"Hello, Boss. I've been waiting for you to come and inspect the work, and it's been quite a wait!"
Yu Guanghui had never met Su Xiaotian, but he was familiar with her voice.
The moment Su Xiaotian spoke, he felt a sense of closeness, and his smile became more sincere.
Moreover, seeing Su Xiaotian, despite her young age, carried herself with such grace and confidence, showing no timidity at all.
He couldn't help but admire her composure, marveling that she could manage two factories at such a young age.
"Over the past two years, the factory's affairs have been a burden on Director Yu. Without Director Yu's hard work and dedication, the factory wouldn't have achieved what it has today."
Su Xiaotian said this with genuine sincerity.
As a hands-off owner, Su Xiaotian had to admit that she was indeed fortunate. Neither of the factory managers harbored any ill intentions.
"This is what I should do. I also want to thank the boss for giving me this opportunity," Yu Guanghui said with equal sincerity.
He had always hoped to have his own business, but his family's financial situation was too poor, and he didn't even have the capital to start a small venture.
It was thanks to Su Xiaotian providing such a platform that he could realize his ambitions.
Furthermore, after the factory was established, Su Xiaotian, as the behind-the-scenes owner, had not treated him unfairly.
His current circumstances were even better than those of his peers who had started their own small businesses.
"Director Yu, let's go inside. It's not good to stand at the entrance talking."
Yu Guanghui then said with a beaming smile, "It was my oversight. Please, Boss!"
Su Xiaotian glanced at Gan Wenshan and Miao Xin standing nearby. Their eyes were still somewhat dazed, clearly still in a state of shock.
Both of them knew that the factory owner was someone else and had heard that the owner was from the capital.
However, they never expected it to be such a young girl.
No, calling the boss young wasn't even appropriate; this was clearly an underage girl.
Su Xiaotian gave them a bright smile, "Brother Gan, Brother Miao, thank you for your hard work!"
Seeing Su Xiaotian's smile, they both felt an overwhelming sense of being honored.
Although they had been treated with care by the factory leaders at the gatehouse, no one had ever been so polite to them.
After all, anyone who could enter the factory was much better off than they were.
For the two disabled individuals who could only work as security guards at the entrance, it was already a lot for others in the factory to maintain basic respect.
The two watched as Su Xiaotian walked into the factory with Yu Guanghui and entered the office building, still standing at the entrance.
"Old Miao, what do you think? Why is our boss so kind?"
Aren't all businessmen supposed to be cunning?
How come there's no trace of cunning in the boss?
"If the boss weren't kind, our brothers probably wouldn't have this job now!"
After all, they could have hired someone else.
Who would hire disabled people if they could hire able-bodied ones?
Although the work at the gatehouse was simple and easy, it was still a public-facing role. In the past two years, many customers had looked at them with surprise when entering.
But the boss had never looked at them with prejudice.
Meanwhile, Yu Guanghui led Su Xiaotian into the office building on the third floor.
Unlike the factory and office areas in the capital, which were all single-story buildings, the factories and office buildings in Licheng were multi-story.
This alone showed the difference between the two places.
"Boss, your office is on the second floor. Shall I take you there first?" Yu Guanghui said as they walked.
Su Xiaotian was not surprised that Yu Guanghui had arranged a special office for her in the office building.
But coming here in a hurry, checking the office felt like a surprise visit.
Su Xiaotian agreed with a smile.
Yu Guanghui immediately had someone unlock the office door on the east side of the second floor.
Then he gestured for Su Xiaotian to enter.
The office, about forty square meters, was divided into two areas.
Half was designated as a reception area, with a sofa and coffee table, and two thriving green plants beside them.
The other half was the office area, with a desk, chair, and a large bookshelf.
It had to be said that the layout of this office had a strong modern feel.
It wasn't too unfashionable compared to offices commonly seen in later generations.
What was even more commendable was that the entire office was spotless, clearly having been cleaned.
"It's quite clean."
"The factory has dedicated staff responsible for cleaning. Your office, Boss, is also cleaned every few days."
Su Xiaotian nodded and walked to the large glass window, reaching out to push it open.
The winter in Licheng was not cold, and the sun was shining brightly today, so Su Xiaotian thought of bringing some fresh air into the office.
Outside the window was a tall lychee tree, its green leaves almost reaching into the window.
Unlike the winter in the north, the lychee tree was lush and green at this time, full of vitality.
Looking at it made one feel refreshed and invigorated.
"This tree is nice!"
Su Xiaotian liked the tree very much. She even reached out from the window to touch a leaf.
"This tree was here when this piece of land was purchased. After the factory's layout plan was finalized, it was discovered that this tree could be preserved, so it was kept!"
Yu Guanghui introduced while having someone bring hot water.
"In a while, it will be the flowering season, and the unique fragrance of lychee blossoms will fill the entire building."
Su Xiaotian said with a smile, a hint of regret in her voice, "It's such a pity that I won't be able to stay until the lychee blossoms bloom!"
Although it was her first time visiting the factory in Licheng, Su Xiaotian liked it very much and was already thinking that perhaps she could stay here for a while after graduating from university.
Yu Guanghui was about to say that since she was here, she should stay longer, but then he remembered that their boss had not yet graduated from university and naturally had to prioritize her studies.
"After you graduate from university, Boss, you can come to Licheng more often. Not only will you be able to see the lychee blossoms bloom then, but you'll also be able to eat the freshest lychees."
"I'm looking forward to that day!"
"The lychees on this lychee tree taste very good," said Su Ciliang lazily from the sofa.
When the factory was being built, Su Ciliang had spent a whole year here.
Su Xiaotian felt that her second brother was clearly showing off by saying this.
Soon, staff members brought hot water and prepared tea for both of them.
"I thought Director Yu in Licheng would prefer to drink coffee."
Yu Guanghui quickly waved his hand with a smile, "I'm not used to the taste."
"There are many merchants from Hong Kong here."
"They really like to discuss business in coffee shops. I went to a coffee shop once to talk business, and it was torture."
Su Ciliang said with a smile, "Coffee is indeed not as comfortable to drink as tea. The taste of us Chinese people is not easily changed."
Su Xiaotian picked up her teacup and took a sip, nodding, "Indeed!"
The three of them sat together and chatted for a while. Most of the time, Yu Guanghui introduced the basic situation of the factory, and Su Xiaotian listened attentively.
Su Ciliang, on the other hand, was either lost in thought or contemplating something else, as he hardly interjected. Su Dan Novel Network
Half an hour later, Su Xiaotian and Yu Guanghui had become somewhat familiar with each other.
Yu Guanghui checked his watch and said, "Boss, I have an appointment with a client at ten-thirty. Would you like to join me?"
"I won't," Su Xiaotian shook her head.
She was not familiar with the situation and thought it best not to interfere with the factory's normal operations rashly.
"Boss, I'll treat you to lunch today at the Licheng Hotel. I can also introduce you to the other leaders of our factory."
After saying this, Yu Guanghui quickly added, "Don't worry, this meal is on me. I won't use the factory's public funds!"
Su Xiaotian couldn't help but chuckle at this, covering her mouth with her hand.
This Director Yu was truly amusing!
