Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Who Gets the Job
“Nowadays, when we hear what our daughter says, we are also very serious,” “Yes, we must find a reliable person for this.”
Director Sun wanted to do Xu Ying a favor and hesitated, “Then who do you think is the most suitable?”
Xu Ying chuckled and shamelessly said, “I think Xu Jing from our village is very suitable. She finished junior high and attended high school for more than a year, but dropped out because my elder brother had an accident and we needed money at home.
Her mathematics is quite good, and she is resilient and hardworking, utterly suitable. But having only a statistician isn’t enough; we also need a procurement officer. One definitely won’t be enough, and also someone to drive the ox cart to carry and deliver goods.
There are several restaurants in total, and they need quite a lot of vegetables, which we need to supply on time.
We need to deliver early in the afternoon, and Brother Xiao Zhang’s restaurant chain in the county manages a total of ten places.
...
Each village should prepare a procurement statistician, two quality inspectors, and a delivery person.
Then, a chief statistician checks if the quality of the vegetables is up to standard, to prevent some people from other villages from cutting corners because they’re too embarrassed to face reality.”
“Right, right, right, quality is very important in this aspect.
Yingying, you seem very capable. I’ll leave this matter for you to handle.” Director Sun was somewhat overwhelmed and simply pushed the responsibility onto Xu Ying.
Xu Ying declined, “Director Sun, why not let my father handle it? He’s more familiar with this matter, and I’m too busy with work to spare any time for this.”
After listening, Director Sun thought it was a good idea and thus entrusted the important task to Mr. Xu, and there would be a pay increase as compensation.
As for the statisticians, quality inspectors, and delivery personnel, they would all receive a certain reward.
Mr. Xu immediately assured, “I guarantee I will accomplish the task.”
So, he happily rode back home and once home, he started giving orders to Mrs. Xu, “Wife, buy me a bottle of white wine and see if you can get a fish; let’s have a good meal tonight.”
“Why, did you get a raise, craving like this?” Mrs. Xu curiously asked.
Her man had always been thrifty all his life; it was always she who suggested having good food at home when conditions improved. This was the first time she had heard her husband say such things.
“Isn’t it? I got a raise because I rode on our daughter’s coattails, and there’s even better news. Your daughter found a job for both Xu Jing and my three younger siblings,” Mr. Xu mentioned this a bit sheepishly.
He is known for his fairness. Though he is the captain, aside from farming which was a bit easier, the family never took any undue advantage.
Anyone with vegetables can sell them at my younger brother’s house tomorrow.”
“Captain, why should we go to your younger brother’s house, shouldn’t we go to your house or the commune?”
Mr. Xu asked everyone to be quiet and said, “Xu Jing has officially become our village’s clerk. All vegetable sales in terms of weight and money will be recorded by Xu Jing, Ren Cuixia will be responsible for quality inspection, and Xu Shengshun will handle delivery.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the villagers below immediately became unhappy; they voiced their discontent loudly, “Captain, you’re abusing your power; why should all these people be your relatives.”
“Exactly, Captain Xu, you’re going too far.”
Everyone on the ground felt upset, each placing their heads forward and raising their fists in protest.
Xu Shengwu went directly to the wheat field, grabbed the horn from Mr. Xu, and declared, “Those who are not satisfied do not have to sell!”
With a single statement, he frightened everyone into silence, but they were still unhappy deep down, especially with Xu Shengwu’s threat making them even angrier.
Mr. Xu became anxious, what kind of statement was that from the third son.
Xu Jiangmin, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but laugh. The leader was coming to inspect in a few days, and Captain Xu was daring to do something like this, directly heading for a confrontation with the leader.
The site quieted down, and Xu Shengwu then slowly elaborated, “The reason these people were chosen for these roles is that my younger sister works at a state-owned restaurant, and she and the restaurant’s buyer secured this cooperation.”
“That’s why we have this opportunity to sell vegetables, and all these positions were approved by Director Sun.
If anyone is dissatisfied, they can go talk to the leaders. Xu Jing is about to graduate from high school and is good at math; is there anyone more suitable in our village to be the clerk?
As for my aunt, who among you can endure hardship and be as meticulous as she is?
My elder brother is even more suited for deliveries. What if your goods are rejected by those on the other side? With my younger sister there, who would dare to reject his goods?”
With this explanation, it indeed made sense to everyone.
They knew the buyer was acquainted with Xu Ying; they didn’t know those people.
What if the buyer made it difficult for them and refused their goods? Then they wouldn’t make any money.
As for the clerk, it seemed that aside from Xu Jing, there was no one more suitable, though some suitable people were in the Youth Corps, they weren’t related or connected, so why should they benefit them?
Everyone saw that Ren Cuixia endured hardship and her heart was kind; most importantly, the business opportunity was brought by Xu Ying, so if they were unsatisfied, they simply wouldn’t have this chance.
