A foreign city, dear you

Chapter 182 Small Factory

In front of the people who love you, you are the most relaxed and real you.

**********

Cao Xueqian took Ye Lian and Lan Shan out of a restaurant and walked to the platform in front to take the bus home.

In a private room in the hotel behind them, Cheng Yufei and Chen Pingfeng were still chatting, and Han Yumo and Chen Pingfeng's wives also participated from time to time.

Many of the shops on the street have been closed and deserted, which is completely opposite to the usual bustle.

There are not many vehicles on the road, they are sparse. If there were no traffic control, cars could drive freely on these roads.

What's going on? Why is it so depressed?

Don't worry, let's look up.

The branches along the city are still dark green in winter. And among the dark green branches, red lanterns hung one by one. Under the illumination of the street lights, the lanterns showed a bright red color.

Both sides of the entire long street are covered with lanterns.

Looking from a distance, it looks like two wide red ribbons, swaying and dancing, which is spectacular and really festive.

This scene is so familiar, right?

Yes, it’s the New Year.

These empty shops and empty streets are all because the migrant workers along the city have returned to their hometowns like migratory birds to celebrate the New Year.

But restaurants are busy at this time, especially those medium and large hotels, because many companies or factories have to hold New Year's Eve dinners at the end of the year.

Cao Xueqian looked at the red lanterns on the roadside and felt the joy.

He was already happy in his heart, and the red color on the roadside made his joy even more so.

What makes Cao Xueqian happy is that the factory he cooperated with Cheng Yufei and Chen Pingfeng began to make profits, although it was only on paper.

Tonight, their dinner together was both a last-minute meal and a celebration banquet.

Although this was also a celebration banquet, there were actually only a few people there - three bosses and their families, and a handful of workers.

The workers had left long ago after finishing their meal.

Cao Xueqian has been chatting with him until now, but because his home is far away, he took a step ahead.

Originally, Cheng Yufei said he wanted to drive him, but he said no.

After all, it was so late and it was quite hard for Cheng Yu to fly back and forth. Moreover, Cheng Yufei also drank some alcohol, so drunk driving is not safe.

After waiting for a while, I didn't see the bus.

As the New Year approaches, the city is getting emptier and emptier, and the frequency of buses has become less frequent.

An empty taxi approaches.

Just forget it and be happy today.

Cao Xueqian waved, and soon the family got into the taxi.

The taxi ride today will be a bit far and expensive. But when he thought of the factory's profit statement, Cao Xueqian felt more confident and wanted to be willful.

Leave it alone.

Although the debt owed has not been paid off, as long as the factory business is good, what do you have to worry about?

Normally, Ye Lian was used to saving money and would not be willing to spend hundreds of dollars on a long-term treatment, but today she didn't say anything against it, and she was happy in her heart.

Cao Xueqian sat in the car and looked out the window, which was brightly lit.

How things have changed!

In the past, Cao Xueqian would never have dreamed that one day he would have a factory of his own.

The name of the factory was the result of careful consideration by the three good friends. It is called "Tongxin", which is homophonic to "Tongxin".

The meaning is "Three people working together can break metal."

Tongxin's full name is Tongxin Precision Products Factory.

In almost half a year, Tongxin Factory went through planning, establishment, start-up and production. So far, Tongxin has achieved preliminary profits.

In general, Tongxin Factory has been going very smoothly in the past nearly half a year.

Tongxin's site is very small, it can even be said to be a small workshop - one workshop, two offices and a warehouse.

There are also very few workers in Tongxin - including the manager, there are only five workers in total.

The initial idea of ​​the three bosses is: don’t be too radical at the beginning, build the factory first, and then slowly expand it.

The three bosses are all hands-off shopkeepers. None of them manage the factory. They all work in Lijin. The factory is managed by a single manager.

The manager's surname is Han. He is a close relative of Han Yumo and a very reliable person. He handles the factory's production, order taking, shipping, money collection and payment all by himself.

Because there are three bosses sitting in Lijin Company and Lijin Company is the backer, although Tongxin Factory is small, it has some ready resources and orders are stable.

However, when the order is slightly larger, production cannot cope with it.

Whenever this happens, not to mention the manager, even the family members of the three bosses come to help.

Haha, they are all irregulars.

Fortunately, double-sided tape and sponge die-cutting processes are relatively low-tech, and families can learn them quickly and ensure product quality, although the speed is slower.

……

Even under such circumstances, Tongxin Factory still achieved a profit on paper.

There were few cars and few people on the road. After more than half an hour, the taxi arrived at the bottom of Xiya Garden.

The family got out of the car and walked to the gate of Xiya Garden.

"Dog." Lanshan suddenly shouted.

Ye Lian took a look and saw that it was the female neighbor who lived in 14C next door, walking down the slope with her pet dog.

This female neighbor is also strange. She is in her prime, but she does not go to work and does not have a child. She walks her dog all day long. The fifty-year-old man who was with her last time rarely appeared.

The female neighbor entered the elevator with Ye Lian and the others. Lanshan teased the dog, and Ye Lian nodded to the neighbor as a greeting.

After all, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together. Ye Lian has no interaction with her on weekdays.

"What do you think the girl next door does?" Ye Lian asked Cao Xueqian curiously after entering the house.

"I don't know, I haven't seen her twice." Cao Xueqian said.

Also, Cao Xueqian goes out early and comes back late every day, so it is not easy for him to meet the girl next door.

Regardless of her, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
