Chapter 224: So Many Devious Ideas
The villagers' complaints are getting louder and louder. They are really scared now. They thought the supply and marketing cooperative would sell the hairpins as well as before, but they didn't expect that they would just refuse them.
There is also the textile factory. Isn't it said that Jiaojiao is very familiar with the textile factory? How come they don't even give them cloth now? How can they make hair ornaments without materials? If they can't make hair ornaments, they will lose the labor fee. In the past, they could earn several cents a day making hair ornaments, but now because of the time wasted, they feel that a lot of money is slipping away from them.
"Jiaojiao, what's going on here? Come up with an idea quickly!"
"How much money will you lose in this afternoon? Jiaojiao, you need to resolve this matter quickly. We are all offended because of you!"
"What's going on now? Didn't you say that Jiaxuan was highly valued by the director of the commune? Didn't you know the family of the director of the textile factory? Didn't you say that the supply and marketing cooperative only needed to see that the goods were good? What's going on now? Not only have the village cadres resigned, but the people above them have also stopped caring about the matter."
Zhou Jiaojiao didn't expect something like this to happen. She and Lu Jiaxuan had agreed that she would just get the job of workshop manager and wait for the workshop to become bigger and stronger, which would be very helpful to his career in the future.
But now, the village cadres have left her alone. What is this? It is clearly irresponsible behavior. What is the difference between her or Shen Meng in charge of the workshop?
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'll go find Jiaxuan at the commune and Director Li at the textile factory. She's the one in charge of the fabrics in our workshop. She must not know about this, so the people below are so bold. Don't worry, I'll go right away, right away."
"Hey, Jiaojiao, wait a moment, we'll go with you, where are you going with your big belly?"
"I'm going too. I'm going too. Jiaojiao is running around for our business. We have to go together."
"The village chief and his gang are really biased. Seeing that the person in charge of the workshop is not Shen Meng anymore, they don't care about anything anymore. They have no sense of responsibility or accountability at all. When I get to the county, I will definitely report them and let the leaders above hold them accountable. Humph!"
Not all the people in the workshop followed Zhou Jiaojiao. Some of them put their things away and just left. It happened that everyone in their family had gone to work, so they could take this opportunity to go home and get some sleep, or use the money they earned during this period to secretly buy their children something delicious and hide it away.
They all saw clearly today that the ones who followed Zhou Jiaojiao were the ones who made the most trouble for Shen Meng that day. No one checked their work, and the flowers were getting snagged, the stitches were crooked, and many of them even hid scraps of cloth in their pockets.
The comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that today's products were substandard. If they were taken away, the reputation of their Xiangyang Commune would be really ruined!
"What are you standing there for? If the eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law of the Lu family were to fight, we would be the ones to suffer. Ha~!"
"You can't say that. Everyone has seen what Shen Meng does. It's fair and just. I heard that she even secured a big order from the provincial capital a few days ago. This was told by the son of the director of the textile factory when Director Guo went to a meeting. Shen Meng didn't take a penny. Her husband is a soldier, so she is naturally conscious. Besides, Lu Zhenping is at home. If Shen Meng really wants benefits, will he agree?"
"That's the truth, isn't it? Shen Meng didn't offend anyone. Director Guo said that when Shen Meng used her connections to set up this workshop, it was because she saw that Dayaniang and Lianhua were having a hard time, so she was asked to find sisters-in-law and girls who were being mistreated in the village, hoping that everyone could stand up on their own feet."
"That's right. Look at the people in our house. That one is living happily in her husband's house. That girl is valued by her parents. These days in the workshop, I feel like a person." "It's all Zhou Jiaojiao's fault. If Shen Meng doesn't dare to do this in the future and the village cadres really quit, our good days will be over."
"Jealousy, it's all jealousy. Zhou Jiaojiao used to be jealous of the big house that Shen Meng lived in, and she even tried to get the old witch to take it away. Now, she's even taking the workshop manager away. Sisters, we can't really let her do this, otherwise we won't have a good life in the future."
The whole village was excited for a while, but Shen Meng's side was peaceful.
Lv Wenhua, director of the non-staple food factory, personally received Shen Meng and praised the cakes and spicy strips she brought. He kept lowering the price of grain, but did not mention the idea of setting up a workshop in Xiangyang Commune.
"We are not doing a one-time business. As long as the grain there is good, the price is negotiable. But the price per kilogram is higher than that on the black market. Our factory can't afford it, and it's even harder for others. Ordinary people have no money and no tickets. In two months, the weather will gradually get hotter. If we don't sell so much grain, I'm afraid it will be stuck in our hands, which would be a waste!"
"Director, I have said these things to them, but they won't give in. There is nothing I can do. Besides, I have a job and a child now, and my life is stable. If I hadn't seen how embarrassed Sister Kong was, I wouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. It's not worth it, right?"
Lu Wenhua frowned for a moment, then continued, "I heard that the hair flower workshop in Xiangyang Commune is doing very well. Director Kong said it was all your credit. You had to convince a lot of people, especially the one with the bad temper. It must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
Shen Meng smiled and said, "No, no, Director Hu is a very kind person. When he heard that this was for the benefit of our commune members, he immediately made the decision without any hesitation."
Lv Wenhua: “.”
If I didn’t know him, I might have really believed your lies!!!
"Very good, very good. So, it's not impossible for our non-staple food factory to set up a workshop in Xiangyang Commune, but we have to see the results. Well, let's take the spicy strips for example. If the spicy strips you make sell well, I can consider it."
"Hey, just wait and see, it will definitely be okay. Oh, by the way, there is a worker I know in our non-staple food factory, her name is Cheng Ying, she can supervise this matter after get off work, what do you think?"
Lu Wenhua nodded. It was not important to have someone supervise this matter. The most important thing was to buy the food first, especially the cheap food.
"Okay, Director Lu, let's write a document first. You have to stamp it with your seal to indicate your intention to open a food line in our Xiangyang Commune. This way I can report to our commune director."
Lv Wenhua: “.”
Country women are really cunning and cunning, how can he deceive people!!!
