Married to a man in Northwest China, the delicate wife with a soft waist is spoiled rotten by the ro

Chapter 161: Backing off
"Director Wang is truly conscientious and responsible, starting with small things. It's no wonder that Qiping Commune has been number one every year. If we can't compete in production, we in Huaihua can only take a longer route to boost our economy."

Director Wang's expression suddenly changed.

Is Ji Sisi implying something?
Indeed, things can never go smoothly for everyone.

Ji Sisi thought that this was just a side thing anyway, and the most important work had already been done, so there was nothing to regret.

After leaving the printing factory, she bought ten more notebooks to take back with her.
-
When Ji Sisi returned to the factory, she found that Captain Wu and his men were building a wall or doing something near the factory.

She approached, "Captain Wu, what are you doing?"

Captain Wu turned around and saw that it was Ji Sisi who had returned.

"The dormitory is under renovation."

Director Wu is a man of few words, with a deep voice, and he rarely smiles.

Ji Sisi was taken aback. She didn't seem to have heard Director Yan mention anything about repairing the dormitory. Besides, with their current funds, repairing the dormitory would be too extravagant and wasteful.

"Is this Director Yan's intention?"

Captain Wu nodded and then shook his head, explaining, "I heard from Sister Sheng that you are pregnant. You live far away, and riding your bike back and forth every day is not good for the baby or for you, so I took it upon myself to apply to Director Yan."

"Comrade Ji, don't worry. Apart from the cement and gravel which cost money, everything else came from our own efforts. The money wasn't from the factory or the commune; it was raised by our fifth and sixth teams."

Ji Sisi didn't even have time to be moved. When she heard Captain Wu say that, she felt both helpless and touched.

"Captain Wu, thank you for considering my situation."

Ji Sisi readily agreed, as she did indeed need a place to rest during her lunch break and to ease her commute.

Now that Qi Yan is away on a business trip, there's not much difference between her being at home and here. When she sleeps alone, she always goes back to her space to sleep on the soft bed.

"Let's not talk about that. If there's nothing else, I'll continue watching them work. I have to go back and do other things after they're done."

Captain Wu is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and not good with words.

Ji Sisi also returned to the factory.

"Director Ji."

When Sister Yang saw Ji Sisi passing by their workshop, she quickly called out to her.

Ji Sisi stopped and corrected Sister Yang, "Sister Yang, I'm only in charge temporarily now, not the factory manager yet. You can just call me Sisi."

"Okay... Sisi, our factory has almost 80 pounds of goods left. Should we continue making more?"

"Go on, Xiao Hu should take 180 jin with him when he comes back today, but that's still not enough. Sister Yang, don't worry about not being able to sell them. Our beef jerky is really popular in the county right now."

Upon hearing that it weighed 180 jin (50 kg), Sister Yang was so frightened that she quickly nodded.

After Ji Sisi left, Sister Yang sat down, and Sister Sheng next to her shook her head helplessly, "I told you you were worrying for nothing. Sisi definitely has the ability to sell them."

"No wonder they're still hiring. I saw so much stock in the warehouse; I thought they were going to swap us out."

Sister Sheng was busy with her hands, saying, "This is both drying and steaming, and there are definitely not enough people for just a few of us."

Ji Sisi returned to her office and opened the door to find the three people from yesterday sitting inside, each as well-behaved as a kindergarten student.

As soon as she entered, they all stood up.

"Just call me Manager Ji for now. What trouble have you run into by coming to see me this time?"

The three of them sat down obediently.

Gao Shu was the first to speak, "We'd like to ask Manager Ji if this beef jerky can be sold back to our hometown?"

"Not yet."

"We don't know anyone here, we don't even know the roads. Could we go back to visit our relatives and bring back some goods to sell?"

This idea is good; Ji Sisi had also considered using their connections to expand into other markets.

But now is not the time. Ji Sisi shook her head and refused again, "No, this area is remote, and the transportation cost is too high."

"Even if I dare to deliver the goods to you, how can you guarantee that you won't be watched on the way, and that the goods will arrive safely in your hometown?"

Ji Sisi rubbed the paper in her hand. "What you need to do in sales is to be thick-skinned. The factory workers aren't like the sales clerks in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Now we're the ones begging others to stock our products, not the other way around."

"If you're not familiar with the way, you can ask. This job relies on your mouth and communication skills. If you can't even do this simplest thing, I don't need to give you any more time. I can tell you right now that you're unqualified. Let's not waste each other's time and money."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the door was pushed open, and Hu Zhibin returned with a bountiful harvest.

His face was beaming with a smug smile, which widened when he saw the three of them.

"Sister, I have exceeded the task you assigned."

"Two hundred pounds in one day?"

Hu Zhibin nodded, like a proud peacock, "Of course, I even exceeded my target."

"Really? How about we do it this way every month from now on?" Ji Sisi chimed in, starting to set a trap for him.

Hu Zhibin nodded, "Then there's definitely no problem."

“Okay, from now on, your minimum sales volume is 300 jin, which is 1,800 yuan. 1,800…” Ji Sisi paused for a moment, “Never mind, let’s round it up to 2,000.”

Hu Zhibin's smile gradually froze. Two thousand?
"Isn't this... a bit too much?"

Ji Sisi shook her head, "It's not much. You are so capable that you deserve two thousand. Two thousand is still too little."

"Okay, I'm sure I can do it."

Hu Zhibin was also confident that the three supply and marketing cooperatives were now hesitant to buy too much, and that the beef jerky would be snapped up as soon as it hit the market.

Ji Sisi then looked at the shocked trio on the other side.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now."

Gao Shu and Jiang Sirou looked at each other, while Jiang Dayong twisted his hands, appearing very uneasy about the situation.

"Manager Ji, I'm sorry, it's our problem. I'll go to the county tomorrow to try. Could you please give me a letter of introduction from Kaifeng?"

Gao Shu was the first one again.

Jiang Sirou bit her lip, making up her mind.

"Me too."

Jiang Dayong hesitated to agree, his conflicted expression showing on his face.

This person was clearly persuaded by the other two to come and keep them company.

"I can write a letter of introduction, but it must be from the bottom of my heart that I want this job. I don't approve of people who force themselves to do things they don't like just to do something out of a favor."

Jiang Dayong looked up and met Ji Sisi's gaze, then quickly looked down again.

Jiang Sirou touched Jiang Dayong's hand, "Dayong, do you still want to go home to see your parents?"

Jiang Dayong still couldn't get over his mental hurdle.

He exhaled. "Manager Ji, I'm sorry, I don't think I'm suitable for this job. I apologize for wasting your time."

After saying this, Jiang Dayong bowed and turned to leave.

Jiang Sirou and Gao Shu still wanted to win the person back.

“I know you mean well, but not forcing him to do things he doesn’t like is also for his own good.”

Ji Sisi lowered her head and wrote the letters of introduction. She quickly finished writing two pages and stamped them.

"Keep them." Ji Sisi handed the letter of introduction to the two men. "Xiao Hu, give them food coupons and travel expenses."

"okay."
