Chapter 1698 Tasks to be Performed
They arrived at Zhoushi after two days of sailing. The journey wasn't boring; everyone had company. The older boys played cards, while the younger girls chattered away.
The fishing boats docked at the port, and everyone started stretching.
The dock is not as lively during the day as it is at night, but there are still boats and cars coming and going.
Their boat was certainly eye-catching, but even more eye-catching were the three cars.
If it were just one car, people would only be envious and surprised. But three cars being hoisted off the same boat would cause a sensation wherever they go.
Ye Yaodong was numb with shock from the passersby. Not only him, but his whole family was numb. Only the workers were still proud. After getting off the ship, they chattered on and on as the workers unloading cargo asked them questions.
When everyone heard that it belonged to Dongsheng Fisheries and that the car was bought by the boss, they immediately felt it was normal and expected. It's only natural for a boss to buy two cars at once.
They bought such a huge ship, but only two cars... But for ordinary people like them, it's truly enviable. Even if they can't afford them, it's still nice to look at them.
After the vehicle was hoisted, Ye Yaodong drove the boat to its designated docking point before disembarking and walking over.
After receiving the notification that they were coming to park, the factory sent a large truck to pick them up.
The workers all boarded the large trucks, while those who were originally traveling in cars continued to ride in their cars and followed the large trucks to the factory.
Along the way, it naturally attracted the attention of the crowd, with a 100% head-turning rate.
Mr. Ye even rolled down the car window, showing off his dashing driving skills.
Ye Chengjiang was the same; of course he had to show off while driving a Mercedes-Benz.
Lin Guangming also snatched a Mercedes-Benz from Linji and drove it. With Ye Chenghe no longer a competitor, Lin Guangwen couldn't compete with him and had no choice but to reluctantly get on the truck and squeeze in with everyone else.
All three enjoyed the attention they received while driving, and the two younger brothers had already started thinking about buying one once they made some money.
Ye Chenghu was extremely envious. He couldn't show off his own car, but they did, even though it was his own.
It's infuriating that he was born a few years later and is still in school, so he can't learn to drive or get a driver's license yet.
Halfway there, the car and the truck parted ways.
Three vehicles headed to the processing plant, while the truck had to take the workers to their dormitory base.
The factory gatekeeper was surprised to see three cars pull up at the gate. When he came out and saw that it was the boss, he quickly opened the big iron gate.
"Wow, wow, I was saying I'd buy a car last year, and I finally drove it home..."
"Wow, three cars at once! That's amazing, the boss is incredibly wealthy..."
Mr. Ye got out of the car with a big smile. "Happy New Year, Lao Zhang."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year! Mr. Ye, you're amazing! You just got your driver's license and you already have a car to drive. From now on, you'll have to pick up all the factory's customers yourself."
"I got my driver's license so I could drive and pick up customers."
The gatekeeper gave him a thumbs up.
Ye Yaodong rolled down the car window and said to his father, "Drive the car to the dormitory building. The luggage is still in the car. Park closer so you can move the luggage."
"Okay, okay..."
Ye's father immediately got back on the bus, just like the people who had just gotten off.
Ye Yaodong's car had already driven to the dormitory building first.
The mother and her two children were going to Shanghai in a few days. He didn't take most of their luggage out of the car, only his own and a sack of cash.
We'll leave the rest of the stuff in the car for now. We'll have to drive the car to the dock, load it onto a ship, and transport it to Shanghai later.
Ye Chenghu remarked, "This year went by so quickly, it's over in the blink of an eye?"
"Where is the New Year celebration over? We were rushing here, otherwise the New Year celebration wouldn't be over until after the fifteenth of the lunar month," Ye Chengjiang said as he got out of the car.
Lin Guangming mocked him, "I just stayed there for one night yesterday. I know you couldn't wait to get out of here, but now you're complaining that the New Year isn't over yet and you've already rushed over."
"No way! Home is so nice. I wish I could just stay home, eat and drink, it's so great. If I come out, I'll have to work hard to earn money."
Ye Chengjiang lied through his teeth, and then threw his luggage at him.
"Do more and talk less! Take my luggage upstairs, and I'll park the car over there in the corner."
Lin Guangming, holding the luggage that had been thrown to him, tossed it to Lin Guangwen, saying, "Take it upstairs. I also need to park the car, and help me take my luggage upstairs too."
Lin Guangwen carried a pile of luggage, cursing and swearing, "Damn it! He does all the hard labor, but they get all the glory."
Ye Yaodong called out to Lin Guangming, "Could you help me take my sister's family to their rented apartment?"
"Row."
Ye Xiaoxi pulled Pei Yu along, "Little sister, why don't you stay here? Let's sleep together."
Pei Yu glanced at Ye Huimei; without her mother's approval, she dared not make a decision on her own.
Ye Huimei nodded, "Then you can play here. You can take a nap with your sister. Let's take our luggage back first, and we also need to clean the house."
"I want to be here too!"
"I also want!"
The twins spoke one after the other.
"Then they'll all stay here. We'll head to Ajiang and Chenghu's house later to show them, with the older ones leading the younger ones."
