The weather is gradually getting colder.
It became difficult for the children to ride bicycles to school.
Zhao Qinglan took out a full set of equipment, including hats, gloves, and scarves, and also bought down jackets for the children from Hong Kong, which are rare in China.
With these supplies, the children no longer have to freeze on their way to school.
Knowing that the school always had a shortage of coal briquettes and the classrooms were a bit cold, Zhao Qinglan donated several tons of coal to their high school in the name of Lanxin.
The school was extremely grateful and wished there were more parents like this who were so generous and lavish.
In addition to donating to the children's schools, Zhao Qinglan also did not forget the welfare of the company's employees.
This winter seems particularly cold, so she also gave her employees some heating subsidies and benefits.
The supermarket in Haishi opened smoothly before winter, and she even made a special trip there.
After staying for a few days and seeing that the supermarket was doing well and everything was running smoothly, she felt relieved and left.
After the new year, their company plans to open several more military-civilian joint stores and new supermarkets, and the entire company is in a period of rapid development.
As the company's reputation grew, more and more people came to apply for jobs.
Zhao Qinglan no longer interviews every candidate for the company. She only personally checks on candidates for more important positions.
Because of the legal talent my aunt brought, even law school graduates came to apply for the job.
Their company finally had its first local legal department employee.
In addition to these, Zhao Qinglan also plans to put the construction of company employee dormitories on the agenda.
There happened to be a few plots of land in the province that were formerly used for factories for sale. Some people thought they were quite expensive, but Zhao Qinglan, who knew the future housing price trend, thought they were very cheap.
She directly acquired two plots of land, one to build company employee dormitories, and the other to keep for future needs.
The news of building staff dormitories caused a stir among all the employees of Lanxin.
Everyone is concerned about when the employee dormitories will be completed, and what qualifications are required to be allocated a room or move in.
Since the building was still nowhere to be seen, Zhao Qinglan did not study the specific details, but only announced the approximate construction time of the staff dormitory.
Anyway, we'll officially break ground next spring when it gets warmer.
Lanxin already had pretty good benefits, and now the housing issue has been truly resolved.
Many employees of state-owned factories in the province who had secure jobs were envious and wanted to work here.
It could be said that Zhao Qinglan had once again given her company a recruitment advertisement, and it was more attractive than any other benefits.
Just before the end of the year, Zhao Qinglan made another trip to Shenzhen.
Previously, she would only make routine visits or attend some meetings.
During this trip, she also had a lot to share with the company's employees, such as the achievements of the food factory here.
Zhang Yu initially agreed to let Yaohua participate in the investment, mainly out of respect for Zhao Qinglan and also out of his own patriotism.
He never expected the food factory to perform so well.
Not only has the mainland market gradually opened up, but after cooperating with the Liao Group, there has also been a certain sales volume in the external market.
In short, the food factory has already recouped its investment costs for the added equipment and even made a small profit. If things go well in the future, it will only earn more.
This also made Zhao Qinglan feel proud among some of the older employees at Yaohua who thought she hadn't achieved much.
Besides Wang Dazhi, three other Hong Kong businessmen witnessed the relationship between Zhao Qinglan and Madam Sun.
Later, news of Yaohua's past relationship with the Liao Group gradually spread, which made many of Yaohua's subsequent businesses go smoothly.
Some competitors also dared not act maliciously again, which was something Zhang Yu hadn't expected.
He now feels more and more that his decision to partner with Zhao Qinglan was wise.
Perhaps some people think that Zhao Qinglan has done nothing for the company, but only he knows that without Zhao Qinglan, Yaohua would never be the size it is today.
Knowing that Zhao Qinglan had arrived in Shenzhen, Madam Sun invited her niece to visit Hong Kong, but Zhao Qinglan was in a hurry to go home for the New Year and declined.
Last year, Mrs. Sun spent the Lunar New Year on the mainland, but she doesn't plan to come this year. She will spend the Lunar New Year in Hong Kong with her son.
After being reunited with her family, she let go of her biggest worry and traveled to the mainland several times throughout the year. Even when they weren't together for the Lunar New Year, she didn't miss them as much.
However, she still sent many New Year's gifts to her relatives in mainland China.
Zhao Qinglan and the others also sent something back. Perhaps the items weren't as valuable as what Madam Sun sent, but they still represented their goodwill.
Anyway, Mrs. Sun was in a very good mood after receiving various local specialties and auspicious gifts from her brother, sister, and niece. She would even share them with guests who came to pay New Year's visits.
On Lunar New Year's Eve, Zhao Qinglan and her family spent the holiday alone at their home.
Zhao Qingzhu and her family of four live in the military family quarters, with her mother, surnamed Sun, living with them.
In Beijing, Zhao Qingju spent the New Year with her in-laws, while Sun Guangming accompanied his superiors to the grassroots level to celebrate with the people.
Although the whole family didn't get together for the New Year, their thoughts and blessings for each other were no less.
Moreover, everything went smoothly for everyone that year, and everyone was in a good mood.
Then there's Wang Dazhi and his two sons, who sold all their possessions and fled to a country in Southeast Asia.
Although they still have a lot of money and are not in dire need of living, the family did not leave their hometown and go abroad voluntarily.
This year, there was absolutely no festive atmosphere.
Fearing that Zhao Qinglan or Madam Sun would continue to cause them trouble, they left a letter for their family before leaving and never contacted them again after they left.
Grandma Wang and the others were already panicked when they saw the letter that didn't explain what was going on, but after a long time without any news from the father and sons, they could only stop worrying.
Wang Dazhi and his family didn't have a good New Year, and neither did their parents back home.
However, they were overthinking it. Neither Zhao Qinglan nor Madam Sun bothered to waste their energy relentlessly pursuing them.
They just didn't know they were living in constant fear.
Wang Xiaofei always felt that his father and sister had gone to the mainland, and he was forced to flee abroad with them, so he harbored a lot of resentment.
Previously, his relationship with his father, Wang Dazhi, was strained, but now his relationship with his sister, Wang Xiaoyan, is also becoming tense.
Wang Xiaoyan had thought she could finally live a good life and get some pleasure from taking revenge on Zhao Qinglan, but now she was in this situation and was in a bad mood. She was no longer willing to deal with her brother, whom she already looked down on.
Wang Dazhi was in no mood to mend the relationship between the two children; he himself was quite depressed.
However, the three of them, father and sons, did have one thing in common: they harbored even greater resentment towards Zhao Qinglan.
They all felt that their bad luck was because of Zhao Qinglan, and blamed everything on her.
