After leaving Qinghe headquarters, Wen Liang did not stay in the city. He called Zhong Congjiang and then drove to Yishan County. When passing by the Kong Puzhou Memorial Hall, he stopped and paused for a moment. The scenery during the autumn outing was gone. The surrounding area was full of busy construction scenes, various large vehicles came and went, sand and mud piled up, steel bars were like forests, and the skeleton of a five-star hotel began to take shape.
It was nearly two o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Xianbei Township. Zhong Congjiang and Fu Jinjing had been waiting at the entrance of the main street of the township. Wen Liang saw the two from afar in the car and slowly stopped the Ford Cayenne beside them.
Wen Liang leaned out of the car window and said, "You haven't eaten yet? Let's find a place to eat first. I've been rushing all the way here and I'm almost starving."
Zhong and Fu obviously didn't expect Wen Liang to not have eaten at this time. Given the conditions in Xianbei Township, they really couldn't find a suitable place to entertain him. They looked at each other, and Zhong Congjiang was the quick thinker who said with a smile, "Boss Wen, this place is not like Qingzhou. The few small restaurants here are not only not good at cooking, but also not very hygienic. How about we go to Lao Fu's house and try his sister-in-law's cooking?"
Zhong Congjiang is now full of energy, radiant, and full of drive. He is much better than the feminine and rebellious person he was when he first came to Qinghe.
Wen Liang looked at Fu Jinjing and joked, "Director Fu, asking for food is not too much trouble, right?"
Fu Jinjing nodded hurriedly and said, "As long as Mr. Wen doesn't mind, you can live in my house and eat at my place every day."
"If you really want to go there every day, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will make you sleep in the corner at night. So let's not do that!"
"If she dares, trust me, I will slap her hard!"
Wen Liang laughed and pointed at Fu Jinjing and said, "This is a bad habit. From now on, I will be the boss of my sister-in-law. If you bully her, I will deduct your salary!"
Fu Jinjing's home was not far away. It was his first visit, so Wen Liang couldn't go empty-handed. When he passed by the township government, he saw a sales agency store and went down to buy some gifts. They were nothing valuable, just some daily necessities like cakes, cigarettes, and alcohol.
Fu Jinjing tried to stop him, but Zhong Congjiang pulled him from behind, winked and said, "Old Fu, this is what Mr. Wen bought for his sister-in-law. It's none of your business. How about this, you take Mr. Wen over first, and I'll go around and buy some food."
Fu Jinjing took the gift bag from Wen Liang without hesitation and said, "Hurry up, Mr. Wen is still hungry."
Wen Liang looked at Zhong and Fu with interest. One was ambitious, the other was down-to-earth; one was scheming, the other was honest by nature. Putting them together in the first place was a helpless move because there was no one else available. He had planned to wait until the pioneering stage was over and then find another suitable person to replace them, but he didn't expect that they would get along so harmoniously. There was no conflict due to differences in personality and concepts, but instead they integrated and complemented each other very well, appearing to be full of vitality and high morale.
Just wait and see, maybe you will unexpectedly find two generals for yourself, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but hard to get a good general!
Fu Jinjing's wife is Liu Hongmei, a typical rural woman. When she heard that Wen Liang was her husband's leader, she was restrained in her enthusiasm and a little uneasy in her awkwardness. While inviting Wen Liang to take a seat, she pulled Fu Jinjing to the door and secretly complained, "You are so stupid. Why didn't you tell me in advance that President Wen was coming? We didn't prepare anything at home..."
Wen Liang was looking around the room. Hearing this, he turned around and smiled, "Sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with Director Fu. I just decided to come here at the last minute. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble," Liu Hongmei rubbed her hands and said, "Boss Wen, please sit down. I'll go get you a glass of water."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
In fact, considering Liu Hongmei's age, it is normal for Wen Liang to call her auntie, but Fu Jinjing cannot be compared with Li Shengli. If he is addressed as an elder, he will probably be scared.
"Director Fu, your home is different from what I imagined!"
After all, Fu Jinjing had been a factory manager for many years. Considering the popularity and economic benefits of Yishan Mineral Water, his home should be better than that of ordinary people, although not magnificent. But from what he saw along the way, it was no different from the surrounding houses, and even a little shabby.
Fu Jinjing understood Wen Liang's meaning. Many leaders who came to his house for the first time had such doubts. It seemed that as a factory director, he should be a rich man and his family should have a high-class family compound. Otherwise, it would be abnormal. He said, "The water plant is a collective enterprise. I am the factory director because of the trust of the elders and villagers. I have already received a lot of salary, and I am satisfied!"
Wen Liang's understanding of Fu Jinjing has deepened. The saying in "Ice Mirror" that "when you first meet a person, you should look at his demeanor, and when you know him for a long time, you should look at his spirit" is really very reasonable. For example, his first impression of Fu Jinjing was that he had some talent and could be used. Only today did he realize that he was not only useful, but could be used in a more important position in the future.
