Chapter 143 Manager
The next day, Xu Man took Zhou Rong to the office to drink tea, leisurely waiting for the notification from the street office.
When the director of the subdistrict office was talking to Xu Man yesterday, his eyes kept dodging. Zhou Rong always felt that things were not that simple. She wanted to find out more, but the director was tight-lipped and sent them away on the grounds that he was busy with work.
Not long after, Zhou Gui knocked on Xu Man's office door and said that someone from the neighborhood office came to look for her.
This time, three people came from the subdistrict office. One of them had his right hand hanging in a bandage. He was wearing a Zhongshan suit and had a stern expression. He gave off an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
Xu Man was a little scared, so she stood far away and asked, "What do you want? Has the manager of the company selected someone?"
An officer said, "Yes, let me introduce you to Comrade Xu. This is Comrade Wang Chengnan, who has just retired from the army and will be the official manager of the cloth and clothing stores in the future."
Xu Man looked at the cold man and asked in disbelief, "He is the official manager of my two shops? Didn't you promise to let Comrade Zhou Rong be the official manager? How can you break your promise?!"
Another staff member chuckled and said, “I was present when Comrade Xu talked with the director yesterday. The director did not agree to let Comrade Xiao Zhou be the public manager, saying that the decision could only be made after the meeting.
After our discussion, Comrade Wang Chengnan is more suitable to be the public manager of the two shops. Comrade Xu is requested to cooperate with him in all his work. "
Xu Man: "Can I refuse?"
Secretary: "The organization's decision cannot be resisted. Comrade Xu, please actively cooperate."
Xu Man felt like she was being tricked. She was so angry that she couldn't respond. She felt extremely uncomfortable.
She wanted to kick these people out and then go to the street office to find the director to clarify the matter. Zhou Rong winked at her, signaling her to be patient.
Xu Man took a few deep breaths and asked angrily, "Do you have any new decisions? Tell us all at once."
The clerk took out a stack of documents and gave them to Xu Man: "This is the public-private partnership agreement. The conditions for the partnership are all listed in it. Comrade Xu, please sign it.
From now on, Comrade Wang Chengnan will be the manager of the two shops, Comrade Xu will be the deputy manager, and Comrade Zhou Rong will be the financial manager. The positions of other employees will remain unchanged for the time being.
Comrade Xu is proactive and enterprising, and is a role model for private business owners. After discussion among the leaders, it has been decided that Comrade Xu will be admitted as a party member. Please submit your application to join the party as soon as possible.
In addition, the names of the two shops need to be changed. From now on, the cloth shop will be called 'Dongfeng Public-Private Joint Venture Cloth Shop' and the clothing store will be called 'Dongfeng Public-Private Joint Venture Clothing Store'. If there is no problem, we will make a signboard and choose an auspicious day to reopen the shops.
During this period, Comrade Wang Chengnan will stay in the shop as the public manager to make preparations for the reopening of the two shops. "
Things have come to this point, and nothing can be controlled by her. Xu Man said with a heartache: "Since you have decided, just arrange it this way."
After Xu Man signed the consent form, the two staff members exchanged a few words with Wang Chengnan and left.
Wang Chengnan saw that Xu Man looked unhappy and seemed angry. He glanced at the container and said calmly, "Are there any goods in the warehouse? The store needs to reopen, and the container cannot be empty."
Xu Man said angrily: "We are out of stock! I am a poor capitalist and have no money to buy more goods!
Didn’t you say that after the joint venture, the means of production will be centrally allocated and used by the state?
As the manager of the public side, you are in a dominant position. You can allocate materials or buy goods on credit. Do it yourself, don't ask me!"
Wang Chengnan sighed softly. Even though he spoke so harshly, this woman really didn't recognize him. Well, there is still a long way to go.
"Give me a list of the materials you need and I'll find a way. Now take me around the shop so I can get familiar with the environment, and then show me the account book."
Zhou Rong had to sort out the account books, so Xu Man had to lead Wang Chengnan around the shop in boredom.
In order to ensure that all employees in the store would receive preferential treatment in the future, Xu Man calmed down and took the initiative to introduce the store to Wang Chengnan and introduced the employees to him one by one.
Xu Man gave a detailed introduction to what everyone did, how they performed on weekdays, and how many years they had been doing it.
When they arrived at the office on the second floor, Xu Man said, "There is only one office here. I am used to it and don't want to move. If Manager Wang doesn't mind, I will separate a small room from the VIP area next to it for Manager Wang to work in."
Wang Chengnan said calmly, "This is too time-consuming and costly. Don't bother. Your office is quite big, just add a desk. You will be a party member in the future, so you should practice hard work and simplicity."
Xu Man: “…”
Zhou Rong gave Wang Chengnan the shop's rules and regulations, account books, and the purchase list that had been prepared in advance.
Wang Chengnan flipped through the account book seriously. The densely packed numbers and accounting terms he had never seen before made him dizzy.
Seeing Wang Chengnan frowning frequently, Xu Man joked, "Manager Wang, this account book was redesigned by our Manager Zhou. All the accounts are clear at a glance. We did not evade taxes. Anyone who knows the business can understand it. You didn't turn the page for a long time. Don't you understand it?"
Wang Chengnan: "...I have been on the battlefield for many years and have never come into contact with these things. I really don't understand them. Comrade Xu, please explain them to me."
Upon hearing that Wang Chengnan had returned from the battlefield, Xu Man felt more respect for him. She restrained her temper and patiently explained to him the meaning of each item in the directory.
After hearing this, Wang Chengnan praised him, "Comrade Xu is indeed knowledgeable and knows a lot. I have learned a lot. I hope Comrade Xu will take care of me and cooperate with me in the future."
Xu Man looked at Wang Chengnan in surprise, as if she didn't expect that he, who looked so cold, could say such polite words.
Since they respected her, she naturally couldn't push her any further. She softened her attitude again and said softly, "We are all colleagues. It's only natural for us to help each other. As long as you don't cause trouble for us, everything will be fine."
Wang Chengnan: "I don't know how to run a business. The organization sent me here. As long as you don't do anything illegal, actively support the organization's lines, principles, and policies, and operate the store legally, I won't interfere too much."
After getting the promise, Xu Man's depressed mood finally improved, and she smiled and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Wang Chengnan stretched out his uninjured left hand and said, "Happy cooperation."
Xu Man shook hands with him and asked curiously, "Did you injure your right hand on the battlefield?"
Wang Chengnan: "Well, I was hit by a shell and injured my bones and muscles. I can't hold a gun anymore, so I had to change jobs."
Xu Man comforted her, "It's good to change jobs. You can be with your family and avoid worrying them."
Wang Chengnan: "I haven't started a family yet. My parents are busy and I am alone now."
Xu Man paused: "Then you can treat the shop as your home. We are all your brothers and sisters."
Wang Chengnan: “Yeah.”
