Chapter 223 Your Xiangyang Commune's reputation is in bad shape

A workshop in a commune is admittedly inconspicuous, but if it develops well and smoothly in the future, it can be regarded as a small non-staple food factory in another sense!
If the leadership is good, it is possible to surpass the non-staple food factory.

Xiangyang Commune set up a hair flower workshop, which was selling well in the supply and marketing cooperative again and again. Even orders came in from the provincial capital. She knew about this, but she didn't expect that the person in charge would be Shen Meng.

After listening to Shen Meng's words, Kong Wenhui felt a surge of blood. If Cheng Ying was in charge of this matter, the child might have a good future in the future and would not have to work in the workshop all his life.

"Xiao Meng, wait here. I'll bring the food and spicy strips to the factory director for him to taste. If he thinks there's no problem with it, then everything will be easy to do."

After hearing what she said, Shen Meng smiled with a determined look on his face.

Things were going relatively smoothly here, but Lujia Village had become a mess. The branch secretary and Director Guo were unwilling to take charge, and only the village chief was still trying to calm everyone down. The village had finally made some money, and he became upset whenever he saw the workshop idle for a while. What's more, now that everyone had put down their work and started to make a fuss.

"What do you mean? What did that person mean just now? Why did he say that he would not send fabrics in the future? How can I make the hairpin without fabrics?"

"That's right. Today's fabrics are the last ones we have. Now they are all used up. If we can't get more fabrics, how are we going to make the subsequent head flowers? I don't know whether the order for head flowers from the provincial capital has come in or how much they will cost. If we fail to deliver the goods in time, the reputation of our Xiangyang Commune will be in jeopardy."

"Jinghao wasn't here today, so I'm not sure if the more complicated hair ornament is done properly. She didn't check it. If something goes wrong later, and my work becomes a defective product, I won't be able to explain myself."

"I used to think everything was going smoothly. Jiaojiao has only been in charge for two days, why do I feel it's so chaotic? Everything was going smoothly before."

There were actually quite a few people in the workshop who supported Shen Meng, but when the commotion broke out, they had already gone home after get off work. When they went to work the next day, they found out that the head of the workshop had been replaced.

Although they support Shen Meng in their hearts, they still have to make money first, after all, their families are waiting for food to be cooked. However, when it comes to speaking the truth, they are very eloquent.

"Oh, Shen Meng can't be in charge of this workshop. Jiaojiao has to be in charge. Jiaojiao knows people from the supply and marketing cooperative, and she also knows people from the textile factory. Jiaojiao is so capable. She can lead everyone to earn more wages in the future!"

"Of course, Shen Meng has no right to manage the Lujia Village workshop. After all, it has a bad reputation. It is not as good as Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is the one who can make the workshop bigger and stronger."

"It's still those sisters-in-law and Jiaojiao who are capable. They just replaced Shen Meng and then they took the field. You see, neither the secretary nor Director Guo can be the boss. From now on, Jiaojiao will have to make the decisions in the village."

"Keep your voice down. If you keep talking nonsense, I might kick you out of Lujia Village for saying such old things again." The words here were so sarcastic that the eyes of the old sisters-in-law who had just complained a little immediately turned red. It was obvious that he was laughing at them.

Zhou Jiaojiao also looked a little unhappy. The person who received the goods from the supply and marketing cooperative was obviously looking for trouble, but she couldn't get angry yet and controlled her temper while talking to him.

"Comrade, this headdress is the same as before, how could there be any quality problems? Our Xiangyang Commune's headdresses are well-known far and wide and are in great demand. No one has ever said this before."

"Who are you trying to fool? This is not the first time I'm here. See, these two have snagged threads, and these stitches are so crooked, but they still passed. Is the quality inspector not here? These would never have passed before. Now there are so many defective products in this basket. How can I accept them? If I accept them, I will be the one who gets scolded. I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Oh, no, I haven't seen you before. What's wrong with you, village chief? If the hair ornaments are of this quality, I will definitely not accept them. This will damage the reputation of our supply and marketing cooperative. Let's put these here today and you can check them. I won't report this matter to the leaders. You should think about it carefully!"

Lu Debang was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He was regretting it so much now. He wondered if it was because he was too easy to talk to that some people took advantage of him.

"Comrade, comrade, why don't you take another look? If these hair flowers are not accepted, wouldn't the women in our village have worked in vain? How about this, I'll find someone to quickly select the good ones, so as not to waste time, and let the person who was in charge of quality come over to take a look. If there is anything you think is not good, we can discuss it, okay?"

The person from the supply and marketing cooperative shook his head and said, "No, I have other things to do. I can't wait for you for so long in vain. In just a few days, so many problems have happened in your workshop. I just heard that the materials are gone. I advise you to think of a solution quickly. If I don't bring this stuff back, the town's commune won't get any money. If the goods are not ready tomorrow, your Xiangyang Commune will have a bad reputation."

The man said this and drove away, and Zhou Jiaojiao didn't even have a chance to try to stop him.

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, what does that guy mean? If he doesn't accept these thousands of hair flowers from us, then we have done it in vain. I have done so much, you have to pay me!"

"That's right. I got a small bump on my eye from all the sewing. It hurts every time I blink. I worked so hard to make this hair ornament, but they don't want it. Isn't that a waste of my time?"

"That's not what you said before, Jiaojiao. We agreed that each head would cost five cents. Five cents. Now that this has happened, what are we going to do? What are we going to do, Village Chief? Our workshop is not going to go bankrupt, is it?"

Lu Debang's face turned red with anger. He glanced at everyone and finally looked at Zhou Jiaojiao with a gloomy gaze.

"Zhou Jiaojiao, aren't you awesome? Now your wish has come true. You've become the manager of the workshop. Look at what the workshop has become in the past two days. The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't want our hair ornaments, and the textile factory doesn't send us cloth. That's how you manage things. I've told you long ago that you shouldn't take on this job if you don't have the skills. And you're a bunch of old ladies. Shen Meng didn't make a penny from you. She worked so hard to set up the workshop just to make more money for everyone's families. Now, humph, I don't care. You have your own ideas. You can do whatever you want. It's better to break up. No one should think about making money. Go to work and earn work points honestly. Don't cry to me if someone starves to death because of lack of food."

Lu Debang's words made Zhou Jiaojiao and the other people around him turn pale instantly. If they ignored all of them, then wouldn't their way of making money be gone in the future?

Facing the eager eyes of the crowd, Zhou Jiaojiao trembled a little, staggered back two steps, and for a moment she even wanted to run away.
