A good life starts with blind date

Chapter 302 The Chicken Wasn't Even Closed
Jiang Ning hadn't originally intended to hit anyone, but Feng Yu's words changed her mind.

I couldn't resist the urge to take action.

It's been a long time since he's reasoned with anyone. When he was a nobody, there weren't many ways to solve problems, and fists were the most effective. After he became successful, he had more ways to solve problems, and resorting to violence was the worst option.

Different levels of expertise naturally lead to different problem-solving approaches.

But this locksmith was really annoying today.

Maybe not bad, but definitely not a good bird.

There are many people like this among the masses. It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong, so Jiang Ning rarely sympathizes with others. What the eyes see is not necessarily the truth. The evil of ordinary people is the true nature of this world.

I'm interested in practicing martial arts.

But his wife was watching him intently.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to let the locksmith go. In the end, the two brothers drove the locksmith away.

After searching around the house, I found quite a few antiques.

The most valuable items are the old photos.

It records my youthful days.

Feng Yu packed up several photo albums, preparing to take them back with her.

Suddenly I saw a two-inch black and white photo, so I took it out and looked at it carefully.

The photo shows a chubby little boy, about one or two years old.

He was still wearing open-crotch pants, and his penis wasn't even locked up.

The photos are crystal clear.

Feng Yu asked, "Who is this?"

Jiang Ning glanced at it: "My brother."

Jiang Hua immediately clarified: "It wasn't me, it was Jiang Ning."

Feng Yu glanced at the two brothers, somewhat uncertain.

He then looked at Chen Huiru.

Chen Ruhui chuckled: "It's Jiang Ning."

Feng Yu laughed: "Oh my, you can still find photos of me when I was one or two years old. I don't have a single photo of myself when I was a child."

Jiang Ning wanted to tear up the photo, feeling it tarnished her glorious image.

Unfortunately, Feng Yu had already put it away.

After waiting for a while, the farm staff arrived.

After Jiang Ning gave them some instructions, the two brothers left with their wives and children.

The house can't be fixed for now, and the leaking problem can't be solved in the dead of winter either. It can only be dealt with next spring. We can only clean up the collapsed shed for now and wait for Dad Jiang to come back to handle it. The two brothers don't know how to deal with these things either.

In the car.

Feng Yu pulled out the black and white photo again and laughed as she looked at it: "You were so chubby when you were little, the little birds were all outside."

Jiang Ning's lips twitched: "Tear it up, tear it up."

"Why did you tear it up? I don't have any photos of myself from when I was a child."

"What's so interesting about this piece of junk?"

"Without this photo, how would anyone know what you looked like as a child!"

Feng Xue listened with curiosity and patted the passenger seat.

He reached out his hand.

Feng Yu turned her head to look at it and then handed the photo to her.

Feng Xue took it, looked at it, and smiled.

She smiled with her lips pursed.

Shortly after returning to the villa, Jiang Ning received a call from the county.

I went to the county.

Boss Zhu is back, and he seems to be in a bad mood.

I don't know if it was criticized by higher-ups.

However, upon seeing Jiang Ning, Boss Zhu instantly composed himself, had his secretary brew him a cup of fine tea, and warmly invited Jiang Ning to sit down on the sofa, saying, "The county has discussed it, and it wouldn't look good for you to completely withdraw, making it seem like the county is abandoning you after using you. How about you retain some shares and continue to serve as chairman?"

Jiang Ning pretended not to notice the probing in his words and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then I'll keep 1%!"

"1% is too little."

Mr. Zhu said, "5% looks better."

Jiang Ning nodded: "That works too."

After sitting for about ten minutes, we finished our business and took our leave.

Boss Zhu even got up to see him off.

Deliver it to the door.

After finishing her conversation with Boss Zhu, Jiang Ning got busy.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the county, and within two days it became the talk of the town.

Many people sought out Jiang Ning, including business owners from the provincial investment company, large and small.

Even Qi Ze heard the news and called to inquire about it.

After a few days of dealing with it, I received a call from Australia.

An agreement has been reached with the CTC.

Jiang Ning flew to Australia and completed a large transaction.

They acquired more than 200,000 acres of land.

Before waiting for Mr. and Mrs. Jiang, they flew to Africa to check on the progress of the gold mine.

With such a generous reward, the overlay layer is almost completely cleared.

There are only some finishing touches left, and mining can begin after New Year's Day.

As the month draws to a close, kindergartens are also on holiday.

Jiang Ning flew to Australia to pick up her parents and niece and bring them home.

With New Year's Day approaching, the farm is filled with a festive atmosphere.

Everyone, from top to bottom, is preparing for the annual meeting.

Xincheng Hotel is also preparing to hold its annual meeting together this year.

This year's annual meeting was quite high-profile, with a lucky draw on-site. In addition to home appliances such as refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines, there were also electronic products such as mobile phones and computers. But the most enviable prize was ten Camry cars.

The prize has been purchased.

