When Cao Chunyuan's car drove within the area of ​​Dazhangzi, it was already 17:01 in the afternoon, and the sky was already starting to get dark.

"Zhigang, are you still used to coming back this time?"

While driving, Li Zhigang secretly glanced at the rearview mirror and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Chunyuan not looking at him.

"Mr. Cao, I have recently been organizing a fleet of vehicles to help the cannery haul construction materials. It feels similar to when I was delivering fruit in Yanjing. The biggest difference is that the time is more fixed and there are more people working."

"Then do you prefer to be in your hometown or in Yanjing?"

"of course"

Li Zhigang instinctively wanted to say that he was comfortable at home. After all, he was a local gangster in Dazhangzi, and he is still the leader of the team. Now, compared with the days when he was delivering goods every day in Yanjing, I don't know how much more comfortable he is now.

However, he suddenly thought that Cao Chunyuan would definitely not ask him such a question for no reason. If he answered that it would be better to stay in his hometown, and Cao Chunyuan asked him to stay in his hometown in the future, wouldn't he be dumbfounded?

So, this is a gift question.

"Of course I'll stay with you, Mr. Cao. If you hadn't taken me with you, Mr. Cao, I don't know what I would be doing now. Now I can be considered a somewhat career person, and I plan to follow you from now on."

"Haha~"

Cao Chunyuan smiled and shook her head, smiling noncommittally.

In Cao Chunyuan's view, Li Zhigang is a bit clever and has a very flexible mind. It's okay to let him do small things. However, he is not enough to take on big responsibilities.

Now Cao Chunyuan is about to let go of her hands and do something big, and there are not many people around her who can use it easily.

After all, Li Zhigang was also her relative and considered one of her own. It was impossible for Cao Chunyuan to really let him drive and deliver goods.

During these two months in Yanjing, Li Zhigang performed fairly well, and Cao Chunyuan was ready to promote Li Zhigang.

"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious. Do you prefer to stay in your hometown for development, or do you want to go to Yanjing, or do you want to visit more big cities?"

"this"

Li Zhigang originally wanted to muddle through, but Cao Chunyuan did not give him a chance. After struggling for a moment, he said: "Mr. Cao, to be honest, I prefer living in my hometown. After all, I grew up in this land.

However, I know that if I stay in my hometown, my whole life will basically be like this. I really want to follow you and see more of the outside world."

Cao Chunyuan was quite satisfied with Li Zhigang's answer. She was certain that Li Zhigang would never have said such a thing two months ago. It seemed that he had really grown up during this period.

"Zhigang, we are all relatives, so I won't be polite to you.

As you know, I have more and more work at hand now. Our hometown has Chunyuan Agricultural Research Center and Delicious Cannery, and there is also Chunyuan Fruit Store and Longfeng Chengxiang Cake Shop in Yanjing City.

When I came back this time, I said I was organizing everyone to do planting and leading the villagers to get rich together, but actually it was for myself. Chunyuan Fruit Store will expand to Jizhou Province next year, and I need more fruit sources.

Moreover, I am also planning to expand into food and vegetables.

You and I have performed well during this period, and I see it in my eyes. Do you have any ideas for the future?"

Li Zhigang took a deep breath. He felt that his hands holding the steering wheel were shaking slightly. He was so nervous that he didn't even dare to look up in the rearview mirror.

"Cao, Mr. Cao, I don't have any ideas. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

‘Haha’, Cao Chunyuan smiled and shook her head, looking through the car window at the farmland on the roadside.

The main crops grown in Dazhangzi Township are corn, sorghum, and millet. At this time, most of the crops in the farmland have been harvested, leaving only piles of corn stalks lying alone in the fields.

"Two days ago, I wanted to go to the fields with my mother to harvest corn, but before we could go, the corn had already been collected and delivered to our house. He also said that he would help us harvest next year.

Haha, he may have even forgotten that a few years ago he had a long quarrel with my mother on the field over a row/column of land.

But now, he doesn't ask for anything in return.

Oh, maybe he wants to get his son a spot in the cannery!"

At first, Li Zhigang felt that Cao Chunyuan's words did not match the preface and the latter. After careful consideration, he found that Cao Chunyuan's words had profound meaning.

In the past, Cao Shien was paralyzed in bed, and there was only one woman and three children at home. Everyone thought that the old Cao family was easy to bully. Now, Cao Chunyuan has gained strength, Cao Shien is also preparing to run for village chief, and the Cao family has risen!

Those who bullied them in the past are now gathering around them to show their kindness. This is the charm of money.

"Mr. Cao, I know what you mean, but I also know myself.

It’s okay if I do it with you, but if I do it by myself, I’ll probably lose my money.”

"Haha, you are quite self-aware."

‘Uh~’, Li Zhigang smiled awkwardly, unable to answer Cao Chunyuan’s words.

"Are you interested in a fruit shop?

If you are interested, I will help you invest in two stores in Qinglong City next year. You are already a grown man, and it’s time to start your own business."

Li Zhigang used to be responsible for delivering goods to Chunyuan Fruit Store and knew the profit-generating ability of Chunyuan Fruit Store. However, he had little interest in running a fruit store.

What's more, he also thought about developing in Yanjing in the future and bringing his parents to Yanjing, so he was not very interested in Cao Chunyuan's proposal.

"Mr. Cao, I still want to be by your side."

Cao Chunyuan twitched the corner of her mouth and cursed you in her heart. I think you look down on Qinglong City. Don't look at the fact that Qinglong City is inconspicuous now. In a few years, Qinglong City will be developed.

By then, Qinglong City may not necessarily be worse than Yanjing.

"Are you not interested in the vegetable and grain stores either?"

"Yeah, I still think it's best to follow you."

‘Haha’, Cao Chunyuan sneered, but she did not directly expose Xiao Jiujiu in Li Zhigang’s heart.

"Then you should continue to work in your old business and engage in transportation!

That’s it for this year. Next year I plan to set up a professional freight company. By then, the business will not only be for us to deliver goods ourselves, but we will also take on outside work.”

"Oh~"

This time Li Zhigang became interested, and he said very excitedly: "Mr. Cao, actually I wanted to tell you before, it is really profitable to run transportation now. I met two truck drivers in Yanjing before, and they

I travel between the north and the south all year round, mainly transporting fruits and the like.

They can earn tens of thousands in shipping fees from one trip, and they are still the kind of people who rush to find them."

Cao Chunyuan is aware of the situation Li Zhigang mentioned.

She also knew that the reason for the high freight costs was that large trucks were too expensive for ordinary families to afford. Also, truck drivers were a relatively rare profession in the 1990s, which led to the high freight costs.

However, Cao Chunyuan does not want to get too involved in freight transportation in the short term. She is planning ahead and preparing for expansion next year.

"Haha, then you are interested in the freight company?"

Li Zhigang nodded quickly, "Interested, interested!"

Cao Chunyuan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and asked with a wicked smile: "What if I ask you to choose between me and the freight company?"

In an instant, Li Zhigang's face turned ashen and he looked in the rearview mirror with a sad face.

"Mr. Cao, please stop teasing me, you are just teasing me!"

"Haha, I have been reading more books recently. If you perform well, I will promote you next year!"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Cao!"
