The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 237 How Does He Know Everything? (5.5K)

“I’ll be traveling around for work for the next few days and won’t have time to cook at home. Mom, you can cook for yourself for now. Chen Qiyun, you can eat here or go home. We’ll talk about everything else after I’m done with these few days.”

Chen Jingle said this during lunch.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qiyun's face immediately scrunched up.

This time, it's not something that can be solved with just a small cake.

Before, when she couldn't eat Chen Jingle's cooking for one or two meals, she felt like the days were dragging on forever. Now that she can't eat it for several days in a row, won't she have to live a miserable life for several years?

No! !

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She really couldn't stand the simple meals her grandma and mom made; they were too unpalatable!
Liu Yuehua asked curiously, "What kind of work is so busy? Are you coming home at night?"

Chen Jingle replied, "I'll still be back tonight. I need to write a report on the field investigation and research, and go to various places to collect and analyze samples."

My mother didn't understand, so she didn't ask any more questions.

When Chen Jingle went to the studio in the afternoon, he also told Li Beixing.

Teacher Li immediately complained: "Isn't being a consultant just about talking? Why do you have to go and investigate in person? What a heartless boss!"

Chen Jingle almost burst out laughing: "If you're getting this salary, you have to do something practical. A lot of data and information can't be seen sitting in the office. If you want to get detailed information, you have to go there yourself."

Li Beixing gave him a reproachful look: "You're just too responsible. But that's what I admire about you. Look, the weather's been so dry lately, I bought you a bottle of moisturizing cream. Remember to apply it before you go out or after you shower at night."

She took a square box with the "HR" logo out of her bag.

This one, I think her name is Helena or something?

Anyway, nothing Teacher Li gives away is cheap.

"Is my skin really that bad lately?" Chen Jingle touched her face.

That shouldn't be the case, right?

He completes system tasks every day, and his skin improves to some extent. Over time, his skin is now much better than that of any naturally beautiful female celebrity.

What's the point of having these things!

"No, I know you have good skin, I'm just worried about you." Li Beixing hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

Okay then!

Although there is a system to help maintain a good appearance, I'm afraid that after a few days of running around outside, I'll look much older and more worn out. Teacher Li would be heartbroken if that happened.

"It'll only be a few days. Once I'm done with this, I definitely won't take on any more responsibilities. I'll have plenty of time to spend with you then."

Chen Jingle smiled and pinched her cheek.

Teacher Li took the opportunity to sneak up and give him a big kiss, then looked smug, as if she had gotten a great deal.

Tsk~
Chen Jingle shook his head, "All you can do is get my face covered in saliva."

Despite Li Beixing's nonchalant demeanor in front of him, she was somewhat depressed about the fact that they hadn't been able to meet in person for the past few days and could only video chat at night.

This is their first long-distance relationship since they started dating.

For a mere 200 million annual salary, she'd be working like a slave for that heartless boss. If she'd known it would end like this, she would have simply taken 200 million from her own savings and had Chen Jingle work for her.

You can also experience the story of a female CEO and her male subordinate.

Ugh!
……

Li Beixing returned home that evening.

Jiang Zhiqin noticed that she didn't look well and asked curiously, "What's wrong today?"

She actually wanted to ask if they had broken up, but she was afraid that would hurt her daughter too much.

Li Beixing realized that he might have been too emotional, so he forced a smile and said, "It's nothing. It's just that a friend was chatting with me this afternoon and mentioned that his unscrupulous boss has been making him do some field research lately, running around in the dead of winter. I don't think it's worth it for that little bit of pay."

Li Qiguang, who was standing nearby, turned pale when he heard this.

First of all, it was that kid's own idea to go!

Secondly, the salary you mentioned is 200 million a year!
Do you know what 200 million a year means? That's enough to hire 10 doctoral students in agronomy!
If it weren't for his good daughter, he wouldn't have offered Chen Jingle such a high annual salary, only to be blamed and gossiped about by his daughter in the end.

Really served!

Is this a case of shooting oneself in the foot?

Jiang Zhiqin secretly curled her lip.

You should stick to him like glue, ideally for a lifetime. Otherwise, if you're separated for even ten days or half a month, you'll be crying your eyes out.
Really useless!

Each of the three was preoccupied with their own thoughts, and no one spoke during the meal, creating an eerie silence in the house.

After finishing his meal, Li Beixing went back to his room and started a long phone conversation with Chen Jingle.

Couples deeply in love want to be together 24/7, especially those who are head over heels in love, as they feel they have endless things to talk about.

……

the next morning.

Chen Jingle brought the prepared items and returned to the company.

