Chapter 285 The Youngest Deputy Factory Director
Shen Li was not fully awake when she felt an itch on her neck, as if tiny hairs were gently rubbing against her.
She groggily opened her eyes and saw a fluffy head—Lu Cheng was nestled in the crook of her neck, his warm breath brushing against her skin, sending shivers down her spine.
"Hahaha... Second Brother, what are you doing?" Shen Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to gently rub his soft hair.
Lu Cheng looked up, his eyes still languid from just waking up, but his gaze was fixed on her face, filled with tenderness and dependence: "Lili, I cherish you so much. The more I'm with you, the less I want to leave. What should I do?"
Shen Li's heart softened at his gaze, but she still deliberately put on a stern face and poked his chest: "That won't do. You can't be a tyrant. You have to think about our future."
Lu Cheng chuckled softly, grabbed her mischievous fingers, and gently kissed them. "Okay, whatever you say. I rarely come back, so Lili has to feed me well."
Shen Li raised an eyebrow, a sly glint in her eyes. She traced light circles on his firm chest with her fingertips, her voice sweet and seductive: "What if... I can't satisfy your hunger?"
Lu Cheng's lips curled up, his eyes darkened, and he grabbed her restless little hand, leaning down close to her ear, his breath hot: "Then I won't leave. I'll leave whenever you're full."
The two cuddled together for a while, and by the time they got up, it was almost ten o'clock.
After a quick breakfast, Lu Cheng accompanied Shen Li and the group to the machinery factory.
For the next few days, he stayed by Shen Li's side almost every step of the way, and the two of them worked together to finish their tasks. There wasn't much work left at the factory.
All the extra people went to work odd jobs on construction sites, where the pay was actually higher.
No one would be unwilling.
The workers felt not only no unhappiness, but also a sense of security – having a stable job was far more important than the fear of unemployment.
Skilled workers naturally have no shortage of work, as the factory's core production processes ultimately rely on their expertise.
As for the factory's recruitment of researchers, Shen Li entrusted the entire matter to Qin Min.
Qin Min was introduced by Yan Xiangcheng. Shen Li was slightly surprised when she heard that Yan Xiangcheng had introduced her to a woman.
However, after spending a few days together, she fell in love with this down-to-earth and capable girl from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Min's hands were covered with thick calluses, which showed that she had endured the hardships of life and was willing to work hard. She was also extremely efficient and never procrastinated.
Shen Li only mentioned to Qin Min that they were hiring and asked about the recruitment requirements. After that, she was hardly seen at the factory for the next three days.
All everyone knows is that she comes to check in in the morning and then disappears without a trace until she shows up again at the end of the workday to prove that she has arrived at work on time.
On the fourth day, Qin Min took four people back to the factory.
Shen Li didn't delay. He immediately had a research office set up in the office building and took out several basic rice cookers from his space, which he then handed to the four researchers: "Take this thing apart first, study the parts inside thoroughly, and then figure out how to assemble it back to its original state."
The crowd gathered around these novel-looking devices, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Some people had vaguely seen similar appliances before, while others were completely unfamiliar with them. Despite having all sorts of guesses in their minds, no one dared to ask.
This rice cooker looks much lighter than similar products on the market, as most common rice cookers are bulky and heavy.
With ready-made products available for disassembly and research, the progress was naturally much faster—all four of them were from science and engineering backgrounds, had already studied relevant mechanical principles in school, and had excellent grades, so they were quick learners.
However, it's not graduation season right now, so recruiting a large number of professionals isn't easy.
Shen Li already had a plan in mind: once next year's graduation season arrives, he will recruit talents in batches to conduct research on various electronic products in different fields.
For now, let these four people explore and lay a foundation.
She had prepared all sorts of tools in her lab, letting them experiment with them as they pleased, with the only requirement being that they produce tangible results.
Originally expected to take a month to fully take over the factory, Shen Li managed to get completely in control in just over half a month with the help of a group of capable people.
Lu Cheng had been in the capital for more than half a month, and it was time for him to leave.
After spending more than half a month with Qin Min, Shen Li became increasingly impressed with her abilities and directly appointed her as the deputy factory director.
Upon hearing the news, many people were secretly astonished—Qin Min was probably the youngest deputy factory director in Beijing.
As for the cashier position in the factory, Shen Li hired an experienced accountant introduced by her mother.
The elderly accountant was in his forties, wore black-rimmed glasses, and exuded a meticulous and rigorous air.
It's often said that accountants become more sought-after with age, and that's certainly true.
Shen Li simply set up a finance office and appointed the old accountant as the chief accountant of the finance office. The original accountant of the factory remained in his position, and an additional cashier was hired.
When Chief Accountant Xu first arrived, she saw that the factory's business hadn't really taken off yet, but she had already set up a complete financial team. She secretly thought to herself: This young lady probably has too much money to burn.
If it weren't for the Shen family's influence, and the fact that the wages here were half again as high as before, she would never have come.
However, since she was paid to do his job, she still diligently managed everything she was supposed to do, considering the high salary.
In the past two weeks, the factory's walls and gates have also been repaired.
As soon as the gate was repaired, the first thing Shen Li did was install surveillance cameras, just like at the villa. Shuanzi's men had done similar work before, so this time they were familiar with the process and progressed quickly.
The factory also has a dedicated security room. As for security personnel, Shen Li had already made arrangements—he would select four people from his ten to guard the factory, which would be more than enough in the early stages.
She pondered that the agreed-upon monthly salary of one hundred yuan to these four people seemed too low, and she would need to adjust it appropriately later.
The renovation of the factory interior was also put on the agenda.
At a factory-wide meeting, Shen Li sat in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, and said in a deep voice, "From now on, I will not come to the factory every day. All matters, big and small, in the factory will be handled by Director Fang and Deputy Director Qin."
"Deputy factory director?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, exchanging glances—who is this deputy factory director?
All everyone knows is that the factory has recently hired a lot of new people and plans to build a few more buildings, but the factory has not received any decent orders yet. Instead, the boss is busy building buildings and assembling a team, which is really baffling.
Shen Li ignored the crowd's questions and pointed to the two people beside him: "This person on my left is Qin Min. Starting today, she will serve as the deputy director of the factory, mainly responsible for the advancement of the laboratory; other major affairs of the factory will still be coordinated by Director Fang."
Fang Yi sat to the side, his face calm and expressionless.
