My girlfriend is from 1949

next day

After washing up, Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan ate fried dough sticks and soy milk at a roadside breakfast shop.

Then he drove the car towards the warehouse.

When the two arrived, a line of trucks were already parked in the open space outside the warehouse.

"Huai'an, Ms. Lin, good morning! I just bought some steamed buns, would you like to try some?"

Luneng sat by the flower bed, holding a bag of steamed buns in his hand.

Clearly, he had led the convoy in early in the morning and was waiting.

Lin Wan waved her hand politely, "Thank you, I've already eaten."

Chen Huai'an smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late."

Then he turned to the middle-aged man in overalls who was walking towards him and instructed him, "Old Zhou, check the goods. If there are no problems, put them into the warehouse!"

Old Zhou respectfully said, "President Chen, President Lin, I have already inspected President Lu's 50 truckloads of canned fruit and found no expired or deformed products."

If any substandard products are found, they will all be returned.

Old Zhou had worked at a company for fifteen years, specializing in quality inspection.

Two months ago, my company rejected me because I was 45 years old and made way for a younger person.

Then, he was recruited by Chen Huai'an at the human resources market.

The job involves sampling and inspecting all goods according to the requirements of the checklist.

Because this job was hard to find, the salary was high, and it had a three-day work week with three days off, I was particularly serious and responsible about my work.

I arrived at work early and finished the quality inspection work before the boss arrived.

In fact, the quality inspection work he did mainly involved observing qualifications, whether they were expired, and whether there was any deformation or expansion, etc.

Just make sure it hasn't spoiled.

After all, as long as the qualifications are complete, they have undergone testing by professional institutions when they are listed on the market.

Chen Huai'an's shopping was similar to that of going to the supermarket.

You only need to check if it's expired or spoiled.

The products manufactured by those small factories also undergo testing by professional institutions and obtain relevant certifications.

So I'm quite confident about the quality.

With Chen Huai'an's approval, forklifts entered the site and began to store the near-expiry canned goods.

Then the money was settled on the spot.

They have a good reputation for not delaying payments.

Luneng's first batch of goods was delivered, a good start, and he smiled so much his eyes narrowed into slits.

He personally supervised the unloading process until it was completed before hurriedly leaving.

The suppliers he found came from all over the country, and their arrival times varied.

I have to go in and make a phone call to arrange the next batch of goods' arrival time.

Meanwhile, cotton-padded clothes, canned meat, 100 dump trucks, and 20 large excavators with a capacity of 80 tons each arrived one after another.

Fortunately, the warehouse is large enough, and it was designed with eight large doors.

In addition to the two main gates at the front and back, there are three more gates on each side.

Therefore, when goods are stored in the warehouse, they are distributed across eight gates, so there is no need to worry about congestion affecting efficiency.

As truckloads of goods arrived, and vans lined up to enter and exit, the warehouse was bustling with activity.

They were able to rest around noon when a food delivery truck drove in.

Chen Huai'an was very generous; he ordered a boxed meal for everyone, whether it was the workers he hired or the deliverymen.

Two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of soup—that's quite a feast.

If these boxed meals were placed in the Republic of China era, they would be the food of a truly wealthy family!

Ordinary families would eat rice porridge and pickled vegetables, plus a soup of wild vegetables they dug themselves.

In the homes of the poor, a table is often covered with hairy crabs!

During the Republic of China era, wealthy people did not like to eat hairy crabs, nor did they consider them a delicacy.

Because crabs don't have much oil, have a lot of shell, and their meat is considered "cold" in traditional Chinese medicine, eating too many crabs can cause stomach problems and diarrhea.

The delicacies they yearn for are meat and fish, chicken, duck, and goose—foods that are oily and provide high calories.

Only those poor people and beggars who are often hungry are so poor that all they have to eat are crabs.

Unlike today, where only the wealthy can afford to eat hairy crabs, their price is absolutely prohibitive.

I'm not really interested in chicken, duck, goose, or pork anymore.

Perhaps this is the change of the times, which has led to two extremes in the living standards of people in two different worlds.

Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan sat in the security booth, enjoying the air conditioning and eating boxed lunches.

After all, they are the bosses; they can't exactly squat by the flower bed and eat with the workers, can they?

Times have changed. Being able to eat the same boxed lunches is already a sign of sharing weal and woe with everyone!

Chen Huai'an gnawed on a duck leg, his gaze fixed on the warehouse through the glass.

"I think we should register a company and then build a row of prefabricated houses on the vacant land next to it."

The hired employees have a place to work and a place to rest.

What do you think?

Lin Wan was taking small bites of shredded pork with green peppers when she heard the suggestion and was taken aback.

I agree with the suggestion to hire more people.

After all, the amount of procurement is increasing, and the two of them alone are already struggling to keep up.

However, for safety reasons, the two of them always divided the work and managed to finish it.

Now, with the increase in cargo volume, we're finding it a bit overwhelming.

Moreover, the warehouse was idle for three days during the Republic of China period, which was a bit of a waste.

If we could utilize it, we could store more goods and wouldn't be in such a rush!

Lin Wan asked疑惑地问道, "Weren't you worried about too many people attracting attention?"

We were worried that too many people would attract unwanted attention, so we even arranged for the security guards to work in three shifts.

They just didn't want anyone to know when the warehouse was emptied.

If we recruit people to expand the scale now, wouldn't it be easy to leak secrets?

Chen Huai'an put down the duck leg bone, which had no meat on it, and a nonchalant smile appeared on his face.

"When I came back from the suburbs yesterday, I observed the police cars that passed by."

It was discovered that some of the people were not wearing police uniforms!

What happened yesterday was at most a fight, and there was no need to alarm plainclothes police officers.

Therefore, I speculate that Zhou Liming is probably from the National Security Bureau.

Now that we've partnered with the National Security Bureau, there's no need to worry about leaks anymore.

Furthermore, I plan to entrust the recruitment process to the National Security Bureau.

Every person hired must undergo rigorous screening.

Anyway, with the National Security Bureau overseeing things, there's no need to worry about spies.

I wouldn't object if they used all their people.

"Isn't this convenient for us?"

After listening to the story, Lin Wan nodded slightly, her face showing agreement.

The warehouse is currently facing a bottleneck in its development, and it is indeed necessary to expand the staff size.

Recruiting through the human resources market yourself can create significant risks.

It is estimated that even Zhou Liming might raise objections.

It would have been better to just leave these matters to Zhou Liming from the beginning.

It doesn't matter where he finds people, as long as he's safe.

And it saves me the trouble of recruiting myself!

After a few words of discussion, the two reached a consensus.

The personnel and security of the warehouse were handed over to the National Security Bureau.

This way, we can both demonstrate our stance and reassure the country.

Chen Huai'an closed the lunchbox and joked, "Then, President Lin, why don't you call your 'best friend' Lu Tong?"
