In the beginning, I kicked my step-brother to waste, and took a few acres of land to the countryside

In this way, Lin Manman and Wei Qing went directly to the home of Director Wei of the chemical plant.

Director Wei lives in the staff building of the chemical factory. It is a very quiet home with only Director Wei and Aunt Wei. They have only one son who is studying at Guangcheng University.

The two of them arrived at Director Wei's house and knocked gently. It was Aunt Wei who opened the door and saw Wei Qing. Aunt Wei frowned and said:

"Comrade Xiao Wei, why are you here again? Old Wei is not at home, please don't come again!"

As she said this, Aunt Wei was about to close the door.

It’s not that Aunt Wei has any problem with Wei Qing, it’s mainly because Director Wei has instructed Aunt Wei not to pay any attention to Wei Qing.

In fact, Aunt Wei herself liked Wei Qing quite a bit. After all, he went to the same school as her son, so Aunt Wei felt more friendly towards Wei Qing.

But no matter how kind she was, she would not go against Director Wei's wishes. Moreover, Aunt Wei knew why Wei Qing came several times.

Wei Qing guarded the door and said:

"Aunt Wei, I'm here with a friend this time. She wants to see Director Wei for something. Please let us in!"

Aunt Wei couldn't close the door and sighed:

"Comrade Xiao Wei, you are making things difficult for me. This was told by my old Wei. You know his temper after coming here a few times. If I see you at home, he will be mad at me!"

Wei Qing explained:

"Aunt Wei, I definitely can't do that this time. My friend can make the decision on this matter. If Director Wei doesn't agree, I will definitely not come again!"

After hearing this, Aunt Wei let Lin Manman and Wei Qing in and poured two glasses of water for them.

"You two wait at home. I'm going to the factory to call Lao Wei back now!"

Normally, the factory would be closed during the May Day holiday, but Director Wei was worried about the factory, so he would follow the patrol every day to check on it.

When Aunt Wei went to see Director Wei, Director Wei was in the guard room, playing chess with the guard. When Aunt Wei told him about Wei Qing's coming, Director Wei said impatiently:

"Don't worry about her. She's just dreaming if she wants to take advantage of the factory from me!"

Aunt Wei explained:

"Comrade Xiao Wei brought a friend here, saying that she is the one who has the final say. You should go back and take a look. What if she can really solve the factory's difficulties?"

Director Wei had no hope at all, but Aunt Wei had said so, and Wei Qing was really troublesome every time he came, so Director Wei could only follow Aunt Wei back home with a unhappy heart.

Seeing that the girl who came with Wei Qing was younger than her, Director Wei shouted angrily:

"Comrade Xiao Wei, you are going too far. Now you have learned to lie. You lied to your aunt about such a young girl. She can make the decision?"

Lin Manman was not angry at Director Wei's attitude. She was just a young girl and Director Wei was not wrong.

Lin Manman explained with a smile:

"I've heard a lot about Director Wei. My name is Lin Manman. Director Wei can call me Xiaolin or Comrade Xiaolin."

"I came here this time to ask Director Wei how much you would like to sell me the production line of our chemical plant for, and whether I can rent the factory building where the production line is located?"

Director Wei didn't expect Lin Manman to come straight to the point without beating around the bush. This attitude actually made Director Wei calm down a little.

Director Wei looked Lin Manman up and down, and said uncertainly:

"Do you really have the final say on this matter?"

Lin Manman nodded affirmatively:

"I can't guarantee that I can afford it, but I won't beat around the bush with Director Wei. Wei Qing and I are indeed interested in purchasing this production line from the chemical plant!"

Lin Manman said this very sincerely, and Director Wei began to pay more attention to her.

Although he was anxious to sell this production line, Director Wei was not the kind of person who would cheat people.

Director Wei asked in confusion:

"What do you want a production line for making cosmetics? This line is not cheap!"

Lin Manman smiled and said:

"This production line can only produce cosmetics. I want this production line to produce cosmetics. What exactly it is is confidential. You can't tell Director Wei yet!"

Director Wei could understand this, but he didn't delve into it further.

Since they really wanted to buy it, Director Wei opened up and said:

"After the chemical plant bought the production line, it produced products for nearly a year. The factory hired hundreds of workers for this production line and piled up products in several warehouses. Whoever took over the production line would have to deal with these!"

Lin Manman had already guessed the conditions that Director Wei would propose.

However, if she were asked to take on a job as a craftsman, she would still consider it, but she would never take any of the expired cosmetics in those warehouses!

Those are expired things, she doesn't even bother to throw them away, so she's not going to be taken advantage of if she is asked to pay for them!

Lin Manman was not polite and directly refused:

"Director Wei, don't try to fool me just because I'm young. The overstocked products in those warehouses are all expired."

"Don't even think about selling these things. Even if you give them to me, I won't take them. Director Wei, don't even think about it!"

After hearing what Lin Manman said, Director Wei was not angry. The reason why Director Wei did not throw away the backlog of products in those warehouses was that he was preparing them to negotiate terms with people who wanted to buy the production line. He did not expect to really be able to sell them!

Hearing that Lin Manman did not reject the workers, Director Wei's eyes lit up and he asked tentatively:

"Let's not talk about the things in our warehouse for now, let's just talk about these workers, can you take over?"

"If you can take over, the price of this production line will be negotiable!"

Lin Manman thought for a while and said:

"Director Wei, accept all of them. I don't have the ability to do that yet. I can only accept 4% of these people at most!"

When Director Wei heard that Lin Manman could take over 4% of the workers, he was not disappointed. Instead, he was very happy.

It’s not that Director Wei is easily satisfied, but it’s mainly because of the competitor who also wants to buy this production line.

Ever since the news that the chemical plant's production line was going to be sold was released, there have been several people who wanted to buy it.

But at present, the only one who has agreed to take over the work of the factory director Wei is Lin Manman.

Previously, neither other daily necessities factories nor individuals who wanted to buy production lines agreed to accept workers.

Director Wei was afraid that Lin Manman would deceive him, so he said something ugly in advance:

"Comrade Xiaolin, if you agree to take over the job, you must do it without compromise. Don't think of agreeing to me first and then finding an excuse to mess up the deal later!"

"If you dare to lie to me, Old Wei, about this, I don't care what your background is or what your family situation is. I, Old Wei, would rather give up my job as factory director than let you go!"

Director Wei is not an ignorant man. From Lin Manman's Beijing accent, he can tell that he has the courage to take over the production line at such a young age. He is definitely not an ordinary child.

Director Wei was afraid that Lin Manman would agree to him first and then ask her family to deceive the workers. He absolutely could not agree to this!

If it weren't for the problem of workers' placement, this production line would have been taken over by someone long ago. How could it have been kept in the factory until now!