Everyone was eager and ready to have good luck.

Farm and hotel staff are looking forward to it.

The employees at the second factory were green with envy, but rumors were circulating that the big boss was going to withdraw his shares, leaving the more than two thousand employees feeling abandoned, as the adopted son's status was not as high as that of the biological son.

Some employees took photos of the prizes in the warehouse and posted them on their WeChat Moments and short videos.

It spread like wildfire, and almost everyone in Bei'an knew about it.

That's pure envy, jealousy, and resentment.

In the office, Jiang Ning was writing furiously at her desk.

The amount of the year-end bonus has already been decided.

But he personally handled the year-end bonuses for management.

After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote a list.

Call the finance department in and have them implement the plan.

Just as she finished her work, Kong Fangfei came in with another list.

"Take a look at the list of invitees."

In addition to farm and hotel employees, some other people will be invited to attend this year's annual meeting.

Besides people from the county, there are also some farm and hotel customers.

Jiang Ning glanced at the list briefly; there were over a hundred people on it.

Too lazy to look at each one carefully, he said, "That's fine for now, hurry up and make the call."

Kong Fangfei nodded and asked, "How should the lottery be set up? Should we include everything in the draw?"

"That won't do."

Jiang Ning said, "It's one thing for the cell phones and computers to be taken away, they're not worth much. But the car is definitely out of the question. How can something worth 200,000 yuan be given to outsiders? It must be kept for the employees. You can set up the process so that no one can tell."

Kong Fangfei said, "Then let's draw the prizes in several rounds, interspersed throughout the program. Let all the guests go up to draw in the first round, but don't include the cars. Draw the cars later, so that even if someone guesses it, no one will say anything."

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

Even amidst the hustle and bustle, she didn't forget to practice singing.

Performing on stage as a family is of great significance and must be taken seriously.

Maximize the sense of ritual.

Unable to cope.

Practicing at home wasn't effective, so they had Jiang Wei book a private room at a karaoke bar and sing karaoke every night.

We were busy until the last day of 2024.

Everyone else was busy, but Jiang Ning had nothing to do.

After lunch, I went to the staff activity center. The venue had been set up two days ago, and workers were moving things over, piling the prizes on the left side of the stage. It looked very festive.

The heavy items that were too difficult to move were not brought over and are still in the warehouse.

You can pick it up directly after the annual meeting.

Around four o'clock, the people from Xincheng Hotel also arrived.

Help with the preparations.

We were busy until six o'clock, then went to the cafeteria for lunch together.

Jiang Ning didn't go home; she ate at the cafeteria instead.

After dinner, I went with Lao Yang to wait at the entrance of the staff activity center.

After dinner, the employees came over one after another, all dressed smartly, having changed their clothes.

Even the ranch staff came; all the farm workers were out tonight. Jiang Yuling came alone, without her husband or daughter.

After working on the farm for three years, the woman changed a lot. Although she still didn't talk much to people she didn't know, at least she was no longer afraid to interact with people. The pigs she raised were plump and healthy, and everyone who ate them said they were delicious.

"boss."

Where are your husband and daughter?

"You didn't let them come?"

"Why won't you let us come?"

Jiang Ning said, "Your husband is also a farm worker. Everyone gets a share of the activities. Go and call him over."

"This……"

Jiang Yuling hesitated; her husband was mentally unstable.

Attending the annual meeting will definitely lead to some embarrassing situations.

So many people...

Jiang Ning said, "Go quickly, and bring your daughter with you."

Li Fumin also urged, "Go ahead, go ahead, I told you to come along."

Jiang Yuling felt helpless; she could ignore what others said.

But you can't ignore what the boss says.

I had no choice but to ride my electric scooter to the ranch again.

A short while later, she arrived with her daughter and husband.

"Hello, uncle!"

Jiang Yuling's daughter got off the electric scooter and politely greeted Jiang Ning.

"Okay, you're all grown up now."

Jiang Ning touched his head. He remembered seeing this little girl for the first time three years ago. She seemed to be only seven or eight years old, but she was actually nine. She looked younger because of malnutrition and was dirty. She would hide behind her mother whenever she saw people. Before he knew it, the little girl was already twelve years old.

The farm provided excellent food and drink, and my height grew rapidly.

Jiang Yuling didn't buy a house in the county town. She couldn't rely on her husband, so she had to take him with her. Her daughter lived on the farm and rode an electric scooter to school. She was the only employee's child who lived and ate on the farm.

"Hehe, boss..."

Jiang Yuling's mentally challenged husband, Wang Baozhu, also wanted to greet the boss, but he looked like a kindergarten child, which attracted the attention of the employees who were entering the venue. Jiang Yuling quickly pulled him away and led him into the venue.

Old Yang was moved by the scene and sighed, "It really wasn't easy."

Jiang Ning nodded in agreement; this woman really had a tough time.

Not only does she have to take care of her daughter, she also has to manage her husband.

After chatting for a few minutes, people from the county came over.

