Chapter 197 Production Department Election
-
The next day, Ji Sisi called Hu Zhibin to her office to discuss the desiccant and the outstanding payment to the production department manager.

"So, the idea is to ensure fair competition for everyone? But what about the people we just hired?"

Hu Zhibin didn't quite understand Ji Sisi's way of thinking. According to conventional thinking, the person who arrives earliest should be the one to take the lead.

"It's the same principle as an election. If you want to do something, write an article and compete. If you don't want to compete, just vote. I'll have Xiaoqin inform you later that you should meet at the cafeteria half an hour early on Friday."

Ji Sisi's idea was simple: whoever could take on this responsibility should take it.

Before things stabilize, Ji Sisi wouldn't easily hand over management authority; there would always be a trial period. Before she left, she would set up the leadership team so that the subsequent work could proceed smoothly even without her.

"What does this have to do with our sales department?"

"I called you here to say that many of your people are out and about, especially the educated youth group. When they go to the provincial capital, could you ask Xiaorou and Gaoshu to inquire about desiccants?"

I plan to put desiccant in the half-pound and one-pound packs of beef jerky in the future to extend their shelf life and make it easier to sell to more distant cities.

"Desiccant, what is its purpose?"

Hu Zhibin had never heard of desiccants. "Is it like the kind you put in a wardrobe?"

Ji Sisi nodded, "That's right, but we shouldn't reveal that there's a type of desiccant that can be placed in food. Let Xiaorou and Gaoshu keep it a secret."

Hu Zhibin understood immediately.

The beef jerky in Gu County is sold before it is fully dried. Most people wouldn't eat it right away after buying something so expensive; they would just keep it and eat it slowly.

It's only a matter of time before it gets moldy if left out for too long. When that happens, if we complain to the supply and marketing cooperative, they'll cause trouble for the food factory just like they did yesterday.

The food factory ruined its hard-earned reputation.

“If something goes wrong, go back to Gu County and see if you can bring back some business.”

Taking advantage of someone's illness to seek revenge, and taking advantage of the problems at the Gu County Food Factory, they disregarded past grievances and tried to renew their cooperation. Other supply and marketing cooperatives probably wouldn't turn down money either.

"I've had people keeping a close eye on the situation in Gu County. We'll go there if anything happens. Should we publicize it afterward?"

Ji Sisi shook her head and refused, "Leave room for maneuver in everything, so we can meet again in the future."

"If there's nothing else, I'll go down and find Gao Shu and Jiang Sirou first."

"While you're at it, could you please call Xiaoqin in for me?"

Hu Zhibin nodded, got up and left the office.

The news that the production department was going to select a person in charge immediately attracted everyone's attention, along with the workshop supervisor. Including the person in charge of the production department, a total of five people were to be selected, and the remaining group leaders would be chosen by the group leaders themselves.

With five leadership positions available, one of which was held by a high-ranking leader, the factory suddenly became bustling with activity.

The election was a joint effort of everyone in the factory. Ji Sisi had a veto right, and even the two gatekeepers who hadn't yet joined the company had votes, totaling fifty votes.

Ji Sisi copied the same method she used in her previous life for selecting class officers, and even prepared a campaign speech, giving each person three minutes.

As it was almost time to leave work, Ma Xiaoqin went into the office to report on the situation.

"Manager Ji, a total of fifteen people have signed up, and there are six production department heads..." Ma Xiaoqin reported the number of applicants for each position.

Ji Sisi put the signed and stamped documents aside.

"Only fifteen? I thought there would be twenty."

Ma Xiaoqin nodded, "At first, there were many people, but later, when they heard that they had to manage so many people and meet the work targets, some people got scared."

"Want a high salary but no risk? There's no such thing as a free lunch." Performance evaluation is perfectly normal. People who are scared off by this are not suitable. At least the fifteen people who signed up have courage.

The bold ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death.

Ji Sisi glanced at the registration form and was surprised to find Li Hongying there as well. It seemed that she had misunderstood Sister-in-law Hongying.

"That's settled then. We'll meet at the cafeteria an hour early on Friday. You'll be in charge of counting the votes."

Ma Xiaoqin agreed.

As soon as Ma Xiaoqin left, Captain Wu hurried upstairs.

"Manager Ji, something's happened."

Captain Wu looked nervous. "When I was passing by, I saw several wolves running past your house. I went over to check and found that they kept throwing pheasants and pikas at your door. Your door was completely blocked."

Ji Sisi was stunned. Pikachu and pheasant? Why does this feel strangely familiar?

She immediately thought of Little Grey's poisoning last night. "Oh, is that so? It should be alright now, right?"

“They’re gone now, but we don’t know if those beasts will come back tonight. Just to be safe, you shouldn’t go back to rest tonight. You should decide whether to move your bed to the factory or go home for the night.”

Ji Sisi guessed that they must have come to repay her kindness.

"Okay, I'll check it out tonight. The house is so sturdy, they can't hurt me even if I'm inside."

“How can that be? Wolves are cunning and cold-blooded. Yesterday we hung pika meat on the wolfsbane flowers on the mountain, and they ate it and didn’t die. They’re really lucky.”

Ji Sisi finally understood why Little Grey had suddenly started foaming at the mouth.

"Then I'll have Master Shi take me home tonight." Ji Sisi nodded in agreement with Captain Wu. "By the way, Captain Wu, are those pheasants outside my door still edible? If they are, you can take them back to improve everyone's lives if you don't mind."

Ji Sisi also decided to go home that night, and the doorway to her house must be filled with the smell of blood right now.

"There are at least ten or so at the gate. Why don't I go and get them now and take them to the factory canteen so that Auntie Pang can treat everyone to something nice?"

Captain Wu dared not take it all. This thing was considered precious; it was something that money couldn't buy on the market, and no one dared to catch it.

Suddenly, more than a dozen appeared at Ji Sisi's door. When he saw them, he was stunned and didn't react for a long time.

"That's fine, thank you Captain Wu."

“What’s the trouble? It’s strange, though. Why would these wolves leave all this stuff at your doorstep? Could it be that they’re using your house as a food storage place? Should we renovate it for you somewhere else?”

It's a wolf, not a hamster, so why would it have the habit of storing food?
Ji Sisi chuckled awkwardly, feeling guilty. "That's such a waste. Anyway, I'll be going back on maternity leave soon, so you don't need to worry, Captain Wu."

Captain Wu felt something was off.

Most people would be terrified if they heard that a wolf pack was associated with their own family, but Manager Ji was different. He was not worried at all and instead had a sense of indifference as if it were commonplace.

Captain Wu verbally agreed, but after leaving, he ordered people to clean up Ji Sisi's doorway and had several people surround the area with stone slabs and rocks to prevent wolves from entering again.

After Captain Wu left, Ji Sisi was left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

However, it seems the wolf pack is safe now.

Working late into the night, Ji Sisi looked up and saw that the sky was already gray. She went out of the office and found that the two drivers' cars were already parked in the dam area.
