I was reborn without dreams

Chapter 86 Breakfast is not a feast for the eyes.

Shi Yelu is the kind of person whose delicate features cannot be hidden even when she is wearing a faded school uniform and sweating profusely from a long journey.

The first glimpse of it was a perfectly balanced stunning beauty, and its enduring appeal reminded me of a piece of Song Dynasty porcelain wrapped in coarse cloth.

Unfortunately, it's too small.

In every sense.

"Boss, the food is ready."

"Ah."

Watching the evening news on time in the living room is a habit of his. Just like when he designs scenes for students at Xindongwei Port Middle School to reinforce their memories, every news item on the evening news, even a brief one, could be a memory anchor point for many events before his rebirth.

On the table was a provincial evening newspaper, already turned to the social life section, folded neatly into a square, so that one hand could easily shake the other half of the page open.

Although it's a social life section, the evening paper sometimes includes content that is related but not quite, just to fill space.

"...More than 3,000 Chinese and foreign guests and businesspeople gathered in Jiangning to kick off the 4697 Jiangning Autumn Economic and Trade Fair..."

Although this Jiangning Golden Autumn Economic and Trade Fair only included twelve prefecture-level cities in the province and seemed to be a self-entertainment event for Jiangkou Province, its level was not low, and people from the State Council also attended the opening ceremony.

Secondly, although only twelve prefecture-level cities in the province joined, they still managed to set up more than a thousand booths, mainly highlighting the achievements of foreign-invested enterprises and product collaboration and technical exchanges.

It has a very high gold content.

"Zhang An Education" also hitched a ride with Wu Dushi and set up a stall there.

Of course, the main player at this time was not "Zhang An Education", but Wudu City Shazhou Education Investment Company, which was originally Shazhou City Education Investment Company.

The advantage of having the sign displayed in Wudu City is that you can eat at the provincial banquet.

The main dishes might be hard to get, but a plate of peanuts that's just been served can be easily devoured in a few bites.

As the general manager, Qiu Jianmin went there in person. Who would have thought that this big-eyed guy was actually a shell company?
Therefore, many small companies from Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia had pleasant conversations with Qiu Jianmin and signed many cooperation agreements.

The main issue is human resources. Foreign companies have relatively quantifiable requirements for labor, such as how many skills they possess and how much international communication ability they have. Training is then conducted within this quantifiable range.

Luzhou has done the best in this regard, not just in recent years. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the main technical personnel for foreign trade were all trained in Luzhou.

Taking silk, the main source of foreign exchange earnings back then, as an example, all the light industries in Wudu City that involved foreign affairs completed negotiations and settlements in Luzhou.

Therefore, the relevant ministries and commissions of light industry at that time had a lot of funds and hoarded a lot of buildings and dormitories in Luzhou. In the past, they were just for the convenience of employees. Who would have thought that now the housing prices in Luzhou have skyrocketed and the income from the appreciation of land value would allow the state-owned spinning units in Wudu City to go bankrupt and still support their current employees.

However, while these talent development systems are excellent, they are extremely expensive and difficult to adapt to the current private market.

The reason is simple: the cultivation of top talents after the founding of the People's Republic of China was the selection of the elite among the elite, and what was needed was core combat power.

Things are different now. After marketization, it's not impossible to make a living with ten people, even if there are two good fish and eight bad fish...

Investors expect professional managers to be fully equipped, all-around special forces soldiers; but for frontline workers, they ideally expect one worker to be able to tighten a screw three and a half turns. Of course, reality is always different. For example, private bosses certainly want one worker to be used like five oxen, so the worker will be exposed to countless production processes. Usually, as long as such a worker doesn't lose heart, save some money, borrow some more, and can start his own business and take over the original boss's business.

One of the main reasons for the booming development of private enterprises is that there is never a shortage of new bosses who want to drive the original bosses out of business.

This is why workers who go to foreign companies can indeed learn something if they are in a technical or management position, but if they are just tightening screws, then sorry, they won't learn anything there.

There are no cattle or horses that can wipe out the original boss of foreign capital.

But this time it's a little different. The Autumn Economic and Trade Fair hosted by Jiangning City has helped to initially establish its reputation for a "good business environment".

This is a gradual process. You won't see much in the first ten years, but after twenty years, the "industrial giants" that have been cultivated will be far from the stereotypical image of foreign-funded contract manufacturers. Their breakthroughs in specific industrial sectors can be described as widespread.

Zhang Da'an also planned to jump on the bandwagon and make a quick buck. The human resources business has never been synonymous with "labor intermediaries." The latter, in its raw form, displays a purely evil side, which is the textbook example of "cars, boats, shops, and peddlers."

After scanning all the pages, Zhang Da'an finally started eating breakfast.

He wasn't used to reading a lot of information while eating, so he focused on eating his side dishes. In the morning, besides multigrain porridge and egg pancakes, he also had preserved mustard greens with dried shrimp, beef pancakes, and cold noodles with meat rolls.

Without a doubt, this was not a breakfast that Shi Yelu could make. The nanny simply brought out the food prepared by the professional chef and then went to do her own housework.

Dressed in a Russian-style maid outfit, her pockets were stuffed with various small tools for cleaning different corners. It was cold, and after only a short while, her hair on her forehead was already wet.

Bathed in the dim light of the corridor lamps, she looked incredibly radiant and full of vitality.

Unfortunately, Shi Yelu secretly glanced at Zhang Da'an several times, but all she saw was him concentrating on eating.

A bowl of porridge, three egg pancakes, a whole beef patty, a dish of preserved vegetables and dried shrimp, plus a whole cold skin meat roll—Shi Yelu couldn't eat that much in a day.

Especially the cold skin noodles with meat rolls, which are supposed to be vegetarian, but Zhang Da'an doesn't like to eat vegetarian food, so the cook puts in a lot of pork tenderloin, and sometimes fried chicken skewers, enough to fill up a strong laborer.

But for Zhang Da'an, it was the last thing he used to suppress his stomach.

After Zhang Da'an had eaten half of the cold noodles and meat rolls, Shi Yelu filled the thermos with milk and said respectfully, "Boss, the sportswear is ready."

"Ah."

He got up, drank the milk in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and then went back to his room to change from his pajamas into sportswear. Unlike others, he would take a 20-minute walk after dinner before starting his morning exercise.

The reason for doing this was to counteract the drowsiness that came after a full meal.

After finishing her workout, Shi Yelu put a pair of slippers on the ground and said, "Boss, the hot water is ready."

"Okay, thank you."

She slipped on her slippers and went to the bathroom for a bath, leaving Shi Yelu tidying up her messy sportswear while stubbornly pondering a question: What exactly went wrong?
