215 If anyone were to be the family member of Mr. Fu, it would be a disaster for the rest of his life.
Xiao Lu escorted the people to the factory gate and immediately handed his transfer application to Su Taotao:
"Sister, this is my transfer application. Remember to hand it in to Engineer Fu as soon as you get it approved. I will work with you from now on!"
Su Taotao opened it and took a quick look, then closed it again and looked at Xiao Lu: "I didn't expect that Comrade Xiao Lu has good handwriting and writing skills. It's a pity that he has to be my assistant."
Xiao Lu's handwriting is naturally not as good as hers and Xia Zhiqiu's who have practiced it specially, but it is indeed good among ordinary people.
The writing is concise, the wording is accurate, and there is not a lot of frills, which is in stark contrast to his current personal style.
Xiao Lu patted his head and said: "It's all because of Master Fu. My handwriting was so ugly before. My mother said that even a dog's crawling is prettier than mine.
Later, I followed Master Fu and was forced to practice calligraphy for a long time. My writing style may have been forced out at that time."
As Xiao Lu was talking, he began to float again:
"Sister, why do you like Master Fu? Do you know how scary Master Fu is?
When I first followed him, I occasionally had to help him record things. I don’t know if it was because my handwriting was so ugly that it offended him.
At first he asked me to write a 2,000-word diary. It couldn’t be copied from books, it had to be true stories and my own descriptions!
At that time, I wrote about the hen laying eggs at home and the process of my mother making tomato egg soup, the falling leaves of the tree at the door and the fight between two children under the tree, and the sunrise in the east and the sunset in the west...
I just managed to write 2,000 words until my head felt like it was going to explode!
Then he corrected all the spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, and even punctuation marks for me!
They also asked me to repeat the content every day using different printed fonts and different expressions, but the number of words each day had to be reduced by 200 from the previous day’s base number, and the content could not change!
Every day's handwriting must be neater than yesterday's!
The key is that he actually checks it every day and gives comments! Can you believe it? "
Xiao Lu spoke with great excitement and saliva flying around, without even taking a breath.
Su Taotao thought about it and realized that this was indeed done by her engineer Fu, and she felt sorry for Xiao Lu in her heart.
Xiao Lu sighed:
"Then every other week, Master Fu would ask me to write a new diary, and repeat this process. After about two or three months, Master Fu might have finally found my handwriting and writing style to be acceptable enough to his liking, so he was willing to let me go!"
When Xiao Lu recalled the days when he first followed Fu Zhengtu, his eyes showed helplessness and admiration, but in fact, it was mostly gratitude. It was so complicated.
"Sister Su, don't tell me, my handwriting and writing style were trained by Master Fu. I learned more from him in those few months than I did in all the years I spent in school."
Su Taotao didn't interrupt and listened to Xiao Lu quietly.
Fu Zhengtu is not a person who is good at communicating or reminiscing about the past, so you can't hear these things from him.
“Having said that, although I have been following Master Fu for a few months and feel that I have aged several years, I am really grateful to him. Seriously speaking, he can be considered my teacher.
When Engineer Fu gets ruthless at work, he really doesn't take himself seriously. I followed him on field trips, and he once stayed outdoors for days and nights without sleep to measure data. His eyes were so red that it looked like he had conjunctivitis."
Su Taotao: “…” What kind of description is this?
Xiao Lu was still nagging: "Fortunately, the base is now fixed. At that time, I was still thinking from time to time that if anyone became the family of Engineer Fu in the future, it would be really unlucky for eight lifetimes. I never thought that he would marry someone like you..."
Isn't Xiao Lu just floating? He is simply trying to fly to the sky!
Su Taotao half-closed her eyes and stared at him dangerously.
Xiao Lu took two steps away and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "That's not what I meant, Sister Su. I meant that your style is really suitable for Engineer Fu, and you are also a ruthless person... Ugh! Look at my mouth. No, Sister Su, that's not what I meant..."
