Chapter 237: Let Her Give It a Try
Director Lu’s voice suddenly rose. “Is what you’re saying true? I know the Capital Pharmaceutical Research Institute—it’s large in scale and one of the best in the industry.
If they’re willing to purchase our products, then we won’t have to worry about feed sales anymore. Little Su, thank you so much…”
After he finished, Su He coughed lightly. “Director Lu, no need to thank me. The main thing is… when I was negotiating, I bragged that I was a sales representative from your factory. How should we handle that?”
Director Lu: “……”
You dig the hole, and now I’m supposed to fill it?
Still, the girl had helped bring in an order—he couldn’t refuse outright.
“Little Su, logically speaking, since you’ve helped us so much, we should agree to whatever you ask. But we don’t have any open positions for sales staff right now, so please understand…”
Su He smiled. “Director Lu, you misunderstood. I’m not asking for a position—just help me cover this story. You know I already have too many part-time roles. Even if I wanted to join your factory, I wouldn’t have the time!”
Director Lu let out a breath. “Ah, I see. Don’t worry, I’ll help you smooth it over. I’ll also apply for a bonus for you—you won’t be treated unfairly.”
After exchanging a few polite words, Su He changed the topic.
“Director, you mentioned you’ve been troubled lately. Why not tell me? Maybe I can help.”
Though he didn’t think she could, he still said:
“You know our products mainly go to two places—exports and military supplies.
Recently, there was an issue with a shipment of dehydrated vegetables to the capital—some items were missing.
We’ve already sent replacements, but the other side is still dissatisfied.
This matter can be big or small. A phone call doesn’t show enough sincerity.
I should go to the capital in person to explain, but I just received a foreign trade order and can’t leave. And I don’t trust anyone else to handle it…”
Su He blinked. “Director, the sooner this is resolved, the better. The longer it drags on, the worse it is for us.
Since I’m already in the capital, how about I go handle it for you?”
Director Lu’s first reaction: nonsense!
You’re not even an employee—how can I entrust you with something this important?!
He was about to refuse when Su He continued:
“If you send me, you still have flexibility. If I succeed, great. If I fail, you can come personally to fix things.
At the very least, you know me—I won’t offend anyone even if I fail.”
Hearing this, Director Lu hesitated.
Su He added, “I know Elder Gu from the Foreign Trade Ministry. He has a military background—maybe I can use that connection.
Of course, this is a big matter. You should think it through carefully.
How about I give you the guesthouse phone number, and you can call me after deciding?”
Director Lu truly couldn’t decide immediately. “Alright, I’ll think about it.”
After hanging up, he went straight to Director Luo and explained everything.
Director Luo pondered for a moment.
“Elder Gu does have a military background. If what you say is true and she knows him, she might be able to build a connection.
This Su He managed to secure foreign trade orders for the food factory and the First Textile Factory—her communication skills must be solid.
Besides, she helped us deal with defective goods and brought in an order—she’s practically half one of our employees already.
Let her try.
If it doesn’t work, I’ll step in personally and turn things around. But why is she helping us so enthusiastically?”
Director Lu replied immediately, “I think she wants to become a part-time sales representative. She seems to need money—her family situation is probably difficult, otherwise she wouldn’t work this hard.”
Director Luo nodded. “This girl really isn’t having it easy. For the pharmaceutical institute order, calculate her bonus at the highest level.
And if she succeeds, hire her as a part-time sales representative with benefits matching full-time staff. If she fails, then there’s nothing we can do.”
Soon, “impoverished” Su He received Director Lu’s call.
Since it wasn’t convenient to talk at the guesthouse, she hung up and went back to the phone booth to return the call.
Director Lu relayed Director Luo’s decision and gave her some instructions.
Su He smiled. “Director, don’t worry. I’ll go tomorrow and handle everything beautifully! Just wait for my good news!”
Director Lu thought, How can I not worry?!
Who knows if this move is brilliant—or disastrous?
After hanging up, Su He smiled brightly.
The capital really is a good place—good opportunities come as soon as you arrive!
Opportunities truly favor those with thick skin!
Director Tian came over. “Little Su, judging by your expression, the vegetable factory agreed to help you cover your story?”
Su He clasped her hands behind her back. “I only wanted Director Lu to help me smooth things over, but he said I’m too outstanding—they need talent like me and insisted I become a part-time sales rep. Isn’t that something?
Oh right, they’re even giving me a bonus for this order!
My money is piling up like a snowball—I’m starting to worry about how to spend it…”
Director Tian: …I want to depose the crown prince!
Principal Chen frowned. “Little Su, I feel like it’s not that simple.”
If that were all, the call wouldn’t have taken so long.
And from their previous visit to Jin Qiao, it was clear they focused on exports and didn’t lack sales staff.
They wouldn’t hire her just because of one order.
Only then did Su He explain everything from beginning to end.
Director Tian immediately became anxious.
“Little Su, have you lost your mind?!
You’re taking on this kind of task yourself?
If things go wrong, you might even end up in jail!
If you need money, just tell me—I’ll raise your benefits. Is it worth taking such a risk for a part-time job?!”
Principal Chen also disapproved. “Little Su, Old Tian is right. You were too impulsive this time. Call Director Lu right now and refuse this. Listen to us—we won’t harm you.”
Su He smiled. “Director, Principal, I know you mean well. But I have to take this on.
If I pull this off, the part-time job is nothing—the real gain comes afterward.”
Director Tian and Principal Chen looked confused.
What does that mean?
