Chapter 1725: Chapter 1314: Astonished by Kang Li (Part 4)

"That girl Chunxia really is something, why does she always like to mess with you?"

Cai Xiufen frowned, "You’ve been nice to her since you were little. Your dad saw you playing together, so every time you worked, he always assigned her easy tasks, but she still earned lots of work points. She’s got a deep mind, pretending to be your friend in public, while secretly trying to undermine you. I think she’s definitely jealous, can’t stand seeing you do well, so every time she sees you, she tries to cause you trouble."

"Her intentions aren’t right, she can’t stand that I made it here today. I can see through her in an instant. If I’m guessing correctly, Xu Chunxia is not just jealous, she downright hates me. I bet she’s spent plenty of time scheming how to hurt me!"

Upon hearing Kang Li’s words, Cai Xiufen grew tense, "Then you need to be careful, don’t let her get to you."

"Don’t worry, all those schemes and tricks are nothing but paper tigers in front of real strength. I’m not afraid of her plotting against me."

Kang Li spoke calmly and unbothered, not paying attention to someone like Xu Chunxia, a clown jumping around.

Cai Xiufen still felt uneasy. She looked serious and urged, "Don’t get careless."

"Alright."

Kang Li nodded, just as Cai Xiufen asked about the factory opening, "It’s only ten days or so till the factory opens. Is everything ready?"

Kang Li made a light "Mm" sound, then said, "We finished recruitment earlier, and the management team has already been trained. Starting tomorrow, we’ll begin pre-job training for the ordinary workers. The channels for raw materials are all lined up, so on the opening day we can jump straight into production."

Cai Xiufen: "What about the ecological circular park over there? Is everything arranged?"

"I’ve gone to see it. It’ll take till the end of October to finish building it according to my plans. Everything else should be ready by the end of the year. But I’ve already assigned all the tasks—before the New Year we need to finish recruitment and pre-job training, and by spring it’ll be up and running."

"Isn’t your ecological circular park a bit too ambitious?"

"Not all that big."

But not small, either.

The eco-circular parks in later years were on a whole other level, but the one she’s building now has room for expansion. Once the profits increase, she could just keep extending outward.

"With your scale, you’ll probably need a lot of workers."

"Mm."

"Recruit our villagers first?"

"Absolutely. But people with bad character, slackers, cheaters—those will never get hired. One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel."

"You’re right. Later, have your dad screen the candidates for you."

"Sure! My dad used to be Team Leader, so he knows everyone in our village, and knows what kind of people they are. With him vetting, I’ll feel completely at ease."

"He knows plenty of folks from the surrounding villages too. If he asks around a bit, he’ll know their character. Oh, by the way, your dad said he wants to stay home for a while longer, so later he won’t go with us to North City."

"If my dad stays home, how’s he going to eat?"

Kang Li frowned, "Third brother and sister-in-law, fourth brother and sister-in-law are all busy, probably won’t be back home even once in half a month. Who’s going to cook for my dad, do his laundry? And what if he gets sick?"

"That is a problem."

Cai Xiufen frowned too.

Kang Li: "Let’s have my dad come with us. Then during National Day, I’ll drive you and my dad back."

"If your dad and I go back home, what about Ruier and the others? They can’t have all three meals at your godmother’s. And there’s no adults at the compound—do you really feel safe with Ruier, Hanhan, and Weiwei left at home?"

"It’s fine. Ruier’s school has a cafeteria, so they eat right there for lunch. I’ll cook breakfast and dinner for them."

"So you’ll go back and forth between the two places?"

"No need. My dad has a pretty big courtyard house near Shuimu University. It’s renovated, everything’s ready—just move in with our bags. From there, Ruier’s school is right on the direct bus line. In the morning, I’ll send Ruier and the others to school, then send the little ones, and in the afternoon, Ruier and the others can take the bus home."

"You’ll take the three big kids to school, but are you really okay leaving the three little ones at home?"

"..."

Kang Li was silent for a moment, then suddenly thought of something and smiled, "That’s no big deal. I’ll talk to Grandpa or to my dad, and have them assign me a few people."

Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya brought back a bunch of people from their overseas estate, and those folks are all very reliable. Some were raised by the Jiang family from a young age and are extremely loyal. Even those who were hired are all very well trained, and before coming to work for the Jiang family, they all signed strict labor contracts, so there’s no need to worry about betrayal.

"Let’s do it that way then."

Cai Xiufen trusts Jiang Hongfa and Jiang Boya completely. With those two arranging people to help Kang Li watch the kids, their safety is a sure thing.

...

Sunrise and sunset—the days flew by, and before long, Kang Li’s factory opened its doors.

Provincial, city, and county leaders, as well as town officials, all showed up.

With drums beating and a lively ribbon-cutting ceremony, Kang Li led officials of every level around the factory, accompanied by the management team, and the entire factory got a tour, earning unanimous praise from all the leaders.

Whether it was the cleanliness, employees’ mental outlook, hardware facilities, or security, everything was flawless.

And the security team recruited for the factory were all retired soldiers, brought in by Kang Li specifically through official channels—essentially helping the state find placement for retired servicemen.

Further, all Kang Li’s other businesses hired retired veterans in their security departments.

High pay, all meals and lodging included.

"Brother, Li Li really is impressive!"

Old Master Xi also attended the factory opening, and along with Jiang Hongfa, and the other officials, followed Kang Li on a tour. Seeing the spirit and uniforms of the employees, and the almost militarized management, to be honest, Old Master Xi was quite dazzled—he’d gained a new appreciation for Kang Li’s capabilities.

At that moment, he and Jiang Hongfa returned to the villa, chatting in the living room, unable to hold back from praising Kang Li.

"I agree, I was genuinely amazed by my Li Li today too. The management model at her factory is really advanced—better even than many big foreign firms. Not that I want to brag, but if Li Li keeps running things this way, in a few years that factory’s bound to become one of the top enterprises in the country."

After hearing Jiang Hongfa, Old Master Xi nodded repeatedly, "There’s a bright future ahead! I bet that integrated eco-circular park Li Li is building will be just as impressive."

"Should we go take a look some other day?"
