Although the purpose of doing a factory is to get rich, Chen Xiang understands that he can't become a fat man by eating in one bite. Therefore, when he was nervous about money, he was not in a hurry, and he set himself the goal of being able to pay the wages of the workers within five years, and to have enough funds to buy materials and enough for the factory to operate.

Now, with the payment from the fat man, Chen Xiang suddenly felt that the workers' wages had been settled, and his heart was much more relaxed. When I woke up in the morning and saw that Wang Yan hadn't woken up yet, I helped her and the child fold the quilt, dressed herself and got up to pick up some wood in the yard waste pool, brush the pot to wash rice, cook rice and boil water.

Since his father went back, almost every morning breakfast is made by Chen Xiang, breakfast is also simple, is to boil some rice porridge, steam some ready-made steamed buns, workers are willing to eat canteen on pickles to eat steamed buns and drink porridge soup, if the food is not good, they go out by themselves, in the factory gate of Hangzhou small bag to buy their own food. Sometimes, Chen Xiang was busy with breakfast, cooked a pot of porridge, steamed a large drawer of steamed buns, and no one ate them, Wang Yan complained and asked him not to get up early to make dinner, anyway, almost no one eats. Chen Xiang said: "Whether you eat or not is someone else's business, you have to do it." People want to eat it, but you don't, that's not good. If you are afraid of waste, you can do less. Eat tightly with them, they don't eat, let's eat. ”

In addition to getting up early to cook in the morning, it is also necessary to boil a large pot of water, so that workers can have water to drink when they go to work. Every time Chen Xiang boiled water, he used a wire brush to thoroughly grind the bottom of the pot, and sometimes, the water alkali could not come down, so he poured some vinegar into the pot and brushed it again, until the water alkali could not be seen, and then poured water into the pot. Chen Xiang worked meticulously, every time the water was not boiled, the workers had already gone to work, and Wang Yan also got up.

Wang Yan said: "You got up early in the morning, why hasn't the water boiled yet?" ”

Chen Xiang said: "If you boil water every afternoon, you don't brush the pot, it's all alkali, and if you don't brush it clean, drinking it in your stomach is not good for your health." It takes me a long time just to brush the pot. "Chen Xiang is such a characteristic, if you don't do anything, you are very particular about what you want to do. At this point, Wang Yan sometimes thinks he is too particular, and sometimes admires him for being serious.

When it comes to working attitudes, Chen Xiang and Wang Yan have a significant difference, Chen Xiang pays more attention to quality, and Wang Yan pays more attention to speed. Chen Xiang handles the list, customers are often very satisfied, Chen Xiang often said: "It's okay to slow down a little, you can communicate with customers, if the quality is not good, you can't explain to customers." "Wang Yan's characteristic is that as long as he thinks of it, whether it is feasible or not, he will do it first. Therefore, Wang Yan often gets things done first and then reworks. Chen Xiang pondered slowly and carefully, and considered all aspects before starting.

Seeing Wang Yan coming to him, Chen Xiang said, "You keep an eye on the pot, wait for the water to boil and pour it quickly." I'll go to the workshop and meet with them, see what work is going on today, and arrange it for them. The factory is not big, and Chen Xiang originally promoted the workshop director three times from among the workers, but they were all overwhelmed, and the three of them left one after another. Chen Xiang asked Tian Xiaobing to manage the workshop, he took the lead in being lazy and didn't commute on time, and the third brother and Yaoyao didn't obey him, so he quit. Chen Xiang couldn't do anything, the big and small things in the workshop had to be worried about by himself.

Chen Xiang thinks that 'sharpening knives do not mistake woodcutters', and every morning, he will gather everyone at the door of the workshop, first ask everyone what work they have, and then make an explanation according to the situation of the order. That way, basically at the end of the day, everyone knows what they're doing.

"Lao Zhu, what kind of work do you have in hand today. Chen Xiang asked from left to right according to his custom. ”

"Today, I want to polish the door panel of the customer's house in Xibakou, spray the primer, dry it, and then make up for it." Lao Zhu said.

"Well, when sanding, all exposed surfaces, including the sides, should be sanded and smoothed, and there should be no obvious grains." Chen Xiang explained. As he spoke, his phone rang. Chen Xiang's mobile phone almost every day from morning to night, there are intermittent calls, and almost all the content of the calls is related to the factory. Sometimes, it's an order inquiry, sometimes it's a friend's introduction, and some are an old customer. Chen Xiang saw that it was Ding Yi calling, so he picked up the phone. As mentioned earlier, Ding Yi originally rented this factory.

"Chen Xiang, I have a bit of office work, in Nanjing. Can you do that? “

"Yes, Brother Ding." Chen Xiang happily replied, he didn't expect that this Ding Yi could still think of introducing himself to work, this Ding Yi is doing decoration, and it is normal to have engineering work, since he introduced it to himself, he should want to earn something.

"You send the email to my mobile phone, I will send you the drawings, you quote a price first." Ding Yi spoke straight to the topic.

"Okay, Brother Ding. I'll have a morning meeting, and I'll send it to you in a moment. ”

"Well, okay, you get busy first. Good bye. ”

"Goodbye, Brother Ding." As soon as Chen Xiang's voice fell, he had already hung up over there.

