Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Staying True to Our Original Aspiration

In the presence of such a wise and capable elder as Mrs. Zhou, Yue Xiaofang had nothing to hide.

She shared her thoughts completely and honestly.

"I’m thinking it would be best to find some skilled widows without reliance on a husband’s family, unattached, along with girls who cannot marry due to their family’s poverty, or women who have been sent back to their parental home by their husbands and are unwanted there," she said.

Yue Xiaofang sought these specific kinds of people not only out of kindness but also for a very important reason.

Only women without attachments and reliance truly understand how precious opportunities are.

Given even a slight chance, they would desperately strive with gritted teeth.

To grasp at a lifeline and pull themselves out of the mire.

The potential such people could unleash was also the greatest.

Whereas those women who had familial concerns sometimes tended more to think of their own families, even cleverly scheming to subsidize them.

Yue Xiaofang had encountered such situations before during recruitment when she discovered frequent thefts in the warehouse for a while.

Yue Xiaofang, meticulous and literate, checked the accounts every week and quickly noticed irregularities.

When she discreetly investigated further, she discovered that the prime culprit was a woman who appeared rather honest.

Although the woman tearfully begged for forgiveness, Yue Xiaofang had long since shed her submissive character and called the police immediately.

After the police arrived, the woman had no choice but to confess completely.

She had seen that the company’s products were good and wanted to take some back to her in-laws to save face for herself.

Even though there was an employee discount at Yue Xiaofang’s company, it couldn’t compare to the allure of free goods, tempting her to take a chance.

She also thought that since Yue Xiaofang usually smiled, even if she got caught, a good cry and plea might soften her up.

Little did she know that Yue Xiaofang was relentlessly impartial.

In the end, the woman was convicted of theft; not only did she have to return the money, but she also ended up with a criminal record, making it unlikely that many would dare employ her in the future.

Following this incident, Yue Xiaofang reflected deeply and decided that it was essential to introduce a charter.

She specifically asked Yue Jiandong for a managerial talent to create more stringent rules and regulations.

Each group would select a leader, report and record any merchandise damage promptly.

Inventory checks and signing-off would be conducted weekly by different group leaders.

Responsibilities were divided from groups down to individuals.

Competition between groups was based on performance, and a rotational system ensured prompt issue detection, preventing collusion.

With a perfected system in place and an example already set for the consequences of misconduct, the atmosphere became much cleaner, deterring anyone from attempting any mischief.

Everyone knew that Yue Xiaofang’s workplace offered exceptionally good benefits and never mistreated anyone; losing such a job over short-term gains would truly be foolish.

This was also the most crucial reason Yue Xiaofang and Mrs. Zhou set strict hiring criteria.

Mrs. Zhou finally understood. "Alright, these kinds of people actually exist in every village. I think we should also look into the neighboring villages."

When Yue Xiaofang heard Mrs. Zhou’s words, she realized that the old lady was not only familiar with Daye Village but likely knew the surrounding villages just as well.

She couldn’t help but admire her even more.

"Then I will need to rely on you to screen them for me," she said.

"The work here isn’t hard, and the salary is high—plenty of people would love to work here," Mrs. Zhou said with a smile, reminiscing about the past.

"When you get old, you tend to reminisce. I remember the last time I saw you in my yard, you were a timid young girl. Now you have certainly grown up," she continued.

Yue Xiaofang blushed. "I was just too foolish before."

"Well, we often need to fall quite a bit before we can really grow," Mrs. Zhou said, growing more fond of Yue Xiaofang with each passing moment.

She used to lament how difficult the world was and how hard it was for women to live.

But now, Yue Xiaofang was not only living an exemplary life but also thinking of extending a hand to women who had once been in the same situation as her.

Remembering her roots, that was very good.
