After a three-hour journey, Chu Nan drove his Range Rover off-road vehicle into the boundary of Wenxiang Town.
Since Wenxiang Town and the adjacent Linzi County are closer to the provincial capital Yongning City, after Chunan got off the expressway, he entered along the neighboring counties and did not pass through the urban area of Qianhu City.
Although it is late autumn, many of the vegetation in the mountainous area of Qianhu City in the south are still lush and lush. Unlike the north, where the leaves wither away in late autumn, it looks like spring all year round and the scenery is picturesque.
Indeed, Qianhu City has lakes, mountains and beautiful scenery. Tourism development here is not a bad thing, but a good thing that can make the local people rich.
Chu Nan walked along the somewhat rugged mountain road and headed towards Wenxiang Town deep in the mountainous area.
The rickety car body kept bumping and the road became increasingly difficult to walk.
After driving for about twenty minutes, a small town at the foot of the mountain surrounded by mountains appeared in Chu Nan's field of vision. He knew at a glance that Wenxiang Town had arrived.
This Wenxiang town is very interesting. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and a lake on the other side. The mountain tops are shrouded in clouds and mist. Under the blue sky and white clouds, it is like a fairyland on earth. It is really the most ideal paradise for health preservation.
"It's no wonder that the Southeast Provincial Government has approved the plan to turn this place into a provincial-level scenic spot. It would be a pity not to develop tourism in such a beautiful place."
Chu Nan looked at the beautiful scenery outside the car window and couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Ying sighed with emotion and said, "To be honest, if it weren't for the hardships of the villagers in the mountainous area of Wenxiang Town, I actually don't like the government to develop this place as a scenic spot.
The beauty of nature lies entirely in the word nature. If it is developed by humans, nature will no longer be natural, and the mountains and rivers here will definitely be greatly compromised."
"This is a problem that must be brought about by economic development, and there is no solution."
Chu Nan said, "If we want to get the mountain people out of poverty, we must develop the economy. Destroying nature to a certain extent is a helpless move."
"That's all we can do... By the way, Wenxiang Town is just ahead. After you enter the town, turn left and drive another ten kilometers into the mountains. My pharmaceutical factory will be there."
"Surrounded by green mountains, I think the Lin Family Pharmaceutical Factory and the Medicine Mountain must also be beautiful.
You were born in such a beautiful environment, and you are indeed naturally beautiful, with such good skin."
Chu Nan praised Lin Ying's beauty, which made her feel a little shy.
The two drove directly through the relatively old Wenxiang Town, along the ten-kilometer rural road, and arrived at the Lin Family Pharmaceutical Factory located in Shan'ao.
In fact, the structure of the Lin Family Pharmaceutical Factory is very simple. Chu Nan has already understood it as soon as he arrived here. The pharmaceutical factory occupies a relatively large area, but most of them are brick and tile bungalow structures. There is only one five-story office building with some age, which is the only one.
A relatively eye-catching building.
The pharmaceutical factory is surrounded by mountains, and behind the factory, there are two relatively large medicine mountains, with many medicinal materials planted on them. However, because many trees have been cut down, they are obviously different from the surrounding mountains.
Somewhat surprised.
The Range Rover off-road vehicle stopped smoothly in front of the pharmaceutical factory.
It's not that Chu Nan didn't want to drive into the factory, but at the gate of the factory, a long and deep pit was dug. It would be difficult for even a bulldozer to get through, let alone a car.
The building of the pharmaceutical factory is old, and since it has not been under construction for so long, weeds and flowers are everywhere, making it look very dilapidated.
Lin Ying's eyes were a little red as soon as she got off the car. Indeed, she grew up in a pharmaceutical factory and naturally has deep feelings for this place.
Now that I see this factory in such a dilapidated state, if I can't help but feel sad, then it's a ghost.
Chu Nan opened the trunk lid and took out the black handbag containing the two million cash.
This was his promise to help Lin Ying and prepare for her advance payment of arrears of wages to the mountain people.
The two of them came to this pharmaceutical factory for this very reason.
Originally, I just gave it to him, so it didn't matter if Lin Ying came to send it.
But Chu Nan was really afraid of being deceived by this woman, and he also wanted to see for himself whether the Lin Pharmaceutical Factory was what Lin Ying said.
