Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Chapter 492: Not Yielding an Inch

County Magistrate Bai took the lead in bringing up the issue of Ancheng Food Factory, and based on the information previously disclosed by Lin Chuxia, the main topic of discussion was still the resettlement of over a thousand employees of the factory.

As long as this matter could be properly resolved, other aspects were negotiable.

Today, before coming here, Lin Chuxia had already discussed this matter with Su Wensong, and she had made her mind up, having been on the same page with Su Wensong.

Su Wensong had no objections to her decision, and now Lin Chuxia spoke directly about her thoughts.

"I understand the intention of County Magistrate Bai, but as you are also aware of Xiyang Food Factory’s situation, Xiyang has been established for merely two years, with only over three hundred employees. To expect Xiyang to take on the livelihood and production responsibilities of over a thousand more employees is absolutely impossible. It’s not that I don’t want to help—it’s really beyond our capabilities," she said.

County Magistrate Bai flashed a slight smile and said, "Lin, if you say your capabilities are limited, you are underestimating yourself. You know what I value isn’t Xiyang Food Factory."

"County Magistrate Bai, you think too highly of me," replied Lin Chuxia.

For a moment, the office fell silent, only the sound of the teacup lid touching the cup could be heard.

Lin Chuxia sipped her tea gently without any rush to make a statement, while County Magistrate Bai seemed to be lost in thought.

After a while, County Magistrate Bai said, "Don’t hesitate to speak your mind. You young people always have more ideas. You know my purpose. As long as we can resettle these thousand-plus employees, the county is willing to make concessions on other conditions."

"County Magistrate Bai, asking me to resettle these thousand-plus workers is like giving me an impossible problem to solve."

Lin Chuxia stood her ground firmly.

What a joke, she was all too aware of what those state-owned enterprise employees were like. She was Lin Chuxia with a kind heart, not the Virgin Mary.

Wouldn’t it be better to use the money to serve more people in need than to support these parasites?

Moreover, while County Magistrate Bai kept emphasizing the issue of resettling the thousand-plus workers, she had yet to see any specific benefits.

With the conversation reaching this point, County Magistrate Bai understood Lin Chuxia wasn’t going to leap without seeing the rabbit.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "The County Committee and the leadership of Ancheng Food Factory have already consulted. We prioritize addressing the staff resettlement issue of the factory. We were actually more inclined to integrate Ancheng Food Factory into Xiyang Food Factory, with all of Ancheng Food Factory’s assets being used in exchange for the resettlement of its employees. The management rights of Ancheng Food Factory would also be transferred to Xiyang, while other aspects would still remain in the hands of the County Committee. This is also to take responsibility for these thousand-plus employees."

Lin Chuxia and Su Wensong exchanged glances, as this outcome was within their expectations.

But...

"County Magistrate Bai, I know that the county leaders are also considering the workers’ best interests, and the workers of Ancheng Food Factory are fortunate to have a leader like you. However, every issue has two sides. I also want to relieve the government from a tight spot, and you know my situation as well, with shallow roots and little experience. If we were to take on all these thousand-plus employees, in the end, we might fail to solve their problems, and even Xiyang’s few hundred employees might end up in jeopardy. I don’t suppose that’s what the leaders would like to see either. I’ve been thinking about this issue since our last meeting in the city, trying to find a solution that not only addresses the government’s urgent needs but also doesn’t affect Xiyang’s current production. Ideally, we could achieve a win-win situation that could also contribute to our hometown’s tax revenue..."

County Magistrate Bai nodded, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, and said, "If only all our private enterprises had your level of awareness, Lin. Go ahead, since you have plans too, let’s lay them out. Whether it’s feasible or not, let’s work together to find a solution."
