Chapter 116 Quan Yurong is from the Immortal Mountain Farm...
Quan Yurong is a purchasing specialist at Meijiuhua Winery, a winery in Xianshan Farm.
At that moment, she was sitting on a high-speed train bound for Ling'an City.
The thought of finding such a great job filled her with excitement.
Just a week ago, she was unemployed.
Three years ago, Quan Yurong, who had just graduated from university, found a job as a purchasing specialist at a company. She worked there for more than two years, but due to the immense pressure and the fact that her new boss always liked to scold her, she resigned last July.
After resigning, she returned to her hometown to look for work. However, the job market is terrible, with low wages and poor benefits, so she has been unable to find a suitable job for a long time.
As her savings dwindled, Quan Yurong grew increasingly anxious.
Her parents told her to go back to her hometown for a while and then look into jobs after the New Year.
It's definitely harder to find a job at the end of the year.
Quan Yurong understood, so she listened to her parents and returned to the countryside.
After the New Year, Quan Yurong regrouped and started browsing job postings on various recruitment platforms.
However, on these recruitment apps, most company HR personnel read but don't reply to job seekers' messages. Some HR personnel treat job seekers as tools to boost performance, notifying them to go for interviews but never following up.
For some jobs, you only find out during the interview that the job description on the recruitment software is completely different from the actual job duties.
Quan Yurong was extremely frustrated in her job search, encountering setbacks everywhere.
She was thinking of finding a job in another province, but there were very few companies that would accept online interviews.
Just when she was about to despair, Quan Yurong saw a wine company recruiting a purchasing specialist. The salary and benefits were so good that it seemed like something out of a dream.
They offer six types of insurance and two types of housing funds, plus a 13th-month bonus at the end of the year, not to mention various other benefits...
The information about this winery lists its factory name as Meijiuhua Winery, and its address as Ling'an City.
At first, Quan Yurong thought it was another scam job, but as she looked at it, she thought, "What if it's real?" So she casually sent a greeting message to ask if they were still hiring.
She sent the message and then ignored it, assuming it would be like the others, read but not replied to by the wine company's HR. However, to her surprise, a few minutes later, they replied.
What followed went incredibly smoothly. After discussing her previous work experience with the other party, they invited her to an online interview.
The man she was interviewing was handsome and gentle, but one of his eyes seemed to be damaged, so he wore a silver-patterned eye patch.
The interview went well, and the other party invited her to Ling An City, gave her a detailed address, and said they would reimburse her travel expenses.
Quan Yurong was still in a daze even after the video call ended.
Good heavens, is this real? She really found such a great job, and they're even reimbursing her travel expenses?
Quan Yurong was somewhat dazed. She looked at the information about this winery in the backstage many times, and then remembered to check it out online.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that Meijiuhua Winery was actually a branch of Xianshan Farm!
Seeing the three big characters "Li Chang'an" on the company's board of directors' page, Quan Yurong jumped up excitedly, grabbed her phone, and ran downstairs to share the good news with her parents!
That's why Quan Yurong is on the bullet train at this moment.
She suppressed her excitement and scrolled through Weige's posts.
Meijiuhua Winery has been recruiting for a week, and many netizens have realized that this winery is a branch of Xianshan Farm.
The benefits offered by Xianshan Farm have sparked heated discussions. However, when they refreshed the job search software, they found that many positions at Meijiuhua Winery had been closed, and the only position currently available was for general brewing workers.
Some lamented missing out on the opportunity, while others expressed a strong desire to quit their current jobs and become ordinary winemakers.
Quan Yurong felt deeply moved as she read the discussions among netizens.
Fortunately, she had the idea to give it a try, so she sent a greeting message and seized the opportunity.
Quan Yurong's hometown is not far from Ling'an City; it only takes three hours by high-speed train.
After getting off the bullet train, looking at the clear sky over Ling'an City, Quan Yurong found that she no longer felt lost when she graduated and went to work in an unfamiliar city. Instead, she was full of hope for the future.
She took a deep breath, hailed a taxi, and when the driver learned that she was going to work at Meijiuhua Winery, she couldn't help but smile and said, "This factory is owned by Li Chang'an. They've been recruiting a lot these past few days. My daughter also went there to work as a mechanical engineer."
"Wow, Auntie, your daughter is amazing!" Quan Yurong exclaimed.
