"Little Bao, your mother and I have discussed it, and we want you to take over all the domestic businesses. What do you think?"
"Dad, I'm still too young."
"Kangxi became emperor before he was even ten."
"Dad, the company has been doing fine these years while you were away. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"That's because of the solid foundation I built. Do you know who the high-level and mid-level people in the company are? They're all friends I trust."
"Dad, why are they all women?"
Wang Xiaoqiang paused, thinking Little Bao's mind was too mature and quite shrewd, probably not easily bested by two adults. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Women don't have big ambitions, easier to manage." But inwardly he thought, if it weren't for women, the company would have collapsed a long time ago. Those women are all his old flings!!
Afraid that Little Bao might keep pressing the issue, Wang Xiaoqiang changed the subject, "Little Bao, how many years older is Little Sakura than you?"
"Six years older." Little Bao answered calmly, as if it didn't matter.
"Well, six years older, as the saying goes, 'older woman, holds gold bricks.' If you marry Little Sakura, you'll have two bricks to hold, haha..."
"Dad, do you disapprove of my relationship with Little Sakura?"
"No, it's just that you're too young, I'm worried it might affect your growth..." Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.
"Dad, when Kangxi became emperor, he must have started choosing concubines, right? Those concubines didn't affect him, did they?"
"Different times, different people. Do you really see yourself as a little emperor?"
"Dad, do you think I'm just a clueless little brat??"
"You're much more mature than I imagined," Wang Xiaoqiang patted his son's shoulder, "I don't entirely agree, but I won't oppose it. But while I'm home, I want to familiarize you with all the domestic businesses..."
As they spoke, the car had reached Mantou Mountain. The winding mountain road had been widened, with two rows of pine trees planted along the sides, lush green grass, blossoming mountain flowers, the scenery remained as beautiful as ever.
Wang Xiaoqiang looked at the Mantou Mountain scenery through the car window, recalling the scenes when he built the chicken farm here, thinking of the struggle to establish the business, feeling deeply moved.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the chicken farm. The gatekeeper recognized Little Bao's car and hurriedly opened the gate to welcome them.
Wang Xiaoqiang noticed changes in the chicken farm's layout, it was larger than before, several rows of large chicken coops had been added, the walls of the farm were raised, and there was even an anti-theft electric grid installed.
The place looked completely newly revamped!
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang felt gratified, inevitably remembering Li Xianghong. Ever since Xia Guifang gave birth to Little Bao, Li Xianghong had been managing the chicken farm single-handedly. At that time she was quite anxious and lacked confidence in herself, but now it seemed she had some capability.
"Little Bao, you've come."
The gatekeeper was a middle-aged man from the village, disabled in the hand, unable to work, so Li Xianghong gave him the gatekeeping job for the factory, as a way of helping him out. Though it was Li Xianghong's idea, he knew the factory ultimately belonged to the Wang Family.
He was very grateful to the Members of the Wang Family and greeted Little Bao warmly, also being quite dutiful at the chicken farm.
But today was slightly unusual, after greeting, he mysteriously beckoned Little Bao over. Little Bao parked the car, stretched his head out, and asked, "Uncle Li, what's up?"
"Little Sakura has been transferred to the Food Processing Factory." Uncle Li whispered.
"Why's that?"
"I don't know."
"Really don't know?"
"Well, rumor has it because of Xu Dawei..."
"Xu Dawei is harassing Little Sister Sakura again?"
"Exactly, Mantou Mountain is close to the village. That rascal often waits for Little Sakura at the foothill. The factory manager was worried about Little Sakura's safety, so he transferred her to the Food Processing Factory."
Little Bao gritted his teeth, "Alright, I've got it. Thank you, Uncle Li."
"No need to be polite, we're all family." Uncle Li said, then tiptoed to peek inside the car. Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang in the passenger seat, he jumped with fright and quickly walked around to the other side of the car, respectfully saying, "Chairman, you, you're back."
Wang Xiaoqiang pushed open the car door and got out, smiling, "Old Brother Li, are you satisfied working here?"
"Well, satisfied, satisfied, thank you for your support. Without you, I wouldn't have such a good job." Old Li was quite adept at speaking.
"Alright, no need for formalities, we're all neighbors here." Wang Xiaoqiang said, then turned to Little Bao, "Park the car over there, I'll walk over."
Seeing Little Bao drive the car to the parking lot, Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Old Brother Li, does Xu Dawei come to the chicken farm often..."
"Yes, that scoundrel comes often."
"What does he do here?"
"Nothing good, seducing women, even trying to sneak into the chicken farm to steal, but I keep a close eye, never let him succeed."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang's fury surged, anger forming a tide in his chest, triggering the Sword Light within him. Under the tide's support, the Sword Waterfall of Raging Waves expanded and brightened... already solidified.
"Okay, I understand," Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, waved to Old Lee, and walked into the chicken farm.
Most of the workers at the chicken farm were from the village or nearby villages. Nowadays, the factory also had young workers.
The factory offered wages not less than three thousand at the minimum, calculated annually, workers earned as much as those working away from home, many young people willingly came to work at the factory. With such a good job in the hometown, earning decent money, who'd want to travel thousands of miles just to suffer?
Wang Xiaoqiang's factory also benefited the community.
People who knew Wang Xiaoqiang hurriedly greeted him, with great respect. Of course, there were some who didn't recognize him. Upon learning that the young man was the chairman, they were secretly amazed and surprised.
Li Xianghong heard the news and swiftly came out of the office to greet him.
Although Li Xianghong was already forty, having spent years in the office and away from manual labor, she still looked like she was in her thirties. She wore a business suit that accentuated her voluptuous figure, still an elegant and charming woman.
But unlike before, after years of professional experience, she had shed her rustic air, showing a dignified and noble presence, resembling a successful woman.
However, this successful woman didn't dare to put on airs in front of Wang Xiaoqiang, jogging to meet him, smiling from afar, "Chairman, we've been looking forward to your return."
Li Xianghong's smiles to clients seemed false, but when facing Wang Xiaoqiang, her smile was genuine. Wang Xiaoqiang could tell that.
"What, you think of me every day?" Wang Xiaoqiang grinned.
Li Xianghong saw Wang Xiaoqiang's first words were playful, glanced sideways at Little Bao who had also walked over, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Of course, you're the chairman of our factory, everyone's eager for your return to raise wages."
"Haha, indeed, raise wages." Wang Xiaoqiang laughed.
"Little Bao is here too." Li Xianghong smiled.
"Uh, Aunt Li, yes, I'll take a tour of the factory, you two chat." Little Bao said and wandered into the factory. He took a tour every time, checking for safety hazards.
"Let's talk inside." Li Xianghong said, leading Wang Xiaoqiang to her office.
No sooner had they reached the office, Wang Xiaoqiang became playful, placing his hand on Li Xianghong's body, she glared at him playfully, "Didn't your wife feed you enough last night?"
"You know I have a big appetite. Hehe..." Wang Xiaoqiang smirked, his hands wandering up and down. (To be continued.
