Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 408 - 409: Factory Director Lin’s Many Cunning Plans

Chapter 408: Chapter 409: Factory Director Lin’s Many Cunning Plans

Director Yang’s words had barely left his lips when Xu Ying’s gaze towards him instantly became more distant.

"Director Yang, I’m not sure what you mean by that," Xu Ying stared straight at Director Yang, her determination clear. If that geezer suggested handing over the Food Factory’s formula, she would lay it all down and quit on the spot.

Not even the top brass had the authority to coerce her.

Seeing Xu Ying’s expression, Director Yang realized this was a lost cause and his heart filled with a myriad of regrets.

If only he hadn’t heeded that old coot’s words, needlessly stirring the pot—if he upset Xu Ying, what would he do if she actually quit?

"Xiao Xu, I just thought about alleviating some of Yu County Food Factory’s pressure on your behalf. If you’re unwilling, then let’s just forget it," Director Yang’s attitude was extremely agreeable.

Xu Ying, too, recognized she might have been a bit hotheaded and softened her tone, "Since you’ve brought it up, Director Yang, why don’t you tell us how you plan to help alleviate our pressure?

If you’re looking to acquire our Food Factory’s formula, then forget it. However, if you can provide us with pork and workers, we would naturally be pleased.

After all, offering us workers would also help solve employment problems on your end, especially now with so many ’educated youth’ returning from the countryside back to the cities.

A lot of them can’t find jobs, I bet. Our Yu County Food Factory is willing to give these young people a chance to work in our facility," Xu Ying brazenly stated.

She genuinely felt that it was better for these people, who were idly sitting at home unable to find jobs, to come work at their Yu County Food Factory.

They could at least earn some money, and it wouldn’t be long before the craze for working jobs took off.

Their factory, being state-owned, naturally offered much better treatment and benefits compared to those private business owners that came after.

Director Yang hadn’t thought of this, and with confusion written all over his face, he said, "But Yu County is too far away, and it’s inconvenient for people from Beijing to get there."

As soon as Director Yang finished his sentence, Xu Ying knew exactly which character was causing trouble.

A faint smile on her face, she looked at Director Yang and said with a laugh, "Seems like Factory Director Lin’s food factory isn’t doing much business.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be eyeing our factory.

Has Factory Director Lin’s instant noodle line not seen any growth?"

Xu Ying’s comment, while seeming light-hearted, made it clear she was deliberately mocking Factory Director Lin. When Lin first introduced the instant noodle production line to the country,

he never anticipated that Magic City Food Factory would capitalize on it and make a fortune.

Now Magic City Food Factory was in collaboration with Xu Ying’s own facility, working on a variety of flavored instant noodles that were selling like hotcakes.

Who was paying attention to Beijing’s convenience goods now?

Beijing Food Factory was currently relying on some previous partners, but products from other factories were constantly being upgraded. Only Beijing Food Factory remained the same, and many partners wanted to terminate their contracts with Lin.

Factory Director Lin was in a panic, and he wasn’t the only one—the minister of the commercial department in Beijing was also worried. Hence, their eyes turned to the lucrative dealings of Yu County Food Factory.

Director Yang had simply thought that with such a large factory as Beijing’s struggling, and Yu County Food Factory overwhelmed with more business than it could handle, he might get the two to help each other out. He wanted to intercede on behalf of Lin, but he forgot about Xiao Xu’s fiery temper.

She wasn’t someone to be trifled with, and she was certainly one to hold a grudge.

Lin, the factory director, truly lacked foresight. Of all people to offend, he had to go and upset Xiao Xu.

"Xiao Xu, how can Beijing’s instant noodles compare to the noodles you and Magic City have teamed up to create?"

"Whatever business has the Magic City Food Factory got going on, I figured your food factory was so busy, I thought about letting them take some of the load off."

Xu Ying immediately shook her head, "Director Yang, you’re not joking, are you? Factory Director Lin used to look down on our Yu County Food Factory, saying our small factory couldn’t compare to those larger ones in terms of business. How could it be that they have no business now? You must be kidding, and besides, Yu County is planning to build a subsidiary factory. There are plenty of factories in Yu Province, so setting up a subsidiary is not a problem, and we won’t trouble Factory Director Lin with it."

Seeing Xu Ying’s reaction, what else could Director Yang say? He could only sulk and shut his mouth.

Xu Ying wasn’t idle either. After turning down Director Yang, she continued to roam the exhibition hall with her belly sticking out. Zhang Meiling and Zhang Wu followed close behind, one helped carry things, the other supported Xu Ying, both acting like a pair of little attendants.

Director Yang watched with exasperation, "Is she here to help us with translating, or is she here to make her own money?"

As his words fell, a subordinate laughed and said, "Director, Xiao Xu is also earning foreign exchange for us."

Hearing this, Director Yang nodded with a smile on his lips, feeling completely helpless about Xiao Xu.

That damned Factory Director Lin had only managed to leave a bad impression of him in Xiao Xu’s mind, and he decided never to bother with the damned man again.

The subordinate watched as their boss twitched at the corner of his mouth, criticizing Xiao Xu verbally but his face betrayed an unending smile.

Xu Ying wove through the exhibition hall, her eyes shining with excitement. "This foreign trade exhibition hall is just too big."

Zhang Meiling followed behind Xu Ying, full of curiosity, "Yingying, what are we doing now?"

"Keep our eyes and ears open, take a good look at what business these people are doing, listen to what business they plan to engage in this time. Move into the crowd and see who’s the most popular; that means they must be strong and can take on many orders. Although we don’t have products, we have design drawings, and however many orders we can sign, that’s how many we’ll have. Meiling, if you’re willing to work with me, I won’t let you down, I’ll give you a commission of ten cents for every two thousand yuan," Xu Ying’s voice had just dropped.

Naturally, Zhang Meiling was willing. Her family wasn’t wealthy, and the money spent on her education wasn’t small. Moreover, her sister was also in college, and her two sisters-in-law were quite unsatisfied with them. She couldn’t let her parents and brothers suffer. Earning some money wouldn’t be too bad, and with an excited face, she nodded repeatedly: "Yingying, will you really give me money if I land an order? Then I’ll give it a try."

Two thousand yuan for ten cents in commission, the foreign guests were very rich. Didn’t you see that the amount of each foreign trade deal was in the millions or tens of millions? If she could land a big order, this foreign language competition would be so worth it, not only would there be prize money, but also wages to earn.

Zhang Wu was also eager to try on the side, "Xu Ying, I want to try it, too."

Xu Ying nodded and thus the three of them split up and set off.

Director Yang and the others followed, watching the three of them go their separate ways, their faces filled with confusion. As it happened, there were three of them as well, so they each followed one and split up.

Xu Ying wandered through the crowd for quite a while and finally set her sights on a very fashionable-looking lady reeking of sophistication. She approached the elegant woman with a big smile on her face.

"Hello, beautiful sister, your clothes are really pretty, but your figure is even better, making this outfit look so good on you," Xu Ying let the flattery flow out freely.

Director Yang followed behind, his mouth twitching. If he had Xu Ying’s thick skin and ability to play to the crowd, perhaps he too would have brought in quite a bit of foreign exchange.

"Hello gorgeous, you have good taste too!" the woman responded to Xu Ying, with sparkles in her eyes.
