"Good, good, good!" Wang Tao exclaimed excitedly, saying "good" three times in a row.
Chen Ze, who was standing next to him, suggested, "President Wang, since the researchers have made great contributions, I recommend that each researcher be awarded 10,000 yuan this month."
Mr. Wang nodded in agreement. He knew very well that if he wanted the horses to run, he had to feed them.
"Yes..."
When the researchers saw that General Manager Wang had agreed, they jumped for joy. This 10,000 yuan was not just a reward, but an affirmation and honor of their achievements.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Ze wandered around the fourth and fifth floors before leaving Dajiang Drones with Wang Siyu.
In the car, Chen Ze instructed, "Uncle De, go to Baishen Cardboard Packaging Factory."
The distance between Dajiang UAV Company and Baishen Cardboard Packaging Factory is only 1.5 kilometers, which is very close. It only takes two or three minutes to reach the destination by car.
There was a red recruitment notice posted at the entrance, indicating that Baishen Packaging Company was short of staff.
Chen Ze led Wang Siyu into the workshop, where the air was filled with all sorts of strange smells. There were about fifty people in the workshop, and the two walked around looking at the place.
When they reached the third large paper cutter, they saw Hu Baiyan adjusting the machine.
"cough!"
Chen Ze coughed lightly, successfully attracting Hu Baiyan's attention. He turned around and saw Chen Ze and the other person standing behind him.
He quickly greeted him, "Brother Chen, what brings you here? You're a rare guest."
"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd check how things are going. How are your orders lately?"
"Brother Chen, the orders from those four companies you introduced are already booked until next year. Many companies in the vicinity are coming to me to cooperate, but I haven't accepted any of them. I'm simply too busy to handle them all."
"Hire more workers, Brother Baiyan, many hands make light work."
“We’ve been recruiting, but young people aren’t very willing to work in a cardboard box factory. Most of the workers are older men and women, and half of them are from our village who have come to stay with me.”
Chen Ze patted him on the shoulder:
"Now that you're a boss and have money, they'll definitely want to come and rely on you. If it were when you were poor, they probably wouldn't even give you a second glance. Of course, it doesn't matter if they're easy to work with, but if any fellow villagers come in just to freeload, fire them all."
Hu Baiyan nodded solemnly and did whatever Chen Ze said. He was not very proficient in management at the moment, so he knew his shortcomings. Now he would study management for two hours almost every day after get off work.
After he set up the machine, he took Chen Ze to the office. As they passed the reception desk, the receptionist said, "Mr. Hu, there's a woman who says she's your girlfriend. I've already asked her to wait for you in the reception room."
"Girlfriend?" Hu Baiyan said irritably, "Xiao Jiang, where would I get a girlfriend? Did she fall from the sky? I've heard of rain, snow, and hail, but I've never heard of a girlfriend falling from the sky."
Xiao Jiang covered his mouth in shock: "Mr. Hu, could that woman be a con artist? Should I call the police right now?"
Hu Baiyan waved his hand: "Forget it, don't call the police for now. I'll go check it out first."
After saying that, he walked towards the reception room. Chen Ze and the other man followed him out of curiosity, wanting to see what kind of swindler dared to be so bold as to commit fraud directly inside the company.
When they arrived at the reception room, Hu Baiyan looked at the woman inside with a mixture of love and hate in his eyes.
"Dai Qiuju, you're already married, how can you still pretend to be my girlfriend? Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Baiyan, what are you saying? I'm your girlfriend."
After saying that, she excitedly walked over and wanted to hug him, but Hu Baiyan pushed her away.
Although Hu Baiyan pushed her away, she was not angry. She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with her finger.
Then he began to explain: "Baiyan, I divorced him. I was deceived by that man. When he married me, the dowry he gave was borrowed from banks and relatives and friends. He borrowed a total of more than 250,000 yuan. When will I be able to pay back so much money?"
"Don't call me Baiyan, please call me by my full name Hu Baiyan. And what does what you're saying have to do with me?"
Dai Qiuju was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Haven't you always wanted to marry me? I'm divorced now, this is your biggest chance, are you still going to hesitate?"
"Let me tell you, Hu Baiyan, there's a line of men in the village who want to marry me, stretching from one end of the village to the other. If it weren't for the fact that we've been dating for several years, I wouldn't have come looking for you."
"You should go find someone else. My family is too poor to give you a dowry of 200,000 yuan," Hu Baiyan refused.
"How could you not have money? Hu Baiyan, you've hired so many workers in this factory, your monthly wages must be over 100,000 yuan."
Her words made Hu Baiyan both angry and amused: "Even if I'm rich, why would I marry a divorced woman like you? You don't deserve 200,000 yuan."
Upon hearing this, Dai Qiuju's face flushed red with anger: "Hu Baiyan, how could you become so heartless? You've slept with me for so many years, and now you don't want me anymore."
Hu Baiyan sneered: "This is all because you abandoned me last year. When I was poor and destitute, you threw yourself into someone else's arms without hesitation. Now that I'm doing better, you want to cling to me. There's no such thing as a free lunch."
He had absolutely no liking for women who only wanted to enjoy themselves and were unwilling to suffer with him.
At this moment, Chen Ze spoke up: "Madam, matters of the heart cannot be forced. You have already hurt him once, so don't bother him anymore."
Dai Qiuju glared fiercely at Chen Ze, then looked at Hu Baiyan with a resolute glint in her eyes: "Fine, Hu Baiyan, you'll regret this." With that, she turned and quickly left the reception room.
Hu Baiyan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then turned to Chen Ze and Wang Siyu and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry you had to see this."
Chen Ze patted him on the shoulder: "Stay away from women like that. Focus on developing your career. With your abilities, this cardboard box factory will definitely thrive."
Hu Baiyan nodded. He knew that producing these cardboard boxes required no special technology and was very simple and easy to understand.
Suddenly, his eyes hardened again: "That's right, I need to focus all my energy on the factory and not let irrelevant people affect my plans."
He then sat down at the coffee table, brewed a pot of tea to entertain Chen Ze and Wang Siyu, as if the farce that had just occurred had never happened.
He only recently learned how to brew tea, and his technique isn't smooth enough yet; he probably needs to practice for a while longer.
"Brother Baiyan, please have two security guards watch the gate and not let just anyone in."
"Is it necessary? I feel like the security guards are a bit redundant. Aren't there already security guards at the main gate of the industrial park?"
Chen Ze said seriously, "It's very necessary. If bad guys sneak into the workshop and cause damage one day, we'll be in big trouble. Those cardboard boxes aren't worth much, but the machines are."
Hu Baiyan thought Chen Ze made sense; each machine in the factory cost more than 50,000 yuan.
