A palace coup was resolved by Yu Zhou and his companions without incident.
Even if this matter, to be precise, had little to do with Yu Zhou.
It was only when Liang Xiaohai asked the supply and marketing cooperative people to take a stand that the bosses in the non-staple food industry were finally brought under control.
But even so, Yu Zhou felt a sense of pride.
A factory, especially one with over two hundred employees, was never something that Yu Zhou alone, with his capabilities, could perfectly resolve.
Now, as long as everyone worked together and still felt a sense of belonging to the factory, all his efforts would not have been in vain.
Even if they were bullied by those people, he would still have the confidence to defeat them step by step.
For him, external pressure was never the most important thing; the most crucial element was always internal unity.
And in reality? At a time when everyone was worried about their own livelihood, winning over people's hearts was the cheapest.
You only needed to provide these employees with a meal, and they might not be loyal to you forever, but at least for a short period, it would be very effective.
Yu Zhou was, of course, well aware of this. In such an environment, he not only provided these employees with a meal, but he also ensured they ate their fill, so much so that their bellies were brimming with goodness.
Only then, whether they were grateful or not, Yu Zhou was unsure, but it was certain that in the short term, they would not be able to leave.
"I only now realize that managing a factory is not easy."
In Xiao Feihu, Qin Feng, drawing on his recent experiences, felt a sense of感慨.
After all, even when he followed his sister, he rarely came into contact with such tedious matters.
But since he started following Yu Zhou, the miscellaneous affairs had never ceased.
Was it difficult to open a factory? In his previous thoughts, perhaps not very easy, but certainly not this difficult.
However, when he saw Yu Zhou repeatedly handling matters, with various decisions being implemented under his guidance, he finally realized that he had been too naive.
To completely control a factory, especially one with so many employees, one truly needed capability.
Even if the factory were handed over to him directly, with no capital investment and him being responsible for profits and losses, Qin Feng might only be able to watch the factory collapse.
This was because the details and various other杂事 involved were too numerous. He did not believe that with his current abilities, he could establish a foothold in the factory industry.
"Actually, as long as you find the knack and gain some experience, these things are not easy, but they are not necessarily that difficult either."
Yu Zhou smiled subtly. Hadn't he himself had such thoughts in the past?
However, after gritting his teeth and enduring this period of development, you would gradually get used to it.
In a factory with two to three hundred people, each worker had different ideas, especially in a factory undergoing reform, where the previous employees were people with high status and official posts.
Was it that easy to completely subdue them? However, even if he had to resort to tactics, Yu Zhou had to secure absolute authority in the factory.
Because the dried fruit factory was now his factory, he would not allow, nor would he be willing, for a few strangers to dictate things within his factory.
If he needed to manage it himself, even if Qin Siyue wanted to interfere with the factory's current affairs, Yu Zhou would still be somewhat unwilling.
"Some people are suited for these tasks, just like you, and just like our deputy factory director Liang Xiaohai. Some people are naturally not suited for them."
"Now, I'm not discouraged, but I've truly recognized my shortcomings. I'll just honestly continue to be your subordinate!"
Qin Feng chuckled dryly and scratched his head, saying half-jokingly.
It wasn't that he couldn't master the factory if he studied hard, but he knew that taking this path and truly managing it step by step would be an incredibly difficult undertaking.
Qin Feng might have the intention of helping his sister, but he was by no means someone with an extremely strong career ambition or a great desire for personal gain.
Therefore, when it came to delegating power, he did not mind his sister delegating power at all. He was even happy to see such a factory managed by someone competent.
"There are still things you need to learn, otherwise, you would be letting down your sister's intention in sending you to me."
Yu Zhou could naturally see Qin Feng's thoughts. Although he himself might not have such strong ambitions, his sister desperately wanted her brother to succeed.
If not, Qin Siyue wouldn't have sent Qin Feng away from her side with such an admonition as "don't come back unless you've learned something."
On this point, both Yu Zhou and Qin Feng were well aware, but their attitudes differed.
"Don't worry, even if I don't have great ambitions, I know right from wrong, and I will do my best to learn. But what I can achieve in the end is not something I can control."
Qin Feng chuckled, but he did not stop Yu Zhou from continuing.
After all, he knew the purpose of his being here, and he also knew how sad and disappointed his sister would be if he truly gave up.
This was not the outcome he wanted, let alone that he himself did not want to waste his life. At least he wanted to learn some skills and become a decent businessman.
"Huh? The house is empty? It's already past six in the evening, this shouldn't be right! Where's Xiaojie?"
Returning home, Yu Zhou looked around the house in surprise but couldn't find his wife anywhere.
Logically, his wife should have gotten off work by this time, and perhaps even prepared dinner waiting for him to eat together.
Why wasn't there a call today, and she wasn't home? This was not like Jiang Jie's usual behavior.
It wasn't that Yu Zhou couldn't live without his wife, but it wasn't a holiday or a Sunday, so Yu Zhou couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Oh! You're back?"
"Wait a moment, I'll go make dinner now!"
Suddenly, a familiar exclamation from the doorway interrupted Yu Zhou's thoughts. He saw Jiang Jie's face flush slightly the moment her eyes met his.
Even her tone became flustered as she hurried towards the kitchen, wanting to quickly prepare a meal for her husband as a way to cover up.
"Wait a moment!"
Her behavior, rather than helping, only made Yu Zhou more curious.
