Although Bai Yu had just returned to China and had been away for more than half a year, many people greeted him after he arrived at the processing plant.
It's just past noon now. Their processing plant not only provides meals, but also has an hour for lunch.
For employees who eat quickly, a short lunch break is still possible.
The factory won't interfere with this matter. Whether they want to go home or stay at the factory, that's fine with them.
Bai Yu arrived relatively late. Many of the factory workers had already finished eating, but they didn't leave the restaurant; instead, they stayed and chatted.
After all, it's more comfortable to be in the canteen with the big electric fan in the factory than to go home and turn on the air conditioner yourself.
As for air conditioning, it won't be installed in the restaurant, but it will be in the processing workshop.
That's why people kept greeting Bai Yu as he walked.
Bai Yu greeted everyone with a smile, whether he knew them or not. He would chat with acquaintances and elders for a few minutes before going to queue for food.
The boss has to queue for meals too, and there are no special privileges. He eats the same food as the regular employees, and there's no such thing as special treatment for them.
Even though Aunt Bai Yu was the one serving the food, and the people cooking in the restaurant were all his father's fellow apprentices and nephews, he didn't have any special privileges.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai then each carried a plate of lunch and walked out of the restaurant toward the security room.
Besides lunch for each person, Bai Yu also brought a bottle of beer, which was for his maternal grandfather.
Although drinking alcohol is prohibited at work, for his grandfather, one bottle of beer was enough to keep him from interfering with his work as a gatekeeper.
Besides, so what if he violated factory rules? At worst, he can stay in the security room for two hours after drinking, until his grandfather has digested the beer, and then he can leave.
Bai Yu and Wang Hai left the processing plant at 3:30 pm.
Even so, his maternal grandfather escorted Bai Yu to the road outside the processing plant, and only returned to the security room reluctantly after watching the car disappear.
However, before Bai Yu left, his grandfather repeatedly told him to come to the security room to chat with him whenever he had free time and tell him about some interesting things that happened during his trip.
Of course, if you're going to visit your grandfather, you can't go empty-handed. At the very least, you should bring some peanuts and a bottle of beer.
My grandfather doesn't ask for much. He probably knows he's really getting old. Now, a bottle of beer is enough for him.
After leaving the processing plant, Bai Yu drove to the company and took Wang Hai for a drive around the company.
After going around in circles, Bai Yu had only one feeling: his company seemed to have expanded again. Bai Yue had done a pretty good job while they were away.
If we're talking about drawbacks, there are some. As the company has grown, so have the number of people in the company who don't know him.
To be precise, it's not that I don't know Bai Yu, but that I don't know the Bai Yu of today.
Compared to before his round-the-world trip, Bai Yu had changed a great deal, the most obvious change being his skin color.
Bai Yu had just spent nearly two months traveling through Africa and then sailing through tropical waters, and he was now very tanned.
Especially in the last few months, he changed the most. If someone who didn't know him saw him now, they really wouldn't recognize him as Bai Yu.
Everyone in the company knows that their boss is Bai Yu, the number one long-distance runner in China and the number one person on short video platforms.
They had watched all the videos and live streams about Bai Yu. Their impression of Bai Yu was still based on his appearance before the trip, when he was a sunny young man who wasn't too dark-skinned.
That's no longer possible. Now that this charcoal-skinned man is standing in front of them, these new employees really can't be sure if he's Bai Yu. They can only say that he looks somewhat like him.
After wandering around the company, Bai Yu then went to visit his uncle and chatted with him.
The main question was whether his uncle was suited to his current job, which involved managing the scheduling of all the ships in the shipping company. They wanted to see if he could handle the workload and if not, to arrange for a few more people to be assigned to him.
My uncle's dispatch team now consists of five people, all of whom are veterans of the shipping company. Two of them came from the position of captain, two from the position of chief mate, and one from the position of third mate.
Five experienced senior crew members were tasked with assigning tasks and scheduling personnel to the company's 72 fishing vessels of various types.
Well, this job is indeed difficult, as it requires professionals with sufficient experience in the wild fishing industry.
Each time a fishing boat returns to port, the captain of each boat will contact them to determine which dock the returning fishing boat will dock at.
You can even talk to these experienced elders about where to fish on your next voyage, and maybe get some advice so they can bring back a better catch next time.
In addition, there is communication and cooperation with other fishing areas, and arrangements are made for some vessels that need to go there to pick up the cargo.
Looking at it this way, five people don't seem to be enough.
Bai Yu chatted with her uncle to ask about this matter. After all, this department was only established this year, and its original intention was to find an easier job for the company's older, soon-to-retire employees.
Incidentally, this can also free up some senior positions on the fishing boats, allowing the crew members to be promoted, which is beneficial to the company's development.
However, as Bai Yu worked, he discovered a problem. He had originally thought of finding an easy job for the veteran employees, but once he actually started doing the job, it was anything but easy.
Previously, Bai Yu was not at the company, so there were some things that others couldn't easily resolve.
Now that Bai Yu is back, it's time to sort out these matters to avoid tiring out these elderly people any longer.
You have to understand that in fishing companies like theirs, experienced senior crew members are invaluable assets. Their extensive experience is enough to train a large number of elite personnel for the company.
Therefore, Bai Yu would definitely not let them get tired.
