Feng Si didn’t feel deceived at all, only filled with joy. He had a warm and affectionate ti with Mingyang’s children for a while before he started thinking about discussing serious matters.
"Look at , I got so carried away chatting with the kids that I forgot about the real business. Yesterday, I specifically went around the Cooperative Societies at Xiangyang Commune and in the county, took two rounds, and sold out all 500 head flowers in one morning. The head flowers for children at ten cents each sold the fastest. Of course, they are the cheapest. The ones for adults at 20 and 30 cents each sold slower, but being novel items, the female comrades were rushing to get them. I even saw so male comrades wanting to buy them, probably for their partners. Squad leader, sister-in-law, this head flower business can be done!"
"Yes, Director is right, Hongfa and I have also been paying attention to this, we were actually quite nervous, but unexpectedly it turned out so popular, hahaha....."
Zhang Hongfa didn’t speak, but he was here today naturally for this matter as well.
Lu Zhenping looked at the three excited people and curled his lips, saying, "That’s good."
"Pretty good."
Feng Si: "..."
Zhang Hongfa: "..."
Lu Debang: "..."
That’s it, you two as a couple are too succinct, isn’t there anything else to say?
After Lu Zhenping sipped his tea, Shen ng also kept her head down and remained silent, and after the two of them finished speaking, they said no more.
Since the 500 head flowers had already been sold out yesterday morning, if they really cared about this matter, they should have co to their house yesterday afternoon. The fact that they only ca today indicates that sothing happened in between that the couple didn’t know about.
Seeing Feng Si looking a bit guilty, Shen ng guessed that he probably wanted to take all the credit for this matter. It wasn’t that complicated to make a head flower; just needed a few skilled won and so fabric scraps from the textile factory.
If it was small scale, it could still help so poor people, but if done on a larger scale, it could directly help his own career.
Feng Si had clearly already approached the textile factory and the Cooperative Society, and even asked soone to visit Mr. Li, but unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention. The textile factory only recognized Shen ng, and the director of the Cooperative Society that Mr. Li found had directly referred the head flower matter to Li Qianqian, who supported Shen ng, so nobody else’s involvent was useful.
Feng Si touched his nose and said sheepishly, "Squad leader, sister-in-law, our first batch of head flowers sold very well, we need to start planning the next steps, just not sure where to begin."
"Zhenping, Zhenping’s wife, Debang and I are also totally clueless about this, Director Guo oversees this matter, she went to the county for a eting today, so we ca with Director Feng. This initiative is led by you, you need to call the shots for what cos next!"
"That’s right, we don’t understand these matters, if you drop the ball, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort and happiness?"
Lu Zhenping did not respond, handing the water he had just tested as appropriately warm over to Shen ng.
"Drink it, it’s not hot."
"Okay."
The three leaders: "......"
What’s the ti for these clingy affections, did they hear us or not, did they REALLY hear us!!!
Feng Si beca anxious; he started to resent why he entertained the thought of starting sothing new. Seeing how close the couple appeared, luckily they were his team mbers, if they were outsiders, he wouldn’t have had any chance to redy the situation.
"Team leader, sister-in-law, I am sorry, I got carried away yesterday, my mind was muddled, I made a small mistake. Please don’t take it personally. I ca here today specifically to apologize. From now on, I will not interfere with this matter, sister-in-law can be fully in charge. As long as it benefits the commune, I don’t need the credit."
Shen ng sipped her water leisurely. This man claid to be apologizing, but he looked towards Lu Zhenping instead, clearly not taking her seriously. Without teaching him a lesson, he would never know his place.
"Why are you looking at ? The apology should be directed to your sister-in-law. I told you when I visited you last ti that this matter is led by your sister-in-law. I am the one who knows nothing and interferes with nothing. Apologizing to is a misdirected worship."
Lu Zhenping, seeing Feng Si’s expression, beca impatient; he knew this young man was cunning, which is why he had notified him beforehand, yet he still refused to change.
Shen ng, seeing Feng Si’s distressed face looking her way, waved her hands with a smile: "Hey, why should the director of the Commune’s Revolutionary Committee apologize to ? I’m just an ordinary citizen. It’s hard on everyone, isn’t it? Actually, the intention here is to help the village earn extra inco, to make life better for everyone. If our commune’s director isn’t interested, that’s fine as well. I’ve heard Red Star Commune’s Director Yang is very anable and respects the opinions of the workforce. Maybe I should discuss this floral business with him. After all, we are all from the sa county. Mr. Li and Director Hu wouldn’t mind."
She stood up as she spoke, and Feng Si hurriedly stood up too, slightly bending towards her.
"Don’t say that, sister-in-law. Looking across Ning County, no other commune director can compare to . Who else is as young, dynamic, and shrewd as I am? Director Yang Daquan of Red Star Commune is notoriously rigid. Sister-in-law, please don’t be mad. I was wrong, and I will rectify it. In the future, I’ll cooperate however I can. After all, the team leader and you are part of our commune, we can’t just not support our own commune and go help another, right?"
Feng Si was genuinely scared. It seed like Shen ng was truly capable of doing what she said. He regretted infinitely. He had thought that being a commune’s director, even the textile mill and Cooperative Society should give him so face, but he found the gatekeeper more arrogant than himself.
Had it not been for Zhang Hongfa and Lu Debang being there, he would probably have needed to call Shen ng ’Grandma’ to soothe her anger by any ans necessary.
Zhang Hongfa and Lu Debang stood up in confusion, watching the Revolutionary Committee Director humble himself before Shen ng, their hearts trembling alongside the scene.
What on earth is going on, what exactly is happening here, they hadn’t even had a chance to understand!!!
Shen ng sighed and said: "Director Feng, to make our Xiangyang Commune better, it requires the collective effort of all mbers. We’ve only taken one step forward and you’re thinking of going it alone, which is really inappropriate. A director handling these minor matters is truly a waste of your talents. Soone talented like you needs a broader stage to showcase your abilities—other communes’ Cooperative Societies, nearby towns, county seats, provincial cities, anywhere that can sell these floral ornants could be your battlefield. Director Feng, I am not angry, I am heartbroken that you have not truly shown your full potential."
