The next day, Yan Lixia had only one class in the morning.

After class, she went to the factory.

The shoe factory is located in the backyard of the company's headquarters and is the former site of the Lin Group's textile factory.

The shoe-making machines are not very sophisticated. I just purchased a batch last year.

It mainly relies on sewing machines and labor.

The factory director is Zhang Fugui, who is in charge of production and sales.

In the past few days, I have been exploring markets outside the province, and I have left the factory to Zhu Caiping.

Seeing Yan Lixia coming, Zhu Caiping quickly greeted her into the office for tea:

"I see that you don't look well lately. Do you want to see a doctor?"

Yan Lixia was indeed a little haggard and her face was very pale.

"Thank you, Sister Zhu, for your concern. I'm fine. I have an old problem, upper respiratory tract infection. I often have this problem in spring and autumn."

Saying that, Yan Lixia touched Zhu Caiping's big belly:

"On the other hand, you have a big belly and have to worry about things in the factory. You're about to give birth, right?"

"No, there are still three months!" Zhu Caiping was very calm.

People these days are thick-skinned and not so squeamish, and they can still do physical work during pregnancy.

Zhu Caiping's pregnancy reaction was just average, so she never slacked off at work.

The two of them chatted for a long time before Yan Lixia asked:

"By the way, Sister Zhu, I have something to ask you."

"you say."

"It's like this. After Ilia's Xiaoli takes charge, can I take a look at the orders she places in our factory?"

Zhu Caiping was stunned for a moment, and then she felt something in her heart and said with a smile:

"Is there anything you can't see here? I'll get it for you!"

Soon, Zhu Caiping brought the account book and showed it to Yan Lixia page by page, explaining:

"Starting from this page, there are all orders placed by Xiaoli in the first quarter."

"These are all factory records, detailed!"

Yan Lixia looked over carefully and saw that this was indeed the case.

Which product numbers are the shoes made in? How many colors are they made? Are they all sizes? How many pairs are there for one product number? How many pairs are there for all product numbers in total? Remember clearly.

Even the materials used are noted.

Zhu Caiping carefully observed Yan Lixia's expression and knew that what she was looking for could not be seen from the account book.

So, Zhu Caiping said with some meaning:

"Grandma Xiaoli is also pitiful. She collapsed from exhaustion. She has never recovered from being hospitalized for such a long time."

"Xiao Li is a filial daughter-in-law!"

"I always think about my family. When I order several batches of goods at our factory, we try to keep the cost down."

"Even the soles of the shoes are missing a layer of sponge interlayer."

Yan Lixia turned the page for a moment, immediately caught the information, and asked:

"The sponge sandwich in the sole of the shoe is not padded?"

Yan Lixia's emotional intelligence is average, but despite her high IQ, she can keenly grasp the key points from the information given by the other party.

If Si Lige or Si Xiaoxiao were here, they would understand that Zhu Caiping said this deliberately.

They would also think about it deeply. The reason why Zhu Caiping didn't say it directly was because Xiaoli's family were also from Yuanmeng County and were fellow villagers of the big boss.

Rather than looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, it is better not to offend him directly.

Although Zhang Fugui and Zhu Caiping are partners in the shoe business with Si Chen.

However, after all, there is a distinction between big bosses and small shareholders.

As the company gets bigger, there are twists and turns inside, and the interlocking of interests becomes more complicated.

The safest thing to do is to shut up.

Even if something hits you, you have to take it out safely.

Zhu Caiping continued to praise:

"Isn't that right? We don't even need the mezzanine, we only have three thin layers of cloth covering it."

"Tell me, is Xiaoli a good person at saving money?"

"If this cost is saved, won't the profit be huge?"

Yan Lixia rolled her eyes in anger:

"Xiao Li, isn't this nonsense?"

"It was precisely because she omitted this step that the shoes had numerous customer complaints."

"After all, Xiaoli doesn't know how to do it. She's not as good as her mother-in-law."

"This process doesn't cost much, so why bother?"

Zhu Caiping is also a veteran, how could he not understand this truth?

They will test the shoes repeatedly before leaving the factory. Whether there are any problems with wearing them is strictly tested.

Including how much tension the shoes can withstand, there are also machine tests.

What Zhu Caiping said was to praise Xiaoli for saving costs, but he was just saying it to Yan Lixia, so as not to offend anyone.

In fact, in Zhu Caiping's eyes, Xiaoli's batch of shoes were simply cutting corners!

Zhu Caiping could also predict that problems would inevitably arise after it was put on the market.

But that was the business of the OEM business, and Zhu Caiping had no right to interfere.

This is how large companies do things. They just complete the customer's instructions and don't even bother to say a word.

What if Xiaoli also has her own Xiao Jiujiu?

What if the money saved goes into Xiaoli’s pocket?

The brand Ilia belongs to Xiaoli's mother-in-law. Once she recovers and is discharged from hospital, Xiaoli will lose her current power.

Who knew that Xiaoli didn't take advantage of her mother-in-law's illness to make a fortune quickly?

If Zhu Caiping exposes this matter in front of Xiaoli, if the matter is exposed later, Xiaoli will not think that Zhu Caiping is talking too much?

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and wisdom can be used to protect oneself everywhere.

…

After Si Lige and Song Tianjin heard Yan Lixia tell the truth about the matter, they immediately thought of Zhu Caiping's concerns.

Yan Lixia's emotional intelligence is not high enough. Adhering to the idea that everyone is a partner, she asked:

"Tell me, do we need to tell Granny Xiaoli?"

"Quickly!"

Sili Ge and Song Timjin said in unison.

Yan Lixia still didn't quite understand, but she heard Song Tianjin explain:

"In the beginning of summer, household matters are the most difficult to resolve, so we outsiders should not interfere."

"It's easy to not be human inside and out, but in the end, we are a family."

"It is indeed a bit troublesome at the store, and we often encounter customer complaints."

"But sales performance can't lie, right?"

"Grandma Xiaoli is not stupid. She is a veteran of the world. When she sees problems with her sales performance, she must be held accountable."

This is indeed the case——

Grandma Xiaoli came to care about sales performance as soon as she was discharged from the hospital.

When she saw the financial statements, she became furious on the spot, pointed at Xiaoli and called her a prodigal woman!

Xiaoli explained aggrievedly: "The poor sales performance is due to comprehensive reasons."

"The location of our counter is not good and the customer flow is low. When there are customer complaints, Song Timjin always faces the customers and signs return forms for us at every turn..."

"You idiot!" Xiaoli's mother-in-law was so angry that she threw the financial report in Xiaoli's face:

"You think I'm as stupid as you? See for yourself!"

"Haha! You can't understand the financial statements, can you?"
