Chapter 471: Chapter 464: Unexpectedly, She Tore Down the Notice
"""
The method of posting the talent list was originally seen by Sisi in a book in her previous life. It talked about a large state-owned factory that was troubled by these IOUs, and the general manager came up with this method. However, most people who tore the list returned empty-handed, and over time, no one dared to tear the list anymore.
A common middle-aged woman from the workshop finally came to tear the list. With these IOUs, she managed to reclaim all the debt within a month and earned a reward of over one hundred thousand.
It is said that this woman resorted to tearing the list because her son needed money for college. She gritted her teeth and decided to try it out as a last resort, and unexpectedly, she succeeded.
Now, the situation of our own distillery is also similar to the unit mentioned in the story. Anyway, we can’t find the right candidate, so it might be better to offer a high reward for recruitment in the workshop. Maybe there will be surprises!
Although Yuan Jin felt that this method was not very reliable, he couldn’t think of any better solutions at the moment, so he instructed his assistant to take care of this matter.
At noon when work ended, the workers in the distillery workshop came out talking and laughing, heading to the canteen to eat. However, they saw many people crowded around the main gate, packed with heads.
"Talent list, regardless of education, gender, age, anyone who can reclaim the 856,000 external debt of the distillery, will be rewarded with 2% commission and also get priority promotion."
The man at the very front, seeing that people behind couldn’t see, read it out loud. The place was instantly abuzz, and workers even forgot to go have their meal.
"2% commission, let me calculate, what’s 2% of 850,000? Oh dear, my brain is so sluggish at crucial times. Big Pillar, help me calculate quickly."
"When has your brain ever been sharp? Seventeen thousand, you can’t even calculate that."
"Goodness, seventeen thousand, am I dreaming? Seventeen thousand! I’ll do it, move aside, I’m going to tear the list."
Several people were so excited by the seventeen thousand that they rushed forward in a frenzy, shouting to tear the list. Yuan Jin’s assistant, Xiao Li, stood with a stern face in front of the list, and said, "It’s okay to tear the list, but Mr. Yuan said, during the debt collection period, no wages will be issued, the factory will only cover travel and meals. If you reclaim the debt, you get your commission; if not..."
Those planning to tear the list sobered up a bit after hearing Xiao Li’s words. Collecting debts is not so easy; if they fail to reclaim it, no commission, no wages, wouldn’t that mean empty-handed?
While a few backed off after Xiao Li’s words, there were still four or five people who signed up, all motivated by the seventeen thousand commission. Sisi took the opportunity to meet these five and chatted with them for a while.
These five, seeing that they were meeting the big boss’s daughter, became so nervous they didn’t know where to put their hands and feet, shyly standing there. Sisi shook her head and told them, "You guys better go back to work in the workshop, you won’t be able to reclaim these debts."
"Why? You won’t even let us try, how do you know we can’t reclaim it?" one of them, a bit more daring, showed a dissatisfied expression, and the others felt the same.
"You are already so shy in front of me, if you go to those debt-owing units, how could you demand debts confidently?"
The five still felt underestimated and discontent. Sisi did not say more, thinking it might be good to let them try, and the worst outcome would be losing some travel expenses.
Therefore, she drew five slips of IOUs from the pile, all from local units within the province, handing one to each person. Seeing that each was only a few thousand, they simultaneously asked, "Wasn’t it over eight hundred thousand? Why is it only a few thousand now?"
"You can’t eat a hot bun in one bite. Try to reclaim these few thousand first. Also, it doesn’t matter if you can’t reclaim the money, just don’t lose the IOUs. If you lose them, it’ll be deducted from your salary."
Sisi’s words confused the five again. They obediently took the IOUs and prepared to leave, while other workers in the workshop looked at their IOUs and started questioning in an uproar.
"""
Sisi had no hope for these five individuals, Yuan Jin asked her since she did not have any hope, why still waste money for these five to go out?
"Not experiencing it personally, how could they know the difficulty of collecting debts? These five are the best real-life examples, so that those who come to the talent list in the future will be much more cautious," Sisi said with a smile.
Indeed, three days later, these five came back dejectedly, hanging their heads in shame as they returned the IOU to Xiao Li, faces full of embarrassment.
Sisi didn’t reprimand them; she waved them off to go back to work in the factory. Naturally, the wages for these three days would be deducted by the finance department. Although it wasn’t much, since the rule was set beforehand, it had to be strictly enforced.
Seeing these five return in defeat and also losing three days of wages, the workers felt a chill in their hearts—it really isn’t easy to earn 17,000!
After half a month, fewer and fewer people came to view the talent list, and in the end, there was none. Yuan Jin planned to have Xiao Li tear down the list, but Sisi persuaded him to keep it up for three more days. If still no one came to take the list, they would think of other methods.
On the last day, when even Sisi thought her method wouldn’t work, someone tore off the red list and went straight to Yuan Jin’s office.
Looking at the woman in front of him with her lips tightly pursed, Sisi was extremely surprised, never expecting the person who tore down the list to be her.
It turned out that the person who tore down the list was the same Bai Lianhua who once had an ambiguous relationship with Zhu Xianren—Li Yuzhi.
After joining the factory, Li Yuzhi was assigned to the packaging workshop. Mei Ying said that Li Yuzhi wasn’t talkative, worked diligently, and was quick-handed, and she was considering promoting her to the lead of the group.
It seems that Li Yuzhi’s ambitions were bigger; she probably wants more than just to be a group leader.
But how does that matter? Employers don’t worry about employees having ambitions; it’s the unambitious employees that are a concern!
Although Li Yuzhi once had designs on Tian Xinhua and Sisi didn’t particularly like her, she didn’t hate her either. After such a long time, Sisi could see that Li Yuzhi had probably gone through a lot of hardships, making her someone who only cared about results, not the process, and somewhat unscrupulous. However, so far, she hadn’t done anything egregiously wrong, still within the bounds of what Sisi could accept.
"You should know that five men already went before, collecting debts is not so simple. If you can’t collect it, you will also lose your salary," Sisi reminded her.
Li Yuzhi said calmly, "I know it’s not simple. Please let me try, and if I can’t collect, losing my salary is my own incompetence."
For some reason, Sisi actually held some expectations for Li Yuzhi, feeling that perhaps Li Yuzhi might bring some surprises!
She pulled out several IOUs from within the province for her, reiterating what she previously told the five men. Li Yuzhi nodded solemnly, carefully stored the IOUs and then took her leave.
Looking at her young and attractive physique, and thinking of her past, Sisi thought about it and added, "I will ask finance to give you some extra money. It’s not very safe outside. As a young woman, be careful about your safety. Don’t choose cheap accommodation, try to stay in good hotels, even if they are more expensive, it’s okay since it will be reimbursed by the company."
Li Yuzhi was visibly stunned, seemingly surprised that Sisi would say such a thing. Gratefully, she nodded. Sisi struggled internally for a long time but eventually spoke out her final thoughts.
"These debts, even if you can’t collect them, the factory can still apply to the court for compulsory measures. There are other ways, so you don’t need to risk everything for collecting debts. Do you understand what I mean?"
Li Yuzhi’s expression changed several times, but in the end, she didn’t say anything and just nodded before opening the door and leaving.
Sisi actually didn’t want to sound so moralistic, but Li Yuzhi was an employee of her factory and was on a business trip for official business. She was genuinely worried that Li Yuzhi, in order to collect the debts, might resort to selling her body. Although these kinds of things were consensual, as a woman and an employer, she did not want to see such things happen.