Li Qiguang assigned him two young men to run errands, one named Huang Hao and the other Zhang Zhiyong.

They were both very tall and strong, like two door gods. I wonder if they were afraid that if Chen Jingle went down to the village, he would be knocked unconscious by the old men and women with a carrying pole.

"Hello Professor Chen!"

Huang Hao seemed rather quick-witted: "President Li sent us here to take your orders. If there's anything we need to do, just let us know."

"No need to call me Professor, just call me Consultant Chen. It's fine to use my title when we're working. Or you can call me Brother Chen or Brother Le, since I'm probably a few years older than you."

Chen Jingle said with a smile.

I didn't dare to pretend to be a highly educated intellectual in private; I know my own level perfectly well.

"Then we'll call you Brother Le." The two of them smiled.

The boss said to stay close to Consultant Chen and keep an eye on him, making sure he doesn't get into any danger. If anything happens, just remember to run away with him. There will be a travel expense subsidy later.

Chen Jingle nodded and said, "Our main task today is to go to various towns and villages to conduct on-site investigations of the local vegetable and fruit growing areas. If we need your help when we get there, I will naturally ask."

"understand!"

"By the way, do you two have a car?"

“I have a Corolla,” Zhang Zhiyong said quickly.

Chen Jingle nodded: "Okay, bring your car too, you two can sit together, I'll reimburse you for the gas later."

"Ok!"

The three of them then headed toward their first destination.

Chen Jingle had a clear picture in his mind of all the large-scale planting areas operated by Hongqi in the Jiangbei region, or the planting areas that cooperated with Hongqi, and had already planned out specific routes.

The first place we're going to visit is Lizhidong Village, located in the southwestern suburbs of Jiangbei.

Lizhidong Village is a relatively large village in this area. In addition to growing lychees and longans, it also grows a lot of oranges and tangerines.

December is the peak season for citrus fruits.

Chen Jingle needed to write an investigation report, so naturally he had to learn about the seasonal fruits available at the moment.

An investigation report should cover at least four parts: background introduction, situation description, problem analysis, and proposed solutions.

Strive for a clear structure and rigorous logic.

We must conduct on-site investigations, adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts, identify problems, avoid empty talk and subjective assumptions, and speak with objective facts and data.

I'll skip the background introduction, but it's necessary to describe the situation.

Jiangbei is located in the southwest of Namdong Province. It has both tropical and subtropical monsoon climates, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall all year round. It is hot and humid, with low latitude and strong sunlight. The soil is generally infertile red soil, and the various hilly terrains make it very suitable for growing a variety of tropical fruits.

For example, oranges, tangerines, mandarins, lychees, longans, mangoes, bananas, guavas, dragon fruits, jackfruits, etc. Almost all the fruits that can be grown in tropical regions can be grown in the Jiangbei area.

Hongqi Company's fruit business naturally covers these areas.

Therefore, he'll have a lot to do in the next few days.

……

The plantation in Lizhidong Village is located right by the roadside at the entrance of the village.

Chen Jingle and his group parked their car directly at the village entrance and then got out.

He stopped Huang Hao and his companion from going directly into the orchard: "No rush, let me observe first."

He glanced around and already had a draft in mind, but to avoid forgetting it, he still wrote it down with paper and pen.

According to the company's original records, the orchards in Lizhidong Village were privately contracted.

Or rather, most rural orchards in the Jiangbei area are privately contracted, with very few being planted by cooperatives or village collectives.

However, not everyone is good at farming; some people can make money, while others lose money year after year.

After Chen Jingle had looked around enough, he led Huang Hao and Zhang Zhiyong toward the orchard entrance.

"There are no dogs, right?"

He stopped at the entrance of the orchard, looking a bit timid. Generally, these orchards are guarded by people and dogs are kept there.

Like his maternal uncle's family.

Unfortunately, Chen Jingle has a childhood trauma related to dogs.

However, it seems that no barking was heard.

Huang Hao and his companion were also a little scared and subconsciously looked at the ground for sticks or something.

At this moment, a man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, having apparently heard the noise, came out from behind Weiyuan Leci and looked at the three men warily: "What are you doing here?"

Chen Jingle was slightly taken aback, then smiled and took out a box of Furongwang cigarettes, opened it, and handed two over: "Uncle, hello, we are the research team from Hongqi Company, here to check on the orchard."

He doesn't smoke, but when he goes out, he always carries a few packs of cigarettes with him.

really,

Upon seeing the Furongwang cigarettes, the uncle's expression immediately softened. He first opened the gate to let them in before accepting the cigarettes.