The two of them stepped on the bumpy road and walked toward the ruined gate of the pharmaceutical factory.
Fortunately, Lin Ying didn't wear high heels, but changed into a pair of sneakers when she got off the car, otherwise she would have sprained her ankle.
As soon as they entered the factory area, Chu Nan and Lin Ying found that the originally quiet environment around them was instantly broken. A large group of workers in uniforms and holding sticks suddenly appeared from all directions in the factory area, and they were directly surrounded by a group of workers.
Surround.
"No one can enter our factory! No one can take our land! The factory is still there, but if you dare to demolish it, we will fight with you!"
The workers shouted excitedly and loudly, startling Chu Nan and Lin Ying who were surrounded.
Facing these fierce and angry pharmaceutical factory workers around him, Chu Nan knew that he and Lin Ying had been misunderstood by them. They must have thought that they were opponents of demolishing the pharmaceutical factory.
"Dear mountain folk, you have mistaken the wrong person. I am Lin Ying, and my father is Lin Huashan, the director of this pharmaceutical factory!"
Lin Ying, of course, knew the pharmaceutical factory better than Chu Nan, so she hurriedly said, "Don't panic, we are here to solve the problem. Please don't rush to misunderstand us or attack us!"
As soon as Lin Ying's words came out, the workers in the pharmaceutical factory were stunned, and an uproar ensued.
"Miss Lin?
Oops, it’s really Miss Lin. Come on, everyone, please disperse. This is Director Lin’s daughter. We have watched Lin Ying grow up since she was a child!”
At this moment, several old workers recognized Lin Ying and hurriedly told everyone to disperse.
However, before the old worker could finish speaking, someone stepped forward to stop everyone from dispersing.
"Ms. Lin, it's great that you can come to this factory. Look at what this factory is like.
Where is your father?
Where has your father fled to, and he hasn't come to care about us all for so long!"
The old worker seemed to be very authoritative and said in a casual voice, "We won't care about the pharmaceutical factory until the matter is resolved. What we care about now is when the wages owed to us will be paid to us!"
"Yes, when will the wages be paid to us?"
"Director Lin has escaped, what should we do?"
"That is, when will the demolition of this factory be completed? We all have to live!"
For a while, the workers complained and surrounded Lin Ying and Chu Nan.
Lin Ying glanced at the old worker who had spoken just now and said, "Are you Master Huang?
The old village chief of Yuquan Village on the mountain?
I stayed at your house for many days when I was a child, I remember you!"
Master Huang glanced at Lin Ying and seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Miss Lin, I'm not trying to embarrass you here. It's been so long since Director Lin didn't show up. It's not easy for you to come here. You have to give us an explanation."
.”
Lin Ying sighed softly and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Listen to me, Master Huang, you are a veteran in the factory and you know who my father is.
The factory was about to be demolished and the loan was being plotted. My father owed a lot of debt and had to go out to hide from the limelight. But he thought about everyone every day and knew that we were all villagers in the mountains and life was not easy, so he tried his best to borrow money everywhere.
No, although I couldn't save the factory, I borrowed your wages. I'm here today just to pay everyone!"
"real?
Oh, that would be great!"
Master Huang said excitedly, "Thank you, Miss Lin. Many people in the village are eager to spend money for medical treatment and education. You really came in time!"
Lin Ying smiled, turned her head and winked at Chu Nan, as if to say, look, do you see it?
I really didn't lie to you.
Chu Nan nodded and confirmed that Lin Ying really did not lie to him. These pharmaceutical factory workers with old clothes and dark skin were indeed unpaid.
Lin Ying took out her account book and said loudly, "Dear fellow mountain people, I have recorded every penny of the money that the pharmaceutical factory owes you. There are a total of one hundred and forty-three workers, each of whom is paid one thousand per month."
Calculating the salary of seven hundred and forty yuan, that’s a total of eight months’ salary and a debt of two million yuan. Now, I will pay it to everyone in person!”
"good!!!"
When the workers saw Lin Ying saying this, they were immediately excited.
This money is undoubtedly life-saving money for them.
However, just when Lin Ying took the black handbag from Chu Nan and planned to distribute the cash to everyone, suddenly a loud siren sounded outside the factory, making the originally cheerful atmosphere in the factory suddenly solemn!