With Ye Yaodong speaking, the twins immediately ran happily toward Ye Chenghu and Ye Chengyang.
The two brothers looked down at the two little ones, then turned their heads away and started climbing the stairs.
"You'd better behave and not cause trouble, or I'll beat you up! I'll take your pants off and drag you to the door to beat you!"
The two brothers simultaneously covered their crotches with one hand and their buttocks with the other, saying, "Cousin, we promise to be good and not cause any trouble."
Ye Chenghu was satisfied, and then signaled them to follow.
"Third Brother, let's go back and pack our things first. I'll come back to pick them up after we're done," Ye Huimei said with a smile.
"Okay, you go ahead with your work. They're safe here. With so many people watching them, they won't get lost."
Ah Guang also said, "Let us know when you're going to Shanghai, and we'll prepare in advance."
"Will do."
Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing also went back to their room.
He lay sprawled out on the bed.
Lin Xiuqing wrung out a rag, wiped the bed first, and then took out the quilt that had been stored away in the closet before the New Year and put it on the bed.
"It's all done. Lie down and rest for a while. You've been on the boat for two days and you must be tired. We can talk about the factory later when you're awake. Anyway, no one's coming to look for us."
Ye Yaodong quickly took off his clothes and pants. "We're all back now, what's a little longer? I'm going to take a nap to recharge. You should take a nap too, you can't rest well on the boat."
Lin Xiuqing stretched and yawned.
It's good that the children have all left, so the older kids can watch over things and they can catch up on their sleep in peace.
Many factories haven't started operations yet and don't need their deliveries. As long as the factories arrange shift changes and maintain normal processing and production, there are no external troubles. As long as the factories are managed well, there generally won't be any major issues.
He had a peaceful New Year. At most, the factory would call every two or three days to report on the production progress. There was no need to go out. As long as he managed the internal affairs well, there wouldn't be any major problems.
"Which school will your son and daughter attend when they go to Shanghai?"
"Check if the primary and middle schools near the villa will accept your son. It's okay to pay more tuition fees. If they won't accept him, then arrange for him to attend a school closer to your eldest son."
"Back then, Chenghu wasn't allowed to enroll in schools in Puxi, so these two probably won't be allowed either, right?"
"I'll go ask in a couple of days; right now I'm just guessing."
Today is the 13th of the lunar calendar. Tomorrow he will sort out things at the factory, and on the 15th he will take them to Shanghai.
Just then, Ye Chenghu was enrolled at the age of fifteen, and enrolling him allowed us to arrange for two other students to attend school temporarily.
Ye Yaodong thought that after he woke up, he would make a phone call in advance to make arrangements so that he could register directly when he went there the day after tomorrow.
He also mentally reviewed what he needed to do after arriving in Shanghai.
With the important matter of enrolling his child in school settled, he still had to go to the Jiangnan Shipyard to inspect his Pioneer II first, and then find an auspicious day to sail it back.
There are two more ocean-going vessels at the Donghai Shipyard and another shipyard. After the Pioneer is inspected, we will also inspect the No. 8 and No. 9 vessels. Who knows, we might be able to sail all three ships back together.
We also need to check the progress of other ships, such as Dongyu No. 2 and No. 3, and then place another order for the Xianfeng No. 3 fresh catcher.
This is what he needs to do next. Another important thing is the Shanghai office; he needs to get the team up after the New Year.
The location has been decided. He rented an office building before the Lunar New Year, choosing Puxi for its proximity to home.
Pudong is still dilapidated and under construction. It's not too late to rent a nicer one in Pudong after the Oriental Pearl Tower is completed.
He planned to arrange for two assistants from his family to take with him, and he would just pick two of his own cousins. Anyway, they would only be doing odd jobs at first, so it would be a good learning opportunity for young people.
With his own family members following Ah Qing, he could feel more at ease and have someone to look after them. Once the office was running smoothly, he could hire more staff. For now, having three people there to oversee things and receive guests would be enough.
Thinking of this, he then thought of hiring bodyguards. He would hire two women to help out, making a total of five people for A-Qing and his group, which would be enough.
Ye Yaodong listed out the things that needed to be done, and there were quite a few.
He'll be very busy in Shanghai this time; he estimates he'll stay for at least a week, maybe 10 days.
After returning and finishing his work at the factory, he will definitely go out to sea again. He has suddenly added three large longboats. It is also the first trip of the year, and he will have to go out to sea with them first.
Going home is great, it feels like there's nothing to do. But when I come back, I realize there's a ton of things to do, and most of them are urgent. I have to get a series of things done as soon as I arrive.
As soon as they lay down, the couple couldn't just go to sleep. He listed the things they needed to do next to Aqing to see if anything had been forgotten.
After saying that, the couple finally slept soundly until the afternoon, not waking up until almost 4 p.m. They were only woken up because the children downstairs were making noise; otherwise, they probably could have slept until sunset.
As they went downstairs, several people were chattering away, introducing their cars to the workers.
P.S.: I'm stuck on this transitional chapter, so that's all.
