After the dinner, Zhong Xiaoqin was left behind by three best friends. Gu Jia had been busy entertaining the guests at the dinner just now, and they had not communicated well at all. It was only after nine o'clock. For modern people, nightlife has just begun at this time. .
The few of them met to have dinner and sing karaoke together, to reminisce about high school life and talk about the current situation.
They were all classmates in the same high school, and others were naturally excluded. Not to mention Wang Manni, even Li Jie and Xu Huanshan were not invited.
Li Jie called a driver and took them to a barbecue restaurant with Chen Xu before going home.
At half past eleven at night, Zhong Xiaoqin returned home with a bright smile on her face. It was a rare time to get together with her best friends. She seemed very excited. It was already past twelve o'clock after washing up, but she was still not sleepy and had not recovered from the excitement. Come, lie on the bed and chatter non-stop.
The more she talked, the more she became more and more awake. She was still extremely awake until two o'clock in the morning. In the end, there was nothing she could do. A battle exhausted all her strength, and she fell asleep.
The next day, as expected, Zhong Xiaoqin was late. When she got up, she complained to Li Jie why he didn't wake her up.
Li Jie first deliberately teased her, and then told her that he had asked for half a day's sick leave for her.
Recently, Zhong Xiaoqin has performed well, and the company leaders readily approved the leave.
After learning the truth, Zhong Xiaoqin collapsed on the bed like a noodle, continued to cover her head and fell asleep again.
On the other side, Gu Jia got up early. The three best friends who came all the way yesterday were leaving today. As the host, she had to give them a gift.
Coincidentally, Gu Jia is also planning to go to Hunan Province today. After all the busy work, it is time to go to the tea factory.
This tea factory is located in the mountainous area of Hunan Province. Although Gu Jia has never been there, she has collected a lot of local information online.
The layers of terraced tea gardens are hidden among the mountains, surrounded by green trees and sea of clouds. The nearby Yunshan Village is an authentic ancient village.
There are deep alleys and quaint houses. During the Qingming Festival, you can stroll along the ancient bluestone lanes and look at the narrow and mottled courtyard walls covered with years of vicissitudes. Moss can be seen everywhere under your feet, and the air is filled with fresh tea. fragrant.
Simple villagers, ancient houses, and beautiful scenery. After checking the information, Gu Jia felt that this place was like a paradise. Even if it didn't make tea, it would be great just to take people on a trip.
In the afternoon, Gu Jia arrived at Xiangxi Airport. After several twists and turns, she finally arrived at Yunshan Village, where the tea factory is located, at sunset.
Under the setting sun, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the mountains and fields into a golden color. In the quiet village, the smoke slowly rises. Walking on the quaint bluestone path, a group of laughing and playing children burst into laughter.
This situation made Gu Jia feel emotional.
It is indeed the property of Mrs. Li’s family. She has such a good sense and the place she chose is so beautiful!
Before coming, Gu Jia had already thought about the promotion strategy of the tea garden, focusing on ecology. Every year, she would hold regular dealer conferences and invite dealers from all over the country to travel here.
On the one hand, it brings them closer to each other, and on the other hand, it also allows them to experience the beautiful scenery here.
Gu Jiali did not notify the person in charge of the tea factory in advance before arriving. Yunshan Village is a typical traditional village. Because it is located in a deep mountain and has inconvenient transportation, there is very little movement of people here.
This can be seen in the eyes of the villagers. They looked at Gu Jia with obvious scrutiny.
Under the guidance of the villagers, Gu Jia came to the village chief's house. The village chief of Yunshan Village was also the person in charge of the tea factory.
The village chief's surname was Yang, an old man in his fifties with dark skin and ravine-like wrinkles on his face. When he learned that Gu Jia had come to take over the tea factory, he was overjoyed and received Gu Jia very warmly. Instruct his wife to quickly kill chickens and fish to entertain the distinguished guests.
Afterwards, Village Chief Yang eagerly brewed a cup of this year's new tea and began to greet Gu Jia with a little too much enthusiasm.
The reason why he is so enthusiastic is that most of the villagers' livelihoods depend on the tea factory. Yunshan Village is located in a remote area. The villagers either go out to work or farm, and there are very few sources of income.
Now that the tea factory has a new owner, who knows what the new owner’s temper is like and whether he will change his sales strategy? Will there be reduction in manpower? Will wages be lowered? Will production be reduced?
He didn't know any of this. For the rich, this tea factory might be just a very ordinary business, but for the villagers in their village, it was an indispensable livelihood.
The village chief's excessive enthusiasm made Gu Jia a little uncomfortable, but she didn't have too much doubt. After all, she was the new boss, and it was normal for her subordinates to be enthusiastic.
Now that he has arrived at his destination, Gu Jia is not in a hurry to ask about the operating conditions of the tea factory. The documents will not be lost there anyway, and there is still time to look at them tomorrow.
During the conversation, Gu Jia asked more about the situation in the village. In her opinion, this village should have a very long history. It would be a pity if it was not utilized.
In ancient villages, there are tea gardens with a long history. The simple villagers always adhere to the tradition and insist on using ancient methods to make tea.
Look, isn’t this a very good selling point!
Since he asked for something, Village Chief Yang naturally told him everything he knew. He told all the situations in the village and at the same time added some information without leaving any trace.
The villagers have been making tea for generations, and this tea factory is their livelihood. There are too many left-behind children in the village, and most of them live in poverty.
All in all, these words come easily.
As the conversation progressed, Gu Jia was unknowingly affected. The current situation in the village made her feel that her burden was heavier. What she took over was not only a tea factory, but also the hope of the villagers.
At ten o'clock in the evening, for city dwellers, nightlife has just begun. However, for Yunshan Village deep in the mountains, this point is already very late.
Gu Jia saw the sleepy village chief on his face and took the initiative to end the conversation, patting his chest and promising before leaving.
"Village Chief, don't worry, I will definitely manage it with my heart!"
"Hey! I believe it! I believe it!"
Village Chief Yang smiled brightly when he heard this, and the wrinkles on his face were piled together.
"Daughter, you are probably tired after a long day's journey. Go and have a rest. The bed has been made, and the quilts, sheets, and toiletries are all new."
The cleaned room was located on the second floor. After washing, Gu Jia walked to the wooden corridor and looked up. The sky was filled with stars, and a gorgeous Milky Way hung in the dark night sky. It was simply beautiful.
"What a beauty!"
Gu Jia looked at the stars in the night sky and murmured to himself.
