During the conversation, Haoyu made a good impression on everyone. He had taken over his mother's job as a worker in the textile factory. Although there was not much of a future for him, he was not worried about making a living. His family lived in an old house allocated by the textile factory. He did not mention wanting to live in Lan Guangxue's house. When Lan Guangxue offered him a house, he refused, saying that he would live in the old house and that his mother could come and live with his uncle.

"You work in a textile factory?" Su Xiaonuan thought to herself, "In a few years, the textile factory will go bankrupt. Is it doing well?"

"It's a state-owned factory, the benefits are pretty good." Haoyu is currently very satisfied with his job. "Many people want to get into our factory but can't."

He was telling the truth. Back then, state-owned factories were considered a secure job.

However, later on, all the workers in these state-owned enterprises became laid-off workers.

The wheels of history turn, and no one can escape the fate of laid-off workers.

Su Xiaonuan asked him, "What kind of work do you mainly do at the textile factory?"

"A mechanic," Haoyu said. "I've been learning from my master for a few years, and now I can handle things on my own."

How much is the salary?

"When I was an apprentice, my salary was a little over thirty yuan a month, but now it has increased to more than fifty," Haoyu said proudly.

"If you don't want to work in the factory anymore, you can come work at our family's factory. With your skill level, you can earn more than two hundred yuan a month." Su Xiaonuan extended an olive branch to him. She wasn't trying to poach him, but rather arranging a way out for Haoyu in advance.

"That much salary?" Guilan was tempted. "If it weren't for the job being stable, I would really like to work for you."

"No rush," Su Xiaonuan said. "It won't be long before the state-owned factory is not doing well, then you can come back."

“It’s alright, you can come work at my factory whenever you want,” Xiao Moran immediately chimed in. “As for wages, if you do well, we’ll increase them, especially for skilled workers like you. Our factory welcomes you anytime.”

"Thank you in advance," Haoyu said. "After I've taught all my apprentices, I might actually come work at your factory, since the pay is high."

“I think you should go work at their factory,” Aunt Zhang said. “Others want to go but can’t. Do you even know what kind of factory they are?”

"What factory?"

"Warmth mattresses, Sanwenquan bedding, Happiness furniture, and Moran home textiles are all manufactured in their factories. Working in a place like that means you'll never have to worry about unemployment, and your salary will be several times higher than what you're earning now. I can't speak for others, but all of their factories are very famous..."

"My God, so you're the famous big boss in our provincial capital?" Haoyu immediately made a decision. "Great, I'll quit my job tomorrow and work for you. If you allow me to bring a few apprentices with me, that would be even better."

Seeing that the young man was sincere and honest, and that he still remembered his apprentice before leaving, Su Xiaonuan immediately agreed. "No problem, as long as your apprentice is willing to come with you, we guarantee to take them into the factory, but their wages will not be as high as yours as their master's, only one hundred yuan a month. Ask them, and if they agree, bring them with you. We will sign contracts for you; they will not be temporary workers."

Xiao Moran scratched his head, thinking to himself, "I haven't even given the word yet, and Xiao Nuan has already arranged everything for me." However, he still immediately followed suit and said, "If you're willing, you can sign a three-year contract with us first, and then renew it after the three years. We also have five-year and ten-year contracts available for you to choose from."

His factories don't lack general workers, but they do lack skilled workers like these. It would be even better if they were willing to sign ten-year contracts.

“Such a good factory, of course it would be better to sign a ten-year contract,” Aunt Zhang said.

During their casual conversation, Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan easily poached a mechanic from the state-owned factory.

So, everyone had a very pleasant chat.

Lunchtime arrived, and several cars pulled up and parked in front of Mr. Huang's Jiuya Restaurant.

Mr. Huang is also an elite in the business world. Of all his branches, the Yaleju branch is the most successful, with long queues every evening during dinner time. This is largely due to the nearby residents, who are not short of money. As long as the food tastes good, everyone is willing to come out to eat.

"Boss, it seems the big boss has arrived." The waiter ran to report to Huang Guotao. In their eyes, Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan were the big boss, and this store was just a branch of theirs.

Huang Guotao greeted them with a smile, arms outstretched, and gave Xiao Moran a warm hug. "I knew it! I heard magpies chirping this morning. Turns out, a distinguished guest is coming!"

"Boss Huang, let me introduce you to a friend, this is Xie Zhi, Boss Xie." Xiao Moran introduced Xie Zhi to him. If it were the Xie Zhi of the past, he would never have received such treatment. Now Xie Zhi has turned over a new leaf and can be considered a business partner in the future. With Xiao Moran's introduction, Xie Zhi's business will also rise accordingly.

In business, resources and connections are essential; without them, business cannot continue. In addition, Xie Zhi had a bad reputation in the past, and many business partners stopped cooperating with him. Therefore, Xiao Moran was secretly helping Xie Zhi.

"Hello, Mr. Xie." Huang Guotao immediately shook hands with Xie Zhi.

Huang Guotao was a well-connected boss. Over the course of the meal, he introduced Xie Zhi to several major clients and even said that he would personally take them to Xie Zhi's company the next day to discuss cooperation.

So, everyone was very happy with the meal.

With Xiao Moran and Su Xiaonuan present, even the biggest boss would have to give them face.

It's often said that wealthy people close deals over drinks, and that's certainly true. While drinking, they quickly attracted several big clients, marking a successful start for Xie Zhi's comeback.
