"Brother Yannian".
"Brother Yannian, you've arrived."
"Brother Yannian, what exactly did you call us over here for?"
Inside the brewery, which was formerly the cannery, more than thirty workers looked at Jiang Yannian with suspicion.
They had come home today to visit their families and originally planned to go straight home. But because of Jiang Yannian's invitation, they all came instead.
They will choose to ignore others when they call them.
However, since Jiang Yannian called out, they still had to give him face.
After all, things are always a matter of human actions and divine retribution!
Back when Jiang Yannian and Shen Youde partnered to run the Dongshan Canned Food Factory, Jiang Yannian treated them very well. Even after the Dongshan Canned Food Factory went bankrupt, Jiang Yannian used his own savings to pay their wages.
Therefore, compared to the cold and ruthless Shen Youde, they admired Jiang Yannian more, and Jiang Yannian was more popular.
"Brother Yannian, if you need anything, just let me know."
One male worker said, "Back then, my wife had a difficult childbirth and urgently needed ten yuan for hospitalization. I couldn't borrow any money anywhere. It was you who lent me this money, which allowed my wife to successfully give birth and saved the lives of both mother and child."
"If it weren't for you, Brother Yannian, I would have no wife and son by now."
The male worker stared intently at Jiang Yannian: "So, Brother Yannian, if you ever need anything, I'll definitely help you, no question about it!"
"Yes, Brother Yannian, you lent me money for my father's medical expenses when he was sick."
“I remember the year I broke my leg, Shen Youde wanted to fire me, but you, Brother Yannian, kept me and even gave me a subsidy so I could get my leg treated. Otherwise, I would be a cripple now!”
"I remember when I was pregnant, it was Brother Yan Nian who gave me leave so I could focus on my pregnancy. Otherwise, how could my daughter have grown up so safely and healthily into the young woman she is today?"
The other workers also looked at Jiang Yannian with great gratitude.
"Alright, alright."
"We haven't seen each other for years, so let's be happy and not bring up old stories."
"What's past is past, it's over and done with, it's nothing."
Amidst the workers' grateful chatter, the easygoing Jiang Yannian waved to them nonchalantly.
He bestows favors without ever expecting anything in return.
Everything was done in accordance with morality!
Then, under the suspicious gazes of the workers, Jiang Yannian said again, "I called everyone here because I need your help with something."
"But before I get to the point, let me introduce someone to you."
"I think most of you know this person."
As he spoke, Jiang Yannian moved aside, revealing Lin Sen standing behind him.
"This, young master?"
"Chen, Lin Sen?"
"Young master, what are you doing here? Weren't you kicked out of the house by the boss?"
"Yeah, Brother Yannian, how did you end up hanging out with him?"
Upon seeing Lin Sen standing behind Jiang Yannian, everyone present was instantly stunned with astonishment.
After all, Lin Sen wasn't Shen's biological son, and the fact that he was kicked out of the Shen family by the furious Shen Youde had already spread throughout Linhai County!
"Everyone is right, I was kicked out of the Shen family by Shen Youde."
"But that's not important."
Lin Sen glanced at the group of workers in front of him. Although these people knew him, he didn't know any of them.
Although Shen Youde had taken him to the factory a few times before, Lin Sen was quite arrogant back then. After all, as the young master of the family, why would Lin Sen bother with these lowest-level workers?
"Dear uncles and aunts, I asked Uncle Yannian to invite you all here today!"
"There's only one reason I've invited you all here!"
Lin Sen held up one finger: "That means Uncle Yannian and I are partnering to open a factory in our Dongshan Town! We're turning this abandoned cannery into a new brewery!"
"So Uncle Yannian and I discussed it and decided to invite everyone back to work with us!"
So, everyone...
Lin Sen scanned the group of workers: "Would you like to return to Dongshan Town and work with me and Uncle Yannian?"
Whoosh!
Instantly, all thirty-odd workers turned to look at Jiang Yannian.
No one spoke first.
After all, they didn't know whether Lin Sen was reliable or not.
If Lin Sen is unreliable, the factory might go bankrupt within a few months of their return. What will they do then? Starve?
Nobody wants to gamble with their livelihood!
"Brother Yannian, are you really going to partner with him to open a factory?"
"Yes, Brother Yannian, Boss Shen is also planning to open a brewery. If you open your brewery now, can you compete with Boss Shen?"
"Brother Yannian, I think you should think about it more!"
Several workers whispered among themselves, trying to dissuade Jiang Yannian from acting rashly.
"Everyone, listen to me."
"I know what you're worried about."
Lin Sen looked at the group of workers in front of him with utmost seriousness: "First of all, Uncle Yannian and I do indeed plan to open a brewery. We have already purchased the machinery, equipment, and raw materials such as hops and malt. These things are piled up in the warehouse behind you."
"You can go and take a look later."
"I absolutely did not lie to you."
Lin Sen said, "Secondly, I know you are afraid that our factory can't compete with Shen Youde."
"Don't worry about that. Uncle Yannian and I are confident that our beer will be just as good as Shen Youde's!"
"Have you all tried the spicy crayfish, spicy baby crabs, and spicy yellow croaker that are so popular in the city lately?"
"This is what I developed."
"These are all very profitable."
"So our factory isn't short of money!"
Lin Sen changed the subject: "Of course, I'm asking you to come back to work. The most important thing is still your salary!"
“I inquired beforehand and found out that you only receive thirty yuan a month in the city. That's a full five yuan less than people with household registration in Linhai County!”
Lin Sen stretched out his hand: "Damn it, Shen Youde is a heartless bastard."
“He started his business in our Dongshan Town, but he doesn’t know how to give back to the people of Dongshan Town.”
"What a bastard!"
Lin Sen glared angrily at the thirty-odd workers: "Aren't you angry about this?"
Upon hearing this, all thirty-odd workers lowered their heads, their lips twitching violently.
Because they were registered as rural residents of Dongshan Town, while the workers in Linhai County were registered as urban residents, Shen Youde paid them five yuan less in wages each month.
Of course they were angry.
But what's the point of getting angry?
Because they don't dare, there are plenty of other people who will do it!
What Linhai County has the least shortage of now is workers.
So there's nothing they can do but endure it, no matter how frustrated they are, and they can only work honestly!
“Dear uncles and aunts, I can promise you that you will come back and work with me and Uncle Yannian.”
“Every month.”
Lin Sen scanned the crowd, then slowly extended his hand, spreading his five fingers: "I'll give it to you."
"Open this number!"
