"Have you seen it?" Meng Lin suddenly saw hope in the midst of disappointment, as if he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw." When you looked at it, were there any more of these pages?”As he spoke, he flipped to the torn pages.
Ya Shuo took a look and asked in surprise,""Eh? Why are these pages torn out? They were still fine when I read them back then.”
Meng Lin was overjoyed." Can you tell me what these torn pages are about?"”
" Uh…Let me see." Ya Shuo flipped through the first few pages that had been torn out and returned the book to Meng Lin." It seems to be an introduction to transmigration. I read it a few years ago, but I can't remember it now."
" Really…you can't remember anything?" Meng Lin was suddenly splashed with cold water.
" Uh…I really can't remember. I'm sorry." Yashuo looked embarrassed.
"Is this book very important to you?" Azurepeak asked.
" Yes." Meng Lin felt like crying.
Azurepeak took the book, flipped through a few pages, and said," This book is a science fiction book. The things in it don't seem to be useful in real life. Why do you think it's so important?"
Meng Lin didn't say anything and put the book back. Ya Shuo seemed to have thought of something and said,""The fact that a few pages of this book have been torn out means that it's very popular. Perhaps other libraries will have a complete version. I'll help you look for it one day."
"Oh, really? Thank you so much."
" You must be hungry. Let's go eat," Azurepeak said.
Time always flew on the weekends. In the blink of an eye, it was time for work the next day. Early in the morning, the siblings drove to the company. As soon as they entered the office, all the staff who were working stood up and said in unison,"Hello, Young Master, Hello, Young Miss."
" Everyone, please take a seat," Azurepeak responded enthusiastically." Eldest Miss will be coming to work with me from today onwards. She's a newbie in the company, so please take care of her."
"Hello, everyone. Please help us." Meng Lin was also very polite. The employees clapped their hands together to welcome him."Young Master, your family is so polite. We're all very happy to work for someone like you."
A sweet-looking female employee said,"This must be the young miss who came back from overseas. She's really beautiful and so cultured."
" Haha, alright, everyone get busy. I'll bring Meng Lin around to familiarize himself with the environment," Azurepeak said.
Azurepeak brought Meng Lin into an office and said,""This is your office. The one next door is mine. Your current position is the deputy general manager, and I'm your superior, the general manager. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
Meng Lin's eyes widened as she surveyed her surroundings. Although the office was decorated in a classical manner, in line with the style of the Republic of China, and was surrounded by wooden furniture, it was not as luxurious and bright as a 21st-century office. However, she had become a deputy manager overnight and had an independent office. She felt as if she was dreaming." I…am already a deputy general manager?”She still couldn't believe it and wanted to confirm it again.
"Hehe, this is Father's arrangement. Grandfather handed the company to Father, so he respects Father's opinion. Father hopes that we siblings will grow up as soon as possible, so he thinks: The best way is to let us do it.”
" Father, you really know how to manage things." Meng Lin admired his father more and more.
"These are all your office supplies. Uncle Wang has already bought them. If you need anything, feel free to look for Uncle Wang. He's an old accountant in our family business. He's a very good person and has principles.”
Meng Lin immediately took the position of the deputy general manager. She could not wait to clench her fists and shout,"Yay ~" But she held it in. Such a silly action couldn't appear on the daughter of the Republic of China. It would scare the people around her, especially her serious brother in front of her. "Brother, I want to work now!"
"Hehe, you're already in character?" Azurepeak smiled.
"Yes, I want to use the fastest speed to make everyone look at me in a new light.”
"Okay, follow me to the factory immediately."
The factory was a very large place. Every worker was working hard, and there were no other people." Grandpa is in the local specialty industry. Currently, the three companies are in the local specialty industry. Other than some casual snacks, there are also mahogany combs, tobacco pipes, porcelain, and other crafts. There are also fabrics and clothes. Come, let's familiarize ourselves with all the products and cost prices.”Azurepeak said as he took a book from a table in the corner of the factory and handed it to Meng Lin.
Meng Lin flipped it open. The book was very thick. There were many words and data written in it, stroke by stroke. It was not easy to finish reading it in a short time." Brother, can I take it to the office to read?"”
"You can, but if you want to master the work as soon as possible, you can't just sit in the office. You have to experience it yourself in the factory. In the beginning, I treated myself as an ordinary worker. I worked and ate with everyone all day long so that I could familiarize myself with the work as soon as possible. More importantly, I learned to understand the people's feelings.”
