Since we’re introducing new equipment and production lines, expanding production, naturally the manpower will also increase.
“Shall we go over and take a look first?”
Qin Yang noticed Lin Chuxia was continuously looking in that direction and asked.
Lin Chuxia shook her head, “Let’s go home first.”
Things at the factory are entrusted to Su Wensong and his team, and they’ll report to her once they have results.
Qin Yang didn’t say anything more and directly drove home.
……
At the entrance of Xiyang Food Factory, there were already a lot of people gathered.
Besides those who came for interviews upon hearing the news, there were also many villagers from Qin Family Village.
This time, the recruitment of new employees followed the previous hiring plan, giving priority to villagers from Qin Family Village.
Additionally, if the villagers from Qin Family Village had suitable relatives, they could also come over for an interview with the same treatment as the villagers, being prioritized for hiring.
This recruitment plan was agreed upon by Su Wensong and Lin Chuxia.
They hadn’t forgotten how the villagers stood firmly by their side defending them when people from the old food factory came to cause trouble.
Although this matter has been over for more than a year, and the old food factory was merged with Xiyang Food Factory.
This gratitude has always been in Lin Chuxia’s heart.
And she will repay them in her own way.
Thus, when the village chief announced this news through the loudspeaker, the whole Qin Family Village was in an uproar.
Xiyang Food Factory, being a private enterprise of the Qin Family, already gave preference in hiring to villagers of Qin Family Village, out of village solidarity.
And this time they opened up even more, allowing their relatives, as long as they met the factory’s employment criteria, to be prioritized for hiring. What does this show?
It shows that the Qin Family and Lin Chuxia genuinely consider these fellow villagers as one of their own.
None in the crowd watching the buzz from the Qin Family were not beaming with smiles.
Even those who were supposed to be working in the fields stopped just to come over and watch the spectacle.
Li Dajun’s mother stretched her neck out trying to peer inside, and upon hearing the discussions around her, she joined in.
“You see what you’re saying, Qin Yang’s wife said long ago, she is one of us in Qin Family Village, sure to support Qin Family Village. What does it matter if she’s not in the village? Which matter in the village these past two years hasn’t she helped with?”
People nearby immediately laughed and agreed, with someone asking, “Dajun’s mother, I see you’re so eager, your son Da Jun has worked at the factory for several years, what are you still curious about?”
Li Dajun’s mother laughed while patting her leg, “Our Da Jun is doing well at the factory, he just got promoted to team leader not long ago. But who says there’s ever too much good news? Last time the factory was hiring, my daughter-in-law was pregnant and couldn’t go to work, now the kid’s a bit older, perfectly timed for me to watch the child so she can take the job. If she gets selected, our family will have two workers.”
With the greenhouse farming at home, having two factory workers, isn’t that money visibly rolling home?
Li Dajun’s mother’s eyes squinted into slits as she spoke.
Of course, although the factory gives hiring preference to villagers from Qin Family Village, not everyone can handle the job.
In cases like Li Dajun’s family, having two workers is rare in their village.
On the side, Ma San smirked, “Auntie Da Jun, you’d still dare to send people to the factory? Don’t forget last time when something happened at the factory, the police took your Da Jun away, you were scared out of your wits.”
“Hey, that was so long ago! Besides, our Da Jun, even if taken by the police, it was due to exerting effort for the factory. Mr. Lin said it outright, they called it self-defense, the factory will never let employees suffer injustice, didn’t they release him after only a few days and even gave a fifty yuan comforting fee, which was equivalent to over a month’s salary? Wouldn’t our Da Jun say, as long as genuinely working for the factory, there’s no losing out, where else can you find such a factory? If my daughter-in-law gets chosen, it’s only a matter of pride, not worry.”
As she spoke these words, it was true, back when her son was taken by the police, they as family were anxious for several days.
After returning unharmed, the factory even gave fifty yuan in compensation.
Seeing those fortunate not to be taken away, some envied wishing they were the ones caught.
She finished speaking and glanced at Ma San, “I say Ma San, your home is closest to the factory, you don’t miss any excitement at the factory, might as well go work there and earn some money, knowing factory matters immediately, isn’t that better than watching from outside with us old ladies?”
Another auntie laughed too, “Right Ma San, if you become a worker, your wife won’t quarrel with you? She’d have to stick by you peacefully and even pamper you.”
“Whether pampering him or not, seems unlikely to kick him off the bed anymore…”
After the aunties finished, they immediately burst into laughter.
Ma San wanted to argue a few more rounds when a sturdy woman squeezed through the crowd from outside and twisted Ma San’s ear, “I say, where did you run off to so early? The vegetables at home are getting dry, yet you have the heart to watch the commotion here? Do you think the factory will choose you? Hurry back with me!”
Ma San was being pulled by the ear, and the aunties’ laughter grew even louder.
His face turned bright red as he shouted, “Wife, slow down, slow down a bit, I was just watching around, I’m going back, let go…”
“I let go and you might run off somewhere again, I know you too well, Ma San, if I find you mingling with those old ladies again, I swear you’ll be an old lady this lifetime!”
As they walked away, Ma San’s wife’s voice was still audible.
The aunties’ laughter didn’t cease, Li Dajun’s mother scoffed, “Serves right, needs someone like that to settle him.”
Everyone knows Ma San’s little schemes, can’t bear to see others doing well.
When Xiyang Food Factory was first established, he wished the factory would go bankrupt.
Nowadays, the factory is the pride of their village, yet he still harbors such meager thoughts.
“Exactly,” another auntie concurred, “Ma San, if not for the fortune of being in this village, everyone knows Qin Family Village has greenhouses and a factory, making money, he wouldn’t have been able to get married and might still be single now?”
“I know this well, she originally didn’t fancy Ma San, just because he was a Qin Family Village man. His wife may be twice married with a fiery temper, but I’ve met her twice, she’s sensible, truly a loss paired with Ma San.”
“I say, who credit does Qin Family Village owe for its development? Ma San managed to marry not grateful, better just hope he remains single all his life.”
