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

"Secretary Fang, shall we find a place to sit down at noon?"

After leaving the residential area, Qin Sicheng planned to invite Fang Wei and her husband to dinner.

Fang Wei did not refuse. He and Qin Sicheng were business partners, and such reciprocal exchanges were unavoidable.

Afterwards, the group went to a private restaurant. Qin Sicheng ordered six dishes and a bottle of red wine. He knew Fang Wei's alcohol tolerance and didn't want to drink red wine with her.

"Chairman Qin, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Once the food and wine were served, Fang Wei first raised his glass and clinked it against Qin Sicheng's.

In recent years, the cooperation between Yaoling Group and the Port Group has been very smooth, and the two have also become closer in their personal relationship.

"It's a pleasure working together. Please join us, sister-in-law."

Qin Sicheng was in a good mood, and while raising his glass, he made a point of inviting Pan Lianhua over.

Given their current relationship, it's perfectly normal for them to be like brothers, so he naturally wouldn't neglect the other guest.

Fang Wei and Qin Sicheng chatted while drinking and eating. Pan Lianhua didn't say much, only occasionally speaking.

"Secretary Fang, the 'Clear Waters and Blue Skies' project has been very successful. Would you be willing to continue this success and work together to develop the next project?"

Having tasted success in the two collaborations, Qin Sicheng was very optimistic about the real estate project and planned to strike while the iron was hot and continue the collaboration.

"No problem. I'll have Mr. Hu discuss the specifics with you. I'll definitely support you."

Fang Wei did not discuss specific matters with the other party. As long as he set the principles, someone would naturally contact the port group.

Qin Sicheng was the same; he didn't need to worry about the specifics, all he wanted was Fang Wei's words.

Then, the two changed the subject and even brought up the lotus flower in the conversation, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.

After dinner, Qin Sicheng returned to the company, while Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went back to the hotel to rest for a while before going to find Xiao Jie, almost at the end of the workday.

The two called Xiaojie in advance and then waited downstairs at the company.

A short while later, Xiaojie came out with a man in his forties. Xiaojie couldn't help but smile when she saw her parents, and then she and the man walked up to them.

"Mom and Dad, this is our company's boss, Mr. Lu."

Even without their daughter's introduction, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua had a general idea of ​​the man's identity.

"Mr. Lu, hello! Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter these past few years."

Fang Wei greeted the other person with a smile, speaking very politely.

"Not at all, not at all. Xiaojie is very outstanding. Not only is she highly capable in her work, but she also helped the company a lot at a crucial moment. Gentlemen, let's not stand here in the wind. Tonight, I'll treat everyone to seafood."

Lu Yifan has a cheerful personality and gives people a decisive and efficient impression.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua certainly wouldn't refuse; their daughter would still be working at the company in the future, and there was no harm in building a good relationship with them.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu."

Fang Wei, Pan Lianhua, and Xiao Jie followed President Lu to the parking lot, and then went to a seafood restaurant together.

During the meal and drinks, Fang Wei finally understood that the other company had indeed been at a critical juncture of life and death. If Xiao Jie hadn't taken the lead in buying shares, the company might have gone out of business.

"Everyone says that special economic zones are full of opportunities, but the risks are also great. Of all these entrepreneurs, how many will ultimately survive?"

President Lu and Fang Wei ordered a bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and chatted while eating and drinking.

He was already a bit carried away, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions when talking about the hardships of starting a business.

Xiao Jie chatted quietly with Pan Lianhua. The two of them didn't drink alcohol, but only some juice.

"Actually, it's the same everywhere, but luckily your company survived, and things are getting better now, aren't they?"

Fang Wei nodded. Starting a business is never easy, and the success rate is very low.

Of course, he believed that someone like President Lu, even if he failed once, would eventually succeed.

After the meal, everyone parted ways. Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went to each other's residence with their daughter.

Xiao Jie asked the two to sit down first, then went to make tea and brought it over before explaining the current situation of the company.

"Although the crisis has passed, our company is still short of funds, and several research projects have had to be temporarily suspended. Even I have been following Mr. Lu around to apply for loans recently, and I have been getting rude and disrespected everywhere I go."

The fact that the company survived the crisis does not mean that the problem of development has been solved.

In this respect, the subsidiaries of Yaoling Group are fortunate, because Yaoling Agriculture has been providing them with financial support from the very beginning.

Mr. Lu's company doesn't offer such treatment. Slow development is fine, but it means missing out on many opportunities.

"Xiaojie, if you want to show your abilities, go find Uncle Qin. He might be able to help your company solve the loan problem."

Because of Xiaojie, Fang Wei didn't want to get directly involved in the other company's affairs.

He told his daughter to go to Qin Sicheng, saying that as long as Qin Sicheng agreed to help, a small loan would be no big deal.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Dad."

