Chapter 57

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, whether it is a

non-staple food store or a food factory, the sales situation is not as good as

last year.

It is said that tens of thousands of workers have been laid

off in Pucheng this year, and most of the factories have become empty.

He read the news in the newspaper that tens of millions of

workers have been laid off across the country this year, and all sales

industries have been affected to varying degrees.

Wu Li'an was worried with the food factory's year-end report.

This year's sales were 20% lower than last year's, and the warehouse was full

of goods. The expected growth was not achieved, but the sales volume dropped.

He felt sorry for Wang Licheng's trust.

This year, Wang Licheng handed over the full power of the

factory to him, and he couldn't figure out why the sales did not rise but fell.

Wang Licheng received a call from his eldest sister at home,

saying that her brother-in-law had locked him in the room for a day, and

refused to come out without eating.

When he came, the eldest sister had already prepared a spare

key for the room.

The efficiency of the factory is not good this year, and as

the supervisor of the production line, she also knows it. Wu Li'an is the

acting director of the food factory, and he is responsible for any accidents in

the factory. She knows that Wu Li'an blames himself, so she can't lock herself

in the room without eating or drinking.

As soon as Wang Licheng entered the room, he was choked, and

the smoke was so thick that he couldn't see clearly. He opened the door and the

window, and saw the report in the elder brother-in-law's hand, so he knew what

was going on.

"Brother-in-law, the factory's performance is not good

this year. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself. You should eat and drink.

I, the factory manager, don't worry about it. Don't worry about my sister

either." The loan owed to the bank has not been paid off, and he is not as

bitter and bitter as he is.

The workers are all laid off, food and clothing are almost a

problem; who would spend money on snacks, in fact, these are all things he

expected.

"How can you not blame me for this? Let's see how much

I made last year and how much I made this year." Last year's profit was

nearly 6 million, but this year it was only a little over 3 million, which is

nearly half.

"Then have you ever wondered why this happened?"

These relatives are not well-educated, and he doesn't usually see them reading

newspapers or listening to news, and I don't see them caring about national

affairs at all.

The factory should still subscribe to the newspaper, and the

executives should urge them to read the newspaper every day and pay attention

to the new policies of the country. This is good for themselves and the

factory.

"I don't know. I'm not in charge of sales. Don't get me

wrong. I didn't say it was Xiao Jianjun's fault." This year, there are

many merchants ordering, but the order quantity of each store is less.

"Do you know how many workers have been laid off in

Pucheng this year?" In fact, he doesn't know the exact figure. It's all

outside, and the newspapers are giving big data, not about small counties.

"Twenty to thirty thousand!" He had also heard

about it.

"Then do you know how many workers have been laid off

across the country this year? Nearly 10 million workers, what is the concept?

So many workers have lost their jobs. If they lose their jobs, they will lose

their income. Do you think they will still have spare money? Do you want to buy

candy and biscuits?"

Wang Licheng left after talking to him, he still needs to

think clearly about this matter, or find a way for him to learn more. He is

exercising the power of the factory manager in the food factory. If he makes a

wrong decision, it will bring a big blow to him and the factory.

He thought before that it would be safe to hand over the

food factory to his relatives. As long as the taste remains the same, the sales

channels will be opened, and it will be no problem to operate according to the

model. The bigger the factory is, the better the efficiency of the factory will

be.

His thinking was a bit lacking. He never thought that people

who have been walking in good times would be easily defeated when they suddenly

encountered adversity.

Since the establishment of the food factory, it has

developed rapidly, which may have given them an illusion that the food factory

will be invincible. If he didn't know about the wave of layoffs, he would be

inflated after making so much money, which is human nature.

The atmosphere of the Spring Festival this year is not as

strong as in previous years, and there are fewer fireworks and firecrackers.

But those are others happy things, Wang Licheng bought a lot of fireworks home,

this year he will play fireworks with his daughter.

Last year Xiao Wang Xi wanted to play, when she was still

young, Xiao Hongyan held her in her arms to watch Wang Licheng set off

fireworks, she always struggled to get down.

This year Wang Licheng prepared incense, lit the incense,

held his daughter in his arms and held her hand to light fireworks with the

burning incense, lit it, and then ran away with his daughter, making her

giggle. Xiao Wangxi was so excited to play with fireworks, she refused to go to

bed when the time came, and went to bed an hour later than usual.

In his previous life, no family members played fireworks

with him. He remembered that one year, when he was still in elementary school,

on New Year's Eve, his family gave him one Yuan to go out for breakfast by

himself.

He passed by the canteen and saw matches and firecrackers

for sale. He had seen other children play and he wanted to play too, so he

bought a box of matches and firecrackers with the money he bought for

breakfast.

When he got home, his father found him. His father made him

kneel on a chair, pressed his back and spanked his ass. He was very impressed

by that incident.

After the Chinese New Year, Xiao Hongyan went to Jiangcheng

to study again. Every time my daughter got close to her, she was about to

leave, and it was time not to kiss her next time.

Before sending Xiao Hongyan to Jiangcheng, Wang Licheng

organized a meeting with the relatives of several executives in the food

factory, mainly to talk about the importance of learning, let them read more

newspapers, and learn more about state affairs.

He didn't go to Jiangcheng again after taking over Xiao

Hongyan's winter vacation last year. Luo Zhongyong asked him to send Xiao

Hongyan to the factory as soon as possible to look at the books.

