"After I return, Li Dabiao will be the captain of the guard, Li Zhengnan will be the deputy captain, and Li Shaoyang will be the factory director. Production can be started first, with about a hundred miners a day. Safety must be ensured, and there is no need to rush for success. After mining, the miners will be placed in the storage yard and will not need to be shipped out. I will come here every few months to arrange transportation. Does anyone have anything else to do?"

Li Zhengnan said first: "I will go back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month at the latest. Wang Yong has something to do and there are not many people there."

"No problem. I have arranged to recruit people from China. There are dozens of them. You can just help with the training and then go back."

Li Shaoyang also said: "I am not cut out to be a factory manager. You have to choose someone else."

"I understand. I'll let you go back after the New Year."

Liu Xia Lian certainly couldn't go back empty-handed this time, as there were thousands of stones on the ore dump. Liu Xia Lian arranged for Daya and Erya to work together to select the finest and top-quality jadeite, a total of fifteen pieces.

Of the remaining pile, there are certainly quite a few green ones, but there are almost no fine or top-quality ones. They are all ordinary goods. With one cut, they may go down the drain, or they may increase three or five times, or remain the same, but it is almost impossible to get rich overnight. The stones shipped to the gambling stone field for sale are all carefully selected by experts. Occasionally, an imperial green is exposed, and the buyer may be a shill. You can imagine how unreliable it is to make a fortune by gambling on stones. The probability of getting good goods is too low. These dozen pieces are worth about five million yuan. At present, there are channels for sales, mainly the second sister of Shimenzhuang, who is given priority. Then there are big jewelers in Beijing and Pengcheng. As long as the price is not too expensive, sales are not a problem at all.

Erya didn't know much about stones, so she said as she moved them, "Sister, are you going to use these stones to build a barn? They are so uneven."

"I want to carve these stones into a beautiful pendant that will look great hanging around my neck."

"Is it the one my sister gave me last time? It's very beautiful?"

"Yeah, I gave you a pair last time. Where did you put them?"

"I took it to move wood and broke one of them. I hid the remaining one under my pillow. Sister, please don't give it to me. I feel I am not careful enough and it will break easily. And bad people always say that my one is not good and I need to exchange it for a better one."

After all, Liu Xia Lian doesn't take care of Erya every day. When Erya has nothing to do at home, she will go out to play by herself. She has some change on her, and some unscrupulous vendors may target her.

"Okay, I'll give you one to wear around your neck later. It will keep you safe."

There were five people when they went there, but only four when they came back. The four of them flew directly from Yunnan Province to Beijing, and then took a train from Beijing to the provincial capital. Not to mention the fatigue of the journey, it took them three days to arrive at the kimchi factory.

Daya and Erya also have dormitories in the factory, and they go to sleep when they arrive at the factory.

Only Liu Xia Lian's method of refining Qi was still fully developed. Her whole body was full of energy and spirit, but she could circulate and regulate her breathing while moving, so she didn't feel tired even after more than three days on the road.

As soon as Liu Xia Lian sat down, her assistant Xiao Ma made her a cup of fragrant tea. Just as she was about to drink it, she suddenly remembered that it was not suitable for pregnant women to drink tea, so she decided to drink boiled water instead.

While pouring the water, Xiao Ma came over and said, "Director, Sister Xue from Lijiatun came to see you again, but she won't tell you anything when you ask her."

"Okay, where is she? I'll go find her."

"He's at the factory gate and refuses to come in. I've asked him several times in the past few days."

When Liu Xia Lian came out, she saw that Sister Xue's legs and feet were back to normal. She was walking back and forth on the snow under the green tree. She seemed much more haggard.

"Sister Xia Lian, are you all back safely?"

Liu Xia Lian looked around and realized that they were too close to the door, so she pulled Sister Xue to the side.

"Everything is fine. Don't meet for a year or two. It's a big deal."

"What's going on? Is it so serious? Weren't they tricked into working for nothing?"

"This is the end of the matter. Don't ask me anymore. I won't tell you. Anyway, everyone is safe. Here is the letter. Take a look."

Liu Xia Lian took out a small unsigned piece of paper from her pocket. The words on it looked like dog scribbles. After reading it, Sister Xue felt as if she was filled with strength and became energetic instantly.

Nowadays, most women are still very dependent on men, especially in rural areas. Without a man at home, it feels like the sky is falling.

After Sister Xue finished reading the note, Liu Xia Lian burned it with a lighter.

"Just pretend you know nothing. Come to my factory tomorrow to find me. After a year or two, I will transfer you to Pengcheng. If there are no problems then you can meet again."

"Okay, okay, I'll come tomorrow. What kind of work will I be doing? Do I need to bring any tools?"

"There are so many jobs, it depends on what you like. You can grow vegetables in greenhouses in the village, pick vegetables and provide supplies for the factory. Another option is to come to the factory to make kimchi, you can still make 70 or 80 yuan a month."

Mrs. Xue thought for a moment and said, "I am a woman with a baby. It is inevitable that people in the village will gossip about me. There are too many things to do. Let's rent out the land to others to farm. I can work in the factory and have a quiet life. Next year, I will let my child go to the forest farm primary school so that I can take care of him."

"That's no problem. The dormitory in the factory is not suitable for you to live in. You can rent a small courtyard outside. It costs five or ten yuan a month. The factory pays wages on time, so you don't have to worry about not being able to afford it."

"Okay, no problem, I'll come to work tomorrow."

How did Li Dabiao, a big and strong man, find a beautiful wife?

Just as Sister Xue left happily, Zhao Hua came. He was very happy to see Liu Xialian and asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong with your health? How is the matter going?"

"I feel fine. I don't feel anything wrong. I just feel hungry all the time. Maybe the baby is starting to grow."

"Okay, you pay more attention. Mom said she wants to come to the factory and cook for you every day. Do you think it's necessary?"

Liu Xia Lian waved her hands repeatedly: "No need, my body is not that delicate. I just got pregnant. If I let my mother-in-law come to take care of me, how will people in the factory look at me? What's more, you can't eat too well during pregnancy, otherwise it will be easy to have a difficult delivery."

"Uh, well, my mother was just kind-hearted and didn't think too much about it."

"Let's go back to the office and talk. I just need to tell you something."

Zhao Hua was very busy and seldom came to Liu Xia Lian's office, but the extremely simple style still surprised him.

"Well, Xia Lian, we are not short of money. With such a big kimchi factory, shouldn't you renovate the office?"

Liu Xia Lian looked up and took a look at the office. It was indeed very simple. The room was over 40 square meters and had only a large desk, two bookshelves at the back, a long sofa in the front, two single sofas, and a coffee table. The only eye-catching things were two pots of Clivia and two pots of Chlorophytum.