"Xiao Li, what work do you have in hand today?" Chen Xiang turned to Xiao Li and asked.

"The cabinet door panel of the Xibahe customer's house is not done, and the wardrobe door panel made yesterday, I made the cabinet door panel today." Xiao Li replied.

"Hmm." Chen Xiang glanced at Ah Liang, and was just about to ask, when he suddenly heard a violent "knock knock", and someone outside the gate shouted, "Open the door, open the door quickly!" ”

Only when the cadres in the village came, Chen Xiang was afraid that the village would find trouble, so he said to them, don't work first, clean up the workshop, and wait for them to leave before working. With that, Chen Xiang slowly walked towards the door. Wang Yan heard the shouting and had already opened the door.

"You discharged all this sewage! I warned you last time, and you continue to line up. A sturdy-looking man with powerful eyes said.

"This is our Director Han, your person in charge!" A person next to him asked Wang Yan.

"Oh, hello Director Han. Our boss Ding is on a business trip, Xiao Chen is in charge, and he is here. Wang Yan quickly squeezed out a smile, pretending to be calm, and said hello, but her heart was like thunder and drums, I don't know why she was most afraid of seeing these people, and she was most annoyed to see these people, every time she saw them, she was afraid that they would have nothing to do and find fault.

This time, there were four people in the village, and the other three were common, and every time they collected water and sanitation fees, they all came together, and only the leader Wang Yan saw it for the first time.

"You are the person in charge, tell Ding Yi and let him clean the sewage in the ditch, or we will call the environmental protection." Director Han had a scar on his brow, and when he spoke, he pulled the scar on his brow, and a gloomy light appeared in his small eyes, looking fierce and vicious.

"We didn't discharge that sewage, but the factory behind it every day." Chen Xiang tried to pretend to be calm and explained. In fact, this is the factory area, and the ditch next to the factory was originally used for drainage, but these people suddenly took this to find trouble, Chen Xiang knew that at this time, it must not be said that this was originally used to discharge sewage, which would be equivalent to admitting that the sewage of his factory was discharged here.

"You still deny that the factory behind them has not started work for the past few days, and they have stopped their water and electricity, and they have called the Environmental Protection Bureau to clean up the sewage and restore water and electricity when they will restore it!" Director Wang ordered fiercely.

After listening to the words, the two middle-aged men who were slightly older and were in charge of water and electricity took their tools and walked to the workshop. As soon as Chen Xiang saw this posture, he knew that people came prepared, and he said about sewage some time ago, which was obviously deliberately looking for fault, and he was angry in his heart, and he really didn't hate to rush up and slap that Director Han, but now Chen Xiang is not Chen Xiang before the factory opened, he knows that everything has to be endured first, and now he is not only responsible for a family, but also a factory, and he does not dare to have a casual seizure. swallowed a saliva, endured the anger and sulkness into his stomach, and forcibly kept his demeanor in a normal state and said: "Don't, the water and electricity are off, I can't work, go back and let Boss Ding go to the village to find you." We can't do the work, we can't explain it to the boss. ”

Director Han pretended not to hear it, and ignored Chen Xiang. The chubby short man standing next to him used the tone of Wei Zuofu and said, "I cut off the water and electricity first, it has nothing to do with you." You boss Ding is a good guy, you don't show up all year round, you don't call, the shelf is big, go back and let him go to the village to find our village director. Chen Xiang heard a bit of homophony, it turned out that these people were suspicious of Ding Yi for not giving gifts. In fact, Chen Xiang knew that Ding Yi did not give less gifts during the New Year's holidays, and he had seen it a few times.

"Stopped." The two people walked up to Director Han one after the other and said.

"Smoke a cigarette." I don't know when, Wang Yan took out a bag of opened cigarettes from the office and handed it to Director Han to kiss him. Chen Xiang himself doesn't know how to smoke, and the factory didn't prepare cigarettes originally, but people often come to the village to find trouble, so Wang Yan listened to Ding Yi, bought cigarettes and prepared them, and when people came to the village, regardless of the official or official, they all respected the root cigarettes.

"Let's go!" Director Han ignored Chen Xiang and Wang Yan, gave an order, and took the lead to walk outside. That spirit is like the boss of the Black Society.

"There are so many things in this village, three days and two ends are not this thing or that, I can't give birth with peace of mind, I don't think I can stay long." Seeing them walk away, Wang Yan muttered softly in front of Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang was worried in his heart, now that the water and electricity were cut off, he couldn't start work. He could only call Ding Yi because the factory was rented from Ding Yi. At that time, when renting, Ding Yi patted his chest and said that this place can be produced, and if you want an environmental impact assessment, you can just invite the village cadres to have a meal. But when Chen Xiang got the lease, he really urged him to go to the village to stamp the EIA, but he couldn't do it.

"Don't talk about this yet, I'll give Ding Yi a call. Look at the children to go. Chen Xiang frowned and said. He knew that calling Ding Yi might not necessarily solve the problem, but he could only call him. Because, the house in the village is rented to Ding Yi, and people only recognize Ding Yi as speaking.

