Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 566 Shift Change, My Daughter's Little Thoughts

"Third Brother, isn't it a bit too aggressive for the group to be involved in so many industries now?"

The two chatted while eating, and Pan Lianhua casually brought up the issue of company expansion.

She knew that the company had expanded into real estate in Shenzhen, and she was somewhat worried that the company was expanding too much and that there might be management problems.

"We can give it a try. The company is now very well-funded, which greatly increases our tolerance for mistakes. If it doesn't work out, we can adjust it at any time."

Fang Wei did not argue with his wife, but instead stated a fact.

"That's true! But the company shouldn't just focus on expansion; dividends also need to keep up."

Pan Lianhua then made a joke and continued eating.

After lunch, Pan Lianhua left first. There was a lot going on at the factory today, and she had a meeting in the afternoon.

Fang Wei went to the hotel to take a look, and then went to [Nanlu Garden] to check on the housing sales situation.

“Secretary, since the opening of the project on May 1, the houses in the community have been selling quite well. With the handover of the houses just around the corner, there has been another sales peak recently, and the sales rate has now exceeded 70%.”

Fang Wei was somewhat surprised by the report from the person in charge; the sales ratio was good, and the payment collection exceeded expectations.

Since this is the real estate company's first development project, they have ample self-owned funds and relatively little bank loan, so they are not under much pressure. Based on the current sales situation, they have already recovered their funds, so there is no need to rush further.

Fang Wei took a look around the scene and then returned to his office.

After that, he stayed quietly in the county, and apart from working in his office, he went to the research institute and the Yao village most often.

The research project at the institute is progressing slowly, and Wang Songlin's health has improved significantly. However, Fang Wei still doesn't let him get involved in work-related matters, telling him to rest at home.

Wang Sanqi gradually replaced Wang Songlin, and all the work in the village was arranged in an orderly manner, which made Fang Wei very satisfied.

"Songlin, I think Sanqi is doing a good job. What are your thoughts on entrusting the affairs of the village to him from now on?"

Fang Wei took some time to talk to Wang Songlin, hoping that he would step down.

“Sanqi is a cultured and intelligent boy. I believe he can lead the village to greater heights. I don’t plan to get involved in things anymore. I’ll pass the responsibility on to Sanqi.”

Wang Songlin understood what the other party meant and took the initiative to resign.

"It's good that you've been relieved of your burden; this matter is settled then. However, you've made significant contributions to the company's development, so I'll arrange a less demanding position for you later. Once you've recovered, you'll still have to do your work."

Fang Wei nodded, noticing that Wang Songlin didn't seem to have any particular emotion.

That's great. He and the other person have a relationship like brothers, and he'll take care of everything.

Afterwards, Fang Wei discussed it with Lin Bingkun and decided to appoint Wang Songlin as the company's breeding technology consultant. And indeed, Wang Songlin led the breeding team to complete several important tasks, proving the title was truly fitting for him.

After Wang Songlin became an advisor, his salary increased again. For the time being, he didn't have any specific work to do; he only needed to visit the breeding group and research institute from time to time.

Once he recovers, he will focus on managing the breeding team, and Wang Sanqi will be in full charge of the affairs of the Yao village.

Wang Songlin is also very content. Now that he has more free time, he has learned health preservation exercises from Fang Wei and insists on exercising every day. His complexion has visibly improved.

Fang Wei was relieved and planned to go to Guangzhou with his wife soon.

"Third Brother, I really can't leave. There have been so many orders these past few months, everyone is extremely busy, and I feel bad asking for leave at this time."

Pan Lianhua shook her head helplessly, indicating that she was busy recently.

She had initially planned to quit her job to help her son and children, but after staying in Guangzhou for a while, she gave up the idea.

Fang Wei never asked his wife for the detailed reasons, but since she didn't want to give up her job, he would definitely support her.

"If you can't leave, that's fine. I need to stay at the group company for a while."

Fortunately, it wasn't far away, so Fang Wei decided to go to Guangzhou by herself.

There are two other major projects in Shenzhen: one is a real estate development project, and the other is the construction of the Yaoling Building. Both projects involve substantial investments, and he needs to go and check on them to feel at ease. He also wants to visit his daughter.

"Then go ahead, and come back early when you're done."

Pan Lianhua nodded, not objecting to men going out.

She knew Fang Wei well enough to know that he was actually quite concerned about the companies and projects located far away. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he went to see them in person.

three days later.

Fang Wei arrived in Guangzhou. He first went to see the little guy, and then had a private chat with his older sister.

"Sister, do you know why Lotus doesn't want to go to Guangzhou?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Lianhua and Xuemei have different ideas about raising children. Lianhua doesn't want to affect the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she's temporarily avoiding it."

Fang Wei's older sister didn't hide anything from him and told him the truth directly.

