Shi Xiaohui got into Zeng Wenhui’s car, but she looked embarrassed. She was reserved and excited. She sat in the car and did not dare to move, let alone touch the car.
She was a girl who had never even taken a taxi before. Now, she was sitting in a sports car worth millions. In the past, she had never even thought about it.
Zeng Meili smiled and said to Shi Xiaohui, “Don’t be nervous. We’re all Gu Qingming’s friends.”
Shi Xiaohui blushed and stammered, “I… I’m… not… nervous!” As soon as she finished speaking, she wished there was a crack in the ground that she could crawl into.
“Pfft!” Zeng Changhui could not help but laugh. “Miss, you’re so cute!”
Shi Xiaohui’s face turned even redder.
Fortunately, it was only a minute or two from the village entrance to the Qingkang Company.
When they reached the entrance of the company, the cars stopped.
A group of people walked out of the car and looked up at the company.
Yin Wenbin frowned slightly and said, “This is the company Gu Qingming founded in the countryside. How can it be so small?” It was completely different from what he had imagined.
Zeng Meili smiled and said, “Gu Qingming has just started her business here. In the future, it will definitely become bigger and bigger.” Just based on the things she planted and the beauty effect, it could make the company do better.
Mei Zhilin looked at Shi Xiaohui and asked, “Miss Shi, can we go in?”
Shi Xiaohui nodded and said, “Sure. The parking lot is next to the company.”
Shi Xiaohui pointed at the parking lot next to the company.
The ladies in the car got out, and the three men drove the car to the parking lot.
Then, a group of people walked into the parking lot!
In the eyes of the villagers, this villa-shaped company was very high-end and luxurious. Working here was more comfortable than at home.
However, in the eyes of these men and women, this office building was really too simple and crude.
Xu Wencai looked around and asked, “This office building is so small. How many employees are working here?”
“Twelve!” Shi Xiaohui, who had heard them say that the company was small, immediately retorted, “Our company is not small. Other than these twelve employees, our company also has many part-timers in the village. There are at least 20 to 30 of them, and up to 100 of them during peak periods.”
Zeng Meili asked curiously, “What part-time job?”
“It’s to harvest things in the fields,” Shi Xiaohui explained. “Our company is an agricultural company. We only need more manpower when we’re busy with farming. Therefore, the villagers usually do their own work at home. When the company is busy, they come over to work.”
Mei Zhilin also asked curiously, “Farm help? What is farm help?”
As a child who grew up in the city, she did not know what farming was.
Shi Xiaohui explained, “We need farm help during the busiest time in the countryside.”
“When is the busiest time in the countryside?” Zeng Meili asked.
“Yes, we’re usually busy with farming around the Qingming Festival, until May or June.”
“Why?”
Shi Xiaohui was speechless. Where did these gods come from? They knew nothing about farming.
Shi Xiaohui explained, “Before and after the Qingming Festival, crops are planted. In May and June, it’s usually the harvesting season for crops. Whether it’s planting or harvesting, it takes a lot of work, and it’s a competition with the heavens for time.”
“Ha, competing with the heavens for time? What do you mean by that?”
“For example, when harvesting rice, you have to find a time with good weather. After harvesting it, you have to guard it and dry it.”
“Why?”
“It’s June and the weather changes easily! You’re drying rice one moment. But y ou have to put it away when you see that the weather is not right..”
