Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

Looking at the time, Ye Chuan said, "Mom, don't bother. Let's eat together today. It's eleven o'clock now."

Tong Yao followed closely, saying, "Mom, don't be busy. Let me cook a meal later." Hearing this, Liu Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Just chat with you guys. It's too hard for you to cook after you just got married."

Tong Yao felt very sweet during these days of getting along. She had thought that there would be some discomfort between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a newly married relationship, but the reality was completely different from what she had imagined - she always received warm care from her husband's family, which made her heart full of warmth.

After the next two days, the two of them rested at home. Tong Yao's vacation was not over yet, and the two of them stayed together day and night without feeling bored at all.

Liu Yue and Ye Yongshun were both aware of the couple's impending separation, and after dinner every day, they went home early to rest.

Tong Yao blushed and her heart beat fast every time she left, and her happy look made others feel gratified.

After the holiday, they began to face new challenges.

The last day of Ye Chuan's leave was the day they returned to visit their new home. At home, Liu Yue had already prepared a table of delicious food, waiting for their return.

Tong Yousheng took a special day off, looking forward to a family reunion.

Seeing their daughter's happy and satisfied look, Tong Yousheng and his wife were extremely relieved, especially Wang Yuxiu. All her worries disappeared and she praised her son-in-law highly, feeling that she had found the perfect son-in-law.

Witnessing their daughter's transformation, they have more aspirations for their future children and grandchildren. After all, she is their only baby.

Since the two families lived relatively close to each other, only about ten minutes away by bike, they did not feel too much loss about their daughter's marriage; plus, their daughter's school was near home, making it even more convenient to visit.

These short but pleasant three days soon ended. Ye Chuan returned to his busy work, and Tong Yao also started a new study life.

The second clock factory also started to ring, reporting that the high-quality mechanical and battery-powered alarm clocks had been assembled and would soon be put into mass production.

Director Sun happily told Ye Chuan that after replacing all the gears with iron, the quality and accuracy of the product had been significantly improved. It was even more accurate than traditional wall clocks and the ringing sound was louder.

He also said that the overall cost increase is not much and can even be regarded as a negligible cost in mass production.

Hearing this, Ye Chuan suggested: "Brother Sun, what if we change the entire alarm clock - the surface, the hands and even the shell - to iron?"

Director Sun thought for a moment and responded: "It is expected that this will increase costs, but it is within an acceptable range."

Ye Chuan then suggested: "I think all new alarm clocks should be made of iron. This way, the quality will be better."

In response, Director Sun said in confusion: "Why do we need to make such a change? The current model is already good enough in terms of quality and accuracy. Making it all iron may increase the cost and may reduce the accuracy, and will not improve the actual quality much."

Then Ye Chuan explained: "Brother Sun, please allow the engineer to adjust the tooth gap appropriately.

The real reason for changing to iron is to consider the price demands of the export market! A cheap product will look different as long as the dial and hands are all metal. "

Director Sun immediately understood what Ye Chuan meant: just like using paper dials and plastic hands to make watches look cheap, changing them all to iron would make customers feel the high quality. "Brother Ye, your consideration is well thought out." He understood that changing to iron could enhance the high-end image of the product.

Ye Chuan went on to elaborate: “The feel and texture of all-metal will also be different, giving people an impression of being delicate and noble.

Even if it is sold at a low price, selling it for $20 in overseas markets is not considered exploitative.”

When Director Sun heard the price of "20 US dollars", he was shocked. He thought the original price of 10 US dollars was too high. "What Brother Chen didn't know is that the prices of foreign alarm clocks are too high and their functions are limited.

Our model has more flexibility in timing adjustment, which is the value of technology. If you sell it at a high price early, you will not be able to catch up later. "In addition, the technology of their products is simple and easy to be imitated.

Director Sun agreed: "I will reserve time and notify you immediately when the final prototype is available." Shortly after hanging up the phone, the desk bell rang. It was Secretary Chen.

Ye Chuan answered the phone, and the other party was none other than Secretary Chen. "Brother Chen, I really have to thank you for that matter.

Standing outside the door for a long time in the hot weather." He was full of gratitude for Secretary Chen's thoughtful hospitality. "Brother, you are being rude. I am your brother and I am naturally happy to help." Secretary Chen said with a smile, and then said: "Brother Ye, Secretary Xu asked me to call you and ask which day is really suitable for you to have dinner at home."

Ye Chuan was a little touched by Secretary Xu's sincere invitation. "Then Brother Chen, please set a date. I can come over on Saturday night to be with my lover."

Just as he was about to hang up, Secretary Chen spoke again: "By the way, Brother Ye, I have something to ask you."

Ye Chuan answered readily: "Brother Chen, just tell me what you think. I will tell you everything I know."

"On the day of your wedding with your sister-in-law, there was a female teacher among the guests. How is her partner?" Secretary Chen asked vaguely.

Female teacher? Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was Teacher Ran Qiuye.

