Chapter 522 One part truth, one part sincerity
Taiji's face darkened. Why was Hu Zhiang still haunting him? Mainly because Hua Yan had been incredibly kind to him; she'd given him a car last time, and this time she'd taken him abroad.
Ugh! I'm feeling a bit down.
Hua Yan was so happy that she thought about introducing Hu Zhiang to An Xin as soon as possible, so that she could lighten her burden.
Haha! Give others the opportunities they can, otherwise they'll all be piled on her small frame, and she'll probably be too busy to even catch her breath.
"Yan'er, is this Hu Zhi'ang reliable?"
Taiji wanted to hear Huayan's opinion of the kid. He had wanted to ask her last time, but considering that the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, it would be a bit of a mood killer to keep discussing other people's business. So he didn't bring it up. But now he couldn't. He had a deep sense of crisis.
"Reliable, don't worry!"
Hua Yan was thinking about what to buy at the courtyard house and didn't notice Taiji's expression. If she had observed him more closely, she would have known that Taiji took this matter very seriously.
"How did you know each other?"
“Brother Taiji, do you still remember Hu Xintu from my past life? That’s him. In this life, I met him earlier, and he also found his parents, which changed the course of his life.”
Without the life experience from his previous life, I don't know if he can take on the task I'm about to entrust to him.
Last time I went to Country A, I wanted to introduce Uncle Liang and Uncle Xin to him, but Uncle Xin wasn't there.
If possible, he should lead both Uncle Liang and Uncle Xin from now on. In his past life, he was uneducated, but through his hard work, he managed to do such a good job in our security work. I believe he will bring me even more surprises in this life.
I trust him so much because he endured so much suffering in his past life, yet he still managed to stay true to his original aspirations. I believe he will be even more outstanding in this life.
Hua Yan analyzed the situation logically, her face full of confidence.
"Yan'er, is he really Hu Xintu?"
"Yes! It really is. It's just that in this life, he was abducted and then found by his parents."
Haha! It was only because I helped catch the human trafficker that his parents were able to find him.
To thank me, his father, Uncle Hu Xiang, specifically asked the police who solved the case for my contact information. Uncle Hu called Shengjing, and when my father told him I was in Kyoto, he went directly to my place, and that's how I met Hutu Ge.
The muddle-headed guy is much more cheerful than in his previous life, and he's unusually kind to me. Perhaps he knows that it was because of me that he finally found his long-awaited parents, and his gratitude is mostly there, which is why he's willing to be close to me.
Hua Yan had considered that Hu Zhiang, like Taiji, was experiencing a kind of memory recovery, but without final confirmation, she could only pretend not to know, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain her situation to Hu Zhiang.
Taiji never expected his guess to come true. He didn't want it to be like this, but reality was just like that, shattering his self-deceiving fantasy.
However, don't be discouraged. It doesn't matter who else likes Yan'er, because in Yan'er's heart there is only him. It was like this in the past life, and it will be the same in this life.
Such an important matter as rebirth was something Yan'er only told him about; no one else knew. Not even her father, Hua Jingxing, whom she valued highly, knew. Therefore, no one could surpass his position in her heart.
After comforting himself, Taiji felt less down and regained his fighting spirit.
"Hehe! I didn't expect that he and Uncle Miao would appear in your life so early. I guess that's a kind of luck!"
Taiji knew how important Hu Zhiang and Miao Xianxing were to Huayan. In their past life, these two people, one a scholar and the other a warrior, helped her career flourish.
"Yes! I got Uncle Miao myself, but Brother Hutu was a pleasant surprise."
Hua Yan went to great lengths to gain Miao Xianxing's trust. Even after Miao Xianxing recognized her, she didn't dare to let her guard down.
It's quite possible that Hu Zhi'ang recognized Hua Yan, since every wooden sculpture he carved depicted her as she was from a past life. However, Hu Zhi'ang didn't utter a single familiar phrase, perhaps fearing that such superstitious talk would frighten her.
Sigh! Although both of them had their doubts, neither of them dared to break the ice easily because they cared about each other.
