"County Magistrate, I have arranged a new waiter for you. Her name is Song Qingshuang. She is delicate and quiet."

Li Yuanlang waved his hand and said: "Appearance doesn't matter, it's not like choosing a concubine, just passable. The key is good character and a clean life experience."

"I have inquired about Song Qingshuang's family in the countryside, and her parents are farmers. She has just come to the guest house not long ago, and has nothing to do with any parties. She is very innocent."

"Okay, let's go meet him later. If you're okay, we'll stay." Li Yuanlang stretched his waist and felt a little sleepy after Chang Ming said this.

Wang Zhongqiu had been sent home by him a long time ago. So he and Chang Ming left the office building one after another and walked to the guest house at the back.

On the way, Chang Ming and Li Yuanlang mentioned Yue Yao, the general manager of the hotel, while chatting.

He said that it was Yue Yao who told Li Benqing about Xiaojiao, and then the matter spread quickly.

Li Yuanlang asked in confusion: "There is still contact between Yue Yao and Li Benqing?"

The county guest house is an agency affiliated with the county party committee. It is understandable that Yue Yao immediately reported it to Zhu Ningshan. Why did she tell Li Benqing? Was it to call the police?

"I heard that Li Benqing was accompanying guests at the guest house, and we happened to meet him," Chang Ming said.

Li Yuanlang was quite critical of Yue Yao's actions.

If Yue Yao knew about it, she could go to Li Yuanlang to verify it instead of magnifying the matter and telling others.

But this other person was Li Benqing, who had been scolded by Li Yuanlang.

But he didn't want to pursue Yue Yao for anything. After all, the matter was over, so let it dissipate in the long river of time.

In the room, Chang Ming brought Song Qingshuang to Li Yuanlang.

The little girl is indeed pretty, especially her big eyes, which look clear and transparent, very pure and free of impurities.

She spoke softly and looked at Li Yuanlang sometimes raising his head and sometimes lowering his head, with a blush on his cheeks. At first glance, he looked like a girl from a good family who had never seen anything in the world.

Li Yuanlang maintained a friendly smile throughout the whole process and asked about Song Qingshuang's family and personal situation.

I learned that she has just turned 20 this year and comes from a small village below Yongnian Township. Her parents are farmers. After failing the college entrance examination, she attended a technical school for three years.

I had just graduated and was recruiting waiters for the county guest house. I was successfully admitted with excellent performance in all aspects. It has been less than a month since I started working.

After Li Yuanlang inquired, he said, "I'll ask you to take more care of my room from now on."

After Song Qingshuang left, Li Yuanlang told Chang Ming: "You can stay and give it a try."

With Xiaojiao's lessons learned, Li Yuanlang became more cautious. Although Song Qingshuang's first impression was good, he still needed to observe it in the future before making any plans.

Next, Li Yuanlang proposed to Chang Ming that he would go to the towns below for a walk next week and let Chang Ming arrange the route and timetable.

Tomorrow is Friday, and Li Yuanlang wants to visit well-known private enterprises in the county first and hold a symposium with everyone to understand the current situation of private enterprises.

Due to the enterprise restructuring in the early years, all the original state-owned enterprises in Daiding County were converted into private ownership.

During this period, it has undergone several in-depth reforms, and currently it is private enterprises that support the economic development of Daiding County.

Chang Ming told him that there are three most representative private companies in Daiding County.

The first one must be the powerful Jiayang Group.

There is also Yushan Industrial Co., Ltd., which mainly manufactures furniture.

Finally, there is Weishun Real Estate Co., Ltd., which developed Xingfuli Community in Daiding County.

Li Yuanlang thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow we will go to Yushan Company first, then Weishun Real Estate, and finally Jiayang Group."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Look, who else needs to accompany you?"

Li Yuanlang thought for a while and explained: "Zhong Kang, he is in charge of industry. We can just call the relevant departments such as industry and commerce. Control it to less than ten people. It doesn't take too many."

When Feng Man received a call from Chang Ming, he was entertaining Lu Dingfang and Xing Dong in his private club.

This private club is never open to the public and is hidden in his three-story villa on the outskirts of the county.

There are all kinds of restaurants, bathing and entertainment, which are no less than high-end clubs in big cities.

Only people who have a close relationship with Feng Man have the opportunity to come here. To put it bluntly, they are people who can impress Feng Man and create huge wealth for him.

Feng Man can be said to have started from scratch.

