Chapter 1767

Ye Yaodong just accompanied them to play for a few days, and after that, he had to start getting busy with the exhibition. Lin Xiuqing naturally followed him to help out, and also served as his full-time driver, driving him back and forth every day.

She is quite skilled at driving now; she signed up for her driver's license in February or March and got it in June.

At first, she was nervous and flustered, gripping the steering wheel tightly while driving on the road, wishing she could stick her eyes to the windshield, watching in all directions and listening to everything around her.

Now she is calm and composed, handling it with ease.

She is already a very qualified female driver and can also work part-time as the boss's secretary, arranging things while following him around.

When participating in the exhibition, she also had her own personal business card, printed with "Manager Lin."

However, the business cards distributed at the exhibition were the general factory cards, which had the factory's address and the contact information for Ye Yaodong and Manager Qi, but they also included her contact information and the Shanghai address.

The exhibition process and content this year were not much different from last year's, except that there were some small changes to the booth location, but the foot traffic this year was even greater than last year.

Times are developing, the economy is becoming more and more prosperous, living standards have risen, and consumption power has naturally increased as well.

People placing orders every day were still holding large stacks of cash, lining up in long queues.

Everyone didn't even have time to eat; from the first half hour after entering the venue in the morning when it was a bit freer, until the end of the exhibition when they packed up, they were so tired that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Lin Xiuqing held her waist and said, "I feel like there are even more people than last year. Last year, at noon, we could at least be a little freer and take turns eating. This year, it's so crowded with people that there isn't even time to drink a sip of water."

"This shows that our business is good, and we can make a lot of money in these few years."

Everyone laughed out loud; as long as there is money to be made, it's worth it no matter how busy they are.

Ye Yaodong smiled and said, "It seems that the commissions for you salespeople will be quite generous this year."

It's not just the salespeople; the workers' New Year benefits also need to be increased, and next year's wages will also have to go up.

Since a large number of them are retired soldiers, he also has to do a good job with their benefits.

There are also the workers on the fishing boats, who are inherently much harder working than the workers on shore.

"I'm just waiting to save up some more money, then buy a house, marry a wife, and have a child, hahaha..."

Everyone took the opportunity while packing up to joke around a bit, and then went to eat together.

These few years are the best time to make money; this can also be considered a dividend of the era. People who make money to buy houses now, as long as their luck isn't too bad in the future, their lives won't be too bad either.

The three-day trade exhibition passed quickly, but after the trade exhibition ended, it didn't mean they weren't busy anymore. On the contrary, it was the beginning of their overtime, and it was also the beginning of Lin Xiuqing's busiest time.

Throughout this entire year, her Shanghai office only received some guests sporadically and brought in some scattered orders.

But as soon as this exhibition ended, her office also ushered in a peak of visitors, and orders came in like snowflakes until her hands were soft.

Many people who didn't place orders when they saw them at the exhibition, or were hesitant, or were still comparing, or found the queues too long and didn't wait, all came to the office after the exhibition ended.

Choosing the nearest location—after all, an office was set up in Shanghai this year, so it's more convenient to come directly to the office to place orders, and you can sit down and talk while drinking tea, without having to squeeze and grab goods like at the exhibition.

The office also has the latest samples on display, and has also arranged for salespeople to greet customers, and can also receive orders and dispatch them to the factory just the same.

This year, machines were added and expanded one after another, and production also increased, so there was no need to worry like last year about not being able to make them, not daring to make promises, and losing many orders.

There are also large clients who need to see the production environment before placing large orders, and Lin Xiuqing naturally arranged for people to take them to visit the factory in Zhoushi throughout the whole process.

Two consecutive exhibitions also brought their factory its first spring. A small factory that had only been founded for three or four years is now a somewhat famous processing factory in Zhoushi.

Ye Yaodong has already estimated in his heart that after expanding another wave after the New Year, they will be closer to the goal of a large factory with a thousand people.

Of course, they are also urging the addition of corresponding equipment.

After the exhibition ended, the couple were both busy to the point of being inseparable, one watching the orders, and the other watching the factory and the payments.

Every time the two talked on the phone, they talked about official business, unlike before when they were just chatting or talking about the children.

Even Ye's father no longer spends all day holding the child and walking around, but is watching the warehouse, helping to watch and arrange the loading and shipping every day.

The factory has large trucks coming in and out for loading every day.

It's just that the factory has expanded recruitment and the open space is large; sometimes there are even two or three trucks loading goods at the same time.

The originally scheduled Mid-Autumn Festival get-together was also postponed to New Year's Day; the textile factory side also had explosive orders due to the exhibition and couldn't spare the time to arrange it.

Now everyone is working overtime to rush the work and has no time to organize activities, so it can only be postponed to New Year's Day, which is also quite suitable.

Ye Yaodong still has to keep a close eye on the payments; goods can only be shipped once the money arrives, otherwise the shipping volume is too large and he can't afford to advance the money.

He doesn't worry about the payments for the products; it's all payment upon delivery, and he doesn't let anyone owe him. It's just that there's no way for the fish products.

What gives him the biggest headache is the payment for the fish products. Who told him to have so many boats? Every day there are small fresh-receiving boats docking, and every two or three days there are large fresh-receiving boats docking.

The fish products are incredibly abundant, at least several hundred tons a day, and up to more than a thousand tons. It was only by establishing supply relationships with other large factories that he solved the shipping problem.