"Brother Chen, are you talking about Director Ran? Because the school is on vacation recently, I haven't communicated with her yet, but I don't think I heard that she was dating someone before the vacation."

Hearing the joy in Secretary Chen's tone, Ye Chuan secretly smiled that Secretary Chen seemed to be interested in Ran Qiuye, and accepted the invitation without hesitation. "Brother Chen, if there is a chance, I would be happy to attend the banquet together.

Maybe we can invite Mr. Qiuye to join us."

After hanging up the phone, Secretary Chen smiled with satisfaction, as if there was a subtle expression on his face.

As for what happened to Secretary Chen later, Ye Chuan had no idea.

All he knew was that Boss Xu had encountered an unexpected incident. As for whether Ran Qiuye would spend the rest of her life with Secretary Chen, and whether it would be a good thing or a disaster for her, Ye Chuan could not predict.

It was Saturday morning. After entering the office, Ye Chuan told all the salesmen not to go out for the time being.

He had learned the night before that relevant personnel from the district company would arrive at the business site this morning to announce some changes, but he was not sure whether it would be material recycling or a branch of the cooperative.

Around nine o'clock, Director Hu, financial staff from the cooperative, and some senior staff who had been in office for many years also came to the business site, indicating that they had also received the notice.

Fat sister Han Lifen was among the people who came to the cooperative. She had worked in this industry for more than ten years and was considered a veteran. "Director Ye, you may not know, but the district company called us last night and asked us to come here before ten o'clock this morning." Director Hu hurriedly explained to Ye Chuan.

Ye Chuan smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.

Before he could finish, a jeep carrying three men and women stopped in a corner of the yard.

One of them was Wang Zhiyong, the office director of the regional branch of the materials recycling company, whom I had met briefly last time.

Director Hu quickly came to greet them, warmly shook hands with a middle-aged man whom Ye Chuan had never met, and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Sun!" Ye Chuan didn't know who he held hands with, and Wang Zhiyong walked over and said with a smile: "Xiao Ye, let me introduce you, this is Deputy Director Li of our material recycling company, and that is Deputy Director Sun of the supply and marketing cooperative."

Ye Chuan hurriedly greeted them, but he was puzzled as to what mission they came to the business site for since these people did not talk about personnel matters.

At this time, Director Hu understood Wang Zhiyong's identity, and doubts began to arise in his heart. "Leaders, why don't we stop chatting here and move to the cafeteria?" he suggested.

There is no dedicated meeting room, and the cafeteria is the only one that can accommodate so many people.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Wang Zhiyong took out a document from his bag and said, “Dear colleagues, today I am here on behalf of the Material Recycling Company and the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative to announce a new appointment.

This is an innovative attempt, so we specially invited Deputy Director Li and Deputy Director Sun to witness it in person.”

Everyone stopped discussing and focused their attention on Wang Zhiyong. "I think everyone knows that Director Hu from Luoguxiang is about to be promoted to regional company management.

Therefore, Comrade Ye Chuan is now appointed as the director of this site and the director of the basic cooperative at the same time." Wang Zhiyong explained slowly.

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

This is the significance of the new attempt. In the past, the director of the cooperative often served as the director of the business point part-time. This role reversal is the first time such a model has been implemented. "In view of the unique geographical location and unclear customer characteristics of our Luoguxiang grassroots supply and marketing cooperative, the head office has come up with this idea. We hope that Comrade Ye Chuan can innovate the grassroots work, not be restricted by geography, increase popularity and form a unique identity!" The deputy director of the supply and marketing community branch said with a smile.

Deputy Director Li followed closely and praised: "Comrade Ye Chuan has always been a role model for our business sites. His business ability has been highly recognized by the headquarters and district offices. I hope you can give full play to your talents, manage our business sites and grassroots offices together, and set an example!"

As soon as he finished speaking, led by Wang Zhiyong, the audience of more than 40 people applauded warmly.

Director Hu, who is about to step down, suddenly realized that there was an important reason why Ye Chuan was fearless, and he was the biggest winner.

Of course, this is an incredible situation. Being the director of a business point and concurrently the helmsman of a grassroots supply and marketing cooperative makes the seemingly impossible become reality.

The visit of the deputy directors was not just a simple announcement of their appointments. During the nearly two-hour conversation with Ye Chuan, they discussed everything from the attitudes of the head office and the district office to the goals of change, as well as their insights on the appointment, which gave Ye Chuan a lot of gains.

At the end of the conversation, Deputy Director Li patted Ye Chuan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Xiao Ye, don't be afraid of making mistakes. This is the process of reform. Whether you are right or wrong, it will become a valuable lesson.

Go for it, because you’ve proven you can run a business site in an orderly manner, and I’m confident you can be an all-around leader.”

Ye Chuan nodded and replied: "Director, I will definitely live up to your expectations and make this place a model!" Deputy Director Shan smiled and responded: "It's a good thing for young people to be proactive, you have to work hard!"
