Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help but laugh again, "I'm awake too, wait for me, I'll go with you."

"Well, thank you, auntie."

"Are you stupid? Why are you being so polite to your aunt?"

"I'm going too."

Huang Jianjun's voice, still a little sleepy, came from the other bed.

Ten minutes later, the three of them left the guesthouse in high spirits.

The factory office opens at 8:30, and it is only 7 o'clock now, so it is still early. The three of them went to a nearby breakfast shop to have breakfast, and then wandered around the area to see if there is a suitable factory building for rent.

The winery is located on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by many residential houses.

After a walk around, I saw quite a few houses with rental notices posted, but most of them were single rooms. Even if there were whole buildings for rent, they were very small bungalows that did not meet the area and requirements of the bamboo weaving factory.

Seeing that it was almost 8:30, the three of them had to go to the winery first to help Huang Qingning complete the resignation procedures.

Huang Qingning is a temporary worker. According to the old rules of the winery, he needs to submit a resignation report fifteen days in advance, otherwise, fifteen days' salary will be deducted.

Huang Qingning was prepared to have half a month's salary deducted, but when he got to the Human Resources Department, he was told that all his salary would be deducted. The reason was that there were many orders at the end of the year and there was an urgent shortage of manpower. Huang Qingning said he would resign, which affected the work progress of the workshop.

The salary was originally paid half a month late, and now that half of the month has passed, not a penny of almost 40 days' salary has been paid.

Huang Qingning was so angry that he wanted to go find the factory leaders to argue, but he stopped halfway.

"Dad, Aunt, why don't we just forget about it and just consider it as my bad luck."

"How can we just let it go? We have worked so hard for so long, and now they just say they won't pay us. Isn't this bullying?"

Huang Jianjun was slow to react and for a moment he didn't understand why his daughter had to suffer this loss, but Huang Zhiqiu could guess the reason.

Huang Yu is still working in the winery, and there is a good chance that he will be converted to a regular employee this year. If Huang Qingning's behavior ruins Huang Yu's chance of conversion, it would be a loss.

Huang Jianjun was just slow to react, he was not really stupid, and he quickly came to his senses.

He looked at his daughter and his sister worriedly, "So, then we really don't want to get the money back?"

Huang Zhiqiu sighed, "You can't get it back just because you want it. Qingning's sudden resignation does have an impact on the factory. Forget it. The money can be earned back sooner or later. Let's go and handle the formalities."

Now that things have come to this, there is nothing else we can do.

Seeing that Huang Qingning had no objection to the deduction of her wages, the factory readily processed her resignation procedures.

When Huang Qingning stepped out of the winery gate carrying large and small bags, he couldn't help but stop and look back.

After working in the factory for half a year, she had more or less developed an attachment to it. She even once fantasized about working here for the rest of her life, until retirement.

But things in the world are so unpredictable.

Yesterday she was still looking forward to getting a full-time job next year and earning more money every month, but today she is packing her luggage and leaving here.

But when she thought about returning to school, studying with her former classmates, and taking the college entrance examination in the future, the melancholy and reluctance in her heart were washed away by excitement.

After finding a place to store Huang Qingning's luggage, the three continued to look for a suitable factory.

They walked around from morning till noon, and almost visited every part of the area surrounding the winery, but still couldn't find a suitable place. So the three of them had to find a small restaurant to have lunch and rest.

"Dad, aunt, what kind of factory building do you want to rent? I think there are several bungalows that are pretty good and the price is cheap."

"It's too small. There's not enough space. It would be better if it had two floors. The upstairs would be dry and convenient for storing bamboo weaving. The area should also be large enough, preferably with a large yard..."

"Aunt, I have thought of a place. It's a brick house with two floors, six rooms on each floor. The yard is very big, with a diameter almost as far as the distance from the village entrance to our home."

Huang Zhiqiu laughed, "You must be joking. Whose yard is this big? From the entrance of the village to our house, it must be at least one or two acres of land."

"Hey, because it's a playground, of course it's big."

"playground?!"

Huang Zhiqiu and Huang Jianjun said in unison, obviously shocked.

Huang Qingning explained with a smile: "That place is a bit far from the winery, about seven or eight miles away. It used to be the site of the township primary school. Later, the township primary school and the town primary school were merged, and the place has been vacant ever since."

Huang Zhiqiu couldn't help but be curious, "How do you know that place?"

"There is a small river over there. I saw it in October when I went there with my colleagues to catch crabs. But the place has been empty for a while. The grass in the playground is taller than me. If I really rented that place, I would have to work hard to clean it up."

If it was a school, then the place must be spacious, and Huang Zhiqiu immediately became interested.

"Take us there after lunch."

"good."

After lunch, the three of them took a short rest and then set out to see the place.

It’s a distance of seven or eight miles, which takes about 40 to 50 minutes to walk. In order to save time, Huang Zhiqiu directly called a three-wheeled motorcycle.

The cost of living in the city is expensive. A three-wheeled motorcycle costs ten yuan for a journey of less than ten miles.

It was a bit expensive, but it was fast and the three of them arrived at their destination in less than twenty minutes.

The first time Huang Zhiqiu saw the school, he almost made up his mind to set up the factory here.

The school was built on a piece of vacant land with a small river 2 or 3 meters wide next to it. There was a barren mountain behind the school. There were two farmhouses half a mile away from the school, and the rest was crop fields.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, has a quiet environment and convenient transportation. It can be said to be the best location I have seen in these two days.

The school gate was locked with a big iron chain, so the three of them couldn't get in and could only walk around the wall.

As Huang Qingning said, the house was very old, with grass growing on the roof and the gray brick walls badly weathered. The playground was overgrown with weeds and even a few wild trees the size of bowls. It took a lot of effort to clear them out.

However, the structure of the house is intact and looks quite solid.

Back at the school gate, Huang Zhiqiu said to the father and daughter happily, "I think this place is good. Let's go ask around and see if the township is willing to rent it out."

Huang Jianye couldn't help but smack his lips, "Isn't this place too big?"

"It would be better if it were bigger. Then we can build a few dormitories for the workers to eat and live in, so we don't have to rent houses outside separately."

"That's right. All right then. Let's go find someone to ask."

With the guidance of villagers who were grazing sheep nearby, the three of them arrived at the township government that had jurisdiction over the school.

The person who received the three people was an official from the township government, named He. He was not surprised at all to learn that the three people wanted to rent the school to set up a factory.

"There are many investors who are interested in this school, but the township has never rented out the space. Do you know why?"