He said, "I know Hongqi, but what are you here to inspect? My trees are all fruit trees, and it will be a while before we can harvest them."

"We're just checking on the fruit trees. May I ask your surname, Uncle?" Chen Jingle said with a smile, and handed one to Huang Hao and the other person beside him.

"My surname is Liao, Liao Agui." "Uncle Gui, is that alright with me?"

"Call me whatever you want, we're country folk, we don't care about such formalities." Liao Agui glanced at him and chuckled.

Chen Jingle chuckled and said, "Don't let my gentle appearance fool you, I'm also from the countryside. My home is in Niujiaoling. Do you know where that is? It's a little past the old city sugar factory."

Liao Agui was surprised to hear this, and nodded: "I know, your village is much closer to the city than ours."

"That's it."

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "We came here mainly to check on the orchard. Don't worry, it won't take too long. Also, I can give you a little hint here: our company has some big plans coming up, which will definitely be good news for farmers and growers."

For example, we're planning to build a fruit processing plant in Jiangbei. When we hire, if you have any relatives or children who are suitable, you can let them apply. We can't guarantee they'll get the job, but it's an opportunity. You probably know the compensation and benefits at Hongqi; if you can stay in Jiangbei and still enjoy the same benefits as someone from a first-tier city, that's definitely better than going far away, isn't it?

Upon hearing this, Liao Agui was immediately tempted.

Hongqi's salaries are famously high in Jiangbei; many people want to get in but can't.

The company just doesn't have that many openings.

Running a factory is a different story. Even an ordinary worker there would probably earn no less than someone tending vegetables in a greenhouse—around six or seven thousand a month. In Jiangbei, that's definitely high pay, far better than those small appliance or garment factories in the Economic and Technological Development Zone!

Liao Agui immediately nodded: "Okay, feel free to look around. If you want to eat fruit, just pick it. This is all I have."

"Thank you, Uncle Gui."

Chen Jingle and his group then wandered around the orchard.

……

"The fruit has almost finished changing color."

Chen Jingle looked at the ripe Wogan oranges and nodded slightly.

Liao Agui, smoking a cigarette, chuckled and said, "That's right, I'm considered late. Some people have already started picking."

Chen Jingle smiled slightly: "Those will definitely taste a little worse. They're just getting an early start, and the sugar-acid ratio and the degree of melting are far from optimal. The truly delicious ones that will be available in large quantities will have to wait until between the Lesser Cold and the Greater Cold."

"That's true, but with such a high yield this year, I'm afraid we won't make much money," Liao Agui sighed.

Low grain prices hurt farmers, while high rice prices hurt the people; this has always been the case.

Chen Jingle didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh.

"By the way, the weather has been quite dry this year, have you taken any anti-drying and moisturizing measures?"

"There are some."

A few words were enough to change Liao Agui's opinion of the young expert from Hongqi Company, which shows that the expert is indeed highly capable.

Little did they know that Huang Hao and Zhang Zhiyong, who were following behind, were equally surprised.

Isn't this Consultant Chen in charge of strategic development? How come he knows about agricultural planting?

"Has the winter fertilizer been applied?" Chen Jingle asked again.

"No, I'm planning to do it in the next couple of days."

"Yes, no problem, these days are quite suitable."

"..."

Chen Jingle strolled around the orchard, and Liao Agui's attitude changed from initial wariness to admiration, and even a bit of respect.

After all, this expert genuinely taught him fruit-growing techniques and pointed out many areas where he could improve, so he answered all his questions.

When they left, Liao Agui insisted on picking a large bag of Wogan tangerines and Jiangbei oranges and stuffing them into their hands.

Chen Jingle was embarrassed to accept it, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to take it.

After receiving it, he divided most of it between Huang Hao and Zhang Zhiyong.

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, citrus fruits are actually considered very cold foods and should not be eaten in large quantities. Chen Jingle should just bring a few home for his mother and the others to try.

Huang Hao and his companion accepted it without hesitation, much to their delight.

……

Leaving Lizhidong Village, the three did not stop and continued to the next orchard planting area.

And so, from morning until noon, the three of them were running around outside.

We found a small restaurant in a nearby town for lunch, had a simple meal, rested for a while, and continued in the afternoon.

They didn't finish work and prepare to go home until the sun was almost setting.

By the end of the day, my WeChat steps count had surpassed all my friends' on my list.

Chen Jingle is doing well; he runs five kilometers every morning without fail, so his stamina is excellent.

Huang Hao and Zhang Zhiyong were both exhausted and barely keeping their spirits up.

