Chapter 269 - 269 Recruiting Operators

269 Recruiting Operators

There were very few convoys like Xiao Sheng’s. Most of them were state-owned transport convoys.

Once things involved a state-owned company, the efficiency was unpredictable. They would be lucky if they met a responsible driver who delivered the goods on time, but if they met a slacker, it was very likely that the delivery would be delayed by a day or two.

Therefore, this was also the reason Yu Bing wanted to look for Xiao Sheng’s convoy. Moreover, Xiao Sheng had a very strong backer now, so it was relatively safe. “Alright, then if anything happens to the goods during the transportation, you guys will be responsible.”

Xiao Sheng nodded and agreed readily. “We’ve signed an agreement in advance, so we’re a legitimate convoy. Don’t worry.”

After confirming it, Yu Bing began to write the application report.

When writing this report, she had to be very particular about details. For example, if it was just an ordinary office, the report would be approved by the Commerce Bureau very easily. However, Yu Bing’s shop wouldn’t just be an office. Hence, she emphasized that the office would release samples and offer tours of the factory. She didn’t mention anything else.

As long as the report for the samples was approved, as long as they didn’t sell goods, it was up to the food factory to decide how much samples to display. In any case, the the central authorities’ reach didn’t extend to this area. After she took the report to the city and successfully filed it, the rest would be easy to handle.

Wu Jin rarely ever objected to Yu Bing’s decision. After all, he was as radical as Yu Bing. When the county’s people saw the request to display the products, they hesitated for a moment. Yu Bing repeatedly promised that it was only an office of the factory and that they wouldn’t sell goods. Only then did they give the official stamp of approval.

After the procedures were completed, they split into two groups.

Yu Bing and Xiao Sheng were in charge of traveling to five cities. Yu Bing gave Feng Cai a task. Without going through the usual interview process, he had to directly recruite a salesperson to accompany him to various cities to set up an office. In the future, he would run the sales business with that salesperson.

As soon as the news was released, almost all the male intellectuals signed up.

Therefore, during the two days before they set off, many people surrounded Feng Cai and flattered him all day long. Some people who usually only nodded at him as a greeting took the initiative to call out to him in greeting from afar. Some people even fought over the chance to wash clothes and dishes for him.

However, Feng Cai remained calm and rational. He was still the same as before and didn’t let the attention get to his head.

After dinner, Feng Cai was writing the plans for the cities he was in charge of at the table.

When Liu Jian saw that Feng Cai was in the dormitory, he knocked twice. When Feng Cai looked up and saw him, Liu Jian said with a smile, “Brother Cai, I saw that you kept coughing today. This is pear cream candy that my family sent over previously. It’s very effective at stopping coughing and moistening the lungs.”

As Liu Jian spoke, he walked into the room and placed the pear cream candy on the table.

Feng Cai pushed the candy back and rejected with a smile. “Take it back. The candidate for the salesperson has already been decided.”

Liu Jian continued smiling as he joked, “It’s just a few pieces of candy. I won’t take them away just because I didn’t get chosen. I see that you’re coughing quite intensely.”

Feng had just opened his mouth to speak when he started coughing again and coughed for more than ten seconds before stopping. He didn’t refuse anymore. After he unwrapped the candy and put a piece in his mouth, the refreshing sweetness of the pear cream candy instantly traveled from his throat to his lungs.

Feng Cai stood up with the candy in his mouth and thanked Liu Jian. “I feel much better! Thank you for the candy.”

Liu Jian replied, “You’re welcome. I’m glad that it worked. I’ll go back now. Tell me after you’re done eating. I still have more.”

Feng Cai hurriedly stopped him. “Liu Jian, I remember that your family is in City B, right? Coincidentally, one of the places I’m in charge of this time is in City B. Do you have time to tell me the situation over there?”

Liu Jian smiled brightly and said, “I have time. You asked the right person. I’ve loved to run around since I was young. There’s no path in B City that I’m not familiar with.”

When Feng Cai heard this, he hurriedly pulled Liu Jian to a chair and prepared to take notes.

Yao Nian and Feng Cai were in the same dormitory. Yao Nian was extremely jealous when he saw Feng Cai being praised by the intellectuals in the dormitory these two days. When he saw that Liu Jian was still so eager to curry favor with Feng Cai even though he knew that Feng Cai had already chosen another candidate, he felt that Liu Jian was a fool for continuing to give him candy and guidance.

Yao Nian didn’t want to see Feng Cai get the information about City B so smoothly, so he had an idea and said, “Liu Jian, are you stupid? He already has a candidate. Also, Feng Cai, aren’t you being too unscrupulous? You didn’t choose Liu Jian, but you’re still trying to get him to tell you information!”
