Chapter 1573 Sweetness
Ye Yaodong arrived in Zhoushan two days later. When his father heard that he had returned, he quickly drove his tractor to pick him up. He was almost moved to tears when he saw him.
“You’re finally back. You said you’d come back as soon as you got back, then you said you’d come back in 7 days, and now it’s been 10 days and you’re finally back.”
"I'm thinking of finishing up my business before I leave, otherwise I'd go back and come back empty-handed, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"Alright, now that things are done, hurry back to the factory. Construction has already started, so let's fence off the land that was approved first."
"Construction has started? That's good, it'll help us expand the site sooner. Has the factory received the payment from A-CaiHui?"
"It won't be that fast. Just wait, the finance department will let us know once we receive it."
It's because he was busy and left in a hurry; otherwise, it would have been more convenient for him to go to the city to pick it up directly.
He realized he had a lot of cash, so he gave up on the idea, since the factories in town also paid deposits in cash. At that point, he was carrying a large bag full of money.
After the workers were all on the tractor bed, he and his father got on the tractor cab, and the two chatted about their recent situations as they walked.
Ye's father mainly talked about the factory's situation, while Ye Yaodong listened attentively while driving.
After Ye's father finished speaking, they arrived at the factory.
Ye Yaodong told his father that he needed to ship another boatload of goods home in the next couple of days.
Mr. Ye's eyes widened immediately. "Huh? You just arrived, you haven't even had a chance to sit down properly, and you're already going back?"
"It wasn't me, I was thinking of letting you go back..."
“That’s fine,” Ye’s father quickly replied, his expression softening. “Then I’ll go back this time. You can also think about whether there’s anything from home that needs to be brought back, and I can take it with me.”
"You're right. We should try to avoid empty ships if possible. I'll ask the common man later if he still wants seaweed. We've stockpiled quite a bit of seaweed this year."
"When are you leaving to go back?"
"Let's arrange the goods today and set off tomorrow night."
"Good, good, good..." Mr. Ye immediately beamed with joy.
Finally, I can return all that mess and go home to rest for a few days. That's great!
"When you finish your deliveries, come up early too. We might have to keep delivering. We need to get this line up completely and make more trips."
"You'll have to call and contact them. I can only deliver the goods and collect payment; I can't do anything else."
"You can also stamp."
"Yes, yes, I can stamp things, but I can't do anything else."
Ye Yaodong chuckled, "I know, I have their contact information, I'll call them."
"That's good."
Mr. Ye was already happily starting to pack his luggage, but then he remembered something else.
"Hey, if your ship keeps going back and forth like this every few days, wouldn't it be more convenient to just put the goods on your ship and send them back? You don't need to find other cargo ships, and it's too slow to send goods by cargo ship."
"By the way, why didn't A-Guang come back with you? We haven't seen him since we got off the ship."
It was only later that Ye's father realized he hadn't seen his son-in-law; he was just happy that Dongzi had returned.
“He hasn’t finished his work yet, so you can bring him up with you on your way back. Also, your three children and my mother will be coming up too.”
"Huh? Your mother is coming up too? What's she going to do here? She doesn't need to look after the house. She's got nothing better to do than come here. If a typhoon hits, she won't be able to get back."
"It's no big deal to come and stay for a few days."
"Look how bored she is, she can even come up here to play. I'm so busy I'm dizzy."
Ye Yaodong was just informing him, not asking for his opinion, so he ignored his complaints and handed over the money and invoices to the finance department for her to check.
I also went to check out the expansion project first.
Everyone saw that he had returned and immediately ran over to report.
Chen Baoxing cried out, "Heavens above! Earth below! Uncle Dong, you're finally back! I'm saved!"
Ye Yaodong was taken aback. "What?"
"I only sleep two or three hours a day, I'm dying, now that you're back I can finally get a good night's sleep."
Mr. Ye coughed lightly, "I have to help with deliveries at night, but I can't understand the accounts and invoices, so he has to come with me. And there's a ton of work to do during the day too; I can't read, so he has to handle it..."
"Alright, take over the work. I'll give you two days off today and tomorrow to rest. You can come home with my dad tomorrow night."
Chen Baoxing's eyes lit up with excitement. "Ah! Holy crap! They gave me a holiday, two days? No, several days! And I can even go home? I mean... really? Am I dreaming?"
He pinched himself as he spoke.
"Holy crap, really? I was planning to work year-round without a break, but I never thought I'd be able to go home."
"If you don't want to rest or go home, that's fine too. I'll give you a bigger year-end bonus."
"No, no, I want to go home. You can only spend money if you're alive. I'm almost dying from exhaustion."
Ye Yaodong patted him on the shoulder, "Then I'll give you two days off, and I'll let you go home."
