Wang Ye slowed down and drove around the newly built industrial park.

Don't tell me, this land was originally a wasteland outside the county town, but now it has become particularly lively because the factory was completed and put into production.

Especially opposite the factory gate, a row of newly built front houses, various restaurants, small supermarkets, fruit shops, clothing stores, etc. are doing well.

The gate of the factory area is open, and a large truck loaded with goods will drive out and go straight to the highway intersection.

This should be a delivery vehicle for other places.

Wang Ye heard from his father that this flour improver factory is the first flour improver factory in China, and its business has been expanding well, with customers all over the country, and its market share is still very high.

At present, no opponent of sufficient weight has emerged.

In the particularly inconspicuous industry of flour improvers, he is also at the "leading boss" level...

…………

"It seems that the reason why our county was so poor before was because there was no industry to drive the development of the local economy.

Look, just such a small factory has directly made this originally wasteland so lively.

Even looking at this, the development center of the county is leaning this way.

A large factory can directly drive the economic development of a place."

Wang Ye sighed.

Zhang Xiaoxi said with a smile: "This is not a small factory anymore, the number of workers in your father's factory is said to have exceeded 2,000!

With this scale, let alone our small county, it is the largest factory in the entire region.

There are no well-known large factories or companies in our area, perhaps Longhu Flour Improver Factory is the most famous one."

Wang Ye laughed dumbly, shook his head and said nothing.

This kind of factory with 2,000 people is certainly not a big company in his eyes.

There are a lot of people, but the overall revenue is not much at all.

The group companies under his control, perhaps like New Sun Group, Kitty Eagle Group, two Internet companies, etc., do not have as many employees as Dad’s flour improver factory.

But in terms of revenue, it can beat the flour improver factory by ten blocks!

But there is no way, my hometown county is a relatively backward inland area, with neither resources nor talents, so I can only do this kind of labor-intensive enterprise.

High-tech industries with high gold content, or service industries that require high consumption, simply cannot be done here.

Even if the state-licensed Kitty Eagle Group comes to open a gaming center, it probably won't make much money, because most of the locals are really poor...

…………

After passing the industrial park, you will find the Chengxi District where Wang Ye and Zhang Xiaoxi's homes are located. Their homes are not far apart.

Wang Ye first took Zhang Xiaoxi home, and after she got off the car, he turned around and drove towards his home.

The area where they live is where the rich people in the county gather.

When I came back a few years ago, there weren't many cars parked on the roadside, but this time it was different.

There were many cars parked scattered along the roadside.

Of course, there are no very good cars. They are basically Jetta, Toyota, and Buick cars, and most of them cost one or two hundred thousand yuan.

Wang Ye parked the car at the entrance of his alley, opened the trunk and took out the suitcase.

It was already after six o'clock in the evening, which was the time for dinner, so I didn't meet anyone.

Of course, even if they met, Wang Ye wouldn't recognize him...

In the familiar small courtyard and small building, Wang Ye pulled his suitcase and stood at the entrance of the courtyard and stopped.

The far door is open, and both parents know that he will be home tonight.

I could vaguely hear the voices of my parents talking from the living room. Before getting off the highway, Wang Yeyou called home to say something, so my mother must have prepared the meal and was waiting for him to come back to eat together.

…………

"Mom, I'm back!"

After subconsciously shouting this, Wang Ye even laughed.

When he was in China, whenever he came home from school, his first words would usually be this.

If sometimes he sees his father alone at home, he will ask: "Dad, where is my mother?"

This is not to say that he is not close to his father, but every child has a deeper affection for his mother!

As soon as Wang Ye finished speaking, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps in the living room, and his father and mother came out together.

Seeing Wang Ye standing in the courtyard, my mother smiled happily and said, "You brat, you are back. Come into the house quickly. The food is ready. You must be very tired after driving for a day."

Dad smiled and said nothing, but the bright smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood.

After closing the courtyard door, the family of three returned to the living room. Wang Ye saw that the dining table was already filled with food, which was quite sumptuous and all of them were what he liked to eat.

He sniffed, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "It smells so good. This smell should be the braised pork made by my father."

