Chapter 53: I'm not in love yet, I'm relieved
The powerful business owners at the banquet were quite impressive, and based on their guesses about Jiang Yu's identity, they were all extremely polite to her.
Even though he knew that the enamel factory built by Jiang Yujian had not yet been completed and was only the first small tentative investment after returning to China, he still praised her again and again.
Finally, in order to make Jiang Yu remember them and leverage on her powerful family connections, they took the initiative to place a few orders.
All in all, Jiang Yu didn't lose anything from this trip.
Not only did he make the overseas wealthy family look impressive and solidify his position as the sole heir, he also brought business to the enamel factory.
At least the factory doesn’t have to worry about sales in the next six months.
After the banquet, Mayor Zhang warmly invited her to go to the theater to watch the song and dance troupe's performance tomorrow.
The spirit and outlook of the song and dance troupes of this era were completely different from those of the future, and Jiang Yu was somewhat interested in it.
But tomorrow is the day when the enamel factory will begin construction, and there will be a small ceremony. As the factory director, she cannot be absent, so she can only decline reluctantly.
After the banquet, Jiang Yu rested in the International Hotel for one night and returned to Xiaohe Village the next morning.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the factory was a great event, so Zheng Shu and Mayor Gu came to the village early, not to mention the villagers, almost all of them were present.
Jiang Yu followed the local ground-breaking ceremony and placed an offering table on the ground, on which were placed fruits, snacks, incense and candles.
The factory director Jiang Yu, the county magistrate Zheng Shu, and the town mayor Gu burned incense and prayed for smooth construction, the safety of the workers, etc.
Next came the speech and introduction of the factory. After all this was done, firecrackers were set off, announcing the start of the factory construction project.
It was the first time for Jiang Yu to do this, and she felt very involved. Looking at the firecrackers and red paper scattered on the ground and the villagers' happy shouts, she felt extremely festive.
Before the factory started operating, Zhou Tinghuai hired three chefs, one male and two female, who were very efficient and clean.
After the ceremony, a table was set for Jiang Yu and Mayor Zheng Shugu to have dinner, a standard big pot meal.
But Jiang Yu gave them a lot of money, and they were also told not to be frugal, so they used enough ingredients and there was no shortage of meat, so the dishes tasted good.
Even Zheng Shu joked that these workers were lucky to have a generous boss like Jiang Yu.
After the meal, there was still work to do at the unit. Zheng Shu and Mayor Gu saw that every worker was full of energy and everything was going well, so they left with peace of mind.
Zhou Tinghuai's coordination was indeed good. None of the workers he recruited were lazy and all of them were capable. In addition, they ate well while working, so they were too embarrassed to hide their strength and all wanted to do their job well.
As for the road construction, it was arranged by the county, so Jiang Yu didn't have to worry about it.
Jiang Yu exchanged a few words with Zhou Tinghuai, and after leaving Zhang Yun to help, she left the construction site and went back to Zhou's house.
The factory has started to be built, and most of the village’s labor force has been recruited to build the factory. Maybe they will be able to become workers in the future.
Now when Jiang Yu walks in the village, she is truly a celebrity. Villagers greet her politely and even enthusiastically give her some home-cooked food.
Jiang Yu returned to Zhou's house, with her hands so full of dried fruits, meat and other things that she couldn't even take any more.
What a sweet trouble.
After returning to Zhou's house, Jiang Yu was fed again by Zhang Guixiang. Just as she was about to go back to her room to take a nap, someone came to tell her that there was a call from the village branch, and it was from the bodyguard.
Zhou Xiao specifically asked his bodyguard to call and let his family know not to worry, saying that the operation was successful and that as long as he recovered well, he would be able to start rehabilitation soon.
The call was short as Zhou Xiao was still in the hospital bed and it was not convenient for him to call them, but even so, the good news was enough to make them happy.
"That's good, that's good." Old man Zhou wiped away his tears.
Zhang Guixiang didn't say anything, but there was an awkward look of joy on her face, and she even distributed candies to her comrades in the village branch.
Zhou Tinghuai, who had the best relationship with Zhou Xiao, smiled so hard that his teeth could be seen when he heard the news.
"I knew the surgery would be successful!"
Jiang Yu, who was standing aside, had a smile on her face.
In the plot, Zhou Xiao was able to walk again, and she could guess that if she had the surgery earlier, the chances of success would be greater.
But when I really heard it, I couldn't help but feel happy for Zhou Xiao.
For such a tough and strong person, if his legs were cured in advance and he wasn't suffering from the subsequent sequelae, wouldn't he be even more powerful?
Jiang Yu was a little looking forward to it, and also wanted to find someone to do some work.
Jiang Yu returned to Zhou's house in a good mood. She had nothing to do for a while and was free to look around.
Then I found that mugwort was planted in the garden next to Zhou Xiao's room, and I didn't know where the chickens in the chicken coop had gone. The chicken coop was cleaned very cleanly.
At this time Zhou Tinghuai just came back to get the kettle, and Jiang Yu asked casually.
Zhou Tinghuai looked at her and scratched his head in confusion.
He had no idea that his brother was a taciturn person and really didn't say anything.
"My brother asked me to plant the mugwort because he said there were too many mosquitoes and he was worried that Comrade Jiang would not like to use the mugwort in the room. As for the chickens, he said they were noisy a few days ago and asked me to raise them in the old house."
"We've raised these chickens for so long, but my brother suddenly found them noisy." Zhou Tinghuai muttered in confusion.
People who are used to this sound certainly won’t find it noisy, and the one who says it’s noisy is her.
Jiang Yu's eyes moved slightly. After Zhou Tinghuai left, she looked at the mugwort growing well in the garden and went back to the house.
She thought, no wonder there were no mosquitoes biting her and she hadn't been woken up by the crowing of chickens since she didn't light mosquito coils. It turned out that someone had done all this on purpose.
However, there has always been no shortage of people around Jiang Yu who pamper her and try to please her, but Jiang Yu was not deeply moved by these small details.
But when I returned to the house and sorted out my things, I saw the little leather shoes she wore when she attended her best friend's wedding. I don't know what had happened to the heels of her feet, but they no longer rubbed her feet when she wore them.
Chen Zhi had too many things to do that day and probably didn't notice that her feet had been rubbed.
The only one who knew about it was Zhou Xiao, who was massaging her feet and applying the medicine on them personally.
Jiang Yu poked the little leather shoes and thought depressedly.
How could this villain be so clever? He even secretly conquered her heart.
But it was just about fixing the places where the shoes were rubbing my feet, and I didn't buy new shoes, so I gave a bad review. Jiang Yu's comments were very critical.
She threw herself on the bed and looked at the quiet house. It was also quiet outside. Her bestie was working and everyone had something to do.
Jiang Yu didn't like being so quiet, so she wanted to go out for a trip.
Well, Kyoto is actually pretty good.
She has not seen the Forbidden City of this era. If she wants to buy a house, buying a few there would be a good investment that would make her several times the profit.
Besides, didn’t she just use the excuse of going to see her fiancé to fool her bosses? Wasn’t this itinerary something she added at the last minute?
Jiang Yu touched her head and felt relieved as she was sure that she had not yet developed a love brain.
She started calling the system.
"I want to buy a house, what's the mission?"
Yes, she was short of money again.
Although she still has some money, she wants to buy a courtyard house in Kyoto for investment, so she needs to prepare more money to be safe.
Jiang Yu didn't want to choose a house and then face the dilemma of being short of money.