"You're really great! Keep up the good work, you'll definitely have a bright future working in this factory," the driver said.
As they talked, they soon arrived at the factory area of Xianshan Farm.
Quan Yurong got out of the car, pulling her suitcase, and looked at the gate in front of her.
On the wall to the left of the main gate, a sign for Xianshan Farm Co., Ltd. has already been installed.
The eight large characters gleamed in gold, and the background wall had an antique design. Above the four characters "Xianshan Farm" was its logo, which complemented each other perfectly and looked very beautiful.
Quan Yurong couldn't help but take out her phone and take a picture.
She wasn't the only one who came to the factory today; there were several others. Some stood in front of the nameplate and asked others to take pictures for them. Afterward, they smiled and excitedly tapped on their phones, probably to post and show off on Weibo.
Quan Yurong couldn't help but laugh and posted the photos she had just taken on Weibo.
As the group entered the gate, someone came over and asked their names.
That person was a human resources specialist who had already joined the company. He was a local from Ling'an City and had been assigned to entertain employees from out of town for the next few days.
These past few days have been relatively quiet, the tasks are easy, and the pay is high, so the HR specialist is very happy with their job.
After registering the names of the new employees, she led the group towards the southeast of the factory area.
"This is the dormitory building and recreation area. After you put your luggage away, you can take a stroll around the area. Our company's factory is currently located in the northwest. Those two white buildings are the factory buildings, which produce baijiu (Chinese liquor), wine, and fruit wine, respectively. The office building is in the northeast, that six-story building. The canteen is on the first and second floors of dormitory building three. Only a few windows are open these days. After the official opening on the 28th day of the first lunar month, there will be more windows available in the canteen."
Quan Yurong looked at the two factory buildings and the office building in the direction the HR specialist pointed.
The HR specialist led the employees to the dormitory building, arranged their rooms, and then returned to the factory gate to wait for the next group of people.
There are five dormitory buildings, each with ten floors and an elevator.
Each building has couples' rooms and single rooms. Considering that some couples may have children, the couples' rooms are designed with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom.
Quan Yurong arrived at her dormitory and was shocked as soon as she opened the door.
Although it's described as a single room, the space inside isn't cramped; it's more like a staff apartment. The room is well-furnished, fully equipped with appliances, a 1.5-meter-wide bed, a dining table, two chairs, an open kitchen, and a bathroom.
Quan Yurong's eyes widened, and after a moment, she jumped up and down a few times with joy.
That's great! These dormitory conditions are exactly what she had in mind!
That evening, discussions about Xianshan Farm on WeDove increased again, but this time it wasn't about vegetables and fruits, but about the Meijiuhua Winery factory.
[Reaching middle age, I've surprisingly found my dream job. Apartment was provided upon joining, the factory environment is excellent, and I don't have to worry about our children's schooling. Even though it's only my first day and I haven't officially started working yet, my wife and I have already decided to work hard here until we retire.]
[Image] Let me show you the factory area; it has a garden-like feel.
[There are also shared electric bikes and shared bicycles in the factory area. This is a gym, and this is a children's playground, although adults can also go in and play. There's also an activity center; I asked the boss, and he said that every Wednesday and Saturday, they invite instructors to teach classes based on the employees' interests and specialties.]
[My God, is this really a factory area? You guys aren't kidding us, are you?]
If this isn't a lie, then I know which factory area it is.
I know which factory it is, but it's too late; they've already filled all their positions.
＊
Before the 28th day of the first lunar month, the factory had already recruited all the employees it needed.
On the 28th day of the first lunar month, Meijiuhua Winery officially opened for business.
Li Chang'an did not plan to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony, but he invited many performance groups to perform before the opening.
Lion dance, drama, dance, singers, and many other performances were performed in a variety of professional ways, dazzling the audience.
Upon learning of the winery's opening, Xie Kuling, Yang Hao, and their partners from Hewang City and Qinwang City sent many gorgeous flower baskets and opening gifts.
On that day, some reporters were already waiting outside the factory area, hoping to get the first-hand news interview.
The security guards were only responsible for preventing unauthorized personnel from entering the factory area; they did not drive away these reporters.
The reporters took many photos that morning, including those of major business partners and several leaders from Ling'an City, but they did not manage to photograph Li Chang'an.
