Director Chen was mixed with joy and worry. Director Yu's words were like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey pulling a millstone. You can see it but you can't eat it.
He smiled bitterly, "Director Yu, you're even more calculating than Section Chief Song at the other bank. We can't negotiate the terms you've set."
Comrade Jiang Shiyue is indeed amazing! She is beautiful and smart. It’s a pity that she is not from our factory.
Director Yu exclaimed, "Huh?" with a look of disbelief. "Aren't the workers in your factory working so hard to sell you clothes? I've asked around, and they say the idea for these work clothes and this fashion show are all thanks to Comrade Jiang Shiyue."
Director Chen smiled bitterly, "I actually hope she's from our factory. But if she really is from our factory, I definitely won't loan her out unless you buy our factory."
Director Chen shook his head with a look of regret. "Earlier, I asked fellow volunteer Jiang Shiyue if she wanted to come to our factory, and she said no. Oh, yes, she has the college entrance exam tomorrow."
Director Yu: “…”
Others at the table: "..."
"She's not studying at home for the college entrance exam tomorrow and is coming to your factory to sell clothes? How grateful is your factory to her? Why would she work so hard for you?" Director Yu was very surprised.
Director Chen was honest but not stupid. He saw through Director Yu's thoughts at a glance. "You don't have to try to trick me. She doesn't owe our factory any money or any favors. She's willing to help me because she has some personal connection with me. But even if you know that, you can't poach her."
Director Yu wasn't upset when his secret was exposed. Seeing Director Chen's confidence, he asked him, "Why? Compared to your garment factory, jobs at our department store are incredibly popular. So many people are vying for a spot!"
"Yes, your department store is protected from the wind and rain, and it's clean behind the counter. It's warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and there are good benefits during the holidays. It's indeed a good job that young girls dream of. But Comrade Jiang Shiyue will definitely not like it."
Director Yu's curiosity reached its peak. "Why?"
Director Chen shook his head. "I don't know how to put it. Anyway, based on what I've known about her so far, she won't go to your department store. It's just... well, she doesn't like the job we can offer her."
"Don't like it?" Section Chief Song, who was listening to their conversation, was so surprised that he couldn't help but interrupt, "Even the sales clerks in the department store don't like it?"
His niece kept pestering him, saying she wanted to work at a department store because they offered employee discounts on clothes, cream, and other items. They also often gave him some nearly expired food and supplies to take home.
Director Chen actually said that Jiang Shiyue looked down on him?
The little girl is smart in her actions and words, but aren't her eyes a little on top of her head?!
Director Chen waved his hands hurriedly, "Don't get me wrong! It's not that Comrade Jiang Shiyue is arrogant, nor does it mean that she looks down on our work. How should I put it? It's like... it's like Comrade Jiang Shiyue is capable of great things. Whether she's working as a salesperson in our factory or as a salesperson in a department store, it's all overshadowing her... I don't know how else to put it. You'll understand after you interact with her a few times."
Director Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he sighed, "I think I understand what you mean. What a pity!"
In fact, he didn't want Jiang Shiyue to be a salesperson, but wanted her to be the counter manager. Of course, in order to convince the public, she must work as a salesperson for a period of time.
Unexpectedly, Director Chen directly refused.
Of course, he didn't care whether Director Chen refused or not, mainly because he himself could feel that Jiang Shiyue was not an ordinary person.
Director Chen's description was indeed not accurate enough. At least in Director Yu's opinion, it was not that Jiang Shiyue looked down on the work they provided, but that even the positions they were sitting in now were not enough for Jiang Shiyue to display his talents.
What Director Yu is most proud of is his eyes that can see through people accurately.
Otherwise, he is not someone who can be easily fooled and is willing to help the garment factory build the platform.
Director Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'm just saying you can't poach her, not that there's no possibility of cooperation between you two."
Director Yu's eyes suddenly lit up again. "What do you mean? Tell me more."
"Comrade Jiang Shiyue seems to be short of money. When I met her, she was selling second-hand clothes. She helped our factory just for a commission..."

Jiang Shiyue gave Guo Qingyuan a few more instructions and arrived at the Aiguo Hotel a few steps late.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by the hotel manager.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, let's discuss something. Can you lend us the recipe for your ice porridge? It won't be in vain. We will waive all your bills today!" The hotel manager had tasted the ice porridge himself and heard everyone's rave reviews about it, so he thought of selling it in his own store.
When Jiang Shiyue's ice porridge was served, it was served with all the ingredients.
Jiang Shiyue smiled and refused, "Sorry, treating is the factory's responsibility. But the ice porridge is made by me personally."
The hotel manager's job is to welcome and see off guests, so he is very polite. "Name your price."
Jiang Shiyue raised three fingers.
The hotel manager figured it couldn't be thirty yuan, so he tried to test it out: "Three hundred yuan?"
Jiang Shiyue nodded.
"Isn't it a bit expensive?" The restaurant manager frowned. It's just ice cubes and some random snacks. How much profit can there be?
Treating these people to a meal only cost one or two hundred yuan, but Jiang Shiyue asked for three hundred yuan.
"It's already quite cheap!" Jiang Shiyue shook her head and refused to bargain. "First, the cost of making ice porridge is very low. Even if you sell it for ten cents a bowl, you'll still make a profit. If you set up a stall here, I guarantee you'll have good business. Besides, customers might even work up an appetite after eating the ice and come back to the restaurant. It's only three hundred yuan, is it expensive?"
The hotel manager weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then gritted his teeth and made the final decision, "Deal."
Jiang Shiyue smiled and said, "There's one more condition. I don't need you to pay for it, but I can give you a discount. Also, can you buy the work clothes I let you try on? That counts as my bonus."
The restaurant manager immediately frowned, "Little aunt, since there are so many of you dining here, we've already confiscated your food coupons. If we give you any more discounts, you'll lose a lot! However, you can buy work clothes."
Jiang Shiyue thought that it would cost a lot of money to feed so many people without food coupons, so she nodded and said, "Deal."
The restaurant manager took Jiang Shiyue to the cashier, and he gave Jiang Shiyue two hundred yuan. Jiang Shiyue wrote a recipe for him on the spot.
I learned how to make ice porridge online in my previous life, and it doesn’t require any technical skills.
That is to say, nowadays, when people honestly ask her for the recipe, they get something that is not authentic but directly pirated.
Just follow the instructions. Jiang Shiyue’s ice porridge doesn’t have any secret recipe, and the side dishes are all common foods.
Sell it for 300 and you’ll make 300 profit.
Jiang Shiyue put the money in her pocket and then went to see Director Chen with a bowl of ice porridge.
Just happened to hear her name.
"Director Chen, I'll be gone for a while and you're already plotting against me!"
Director Chen knew she was joking, but he didn't get angry. "How dare I? Director Yu wants to recruit you to the department store, and I'm praising you."
