Looking at the money on the table, Han Juan's mind went blank.

Is this money for her?

To be honest, I have only seen this much money a few times in my life.

This is no ordinary case of being content with a small fortune.

It's almost at the level of a small wealthy man.

"Xiao Zhou, what are you doing? It's not easy to make money. How can we take your money?" Lin Dong hurried forward and pushed the money back to Zhou Qi, saying, "It's enough that you have this intention. Take it back!"

"What are you collecting?"

Han Juan reacted, snatched the money, and instantly changed her attitude towards Zhou Qi. A long-lost smile appeared on her face: "Xiao Zhou, you are such a sensible child. Okay, then I won't be polite!"

Lin Yifeng watched from the side and shook his head. He had hoped that they would accept it, but this scene was really a bit weird.

Lin Dong's face sank. He felt as if his face was burning. It was too embarrassing. He slammed the table and shouted, "Give it to me and give it back to Xiao Zhou..."

"What are you returning? Didn't you just say that the child is so filial... All we old people can do is accept it. Otherwise, we would be letting the child down!" Han Juan said cheerfully.

She is really happy now.

Zhou Qi helped her pay off her debts before, but the money never passed through her hands, so the feeling was not that strong.

But now, the money is actually in my hands.

It feels so good to hold tens of thousands of dollars in your hand!

Lin Dong wanted to say something, but Zhou Qi quickly waved his hand and said, "Uncle, listen to me, I want to marry Ruixue, and this is the betrothal gift. I want to marry Ruixue in a grand ceremony, and I want to add an extra 50,000. What do you think?" he asked tentatively.

"That's already a lot," said Lin Dong.

Zhou Qi smiled and replied: "Well, since you are satisfied, let Auntie take the money!"

In the end, the money finally fell safely into Han Juan's hands.

As soon as he entered the door, the insignificant little character Han Juan mentioned suddenly became Xiao Zhou in her mouth.

Zhou Qi fought this battle brilliantly.

Before long, the aroma of food filled the air.

Zhou Qi originally planned to have a few drinks with Lin Dong, but was politely declined.

why?

It turns out that Lin Dong has to be on duty at night.

"Dad, where do you work? How come I don't even know it?" Lin Ruixue asked curiously.

Lin Dong used to be the security guard of Shiling Village Primary School.

Later, the school closed down, he became unemployed and became a real farmer.

So, when she suddenly heard that her father was back to work, Lin Ruixue was extremely surprised.

"I just started last week. Old Zhang at the village head introduced me to it. I'm just guarding an empty foundry. The pay is 100 yuan a month. If I work the night shift, I can get an extra 50 yuan, a total of 150 yuan." Lin Dong explained.

"Dad, can we not go? I'm a formal employee of the cotton mill now, my salary has increased a bit, and Junfeng has also started working. We can fully support you and mom." Lin Ruixue said with concern.

"Look at you, it's such a good job, why don't you do it? You'll just go there to take a nap, it doesn't matter where you sleep? Wake up and take a stroll, quite leisurely. There are people who want to go but can't." Lin Dong said with a smile.

That being said.

But spending money just to let people go to sleep?

I can sleep, but how can I sleep soundly?

"Uncle, what did that factory do before? Why did it become idle?" Zhou Qi asked curiously.

“Actually, I haven’t done anything serious before.” Lin Dong replied.

The foundry was recruited through investment promotion. A Hong Kong businessman was found. When choosing the location, they specifically picked the junction of Shiling Village and the town. They said it was for environmental protection reasons. It was also not far from the steel plant and would facilitate transportation.

Looking back now, my main intention was to invest less so that I could make more money.

When the factory was built, the county provided a loan, and the Hong Kong businessman also paid part of the money out of his own pocket.

Once the factory building was built, the county felt relieved and approved another large loan for machinery and equipment.

The loan hasn't arrived yet, but they already brought some scrap metal, saying it was equipment parts, delaying the process bit by bit.

As a result, as soon as the money was received, the Hong Kong businessman ran away with the money. The scrap metal is still piled there and the factory is abandoned.

"When did this happen?" Zhou Qi asked.

"It happened last year. I was able to take this job because the last person had an emergency at home and couldn't do it." Lin Dong glanced at the time, ate a few mouthfuls of rice and said, "I have to hurry. It will take another half an hour to walk there. He can't leave until I get there. Today is a holiday, I can't delay his return home for the reunion."

Zhou Qi quickly stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll take you there."

"No, no, I can go by myself."

Before Lin Dong had time to refuse, Zhou Qi had already stepped out of the door and pushed the motorcycle out of the yard.

Heading towards the foundry along the way.

"Uncle, so much time has passed, and the liar hasn't been caught yet?" Zhou Qi asked.

"What are we catching? We don't know where they have gone. How can we catch them?" Lin Dong shook his head. "The best the county can do now is to take back the factory building, but what can we do with it after we take it back?"

"It can be rented out." Zhou Qi suggested.

"Rent out? Rent to whom? Who would rent such a big factory?" Lin Dong felt that Zhou Qi's idea was not very reliable.

For this,

Zhou Qi just smiled and didn't discuss further.

He was worried that he couldn't find a suitable place to make canned food. Although the sawmill was not small, canning required storing a large amount of fruit.

He also wanted to take over the entire fruit business in the town, combining fruits with canned goods to create a complete industrial chain. The sawmill alone was far from enough.

When Zhou Qi heard that there was a ready-made factory, he naturally became very interested.

Following the route Lin Dong pointed out, Zhou Qi rode his motorcycle to his destination.

From a distance, you can see a tall and spacious steel structure factory building standing on a large open land, among the fields.

The exterior wall is brand new and tall, and on the marble slab above the door lintel, "Chaohui Foundry" is engraved in large golden letters.

The Hong Kong businessman really spent a lot of money to attract funds. Apart from anything else, the grandeur of this yard alone was several levels higher than that of the sawmill. Zhou Qi fell in love with it at first sight.

Lin Dong's night shift was in a small room near the door.

As soon as he got off the car, he went in and handed over his shift to someone else.

Zhou Qi rode his motorcycle around the yard.

The cement road was smooth and clean, unlike the sandy road in the lumber mill that could never be swept clean.

The factory doors are two large iron doors, locked with chains as thick as a thumb. Looking inside through the crack in the door, two words come to mind - bright!

There are two rows of small houses next to it, which I didn’t notice from outside before.

It might be a warehouse or something. Looking inside, I saw several sacks piled there. They looked like leftover cement, and there was quite a lot of space inside.

really not bad!

The only regret is that there is no two-story building for office use like the sawmill.
