Xie's parents and the village chief were at an age where they liked gossip. They chatted about the Lu family for a while before getting down to business: "Ah Xiao, regarding the factory matter, the leader asked you to meet him tomorrow. Will you come with me tomorrow?"
Everyone in the Xie family's eyes lit up. The leader had asked them to go for the talk, so they thought the factory matter was almost certain to be accomplished!
"Okay!" Xie Qingxiao agreed immediately.
Xie's father and mother already knew that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi wanted to build a factory. These days, they went from being initially surprised to calming down. They had already accepted the couple's impetuous temperament, and from time to time, they would come up with a earth-shaking idea.
They knew they couldn't control them, and since the couple both had their own ideas, they simply supported them with all their strength.
I was very pleased to hear this and of course I am very grateful to the village chief.
Father Xie shook the village chief's hand vigorously and said gratefully: "Village chief, thank you for your help during this period!"
"Yes, it's really thanks to the village chief that we got this opportunity. Otherwise, I don't know who would cover for this young couple who would do whatever they want," Xie's mother glanced at Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi with a reproachful look.
Lin Xiangyi smiled and said playfully, "So how about you say you are good friends with your uncle?"
“Hahaha~” The village chief laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying: “He Xiangyi and his wife are both smart and clever. As their uncle, of course I have to help them!
But I am not so busy just because of them, it is also for myself and our village! You don’t have to be grateful to me, just do business well, and help our village when you are able, and my hard work is worth it!"
"But as for the factory, the leaders haven't agreed yet. It all depends on what the leaders say when A Xiao meets with them tomorrow!"
"I saved that!" Xie Qingxiao said with a smile.
While they were chatting, Gao Shengnan had already prepared the meal and brought it over.
The food included both meat and vegetarian dishes, and was delicious and tasty, making the village chief very satisfied.
When he went back, Lin Xiangyi went to get some cakes that Xie Qingxiao had bought from outside in the past two days, which were rarely sold in the county town, and asked the village chief to take them back.
The village chief declined for a while, but finally took it back, and was amazed in his heart, thinking that it was no wonder that the Xie family had grown their business so big so quickly.
Xie Qingxiao is a capable and resourceful man, and Lin Xiangyi is a good person. With these two working together, how can business not be good?
The next day, Xie Qingxiao went to meet the leader with the village chief.
After he left, Lin Xiangyi went to the workshop and instructed Gao Shengnan on some things.
Mother Xie followed her, not understanding why Lin Xiangyi asked Gao Shengnan to tidy up the workshop again: "Our workshop has always been kept very clean. Today is not Sunday, why do we have to do a thorough cleaning?"
"You'll know later," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
Less than two hours later, Xie Qingxiao, who had gone with the village chief to meet the leader, came back with his leader and went straight to the workshop.
Xie's mother understood instantly and asked in surprise: "Xiangyi, did you know the leader would come?"
"I have guesses, but I'm not sure whether they will come or not. Let's take care of the hygiene first. If they come, we'll be prepared. If they don't come, we'll just treat it as a general cleaning," Lin Xiangyi said with a smile.
Of course, she was 80% sure that the leader would come. After all, building a factory was such a big thing, the leader would definitely come to see how they operated, right?
Both Xie's mother and Aunt Zhao expressed their admiration. They did not expect the leader to come.
"Wait until Axiao and the leaders finish their tour over there. They should come back to discuss things. I'll go get some fruit," Lin Xiangyi said again.
Mother Xie and Aunt Zhao hurriedly asked what they should do, but Lin Xiangyi had nothing to ask them to do.
But they couldn't sit still. They had never met any leaders, and the leaders who came today were all big shots to them.
What's more, they took such a big matter as building a factory very seriously, so they cleaned their yard, which already looked clean.
Lin Xiangyi: “…”
Lin Xiangyi guessed correctly. After Xie Qingxiao took the leaders to visit the workshop, he returned home to discuss business.
She took out the beautifully made fruit plate to entertain the guests and received a lot of praise, with people praising her for being beautiful and virtuous, and being a good wife to Xie Qingxiao.
Xie Qingxiao told them that the family business was Lin Xiangyi's idea. At first, the leaders were just like Long Fei at the beginning. They didn't believe it, but they gave Xie Qingxiao face and didn't refute him. They still let Lin Xiangyi listen beside them.
During the negotiation, Lin Xiangyi put forward some very novel ideas and opinions, which surprised them and finally made them believe what Xie Qingxiao said.
Finally, the matter of building the factory was agreed upon, but the specific location still needs further discussion.
So next, Xie Qingxiao started to take care of factory matters, while Lin Xiangyi took care of city matters.
The three shops they had bought earlier had been renovated almost completely, the workshop had been staffed with more people, and the goods could be supplied, so it was almost time for them to open.
Lin Xiangyi and Zhang Pengfei went to the city to work every day. After a week, they determined the opening dates of three stores in the city. On Xie Qingxiao's side, after visiting the village several times with the leaders and the village chief, they finally determined the location of the factory.
After these two things were confirmed, many people in the village heard about it, and the bored villagers started to get excited again:
"Oh my god, is the Xie family really going to build a factory?"
"How could it be false? Xie Qingxiao and his leader have been wandering around the village every day these past few days. Didn't you all see it?"
"Hahaha I saw it. I just wanted to ask if it's true."
"It's not fake anymore!"
"Will there be more job openings after the factory is built? Will most people in our village have jobs in the future?"
"Hehe, great, great! I'm really glad that the Xie family doesn't get along with the Lu family and doesn't want to recruit people from the Lu family. Otherwise, there would be so many people with the surname Lu in our village, and our chances would be much less!"
Hearing this, Mr. Lu said: "..."
"But is it necessary for the Xie family to build a factory? How did their business grow so big?"
"Don't underestimate them. They have expanded their business to the city. I heard they bought a store in the city and will open it in a few days."
"They have already bought trucks. It goes without saying that they will not be satisfied with just doing business in the county. If they only do business in the county, they don't need to buy trucks at all!"
"Yes, but their business scope has never been limited to the county town. They have also opened stores in the neighboring county! I have a relative who married there, and I heard that there is also a Xiangyi braised food in their county town! The taste is exactly the same as the Xie family's braised food!"
"What? They've concealed it too well!"
"They just don't like to show off. When the Lu family learned how to do business from them, they only set up a small stall in front of their store, but they had the nerve to say that their business surpassed that of the Xie family. Now that I think about it, I find it ridiculous!"
