The next day.
The sky was overcast, with faint rumbles of thunder.
The alarm clock rang on time. Yu Hui groggily opened his eyes and looked at the gray sky outside the window. He thought the alarm clock had been set wrong.
He checked the alarm clock several times before he finally believed it was already daytime...
The sun was obscured by dark clouds, the sky was not clear, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Why!
The number of people climbing the mountain today will be significantly reduced!
Yu Hui sighed, trying to clear his head.
Pan Tiezhu came over right after I finished washing up.
"Brother Yu Hui, how many portions are you making today?"
He took a tray of eggs from the refrigerator and stared blankly at the afterglow.
It's obvious.
Pan Tiezhu could also see that the bad weather today would affect his stall business.
"Hmm..." Yu Hui thought for a moment. "Prepare less today, ten portions less of each item."
Pan Tiezhu grunted in agreement and then began washing the vegetables.
————————
At the same time.
At the foot of the mountain.
A man with a square face, thick lips, and a large nose glanced at his watch and addressed the group of about a dozen people:
"It's seven o'clock, is everyone here?"
"Team Leader Chen, everyone's here!"
"Everyone's here, let's go."
"Go! Go! Go!"
The team members cheered and their morale was exceptionally high.
at this time.
A plump aunt with ramen-noodle hair stood out conspicuously in the group.
She stared blankly at the sky, seemingly deep in thought.
"Let's go, let's set off quickly and reach the top of the mountain before one o'clock!" Chen Guoqiang said.
"Alright! Let's go!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
"......"
The team members' shouts were neat and loud, soaring into the sky.
Although most of the members of Group 2 in the garment factory are older women and men, their spirit is in no way inferior to that of the younger generation.
As the group leader, Chen Guoqiang walked at the front, and the other group members followed the team forward.
"Team Leader Chen, the weather isn't very good today, how about we skip the climb?"
At that moment, a rough female voice came from the back of the group.
Everyone turned around to look, only to see the man with the ramen-noodle-shaped haircut crossing his arms and showing no intention of moving forward.
"Wenhui, don't be like this. Our group finally has a team-building event, and you're just spoiling the fun," Chen Guoqiang said.
Yesterday after get off work.
Chen Guoqiang gathered everyone from Group 2 together to discuss today's team building activities.
There aren't many interesting attractions in town: parks, lakeside, pedestrian streets...
Chuanshan has been designated as a new tourist attraction, and many pavilions and scenic spots have been built on the mountain, making it a completely different place.
So everyone decided to go hiking this time.
There were no objections at the beginning.
Who knew?
When Guo Fang mentioned that her son sold braised chicken at a stall on the mountain and that lunch could be ordered there, Wen Hui's face fell.
Her husband also sells braised chicken, right at the entrance of the bus station.
She hopes people will order food from her husband's restaurant, as it's a century-old establishment with guaranteed taste and quality.
Actually, she had her own plans in mind.
There are 13 people in the two groups. If each serving of braised chicken earns seven or eight yuan, then 13 servings can earn more than one hundred yuan.
That's Zhu Laoba's entire day's revenue!
She really wanted to earn this money.
but.
After considering it, Chen Guoqiang felt that carrying a boxed lunch up the mountain would be too much trouble, so he politely declined her offer.
Hearing this, Wenhui felt very uncomfortable.
She hadn't planned to go, but Chen Guoqiang and his team members kept persuading her.
Unable to resist everyone's nagging, she finally agreed to go hiking.
There was only one condition: she wouldn't order food; she would bring her own boxed lunch.
Hmph, how could your son's braised chicken possibly compare to my husband's?
......
"Team Leader Chen, I'm not lying to you. You can check the weather forecast if you don't believe me," Wen Hui muttered.
Chen Guoqiang looked up at the sky; it was gray and there wasn't a ray of sunshine.
This is a sign that it's going to rain.
Why!
He sighed and said to his group members, "The weather's not good this time, how about we come back to climb it another time?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Hui felt a surge of secret pleasure, and a sinister smile appeared on her face.
No one was paying attention to her at that moment, so no one noticed her expression.
“Team Leader Chen, we’ve finally made it to the foot of the mountain, why are we stopping now?” one of the team members asked.
The other group members chimed in.
"Yeah, I got up at six o'clock this morning for this team building activity, so why aren't we climbing anymore?"
"I'm still waiting to eat the meal cooked by Sister Fang's son!"
"We don't need to buy tickets for this team building activity, so why don't we climb?"
"Let's go. My sister-in-law sells raincoats, right by the ticket booth. How about I get a dozen or so disposable raincoats from her?"
“I think it’s fine, so I’ll have Lili bring over a dozen raincoats. The factory will reimburse us anyway, so this is a way of supporting their business.”
......
Upon hearing this, Chen Guoqiang nodded slightly.
"Okay, let's do it this way!"
He paused for a moment, then looked at Wen Hui.
"You don't have any objections to this, do you?"
Everyone agreed, so she naturally had no objections.
"no problem."
After saying that, Chen Guoqiang asked Yan Lili, the youngest girl in the group, to go to her sister-in-law's house to get a raincoat, while the other group members sat down to rest.