Dad had a big smile on his face and said quickly:

"Yeah, didn't I get a call at noon that you had to rush back? I didn't go to the company this afternoon. I drove to the big supermarket in the city with your mother to buy groceries for you to cook. This braised pork is made in a real casserole

It simmered all afternoon and simmered over low heat. It will definitely melt in your mouth. You can’t get this kind of hard food made with slow work and meticulous work in restaurants outside!”

What he said makes sense. Most restaurants out there don't have the leisure to cook a dish for you for several hours.

Of course, if it takes so long, the guests won’t be able to wait...

But what dad said is not entirely correct. There are still some private restaurants or very high-end restaurants that you can book in advance, and they will cook for you carefully.

It’s just that the price is not within the reach of ordinary people...

…………

After a quick wash, the family of three sat around the dining table and started having dinner.

My mother asked with concern: "By the way, didn't you meet an old classmate in the provincial capital today and want to stay there for one night? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Wang Ye's mouth was full of vegetables, and he mumbled while chewing: "I have met my old classmates, and I have nothing to do in the provincial capital, so I thought I might as well come back. By the way, do you know Zhang Xiaoxi?

She lives not far from our home, and she was also my high school classmate. The girl who was admitted to Tsinghua University came back with me."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! My mother’s eyes lit up and she nodded quickly:

"Of course I know! When her Tsinghua University admission notice arrived, the county sent a team of people to walk around here beating gongs and drums.

Who doesn’t know that the daughter of the old Zhang family is very ambitious? She was the only one in your school who was admitted to Tsinghua University that year.

It's a pity that you, a brat, didn't live up to your expectations and got admitted to a junior college that year. Later, when I met Zhang Xiaoxi, her parents were too embarrassed to go up and say hello, for fear that people would ask about you.

Fortunately, your kid seems to have suddenly enlightened after going abroad and knows how to do business and make money.

But in the future, she is still not as good as Zhang Xiaoxi. She should have graduated from college, and she will probably be able to work in ministries and commissions directly, but she is a promising candidate for becoming a high-ranking official!"

The words were filled with envy for Zhang Xiaoxi and hatred for Wang Ye...

Dad beside him couldn't bear to listen anymore. He coughed and said:

"You can't think like this. It's not easy to get into ministries and commissions. Even if you graduate from Tsinghua University, you have to go through selection before you can work in ministries and commissions.

I met Zhang Xiaoxi’s father some time ago and chatted for a few words. I heard from him that Zhang Xiaoxi did not join the workforce, but continued to study for graduate school, still at Tsinghua University.”

When my mother heard this, she exclaimed: "Then she will be able to stay and teach at Tsinghua University in the future. She will probably get a Ph.D. in one go!

That’s a PhD from Tsinghua University!”

Dad retorted:

“It’s not easy to stay in Tsinghua to teach!

Although in our opinion, a doctorate from Tsinghua University is indeed very valuable, but in a city like the capital, it is just... not bad.

In the future, Xiaoye may develop much better than Zhang Xiaoxi.

When Xiaoye returns to China to start a business and set up a big company in the capital, Zhang Xiaoxi may have to work for Xiaoye."

My mother curled her lips and said, "That's a good idea. How big of a company must it be to be able to afford a doctoral student from Tsinghua University? Isn't Xiaoye doing foreign trade in Moscow? Oh, it's also a charter company. There's nothing you can do about it."

Start a company.

When I return to China in the future, I might still do foreign trade-related work.

By the way, Xiaoye, how's your business doing? I haven't heard you mention anything about the business the last few times I've called."

Dad also turned his eyes and looked at Wang Ye with concern.

In the past six months, every time I called Wang Ye, I always talked about family matters.

But Wang Ye rarely talked about what happened there. Whenever he was asked, he just vaguely said that the business was okay and he was doing well.

My parents discussed privately whether it was possible that foreign trade would not be successful this year, or that business would be sluggish, but Wang Ye was afraid that his family would be worried, so he didn't say anything.

Listening to the bickering between his parents, Wang Ye smiled and said nothing. Now when his mother suddenly asked him about it, he quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and put down the chopsticks in his hands.

On the way back, Wang Ye also thought about it for a long time. He felt that there were some things that his parents should know.