Fang Wei couldn't help but smile. But this was fine too; distance makes the heart grow fonder. As for raising the child and his future education, he felt that was Binbin and Xuemei's responsibility, and it was best for the elders not to interfere.

"Sister, Lianhua has hired a nanny for Binbin and the others. You can go back anytime you want."

Pan Lianhua paid for a nanny for her son and daughter-in-law, mainly to ease her sister's burden.

"I think it's better if I stay here a little longer. I don't feel comfortable with a complete nanny." The older sister spoke the truth, and Fang Wei didn't force her. As long as she was happy, that was fine.

After working at the group company for a few days, Fang Wei went to Shenzhen. On the evening of his arrival, Xiao Jie treated her father to dinner, which made Fang Wei very happy.

"Xiaojie, you seem so happy, did you get a raise?"

Xiao Jie treated her father to a nice meal at a rather expensive place, which is why Fang Wei made a joke.

"Yes, just eat as much as you want, it won't bankrupt your daughter."

Xiao Jie seemed very proud. She was thriving at the telecommunications company, leading her team to complete several tasks and earning the high regard of the company leaders.

However, the company also has its concerns. Several shareholders seem to be pessimistic about the company's development and are rumored to want to withdraw their shares.

The company's finances have never been very tight, and if several shareholders withdraw their shares, it will inevitably affect the company's normal development. She would be very sad if the company really collapsed.

Xiaojie is very happy working at this company and doesn't want anything to go wrong.

Fang Wei noticed the change in her daughter's emotions; she had been happy, but for some reason, she suddenly fell silent.

"Xiaojie, something's on your mind? Are you dating someone?"

To lighten the mood, Fang Wei teased her daughter a little.

"What? I don't have time to think about this. Dad, there's a problem at our company."

Xiao Jie couldn't help but smile. Her father's change of topic was too abrupt.
She then explained the current situation of the company, appearing somewhat worried.

"It seems like there's a good atmosphere in your company; even you're concerned about it. So, let me ask you, what does your boss plan to do when the company encounters difficulties?"

Fang Wei found it quite interesting. Xiao Jie's monthly salary was not low, and even when the company encountered difficulties, the boss never delayed paying the employees' wages.

A boss who can win people's hearts must have some skills.

"It's not clear yet. I heard that the boss plans to sell some of his shares to the employees. I don't know if it's true or not."

Xiaojie is not a senior executive in the company, so she has very limited information.

“If your boss is going to do that, tell your dad that I support you buying shares in the company.”

Fang Wei smiled and said nothing else, only expressing her support.

"I knew Dad was the best!"

Xiao Jie was overjoyed; she had actually been planning to do the same thing.

"No wonder you've been so generous today; you were waiting for me here all along."

Fang Wei laughed, which made Xiao Jie quite embarrassed.

The next day.

Fang Wei first went to the construction site of Yaoling Building. The project manager told him that the entire project would be completed by the end of October, a month or so ahead of schedule.

For him, the construction period was not the most important thing; only the quality of the project mattered.

Of course, delivering the project ahead of schedule is also a good thing, provided that quality is guaranteed.

After inspecting the Yaoling Building, Fang Wei went to the real estate company.

The company has just acquired a residential land plot and is currently carrying out pre-development preparations, with construction expected to begin around the National Day holiday.

He stayed at the real estate company until he finished get off work in the afternoon before going to the restaurant that Qin Sicheng had booked in advance.

"Secretary Fang, you're such a busy man. There are at least two big projects here, but we hardly ever see you."

Qin Sicheng had no idea what Fang Wei was busy with all day. If he were to invest in and build two such large projects, he would definitely visit them frequently.

Fang Wei was practically nowhere to be seen; it was hard to tell whether to say he was carefree or confident.

"President Qin, you're wronging me. My situation is different from yours. I don't manage the group company's affairs much; I mostly stay in the village."

Fang Wei smiled and waved his hand, then briefly explained the group company's operations.

Qin Sicheng was speechless, but considering Fang Wei's prestige in the company, there seemed to be nothing wrong with doing so. Anyway, he couldn't do it; if he was frequently absent from the company, he might be sidelined.

“Secretary Fang, the two projects we are working on are progressing smoothly. I am very pleased with the development of the industry. We should be able to make a lot of money from these two projects.”

Qin Sicheng changed the subject and started talking about the collaborative project.

"Yes, the project is progressing smoothly, mainly thanks to you. Come on, let's have a drink."

Fang Wei's words were not actually meant to flatter Qin Sicheng. After all, the company had only recently expanded into the special economic zone and was not yet familiar with many aspects of it.

For example, Qin Sicheng was the one who helped with things like loans and land acquisitions behind the scenes.

"Why are you being so polite? Isn't cooperation about leveraging each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses?"

Qin Sicheng laughed heartily and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.
