"Let me assign tasks to each of you now."
"Songnian, Zezhen, Wenlin, Lan'er, you'll be working with me as my assistants."
Xu Songnian was tasked with handling the accounts, involving cost and profit calculations, and wage distribution—essentially, he would occupy a pivotal role in financial matters.
Xu Zezhen would manage dispatching goods. The workshop shipped out many items daily, and physical tasks like these were better suited to men due to the requirement of strength.
Xu Wenlin was responsible for receiving goods. Raw materials were shipped in from various places, and Wenlin's meticulousness, patience, and, most importantly, her strong judgment skills made her ideal for the job. During one training session on receiving goods, she identified a five-pound discrepancy in a shipment of twenty-some bags just by sight.
Thus, Wenlin was the perfect candidate for this role.