Su Taotao really wanted to kick him.
"Get lost! If you say one more word, I'll throw you back to Fu Zhengtu for further practice."
Xiao Lu shook his head like a rattle:
"No, no, no, although I admire Master Fu, the sun and the moon can testify to this, and the heaven and earth can bear witness to this, right now I only have my heart set on Sister Su!
I have something to do in the cafeteria, so I'll go get busy first. Don't forget my transfer application."
After saying this, Xiao Lu ran away.
Fu Yuanhang was stunned by these words.
Su Taotao really admires this little Lu.
Fu Zhengtu asked him to write abbreviations every day. Didn't that cure his nonsense? Why did he get sick again when he was in front of her?
Su Taotao patted Fu Yuanhang's head gently: "Stop looking, let's go."
Su Taotao took Fu Yuanhang back to the factory and let him continue painting in her office.
She went to the conference room to find Aunt Zhong and Xia Zhiqiu to discuss further recruiting.
Su Taotao briefly talked about the order she brought back from the capital and the "business" she had just completed.
"With our current human and material resources, we are unable to complete the existing orders, so recruiting people to expand production is urgent."
Su Taotao pinched her painful temple and said, "There are only so many workers in our family district. The reason why we required them to be particularly strict the first time was to cultivate the backbone of the production workshop.
Now that these backbones have grown up, most of them can be promoted to team leaders to lead new recruits.
Therefore, the second time we recruit people, we can lower the standards a bit, as long as they don’t have any major problems with their character and personal hygiene.”
Aunt Zhong nodded and said, "After observing for some time, I found that the people we recruited for the first time are indeed very good."
Xia Zhiqiu also said: "Yes, I feel the same way. Any one of these workers can become an independent team leader."
Su Taotao nodded: "Okay, let Aunt Zhong be in charge of recruiting people. In fact, the original intention of setting up the factory was to solve the employment problem of family members. So Aunt Zhong, even if it is a little more difficult to manage than it is now, as long as the people don't have any big problems, we will give them a chance."
Aunt Zhong nodded: "I know, these people can start as apprentices, with a lower salary, and when they catch up, they can be paid the same as regular employees."
Su Taotao nodded: "This is a good idea, you can do whatever you want."
"Zhiqiu will first calculate the production cost and labor cost based on the total number of existing orders and give me a budget. I will see how many orders we can take and then give them a reply.
I am feeling uncertain and I have not yet dared to sign a contract with them."
Xia Zhiqiu nodded: "Okay, I'll figure it out as soon as possible."
Su Taotao added: "The start-up funds for the first phase of the base have been almost used up. Have we received payment for the first batch of products?"
Xia Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, the money in the account is enough to pay the wages at the end of the month, but it will be expensive if we need to recruit more people and expand production."
Su Taotao said: "It doesn't matter. When the contract is confirmed, I will collect the deposit first. The packaging factory will barter goods and will not occupy any funds.
As for the sugar factory, we only import as much as we need and do not need to stock up a lot. If this is still not enough, we will consider applying for funding.”
Su Taotao had a headache. She also wanted to accomplish it in one go, but the current labor force in the family district was here, and even if all of them were hired, the production capacity would only be so limited. She still needed to build a factory in the town.
There are orders from outside, and such a huge market is waiting for her, but with such little money at the moment, she still has to take one step at a time.
"By the way, I have applied to transfer Xiao Lu over to be my assistant.
Zhiqiu put this on the agenda, and when Xiaolu officially joins the company, you can guide him."
"Okay, I'll remember it." Xia Zhiqiu's shorthand ability was amazing, and he wrote it down with just a few strokes.
Su Taotao looked at the watch. It was almost time to pick up the kids from school. She hadn't bought any food yet. Never mind. Fu Zhengtu had to work overtime anyway. Let's eat in the cafeteria tonight. It had been a busy day.