Two large buses drove in, and Boss Zhu and the second boss got off first.

Jiang Ning and Lao Yang went over to greet them, shook hands, and exchanged a few pleasantries.

After escorting the people into the venue, Kong Fangfei led them over to their assigned seats.

The first five rows were all decorated with name tags.

Jiang Ning and Lao Yang couldn't sit still, so they chatted for a few minutes and then came out to wait outside.

A small Toyota drove up, and Feng Yu and Feng Xue got out with their daughter.

"father!"

Jiang Tiantian ran over as soon as she got out of the car and was overjoyed to see her father.

The little guy was wearing a bright red down jacket, tiger-head leather shoes, a mask, and a cartoon hat.

The pants were too thick, making it difficult to run.

Just as he was about to reach Jiang Ning, he tripped.

He was about to fall.

Jiang Ning reacted quickly, leaping two or three meters in an instant to catch her daughter.

"Ah ah ah..."

The little guy was so happy he kept laughing.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue casually came over carrying bags containing thermos flasks and milk powder.

After exchanging a few words at the door, Feng Yu and Feng Xue led their daughter inside.

Time passed slowly.

A Prado and a Panamera drove up.

My parents, brother, and sister-in-law also brought their nephews and nieces to join in the fun.

But what are Jiang Wei and Jiang Ze doing here?

Jiang Ning looked at her two cousins ​​getting on and off Palame and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ze chuckled and said, "Let's draw a car."

Grass!
Jiang Ning wanted to curse, but held back: "Shameless."

Jiang Wei gave a dry laugh, still wanting to save face.

Jiang Ze was much more shameless: "What's the point of having a face? Is a face worth a Camry?"

Jiang Ning was incredibly annoyed: "Are you short of this little bit of money?"

"Terrible!"

Jiang Ze complained about being poor: "What about my two sons? I'll save a Camry for the younger one."

Jiang Ning patted her forehead, not wanting to pay any attention to this guy.

Not long after my parents, brother, and sister-in-law went inside, the canteen staff arrived.

Jiang Ning asked his aunt, "Are you done cleaning up?"

Zhang Yuzhen said, "No, we'll clean up after we're done."

Jiang Ning nodded; time was tight.

The annual meeting starts at 7 p.m., there definitely won't be enough time to pack up.

Kong Fangfei ran out to report on the last-minute adjustments to the prize draw: "The guest prize draw will be at the very end. If it were at the very beginning, some people might be too embarrassed to go up. It's better to put it at the end."

Old Yang nodded in agreement: "That's a very thoughtful consideration; it's good to leave it until the end."

Jiang Ning naturally had no objections.

I stood there for a while longer, and it seemed that no one was coming anymore.

After entering the venue with Lao Yang, they first went to see his wife and children.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue sat in the last row on the right, with their parents, brother, and sister-in-law.

It was too hot indoors, so the little one had already taken off his clothes.

Standing on the chair, I looked ahead curiously.

Jiang Ziwen was running around in the corridor, never still for a moment.

"Should I stay with Grandma or not?"

"Not with."

"What should we do then?"

"We'll talk about it later!"

Feng Yu was having a headache, as the three of them were scheduled to perform on stage tonight.

But the little guy doesn't stay with his grandparents, which is a real headache.

Jiang Ning said a few words and then went to sit in the second row.

When they got closer, they discovered that their seats had been switched.

His nameplate was placed next to Boss Zhu's.

Boss Zhu beckoned, and Jiang Ning had no choice but to go and sit next to him.

Old Yang's seat hasn't been changed; he's still in the second row.

There was a fruit platter and melon seeds on the table, and the conference staff poured hot tea for us.

The leaders were quite relaxed, chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

"Well done!"

Boss Zhu pointed to a pile of prizes: "How much did you spend on these prizes?"

Jiang Ning said, "More than eight million."

"Good!"

Boss Zhu nodded, though he didn't say it aloud, he was inwardly sighing.

Holding an annual meeting and a lucky draw can cost more than eight million yuan.

They really don't value money.

I heard that the year-end bonus was over 100 million yuan, and the staff of the county government were all envious and discussed it for several days. I also heard that the staff of the Second Farm were arguing about the year-end bonus. This year, the Second Farm did not give out year-end bonuses, and many people had objections.

As Mr. Zhu pondered these matters, the annual meeting officially began.

A girl from the administration office and a handsome young man from the sales department acted as guest hosts.

Men in formal attire, women in evening gowns.

It's full of ritual.

Jiang Ning looked back and saw that all one thousand seats were filled.

The farm has more than 700 employees, plus more than 800 people at the Xincheng Hotel.

There were over a hundred guests, totaling about a thousand people.

The host gave the opening remarks, and then Boss Zhu went up and said something.

It was rare for me not to read from a script; I spoke impromptu for five or six minutes and that was it.

Then the show began.

A dozen or so girls emerged from behind the curtain and stood on the stage.

A high-energy dance music track then began.
