Chapter 123 Difficulties
Li Jianshe shook his head and said with a smile, "Whether it's the Fang Group or the Huo Group, they would be more than happy to work for President Fang."
These words truly resonated with Fang Lanxin.
She immediately blushed with embarrassment, smiled, and then whispered, "Thank you, thank you for your recognition!"
Li Jianshe glanced at the time and said, "I'll take the kids back tonight. They haven't been home in a long time. They should rest well during the holidays and write their papers. We don't have much time!"
Fang Lanxin knew the graduates' pain, so she didn't say anything else to persuade them to stay. She simply took out some red envelopes and handed them to Li Jianshe: "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Don't refuse. Just give them to the kids. There's no need to thank me. Just go. I'll find a bus to take you to the airport!"
"Thank you very much, Mr. Fang!"
Li Jianshe did not refuse and accepted the red envelopes generously, then smiled at Fang Lanxin.
Soon, all the children left, but when Fang Lanxin returned home, she found that Cheng Yan was still there.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be going back?"
“My home is far away, and going back and forth would take up too much time. I want to stay here and write my thesis.”
A hint of sadness flashed in Cheng Yan's eyes.
Her family of origin was so devastated that going back would only bring her harm and no benefit. She would never go back unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing Cheng Yan's appearance, Fang Lanxin roughly understood what was going on. In this era, many remote areas were still particularly sexist, especially in remote rural areas. Although Gangcheng was not particularly large, such things would happen in its peripheral areas.
In a way, the port city is a very divided place; the prosperous parts are truly prosperous, and the poor parts are truly impoverished.
"Alright, then stay and write your paper."
"By the way, a friend of mine went on a trip abroad and brought this back for me."
As she spoke, Fang Lanxin took out a laptop and handed it to Cheng Yan.
This product is extremely rare in China right now, and it's very expensive. But Fang Lanxin knows that this is the future trend, so it's best to penetrate the market as soon as possible.
After opening it, Cheng Yan looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "This is... a computer?"
"Yes, a portable computer. Although it's a bit bulky, it's great for mobile work. You can use it to write papers or do some research. There are many software programs available abroad that you can use to draw on the computer."
"You should study English properly; it's the future trend."
After Fang Lanxin finished speaking, she sat down in front of her computer and started working.
Seeing Fang Lanxin's proficiency with computers, Cheng Yan was filled with admiration. It was hard to believe that Fang Lanxin was already forty years old; she had truly always been at the forefront of the times.
Soon, Cheng Yan began to study the laptop in her hand, and she was able to use it very quickly.
In fact, students from well-off families have been using computers for a long time, but she can only use them at school because her family simply doesn't have the means.
They can leave, but Fang Lanxin still needs to coordinate the construction team and raw materials, since construction will start as soon as they return after the New Year. During this time, A Shuang has contacted several construction companies, but when they heard that they were from Gangcheng, they all shook their heads and were unwilling to cooperate.
In this day and age, the connection between the two places is not so close. For each person, the other side is a stranger and cannot be trusted wholeheartedly. This is an unfortunate consequence of the development of the times.
Fang Lanxin took her cooperation agreement and went out with A Shuang. After a whole day of visiting more than a dozen companies, not a single one was willing to cooperate with them.
When Ah Shuang returned to the studio, she was clearly very angry.
He slammed the cooperation proposal on the table, gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "What's wrong with these people? Are they out of their minds? We've come to them with money, and they still don't want to cooperate with us?"
"Take your time, what's the rush?" Fang Lanxin was also anxious, but she remained calm and just kept flipping through the company's information.
The information listed thirty companies, and I've visited them all, but not a single one is willing to cooperate with me.
So Fang Lanxin wondered if she should try some other methods?
"Find out the local policies right away."
"I think we should perhaps take a different approach."
Ordinary people don't have a strong sense of politics, but officials do. They are extremely politically astute and know what future trends are. With official backing, projects will be much easier to implement.
"In particular, we should carefully study the official documents on investment promotion here."
Fang Lanxin took a deep breath and looked at A Shuang.
"This is our last chance, do you understand?"
"I understand, I'll go right away!"
Ah Shuang also knew that if this still didn't work, their transportation costs would increase exponentially.
Fang Lanxin rubbed her temples wearily, wanting to rest for a bit before continuing.
“Mr. Fang, I have a solution. There’s a raw material yard in our village that can provide sand, gravel, and cement, but… but our village is too small. I’m afraid it won’t be enough.” Lin Hu, an employee hired by the company, walked over and said hesitantly.
oh?
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin immediately became interested: "Where do you live?"
“In Liucun, my father is the village chief.” Lin Hu looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile: “President Fang, why don’t you come to my house for a visit? It’s not too far from here.”
"Okay." Fang Lanxin didn't hesitate at all, took a few gift boxes, and got into the car.
They soon arrived at Liucun.
Fang Lanxin had actually spoken to the village chief beforehand, but she never expected that Lin Hu was actually the village chief's son.
"Dad, this is our boss, Fang Lanxin, General Manager Fang." Lin Hu led Fang Lanxin to the village committee and introduced her warmly.
Upon seeing Fang Lanxin, Village Chief Lin immediately recognized her: "Oh, it's President Fang! What a coincidence that we meet again. My son has even become one of your employees. By the way, President Fang, how is my little Tiger doing?"
"He performed very well, very professionally, and very well," Fang Lanxin said with a smile, speaking the truth.
Lin Hu is truly hardworking and resilient; among so many children, he stands out the most.
