Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Xiao Li Arrives

When Ji Yang received the call, he was somewhat surprised that Xiao Li had actually come.

As for the girl working on new batteries, Ji Yang had a favorable impression of her. She didn’t rely on her family background and had started her own business with some friends, and it seemed she was succeeding.

Soon, Ji Yang met with Xiao Li and her group.

Xiao Li’s group was not small; they drove in several cars. Apart from her crew from the battery factory, there were also a few young people.

"Brother Ji, I thought you had forgotten about me."

"How could I forget you of all people?"

Xiao Li was very happy and said, "Ever since you transferred here, I’ve been wanting to visit, but I’ve been so busy."

"How’s the battery sales going?"

"Everything’s pretty good, the sales too."

He guided everyone into a restaurant, and after everyone was seated, the dishes were served.

Xiao Li smiled and said, "Let me introduce them. These are my classmates and friends; they all wanted to come and see."

"Welcome, everyone."

One of the girls laughed and said, "Xiao Li told us when she was in her most difficult times, there was a leader who helped her. I thought it was an old man, but turns out he’s a handsome guy."

Another girl also laughed and said, "Our Xiao Li has been constantly mentioning your name. Now I see why, it’s because you’re handsome!"

"What are you talking about?"

At this, Xiao Li’s face reddened instantly.

Seeing the young people laughing and joking, Ji Yang also smiled and said, "The conditions here are a bit tough, please forgive any poor reception."

Xiao Li said, "I heard that you’re planning to develop Xincheng, so I came to see if I could help."

"You know about that?"

"Our Xiao Li really keeps herself updated about what’s happening here."

After more laughter, Ji Yang explained the entire plan and then said, "You all are elite personnel, just perfect. I have a difficult problem, and I need your opinions."

"Brother, you just say it. We might not have other skills, but spouting some opinions we can manage," a young man said with a laugh.

Ji Yang said, "The most critical issue in my entire plan is how to attract people to stay. I’m worried it will turn into a ghost town."

Everyone nodded silently, thinking about the consequences of that issue.

Xiao Li said, "Brother, the problem you mentioned is indeed important. If people can’t see the development potential there, it will indeed be hard to develop. However, if your county government moves there, even without any unique features, retaining people might not be such a big issue."

A girl named Meijuan said, "What Brother Ji is aiming for is uniqueness. Actually, looking at the transport and other aspects, everything’s very convenient there. Xiao Li, why not move the factory there?"

Everyone’s eyes turned to Xiao Li.

Ji Yang quickly said, "If things are convenient where you are now, there’s no need to consider moving."

Naturally, Ji Yang didn’t want Xiao Li to think about moving the factory just to help him.

Xiao Li also saw what Ji Yang was thinking and said, "Brother, actually, we’ve been thinking about relocating."

"What’s going on?"

Ji Yang looked puzzled, thinking that the local government should be supporting Xiao Li’s business.

Xiao Li smiled and replied, "Let’s eat now; I’ll report to you about it after the meal."

Everyone laughed again.

After the meal, Ji Yang organized the accommodation for everyone before going to Xiao Li’s room.

Once they were seated, Xiao Li smiled and said, "My major shareholder, now I have to report to you about the factory’s situation."

Ji Yang also smiled and said, "You decide on the factory matters."

"You invested twenty million under the name of Chen Yongsong; now you own forty percent of the company’s shares. You must know the company’s business situation."

"I’ve said it; you decide."

Ji Yang had always not worried about the company’s affairs, as Xiao Li had handled all the procedures.

"This is the agreement on share division; keep it safe. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to continue with the factory."

"Your family would have helped too, it would have been fine without me."

Xiao Li’s expression darkened as she said, "You probably guessed some of it. Our Xiao Family in Capital City is quite significant, but the internal family strife is intense too. My parents died in an accident, and it’s only because my grandfather looks after me that I can access some family resources. However, I know my own situation. If one day my grandfather isn’t there, I’ll lose my family’s support. That’s why I don’t rely on my family’s power and chose to start my own business. Only earnings from this are truly mine. The family didn’t want to support me, and I didn’t want to bother my grandfather, so the business was in such a situation. If you hadn’t reached out to help, I don’t know what would have happened."

So, it was indeed another case of family strife!

Ji Yang looked at the girl, filled with sympathy.
