Transmigration: Flirted with My Childhood Sweetheart

Chapter 324: Chapter 323: This is Wisdom and Kindness!

Tian Qingyuan’s phone call came in at precisely three o’clock.

He said there was good news and bad news—

The good news was, after a show of hands, the factory agreed to the decision of setting up a temporary branch at Ten Miles Team, and they would send an accountant and a quality inspector to take charge of the branch’s work;

The bad news was, the Ten Miles Team branch needed to bear the entire load of match processing and transportation tasks for Lan County Commune and ensure stable completion with quality and quantity guaranteed.

To Lin Nianhe, these two pieces of news were one good news, and an even better news.

Was that a task?

No, that was all money.

If the folks at Ten Miles Team couldn’t finish, wasn’t there still Nine-miles Team? Even including Nine-miles Team, still can’t finish? There were still other teams!

If all the teams were mobilized and it was still not finished... then she would have to make a speech on "Opening Sources and Cutting Expenditures for the Four Modernizations—Starting with Saving a Matchstick." There definitely was a problem with waste that needed someone to be held accountable.

Lin Nianhe did not hesitate too much before agreeing, stating resoundingly, "Uncle Tian, rest assured, we will definitely guarantee the quality and quantity of the product, and you also don’t need to worry about transportation. Even if we have to brave the winds and snow to deliver to each Cooperative Society on our backs, we won’t delay the supply schedule."

Tian Qingyuan said with a laugh, "Alright, if you’re free tomorrow, come over to my place. Even though it’s a temporary branch, we still need to have the necessary procedures and documents."

"No problem, tomorrow at eight, I’ll find you at the match factory."

"Okay."

Lin Nianhe hung up the call and then dialed the team headquarters’ number.

Li Dahe might have been standing by the phone these past few days, as he picked up after just one ring, "Hello, is this Lin Nianhe?"

"It’s me, Uncle Team Leader."

"Oh oh, how is it going? Didn’t run into any trouble, right? Didn’t get into fights or arguments, right? Can you get enough food when you’re outside?"

Lin Nianhe’s heart felt warm, and she said with a laugh, "We three are all doing well, don’t worry. I wanted to report to you about the match factory."

"As long as everyone is good... Ah, then tell me, how’s it going? Are they letting us work for them?" Li Dahe sighed in relief and cleared his throat, then put on the air of the big team leader again.

Lin Nianhe’s voice sounded a bit hesitant, "We can work alright, it’s just that we need to cooperate with the match factory’s requirements."

Li Dahe felt a chill in his heart, but still said, "Cooperate, full cooperation! How do they want us to cooperate? Do we need to deliver goods to them, don’t we? It’s fine, none of this is a problem... Miss Lin, you talk well with them, as long as they let us work, even if they give us a bit less money, it’s okay."

"That’s not it," Lin Nianhe struggled to hold back her laughter, "it’s just that they want to operate a temporary branch at our team, and have us handle the entire Lan County’s match supply... Sigh, Uncle Team Leader, do you think this is a bit too tiring?"

Li Dahe finally caught the mischievous smile in Lin Nianhe’s voice.

He glared and ground his teeth.

If Lin Nianhe were in front of him right now, he would have definitely kicked her.

Always making fun of him!

Li Dahe panted heavily for several breaths before he belatedly realized, "What are you saying? They want to set up a branch here with us? Is the Factory Director out of his mind, or does he have something on you?"

Lin Nianhe: "..."

Couldn’t anyone think towards her intelligence and kindness?

Was she the kind of person who would threaten others to get what she wanted?

...

"Sister Lan, if you really don’t want to go, it’s not that you can’t, it’s just that I might end up with sore arms from carrying too much stuff, and then I won’t sleep well and won’t be able to get up, and then I can’t talk business with Factory Director Tian, and then our work will be blown, and then..."

Wen Lan: "Shut up, let’s go!"

Wang Shumei silently gave Lin Nianhe a thumbs-up: "You still know best."

Lin Nianhe flicked her braided hair and, pulling Wang Shumei, plodded after Wen Lan out of the guesthouse.

Is this a threat?

No, it’s a reasonable analysis of what might happen in the future.

The three of them got on the bus to the bookstore, and Wang Shumei finally remembered to ask Lin Nianhe, "Nianhe, what exactly are you thinking about persuading the match factory to open a branch?"

When Lin Nianhe spoke about it, she really didn’t think it would come to pass, but the match factory actually agreed.

Besides finding it unbelievable, she also thought that there might be more to it than meets the eye.

Lin Nianhe simply replied: "Didn’t think much about it, this way we won’t have to deliver goods to the provincial city, right? Earn more."

Wang Shumei: "..."

Just because she didn’t want to deliver to the provincial city, she convinced the factory to open a branch at their doorstep.

Is this something a person can do?

Lin Nianhe, shaking her foot while leaning back in her chair, mumbled to herself, "I’ll go talk to the match factory about wages tomorrow; box gluing is box gluing, transport is transport, can’t just muddle them together and gloss over it."

Wang Shumei: "..."

She’s going to fleece the match factory!

Lin Nianhe continued to mutter: "Once done with this side, when I get back, I’ll find an opportunity to take a stroll through the textile factory. Many of our comrades in the Ten Miles Team know how to sew. It wouldn’t be bad to take on some work making Head Flowers."

Wang Shumei: "..."

Alright then, the match factory isn’t alone, another victim factory is about to take the stage.

Now Wang Shumei has only one thought — Lin Nianhe deserves to make money!

It was right for Lin to take them to the bookstore since the clerk still remembered her from the last big purchase; as soon as she walked in, she was reminded, "Comrade, we close at six."

The notion of overtime wasn’t a thing at that time; she couldn’t possibly accompany her through another three or four hours of shopping.

Lin Nianhe cheerfully said, "No worries, buying less this time."

"Then that’s good, take your pick."

An hour later, the clerk gave Lin Nianhe a complex look and said shakily, "That’ll be a total of one hundred and seventy-two yuan and eighty cents."

Is this what she calls buying less?

The clerk was arm sore from the math!

Wen Lan had an even more tragic expression than the clerk’s, for a simple reason — she had to carry half of the books.

She knew she didn’t want to go shopping with these two!

After paying, Lin Nianhe cheerfully nudged Wen Lan with her elbow: "Sister Lan, you..."

"I know, I’m carrying!" Wen Lan rolled her eyes at them and bent down to pick up the books.

Could she really expect these two silly girls to carry anything?

Seeing her pick up half the books, Lin Nianhe said, "I meant to say, you and Sister Shumei watch the books here, I’ll go find a tricycle."

Wen Lan: "..."

Finding a tricycle was a good move.

But why didn’t she say so before she picked up the books?

To appease Sister Lan and to avoid getting hit herself, Lin Nianhe let Wen Lan sit on the tricycle with the books back to the hostel, while she and Wang Shumei squeezed onto the bus.

During rush hour, the bus was packed, and Lin Nianhe was almost running out of breath.

Wang Shumei dragged her into a corner where they could barely stand steady.

They had just stood there for a short while when they heard someone seated nearby complaining to their neighbor, "Who knows what the Factory Director was thinking, why on earth run off to such a tiny, shabby place to open a factory..."
