Outside the airport, Zhou Xiaohong looked up and glanced at the passenger plane that had just taken off from the airport, with a strange expression on her face.
Xia Lei thought of her nervousness on the plane and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, you have left the airport now, are you still nervous?"
Zhou Xiaohong smiled sheepishly, "Brother Lei Zi, it's my first time to fly, so don't laugh at me."
Xia Lei said: "What's so funny about this? After the branch in Shu is built, you will fly a lot. You have to get used to it."
Zhou Xiaohong looked a little nervous, "Brother Lei Zi, do you want to transfer me to the branch?"
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Isn't it good? Your hometown is here, your family is here, and you are familiar with the environment here. Isn't it a good thing that I let you be in charge of the new company?"
"Ah?" Zhou Xiaohong was stunned on the spot, "Am I in charge of the new company?"
Xia Lei nodded, "Well, that's what I think. You are the most suitable candidate."
Zhou Xiaohong is just a junior high school student with a low level of education. The mechanical processing skills he knows now were learned from Xia Lei. They are not good, let alone proficient. Judging from these aspects, she is very reluctant to be a workshop director, let alone lead a branch. But Xia Lei has his own considerations, because what he needs is not a very capable person, what he needs is a trustworthy person who will not cheat him and harm him, and Zhou Xiaohong is such a person, even if someone holds it He would not betray his people even if the knife was placed on her neck.
How could Zhou Xiaohong expect to get this level? She shook her head like a rattle, "Brother Lei Zi, I can't do it. I really can't do it. I don't have the ability. It's hard enough if you ask me to manage a workshop. You If you ask me to manage a company, I can't do it."
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Managing a company is not as complicated as you think. You only need to manage a few people. Look at me, am I not often away from the company? The company continues to operate as usual."
"But... there are so many capable people in the company, why choose me?" Zhou Xiaohong couldn't figure this out.
Xia Lei said: "Because I believe in you, that's why."
Zhou Xiaohong was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she understood something. She nodded heavily, "Well, Brother Lei Zi, I won't let you down. I will try my best to do a good job, but... if I can't do it well, you can't do it well." Don't blame me."
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Let's go, let's find a hotel to stay at."
But Zhou Xiaohong said: "Brother Lei Zi, when you arrive in Shu, you will go to my house. How can I let you stay in a hotel? Go to my house. It's only an hour's drive away. Well... if you don't mind it."
"What are you talking about? It's your home, let's call a car." Xia Lei made the decision readily. He was not born with a golden key in his mouth. In the five years after his father Xia Changhe disappeared, he lived like a dog. In his heart, he never had the element of looking down on ordinary people.
One of the most obvious features of western development is transportation. Going out of Shudu, you can see wide roads everywhere, covering this ancient basin like a spider web. The journey to Zhou Xiaohong's home is also a high-speed one, and it takes more than an hour. Her home is in a small mountain village called Matsu, in the middle of a farmland, with several newly built tile-roofed houses and a large bamboo forest. It was raining lightly when I went there, and the bamboo forest was covered with a thin layer of mist. The scene was not gorgeous, but it had a unique and elegant charm.
Zhou Xiaohong's parents are both honest farmers, very simple and kind-hearted. When they heard that Xiaohong's boss was introduced, the two old people were very excited and got busy, killing chickens and ducks, and going to the fields. Pick vegetables and treat Xia Lei well.
Zhou Xiaohong prepared a room for Xia Lei and replaced all the bedding with new ones.
Zhou Xiaohong's family was busy, and Xia Lei was a little embarrassed, "Xiaohong, tell uncle and aunt not to be busy. I feel embarrassed for you to be like this."
But Zhou Xiaohong said with a smile: "Brother Lei Zi, you saw that this tile-roofed house was newly built, right? And the electrical appliances and furniture in the house are also new, right?"
Xia Lei didn't understand what she wanted to say, but he still nodded, "Well, yes."
"Then do you know that this is all because of you?"
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "Because of me?"
Zhou Xiaohong smiled sweetly, "Yes, because of you. If it weren't for you to take me in, my family wouldn't be able to build a new house, buy these furniture and appliances, and even my brother wouldn't have money to study. Not only did you You took me in, gave me a bonus, and offered me such a high salary. Almost all the money I earned was sent back, and life at home became easier. You are a noble person in our family. Can they not treat you well? ?”
Xia Lei smiled sheepishly, "What do you think about noble people but not noble people? Don't say that again in the future."
Zhou Xiaohong said: "Brother Lei Zi, just leave them alone and do as the Romans do. Just let our family entertain you."
Xia Lei had nothing to say. Indeed, he was kind to Zhou Xiaohong for taking in and nurturing him. The Zhou family can live a good life now because of his kindness. Now that he has arrived at the Zhou family, he will not be treated well by others. It’s really a bit unreasonable.
Zhou Xiaohong took off her shoes and crawled to the bed to spread new sheets for Xia Lei. Her buttocks were raised high, and a plump and mature shape appeared in front of Xia Lei without any concealment.
