It was already August 1977, and we were about to start work arrangements for the new winter.

If nothing unexpected happens, the news about the college entrance examination will also be announced in October.

Her parents-in-law had already hinted to her over the phone.

At this time, we need to find someone who can take over the vegetable greenhouse.

She turned her gaze to the several educated military wives recruited behind her and Wang Hongmei.

That day, she called Wang Hongmei out:

"What do you think about being in charge of the greenhouse vegetables?"

Wang Hongmei opened her mouth in surprise and pointed at herself:

"Me? Then where are you going, Director Xu?"

"I have been in this position for a long time and I need to step down. I also have other things to do."

Wang Hongmei thought that Xu Niannian was indeed successful in everything he did, so maybe he did have some new ideas.

She felt that she could handle the opportunity that was presented to her:

"Yes, I can."

"Okay, let's see how far you can go in the next two months."

After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered that he had once advised her to study the textbook:

"If one day, you have the choice between going to college and this position, which one would you choose?"

Wang Hongmei was completely dumbfounded this time, and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly:

"I'll make you laugh. Last year you told me to learn more, so I did buy a lot of books. But every time I read for a while, my eyelids start to droop. I can recognize a few words, but I can't learn those advanced things."

"So if I had to choose between these two, I would definitely choose this position."

Xu Niannian nodded. Some people are indeed not suitable for studying. Maybe she has reached her limit in recognizing words.

"Come on, give it a try first."

In the past two months, Xu Niannian really delegated power and allowed Wang Hongmei to try boldly.

At first, Wang Hongmei was a little timid, but she was awakened by Xu Niannian's words:

"Last year, didn't I hand over almost all the greenhouse affairs to you? I only took you with me on the business. You just look at the contracts and the experience I had when I was with you, and just follow my instructions."

She suddenly understood and did her work smoothly.

At first, some people were not convinced. Everyone could see it, after all, Xu Niannian only came once every two days before.

Now I haven't seen him for four or five days.

It is intended to let Wang Hongmei take over this job.

Xu Niannian is young, but she was the one who provided the technology and was the one who facilitated the founding of the company, so they had no objection.

But Xu Hongmei came in with them, and some people felt unbalanced.

Why can Wang Hongmei take over but they can’t?

This is a public position. This is unfair.

I complained directly.

Speaking of which, this position is quite special, as the direct superior is Commander Jiang.

They did file a complaint, but they felt a little uneasy in their hearts. They didn't know if Commander Jiang would blame the men if he got angry.

But since they had been promised fairness and justice, they were no longer afraid when they thought of this.

Xu Niannian was studying hard when he was invited to the office by Chief Jiang's orderly.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Wang Hongmei standing aside, looking at her with some concern, and about ten greenhouse employees standing on the other side.

Those employees looked at her evasively and avoided her when she came towards them.

Just as I was thinking about something, Commander Jiang spoke:

"They said you abused your power for personal gain. Do you admit it?"

"Ah? Don't admit it. I'm always against the matter, not the person."

"Then take a look at this report letter first."

Xu Niannian took the letter from the leader and read it from beginning to end.

"I originally wanted to report this to you after I had examined Comrade Wang Hongmei's work, but now that someone has spoken out, I will also explain that I do want to give this position to Wang Hongmei."

After hearing these words, the eyes of those who had dodged just now suddenly became firmer.

A feeling of imbalance came over me.

"Then tell me the reason."

"First, Wang Hongmei has worked diligently in her position over the past few years. She is the hardest-working employee in the greenhouse. She can not only see the work in her hands, but also see a lot of hidden work. Others cannot do this."

"Second, Wang Hongmei has also signed a lot of contracts in the past two months. The data is a 30% increase compared to last year. This data is determined after evaluating the greenhouse production."

"Third, I chose her based on my reasonable arrangement of the greenhouse vegetable work. I am the founder of this plant, and it is like my child. I will never push it to an inappropriate person."

"I would like to ask how many of the others who are angry and indignant are really confident that they can do this job?"

"If you still think that what I did is not good enough, then you can take the test yourself and you will know your level."

The other military wives were stumped by this question. They really had no confidence and their heads went numb when they thought about signing contracts.

It turns out that Wang Hongmei can already do so many things?

I used to laugh at her for being divorced and wondering what the point was of devoting herself to greenhouse vegetables, but it seems that it does work.

After hearing this, Chief Jiang turned his head and looked at the others:

"If you have any opinions, you can raise them in person now. I don't want to see any reports of this kind after today."

The rest of the people dared not say a word.

Someone came out to smooth things over:

"We just didn't understand. Once Director Xu explained it, we understood."

"Since you have no objection, you can go. Xu Niannian and Wang Hongmei will stay."

Xu Niannian noticed that there was no Sister Li among those people, maybe they didn’t call everyone that.

Chief Jiang first said to Wang Hongmei:

"Since Director Xu trusts you, I hope you can do your job well after taking over, work hard to improve, and create a different greenhouse."

"Commander, I will try my best."

"That's good, but this department may not be assigned directly to me in the future. The first two years are enough. By then, your allowance and contact person will be re-assigned to you."

"good."

"If there's nothing else, I have something to discuss with Director Xu."

"Okay, I'll be leaving first, Chief."

There were only two of them left in the room. Chief Jiang glanced at her:

"Are there any new plans?"

He had long seen that Xu Niannian was not someone who would indulge in stability. Sometimes she really disdained the things that others envied and had to create some trouble for them.

"Yes, Chief, thank you for your support along the way. I really appreciate it."

"Okay, stop flattering me."

Then he took out a house deed from the drawer:

"This is the reward I owe you. It's an apartment in the capital."

He felt a little guilty when he said this. In comparison, Xu Niannian's contribution was much greater, but even this reward had been delayed for a long time.

Xu Niannian reached out and took it.

Although this house is not big, it has a good geographical location. That area is where every inch of land is worth a lot of money.
