"Comrade Bai, how have you been at work lately? Do you feel busy? Can you still adapt to work?"

Bai Liu looked up and saw Li Jianguo, the manager of the Friendship Store, walking over and asking about her work with a smile.

"Manager Li," she rarely met and talked with Li Jianguo except when she rescued the Friendship Store and became an external employee. "Today is Sunday, does Manager Li work overtime?"

She usually works in the evenings and on holidays. She is used to working alone, but she is not used to seeing her boss.

Li Jianguo is a middle-aged man with a standard Chinese character face. Judging from his appearance alone, he is a decent man, and of course he is quite serious.

Bai Liu began to wonder about Li Jianguo's purpose today.

Are you waiting for her on purpose?She shouldn't be fired.

"I'm not working overtime. I'm here to find you. It's not easy for you to find me." Li Jianguo joked, "During this period, I saw that our counters have been adding English labels one after another. Fortunately, you..."

He praised Bai Liu's recent contributions without hesitation, but Bai Liu felt more and more uncomfortable with what he heard.

Inexplicably praising employees is a good thing, but it may not be a good thing.

"I took the salary from the Friendship Store and signed the letter of appointment. Of course I have to work hard. I am very honest and cannot be sorry for Manager Li's recommendation." She deliberately mentioned the relationship between money and goods.

Whether he wants to fire her or cut her salary, she will not agree easily.

She asked herself that she had been conscientious and conscientious during this period of time... It was a huge difference to working in a textile factory before.

Now that the salary is high, she can do more, but the leader also needs to know that she has done a lot.

After hearing this, Li Jianguo immediately waved his hand and explained with a smile: "It's okay, don't think too much. I went on a business trip a few days ago. When I came back, I found that the atmosphere in our store was very good, and the communication with foreign friends was obviously smoother. It's all because of you." Changes since coming.”

"If it weren't for the fact that you are a student and have a previous workplace, I would really like to invite you over immediately and become a member of our friendship store."

Regardless of whether what Li Jianguo said was true or not, it sounded very nice and was indeed decent for an adult.

but--

"Manager Li, if you have anything to say, please say it directly, otherwise I will be on tenterhooks." She hoped that the other party would be straightforward.

Moreover, she keenly caught the information in Li Jianguo's words just now. He said that he had just returned from a business trip and that he was looking for her today. Could it be related to his business trip experience?
For a moment, Bai Liu thought of many possibilities, but his expression did not change at all.

Seeing that she was so frank, Li Jianguo dispensed with the politeness.

"Let me tell you straight, I went to the Canton Fair and Shanghai a few days ago. Shanghai also has a foreign friendship store... Although we are the capital, Shanghai is indeed a foreign market ten miles away. We are indeed worse." Li Jianguo naturally didn't want to He is a person who seeks truth from facts even if the situation is pressing.

The atmosphere in Shanghai is different from that in the capital. There is more emphasis on business methods. After all, it was the place where countless merchants were born.

He felt a faint sense of crisis.

Bai Liu thought of what he had learned in recent days. Li Jianguo had only joined the Friendship Store as a manager at the beginning of this year. His previous job had nothing to do with running a store, so it took a lot of effort to come here.

In his opinion, Li Jianguo is a very hard-working leader.

Today's Youyi Store only deals in high-end business, and it is an exclusive business. It can be said that it can be easily operated while lying down.

Li Jianguo wants to change the status quo of "reaching out for help" and take the initiative to improve the unreasonable problems in the store. He has to say that the higher-level leaders have a discerning eye.

"I don't have a better idea yet, but I saw the new look of the store after you arrived, and I want to talk to you. Do you have any suggestions?" Li Jianguo actually came to solicit the opinions of employees.

Bai Liu was startled. She thought of many possibilities, but she did not think of Li Jianguo's "shameless questioning". "Me?" After a slight hesitation, she said honestly, "I'm new here, I know very little, and all I can do is my current job."

Let her think of a way. She doesn't have the diamond, and she doesn't dare to take the porcelain job.

Besides, the price for asking her to come out must be paid in full.

Li Jianguo didn't pay attention: "I remember your workplace is the Hongxing Textile Factory in Yongning County, Northern Province?"

She nodded.

"The Red Star Textile Factory has become famous for earning foreign exchange in recent years. I have heard about it before. Now some comrades happened to go to the newly built engineering base there. I was surprised to see your former unit." Li Jianguo did not mince words and spoke in a straight voice. Then he asked, "I contacted the Red Star Textile Factory and they mentioned your name."

"You can bring the Red Star Textile Factory back to life. I think you also have the ability to give suggestions to our Friendship Store. Comrade Bai Liu, you can't favor one over the other."

The smile on Bai Liu's face almost froze. She didn't expect the world to be so small.

Can you still give her some free space?

No.

She thought coldly that if Li Jianguo "accidentally" probed again, he might still be able to find Guan Deming.

"Manager Li was joking. Of course I am willing to make suggestions for our Friendship Store, but I don't understand and have no right to speak without investigation." She told the truth, "I used to be a tailor in the brigade, so I dared to run there when my head was hot. The textile factory is looking for the director.”

The Friendship Store is for foreign guests, not to mention that there are many noble people in the capital, so it is not her turn to speak.

If you say it right, you may not be successful; if you say it wrong, you may make others laugh.

Li Jianguo was still unwilling to let Bai Liu talk about his feelings after working for more than a month.

With no other choice, she could only talk about what she saw was wrong, avoid important matters and always answer that she didn't understand.

Even so, Bai Liu still received high praise from Li Jianguo.

"I knew your views would be constructive," Li Jianguo told him before leaving. "You are an employee of our Friendship Store. You have our store in your heart, and the store will remember you. The capital is different from a small county. Three years of With time, you learn a lot.”

Li Jianguo was quite emotional. Probably because Bai Liu was more than 20 years older, he unconsciously preached to the younger generation.

Bai Liu couldn't say anything.

She only thought that this was a decent job with a decent salary, but she never thought of taking root here.

If Li Jianguo really valued her, she couldn't just sit back and watch.

According to He Shengnan and Zhou Zhiyong, even if they are not optimistic about state-owned factories, the future of state-owned stores will not be good either.She doesn't think too highly of the Friendship Store, but in the short term, it can be used as a springboard.

Bai Liu passed by the post office on her way back to school and happened to pick up a letter from home. She sat on the roadside and read it.

Both Tangdou and Huang Fenglai are doing well, and Song Jiaying's work is also going well... Bai Liu slowly closes the letter, and the loneliness of being away from home is gradually healed.

As she stood up, she suddenly remembered the contents of the letter.

Reunion?
Maybe she should try harder? (End of chapter)
