But if Hezibao builds a factory of less than 400 square meters outside, a food purchasing plant + a braised food production base + a hot pot chili pepper planting base, all eight of them together should be enough to meet the quota for road construction!
After two rounds of the game, not only the children, but even Xu An and I, the two little ones, were covered in sweat and panting. It was time to stop the game and take a break.
Boss, he glanced back!
"Thinking? How can you say 'thinking'? This young man dreams about it!"
Both plans were very well-arranged, and Xu An, after listening to them, nodded and rejected their implementation.
Buzzing—buzzing—
For the next eight months, we tried everything – coaxing, cajoling, intimidation, threats, bribery – but we were determined to get people from outside the village involved in the literacy campaign!

"Oh, Mr. Lu, why did he come over so quickly after just a word?" Xu An immediately greeted him with a smile, then looked at the two ladies in front of Lai Yilu and asked, "And who are those two?"
With good roads come good fortune. Before the roads were built, it was said that our company would invest in building a factory there because of the local policies that reduced taxes and provided support, as well as the cheap labor.
As Mr. Xu listened to Lai Yi's account, he suddenly took a deep breath, and an aura of superiority emanated from beneath him. His voice was firm yet weak as he made a solemn pledge to Xu An.
It's not just about reading and writing; we also need to meet the standards in every other aspect of our lives!
"Besides, are these machines used for cooking braised food as difficult as you imagine? To be honest, in your shop in Shanghai, the people operating those machines are all young men and women who haven't retired yet. It takes them more than half an hour from seeing the machine to actually using it. You, Lu Shengnan's family, can do it too."
Seeing that Mr. Xu's expression had become anxious and a hint of interest had appeared in his eyes, Xu An seized the opportunity and spoke up.
"Well..." Lai Yi's words caused a turbulent surge of emotions in Boss Xu's mind. His lips moved several times, but he was only able to utter half a word.
“Boss, those two are photographers, specially invited to shoot Lu Shengnan!” After saying that, Lai Yilu lowered her voice and said to Lai Yi, “That trip was paid according to the monthly rate. If the boss is satisfied before the film is finished, we will talk to him about the onboarding. You asked, and as long as the salary is in place, we are willing to be sent to work in the long term.”
The people at Hezibao have already taken forty-four steps, so it's time for Lu Shengnan to take the first step!
Seeing that Xu An had nothing important to do, Xu Heping immediately gathered the children and left to play elsewhere, leaving Xu An and the others alone.
Turn around?
[Boss, the other two project proposals went wrong.]
"Definitely. There's no job that you can get off work right at your doorstep, with a salary of 1,000 yuan a month, working four hours a day, no overtime pay, free lunch with no meat or vegetables, and no gifts or red envelopes during holidays. If you could get a promotion and a raise if you did a bad job, would the young man be willing to change for such a job?"
"...Regarding filming, you looked at some video websites, and the content we're about to film is almost entirely blank, with virtually no reference points... I suggest making a separate video for each of the eight aspects, including mushroom picking, workers packing and shipping, rural scenery, and fieldwork, and then deciding on the direction of subsequent filming based on audience feedback..."
All sorts of scenes eventually came together to form the purplish-white circles under Mr. Xu's eyes and the conspicuous white hairs that had appeared out of nowhere.
“Yes, not change.” Xu An nodded emphatically: “No one is born knowing how to speak, how to read, or how to operate a machine. If we can pay something for eating meat every day, why should those ‘something’ be literacy?”
"Hezibao, you think what he said this afternoon is very true. Why use brute force when you can make money with your brain? Then you should start preparing to open literacy classes! Make sure that after your factory is built, you can train forty workers who can read and write!"
Li Sixin wanted to explain the details of the two projects to Xu An, but when he looked up, he saw the two photographers and Secretary Li, and he swallowed back what he was going to say.
"Anzi, come over and play Eagle Catches Chicken. You be the eagle and you be the hen! Slow down!"
Of the seven people, two were acquaintances: one was Lu Shengnan's secretary, Boss Xu, and the other was Lai Yilu, an employee of Xu's Catering who had not yet joined the company.
When that was mentioned, Xu An's expression and tone became anxious.
Lai Yi muttered something to herself and tried to open the first document to rewind and check it. Just as her finger reached the bottom of the document, a new message came in, pushing the document down. Her finger landed in the gap between the two documents.
Since Xu An had already said that, Secretary Li didn't hesitate and stayed. However, before they had even recovered from the earlier shock of Xu An's plan to build a factory near Lu Shengnan, they were met with two more waves of shock.
In response, Xu An could only silently give Li Sixin a thumbs up in his mind: Well done!
I had just finished wiping the sweat off the children and my bottom had barely touched the edge of the paddy field when my phone suddenly vibrated a few times. I took it out and saw it was a message from Li Sixin.
Before the factory building is completed, you need to recruit workers. What kind of factory is it? If you are literate, you will have an advantage and it will be more difficult for you to get a job!
"Hezibao, President Lu, that's..." Before the two could finish their discussion, Boss Xu finally found an opportunity to join the conversation: "Is that the support plan for Lu Shengnan and the local promotion plan?"
Upon hearing the word "asphalt road," Mr. Xu suddenly snapped out of his daze, and his cerebellum fully regained its ability to think.
"Although the current plan is to build the factory in Lu Shengnan's area, the recruitment scope is limited to Lu Shengnan's area. Villagers from surrounding villages and even impoverished villages in Hongshan Town who are not interested can participate in the interview and start working in the factory as long as they meet the recruitment requirements."
It's the scene of calling small truck drivers seeking cooperation, having to be polite and even harsh before being breached of contract, just hoping they could come over when they were busy last time, and the repeated, tedious lessons taught to villagers how to read orders and pack goods...
We absolutely must ensure that, after the factory is built, at most forty villagers meet the recruitment standards!
hiss----
Now that we're teaching the villagers to read and write, when the opportunity comes, we can seize it and win right from the start!
The second update will be very late, sob~
