Chapter 418 - 418 418 Not What I Expected

418: Chapter 418: Not What I Expected 418: Chapter 418: Not What I Expected During the subsequent tour, Zhao Guang acted just like an ordinary person, barely speaking at all.

After the visit, it seemed better to go home and continue working on his own affairs.

The others didn’t pay much attention to this; in fact, even they generally stayed out of the day-to-day business, leaving it to their subordinates.

They, themselves, merely made a show of activity in public, which was essentially meaningless.

While Zhao Guang resided in Beijing, a team from his home province finally arrived back home.

Because they had something to look forward to, the people from his province didn’t want to spend too much time resting at home during the New Year.

They wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to work more and earn extra to support their families.

They believed that by doing more now, their lives would improve in the future.

As a result, since these people took the initiative to start work, Liu Jiayin had to commence operations ahead of schedule.

Then, a group of people crossed the province to Zhao Guang’s hometown, where the local managers came in person to meet them right away.

Soon, a large area was designated for pig farming.

“This time we’re not just going to focus on livestock farming, but also a tourism project, so the development needs to be integrated.”

“No problem, our area may not have much else, but there are plenty of mountains and the natural scenery is very nice.”

“This is something we’ll need to confirm after an inspection.

I will send people out to survey the area starting tomorrow.

We will need to further consider the specific investment plans.”

“That would be great.

I guarantee we’ll offer you the best conditions.”

The local leadership team was truly delighted; their remote and impoverished region was finally going to be developed.

This investment alone was worth at least ten billion, not to mention the follow-up investments.

They needed to take good care of these people.

What was most important wasn’t the amount of the investment; it was those five pigs.

Those creatures were where the real value lay.

As long as things were handled well, simply coming to see the pigs could draw a sizable crowd.

After all, if people couldn’t afford to eat pork, looking wouldn’t hurt, and many likely thought this way.

With the five pigs as a draw, they could already envision the continuous flow of investors that would follow.

No sooner had the negotiators walked out than someone approached quietly and said, “There’s a disturbance at the factory site.”

“A disturbance?

I understand.

Let’s go have a look.”

“Do you need any help from us?” the leaders promptly asked.

They couldn’t let a few individuals ruin the big plans.

Anyone daring to interfere must not be tolerated.

“It’s nothing too serious; it’s pretty much what I expected.

I’ll go have a look first.

If there’s anything we can’t resolve, we will certainly notify you.”

“Please rest assured, we will cooperate fully when the time comes.”

Watching these people leave, the leaders’ eyes gleamed with reluctance.

Before long, Hu Yan arrived at the scene of the incident.

Hu Yan was Liu Jiayin’s right-hand man, and he had been transferred here for the development of Zhao Guang’s hometown, which could potentially become a key area of development.

After all, if Liu Jiayin’s own hometown prospered, he certainly wouldn’t forget about Zhao Guang’s, right?

Although the situation in the two places differed and this area was smaller, nobody dared to overlook it.

“What’s going on here?

Who are you, and why are you causing trouble?”

“I’m not causing trouble; I just want to know why you won’t hire me.

What disqualifies me?”

“President Hu, this man wanted to apply for a position in animal husbandry, but he doesn’t understand anything about it, nor can he operate machines.

Even basic tasks are beyond him.”

Hu Yan understood and then looked at the man causing the commotion, “You’ve heard, we need people with professional knowledge, and you don’t have any.

So what exactly are you here for?”

“What professional knowledge?

Isn’t it just raising pigs?

Since when did raising pigs require operating machines?”

“Didn’t you explain it to him?” Hu Yan first looked at his subordinate.

“We explained it very clearly.

There are even promotional posters here that should make it clear.”

Hu Yan glanced at the promotional posters nearby, which were indeed very detailed, so this person might be just as he suspected.

“Sorry, we need professionals.

If you don’t have the relevant expertise, we can’t afford to employ you.” His company, after all, was a private enterprise.

Even though it was valued by the state, it was entirely different from a state-owned enterprise.

“But I’m Zhao Guang’s cousin.

Why won’t you let me in?”

As expected, that was the reason he had come here—to prevent exactly this sort of situation.

It was okay to seek connections, but trying to succeed by nepotism and harm the company was not acceptable.

Besides, who knew if these people had ulterior motives?

It was likely they all did, given the timing of their appearance.

“Even so, it won’t work, because you don’t meet our criteria.

Besides, are you a relative of our factory manager?”

“Who is your factory manager?

Isn’t it enough that I’m related to your boss?”

“Of course not.

Our factory manager is Liu Jiayin, and he personally handles all affairs of our farm.

As for the Chairman Zhao you mentioned, he isn’t an executive director and doesn’t get involved in these matters.”

“What’s all this about directors?

I just want to know why you won’t let me in.”

“Of course, it’s because you’re not capable enough.

If you keep making trouble, we will have to call the police.”

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell my cousin and have him fire you?” The man seemed to take too much for granted.

If the company casually dismissed talented individuals, it wouldn’t be as successful as it was.

Growth to a certain scale in business isn’t possible with just money.

However, these barely educated people obviously didn’t understand that.

“Then you go and tell him.

I will comply with all the company’s decisions.”

Hu Yan casually said to those around him, “Our company has strict employment regulations.

If you wish to join our company, please follow the procedures and pass the tests.”

After saying this, Hu Yan turned and left, leaving the man wanting to speak but being stopped by others.

As for calling to complain, who was he?

He might claim to be a cousin, but in reality, there wasn’t a close bond—he was just a pawn others used to test Zhao Guang’s stance.

Turns out, Zhao Guang didn’t care about the company’s matters at all; family connections proved useless.

Now, not just Zhao Guang was unavailable, his whole family was absent.

To whom could he turn?

Making trouble was futile.

He had thought they finally made Zhao Guang compromise by setting up pig farming in this place, but it turned out not to be what he expected.

Even if pigs were raised here, how could he get the five pigs if he couldn’t get in?

If he couldn’t get the five pigs, how would he get rich?