"Brother Ding, it's me, just now Director Han in the village brought someone to stop the water and electricity." As soon as Chen Xiang dialed Ding Yi's mobile phone, he said anxiously.

"Why?" Ding Yi asked.

"We won't be allowed to drain the water into the ditch on the side of the road." Chen Xiang replied.

"Isn't that nonsense? If you don't go to the ditch, you go somewhere. Isn't all the sewage from the factory drained into the pipes? Ding Yi's tone was a little angry, "You just said the new Director Han?" ”

"Hmm. They said his name was Director Han. ”

"I see. That guy is new, I asked Director Wang last time, this person can't figure out his temperament, he is not short of money, and it is not easy to deal with. I'll call the village and see how it can be resolved. Ding Yi said.

"Okay, Brother Ding, that's bothering you."

"You'll send me your email address in a moment. I sent the drawings over. ”

"Oh, I'll send it."

"Okay, hang up."

"Hmm." Chen Xiang pressed the end button, his hand still holding his phone, as if he hadn't finished speaking, still worried about something. Yes, he doesn't know if this Ding Yi can solve the matter, and when it will be resolved.

Within twenty minutes of hanging up the phone, Ding Yi called Chen Xiang back. Ding Yi said directly to Chen Xiang on the phone: "You, you have no choice but to buy two pieces of Chinese to send to the one surnamed Han." I inquired, he is newly appointed, this village, the party secretary himself uses the village to set up a factory, and the family has money. He doesn't care about other idle things, and the power is handed over to this surnamed Han. The director surnamed Han is in charge, he is not targeting you now, he is looking for trouble in all factories, and he wants to establish prestige in this matter. ”

Ding Yi's call was made, which means that he didn't call, but it was a call again. Chen Xiang understood that this was for him to give a gift. Usually for the Mid-Autumn Festival or something, Ding Yi sometimes brings something over by himself and sends it to those village cadres, and Chen Xiang himself has to send a copy. This time, people are not only looking for a Lilly, but also want to prove that he is the boss in front of other village cadres.

Chen Xiang asked Wang Yan to buy two Chinese pieces. The two of them didn't do anything, put Chinese cigarettes in backpacks, drove to the village committee, and inquired about the communication room, the surname Han was working on the second floor, and as soon as the two went upstairs, they knocked on the door like thieves.

"Come in!" The voice that came from inside seemed suddenly powerful.

The two gently pushed the door in, Wang Yan walked in front, Director Han was sitting at the desk, and he didn't know what he was busy with, and there was only a tray of green plants on a large solid wood desk.

Behind the desk is a long bookcase with various documents and files. Next to the bookcase is a large flower plate with a four-season green plant called 'money strings'.

"Director Han also likes to raise flowers." Wang Yan smiled and deliberately had nothing to say.

"Well, who are you and what are you?" Director Han's tone was much better than when he was in the factory, but he pretended not to know the two of them.

"We are from the factory of Boss Ding at the head of the village, Boss Ding asked us to come over to say hello to you, he is on a business trip in Nanjing, and next time he comes back, he will visit you in person." As she spoke, Wang Yan hurriedly took out the two pre-prepared Chinese cigarettes from her bag and put them on Director Han's desk.

"Don't, don't, don't, take it back_" Director Han pushed.

Wang Yan understands that this is for fear of being seen by others. With his left hand, he opened the door under his desk and put his cigarette in with his right hand. said: "Boss Ding said that he always bothered you, and he was embarrassed, and he had to help take care of it in the future." The work in the factory is waiting to be done, and we will drain the water to the toilet later, and you can see when we can get the plumber to help connect the water and electricity.

"Yes, I will ask Director Han to help me in the future." Chen Xiang followed. He knew that it was better for Wang Yan to send this cigarette than to send it himself, and it seemed to be less. Wang Yan sent it, it's easy to say.

"Well, it's too late today. Let them pass tomorrow. Director Han said kindly.

"Then thank you, Director Han, you are busy first, let's go." Wang Yan said.

"Well, you're busy first, Director Han." Chen Xiang also said hello.

"Okay, okay, don't send it." Director Han stood up, and his tone sounded much kinder.

Both of them breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts, and after going out, they closed the door casually, and walked to the staircase with a relaxed step. Chen Xiang felt that the village officials with such a big sesame seed were so good, and he really felt that if he wanted to be able to engage in production in this village with peace of mind, not make more money, and not give some gifts to these village officials during the New Year's holidays, he would really be squeezed out sooner or later.

The next morning, the electrician and the plumber in the village really came over to connect the water and electricity, and Chen Xiang asked Wang Yan to hand them a Zhongnanhai. This time he was more cautious and did not dare to offend anyone.

The water and electricity are finally connected, and I can focus on production and receiving orders. Chen Xiang felt a sense of relief, even though he knew that this relief was temporary. What about Wang Yan? But she was still worried, it was not this or that in the factory, fortunately with Chen Xiang in the way, she found that Chen Xiang's shoulders were becoming more and more able to carry weight, and she really wanted to get rid of this life.
