Reborn in 1981, the first to get rich start with dairy cows.

"Good morning, Master Huang!"

Good morning, everyone!

A group of new employees arrived at Baotashan Dairy Factory yesterday, and for the first time, they witnessed firsthand how popular the factory's yogurt is.

People in trucks came one after another, arguing heatedly over whether to take one more can or one less.

Privately, the group inquired about the wages and learned that this month's wages had already been paid in advance. As for the wages owed before, Liu Gui promised to try his best to resolve the issue before the end of the year, and even if he couldn't pay them all, he would pay most of them.

This gave them a lot of confidence. They studied with great enthusiasm yesterday, all for the sake of showing their skills today and increasing production even further.

Old Huang stood at the door, marveling at the changes over the past few days; the factory was truly changing rapidly.

Who would have thought that just two weeks ago, this place was silent and dilapidated!

"I wonder what Shen Dong is up to. How exactly did he manage to bring down Liu Gui?"

Liu Gui was in high spirits these past two days, humming a little tune all the way to his office.

Just as I sat down, Li Meiyu from the finance department came over with the documents.

"Factory manager, this is yesterday's payment receipt."

Liu Gui took it and looked at it. Li Meiyu continued, "We still owe the supply and marketing cooperative 8000 yuan. We've discussed it with them. For the next two months, we'll prioritize paying our employees' wages. They're not in a hurry, but they require us to provide at least 800 cans of yogurt every day."

Liu Gui was just going through the motions and didn't care about the specific numbers. Hearing Li Meiyu speak, he slammed the form on the table and asked, "What about the purchasing station?"

"The purchasing station still owes me 6000 yuan. I came over again yesterday to urge them, but when I said the money was for paying wages, they didn't react much."

Liu Gui was well aware that these were all traps set by his superiors during his tenure.

The operation of a dairy factory mainly involves the acquisition of raw materials and the collection of sales revenue.

Because of the contract, the supply and marketing cooperative reluctantly accepted the yogurt produced by the factory later on, but there was no follow-up payment.

Later, with the coordination of the commune, some of the money was paid to make up for the wages. The dairy factory also agreed to compensate for the losses caused by the yogurt, which resulted in a total of more than 20,000 yuan in debt.

The purchasing station wasn't in a hurry; the factory consumed a lot of milk every day, and they were well aware of that, so Liu Gui didn't take it seriously.

"Alright, I got it. Go ahead! Oh, and call Chen Dong over here."

A few minutes later, Chen Dong knocked on the door and came in.

"How are the new people who joined yesterday doing? Are they able to get started today?"

Chen Dong said confidently, "Don't worry, Factory Manager, we can increase production even more today. Just relax and wait in your office!"

"Okay! Once this busy period is over, I'll give you a raise."

Chen Dong believed him. A few years ago, he decisively sided with Liu Gui and obeyed his every word. The rewards were very generous, and he lived a very prosperous life.

This time is no exception!

Others envied him, saying he was lucky to have met a good leader, but he scoffed at it. What bullshit luck! It was because he had a discerning eye and followed the right path.

While the dairy factory was busily producing yogurt, people from the nearby supply and marketing cooperative came one after another to report problems.

At the entrance of the Baotashan Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a large crowd had gathered, listening to the heated argument between the salesperson and the customer.

"Why are you acting like this, young lady? We came here to discuss a problem, and you insist on accusing us of causing trouble. We're all so old, do you think we'd lie to you?"

An older woman was furious. She had bought two cans of yogurt the day before yesterday. Although they were inexpensive, costing only 9 cents, they used to last for four or five days. However, this morning she found that the yogurt she bought the day before yesterday had become as thin as water, and the smell had changed as well.

She took the money to the supply and marketing cooperative, but the salesperson immediately accused her of causing trouble, which angered her so much that they started arguing in the street.

"Everyone else is fine, but you're the only one with a problem!" These days, the sales clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative is the most sought-after of the "eight major positions," a "golden job" in everyone's eyes, so naturally, he has quite a temper.

"Who says there isn't? My family has problems too!" An old man squeezed through from behind, also holding a yogurt in his hand.

"My house is right next door, just a few minutes' walk home. When I heard you talking about this, I went home to check, and I found there really was a problem! Look, everyone!" The old man said, opening the earthenware pot and bending it downwards, and murky water flowed out.

"It really is true. Look how rare it is; there must be something wrong."

"Of course, the taste is clearly wrong!"

"Look, more people are coming, all carrying cans. It looks like the supply and marketing cooperative is going to be in big trouble."

Seeing that things were going badly, the saleswoman gave a word of advice and told her to quickly go find Niu Aijun.

Niu Aijun was sleeping in a chair. He had been playing cards late last night and was still dreaming of meeting the Weaver Girl.

He only realized the seriousness of the problem when he was woken up. Sweat immediately appeared on his big face. He ordered his subordinate Liu Jing to go to the dairy factory and find Liu Gui, and at the same time, to call the head of the purchasing team.

"Everyone, I am the head of the sales team. I have heard your questions just now, and our supply and marketing cooperative will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"Refund!"

"Yes, give us our money back, we don't want the yogurt!"

The head of the purchasing team was Yang Yujun's nephew, who happened to be out in the countryside making purchases. Liu Jing had no choice but to go to Yang Yujun first and report the situation. After that, Yang Yujun directly called the dairy factory and asked Liu Gui to meet him at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Surrounded by people, Niu Aijun was anxious and paced around in circles. If it were just one or two people, he could handle it, but now there were dozens of people gathered at the door, and the number was still increasing. He didn't dare to confront them directly and could only go along with what they said.

Fortunately, Yang Yujun and Liu Gui arrived shortly after.

"Director!" After greeting him, Niu Aijun began to complain, "Director Liu, you've really got me into trouble! What's wrong with this yogurt? How did it spoil after only two nights?!"

Niu Aijun held the problematic milk can in his hand and shoved it heavily into Liu Gui's hand.

Liu Gui looked panicked, peered into the jar, and realized there was indeed a problem; he began to tremble.

"This...this...I don't know either!"

"You're the factory manager, how could you not know? So many people are watching, and you say you don't know?"

Yang Yujun was furious with his subordinates. The dairy factory had finally come back to life and was back on track. The last time he went to the county to report on his work, the county head even praised him. And now, just two days later, this incident has happened.

He pulled Liu Gui aside and asked in a low voice, "Is there something wrong with the recipe?"

Liu Gui was completely at a loss, muttering, "It should be fine, we ate it all, and it was made according to the recipe."

"Who made the yogurt from the day before yesterday?"

"Master Yang and the others!" Liu Gui immediately realized what was going on. "Director, you mean Shen Dong was behind this?"

Yang Yujun's face was full of anger; he could not tolerate Shen Dong ruining the scene like this.

"Go to the Hongqi Production Team and bring Shen Dong here!"
