79: Field Trip

"This is what our Comprehensive Department should do! It's completely normal!" Zhao Rui said, half guilty, half proud.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you a bigger bonus at the end of the year too." Liu Xiaolin, happy, brought up the matter of bonuses again.

"General Manager Liu, you're giving out year-end bonuses all over the place, everyone's waiting." Zhao Rui laughed.

"Look at the development momentum of our Jiangnan Machinery Factory, how good it is, how smooth it is, the year-end bonus will definitely be fine." Liu Xiaolin said.

As the two of them were chatting, Zhao Rui's phone rang. He took out his phone and looked: "Ah, it's a call from Dong Yuhui!"

"Then hurry up and answer the phone!" Liu Xiaolin said.

Zhao Rui quickly pressed the answer button: "Hello Miss Dong."

"Minister Zhao, hello, I just communicated with our company's selection team and specifically introduced them to the fact that you are a domestic goods enterprise that needs strong promotion. Manager Sun of our selection team was very interested after hearing this. He said that we used to primarily promote food and daily necessities, and this is the first time someone has come to our live broadcast room to promote industrial products, so it's worth a try." Dong Yuhui said.

She didn't mention that she had almost talked herself hoarse trying to convince Manager Sun.

"That's excellent. So when do you plan to come for a site visit?" Zhao Rui was overjoyed.

"It's like this, Manager Sun doesn't have time today, and tomorrow I need to prepare for the live broadcast, so I don't have time either. Therefore, we've scheduled it for Wednesday. Is that convenient for you?" Dong Yuhui asked.

"Convenient, convenient, we are convenient at any time." Zhao Rui said repeatedly.

"Alright then, at 9:30 AM on Wednesday, our group of four will arrive at Jiangnan Machinery Factory on time for a site visit." Dong Yuhui said.

"Four people? Who else?" Zhao Rui asked, very puzzled.

"Manager Sun and two staff members from his department, plus me, that's four people, of course." Dong Yuhui laughed: "You didn't think Manager Sun of our selection team was a one-man show, did you?"

"Oh, oh, I see, sorry, I didn't think that much." Zhao Rui said sheepishly.

"Then it's settled, remember to report it to your General Manager Liu." Dong Yuhui said with a smile.

At this moment, Liu Xiaolin took the phone: "Senior Apprentice Sister, no need to report, Minister Zhao is right here in my office."

"Xiaolin, you're something else. You even specifically sent your staff to contact me about factory matters. Now that your business has grown big, I'm not worthy of contacting you directly, is that right?" Dong Yuhui immediately gave Liu Xiaolin a sharp-tongued lecture.

"No, no, this is called handling official business officially. Otherwise, how would you explain it at your company? Would you say you insisted on connecting with Jiangnan Machinery Factory just to help your junior apprentice brother? The reputation of using public office for private gain wouldn't be good, right?" Liu Xiaolin countered without showing weakness.

"Alright, you haven't come out of the debate competition yet, have you?" Dong Yuhui burst out laughing.

"Didn't Senior Apprentice Sister bring me into the debate competition atmosphere, haha." Liu Xiaolin also laughed heartily.

Zhao Rui listened to the hearty laughter after the two of them had their verbal sparring and suddenly felt a little jealous.

Liu Xiaolin hung up the phone and saw that Zhao Rui's expression wasn't good, which was strange.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, I just saw that you and Dong Yuhui seem to have a very harmonious relationship." Zhao Rui said awkwardly.

"Huh? What do you mean? You think there's some different kind of feeling between me and my Senior Apprentice Sister? Are you crazy? Not to mention she's several years older than me, if I were with her, I'd probably be in a debate competition every day, wouldn't that exhaust me to death!" Liu Xiaolin said irritably: "Don't think that everyone will fall in love at first sight and cherish the person you fell in love with at first sight."

"Uh, I didn't mean that, I was just a little, just a little curious." Zhao Rui felt relieved now and quickly found an excuse to get by.

"If I liked my Senior Apprentice Sister, would I still let you contact her? You must be dizzy with love, right?" Liu Xiaolin was both annoyed and amused.

"No, no, I was just curious, don't misunderstand." Zhao Rui was still stubborn.

"Alright, it's time for lunch, let's go to the cafeteria." Liu Xiaolin looked at his phone, it was twelve o'clock.

"Okay, after lunch, I'll notify the four workers in the packaging workshop to come to work tomorrow." Zhao Rui got up and walked out.

The two walked to the cafeteria, got their food, and were about to find a table to sit down when Qi Qingan quickly called out: "General Manager Liu, Minister Zhao, there are empty seats here."

So the two walked over and sat down.

"The food is good today, there are braised fish pieces." Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"Recently, the food in our cafeteria is much better than before. Every meal has either fish or meat, and the workers are very satisfied." Qi Qingan said.

"As long as the factory's efficiency improves, the food in the cafeteria will get better and better in the future." Liu Xiaolin said while eating.

"In that case, the workers will be even more motivated." Qi Qingan said with a smile.

Speaking of workers, Zhao Rui remembered the matter of the packaging workshop: "Minister Qi, the personnel requirement plan you submitted last time needed ten workers. I have already recruited four workers, and they will start work tomorrow. I'll have them report directly to you then."

"Oh? You've recruited workers? That's not bad, but four workers aren't quite enough, are they?" Qi Qingan said.

"The packaging assembly line will arrive tonight. Didn't you say that four workers would be enough if there was an assembly line?" Liu Xiaolin said.

"The packaging assembly line will arrive tonight? Really?" Qi Qingan was overjoyed.

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Liu Xiaolin said seriously.

After Qi Qingan received a positive reply, his face lit up with a smile: "That's great, we won't have to worry about product packaging anymore."

"Why hasn't Deputy Factory Director Wang come to eat?" Liu Xiaolin looked around the cafeteria while eating, but didn't see Wang Shengjun.

"Deputy Factory Director Wang said his stomach was a little uncomfortable and drinking a glass of hot milk would be enough. So he didn't come to eat." Qi Qingan said.

Liu Xiaolin was a little worried. Wang Shengjun was getting old, and any minor ailment shouldn't be taken lightly.

He quickly finished his meal in a few bites: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go check on Deputy Factory Director Wang."

Then he returned his tray to the window and walked directly to the Deputy Factory Director's office.

The door was closed, and he knocked on it.

"Come in." A voice came from inside.

Liu Xiaolin pushed the door open and saw Wang Shengjun sitting on the chair, rubbing his stomach with an uncomfortable expression.

"Uncle Wang, I heard your stomach hurts?" Liu Xiaolin asked with concern.

"It's an old ailment. I drank a glass of hot milk, and it's much better now. After resting, I should be able to recover by work time." A layer of cold sweat still appeared on Wang Shengjun's forehead.