As noon approached, a reporter looked at the factory gate and suddenly remembered something. He turned to his colleague who was holding the camera and asked, "Do you think it's possible that Li Chang'an is a cultivator and didn't need to take a car to get here?"
Colleagues and reporters around: ...That makes sense. So what have they been doing all morning, staking out here?
The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, someone saw a security guard answer a phone call and respond to the other end of the line.
Immediately, the security guard put down his phone and came over: "The boss said that everyone has worked hard here, so please have lunch in the cafeteria. After you finish eating, you can go back."
Upon hearing this, the reporters, who had been looking dejected, perked up and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."
The security guard opened the gate, and the reporters rushed into the factory area.
Even though I didn't get a picture of Li Chang'an, the photos of the factory area are still pretty good.
The group walked and stopped, each with their own thoughts, taking pictures of the garden-like scenery of the factory area, and made their way to the canteen.
Right now, the employees have finished watching the performance and are heading to the cafeteria for their meals.
A reporter tried to interview one of the employees, but the employee was walking briskly and didn't stop at all.
Puzzled, the reporter moved on to the next target and stopped Quan Yurong.
Quan Yurong looked at the microphone and camera in front of her and subconsciously said, "Could you move aside for a moment? I'm in a hurry to get food from the cafeteria."
The reporter quickly said, "Excuse me, I'll only bother you for a few seconds. May I ask why you're in such a hurry?"
If you're rushing to the cafeteria for food, it's either because you don't have enough rest time, or because there's not much food available, and if you go too late, there won't be any left to eat.
Online, however, the employees all have high praise for the company, so this shouldn't be the case, right?
Seeing the reporter's puzzled expression, Quan Yurong explained as she walked, "The boss is in the cafeteria. I'm in a hurry to go see him and maybe I can get a photo with him while there are fewer people around."
Huh? Li Chang'an is in the cafeteria?
The reporter was taken aback, then exchanged a glance with his colleague, and walked away even faster than the employees.
Quan Yurong was slightly taken aback when she saw this scene.
There weren't many people in the cafeteria at this time.
Li Chang'an, Tianxuan, Chajing, and Jingjing stood at the entrance, handing each person a red envelope as they entered.
They would also slip a red envelope to anyone wearing a reporter's badge, though the envelopes were thinner than those for employees.
The first reporter to enter, seizing the opportunity, quickly asked him a question: "What is this red envelope for?"
Li Chang'an said, "The start-of-work red envelopes are only given out at the end of the first month of the lunar calendar due to the special circumstances this year. Starting next year, they will be given out on the sixteenth day of the first month when work resumes."
The reporter was stunned. "Me? We have that too?"
Li Chang'an nodded: "Your news is promoting us. Thank you for your hard work."
Touched, the reporter paused for a moment, then murmured, "Will we still have it next year?"
As soon as she asked the question, she realized she had asked the wrong one and felt a little embarrassed.
But Li Chang'an smiled and said, "If you come, we'll have it."
The reporter became somewhat excited.
Li Chang'an then said, "There are still many employees and reporters coming over. Shall we go in and get some food first?"
The reporter realized what was happening, glanced back, and quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, thank you, Mr. Li."
After saying that, she and her colleague, clutching their red envelopes, hurried to the window to line up for their meals.
Standing in front of the window, the reporter was amazed by the dazzling array of dishes.
Each dish is a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, making your mouth water at first glance.
The rice, which is the staple food, is also glistening, indicating that it is high-quality new rice, not old rice.
When they sat down in the dining chairs, the reporter and his colleagues were all a little dazed.
The colleague glanced at the employees around him, then opened the red envelope in his hand. After a moment, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god!"
The reporter looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's two thousand yuan!" my colleague said, stunned.
He didn't stop talking, and all the employees around him looked over.
One of the employees smiled and said, "Our employees' bonuses are six thousand."
"Six thousand?!" The reporter and his colleagues were all surprised.
Wow, Meijiuhua Winery is giving out so many opening bonuses?! Is it too late for them to join as general workers now?
The answer, of course, is that it's too late; the distillery has already filled all the positions it needs.
...
Even after the opening of the Meijiuhua Distillery, online discussions remained heated that evening.
In the Xuanling Immortal Mountain, Li Chang'an and his group were having dinner.
"Things at the distillery are finally almost done. Thank you all for your hard work." Li Chang'an raised his teacup, and the crowd, including the spirits, clinked glasses in a polite gesture.