He was born in an ordinary peasant family. His father was a carpenter. In those days, having a skill was better than digging in the dirt.

Moreover, at that time, everyone hired people to make their own furniture, and the carpentry industry was very popular.

Because of this, his family's living conditions were much better than those of ordinary people. Feng Man's childhood could be said to have no worries about food and clothing, and he was full of happiness.

Unfortunately, this kind of life did not last long. His father suffered from cerebral congestion and fell on the carpenter's bench, never to wake up again.

That year, Feng Man was just ten years old.

His mother had been a widow for a year and had no choice but to marry an old bachelor in the village who had never been married and was more than ten years older than her.

In the beginning, the stepfather was pretty good to Feng Man and his son.

It's just that after Feng Man's mother gave birth to a younger brother and a younger sister one after another, the stepfather's attitude towards Feng Man plummeted, and his rough nature was undoubtedly exposed.

He was beaten or scolded, and it became the norm for Feng Man not to have enough to eat.

In his second year of junior high school, he forced Feng Man to drop out of school and stay at home to take care of his younger brother and sister because his family had no money.

Once, Feng Man saw his brother and sister each holding a biscuit in their hands. The fifteen-year-old Feng Man was so greedy that his mouth watered.

Feng Man, who often picks up leftovers to eat without enough food, has not known the taste of biscuits for a long time.

While there was no one at home, I secretly took the biscuits from my brother and sister. I didn't dare to take more, and each of them only broke off a small piece.

Just before he put it in his mouth, before he could chew it, his stepfather who came back suddenly saw him. He angrily grabbed a shovel and hit Feng Man directly.

Feng Man was so frightened that he ran around. His mother came back just in time to protect him with her body and begged his stepfather to let Feng Man go.

The stepfather refused to give up and shouted that he must beat Feng Man to death.

During the beating, his mother also took a beating on Feng Man's behalf, and blood suddenly flowed from his head.

Feng Man was about to come over to see his mother's injury, but he heard his mother covering her head and shouting: "If you don't run away, you will be beaten to death by your father!"

One sentence reminded Feng Man, and he ran out of the house, rolling and crawling, and went straight to the mountains outside the village to find a place to hide.

I hid there all night, without eating or drinking, and I was very hungry.

The next morning, he didn't dare to come out until he heard his mother calling Feng Man's name.

His mother had a bandage on her head. She hugged him into her arms and said in tears: "Xiaoman, Mom is sorry for you. Your stepfather can't tolerate you. I think you should go out and make a career for yourself."

After that, he took out a square folded sheet of ten yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Feng Man's hand, "You need this money for emergency use."

"Mom..." Feng Man couldn't stop his tears from falling slowly.

She is a housewife, and her stepfather is very strict with money. I wonder how his mother secretly saved ten yuan.

"Mom, I don't have to..." Feng Man had already burst into tears.

"Son, take it, mother has nothing to do, I can only help you with this." She put the money in Feng Man's black hand, pressed his fingers tightly, and made him hold it tightly.

He also gave Feng Man two pancakes and some clean clothes, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and reluctantly carried him to the road leading to the outside of the village.

Looking at his mother's lonely figure, Feng Man held the ten-dollar bill in his hand and burst into tears.

After that, he walked dozens of miles to Daiding County.

I found a job as a handyman in a small restaurant called Jiayang, and finally settled down.

The boss bullied him into being a minor and only gave him twenty yuan a month, but he did more work than anyone else.

In order to survive, Feng Man agreed to do whatever his boss asked him to do without any complaints.

Later, I discussed with the boss that if he wanted to stay in a restaurant at night, his salary could be reduced by half, and he would be given just ten yuan.

The boss was naturally happy. Not only did he save ten yuan for no reason, but he also had someone to look after the store, killing two birds with one stone.

Feng Man worked in a small restaurant for three years. Because of his cleverness and hard work, the boss was very satisfied with him. Not only did he increase his salary, he also asked him to go to the kitchen to help the cooking chef.

Feng Man is smart and good at reading people's eyes, and he can coax the chef into a circle every time he goes back and forth.

I also took advantage of this to learn a lot of cooking skills from the chef. I stayed in the store at night, secretly cooked and tasted the dishes, found out the gaps and shortcomings, and made improvements.

Two years have passed and Feng Man has learned a lot from the chef. He dreams of one day being able to cook independently and become a chef that even his boss would not dare to offend.
