Chapter 1620: Expansion of the Furniture Workshop

~4 min read 757 words

Seeing the situation, Tao Saozi quickly put down the basin in her hands and joined the army of coaxing the children.

Wei Dainiang picked Lebao up first: "Lebao, be good, Grandma Wei will hold you. Your mother can't hold all three of you at once; I'll hold you in a moment."

Tao Saozi also smiled as she picked up the youngest, Kangbao: "Look, these two little rascals already know how to compete for favor and get jealous."

After speaking, she looked at Liu Chuxue: "To be honest, your child is only eight months and some change, yet speaks so early, and what's more, the way he shouted just now was perfectly clear."

Wei Dainiang smiled and added: "None of the three started speaking late; Fu Bao speaks the best and most clearly."

Tao Saozi teased Kangbao in her arms: "These three children are raised so well. When children in other families are this big, their drool makes the front of their clothes dirty, but I've hardly seen these three drool."

Liu Chuxue smiled and poked Fu Bao's nose: "They do drool, but not severely. Besides, Grandma Wei takes such good care that she changes the drool cloth before the previous one gets wet."

After praising the triplets for quite a while, Tao Saozi looked at the small cart beside Wei Dainiang: "Have you heard? This morning, the furniture workshop sent a whole cart of furniture to the city."

Wei Dainiang replied: "I heard the cart was loaded with many small carts as well."

Once Tao Saozi started on this topic, she couldn't stop: "Liu Chuxue, you don't know, but every day at the small square in the courtyard, people gather and the first thing they do is praise you."

"I heard the furniture workshop is about to recruit another batch of people, so everyone is waiting for the notice on the bulletin board."

Wei Dainiang's face was full of smiles: "I heard the pay isn't lower than the wages at those big factories in the city, so naturally everyone wants to work there."

Tao Saozi took up the conversation: "I heard the furniture workshop, just like the snack workshop, has signed contracts with the city's department store building. The order volume is huge, which is why they are in such a hurry to recruit again."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice: "I heard yesterday that the logistics department has allocated another plot of land for the furniture workshop to build new factory buildings."

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. Two people entered the main gate, exactly the person in charge from the logistics department: "Comrade Xiao, do you have time? There are some matters we'd like to discuss with you."

Tao Saozi was perceptive; seeing they had serious business, she put Kangbao back into the cart: "Liu Chuxue, I have matters at home, so I'll head back first. I'll come by to visit later to pick up that basin."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Alright."

She and Wei Dainiang, in perfect understanding, put Fu Bao and Lebao into the cart as well.

Wei Dainiang pushed the small cart: "Come, Grandma Wei will take you to play at the main gate."

Under normal circumstances, whenever the triplets went out, they would attract quite a few people.

Wei Dainiang originally wanted to push them to the small square, but now only Liu Chuxue was home, and those coming to find her were all grown men; she feared some unreliable ones might start gossiping.

But since they had business to discuss, her presence would be inconvenient, so she pushed the three little ones to the main gate.

When Wei Dainiang pushed them to the main gate, Liu Chuxue brought over the tea she had brewed: "Two leaders, please have some tea. What brings you here?"

Having dealt with each other before, they knew Liu Chuxue's character to some extent, so they didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly: "Here's the situation. The furniture workshop has recently taken on quite a few large orders. Now, they are short not only on manpower but also on factory space."

"After a meeting of the military district leaders, it was decided to allocate a plot of land for the furniture workshop to build factory buildings. This construction project is quite large; as a result, all the previous profits will likely need to be invested into it."

"We came to discuss with you: regarding your share of the profits, could you accept receiving it all at once at the end of the year?"
