CHAPTER 70: CHAPTER 70: ENVIABLE POSITION

Sure enough, when she entered the space in the evening, she found that the two plots of land with green onions had already matured.

With a wave of her hand, she discovered a surprise.

She had actually harvested ten thousand pounds of green onions.

What’s going on here?

Jiang Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

Does it even have increased yield effects?

She checked for a long time.

Finally, Jiang Xiaoxiao understood.

Actually, there’s always been a display screen, but she never paid attention to it.

She only realized it now.

The space now has three plots of land; the first plot is only one tenth of an acre, and what people call an acre is ten tenths, so you can’t notice with just one tree planted.

But the second plot is actually three tenths of an acre.

The third plot is nine tenths, almost equal to an acre.

No wonder the green onion yield was so high all of a sudden.

Now there are more than twelve thousand pounds of green onions on hand.

Just overnight.

Jiang Xiaoxiao showed a smug smile.

Since there’s no issue with the green onions! Then I’ll think of planting potatoes.

Potatoes have high yields, getting ten thousand pounds shouldn’t be hard.

Jiang Xiaoxiao moved quickly.

Finished up quickly and came out.

She got up to wash her face and brush her teeth.

No one was in their own yard.

Fan Xiuying had long said that today she was going to deliver paper boxes to the match factory.

The old lady and old man went for a walk.

Having finally come to the city, the old lady and old man went out for a stroll.

The main point was last night, their daughter and son-in-law discussed with them that they would be living in the city in the future, and take care of the food.

The old couple, though worried, couldn’t bear to refuse seeing their son-in-law and daughter’s attitude.

Thinking they’ll stay for a couple of days first.

They’d mention going back only after the granddaughter leaves.

Can’t trouble the kids.

So it was quiet with no one at home.

Jiang Xiaoxiao got excited.

Her dad and brother must have gone to the fleet.

Now she’s all alone.

Worrying about how to get these green onions to her uncle?

Isn’t this a rare opportunity?

Without saying anything, Jiang Xiaoxiao went under the awning in their yard.

Their yard is very big.

Considered to be the best yard around here.

Fan Xiuying is also a neat person.

The yard is cleaned up spotless.

Now it’s to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s advantage.

...

"Xiao Fan, what’s going on with the green onions? I’m telling you, don’t ignore it, this year the residents’ living security and winter supplies depend on us, remember, to serve the people is not tiring."

Director Hao sipped tea from his mug, sitting on the chair acting like a leader giving a lecture.

Fan Jianshe wanted to curse.

Just one day, you want me to produce it, do you think I’m a god?

Damn it.

But he couldn’t curse, he had to endure.

What if this bastard becomes the director of their supply and marketing cooperative later, then he’d be the top boss, can’t offend him.

All he could do was smile and say.

"Yes, leader, I’m working on it, working on it! Certainly won’t delay serving the people."

"You better not just talk, I’m telling you if you can’t accomplish this task and delay serving the people, you’ll lose your bonus, everyone better pay attention. Do your job.

Also, Fan Jianshe, just look at yourself, always loafing around, is that any way to behave! I’m telling you, this afternoon you have to bring me the green onions, otherwise by the third day you tell me you can’t complete the task, then who are you gonna ask me to find in an emergency?"

Director Hao was just looking for trouble.

Anyway, if he’s unhappy, everyone has to be unhappy too.

A call came from the district in the morning saying district leaders would come down to inspect the task.

What tasks does their supply and marketing cooperative have?

Isn’t it just these day-to-day supplies?

If anything is not complete, they’ll get scolded.

When the leaders come to check, this is his chance to perform well, so he turned his attention immediately to Fan Jianshe, thinking it’s an opportunity to set an example.

Why choose Fan Jianshe?

Mainly because Fan Jianshe had offended this Director Hao before.

Director Hao’s relative raises pigs.

Their cooperative wanted pork to go to his relative’s house.

Director Hao hinted to Fan Jianshe in every way.

It meant to use the backdoor.

But who knew, Fan Jianshe acted blind, completely pretended he didn’t hear.

In the end, he stubbornly refused.

Actually, such a small matter for Fan Jianshe was just a lift of a finger.

Why didn’t he agree?

Because he knew privately about Director Hao’s relative.

Raising pigs quite dishonestly, especially some sick and dead pigs, mixed them in and sent them together.

Although Fan Jianshe normally acted casually, talking mischievously without any seriousness.

He had a moral compass.

On matters of principle, he would never compromise.

So even though Director Hao hinted openly and subtly for a long time, he still did not agree.

In the end, he even reported this matter to Director Song, letting Director Song criticize Director Hao.

Since then, Director Hao held a grudge against Fan Jianshe in his heart.

Now with Director Hao wanting to be promoted, naturally couldn’t have a good attitude towards Fan Jianshe.

Fan Jianshe panicked.

"Director, didn’t you say three days? This afternoon, it’s only the second day, you are trying to push me to death!"

Director Hao responded in a peculiarly insidious way.

"What do you mean I’m pushing you to death? This is a task from the higher-ups, I’m just passing the task to you. If tomorrow passes and you can’t complete it, then who do you think I should ask to explain to the residents who need the green onions the day after tomorrow.

Am I supposed to shrug just like you and tell them there’s nothing that can be done?"

Honestly, he was just stirring things up.

"Director Hao, don’t be so excessive. Although, you might become the director later, but with such narrow-mindedness and lack of responsibility, you aren’t a good person. Don’t think I’m scared of you, I’m a permanent employee."

Fan Jianshe was truly angry.

Originally three days for ten thousand pounds of green onions was already heavy and urgent.

He finally had a bit of progress, but now the director changed his mind suddenly, this is clearly bullying him.

"Fan Jianshe! Mind your attitude, even though I’m not the director yet, I’m still half your leader.

I’m also the deputy director. This is a task given by the higher-ups, not me personally targeting you.

You are a permanent employee so what? Does being a permanent employee mean you should fail to complete tasks from the higher-ups? I’m telling you, if you don’t bring me ten thousand pounds of green onions this afternoon. You won’t be getting your salary this month."

Director Hao was being deliberate, standing on the moral high ground, after all, this was a task from the cooperative, not him personally targeting you.

Even if he targeted you, the issue is clearly laid out on the table.

Any leader wouldn’t say Director Hao was at fault.

Fan Jianshe was furious.

"Xiao Fan, young people should be calm. Don’t say I didn’t warn you, I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve walked on the road, you should at least respect me. Better do your job properly, otherwise, you can’t blame me.

If you really can’t do the business job, then work something else in the cooperative, don’t just occupy the post. Still gotta make use of talents."

This sentence revealed Director Hao’s true intention, frankly, he wanted to get rid of Fan Jianshe.

Although Fan Jianshe was a permanent employee, he couldn’t fire him, but changing his position with some excuse for him making mistakes was normal.

Keep in mind, jobs in the cooperative were ranked, especially the procurement work outside, it had some perks.

These were positions everyone was envious of.