The garment factory did not make much profit last year, but

fortunately, it still made a profit and did not lose money. Last year's 5

million loan was repaid 4 million at the end of the year. However, the main

force for repayment is still the food factory in Pucheng.

There is still a tough battle to be fought this year.

According to what he knew in his previous life, in 1996, that is, this year is

the real wave of laid-off workers, and the number of laid-off workers will be

the largest. This will have an impact on the sales of both food factories and

clothing factories. The recession will affect them greatly.

Only by surviving this year will the national economy

experience a major recovery. That was the era of rapid economic development.

Wang Licheng did not wait for the economic depression, but

first waited for the news that Mazi might resign.

Mazi has been with him for so many years, they have

feelings, now Mazi is going to resign, he wants to talk to Mazi, and Mazi also

said that he has something to say to him.

"Brother Wang, my mother came back from Hong Kong and

asked me to go to Hong Kong with her. I don't know if I should go." His

father kept telling him that his mother ran away with a wild man.

Mazi's impression of his mother was still from when he was

six years old. Seeing her this time did not coincide with his impression at

all. It felt like meeting a stranger.

Mazi has a mother? Chen Derong told him that Mazi has no

mother, only a father who is lazy and drinks every day.

"Why did your mother go to Hong Kong?" It seems

that it is not easy for mainlanders to go to Hong Kong!

"She said that my father always beat her back then, so

she left. She met an educated youth returning to the city on the road, and

asked the educated youth to take her out of Pucheng. Later, she followed the

educated youth to Hong Kong, where she now lives." The educated youth

should be the wild man his father said. He asked his mother if she married an

educated youth, and she said no, she is alone in Hong Kong now, and he is the

only relative in this world.

"If she is really your mother, you can go to Hong Kong

with her and have a look. If you want to come back, come back. I will always

welcome you here." Don't know if it will be easier than in the past.

"Brother Wang also thinks I should go?" He lost

his mother since he was a child, and his father beat him every time.

He also wanted to go to Hong Kong with her a little bit, but

he felt guilty towards Wang Licheng because he gave him a job and allowed him

to live a normal life. It was also because of Wang Licheng that he wanted to go

out and see if the outside world was really as wonderful and beautiful as Wang

Licheng once told them.

Mazi is actually a person who is quite content with the

status quo and doesn't have much ambition. When his mother came back to look

for him, he was the first to tell Chen Derong. Chen Derong advised him to go

out with his mother and have a look, not to stay in this small place of Pucheng

all the time, with no future.

Chen Derong often said that he didn't pursue and was too

easily satisfied. This time he also said that he was not promising, so he

showed Chen Derong that he was promising, and then went to Hong Kong.

Going to Hong Kong is not something that can be said to go.

Mazi’s mother did not prepare enough when she came back this time. Some

materials were not ready, and she had to go back to get the materials before

she could bring Mazi back to Hong Kong.

After going back and forth like this, Mazi went to Hong Kong

with his mother in the second half of the year. Before Mazi left, Wang Licheng

gave him 10,000 Yuan and said he could call him if he needed anything.

September is the beginning of the school year again, and

little Wang Xi is already over three years old, and it's time to go to kindergarten.

For the sake of his daughter going to kindergarten, Wang

Licheng approached Xue Zhiyong. Most of the factories in Pucheng could not

continue to operate, and many kindergartens run by the factories were also

closed. Little Wang Xi's going to kindergarten has become a hassle.

Wang Licheng heard that the best kindergarten in Pucheng is

the experimental kindergarten, which is run by the municipal government, and

only the children of employees of administrative units can come to the

kindergarten.

Xiao Hongyan was considered to be within the scope of

internal employees, but she was undergoing party training during this period.

She joined the party in the first half of the year and is very busy now. Wang

Licheng didn't bother her and went to Xue Zhiyong directly.

Xue Zhiyong gave him a certificate, and he just took Xiao

Wangxi to sign up.

This year Wang Licheng wanted to enroll his daughter in

kindergarten, so he sent Xiao Hongyan to school ahead of schedule, leaving her

at home.

At night without the light bulb of Xiao Wangxi, Wang Licheng

and Xiao Hongyan did some piston movement. After finishing the work, Wang

Licheng half leaned on the bed, and Xiao Hongyan's head rested on his chest.

"Will you be afraid to sleep alone tomorrow

night?" He will go back tomorrow afternoon, and will take his daughter to

the kindergarten to enroll in the morning after tomorrow.

"What can I do if I'm afraid, why don't you go

back?" He wanted to go back and sign up for his daughter, so she had to

sign up by herself. Does she still want to rob Wang Licheng from her daughter?

In fact, she is not so afraid of sleeping alone now.

Sometimes Wang Licheng and her daughter are not here on weekends, and she will

go back here to sleep alone. She always thought that maybe they would surprise her

again, so they came suddenly.

"Are you reluctant to let me go?" He took Xiao

Hongyan's hand and kissed it on his lips.

"Who doesn't want you anymore? Love to leave or

not." He must have done it on purpose, knowing that she would be

reluctant.

"You are my big baby, Xixi is my little baby, you are

all my babies, I like them all, wait for me at school obediently for eight

days, I will bring her here when Xixi is on vacation, don't be unhappy. "

I knew that she was arrogant again. The girl who was gentle

and caring in the past suddenly became an arrogant little princess after she

got married. But no matter what kind of her he likes, the tsundere one is

sometimes cuter.