Chen Jingle smiled apologetically and handed each of them a pack of Furongwang cigarettes and a 500 yuan red envelope: "Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest when you get home tonight. We have to continue tomorrow."

The two were so tired that they didn't really want to talk, but seeing these two things immediately perked them up.

"Oh, Brother Le, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? Even the emperor doesn't starve his soldiers. Although I'm not as rich as President Li, I can still afford this subsidy. Just don't think it's too little." Chen Jingle waved his hand.

"how come!"

“We learned a lot from following Brother Le, not to mention we got so much fruit for free, we couldn’t even finish it all.”

"That's it!"

"..."

The two of them were grinning from ear to ear.

Chen Jingle chuckled and waved his hand, "Alright, go home early, and be careful on the road."

"Okay, goodbye, Brother Le!"

"See you."

"..."

After the Corolla had driven for a while, Huang Hao, in the passenger seat, clicked his tongue and said, "No wonder he can be a strategic development consultant. His level, vision, and attitude are far superior to other managers. I wish I could have this kind of treatment every day."

“Just think, it’s good enough if you get it even once.” Zhang Zhiyong shook his head.

Huang Hao also realized that he was being somewhat delusional, and chuckled foolishly, "That's true."

This carton of cigarettes costs 350 yuan, plus a 500 yuan red envelope. If you get this much every day, wouldn't that be higher than the salary of many managers?

How can it be!

However, to their surprise, the next day, after a busy day, Chen Jingle gave each of them a pack of Furongwang cigarettes and a 500 yuan red envelope!

elder brother!
No, Godfather!

The two were so excited that they wanted to kneel down on the spot and pledge their loyalty to each other until death.

For the next few days, Chen Jingle would finish his work and then give them a pack of cigarettes and a 500 yuan red envelope.

This amount of money is nothing to him now, but for ordinary wage earners in Jiangbei, it is already a very good extra income.

These two people have been a great help to him, so he can't let them work for nothing.

In short, after a few days, Huang Hao and his team only knew Consultant Chen and were unaware of General Manager Li.

It's true that you have to follow a rich and generous leader like this. He enjoys the meat himself but doesn't forget to let his subordinates have a little soup too. Unlike some stingy leaders who wish one person could do the work of three.

However, what shocked Huang Hao and his group the most was Chen Jingle's knowledge.

From fruit tree planting and management to vegetable cultivation and harvesting, it seems there's nothing he doesn't understand.

hiss~
That's a bit of an exaggeration!

Large companies like Hongqi certainly have technical guidance, and quite a few at that. But there really aren't anyone as comprehensive and outstanding as Chen Jingle.

When Huang Hao and the other person discussed it privately, they both felt that he should apply for the position of chief technology consultant instead of strategic development consultant.

Why is there such a huge difference between people?

……

Due to time constraints, Chen Jingle could not travel all over the entire Nandong Province, and he did not even go to the nearby counties and cities. He could only wander around a few districts and towns under the jurisdiction of Jiangbei.

Fortunately, the situation in other surrounding cities is not much different from that in Jiangbei.

In his entire investigation report, he first conducted a summary and analysis of regional geographical information from a macro perspective, and presented the region's agricultural development plan and relevant national policy support.

Then, a detailed description and analysis of the current status of large-scale planting will be given.

This includes the type of business entity and planting scale, crop structure and regional characteristics, the degree of application of new technologies, economic benefits, social and ecological impacts, etc.

While introducing and analyzing the situation, he also clearly pointed out the problems. From land to products to harvesting, transportation, and sales, he said everything that needed to be said, and even things that shouldn't have been said.

Finally, he didn't forget to offer suggestions and solutions, along with data collection forms, survey samples, and reference sources to prove that what he wrote in his investigation report was true.

The full text exceeds 30,000 words.

The workload wasn't huge, but the time was too short. During the day, we had to conduct on-site inspections, and after returning at night, we had to summarize and organize the information, and even maintain our exercise routine.

Even someone with Chen Jingle's iron body was finding it hard to withstand.

Fortunately, the project was completed smoothly without any hiccups.

After checking the report one last time and confirming that there were no problems, he saved the document, planning to take it to the company the next day to print it out, bind it into a booklet, and then hand it over to Li Qiguang.

In this way, the task can be considered completed.

"Take a shower and go to sleep! Damn it, I'm exhausted from this lousy job these past few days."

Chen Jingle let out a long sigh.

I haven't seen Teacher Li for several days, and I miss her terribly.

Although the two video call every night, it is still quite different from meeting face-to-face in real life.

Thankfully, these days will soon be over.

The next day.

After finishing his personal matters, Chen Jingle drove to Hongqi Company.
