Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 457 There's no shortage of people

When will the branch factory start operation?
The people at the Preparatory Office for the Northern Capital couldn't wait to start production.

They are the ones who are most anxious.

This is indeed the case.

Old Min from the preparatory office is not going home for the Spring Festival. This is the preparatory office of the First Food Factory, which has just been established.

Although the document had been issued, he didn't feel that it was a done deal.

After all, many people were not optimistic about this small food factory run by the street office, let alone opening a branch factory in Beidu.

They thought it was all nonsense.

He is now the factory manager of Xiangyang Food Branch, and he just returned from a meeting in Jiangcheng.

He was originally the office director.

Logically, the branch factory director should be selected from among the three deputy factory directors.

Before going to Jiangcheng for the meeting, I had heard that Xiangyang brand instant noodles were selling like hotcakes, but in fact, their First Food Factory is the largest factory in the country. Jiangcheng can't compare to it in terms of age, scale, or number of employees.

So after returning from the trade fair, Deputy Factory Director Wei and the head of the sales department gave a detailed account of the popularity of Xiangyang brand instant noodles and the orders they had received at the debriefing meeting.

They even acknowledged that this food is irreplaceable by many pastries.

However, Xiangyang brand instant noodles are not sold in the country.

It was nowhere to be found in department stores and grocery stores.

Therefore, many people do not know this.

There were reasons behind setting up a branch factory in Beidu.

This branch factory is not under the management of the First Food Factory.

It belongs to the Jiangcheng General Factory.

In other words, besides the factory director, he also had a superior named Lu Qiaoge.

As deputy directors of the First Food Factory, they had the opportunity to advance their careers.

Even if he doesn't become the factory manager of the food factory, he can still get promoted to a higher level if he goes to another factory.

Not to mention that this branch factory is not very large now, with only a few hundred employees.

Moreover, it is under the management of a food factory owned by a street office in a city in Northeast China.

Apart from Deputy Factory Director Wei, the other deputy factory directors could not accept it.

Although Deputy Factory Director Wei felt uncomfortable being managed by Lu Qiaoge, a young woman, he still wanted to give it a try.

However, his wife absolutely refused to agree.

She told him that the director of the Third Food Factory in Beidu would be retiring early next year due to health reasons, a piece of news she had finally managed to obtain.

If he missed it, it would be too difficult to find such an opportunity again, so Deputy Factory Director Wei gave up.

I thought this branch factory would be highly sought after, but it turned out like this...

It seems to be disliked simply because it's located in Jiangcheng.

Finally, the factory director appointed Lao Min, the office director, as the director of the Xiangyang Food Factory branch.

New things are always met with skepticism at first.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"come in."

Why are you knocking on the door of a temporary office?

The person who came in was Lao Chu from the branch factory's recruitment office.

"Factory manager, most of the skilled workers and master chefs you recommended to the food factory are not willing to be transferred to the branch factory. What should we do?"

Old Min was prepared for this after several deputy factory directors refused.

He said, "Aren't there many educated youth returning to the city now? We should openly recruit workers and select the best candidates."

This isn't like when the country was first established; frankly, there were plenty of people back then.

He would have found it somewhat difficult in the past.

But after arriving in Jiangcheng, he learned that Xiangyang Food Factory was started by Lu Qiaoge and a group of educated youth who had returned to the city and unemployed youth.

Anyone from Jiangcheng can do it.

Why can't the people of Beidu do it?

"If they don't want to come, they don't have to. Once our branch factory is doing well, we won't accept them even if they want to come. Understand?" "I understand, Factory Manager."

Old Chu readily agreed.

But deep down, they knew that the older workers looked down on this branch factory of Guijiang Urban Management.

that's true.

In many people's eyes, Jiangcheng is a remote frontier.

In ancient times, those places were all considered places of exile.

With the Spring Festival approaching, the Beidu No. 1 Food Factory has gradually closed for the holidays, but many workers are still on duty.

"Hey, have you heard? The branch factory is planning to transfer three hundred skilled workers. Guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

Only a dozen or so people agreed to be transferred there.

"That's good. I thought I was the only one who disagreed."

“I disagree too. Who would go to that branch factory? It would be fine if it were a branch factory owned by our own Beidu. But it’s a branch factory run by the Jiangcheng Subdistrict Office. What would it look like if we were transferred there? A large collective?”

"Yes, I was a regular employee at a state-owned factory with tens of thousands of employees, and I was transferred to a branch factory, but my salary and benefits are still tied to those in Jiangcheng. They say the benefits are pretty good. How could they be better than what we have in Beidu?"

Do you know who those people were?

“I know one of them is Sister Gu.”

The female worker curled her lip: "Oh, it's her. She can't stay at the factory anymore, so she has to move."

"She was reported for stealing eggs, but she stubbornly denied it. I didn't expect her to still be on the transfer list; who knows what's going on here?"

"You didn't know, did you? Sister Gu and Lao Min are classmates."

"Oh, I see. No wonder you were reported but nothing happened."

The older woman registering the eggs couldn't help but say, "You two, shut up! The matter with Sister Gu has already been clarified in a meeting. Without evidence that she stole public eggs, you can't easily convict her. What you two are doing is spreading rumors, you know that?"

The two women exchanged a glance and then fell silent.

But in my heart I was refuting it at the same time.

There is no evidence that Sister Gu stole the public's eggs, but there is also no evidence that she did not steal the public's eggs.

Isn't it just because he's an old classmate of Lao Min?
At this time, Sister Gu had already gone to the Xiangyang branch factory preparatory office.

Seeing that Lao Min and Lao Chu were both there, he asked them, "How can I help?"

When Old Chu saw her arrive, he said happily, "That's great! I need to revise the recruitment standards this time, and you're here to help me."

Sister Gu is a true all-rounder, not only excelling in her professional work but also in other areas.

Sister Gu nodded.

My gloomy mood has improved a lot.

The First Food Factory recently launched a new type of pastry.

The best-selling items are those sold before the Spring Festival.

The factory gave a generous reward to Jia Hui, an employee who developed a new pastry.

But she was the one who developed this pastry.

After successfully making it that night, she was so excited that she told her best friend Jia Hui, who also worked the night shift, about her new idea.

The next day, Jia Hui took the prescription directly to the factory...

She angrily went to confront the woman, only to be falsely accused of stealing eggs from her workplace.

At that time, only she and Jia Hui were in the workshop.

Making food requires hands-on experience.

She simply wrote down the final, perfect recipe on a piece of paper.

But the paper was stolen.

Then it became Jia Hui's.

Unable to provide any evidence, she could only accept her bad luck.

Her husband and mother-in-law both scolded her for being stupid, saying she should just give the job to her brother-in-law.

She has two daughters, why should she give them to her brother-in-law?
But now she can't work with Jia Hui anymore. The other party is acting with impunity, and her colleagues have all changed their attitudes. Many people think she stole the eggs.
