Chapter 279 Heading to Yanjing
Only then did Cao Chunyuan realize that there were so many guests at home early in the morning. Li Xianglan must have been busy greeting the guests and didn't even have time to prepare breakfast.
For a time, Cao Chunyuan was full of resentment towards the guests outside the door who came to pay New Year greetings.
“I don’t have many relatives at home, so I go there every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but looking at the situation today, it seems a little difficult.
Alas, no matter what, let’s ignore them and cook first and fill our stomachs later!”
"OK!"
Cen Shuhong nodded and took the initiative to help Wang Manni make breakfast. Cao Chunyuan poured the boiling water on the stove into the thermos and added some firewood to the stove.
With three people working together, the small kitchen was busy.
"Oh, you three woke up!"
As soon as Wang Manni put the cut hand-made noodles into the pot, Li Xianglan came to the kitchen.
Cao Chunyuan walked quickly to Li Xianglan, lowered her head, and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what's going on outside? Why are there so many people here so early in the morning?"
Li Xianglan blinked. Most of these are directed at you. If you ask me, who should I ask?
She forced a smile and said, "Isn't this the Chinese New Year? Isn't it normal for people to come over to pay New Year greetings?"
Cao Chunyuan secretly glanced outside the door. The people outside were chatting enthusiastically and had no intention of leaving. In the past, when had this kind of scene happened in Lao Cao's house?
"Mom, shall we go and pay New Year's greetings to my aunt and the others today?"
"Haha~"
Li Xianglan smiled awkwardly but politely, thinking that you couldn't see the situation outside. There were so many guests here early in the morning, and they had no intention of leaving at all.
Maybe, more people will come in a while. People are kind-hearted and come to pay New Year greetings. I can't chase people away, right?
"Well, if you want to be busy, just do your work first. You may not be able to leave home for a while. New Year greetings are just a formality. They are the same for the first few New Year greetings."
"Okay, then I'll go to the company in a minute. I don't want to be like my dad and pretend to be polite to people like them."
Li Xianglan nodded and said: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about them!"
"Okay, Mom, we specially cooked some more noodles. You can come over and eat some later."
"Okay, I'll bring a pot of hot water over there first, and I'll come over later to eat."
After saying that, Li Xianglan walked to the kitchen cabinet, picked up the thermos bottle on the table and went out.
After Li Xianglan left, Cen Shuhong immediately came to Cao Chunyuan and whispered: "Mr. Cao, I really envy your family. There are so many relatives coming to your house to pay New Year's greetings.
Every year, my family visits a few relatives that we are familiar with, and some relatives with whom we are not close friends do not visit during the Chinese New Year."
Cao Chunyuan smiled and shook her head, but did not explain to Cen Shuhong that those people outside had no relatives of hers at all. These people were the leaders of various villages in Dazhangzi Township, and some villagers from Liujia Village who had a good relationship with Cao Shien.
"In the countryside, it's just for fun. The noodles are almost ready, so let's eat the noodles first!"
"Okay, I didn't expect that Manny's cooking skills are pretty good. Whoever marries Manny will be lucky."
Wang Manni shook her head arrogantly, "When I get on my horse, I can conquer the market, and when I get off my horse, I can be a good cook. Whoever marries me will have to go to the ancestral graves to burn incense!"
Cao Chunyuan kicked the grumbling Wang Manni in the butt, "Watch your face. If you get confused, you won't have to eat today."
After breakfast, Cao Chunyuan was confused. The plan she had made before was to go to a relative's house to pay New Year's greetings today and to meet Zhang Yunxi in Yanjing tomorrow.
As a result, a large group of people came to the house early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings, which disrupted her plan.
Cao Chunyuan thought about it again and again and decided to change her plan temporarily. She went back to Yanjing with Wang Manni today to pay New Year's greetings to Song Yulong and Pei Shaorong first, and then meet Zhang Yunxi.
After that, she would return to her hometown and pick up the surprise she had prepared for everyone.
At the entrance of Dazhangzi Agricultural Research Center, Cen Shuhong looked at Cao Chunyuan and Wang Manni with great reluctance.
"Mr. Cao, you have to go to Yanjing to discuss business on the first day of the new year. Isn't it too hard?"
Cao Chunyuan's family knew about her family affairs, so she waved her hands a little embarrassedly, "Now that the company is getting bigger and bigger, there is nothing we can do about it. You can wait for us in the laboratory when we come back. There will be a surprise tonight!"
Hearing this, Cen Shuhong had a searching look on her face. She looked at Cao Chunyuan very curiously and asked: "Mr. Cao, can you reveal a little bit about me? I feel itchy when you hang me like this!"
Cao Chunyuan reached out and poked Cen Shuhong on the forehead, and said with a smile: "You are a good boy, don't learn those messy things from Manny. Work hard, and you will know when I come back."
Cen Shuhong stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, nodded, and said, "Okay, Mr. Cao, I'll wait for you to come back in the laboratory."
"Uh-huh."
Cao Chunyuan gently patted Cen Shuhong on the shoulder, then got into the car with Wang Manni and headed straight to Yanjing.
In the car, Wang Manni secretly glanced at Lao Lang who was driving. Seeing that he was concentrating on driving, she came close to Cao Chunyuan, lay in Cao Chunyuan's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Cao, are you in such a hurry to come to Yanjing?
For a date?"
In an instant, a wisp of red clouds climbed up Cao Chunyuan's neck and onto Cao Chunyuan's pretty face, dyeing her fair and tender face pink and pink.
Cao Chunyuan, whose feelings were revealed, gave Wang Manni a fierce look, "I see you don't want the New Year's red envelope and year-end bonus!"
Hearing this, Wang Manni quickly bowed her head and began to discuss work matters with Cao Chunyuan.
"Director Cao, I have already recruited some of the candidate managers you asked me to recruit. They are all college graduates or middle-level company managers with certain work experience.
You happen to be in Yanjing this time, would you like to stop by the company to take a look?
The Delicious Cannery is about to open for business soon. Director Feng has to take care of the Delicious Cannery, the Delicious Almond Dew Factory, and the Funan Branch in Malaysia. He will definitely be too busy by himself.
You are about to set up a ranch and dairy factory, and there are not many people around you who can help you. I'm worried that you won't be able to cope with it."
Cao Chunyuan was a little moved by Wang Manni's proposal, but it was the first day of the Lunar New Year and all state-owned enterprises were on holiday. How could there be an interview on the first day of the Lunar New Year?
"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Do you want me to have an interview?"
Wang Manni shrugged and said very naturally: "Dr. Cao, you underestimate yourself too much. You don't know that you are now a living star. I don't know how many recent college graduates are trying to squeeze you into our company.
There are even people who are not qualified in their majors, but just to work under you, they are determined to join our company."
"Um?"
Cao Chunyuan tilted her head and looked at Wang Manni in confusion.
She knew that she had a certain reputation now, but in the final analysis she was just a fruit merchant, and she had not made any particularly outstanding achievements in business.
With just this, can she still attract countless elites from universities across industries to defect to her?
