Reborn in 1976, teach him how to be an official

Liu Hongyi nodded, his expression still very friendly, and said nothing.

This is a very common phenomenon in this day and age.

As the director of a tea oil factory, how could I let my daughter stay home unemployed? I would definitely have to find a way to recruit workers. In fact, even in the future, it would be the same.

It’s just that the means are more sophisticated and more covert.

For example, the son of the director of a certain bureau goes to work in another bureau, and the daughter of the director of another bureau goes to work in his bureau.

Things like this are not worth laughing at.

It is also impossible for Liu Hongyi to completely change the "human relations and social customs" of the entire Zhuang'an County. That is unrealistic.

If he seizes on this kind of thing to make a fuss, it will not only fail to enhance his prestige, but will instead cause many people to dislike him, thinking that he is out of touch with the world, unkind, and not a good leader who understands the situation on the ground.

Even so, the factory director and others were still so nervous that they were sweating all over.

Just because the county party secretary didn't criticize you in person doesn't mean he approves of what you're doing. That's just strategic. If he were to say something to Chen Jiefang privately, the factory director would be so worried about his daughter that he'd pack up and go home immediately.

But since Liu Hongyi didn't mention it, the factory director naturally didn't dare to make any "explanation" on this issue, as that would only make things worse.

"Let's go and take a look at the factory, first the workshop and then the warehouse."

"Yes, yes, Secretary Liu, leaders, please come this way..."

The factory director tried his best to speak "Mandarin" and led the leaders to inspect the workshop.

There was actually nothing interesting to see in the workshop. It had been closed for the holidays a long time ago and it was empty, with no one there.

Liu Hongyi saw that the oil pressing model was still very old-fashioned. It was not really a modern factory, but just a larger old-fashioned workshop.

That huge wooden hammer looks very old.

This place can be used to shoot costume dramas for time-travel dramas.

But even such an old-fashioned workshop had a high output. The factory director proudly reported to Liu Hongyi that their factory supplied most of the tea oil in the county, and that many merchants from other counties also came to their factory to buy goods.

More than a year ago, the two victims brutally murdered by Wei Minghua's gangster gang were a young couple who came from other counties to purchase goods.

Then we came to the warehouse.

The fresh fragrance of tea oil wafts into my nose.

"Haha, not bad, the warehouse is very tidy..."

Liu Hongyi nodded approvingly.

Although they must have done some temporary cleaning, it can be judged from the placement of the oil jars, oil cans and oil drums, as well as the smell in the warehouse, that Director Wei's daughter should be a qualified warehouse manager.

Just because she is the factory director's daughter, she doesn't do her job perfunctorily or neglect her duties.

"Director Wei, do we have small packages?"

Liu Hongyi checked several large oil drums, and also used a grape to squeeze out a bucket of tea oil, and carefully smelled the fragrance.

"Yes, yes..."

The factory director agreed repeatedly.

As Liu Hongyi expected, he brought out a ceramic jar, the kind sealed with mud.

Liu Hongyi took it, weighed it, and found it was heavy.

"Director Wei, how many kilograms are these?"

"This is five catties. We also have two- and one-catty containers, packed in bamboo tubes... They're all the exact weight, so we don't dare skimp on anything."

Liu Hongyi held his breath for a moment.

He could barely accept the ceramic jar, but the bamboo tube was too old-fashioned.

"Director Wei, how do we usually sell?"

“Besides wholesale, is there any retail?”

"It's mainly wholesale, with relatively little retail... Qingqiao is a tea oil producing area, and people usually refine some for themselves and don't buy tea oil from the supply and marketing cooperatives."

"Then can we further expand our production capacity?"

Director Wei thought for a moment before saying, "Secretary Liu, we can expand. We just need to hire more people... We have enough tea seeds. As long as we harvest them, the members can plant tea trees on all their private plots... But tea oil isn't consumed by many people on a regular basis. Even if we expand production, we won't be able to sell it..."
