Chapter 192 Inviting County Magistrate Wei
After Ji Sisi finished explaining her ideas, the cadres all looked troubled.

Secretary Feng spoke up, "Comrade Ji, your idea is good, but the biggest problem now is how we can get in touch with people at the newspapers. These are all city newspapers, and we don't know anyone there."

"Leave this to me, I have a way."

Ji Sisi had already come up with a plan.

"I have no objection to this, since it's a good thing for the development of the commune anyway."

Ji Sisi handled all the funding and recruitment herself, so the others naturally had no objections. They didn't have to spend any money or effort and still got featured in the newspaper—what an honor!

After getting to know them, the cadres understood why Director Yan was so confident in entrusting the factory to Ji Sisi.

When the meeting ended, Director Yan kept Ji Sisi behind.

"Sisi, I heard that a factory is also going to be built in Qiping Commune, but I don't know what it will be for."

Ji Sisi asked in surprise, "Does the county have that much money?"

"Of course they did. Didn't they allocate the money you paid back last month? But it seems that Qiping Commune also contributed one-third this time, around five or six thousand."

"We'll see in time. Director Wang is willing to invest so much money, so he must be confident that he can make it big and successful."

Although Lu County is poor, it has everything. There are shoe factories, garment factories and so on. It's just that beef jerky hasn't been targeted yet. She is curious about what Qiping Commune is going to do.

Anyway, the probability of them being able to compete with their food factory was very low, so Ji Sisi didn't take it to heart.

"Director, do you have time this afternoon? I'd like to go to the county government compound to see Secretary Lin."

Ji Sisi felt a lot of pressure going to the county committee alone. With Director Yan accompanying her, she felt more at ease knowing she had someone to rely on.

"Tell me what you need to do at the county government compound, and I'll try my best to coordinate the time."

"I would also like to invite County Chief Wei to witness this donation ceremony."

Ji Sisi's last conversation with County Chief Wei was not pleasant, and she was worried that after seeing the Gu County newspaper, County Chief Wei would try to force her to do something while she was on her long vacation.

Whether or not it's possible, she has to avoid it first.

Since County Chief Wei wanted to expand recruitment, Ji Sisi agreed, on the condition that the food factory's performance doubled, that everyone had a corresponding job and workload, and that employees could be dismissed at will.

Director Yan agreed to go to the county government compound with Ji Sisi that afternoon.

Ji Sisi didn't go back to the food factory. Instead, she checked the time and took a car with Director Yan to the county.

Secretary Lin's office.

Ji Sisi had called ahead to confirm that Secretary Lin was available before she arrived.

Secretary Lin had prepared tea well in advance.

"Comrade Ji, did something happen at the food factory today? The county head is still in a meeting and will be going out this afternoon. If you need anything, I can pass on the message."

Ji Sisi did not deny it, "There is something, but it's a good thing."

"Our food factory plans to donate 5,000 yuan to the primary school in Huaihua Commune for renovation and the addition of new school supplies."

Today, Director Yan and I are here on behalf of Huaihua Commune to invite County Head Wei and Secretary Lin to our donation ceremony. We hope County Head Wei can serve as a witness.

"So I wanted to ask Secretary Li in advance about County Chief Wei's schedule."

Ji Sisi truthfully explained the purpose of her visit. Secretary Lin looked surprised, then adjusted his glasses, thought carefully, and replied.

"I didn't expect that the Huaihua Food Factory could already start donating to drive the commune. This is a good thing. Don't worry, this matter has been reported to the county head, and I will inform you as soon as there is a result."

Upon hearing this, Ji Sisi guessed that it was unlikely she would be able to see County Chief Wei today.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Secretary Lin. There's something else I wanted to ask you today. I wonder if you know anyone at the Tongxiang Daily?"

"What does Comrade Ji mean by this?"

Ji Sisi smiled and nodded, "I wonder if Secretary Lin knows about the incident a while ago when Gu County recruited fifty workers to advertise beef jerky. I'd like to do the same thing as them."

"After careful consideration, I think County Chief Wei is absolutely right about the expansion of enrollment that he mentioned to me last time."

I had originally planned to speak with County Chief Wei about this matter today, but it seems I'll have to trouble Secretary Lin to pass on the message.

Secretary Lin smiled and immediately changed his tune.

"I do know two people who work at newspapers; they're my high school classmates. If you need their contact information, I can give you their newspapers' contact details."

"There will be a 40-minute gap between the county head's meeting and his departure time. Your matter is very important. I think it would be better if you communicated with the county head in person."

Secretary Lin then arranged a meeting time for Ji Sisi and County Chief Wei.

Half an hour later, County Chief Wei came out of the meeting and passed by Secretary Lin's office. He was not surprised to see Ji Sisi and Director Yan.

His attitude was a bit colder than the previous two times; he glanced at me and then went back to his office on his own.

Secretary Lin stood up. "Director Yan, Comrade Ji, please wait for me for a moment."

After saying that, Secretary Lin followed County Chief Wei into the office and came out ten minutes later. When he returned to the office, he called Director Yan and Ji Sisi to the county chief's office.

County Chief Wei spoke first, "I heard from Xiao Lin that you're going to donate money to Huaihua Primary School and even invite a newspaper to take photos?"

“Yes.” Ji Sisi nodded, then changed the subject, “Regarding County Chief Wei’s suggestion to expand the workforce, I can agree, but I have a request.”

Hearing that there was a twist, County Chief Wei asked, "Tell me about it."

"We can expand recruitment, but only if the food factory's profits double and the expansion is completed before we start recruiting."

Otherwise, the current food factory cannot accommodate another thirty people; the current forty or fifty people are already a bit crowded.

“Doubling it…” County Chief Wei laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes. “I heard that your goods have already been distributed in department stores. That’s a lot of money in a month. It’s not difficult for food factories to maintain a steady increase, but doubling it suddenly is not an easy thing.”

County Chief Wei also found it novel. In the past, when he met people of Ji Sisi's age, they wouldn't even dare to make a request to him, let alone look at him for more than three seconds.

Ji Sisi's abilities exceeded his expectations, but young people are too independent and somewhat disregard the group.

It's not enough for one person to be good; what's truly good is for everyone to be good.

"So I would like to ask County Chief Wei to attend our donation ceremony and at the same time promote our food factory's beef jerky and beef products, just like in Gu County."

County Chief Wei understood; Ji Sisi was trying to use his position as county chief to create a sensation.

After some thought, County Chief Wei agreed, "When do you plan to hold the event? I can ask Xiao Lin to help with the newspaper staff."
