and some brown sugar poached eggs, Gao Yanjun got straight to the point: "Comrade Qin, our factory director Liu has been very busy lately because the factory produced high-quality brick samples and received orders from many companies, so he has been working on building brick kilns recently."

"Factory manager, I heard that Luofeng Village has recently produced a lot of bricks, which will be used to house poultry and livestock, as well as to build brick houses for the villagers. Are there many comrades who are already skilled workers?"

The village chief nodded with a smile: "That's right. The villagers in Huayuan Town may not be highly educated, but they are not stupid. They are serious about learning anything, and they are hardworking and good at doing things!"

Qin Yuanjiu also said, "I trained all the people in the village. I even formed a brick and tile team for this purpose, and the members of the team are already ready to graduate."

Gao Yanjun said happily, "That's great! The brick factory has just built a large number of brick kilns. The master craftsmen are leading the workers to produce new bricks and tiles. They have already completed a batch of orders and can start large-scale recruitment."

"It takes time for experienced workers to train new workers, but orders are very tight right now. The factory manager is so worried that he's gone bald."

"That's great. With the help of our comrades from Huayuan Town, this situation has been greatly alleviated."

Gao Yanjun lowered his voice and said, "Actually, our factory manager thinks that the factory's economic situation has not fully recovered yet. This recruitment is large in scale, but only 30% of the workers are permanent, and the rest are temporary."

"We'll decide whether to make a batch of temporary workers permanent based on the factory's performance. Also, there will be a large number of temporary workers in the factory for a long time to cope with fluctuations in the factory's profits."

His meaning was quite clear: the young men from Luofeng Village would occupy the majority of the permanent positions.

Everyone in the room was very happy.

Ke's mother then began preparing dinner.

"Auntie, please don't bother. I came over after get off work to discuss something with you. It's almost the end of the year, and everyone at the factory is incredibly busy. I still have to visit a few more villages later."

He patted the flashlight in his bag and said with a smile.

Qin Yuanjiu laughed and said, "Mom, could you please prepare some quick food for us? I'll take him for a ride on my motorcycle later. Riding a motorcycle at night with a flashlight is quite dangerous."

Gao Yanjun repeatedly refused, saying, "Comrade Qin, there's no need to trouble yourself. I know the mountain roads very well. If it gets too late, I can just stay at a local's house for the night."

Ke's mother had already turned around to prepare the food.

This time, Ke Meiyu didn't go with them. Instead, she sat against the wall with Wang Di, listening intently while sharing snacks.

With food available, Wang Di was unusually quiet, his large, beady eyes straining to stay open, occasionally tilting his head in confusion.

Gao Yanjun remained seated, feeling embarrassed, and pulled out a red job posting from his bag.

The brick factory in Huayuan Town is recruiting a total of 200 workers, only 60 of whom will be permanent employees; the rest will be temporary workers. The wages and benefits are clearly stated above.

Temporary workers receive almost no benefits other than free meals and accommodation, and their wages are 30% lower than those of permanent employees.

However, everyone knows that temporary workers do all the dirty and tiring work, while permanent workers do the more technical work.

"It just so happens that Comrade Qin will come with me to the brick factory tomorrow to explain the situation to the factory manager, see how skilled the young men in our village are, and then decide on the number of recruits."

Qin Yuanjiu agreed.

Ke's mother made hand-pulled noodles, with two kinds of soup, one meat and one vegetable, served with two small dishes of pickled vegetables.

As soon as the food was served, Wangdi Chu excitedly flapped its wings, its loud voice echoing throughout half the village, "Auntie, Auntie, the food smells good, the food smells good, the bird wants to eat!"

Everyone's ears were itching from the noise.

Mrs. Ke smiled and said, "You're something else. We can't do without our Yunbao'er."

Ke Meiyu was taken aback, turned her head and glared angrily at this beast in human form, and whispered, "Don't eat too much, we have limited food at home!"

Wangdi was very sensitive to people's emotions and would take advantage of their power. At this moment, it hummed and raised its head, replying softly, "I brought food with me, you know that. How much do I spend on food?"
