The car was driving on a country road. After passing a section of asphalt road, it entered a dirt road. The road was being repaired and many stones were paved. It looked like it was about to be paved with asphalt or cement.
"We will prepare to pave it with cement after the Chinese New Year, and the road will be easier to walk by then," said the village chief sitting in the back seat of the car.
This section of road leads to the tea factory alone.
As soon as the village chief spoke, the children who were also sitting in the back row glanced at him.
The village chief smiled at them awkwardly.
He was forced to get off the motorcycle. Because he was not wearing a helmet, his life was considered to be in danger and he could not drive any further.
The village chief looked forward and glanced at the child Tan Xier sitting on his left.
It was her! She tried every possible means to get him to get in the car.
He couldn't refuse his warm hospitality and had to get in the car.
Tan Jin'er wanted him to sit in the passenger seat, but he declined. He was embarrassed to sit in someone else's seat, so he squeezed into the back row with the children.
There were four children in the back row, plus him as an adult, so it was a bit crowded.
Especially the little one, the little one, was almost invisible and was squeezed in and swaying among the crowd.
The road was full of potholes and the car drove very slowly, but it was still very bumpy.
When passing by a big pothole, the car shook even more violently. The village chief didn't pay attention, and his body tilted. All the children immediately fell to the side, and they made a lot of ouch sounds.
"Help, help, help -"
The one who called for help was Xiao Bai. She was the smallest and was already squeezed between the crowd. As soon as everyone fell down, they pressed her on the seat, almost squeezing the child.
Xiao Xiaobai has a sad face, why is she so unlucky~
"Don't cry, Xiaobai, be strong, be strong!" Xiaobai encouraged her and fed her chicken soup for the soul.
Xiao Xiaobai was in such miserable condition that he was about to lose his strength.
Xi'er also quickly offered comfort and encouraged her to hold on a little longer.
Since the two young ladies thought so highly of themselves, Xiao Xiaobai gritted his teeth and said that he would just hold on for a while longer.
The village chief was embarrassed the whole time.
He really wanted to get off the car, turn around, and ride away his motorcycle parked on the roadside.
Fortunately, the car finally arrived at the tea factory. The tea factory had already received the news and knew that the big boss was coming to inspect today, so someone was guarding the gate. As soon as they saw the off-road vehicle appearing, they immediately opened the gate and stood aside to welcome it.
Zhang Tan lowered the car window and thanked them for their hard work.
Seeing this, Xiaobai nodded and said thank you for your hard work.
The car stopped in front of the office building. The village chief was the first to get out of the car, and then he carefully protected Xi'er from the car.
Xiaobai got out of the car door on the other side. Xiaobai stood on the ground and hugged her, while Dunzi was behind him to help her.
The tea factory has been completely renovated. Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, lights and colors are everywhere, making it very festive.
Most of the staff in the tea factory have gone home for the New Year, and the only people left here are those who maintain the daily operations of the tea factory.
Although most of the employees in the tea factory come from nearby villages, especially Baijia Village, there are also some technical staff who are recruited from outside with high salaries.
These people had gone on Spring Festival holiday a few days ago and left Baijiacun two days before Zhang Tan came to Baijiacun.
Most of the remaining people are from nearby villages, such as Baijia Village.
Today, because of the arrival of Zhang Tan and his party, the village chief called some of the village staff back.
As soon as Zhang Tan got out of the car, he greeted the staff who were waiting for them in the yard and wished them good luck.
Tan Jin'er followed beside him. After seeing this, he thought for a moment and then smiled at everyone as a farewell.
The actions of the two adults immediately caused the children to imitate them. Xiaobai and Xi'er also raised their hands and said, "Wish you a good year!"
Xiao Xiaobai was so focused on the preserves in her hands that she didn't realize it. Her aunt felt that her little friend couldn't be rude, so she grabbed her little friend's hand and squeezed it.
Although my little friend is a little person, he still needs some courtesy.
Xiao Xiaobai bared her teeth and claws, thinking that her little aunt was coming to snatch the preserves from her hand, and she almost went crazy.
Oh my God, she seems to have never tasted such sweet candied fruit. This is so delicious!!!
Xiaobai murmured something about melon seeds, and left without conscience. He found Xi'er and told Xi'er that there were sweet candied fruits for Xiaobai to eat. He asked her if she wanted to eat them. If she wanted to eat, she could go to Xiaobai.
.
Xi'er was really fascinated, as if she was possessed by something, and walked towards Xiao Xiaobai involuntarily.
Xiao Xiaobai had just been harassed by her little aunt, and now she was very wary, like a little puppy guarding its food. When she saw Xi'er coming, she immediately became extremely vigilant.
"Thank you for your hard work. I have to come over today to work overtime even though I have a holiday. Thank you!" Zhang Tan expressed his gratitude to everyone.
He knew that his arrival would definitely trouble some people, and he even called him from home, but there was nothing he could do. He hadn't visited the tea factory for more than half a year, and there was no way he wouldn't miss it when he returned to Baijia Village.
He specifically told the village chief to minimize the impact.
People with high emotional intelligence immediately responded loudly: "It's not hard work. We should also thank the boss for providing us with the opportunity to work at home. How many people envy us, how can this be called hard work!"
His words resonated with everyone present, and everyone expressed their gratitude to Zhang Tan.
It’s not that they have never gone out to work, it’s because they have gone out to work that they know how rare it is to have a job at home. Moreover, the work in the tea factory is not hard, and the wages are very good in the local area. They have no problem.
Satisfied.
Listening to everyone's thanks, Tan Jin'er couldn't help but look at Zhang Tan. There are many rich people in the world. She works in a hotel and has seen all kinds of big bosses, but it is difficult to be a respected rich person.
It’s very difficult, most rich people can’t do this.
Zhang sighed: "We have good mountains, water, and tea here. Good natural resources should be fully utilized to create value for local people and improve their lives. Thanks to everyone for their hard work this year, the tea factory can develop rapidly this year."
, inseparable from your efforts.”
He turned back to look at Tan Jin'er, who immediately understood and handed over a briefcase he was carrying.
Zhang Tan opened his briefcase, took out a stack of red envelopes, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Every time you give out a red envelope, you have to say "Thank you for your hard work and have a happy New Year."
And everyone will respond with "Thank you, boss, thank you for your hard work, boss."
No one expected there would be a red envelope, and the village chief didn't know about it either. He even received one.
Zhang Tan didn't know how many people would be present today, so he prepared as many as possible. After all the staff on site had distributed them, there was still a thick stack in the briefcase.
After sending out the last one, a child suddenly appeared and looked at him eagerly.
Zhang Tan smiled, took a red envelope, and gave it to her too.
"Those who have seen it have a share, so keep it."
Xiao Bai took it in his hand curiously, looked at the red envelope, and looked at his uncle. He was confused about the concept of red envelopes.
