Chapter 95 Safe Journey
Chapter 95 Safe Journey
Everyone chatted while eating breakfast.
A moment later, someone pushed open the door and handed something to Secretary Duan.
After finishing their meal, everyone prepared to leave.
Secretary Duan grabbed Zhao Yuan and said sincerely:
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, thank you so much this time. At the same time, I would like to express my deepest apologies to you again for the fright you suffered. Here is some compensation, which is insignificant compared to your contributions to our factory, but this is the amount I can currently approve. As for the rest, we need to report to the higher authorities before we can determine it. We feel deeply ashamed of the oversight in the security work at the guesthouse, and the fright and inconvenience it has caused you."
After saying that, Secretary Duan Hai handed a slip of paper to Zhao Yuan.
He explained, “Considering the long distance, we have already transferred the funds directly to your local bank. Once you get home, you just need to take this slip to the bank to collect it.”
Zhao Yuan replied politely:
"Thank you, Secretary Duan."
He then took the note and casually stuffed it into his crossbody bag.
At this moment, Secretary Duan Hai glanced at his watch, then turned to Wu Ping and said:
"Director Wu, it's almost time. You can take Comrade Zhaoyuan to the airport."
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, thank you again and wish you a safe journey."
Secretary Duan Hai shook hands with Zhao Yuan again to say goodbye.
Have a safe journey.
Lei Jianjun also shook hands with Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan picked up his luggage and followed Wu Ping into the jeep.
Zhao Yuan waved goodbye to everyone, and the car headed towards the airport.
The plane arrived at Huzhou Airport at 3:00 PM after a connecting flight.
As Zhao Yuan exited the airport, he saw Mr. Tian, who had picked him up last time, waving to him at the exit.
"Comrade Zhaoyuan, over here."
"Hello, Master Tian, it's too much trouble for you to make this trip again."
Zhao Yuan said with a smile, and then followed Master Tian toward the jeep parked in the front yard.
Once inside the jeep, Master Tian stepped on the gas, and the vehicle headed towards Jinyang County.
Jinyang County Tengfei Fireworks Export Company.
The office phone rang. Zheng Ziqi picked it up, and the voice on the other end was in English. Zheng Ziqi had attended high school and knew a little bit of English.
Wilson called, and the two struggled on the phone for a while before a translator finally came to clarify things. Wilson was looking for Zhaoyuan, but Zheng Ziqi told him that Zhaoyuan was away on a business trip and couldn't be reached. He said Zhaoyuan would call back as soon as he returned. Wilson told Zheng Ziqi that they would come to Jinyang County on the 5th of next month.
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ziqi looked worried. It hadn't even been 10 days since the 5th of next month, and he still didn't know when Zhao Yuan would return.
At Zhaoshi Food Factory in Jinyang County, Zhou Jiefang and Jiang Haibo had arranged everything in an orderly manner, with the finance office, offices, packaging room, and cleaning area all properly set up.
After more than an hour of bumpy travel, Zhao Yuan finally arrived in Jinyang County before dinner.
Zhao Yuan didn't waste any time and went straight to the food factory. As soon as he arrived at the factory gate, Zhou Jiefang spotted Zhao Yuan and a look of surprise crossed his face:
"Brother Zhao, why are you back so soon!"
Zhao Yuan nodded slightly and replied calmly:
"Yes, some unexpected situations have arisen again, and the trip has been forced to be delayed."
He did not explain the specifics in detail, but only gave a brief account.
Zhao Yuan looked around, carefully observing the current state of the food factory. At this point, the entire food factory had taken shape, with all facilities basically complete. It only needed to wait for the employees to arrive before it could officially start production.
Zhao Yuan expressed satisfaction with the current progress, and then said:
"Yes, you guys did a great job. I'm going to the fireworks company now."
After saying that, he looked around again, but couldn't see Uncle Zhong or Aunt Zhong anywhere.
So he turned to Zhou Jiefang and asked, "Jiefang, where did Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong go?"
Zhou Jiefang quickly replied:
"They must have gone out for a walk. They've been going out for walks every morning and afternoon lately. And Aunt Zhong has been in a particularly good mood lately."
Zhao Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then walked straight toward Tengfei Fireworks Export Company.
"Brother Zhao, you're finally back!"
Yang Fushan was the first to spot Zhao Yuan and shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing the voice, Zheng Ziqi and Lu Tiejun also came out of their offices and greeted Zhao Yuan warmly.
"Brother Zhao, it's great to see you back. Wilson called this afternoon, could you call him back?"
Zheng Ziqi said.
Zhao Yuan glanced at his watch, walked to the phone booth, and dialed Wilson's number.
The call was quickly connected. Wilson was delighted to hear Zhao Yuan's voice; at least the communication was going smoothly. Wilson told Zhao Yuan that they would be bringing four people this time, arriving in Jinyang County on the 5th of next month.
Zhao Yuan hung up the phone.
After leaving the telephone booth, Zhao Yuan went directly to the product showroom.
All the outer packaging samples for each series have been printed and are neatly arranged in the sample display room, which looks very pleasing.
Zhao Yuan examined the packaging designs carefully and was very satisfied with them.
Then, he asked Zheng Ziqi, "Director Zheng, where are Professor Xiao and Zhao Xiaoqing doing their field research now?"
Zheng Ziqi replied:
"They are currently at my factory, wanting to learn about the entire fireworks production process from the masters."
Zhao Yuan then asked, "If I call your company, can I get in touch with them?"
Zheng Ziqi said, "They might come back tonight. Haven't they been living at your house all along?"
Zhao Yuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said:
"Okay, I need to go home first. If they haven't returned, remember to ask them to call me; I need to speak with them."
After saying that, Zhao Yuan left Tengfei Fireworks Export Company.
After leaving the company, Zhao Yuan first went to the commercial building, carefully selected and bought a Shanghai brand watch, intending to give it to Lin Fangfang as a gift.
Immediately afterwards, he returned to his own yard, started the tractor, and embarked on his journey back to Zhaojia Village.
Throughout the journey, Zhao Yuan was in a good mood; it felt so good to be home.
This trip can be described as a lucky escape from disaster.
In his previous life, Zhao Yuan was always busy and made a lot of money, but only he knew the hardships and loneliness he endured.
In this life, all he wants is to earn money so that his family can live a comfortable life. He hopes to spend more time with his family in this lifetime.
However, reality seemed to be heading in a direction far from Zhao Yuan's wishes, and he found himself unable to control many things. He decided to give up some things.
As his thoughts drifted away, Zhao Yuan soon arrived at Zhaojia Village.
Upon hearing the sound of the tractor, Lin Fangfang quickly grabbed Zhao Nana and stood at the door.
Her face was beaming with happiness, and her eyes were full of anticipation.