During this time, the sword spirit was responsible for leading the spirits in farm work in the immortal mountain, while Li Chang'an and the other three often went to the factory area to work.
The brewing techniques have been taught, and an experienced manager is overseeing the factory. After today, the factory will be operational.
"Thank you everyone," Li Chang'an said.
"You're welcome," the tea spirit readily replied. "It's quite enjoyable to be busy. Now that tea production has increased, could we build a tea factory?"
Tea essence's eyes sparkled.
The reason he asked this question was not because he thought opening a factory was a fun thing to do, but because he unilaterally believed that the hops and their tea tree family were competitors.
Netizens have been discussing the wine from Xianshan Farm a lot lately, but there hasn't been much discussion about the tea.
Tea essence just wants to see that everyone likes tea and enjoys drinking tea, and that makes him very happy.
Li Chang'an chuckled and said, "Of course you can."
Tea Essence was a little excited: "We can also grow some fresh flowers to make flower tea. I think young people really like this. And those lotus leaves in your pond can also be used to make lotus leaf tea."
Tianxuan added from the side, "If we raise some dairy cows, we can make milk tea."
Li Chang'an listened to each sentence carefully, then subconsciously looked at Jingjing, his eyes asking if he had anything to add.
Jingjing: ...
"I think everything is fine."
Li Chang'an smiled.
"Okay, then our next goal for Xianshan Farm Co., Ltd. is to build a tea factory!"
The tea connoisseur held the teacup and nodded excitedly.
＊
Everything is running smoothly at the distillery.
On the second day of the second lunar month, Li Chang'an harvested vegetables and spirit rice using the mountain god's deer antlers.
He is now at the Nascent Soul stage, and the effect of the mountain god's antlers on doubling mature vegetables has changed, now tripling their effect.
This is the third time Li Chang'an has harvested vegetables since the Lantern Festival.
The large batch of vegetables and rice harvested earlier were stored in a storage box and will be sold together with this batch.
On the third day of the second lunar month, Li Chang'an started a live broadcast.
Fans who hadn't watched the live stream for over a month quickly rushed in.
In the first live stream after the New Year, Xianshan Farm will sell a large quantity of vegetables, greatly increasing their chances of securing them.
Wow, I'm so glad you're streaming again!
Everyone's been talking about your company lately, sob sob, is there any chance you're still hiring? I really want to work for your company!
Everyone knows your winery is called Meijiuhua Winery now, so when will your products be available?
Li Chang'an greeted the netizens with a smile and answered the questions in the live chat: "Whether we are hiring depends on the situation. You can follow the official accounts of Xianshan Farm on various platforms."
For this recruitment drive, they simply established a marketing department and an online department for the company. Now, Xianshan Farm has official accounts on several websites, and staff members are responsible for operating them.
"As for Meijiuhua Winery's products, they will probably be available online soon, and you can purchase them through the Xianshan Farm app."
"The winery at Xianshan Farm is a separate business. The wine will not be available for purchase during my live stream. My live streams mainly sell premium agricultural products. Please don't get confused."
Wow! It looks so high-end now!
【good! 】
Li Chang'an then gave a brief introduction to the wines that might be available in the future.
Each type of wine comes in two qualities: the cheapest is made solely with hops, while the more expensive is made with both hops and other plants.
Since the fruit trees on Jiarong Mountain have all become of spiritual quality, the fruit wine must be brewed using fruits from the Cangxuan Realm.
The purchasing department will look for the highest quality fruit. As long as there are hops, the final fruit wine will taste good, which allows the price of the fruit wine to be set lower.
The simple introduction piqued the interest of netizens, who flooded the comments section with requests for the drinks to be available.
Li Chang'an offered a few words of reassurance and then began to introduce the vegetables and spirit rice that would be sold today.
Some netizens noticed that there was no fruit this time.
【Huh, are the fruits out of season yet?】
"We're out of fruit for now, but we're selling millions more of every kind of vegetable than we did at this time last year. Get ready to rush to buy!"
Upon hearing this news, netizens were quite surprised.
They have witnessed firsthand the increasing supply of vegetables at Xianshan Farm, yet there are still always people who can't get their hands on them.
The sheer number of new purchases this time means that at least several hundred thousand more people will be able to buy them.
They immediately began rubbing their hands together, ready to grab the vegetables, and for a moment they no longer cared about the fruit.