Taiji patted Huayan's head and didn't continue the topic.
-
I heard that Hua Yan has returned, and her study has been constantly occupied, leaving Taiji nowhere to stay.
First, Liu Quan told Hua Yan about the major and minor events in Kyoto. The company is growing larger and the number of employees is increasing. Hua Yan had previously mentioned that they not only needed to solve the employment problems of the native residents of Kyoto, but also, as far as possible, the employment problems of the families of retired military personnel.
Hua Yan had Miao build apartment buildings next to several factories, so anyone working there could apply for housing. Although it was only the right to use the buildings, during a time of housing shortages, very few factories offered this benefit. Therefore, every time Hua Yan and her team recruited workers, the number of applicants was overwhelming.
Although state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises were still valued at the time, and people were still reluctant to accept private enterprises, it was still a fatal attraction for those who were unemployed, especially since housing was provided.
Since Hua Yan took over the television factory in Kyoto, the employees who originally had a lot of opinions about the practice of private companies taking a stake in their state-owned enterprises now feel lucky.
Because the houses they've longed for their whole lives are no longer a big problem here. Those who used to slack off are now either fired or working diligently; the situation where no matter how much you work, it doesn't matter anymore is gone.
Everyone's work enthusiasm has been mobilized because the factory now implements a system of more pay for more work. The more you do, the more you earn, so who has time to slack off?
It is this kind of treatment that makes many employees want to recommend their family members or relatives to work here.
Hua Yan adopted the same strategy as before: the principle of collective responsibility. If anyone you introduced has a problem, you are held fully accountable. If they perform poorly and are dismissed, then sorry, you'll be fired too.
So although everyone was eager to try, the people introduced were all carefully selected, for fear of getting implicated if something went wrong.
Now, Huayan's company has gained a reputation in Kyoto and has become the first choice for many people seeking employment.
Mayor Zhang Fan spoke with Miao Xianxing several times, and his meaning was very clear: the Kyoto Municipal Government would support the development of enterprises.
Even Hai Yitian and Liang Dong were summoned by Mayor Zhang Fan, who inquired in detail about the company's development.
Liu Quan, as the head steward, and Kong Wen, as the spokesperson for Huayan, would attend these meetings every time, so they knew the details quite well.
"Jiu'er, now that there are more and more employees, the existing buildings are not enough. Boss Miao wants to build a few more."
“Sure! Next to our factory, we’ll apply to the government for some more land. Any employee who has worked for our company for ten years or more will own this house.”
Hua Yan thought about it and realized that ten years from now, when faced with a wave of layoffs, these employees would cherish their jobs even more than they do now.
“Jiu’er, Boss Miao told me that you definitely wouldn’t object to building the houses, but he certainly didn’t expect that you would give the houses to the employees.”
Liu Quan was amazed by Hua Yan's vision.
Housing has always been a major issue for ordinary Chinese people, yet Hua Yan solved it so easily.
Sigh! A person's vision and perspective really have nothing to do with age; he simply couldn't reach that level. Liu Quan mentally gave Hua Yan a thumbs up.
Haha! Uncle Quan, you're overthinking it. Without life experience, who could have such courage?
"Uncle Quan, as long as they sincerely contribute to the company, I will make sure their efforts are rewarded. If others treat me with sincerity, I will treat them with ten times more sincerity."
Hua Yan knew that most people understood the principle of gratitude and were willing to do so.
As for whether there will be people who are grateful for a small favor but resentful for a large one, yes, there will definitely be. But we cannot ignore those who repay even the smallest kindness with boundless gratitude just because such people exist.
"Okay! I thank you on behalf of everyone."
Liu Quan was happy for the factory workers, and even more grateful for his own good fortune.
Who would have thought that after sacrificing their lives for the country, they would end up as factory workers or low-ranking officials with little real power, even being bossed around by others?
Thinking back to those unbearable days, he was grateful to Commander Liu Heming for lighting a torch of hope and illuminating the path forward on their dark journey.
