Jiang Qing sat down with Niannian in her arms, put her on the ground, and took her hand. "Going to the South? Which city? Some cities in the South are underdeveloped and quite chaotic. You need to be careful when you go."
"Understood," Shen Mingzhi replied.
Neither Jiang Shaozhen nor Jiang Shaozhen mentioned that they were going to see the injured Shen Xiuzhu.
After all, it would be worrying to say it out loud.
After lunch, Wang Sao helped her pack her luggage.
Shen Mingzhi went back to the factory in the afternoon and called all the distributors to a meeting.
The frequent meetings every few days left Director Sun quite bewildered.
"Another meeting?" Director Sun couldn't help but ask after she finished her call.
“Of course I only call when it’s something important,” Shen Mingzhi replied.
After all the distributors arrived, Shen Mingzhi spoke first, "You all remember Shen Xiuzhu, right? He was one of the earliest distributors. He was attacked by gangsters in another city and ended up in the hospital. His life is in danger now."
Factory Director Sun, who had been leaning back in his chair, teacup in hand, suddenly sat up straight upon hearing this. "Is it that serious?! And you're still sending these kids to other places?!"
"So what I'm saying today is that if you're afraid and can't handle this kind of thing, you can develop locally, it just means you'll earn less. But if you really want to go to other places, you must keep a low profile and not reveal that you have a lot of money. When developing new distributors, you should also give priority to locals." Shen Mingzhi stood in front of the table and said to them word by word.
Qian Manguan was silent for a moment before asking Shen Mingzhi, "If I dare to go to another city, can you give me the money if I don't go?"
Shen Mingzhi looked at him unconsciously, "Are you really sure?"
"Where in business is there no risk? Let me tell you the truth, Deputy Factory Director Shen, before I joined this factory, I traveled all over the country, and I've even been to the Northeast. Individual business owners are supposed to bear all the risks themselves. As long as you provide me with the funds, and I have goods to sell, I will naturally find a way to avoid these problems!" Qian Manguan said arrogantly.
She looks really young, only twenty-two years old.
However, Shen Mingzhi had heard him say before that he had been selling things around since he was nineteen. Back then, people weren't allowed to sell, and he had even been arrested once.
"Okay, but please be careful." Shen Mingzhi needs someone with courage.
“If Deputy Factory Director Shen trusts me, then I can do it,” Qian Manguan said.
The others were very interested, but still had concerns.
"You can take your time to think it over. I'm going to the south in the next few days to see Shen Xiuzhu and check on his situation. We'll make a decision when I get back," Shen Mingzhi said, then adjourned the meeting.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Director Sun couldn't help but say, "There's so much going on at the factory, are you really going to the south? Besides, Jiang Huanyu's side... has started recruiting, haven't we made any offer yet?"
“They added two more production lines in April, so it’s normal for them to hire people now. What kind of response do we need? If I hire people, you have to finish building the factory that’s still under construction right away?” Shen Mingzhi said with a helpless expression.
Seeing the worry on Factory Director Sun's face, she softened her tone and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, wait for me to come back. Have them produce the products as usual, just like last year. Also, keep in touch with the boss in Singapore to see if he wants to place any new orders this year."
A batch of goods should be ready by March.
Could it be that they bought too much stock at the end of last year and haven't sold it all yet?
Shen Mingzhi thought to herself.
Factory Director Sun nodded, but still couldn't help asking, "Is Shen Xiuzhu's condition really that serious?"
“Yes, he was injured because of our entire factory. How can I not go?” Shen Mingzhi said.
"Then remember to go there. Call the factory when you have time. There are some things I can't make decisions on my own, so you'll have to handle them," said Factory Director Sun.
Shen Mingzhi nodded and turned to leave.
She embarked on her journey south the next day, on a green train that passed through many places.
On the third day at noon, Shen Mingzhi arrived in a southern city. As soon as she got off the train, she found everything to be dusty and gloomy.
From this perspective, Beijing is still developing better.
The train station here is supposed to be in the county, but the roads are all dirt roads. When you walk out of the station, there are all kinds of minivans carrying people, and dust fills the air.
Shen Mingzhi came to the roadside, took a motorcycle taxi, and went to the county hospital.
"Judging from your attire, you must be from a big city, right? Haicheng or Beijing?" the man driving the motorcycle taxi asked her.
“I’m coming back here. I went to another city for medical treatment a couple of years ago,” Shen Mingzhi replied.
"What kind of illness is it? Can't we cure it here?" the man continued to ask.
Shen Mingzhi moved closer to him and whispered, "STD."
The man was startled and dared not ask any more questions.
Sexually transmitted diseases are contagious...
Seeing that he had shut up, Shen Mingzhi took out her sunglasses and put them on.
She was dressed very simply, but she was still incredibly beautiful.
Upon arriving at the county hospital, Shen Mingzhi found out Shen Xiuzhu's ward and immediately went to find him. Reaching the ward door, she peered inside.
There were many patients in the ward, each with their own iron bed and family members accompanying them.
Shen Mingzhi's arrival caused everyone to look at her with curiosity.
She went inside, looked around, and finally saw Shen Xiuzhu at the very back.
He was still asleep, his head, hands, and feet were all wrapped in bandages, and his hands and legs were even in casts.
Shen Mingzhi approached, looked around, and asked the elderly woman in the ward, "Excuse me, is he the only one here?"
"Who are you to him?" The old woman stared at Shen Mingzhi with suspicion.
“I used to run a small business with him, but I couldn’t contact him for a long time. I made many inquiries before I found out that he had been attacked and was hospitalized,” Shen Mingzhi explained to the old woman.
"Oh, he has an older sister who comes to take care of him. She went out to buy food and won't be back for a while." The old lady's attitude softened a bit.
Shen Mingzhi sat down, feeling somewhat relieved. "So how is he doing now?"
"She was brought here after the Lunar New Year and has been in a coma ever since. She's not dead, but she doesn't look alive. Her sister said she'd like to transfer her to a hospital in Beijing, but I heard it's very complicated, so they've been negotiating it." The old woman said, then sighed, "So young, and this is what happened to her."
Shen Mingzhi felt bad, but simply nodded and said nothing more.
She sat for a while, and then Shen Xiuzhu's older sister returned.
Upon seeing Shen Mingzhi, her face immediately darkened, no longer the gentle beauty she once was. "What are you doing here?! Haven't you harmed my brother enough?!"
“I heard you’re going to transfer him to another hospital. I’d like to call and see if I can help. Is that alright?” Shen Mingzhi asked her.
"No need, my dad is following up on this matter! Don't look for him anymore. He's been pampered by his parents since he was a child and doesn't know the dangers outside. Letting him go into business is just harming him!" After saying that, Shen Xiuzhu's sister pushed her aside and sat down in a chair herself.
“I’m here to take care of him too, sister, don’t be angry.” Shen Mingzhi didn’t leave, but said this instead.
