Feng Cai teased, “Isn’t that so? Didn’t they say that you learn from your mistakes? I’ve already grown so much, so my IQ has increased.”

As Shen Ge brewed tea, he lectured Feng Cai. “Fortunately, you didn’t stay in the countryside for so many years in vain. Compared to two years ago, you have less arrogance and hostility. It’s fine to be assertive, but being too cocky might not be good for your growth.”

Shen Ge specifically said this since the reason Feng Cai couldn’t defeat his stepmother in the past was that he was too stubborn and didn’t know how to be tactful.

Feng Cai recalled how Mr, Feng had scolded him in the past under Lin Lin’s instigation, and how he had suffered because he didn’t bother to defend himself. He couldn’t help but laugh at himself.

Feng Cai recalled and changed the topic to business. “Uncle, our village is going to open a food factory after the new year. The first batch of products is cherry jam. I want to ask if your factory can prioritize us when purchasing.”

!!

Ever since Feng Cai’s biological mother passed away, Shen Ge and his wife doted on the two brothers, Feng Yu and Feng Cai. Therefore, as soon as there was a vacancy in the factory, he immediately discussed it with Mr. Feng and spent some money to get Feng Yu a job.

It was also because of this that Feng Cai didn’t beat around the bush, like he did with his other relatives and friends. He went straight to the point and told his uncle about the predicament he was facing.

When Shen Ge heard this, he asked with the same concern as Mr. Feng, “You joined the factory?”

Feng Cai told him about the mission Yu Bing had given him. After Shen Ge knew that the sales would determine whether or not Feng Cai became an official employee, he immediately said, “As long as the quality is passable, the employee rewards of our clothing factory can be decided as jam. But Feng Cai, you have to keep an eye on the quality of the products!”

Purchasing had always been a lucrative job. To Shen Ge, purchasing from anyone was the same. Since his nephew had this mission, he would definitely give Feng Cai this chance. The only requirement was that the quality had to be passable. Otherwise, if the employees felt that the quality was too bad and reported it to the higher-ups, he would be in trouble.

Feng Cai immediately smiled and promised, “Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll definitely feedback this opinion to the factory! For the first batch, word of mouth is very important. We don’t want to ruin our reputation.”

Shen Ge hinted again, “It’s best to be more particular about the quality! If it looks good and tastes good, I can help your factory fight for more opportunities in the future.”

Feng Cai was overjoyed. “Thank you, Uncle! I’ll definitely do my best! I’ll show you our products in advance.”

Shen Ge smiled and nodded.

On the other side, Feng Yu hesitated for a while before choosing to tell Mr, Feng. He didn’t know what other ways Feng Cai had, but he was worried that if the person Feng Cai found didn’t agree to help and his brother didn’t get a spot in the factory, wouldn’t he have to be a farmer for the rest of his life?

Therefore, Feng Yu told Mr. Feng about the connection between Feng Cai’s transfer and purchase of the machine. “Father, my brother said that their cherry trees will bear fruit after the new year. If the factory is willing to pay on credit, he will think of a way to persuade the village to use the fruit trees with the corresponding production value as collateral and pay them off within two years.”

Mr. Feng was silent after hearing this. After a long while, he slowly said, “I’m going to the factory director’s house. Don’t tell your brother yet.” Feng Yu revealed a happy expression.

They were going back to the village tomorrow, so Feng Cai asked his two buddies out again.

Chen Min was a little embarrassed. He didn’t help his buddy because his father was unwilling to negotiate with his supervisor.

However, because his father was a member of the factory’s guild, Chen Min finally persuaded his father to recommend the products of He Mountain Brigade’s factory on the next procurement proposal for employee benefits.

Although the outcome wasn’t very satisfactory, Feng Cai was still very grateful for everything Chen Min had done. As the two of them spoke, the other buddy arrived.

Feng Cai placed all his hopes on Jiang Tao and stared at him intently.

Jiang Tao deliberately kept Feng Cai in suspense. He said with an impassive expression, “Which news do you want to hear first?”

When Feng Cai heard this, his expectant expression dimmed. He replied in a gloomy voice, “Bad news.”

Jiang Tao said in a low voice, “My father went to look for the factory director, but it didn’t work out.”

At this moment, Feng Cai pursed his lips and thanked Jiang Tao. Although he didn’t succeed, he had to remember when others helped him.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao asked slowly, “Why didn’t you ask about the good news?”

Feng Cai suppressed his disappointment and asked, “What’s the good news?”