Xia Lei looked away awkwardly. He remembered when Zhou Xiaohong first came to Thunder Horse Studio. Ma Xiaoan was still there at that time. She was so dirty that she couldn't even hide her toes in a pair of Jiefang shoes. Her current income is considered adequate, but she is still reluctant to buy high-end clothes. Most of the clothes she wears are cheap ones that cost about a hundred or ten yuan. The pair of jeans she was wearing at the moment had this type of cheek. There was no comfort or texture at all. They simply outlined her buttocks in a round, full, and upturned shape. But it was this kind of cheap clothing that gave her a simple and natural sexy look. Aren’t all girls from ordinary people’s families like this
"Sister! I'm back!" A slightly childish voice came from the window.
Zhou Xiaohong had just finished laying out the sheets, so she climbed down from the bed and said with a smile, "It's my brother who's back."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tough-headed boy ran in from the door. He couldn't wait to see his sister, but when he found a strange man standing in the room, he restrained himself and looked a little embarrassed.
Xia Lei smiled at the young man.
Zhou Xiaohong then said: "Xiaohu, what are you still doing? Quickly call Brother Lei Zi. He is my boss."
Zhou Xiaohu blushed and called out shyly: "Brother Lei Zi."
He obviously knew who Xia Lei was.
Xia Lei patted Zhou Xiaohu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Study hard and make money in the future. Be nice to your sister, you know?"
"Yes." Zhou Xiaohu responded, looking very serious.
Zhou Xiaohong said: "Xiaohu, go and help your parents cook. I'll take brother Lei Zi out for a walk."
Zhou Xiaohu went to help with the cooking, and Xia Lei followed Zhou Xiaohong out of her house and walked along a country road.
In Xia Lei's impression, the west was relatively backward, but when he got here he realized that this place was actually not backward at all. With the development of the western region, the economy of the western region has long been different from what it used to be. The changes that can be seen are that the residential buildings here are pretty good and there are many cars on the road. These are all reflections of the increase in people's income. Also, although this is a rural area, the roads are all cement pavement, and there is no mud even on such a rainy day.
After walking for a while, Xia Lei saw a large number of factories and office buildings. He was moved and asked, "Xiaohong, what kind of company is that? Why is it so big?"
Zhou Xiaohong said: "That's not a company, it's our industrial development zone here. Many foreign companies come here to build branches. I heard that the government gives great discounts. Land is very cheap. There are also various policies discounts.”
Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "The geographical location here is good, it is only an hour's drive from the capital of Shu, and the transportation is convenient. If you build a factory here, you can easily get raw materials and export the products. More importantly, it is cheap to get the land, and it is also easy to export." With preferential policies, it is an ideal place to open a branch factory." Thinking of this, he continued: "If I want to build a new factory here, who should I contact?"
Zhou Xiaohong said: "Just contact the government. The local government makes the procedures simple."
Xia Lei looked at Zhou Xiaohong and suddenly smiled, "You brought me here on purpose, right?"
Zhou Xiaohong chuckled like a silver bell, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Brother Lei Zi. You said you wanted to build a factory in the west, so I thought my hometown was suitable. I'm very familiar with the environment and people here. I can help Get busy."
"Okay, take me to the industrial development zone. We'll pick a piece of land and then talk to your government." Xia Lei couldn't wait.
"Yes." Zhou Xiaohong jumped forward and led the way. At this time, she was like a big girl who has not yet grown up.
Along the way, I passed many houses, roadside shops and so on. Those villagers all knew Zhou Xiaohong. Some villagers greeted Zhou Xiaohong cordially, but some other villagers talked quietly.
"Isn't that the girl from Old Man Zhou's family? She went out for less than a year, and the money she sent back was enough to repair the house and buy furniture and appliances, at least hundreds of thousands. She is really capable."
"Hey, who doesn't know? I heard that she is being taken care of by someone outside. She relies on a big boss and doesn't have to do anything. She can just take care of her in bed."
"That big boss can't be the young man next to her, right? It doesn't look like that. How can there be such a young big boss?"
"It's so impossible. Look at his demeanor. What is he other than a big boss?"
"Oh, so Xiaohong is lucky. Maybe someone will marry her."
"Old man Zhou is so lucky. My girl goes out to work. Damn it, she asks me to send her money every month..."
These words fell on Zhou Xiaohong's ears, and her ears turned red. Xia Lei was always calm, just chatting and just listening to it. Otherwise, could he still go over and have a quarrel or even a fight with someone? That's not necessary.
When the two entered the development zone, their gossip disappeared. Xia Lei followed Zhou Xiaohong around and really fell in love with this place. The roads in the development zone extend in all directions, each with six lanes and very wide. There are divided plots of land on both sides of the road, some of which have factories, some are under construction, and some are wasteland covered with weeds.
Walking to an open space, Xia Lei said, "Xiaohong, wait for me here, I'll go in and take a look."
"Well, okay." Zhou Xiaohong's face was still a little hot until now, and her head was still echoing with the villagers' gossiping words, which made her very embarrassed.
Xia Lei walked to a clump of grass, opened the zipper, and observed the open space in front of him with his eyes.
Suddenly there were footsteps coming from his body, and Xia Lei was startled, but before he could zip up the zipper, Zhou Xiaohong's "Ouch" sound came from behind her, and then she covered her face and ran out of the open space as if running away.
Xia Lei was actually quite embarrassed, but he pretended not to know and left the open space after urinating.
"Brother Lei Zi, I..." Zhou Xiaohong looked nervous, fearing that Xia Lei would be unhappy.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "This is the land."
Zhou Xiaohong said in surprise: "Ah, you decided just by taking a pee?"
Xia Lei, "..."
