Chapter 170 Jiang Sirou's Resources
With the help of excavators, Huaihua Fifth Team now has a new road.

Although it was just a simple dirt road, it was cherished by the villagers.

After finishing their work, Captain Wu organized the villagers to go up the mountain to collect gravel to pave the road. More than a dozen herders shuttled back and forth, and by evening, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

"Manager Ji."

Captain Wu, holding the reins and wearing a heavy cotton coat, said, “The house is ready to live in, and all the daily necessities are provided. Don’t worry, everything was bought new from the supply and marketing cooperative.”

Ji Sisi looked up at the window and realized that it was already getting dark.

Captain Wu explained, "I see the office lights are still on. If you go back now, you won't be able to see the way, and it won't be safe."

"That's true. I'll go over there to rest tonight. Thank you, Captain Wu and the members of Team Five."

Captain Wu came specifically to deliver the keys. He placed the keys on the table and said, "There have been wolves active here recently, so you should go back and rest early."

"Wolf?" Ji Sisi took the keys and subconsciously thought of the little gray wolf she had adopted a few months ago.

It shouldn't be called Little Grey Wolf anymore; it should be called Big Grey Wolf.

"Okay, I'll go back after I finish taking care of the rest of these things." Ji Sisi agreed and took the keys.

Half an hour after Captain Wu left, before it got completely dark, Ji Sisi locked her office door and left the factory.

The room was fairly standard, about fifteen square meters, with a table and a bed, and the electrical wires came from the factory.

Ji Sisi locked the door and closed the windows before entering the space.

In the darkness, a wolf passed by Ji Sisi's house. It sniffed the air carefully and ran away when it heard a low growl from not far away.
-
I feel dawn.

Jiang Sirou and Gao Shu were waiting at the gate before the factory gates even opened.

"Gao Shu, I'll ask you one last time, is everything Manager Ji said true? If we complete the mission, can we really go back to visit our families whenever we want?"

Jiang Sirou simply couldn't contain her excitement.

At first, Sister Sheng said that she simply didn't want to work in the team doing manual labor and wanted to hide in the factory where she could have an easier time.

She never expected that this job would not only require her to run around and humbly beg people to do business, but also that there would be monthly performance reviews after she became a full-time employee.

One is physical exhaustion, and the other is mental exhaustion.

These past two days she's really been thinking about giving up. Anyway, the money and tickets her family sends every now and then are enough for her to live on. She can ask others to help her with things she doesn't want to do, and they'll give her some small favors.

Yesterday, when Jiang Sirou heard Gao Shu say that she could go back to the provincial capital to visit her relatives, she felt full of passion.

"It's not arbitrary. Manager Ji said that we need to register when we go out,"

Jiang Sirou wasn't interested in the promotion. "But didn't you say that you have to achieve great results to become a manager? If you want to do it, I'll introduce you to my uncle after we become full-time employees."

"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, Manager Ji is here."

Jiang Sirou lowered her voice, smiled, and greeted Ji Sisi, "Good morning, Manager Ji."

"Why are you all here so early? The factory doesn't prepare breakfast." Ji Sisi came over to open the door, unlocked it, and pushed it open.

"We've already eaten. Manager Ji, didn't you go home last night?"

Everyone knows that Ji Sisi is not a local and lives far away.

"I was too busy to go home, why did you come so early to see me?" Ji Sisi walked ahead of the two.

"By the way, Gao Shu, Manager Hu is back. If you have some free time today, could you please tidy up the empty room next to mine? That room will temporarily serve as your sales department."

Gao Shu was pleasantly surprised; he hadn't expected that he would still have an office.

Ji Sisi opened the office, went in, opened the window to let in some fresh air, and then came out again.

Jiang Sirou mustered her courage and said, "Manager Ji, can I discuss something with you?" "Go ahead," Ji Sisi replied, standing outside with them.

"Now that there's a road, can I go to the provincial capital to discuss business? I heard from Manager Hu that once the road is completed, we'll be cooperating with a transportation company, so will we be able to run to the provincial capital?"

"Sure, but it will cost you three yuan for the trip to the provincial capital. After that, you won't have much left."

Ji Sisi also knew that Jiang Sirou definitely wouldn't care.

"The provincial capital is possible, but the minimum delivery weight is 300 jin. Are you confident you can negotiate that much?"

There were only two days left until the time she gave us.

Jiang Sirou nodded confidently, "I can do it. My aunt works at the supply and marketing cooperative. She'll definitely agree to it."

Seeing Jiang Sirou's confidence, it's not hard to guess her aunt's position.

"Three hundred jin is indeed a bit much, but my relatives are all in the city, so it's not a difficult thing."

Worried that Ji Sisi wouldn't believe her, Jiang Sirou added.

Ji Sisi nodded, her eyes filled with undisguised shock. How did this young lady end up as an educated youth sent to the countryside?

Logically speaking, people from such families shouldn't need to go to the countryside; finding a job would be an easy task.

Ji Sisi didn't dwell on how Jiang Sirou came to be there; as long as Jiang Sirou could bring benefits to the factory, that was enough—a win-win situation.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

Jiang Sirou asked tentatively, incredulously, "Can I go home now?"

"What do you mean, go home? Didn't you go to discuss business?" Ji Sisi turned a blind eye.

Jiang Sirou nodded happily, "Yes, I'm going back to work."

Gao Shu was also happy for Jiang Sirou. In that case, it wouldn't be a problem for Xiaorou to become a full-fledged employee, and he wouldn't be the only educated youth in the food factory.

It's always good to have someone to keep you company.

The transportation company somehow got wind of it, and Section Chief Liu arrived with his men that afternoon.

Two vans drove into Team Five and stopped at the entrance of the food factory.

"Section Chief Liu, what brings you here? Didn't you say you were busy with your car all month?"

Ji Sisi heard the car turn off and rushed out of her office.

"You're lucky, there are two more cars available. You're pregnant, so don't bother. Anyway, I want to come down and see what your food factory is like."

Ji Sisi is almost four months pregnant, and her belly is slowly starting to show.

"Section Chief Liu, please have a seat inside."

Liu Qing took the contract into the room and saw four desks set up in one room. "Manager Ji, your conditions... are quite different from other factories."

She had seen state-owned factories that were just starting out, but none of them could compare to the Huaihua Food Factory in terms of shabby appearance.

"We're just starting out, so our conditions certainly can't compare to the big factories." Ji Sisi made tea. "By the way, Section Chief Liu, I wanted to ask how much the fuel cost is for a minivan to make a trip to the provincial capital?"

"Around ten yuan? What, you've expanded your business to the provincial capital?"

Section Chief Liu took the teacup, his tone surprised.

"Not yet, I was just asking casually."

Liu Qing smiled but remained silent. "Manager Ji, I have another purpose for coming today. I'd like to ask on behalf of a friend of mine. I heard you're trying to order ovens from the machinery factory through someone?"

"Correct."

“My older brother works at Hongxing Food Factory. I heard that they just bought a new oven last month and the old one is no longer needed. If you don’t mind, have you considered buying a used one as a temporary solution?”
