Chapter 145: 145 No doctor by my side (3am)So he couldn’t leave this place, but having not worked for many years, he didn’t know what to do if he went job hunting, and after much thought, he realized his best bet was to return to his old trade. After a day’s hard work, the factory produced about two hundred bottles. Duan Gongquan came early in the morning to pick up the goods, loading the two hundred-plus bottles onto the truck and requesting Su Xiaofeng to deliver a thousand bottles within a week. He also paid a thirty percent deposit in advance, with the remainder to be paid upon delivery. "Sure, we’ll definitely deliver on time in a week." Producing a thousand bottles in one week wasn’t a difficult task. Having received Su Xiaofeng’s affirmative response, Duan Gongquan drove away. "Everyone heard it, we need to deliver a thousand bottles in a week. The customer has given us a week, but in reality, we only have six days, since we need to leave a day for travel. This is our first big order, and we must all be spirited," she said, certain that she would be the one to deliver the goods. She intended to secure a deal with Lida Department Store as well. "President Su, don’t worry, we’ll make it even if we have to work overtime," Factory Manager Zhou immediately assured. "Good, you all prepare the preliminary work, and I’ll be responsible for the final process. Manager Zhou, coordinate with the glass factory, tell them we need to order ten thousand bottles and ask them for a quote." Before, when the quantities were small, she could only wholesale, but now that the quantities were larger, she needed to source directly from the factories. No sooner had Su Xiaofeng returned to her office than a young girl came in for an interview. The girl had two large braids, small eyes, dark skin, and an ordinary appearance. At first glance, there was nothing particularly noteworthy about her. Factory Manager Zhou led the girl into the office: "President Su, this girl heard that our factory was hiring and has come for an interview." "Okay, let her wait here for a bit. Manager Zhou, see if you can find a cargo truck, tell them we need it in six days, and negotiate the cost." She certainly had to leave in six days, so, naturally, everything had to be arranged in advance. "Yes, I’ll arrange it right now." After giving her instructions to Zhou, Xiaofeng turned to look at the visitor. The visitor had already recognized Su Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng?" "Keke." Su Xiaofeng was equally surprised. The visitor was none other than her high school classmate, Ding Keke. The two had been fairly close back in high school. "Xiaofeng, it really is you. I thought I recognized the wrong person," Keke said. She remembered Xiaofeng as being quite introverted, not very talkative in class, and even in the dormitory, there were very few who could chat with Xiaofeng. "I heard you got into college? Didn’t go?" There were only a few classmates who had gotten into college, so Xiaofeng remembered clearly that Keke had been accepted. Talking about college made Keke’s expression dim: "My family’s financial situation is poor, it was already good enough to get through high school, affording college was out of the question." Keke didn’t want to dwell on the topic, so she changed it: "Xiaofeng, does your family own this factory? I never heard you mention it before, I always thought you were from the countryside?" "After I finished high school, I was bored at home, so I thought about doing something. The factory was up for transfer, and I started this factory with my parents’ support just yesterday." There was one thing Su Xiaofeng didn’t understand: how the original owner, who was a high schooler, could be so easily influenced by Su Xiaotao. If it weren’t for Su Xiaotao telling her back then, implying that even if the original owner got into college, He Ximei wouldn’t let her go, maybe the original owner might have actually enrolled. In the end, it could only be said that the original owner lacked her own opinions and felt that He Ximei was solely interested in selling her off for money, which was why she found Su Xiaotao’s words so convincing. "I just happen to be in need of an assistant." Xiaofeng poured a cup of hot water for Keke: "Do you want to give it a try with me? Of course, it might be tough at the beginning." Keke held the cup firmly, her gaze determined: "As long as you’re willing to hire me, I’m certainly willing." "Of course, I can be quite ruthless when it comes to work." During her school days, her relationship with Keke was good, but only good, not especially close. Some acquaintances are only superficial, and neither had delved deeply into knowing the other. Keke laughed upon hearing this: "You can fire me at any time if I don’t work hard enough." "Alright then, first help me with the paperwork for the individual business license, see what documents we’re still missing." The factory previously produced dried plums and apricots, and the current production of food items was different; the previous licenses were invalid. "Yes, but I haven’t done this before, where should I go for this?" Keke was immediately ready to work. "Start with the business registration authority." Keke set off straight away with the necessary documents. "You aren’t going to ask about your salary?" Xiaofeng asked with amusement as Keke was about to leave. Keke stood tall: "Any salary is fine, you can even just provide meals." "The salary for the assistant position is 110 yuan to start. If you do well, we can increase it later." The factory was just starting up, so naturally, the wages couldn’t be too high. Keke just smiled and left with the documents. Just before noon, as the shift was about to end, Factory Manager Zhou brought in Ye Fei: "President Su, this is Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has a truck and says he can help us with the delivery in six days." Xiaofeng looked at the man, feeling he looked familiar: "Mr. Ye, have we met somewhere before?" "My brother runs a dumpling restaurant." Ye Fei reminded her kindly. When he mentioned the dumpling restaurant, Xiaofeng recalled: "Your brother’s cooking is not bad." "Right, both of us brothers are from the north, we’ve wandered to this place," Ye Fei maintained a polite smile on his face. In this era, finding a cargo truck wasn’t easy. Since someone was willing to take the job, they naturally sealed the deal. Sёarᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. —— "Grandfather." Ye Fei cautiously stood before Ye Cheng: "Miss Su is making a delivery to the Provincial City in six days." Ye Cheng was feeding a small creature inside a tiny box. Upon hearing Ye Fei, he squinted and said, "What do I care if she’s going to the Provincial City?" "Master." Lao Jian chimed in from the side: "This young scallywag Ye Fei has been wanting to find a girlfriend lately, I bet it’s because he finds Miss Su pretty...." A teacup flew directly at Lao Jian: "Lao Jian, don’t you slander me." Lao Jian was trying to get him killed. Lao Jian deftly blocked, causing the shattered teacup to stab into Ye Fei’s hand, which immediately started to bleed profusely. Ye Fei glared at Lao Jian, muttering resentfully, "You win, my hand’s injured, I can’t drive. Miss Su will definitely have to hire someone else to take her to the Provincial City." Lao Jian sighed as well: "Miss Su is so pretty and pregnant, if something happens on the road, without a doctor nearby—."
