Heard Zhang Tianxing's stern words, some employees were immediately frightened.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, don't be angry, we'll be more careful next time. It's mainly that the child is unwell, and there's no one at home to look after him."
Zhang Tianxing waved his hand, "I'm not targeting you, I'm just heartbroken. Our factory has money now, not no money. Why can't we do better? What's wrong with spending a little money on employees?"
"Back then, when the few of us started the canned food factory, I said that the people working here, in the same position, I would give them the highest salary. I don't know if my old brothers still remember this."
"My promise has been fulfilled, but now there's a new problem, what to do if there's no one to look after the children? Don't worry, the factory is your strongest backing. The problems you can't solve, the factory will solve for you. Let's all work in the same direction to make our canned food factory business even more prosperous."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, many workers were so moved that tears streamed down their faces. Boss Xiao Zhang's words were too good.
These words touched our hearts. Boss Xiao Zhang treats us like his own family.
Boss Xiao Zhang is a person worth befriending, he truly cares about us and solves our problems.
At this moment, everyone secretly vowed to work hard and not to let down Boss Xiao Zhang's good intentions…
Zhang Tianxing couldn't stay at the factory any longer; he still had to go home to see his parents.
Back home, the familiar aroma wafted from the kitchen. Zhang Tianxing shouted, "I, Zhang Tianxing, am back!"
Comrade Liang Juan came out of the kitchen, carrying Zhang Tianxing's favorite braised pork ribs.
"Go on, get out of the way, go wash your hands first."
Zhang Tianxing replied, "Mom, this is a gift I brought for you, an elder."
"I'm already this old, why bring a gift? How did you manage to bring so much?" Comrade Liang Juan noticed that the things Zhang Tianxing brought back were a bit much.
"I drove back. I bought a car," Zhang Tianxing said casually, but he didn't dare to mention the price of the "Tiger Head Benz."
"Good, not bad. When you have time, take Mom out for a spin, let Mom show off a bit." Comrade Liang Juan said with satisfaction.
She had no other ambitions now. Her son was in college, and their family's life had been flourishing recently.
The canned food factory alone made a lot of money every day, a number she had never dared to imagine before.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have invested money in the crayfish. She had to feed them every few days, which was always an expense.
She was becoming more and more anxious. The canned food factory was profitable, but the shrimp farm was still a constant drain on their finances with no returns.
Fortunately, her second brother, Liang Cheng, had persuaded her a few words, "Just trust Tianxing this one time. You don't know how popular the crayfish are. The money invested now is small; once they sell some crayfish, the money will come back."
Only then did she refrain from complaining.
At this moment, Zhang Tianxing was unaware that while he was eating delicious food at home,
the Tiger Head Benz parked outside his house had already caused quite a stir.
Neighbors were amazed when they saw Zhang Tianxing's car.
"Good heavens, Zhang's boy has already bought a car. In less than half a year, he's transformed! How can the Feng Shui of the Zhang family be so good? Is their ancestral grave smoking with auspicious energy? A factory and a car, truly remarkable."
"I've seen Zhang Tianxing since he was little, and he was always smart. As I expected, he has achieved so much while still in college. This child is no ordinary person; once he encounters the right Feng Shui, he will soar like a dragon."
When he came out, the neighbors were all making sarcastic remarks, not because he had far surpassed his peers.
"Little Zhang, how much did this Benz cost? Your mother earned money with difficulty, and the house hasn't even been built yet. Is buying a car a bit extravagant?"
"Exactly, we shouldn't be so extravagant even if we have money, right? Share some of the money with everyone."
The people were still the same, but the relationships had changed.
Zhang Tianxing smiled when he heard this, what kind of situation was this.
Even when neighbors saw their own children, they thought of the Zhang family's canned food factory and barbecue restaurant, and sighed. They were all children from the same place, attending the same local high school.
How could there be such a big difference? It wasn't scientific, and it didn't make sense.
The facts were there, and they could do nothing about it. They could only stand on the moral high ground and criticize any of Zhang Tianxing's actions that were even slightly out of line with a storm of criticism.
Zhang Tianxing understood in his heart that it was not because the Zhang family only had him as a male heir.
No matter how much times progressed, the deeply ingrained patriarchal观念 of thousands of years of Chinese history could not be easily shaken.
Especially in rural areas, having more sons gives you more confidence; those without sons can only keep a low profile. Otherwise, a single spittle from each person could drown you.
If he had two more younger brothers or older brothers, not to mention anything else, these neighbors wouldn't be gossiping like this.
It was just that they were bullying the Zhang family because Zhang Tianxing was their only son.
Zhang Tianxing did not tolerate the neighbors' bad habits. It was true that he was alone, but he was strong and could fight several people.
If anyone was unconvinced, he would fight until they were convinced. He had looks, money, and people. How dare these neighbors gossip here?
If you say another word and make my mother unhappy, I will have endless trouble with all of you.
Never mind others, even the workers in my factory will beat you up. You still won't be convinced. In a couple of days, I'll show you what it means to be a person of your word.
In the future, I will make you unable to reach me. Don't bully the poor young man. Now, I, Zhang Tianxing, have risen.
When the neighbors saw Zhang Tianxing, they dared not say anything more. This Zhang Tianxing was not someone to be easily provoked.
Those hooligans on the street were no match for Zhang Tianxing, so how could these common folk dare to provoke him?
Moreover, Zhang Tianxing now had money and a car, which made him a person of standing. Things were different from before.
When Zhang Tianxing was eating with his mother, Liang Juan.
Liang Juan directly issued an order.
"I don't care about anything else, you must go see your maternal grandmother. Back then, how good your grandmother was to you. When you were in high school, she didn't spend money on herself and gave it to you."
Zhang Tianxing chuckled.
"Don't worry, I will. Look what I have here. I specifically bought Brain Platinum for the elderly."
Which one is it, "No gifts for the holiday, only Brain Platinum for gifts"?
Zhang Tianxing nodded, and Liang Juan couldn't help but smile.
"Good, it seems you have some conscience, it's no wonder your grandmother doted on you."
"How much did you buy?"
"Not much, enough for my grandmother to take for half a year. Let me put it this way, we'll take some first, and I'll bring the rest before I leave after the New Year."
Zhang Tianxing felt guilty towards his grandmother. The old lady was getting on in years, so he could only bring her more good food when he visited.
The old lady lived a hard life and was reluctant to spend money, yet she raised three children.
The eldest uncle was doing a small business abroad and had not had time to return.
The second uncle, Liang Cheng, was now doing business with Zhang Tianxing.
The family was not very prosperous in terms of male descendants, but that did not prevent Zhang Tianxing from soaring to success.
