Because the village is expanding and building roads.

The entire village's farmland and such have been heavily requisitioned.

Now, apart from Chen Yang's constant temperature greenhouse in the fields, there's very little farmland growing anything.

Chen Yang first went to the greenhouse, then rushed to the old locust grove to inspect the pharmaceutical factory.

These days, Chen Yang has been very busy, and since the pharmaceutical factory is still quite some distance from the village, he hasn't visited it for quite a long time.

Today, when he had the time to come and take a look, he was surprised to discover that the factory had many more employees.

The entire production workshop was almost full.

And that doesn't even count the collection staff outside.

If you include all of them, the pharmaceutical factory probably has several hundred employees.

With such a large scale, the monthly payroll alone amounts to a lot of money.

Since the factory's opening, although Chen Yang hasn't gotten any money, he hasn't had to spend a penny either.

Now seeing so many employees, Chen Yang couldn't help but be curious about the factory's financial situation.

So Chen Yang walked through the workshop to find the factory's finance office.

The financial staff at the pharmaceutical factory naturally knew Chen Yang's identity.

Although Chen Yang is a hands-off manager and hasn't bothered with many affairs, the title of factory director is enough for the finance staff to treat him with respect.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang wanted to see the accounts, he promptly reported to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang initially thought that with such a large pharmaceutical factory, hiring so many people right at the start, being self-sufficient would already be good enough, but he was completely caught off guard.

The factory had just paid out salaries the day before yesterday, yet there were still thirty to forty million yuan on the books.

Seeing so much money on the books, Chen Yang was both delighted and surprised.

"Why is there so much money on the accounts? Are we actually profitable?" Chen Yang looked at the finance staff, surprised.

The finance staff, hearing this, was a bit embarrassed but did not show it too much, nodding: "Yes, we recently produced a batch of high-quality pharmaceuticals and made quite a profit. All the money on the books is from profits."

Realizing it was indeed profit, Chen Yang couldn't help but feel delighted.

It wasn't about having so much more money as it was the unexpected success of the pharmaceutical factory.

It felt like money falling from the sky, and he was thrilled with this unexpected windfall.

Chen Yang was very pleased but didn't show it too openly.

As the factory director, he still needed to maintain his composure, right?

"Good, very good. Achieving such revenue is beyond my expectations." Chen Yang nodded seriously, then sternly said to the accountant, "Although I seldom handle factory affairs, if you encounter any issues, promptly report them to me."

"Or if you need any assistance, I'll help as well. Understand?"

"Yes, Director Chen, if there's anything, we will report to you immediately," the accountant agreed with a smile.

After having a simple chat with the accountant, Chen Yang didn't linger much at the pharmaceutical factory and left directly.

Leaving the factory, Chen Yang checked the time on his phone and, realizing it was getting late, returned to the clinic, driving his van to the town.

Upon reaching the town, Chen Yang contacted Jin Qiwei, and they agreed to meet at a new river fish restaurant in town.

Jin Qiwei agreed.

So Chen Yang drove his van to the river fish restaurant opened by Caiyun in town.

Just as he parked at the entrance of the restaurant, Jin Qiwei arrived in a luxury car.

Seeing Chen Yang, Jin Qiwei warmly greeted him.

"Brother Chen Yang."

Chen Yang looked over and gave a slight smile and a nod in response.

Jin Qiwei found a parking spot, parked his car, and quickly walked over to Chen Yang.

"Brother Chen Yang, what a coincidence! If you had called me a bit later, I would have been gone. I was just about to leave then," Jin Qiwei laughed heartily.

"Yes, it is quite the coincidence." Chen Yang maintained a gentle smile, nodding slightly.

"Let's go in and have a seat, chat while we eat." Chen Yang gestured towards the river fish restaurant in an inviting manner.

Jin Qiwei remained enthusiastic, his smile never fading.

"Sure, let's sit and chat inside." Jin Qiwei courteously gestured back, and the two entered the river fish restaurant together.

This was the first time Chen Yang visited Caiyun's newly opened river fish restaurant.

The decor can be described as that of a high-end specialty restaurant.

The environment was excellent.

When Chen Yang and Jin Qiwei entered, they intentionally checked out the restaurant's decor and business situation.

They discovered that while business wasn't as good as in the old restaurant, it was bustling compared to other restaurants.

"Hello, gentlemen, do you have a reservation?"

As soon as they walked inside, a server in uniform approached them with a smile.

"No reservation," Chen Yang replied.

"Well, please follow me. I'll find you a suitable table," the server said warmly.

"Alright."

Chen Yang nodded, and he and Jin Qiwei followed the server into the restaurant's interior.

The restaurant's interior was even more upscale, and the space was quite spacious.

Regarding Caiyun's achievement, Chen Yang felt quite satisfied inside.

He took a brief look around and didn't pay much more attention.

After about a minute of following the server, they arrived at a relatively secluded table.

"Gentlemen, does this table suit you?" the server politely inquired.

Chen Yang looked at the table and noticed there was a private room next to it.

Actually, Chen Yang wanted to sit in a private room with Jin Qiwei, but he thought better of it as two people using a private room might affect business, so he nodded in agreement.

This table would do.

Chen Yang decided on this spot, and naturally, Jin Qiwei had no objections and sat down with Chen Yang.

Once seated, they immediately began ordering dishes.

Since Chen Yang had invited Jin Qiwei, it was naturally Jin Qiwei who chose the dishes.

The two men were not shy.

Jin Qiwei took the menu and started ordering.

After ordering, he also requested two bottles of good wine.

"This will do," Jin Qiwei handed the menu back to the server.

"Alright, gentlemen, please wait a moment. We'll serve your food shortly," the server said with a polite bow and then took the menu away.

"Haha, Brother Chen Yang, I have to head back this afternoon, so I can only drink a little with you today. Hope you don't mind," after the server left, Jin Qiwei laughingly spoke to Chen Yang.

As he spoke, he also picked up the water pitcher on the table and poured water for Chen Yang.

Due to a previous incident, he had assumed Chen Yang loved drinking, so he ordered two bottles of wine even while claiming he'd drink less.

"No worries, I understand," Chen Yang nodded slightly, not offering any explanation, just expressing understanding.

"Good, understanding is always appreciated," Jin Qiwei also nodded slightly, then took a light sip from his cup before getting down to business: "Brother Chen Yang, is there something important you wanted to discuss with me today?"
