"Just work hard for these two years. Look at the Head Flower Factory in our village, they say it makes good money, but the expenses are also high. They haven’t separated their household finances, so there’s not much money left in hand for anyone. If you stay in the village, every month our mother can keep an eye on you, and so can your husband. Can you guarantee your salary would remain untouched in the long run? Besides, the factory has just been established; who knows how long it will last. The textile factory is different; it’s been established for many years. Oh you, you’re not thinking clearly."
Shen ng was logical in her analysis, leaving Wu Xianglan stunned and filled with gratitude, as working in the textile factory was undoubtedly better than the Head Flower Factory in every aspect.
"Sister-in-law, you are too good to . I was just thinking about the higher wages without considering these things."
"High wages? Fifteen yuan a month, and you’d start as a temporary worker. Can that compare to the textile factory? You should stay earnestly in the textile factory, strive to get a permanent position swiftly so you’ll qualify for a house allocation. You’ve been at the factory for so long now; visit your colleagues’ hos sotis and see if they have nice houses. Once you get a house, you can register your two kids for residency in the city. Xiang Lan, you must weigh what’s more important."
Tears stread down Wu Xianglan’s face. The only person who thought so deeply for her was her elder sister-in-law. Her own husband was unreliable, not even having received his salary yet, but he had already ntioned money several tis. During the New Year, her two children received New Year’s gift money, and without her knowledge, Lu Jiahe had secretly taken 50 cents.
That scoundrel, he knew even the smallest financial details at ho. If she worked at the Head Flower Factory, her salary might just end up being taken by him and then given to that vile woman, Liu Suqin.
Yu Xueli was already numb to Shen ng frequently tricking Wu Xianglan. Now all her attention was fixated on her own stash of money, feeling paranoid that a thief was targeting it whenever there was a gust of wind, to the point of near nervous breakdown.
Shen ng arrived at the bus company quite early, placed the preordered head flowers on their desks, and even handed out a piece of chocolate to each person as a thank you for their support.
When work started, everyone was amazed by the beautiful head flowers and chocolates on their desks. Chocolates were a luxury, rarely bought to eat, let alone gifted. For such endearing gestures, everyone wanted to be friends with Shen ng.
Shen ng wasn’t exactly lying, at noon indeed she needed to make a trip to the Hu family. Li Qianqian had returned to the textile factory and was nearing the end of her postpartum period, now suddenly becoming the factory manager, she was incredibly nervous.
It was only upon seeing Shen ng that she felt a bit more at ease.
"Sister, you don’t know how anxious I’ve been. In just half a month’s ti, I went from being bullied at my husband’s family to finally returning to my own, where I found respite in this job. Before I even got started, I beca the factory manager. I’ve never held such a position before; I’m really unsure about it. Seeing you now really settles my heart."
"Behave confidently. When Lu Family Village’s Xiangyang Head Flower Factory holds its opening ribbon-cutting, you’ll even be uncovering the red cloth. Qianqian, you’re inherently capable. Don’t underestimate yourself, I believe in you."
Li Qianqian held Shen ng’s hand, nodding firmly. The support given by Shen ng was different from that of her family.
"Actually, I ca here also to ask for your help. Last year I just got my elentary school diploma, and I think learning never ends. I’m planning to attend middle school to further my education and aim to get my middle school diploma within a year before advancing to high school."
"Sister ng, you really have plans; I should really take inspiration from you. You truly are a role model for us won!"
Shen ng: "....."
Too much praise, too much praise, I just lived an extra lifeti than a normal person!!!
After work in the evening, Shen ng first went to find Kong Wenhui. Last ti she couldn’t participate in the trading due to so matters, and she still wanted to know about how the sales of products were, after the grocery factory received the grains and several pastry recipes, and also about the next trading ti, since the grains traded for the first ti were not much.
Kong Wenhui was dozing off when she saw her. After solving the big problems in the factory, she was much more relaxed. Seeing Shen ng carrying things inside, she felt even closer than seeing her own relatives.
"Goodness, Xiao ng, how did you co over, when did you co back?"
"Just got back. This is a gift I brought for you from Provincial City, Sister Kong, see if you like it?"
Kong Wenhui didn’t stand on ceremony, took over the bag and saw a coat, two boxes of chocolates, and sothing written with foreign letters, feeling like so kind of powder, anyway, all of them are precious things.
"You are too polite, Xiao ng, co sit down, I’ll pour you so water."
"No need to hurry, I have to rush back to the village soon, I just ca to tell Sister Kong that I have already paid the money for the last trade, they are very satisfied. I just want to ask how are the pastry recipes I provided being used in the factory, are the sales good?"
"Hey, how could it not be good? The factory is making a killing just with that spicy strip, you have no idea how well it sells. Our factory manager is also asking when we can trade the grains next ti, you only gave one spicy strip recipe that was flavored with five spices, the rest our factory manager also wants.... hehehe..."
Shen ng smiled and said, "Sister, it’s not that I’m being secretive, but Shenji’s workshops are almost built, and we also need so standout products, right? If the things produced by the workshop don’t sell well, I doubt the factory manager would want the workshop to be affiliated with the grocery factory, right?"
Kong Wenhui was sowhat embarrassed, she had received an extra thirty yuan in bonuses this month, Shihao was also studying automotives now, life was really looking up, all thanks to Shen ng’s help. Although she wanted to achieve more rits, it wasn’t good to lean too much on Shen ng alone.
"Yes, what you said is right."
"Sister Kong, the next trade can happen in three days, I see that the consumption in your factory, it will be about right in three days. Besides, next month the grain station will also deliver grains to you."
Kong Wenhui thought for a mont and felt the timing was about right, but now the factory manager looked only for the grains facilitated by Shen ng, those were the real fine grains, those from the grain station had to wait behind.
Shen ng left the grocery factory and headed straight to the county hospital, after seeing Shirley, she pulled out fifty yuan from her pocket and handed it to her.
"Take this money and put it in the bank book later, the next trade is in three days, rember the ti. This ti the volu is bigger, the commission is US$ 80, sa as this ti, after the trade is done and I’ve delivered the money, we’ll split the money again."
"Sss~ this, this money cos so fast, no wonder these people dare to take such a big risk."
Shen ng: ".....hehe."