After Zhong Congjiang came back with chicken, duck, fish and meat, Liu Hongmei quickly prepared a sumptuous lunch. After the meal, the three of them drove straight to the water plant by Yunyan Lake.
It has been more than a month since Wen Liang bought the Yishan Mineral Water Factory. The tasks given to Zhong Congjiang and Fu Jinjing are nothing more than building a team, organizing departments, recruiting talents, integrating existing equipment, taking inventory and accounts, conducting centralized employee training, summarizing experiences and lessons, and other superficial and detailed things. As for the company's future positioning, development and blueprint, it is only a rough plan and has not been discussed in detail.
For Wen Liang at that time, firstly, he lacked enough time and energy, and secondly, he lacked sufficient financial support. But now, all of this is no longer a problem with the hot sales of "China Can Say No" and the profits earned by Ning Hi-Tech from the hype.
The time has come!
After walking around the factory, he met several talents recruited from all over the province in the conference room. One of them, a boy who had just graduated from Jiangdong University, caught Wen Liang's attention and stayed to talk for a while. This guy's name was Cui Buyan, a very strange name. It should be that his parents felt that he talked too much since he was a child, and that too much talk would lead to mistakes, so they named him Buyan. But it was obvious that his parents did not fulfill their wishes. Cui Buyan talked for eight minutes out of a ten-minute conversation. This was the first time Wen Liang had encountered this in his interactions with people.
Cui Buyan graduated from the School of Business Administration of Jiangdong University, where he majored in marketing. The business administration major of Jiangdong University is ranked among the top five in the country, and each class of graduates is sought after by major companies. I never expected that he would come to a remote place like Yishan, Qingzhou.
Although the salary offered by Zhong Congjiang and others when they went to Guanshan for recruitment was higher than the market average, it was not enough to justify a graduate from a prestigious university to work for a private enterprise. In 1996, college students were not as numerous as they are in later generations. Their gold content was ten times higher than that of a certain working emperor in later generations. Their ambitions were higher than one another. How could they take root in Yishan
Wen Liang effortlessly poured out his true feelings, and it turned out to be a love drama that was not too melodramatic but good enough for Qiong Yao.
To put it simply, it is a story about a spare tire and a goddess!
Cui Buyan had a crush on a classmate for four years, but he didn't dare to confess his feelings for fear of rejection. He became her best friend because he talked too much. Experienced men know that when you become best friends with a girl, the probability of becoming lovers is already negative infinity.
Why? Who has ever seen a girl pick her nose, burp, go to the bathroom without closing the door in front of the boy she likes, and let you stuff toilet paper through the crack of the door
Cui Buyan is a very tragic example. He watched the girl fall in love with other people, breaking up and getting back together again and again, until they broke up completely after graduation. He was so disheartened that he agreed to the strong request of her father, a senior official in her hometown, Yishan County, and returned to Yishan to work in the Labor Bureau.
Cui Buyan already had several job intentions at the time, including one with a Fortune 500 company, but when he saw the recruitment information of Yishan Drinking Water Company by chance, he submitted his resume without any consideration.
Faced with the applicant from Jiangdong University, Zhong Congjiang of course hired him without hesitation, so after Wen Liang listened to Cui Buyan's love story, he said casually: "Do a good job. I personally have some experience on how to pursue girls. If you have time, we can discuss it privately."
Fu Jinjing, who was listening in, couldn't help but cough, covering his mouth. His thinking was a bit old-fashioned, and it was hard for him to accept the boss talking to his subordinates like this. But Zhong Congjiang was much more flexible, and he looked at the problem in a different way: the boss was really amazing, in order to keep the top students of Jiangda, he even shared his skills in picking up girls, he was really dedicated!
Cui Buyan's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do you think there's still hope for me?"
"The man is unmarried, the woman is unmarried, and they are so close. If you don't have any hope, I don't think the girl will ever get married in her life."
"Hey, it's better not to get married, it's better not to get married..."
Wen Liang suddenly asked out of the blue, "Bu Yan, I heard from Mr. Zhong that you are fluent in German?"
Cui Buyan's resume says that he is proficient in German but not English. This is not very harmonious in the context of the national English craze. For him personally, he seems to be a little embarrassed about this. He said: "My mother teaches German at the Foreign Languages College. She forced me to learn it since I was a child. I learned English after school, but my sense of language is not right. Therefore, my German is a little better than English. I can't say I am proficient in it. I can only listen and speak, and cope with basic communication..."
"I'm really sleepy, so I brought you a pillow," Wen Liang patted his shoulder and said, "It's good that we can communicate. Prepare your personal information and hand it in to the office. Once your passport is processed, the company will send you on a business trip."
"Business trip, passport?"
Cui Buyan was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Germany!"
After Cui Buyan, who was still in a daze, left, Zhong Congjiang asked: "Premier Wen, what are you doing..." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation.) (To be continued)
