1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

Chapter 100 Job Change Purchasing Department

Although we have already negotiated a deal with Lao Bei to purchase 10,000 bags per day.

But the farm can harvest nearly 5000 kilograms of konjac every day. If the harvest increases by about 15 kilograms every day, the farm can produce about kilograms of konjac in a month.

Therefore, the farm has at least half a month to grow other crops.

Chen Xiao opened the seed store and began looking for other crops to plant.

After browsing around, I found that growing medicinal herbs is the most profitable.

But there are two problems.

One is the time of maturity.

Medicinal herbs are different from ordinary crops. Their maturity time varies according to their value. For example, precious medicinal herbs like ginseng take at least half a month to harvest.

And the medicine is only one year old.

If you want to harvest medicinal herbs that are old, the time required will increase exponentially.

Chen Xiao plans to accumulate as much wealth as possible in the next two years. He does not want to give up the konjac business and plant ginseng instead.

There is another problem.

If ginseng is really harvested from the 30 mu of land, no one in the entire city can eat so much in one go.

It is still 52 years old and artificial cultivation of ginseng has not yet begun.

Therefore, Chen Xiao had to give up the choice of growing medicinal herbs.

At this time, Chen Xiao's gaze rested on the wheat seeds.

Someone suddenly came to his mind.

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he directly bought 30 acres of wheat seeds and planted them all.

As a deputy factory director, Zhang Aiguo has an extremely good relationship with the original owner's parents.

If he were asked to find himself a new job in the steel mill, such as in the logistics and procurement department of the steel mill.

Add to that my own space farm, and I can purchase as much food as I want.

Although it is not yet the three-year natural disaster period, the purchasing department of the steel mill is not having an easy time. They are worried about the purchasing tasks every day.

Chen Xiao did it right away. He came out of the space and rode his bicycle to the steel mill.

Outside Zhang Aiguo's office, Chen Xiao knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door twice and getting Zhang Aiguo's consent, Chen Xiao pushed the door open and walked in.

At this time, Zhang Aiguo was reviewing documents. Seeing Chen Xiao coming over, he looked up and asked.

"Why did Chen Xiao think of coming to my place today? Is there something you need my help with?"

"Uncle Zhang, you guessed it right. I came here today because I need your help with something small." Chen Xiaohan replied with a smile.

"Just tell me what's going on. As your uncle, I'll help you if I can, as long as it doesn't violate the rules."

Zhang Aiguo's words revealed caution.

He also emphasized several words that violated the regulations.

"It's nothing serious, I just want to change my job."

"Our steel mill's logistics and procurement department is always short of staff. I want to transfer there to help the factory solve problems."

Zhang Aiguo drummed his fingers on the table, looking lost in thought.

Chen Xiao was doing well in the locksmith workshop, why did he suddenly think of changing his job?

And the department that was replaced was the purchasing department, which is the most thankless department.

"Can you tell me why you want to go to the purchasing department?" Zhang Aiguo looked up at Chen Xiao seriously.

"To solve problems for the steel mill!" Chen Xiao answered firmly.

“…” Zhang Aiguo was speechless.

"Chen Xiao, you should know that the purchasing department has targets every month, and salaries are linked to those targets."

"If the indicators are not met, the salary received at the end of the month will not be much."

"And you have to know that now that your wife is pregnant, there will be many places where you will need money in the future."

Chen Xiao shook his head.

"Uncle Zhang, I've already told you this: this is all for the steel mill. It doesn't matter if the salary is lower or not."

"Maybe after I go to the purchasing department, I will be able to exceed the quota assigned by the factory every time."

Seeing Chen Xiao's firm attitude, Zhang Aiguo stopped trying to persuade him.

He directly helped Chen Xiao.

"Okay, since you want to go to the purchasing department, Uncle Zhang, I won't try to persuade you."

Then Zhang Aiguo picked up a pen and wrote something on the paper, and handed it to Chen Xiao after he finished writing.

"Go to the Human Resources Department later. I'll ask them to help you transfer to another position."

Chen Xiao took it with both hands and put it in his trouser pocket.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for your help."

"Uncle Zhang, please go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you."

After coming out of the deputy director's office, Chen Xiao went straight to the Human Resources Department.

On the way to the Human Resources Department, a senior worker from the same workshop as Chen Xiao came out to use the toilet and happened to meet Chen Xiao.

He ran over quickly, without even having time to catch his breath, and spoke quickly.

"Chen Xiao, we've been at work for 30 minutes now. Where have you been? Master Yi has been looking for you. If you don't go back, Master Yi will report you to the workshop director."

"Oh? You said Yi Zhonghai was going to report me?" Chen Xiao asked.

The old master nodded.

"You'd better get back to work."

"Go back? Hehe..."

"I want to see how Yi Zhonghai is going to report me."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

The old master behind was still persuading.

"Chen Xiao, don't act on impulse!!!"

Unfortunately, Chen Xiao had already walked away and arrived at the Human Resources Department.

There was a heated argument going on in the Human Resources Department.

Director Qian from the Logistics Department was yelling at Xiao Li from the Human Resources Department.

"Xiao Li, didn't you say last month that you would assign two new people to our logistics department? How come it's been a month and we still haven't seen any new employees report in?"

Faced with Director Qian who would come to the Human Resources Department to make a fuss every now and then, Xiao Li's head was about to explode all day long.

The other new employees know what the logistics department is like.

The salary and benefits are not as good as other positions. Salary is entirely based on performance. If the performance is good, the salary is similar to other positions. If the performance is poor, it will be difficult to support a whole family.

Therefore, generally few people go to the logistics department.

Xiao Li rubbed his brows and said helplessly.

"Director Qian, in a couple of days, we will definitely send two new employees to your logistics department. Do you think that's okay?"

Director Qian waved his hand and spoke arrogantly.

"No! There are no new employees reporting to the Logistics Department today. I'm staying here all day!"

At this time, Director Qian looked like he had given up.

"Director Qian, please don't force me..."

"You are forcing me!!!" Director Qian roared.

"With so many targets issued by the factory every month, it's impossible for us in the logistics department to complete them all!"

"Some employees are barely making ends meet at home. You're forcing us! You're not giving us a way out!"

"Hey......"

Xiao Li sighed and said nothing.