"If big brother can do it, I can do it too. From today onwards, I want to become one with everyone."
"Hehe, you're really motivated. As expected of the descendant of our Xia family. You're really different from the other daughters of other families. Come, let's go and see the quality of the products we've purchased this time.”
They came to a warehouse. There were some sacks on the ground. The sacks contained all kinds of finished melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts, and other snack foods. Qing Feng grabbed a handful of melon seeds and looked at them carefully. He showed them to Meng Lin and said,"What do you think of the quality of the melon seeds this time?”
Meng Lin looked at it carefully and said," The grains are full, the board is flat, the grains are big and well-proportioned, the color is bright, and it's very dry. I think it's not bad."”
Azurepeak laughed." Hehe, I didn't expect you to be an expert. I underestimated you." Then, he grabbed a handful of peanuts from the sack beside him and said,""Look at this."
"These peanuts look very small, but they are longer than ordinary peanuts. There might be three of them. These peanuts are especially fragrant.”
" Hehe, look at this." As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of chestnuts.
" Small chestnuts are sweet, while big chestnuts are fragrant." Meng Lin felt a sense of accomplishment. He felt that his brother did not get him wrong.
"Haha, not bad."
"Brother, why does Grandpa make local specialties?”
"Local specialties are a kind of food for the masses. If the poor eat it, the rich will eat it too. However, we will divide these products into three grades: refined, ordinary, and non-processed. The refined products are suitable for leisure food in bars and dance halls. Many of the leisure snacks in bars and dance halls in Shanghai are from our family. Ordinary processing is suitable for people with middle-end consumption levels, and non-processed is suitable for people with low-end income. They usually buy it themselves and cook it themselves. This way, they can save a processing fee.”
"I see. Then where are the mahogany combs, tobacco pipes, and porcelain?"
"Oh, those are the goods from the other two factories. Come, let's go take a look."
Azurepeak drove to another factory not far away. The machines in the factory were rumbling, and the workers were busy on the assembly line. Meng Lin came to a large box and casually picked up one of the finished tobacco pipes in the box to examine. The tobacco pipe was not too big, but it was exquisitely made. It was pure black, and one could tell that it was of high quality at a glance. There were even flow-like patterns engraved on it. Meng Lin placed the tobacco pipe in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Azurepeak walked over and asked,"How is it? Does it look good?"
"Brother, what kind of wood is this?”
"To make a pipe, you must use date wood because the wood of date wood is very hard and thin. Its biggest feature is its resistance to fire.”
"How hard is it?"
Azurepeak picked up the tobacco pipe in Meng Lin's hand and smashed it against the machine. The result was shocking. There was actually a small pit on the side of the tobacco pipe that was smashed.
Azurepeak was stunned on the spot." That's not right. I didn't use too much strength. The jujube wood wouldn't be so soft." After saying that, he picked up the box and examined the few tobacco pipes for a while before saying,""Strange…strange…"
Azurepeak did not give up. He picked up a few tobacco pipes from the box on the ground and observed them." How could this be?”
"What's wrong, brother?"
"The tobacco pipe should be made of date wood, but two-thirds of the tobacco pipe in this box is date wood, and one-third is not date wood. It's very cheap poplar wood. Poplar wood was much softer than jujube wood. If it was made into a pipe, it would definitely not be able to withstand fire. If it were to spread to the market, it would definitely affect the reputation of our products.”After Azurepeak finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. He walked to the depths of the factory, opened several boxes on the ground, grabbed a few finished tobacco pipes, and examined them carefully." It's really strange. Every box is like this. Most of them are jujube wood tobacco pipes, and occasionally, there are a few Yang wood ones. What's going on?”
Just as the siblings were confused, Uncle Wang ran in from outside the factory. He looked panicked and said breathlessly,"Young Master, I've been looking for you for a long time. They said that you came to this factory. Something bad has happened."
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang?"
"Master Wu called. He said that the tobacco pipe he bought from us burned out after a few uses. It's not a jujube wood tobacco pipe at all. He spent jujube wood money to buy Yang Mu's tobacco pipe. He said that he wants to return all of them and wants us to double the compensation.”
"What?" Azurepeak was shocked.