"Uncle Dong, let me kowtow to you..."
Chen Baoxing clasped his hands together and bowed directly to him.
"You're praying, not kowtowing."
"It's the same. A man's knees are worth gold, so I'll kneel down standing up. When I get married, I'll kneel down properly for you, and remember to give me a big red envelope!"
"Then why don't you just take this opportunity to go back and get married?"
"You still need to have a partner to get married. I'll call my mom right now and ask her to find me a few girls. When I get home, I'll go on blind dates with ten or eight girls a day, and then I'll pick one. Getting married by the end of the year shouldn't be a problem."
Ye Yaodong nodded, "Sure, you can bring your wife over then and rent a place nearby."
"Why not just rent the factory directly?"
"This is a factory. Only workers can come and go. It's not good to treat it as a family compound. What if a bunch of kids are running around and one of them runs into the machines if we don't keep an eye on them?"
"That's true. We'll see when the time comes. I'm still single anyway."
"Tell me about the recent accounts and events first."
"Ok."
Chen Baoxing took out the briefcase tucked under his arm and pulled out the account book; he now had to carry it with him wherever he went.
Who can blame them? He's an outstanding key employee in the factory now, and he'll go wherever he's needed.
"Forget it, let's have a meeting at 1:30 after lunch. Let's invite Manager Qi and Supervisor Yan. You can both give me a report then, so I don't have to look for them one by one."
Ye Yaodong has changed his mind again.
He had just arrived and was a bit tired, so he decided to take a shower, take a nap, and have lunch first.
The other two also need to arrange their own work and schedule their time in advance, so they can't be available on call at any time.
When he got back to the room, he did the math. If his dad left tomorrow night, it would only take four days for him to come and go. Plus, he would stay at home for a while, so he would be back in about a week.
In the future, he can also set a fixed time with other factories and deliver goods every 7 days. If there is bad weather, he can usually know in advance and make arrangements accordingly.
He hasn't told his dad about his trip to Shanghai since he got back. If he did, his dad would probably stay home and dawdle for a few more days.
Anyway, let his dad have a taste of the benefits first, and when his dad comes up, he'll say he needs to go to Shanghai for a few days to take care of important business.
Having just tasted success, his father couldn't turn his back on him, and since he had handled important matters, his father was forced to take over the business again.
He won't be gone for many days, and with Chen Baoxing there, his father won't be under too much pressure.
When the meeting was held at noon, after listening to the important matters, Ye Yaodong also said to Chen Baoxing: "You've worked hard these past few days. Your work is quite troublesome and complicated. After you come up from home, I'll assign you an assistant. We'll start recruiting in the next couple of days!"
Chen Baoxing: "!!!"
Good things are happening one after another today!
"Really? That's great! Oh my god, I was wondering why my left eyelid had been twitching all day. It turns out it's because Uncle Dong is back, that's why all the good things are happening."
"Sycophant! If you need one, you can help recruit one. Do what you think is best. Meeting adjourned."
He planned to call the military again to check. Besides the phone number Lin Guangyuan had left, he also had the phone number the political commissar had given him.
After they visited the factory last time, they left their phone number.
After all, resettling veterans, while not a major issue, is still a troublesome and headache-inducing task.
Lin Guangyuan was still just a lowly soldier, and he had to obey orders and work on ships, especially since he was in the engine room, which normally meant he would stay on the ship.
At the time, I was thinking that if there was any emergency or special matter and I couldn't contact Lin Guangyuan, I could call the phone number that the political commissar had left.
Although he left his phone number, he couldn't just call it without thinking.
Naturally, he would contact Lin Guangyuan first if he could. Only when he couldn't reach him and the matter was urgent or troublesome and he needed to contact them would he make a phone call.
It's been almost half a month since I've been able to contact him. He's finished taking care of some things and will have to stay at the factory for the next week. It would be best to resolve things as soon as possible.
Now I have no choice but to call the political commissar to check.
The call went smoothly. Knowing that the military's phones were being tapped, he didn't waste any time and went straight to his purpose.
The first point is that he currently needs about forty to fifty veterans. This was also reported to him by Manager Qi and his team; the factory and fishing boats also need workers.
Then, after the New Year, he will need to add at least 50 more.
Because he will definitely be going to the deep sea again, and the ship will be short-handed, and he will also have his thousand-ton fishing boat.
Or if the business is better this year, the factory may need to expand its workforce again after the New Year, which he thinks is quite possible.
The second point is that the frilled shark that was recently caught at sea is still alive and needs to be handed over for research.
Another thing is the shell fragments in the tiger shark's stomach. Regardless of whether they are useful or not, they show that he has this awareness!
P.S.: I've finished writing 7000 words for today. I'll start writing earlier tomorrow and try not to break it into chapters.
