Chapter 229 On the Salt Beach



The battery factory started operations as scheduled. Li Cheng would go there once a month, driving Du Dapeng's Santana every time.

Where are the Audis? Where have the Audis gone?

The Audi was given to Du Dapeng. After all, he often goes out to discuss business, and having a good car can also help him.

In fact, Li Cheng doesn’t like the license plate of Audi. The three eights always sound weird.

Going further north from the battery factory site, there is a small fishing port. Li Cheng would visit the port every time he came here.

The vast sea, blue waves and blue sky make people feel very comfortable.

But there are also unpleasant times, for example, today is the day we were scheduled to go to the battery factory site, but it started raining early in the morning.

Li Cheng didn't want to break his promise. After all, he only went there once a month, so he drove with Ai Yi.

"Are there seagulls?"

"Yes, in groups, just like the petrels Gorky wrote about."

Ai nodded and then asked, "Are there crabs?"

Li Cheng was concentrating on driving when he said casually, "Yes, there are not only crabs, but also big shrimps and fish."

Ai Yi was happy. This girl from an inland city had never seen the sea here.

After leaving the city, the car speed increased, and more than an hour later, Li Cheng arrived at the turning point.

Turn down the main road here and the battery factory site is not far away.

This time, the factory was built and put into production simultaneously. Once the main structure was completed, workers moved in to install machinery and equipment.

Life here is very hard. The water we use is brought from a distant irrigation canal, and the drinking water is brought by tanker trucks.

Do you know why the land here is so cheap? Because there are no people around.

But Li Cheng knew that this place would definitely be a treasure land in the future.

Li Cheng did not turn the car into the muddy road, but got out to take a look.

As expected, the rain-soaked road surface was covered with deep, twisted ruts.

The construction site wasn't far from here, only a few dozen meters away. Li Cheng had already seen workers coming out of the factory and walking towards him.

Li Cheng waved at them, then opened the trunk and took out a pair of rain boots.

As Ai got out of the car, he saw the muddy road ahead and saw Li Cheng had changed into rain boots, so he wanted to retreat back into the car...

Li Cheng pulled her out with a smile, and regardless of Ai Yi's struggle, he gave her a princess hug.

"Put me down, what are you doing?"

"What's it like? They've been wanting to meet you, the chairman's wife, for a long time. I can't lie to them, can I?"

There has been a rumor among the workers that Chairman Li's wife is as beautiful as a fairy, and they would like to meet her if they have the chance.

Of course, these were just jokes they said when they were bored on this saline-alkali beach, but somehow they reached Li Cheng's ears.

Li Cheng knew that some of them hadn't been home for a long time and that they missed home, so he jokingly said, "It's not easy to see my wife. I'll bring her next time."

The workers didn't take it seriously, and Li Cheng just said it with a laugh, but today Li Cheng "tricked" Ai Yi to come.

Ai Yi was carried by Li Cheng and walked towards the construction site...

Ai Yi knew that she had been deceived. The seagulls soaring over the sea and the crabs and prawns were all things Li Chengcheng told her to coax her here.

There was nothing but salt flats, endless salt flats as far as the eye could see. Apart from this construction site, there wasn't a single rabbit to be seen.

Of course, there are still quite a few people here, including workers on the construction site.

Li Cheng carried Ai Yi to the temporary gate of the factory, and the workers who came to greet him were stunned.

In the past, Li Cheng always came here with cigarettes, alcohol and other items, but this time he actually brought a living person with him.

"What are you standing there for? Didn't you see the Chairman's wife coming?"

When the stunned workers heard Li Cheng say this, they immediately understood that Li Cheng had brought his wife with him.

These workers were also very smart. Seeing that Ai Yi was still being held by Li Cheng, they quickly dragged over a few wooden boards and placed them on the ground, for fear of dirtying Ai Yi's shoes.

Li Cheng put Ai Yi down and said to her, "Look, everyone is here to welcome you."

Ai Yi was angry and embarrassed, so she pinched Li Cheng secretly, then smiled and said to the workers: "Hello, everyone, you have worked hard."

The workers were already a little surprised to see the incredibly beautiful Ai, but now they saw how friendly and lovely she was, and they immediately cheered...

Li Cheng knew that Ai Yi could be taken out. After all, she worked in a client-facing job every day, and her smile was still very dignified and kind.

Li Cheng called over and handed him the car keys, telling him to go get the things he had brought from the car. The man took the car keys and left. Li Cheng took Ai Yi and walked with the workers towards the largest workshop...

The progress was very fast. Li Cheng was very satisfied when he saw that this place had changed a lot since his last visit.

"Chairman Li, at this rate, I estimate we can complete the installation of the main workshop ahead of schedule," said a technician.

Li Cheng nodded and said, "You know more about factory affairs than I do. I'm the union chairman, and I'm only concerned about everyone's livelihood. Now tell me if you have any other difficulties in your life."

The workers all laughed and then looked at Ai Yi.

"Work hard for 100 days to complete the main workshop." This was the slogan put forward by the leaders of the battery factory.

It has been almost a hundred days now, and the installation work of the main workshop is almost completed. It is normal for the workers to miss home and think about other things.

"Oh, I know some of you gave up your chance to take a day off for work. That's great, but I don't support you doing that. You should take a day off when it's time to take a day off. Even if there's nothing to do at home, it's good to go back and spend time with your family, right?"

The workers burst into laughter and some clapped their hands.

"After the main construction is completed, I will negotiate with the factory director to give you a holiday..."

The workers shouted and applauded again, and people from the construction company also came over.

The workers here are divided into three groups: one group is from the battery factory, who are responsible for installing the main equipment, and the other group is from the construction company, who are responsible for civil engineering and factory building construction.

Another group is responsible for building environmental protection projects.

There are three groups of people and three types of treatment. The best treatment is for workers in the battery factory, and the worst treatment is for people in the construction company.

This construction company was selected through bidding. There is no problem with their technology, but their boss is too stingy and unwilling to spend more on living expenses.

There is no place to shop here, everything has to be brought in from outside.

The construction company sends people out to purchase goods once a week, while the battery factory sends people out once every two days.

In this way, what we eat and use will be very different.

Upon learning that Li Cheng had come again, the workers at the construction company wanted to meet this union chairman who was said to be so powerful, and see what was so powerful about him.