Xiaojie was overjoyed, her words sweeter than honey. The couple stayed with their daughter until after 10 pm, then went downstairs and returned to the hotel.

The two spent another day in Shenzhen. Pan Lianhua bought some things, and Fang Wei took the time to call Qin Sicheng and tell him about Xiao Jie's loan application.

Qin Sicheng couldn't help but smile. Why would he need to do such a small thing? Fang Wei had already taken care of it himself.

However, he did not refuse, as it was just a small favor and he might as well do a small favor.

night.

The family of three went to a restaurant for a meal, and the couple returned to Guangzhou the next day.

It's clear that Xiaojie is very happy working at this company, after all, she already owns some shares and has a strong sense of belonging.

Fang Wei will not interfere with her daughter's development; she hopes the company will grow bigger and stronger.

After that, Fang Wei went to work at the group company every day, while Pan Lianhua went shopping with her older sister. Her older sister planned to go back to the village before the Chinese New Year; the children were getting older, and she wouldn't be able to stay here as often anymore.

Moon Festival.

Fang Wei booked a table at a restaurant, and the family ate out instead.

After he returned, Binbin chatted with him and told him about his current work situation. He had already started working at the affiliated hospital of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and become a formal doctor.

However, he doesn't often make house calls alone; he spends most of his time doing odd jobs.

"Don't worry, even if you were to see patients every day, how many patients would actually book an appointment with you? Being a doctor also requires accumulating experience. Don't worry about finances; your mother will leave you some money later."

Fang Wei was very happy that Binbin had finally achieved his goal after a long and arduous academic journey.

Master Sun said that Binbin's skill level is very high, but he lacks practical experience and will soon stand out.

Since that's the case, then calm down and hone your skills slowly. In five or ten years, you'll definitely become a famous doctor.

"No need, my salary has increased, and I can make a living. Dad, don't worry, I will work hard."

Binbin has a very calm personality; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to persevere for so many years.

Fang Wei nodded and said nothing more.

Before leaving, Pan Lianhua left her son 20 yuan, telling him to work hard and take good care of his wife and children.

"Third brother, when Chenchen is a bit older, Xuemei can send him to our village during winter and summer vacations. To be honest, I don't want to be the factory manager anymore. He's only been here a few days and he's already urging me to go back."

Back home, Pan Lianhua seriously discussed future work issues with the man.

The factory has been quite busy lately. Even her Mid-Autumn Festival trip to Guangzhou didn't bring her any peace; one thing after another kept popping up. There's no way around it; she's the factory manager, and some important decisions still have to be made by her.

She doesn't want to be constantly busy, but she also doesn't want to be idle. She's really torn.

"Let's talk about it next year. If you don't want to be this busy, you can take on a less demanding position, like a technical consultant."

Fang Wei didn't think it was a big deal. Pan Lianhua was one of the founders of the furniture company (bamboo ware factory) and had made great contributions to the company's development over the years. What was wrong with her wanting to relax a little now?
He wasn't afraid of gossip at all; neither he nor Pan Lianhua lived off that meager salary.

Pan Lianhua, in particular, works not to make a living, but simply to keep herself from being bored out of her mind.

"Well, let's talk about it next year."

Pan Lianhua didn't want to create problems for the man. She already had a candidate in mind to succeed her as factory manager, and she would definitely recommend him to the company.

the next day.

After Pan Lianhua arrived at the bamboo ware factory, she handed over some of her work to one of the deputy factory directors.

This person is the successor in her mind. From now on, she will continue to give him some responsibilities, and when the time is right, he can naturally take over as factory director.

Fang Weiyi arrived at the office early in the morning to review the seed sales situation over the past few months.

Rice seeds, needless to say, sold out almost as soon as they hit the market. Seeds for other crops sold out a bit more slowly, but by now they're mostly sold out as well.

Only wheat seeds are not selling well; less than half have been sold so far.

Even with Sun Shili's vigorous promotion, and with multiple authoritative institutions recommending this wheat variety, farmers' acceptance is low and word-of-mouth effect has not yet been formed.

"Take your time, gold will always shine."

Fang Wei was also helpless; promoting new wheat varieties was not a simple task and required time to accumulate experience.

He believed in his product, so he wasn't in a rush; this amount of inventory was nothing to the company.

A few days passed quickly.

Yu Hao helped Fang Wei choose an auspicious day, and Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua moved into their new home.

The furniture in the house is refurbished, and the materials used are all old wood, which are all precious woods that are hard to buy even with money.

In addition, all the appliances were replaced with new ones. In short, most of the items in the house are new, with only a few sentimental items left behind.

The house has not undergone any renovations, and its overall style is simple and bright, giving you a pleasant feeling as soon as you walk in.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua hosted a housewarming party at home, and many people came to congratulate him on his new home. He had anticipated this, so he had booked a banquet at the large canteen in advance, hosting a full-day feast. (End of Chapter)