However, he also has to provide convenience to those large factories and allow them to owe a portion of the payment.

This also led to him having a headache as big as a bucket every year when the end of the year approached, as he urged for payments.

Isn't that right? While busy shipping goods, he also has to go out every day to urge for payments under the supervision of the finance department.

Sometimes, whoever urges the tightest gets the money arranged for them first. He also has to go out early to ask for money, and he also has to treat people to meals to maintain relationships.

At this time, he also wished his two sons would grow up quickly, so that he could push some of the things to his two sons to do, and save everything from piling up on himself alone.

Some things are not convenient to be shared with outsiders, so they have to be done by his own sons.

The factory was also busy until New Year's Day before there was time to organize the stranded get-together.

Lin Xiuqing also brought the three children back to the factory for a family reunion during the New Year's Day break, and took the opportunity to take a look at the get-together activity.

January 1st, New Year's Day, is also exactly the beginning of 1993. The weather has been gloomy recently, but today the weather is beautiful, and the winter sunshine carries a bit of the crispness brought by the sea breeze.

However, in the Dongsheng Fishery factory, it was rare to have a collective break for half a day. Early in the morning, it was bustling with noise and excitement, and it was a scene of great activity.

Even though the get-together wasn't starting until the afternoon, early in the morning, those retired soldiers in the factory were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, getting up early to wash their hair, shave their beards, and tidy themselves up.

If it weren't for the requirement to wear factory uniforms uniformly, they would have long since taken out the clothes at the bottom of their boxes to dress up properly.

They had been looking forward to holding a get-together for months. Because the exhibition ended on National Day and they had to work overtime to rush the goods, the two factories temporarily shelved the get-together and placed it on New Year's Day. Now they finally looked forward to it.

Early in the morning, they also hung a large red banner at the gate of their factory, hanging high, with eye-catching large yellow characters written on it: "Celebrating New Year's Day and Dongsheng Fishery Processing Factory & First Textile Factory Youth Get-Together".

They also prepared a red carpet, waiting to lay it out in the afternoon. This was a red carpet prepared specifically to welcome the female comrades. They also prepared some balloons tied to the iron gate at the entrance, which really looked festive.

I have to say, the planners also put their hearts into it.

This can also be considered the first time their factory has organized such a large-scale activity.

If it is successful, it can continue to be arranged next year.

After all, there are too many bachelors in the factory, and it definitely can't be solved at once.

Because they still had to work in the morning, everyone could only press their restless hearts back into their chests and go to work on time first, but how could a heart that was eager to move be suppressed?

All morning, everyone was absent-minded at work, and they were all discussing the get-together in the afternoon.

Guessing whether the female workers coming would be pretty, how many could come, and guessing which games would be arranged in the afternoon.

Even the air in the factory was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Lin Xiuqing also got up early and walked around the factory. The smile on her face never faded. Those bachelors in the factory were all very excited, wishing the time would hurry up to the afternoon.

Originally, there were many monks and little porridge in the factory, and female workers were scarce. As long as there was a single female worker, she would be pursued by many people as soon as she arrived at the factory, and she would soon be off the market.

It was only Lin Dongxue's university student label that made many people shrink back, and they could only watch. Even if there were those who took the initiative to attack, she remained unmoved, so she also became the high-cold flower of the factory.

The three Ye Xiaoxi siblings also climbed up early, just waiting to see the get-together.

There were too few entertainment activities, and this was also their first time watching a get-together activity on the spot, and it was held by their own family, so they were also very excited and looking forward to it.

Ye Xiaoxi walked around the factory for half the morning and couldn't wait anymore, "Mom, why hasn't the get-together started yet? I've been waiting for a long time."

"It's still early, it's at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, why did you get up so early? It's freezing to death in the middle of winter, why aren't you wrapped up in your quilt instead of running out and wandering around in the cold? Hurry up and go to a place with sun to bask in the sun, don't run to this shadowy place."

"I want to see the get-together..."

"I told you it wouldn't be that fast."

"It's so hard to wait, why not arrange it for the morning?"

"Other factories have to work in the morning, not to mention that the activity can't be held all day long. Starting in the afternoon and ending in the evening when it gets dark is just right, and then the male comrades can take the opportunity to send the female comrades they have a good impression of back, or the male and female comrades who have taken a fancy to each other can go to eat together and get to know each other more deeply."

"Oh..."

Lin Xiuqing patted her forehead, "What am I saying to a child like you, go play by yourself, wait until the afternoon starts."

"I understand everything, don't think I don't understand, I know everything! When the get-together starts, I still have to help Brother Ajiang find a partner, Second Aunt told me to help look."

Lin Xiuqing laughed, her second sister-in-law was just teasing her when they were on the phone, asking her to see if there were any pretty ones to help Ye Chengjiang tie a rope, and she actually took it seriously.

"Alright, then you sit here and bask in the sun and do your homework, you haven't even done your homework yet."

"No, I'll do it at night."

At this moment, how could she have the heart to do homework? She hadn't waited for the excitement yet.

Ps: I forgot about the plot as I was writing it, I made a big revision, refresh to see.

I don't know what I'm remembering all day long, forgetting this every day, forgetting that, nothing has gone through my brain, my brain is empty every day, and I feel confused when I walk on the road.

All my cleverness and brain are in this book, leading to an empty head in daily life.
