Chapter 3127 The Thriving Tea Factory

Everyone had handed in their essays, and Robin thought that everything was fine once he did, so he actually wanted to watch cartoons on TV.

Zhang Tan told her to wait a little longer and take a look at everyone's essays first.

He had already read Robin's essay. To put it simply, it wasn't even 50 words long, let alone 500, and much of it was just scribbles; he had no idea what it was about.

Fortunately, people didn't have high expectations of her; they were happy as long as she participated and the main goal was to create a lively atmosphere.

Teacher Jiang was reviewing everyone's essays. She first looked at Xi'er's, praised her, and said that it was very well written and showed her own feelings.

After looking at Dunzi's work, I said it was also well-written and reflected his own feelings.

Then, looking at Xiaobai's work, after only a couple of glances, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiaobai, is this your original work?"

noob:"……"

How could they question her plagiarism?

"I wrote it myself, didn't you all see it!"

Teacher Jiang probably thought it was inappropriate to doubt Xiaobai like that, so she said tactfully, "But why do your words sound so much like song lyrics?"

Xi'er and Robin immediately went over to look. Robin looked but found nothing, because he couldn't read, and only thought that his aunt had written a lot.

Xi'er knew how to read, and she read aloud: "In the morning we went to see the sunrise. It was still dark, but we were full of energy. The little birds led the way, and the wind blew us. We came to the garden, and then to the grass..."

As Xi'er recited it, she began to sing it.

Well, now look what happened. They said it wasn't lyrics, but Xiwawa sang it out loud.

Zhang sighed and asked, "Still saying it's not lyrics?"

Xiao Bai chuckled and said, "Old man, I really didn't know it was lyrics when I wrote it. I was wondering why it sounded so familiar, and I just wrote it down in one breath. Turns out it's a song! It's just a coincidence! Grandma, you have to believe me!"

Teacher Jiang was both amused and exasperated: "Okay, I believe you, but don't copy song lyrics next time."

"It's about writing lyrics, not plagiarism."

"In short, I can't write lyrics anymore."

"I'm not writing anymore, I'm not writing anymore, if I write any more I'll be a puppy."

The night was quiet, as if it were already late at night, but it was actually only 9:30 p.m. In Pujiang at this time of day, Little Red Horse was bustling with activity.

After Dunzi's family left, Zhang Tan and the others sat around the stove in the living room, chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

Zhang Tan went to Xiao Baixi'er and Robin's room. He had been invited to tell them a bedtime story that night.

But after hearing a story, everyone became even more interested in the mountains and forests surrounding Baijia Village and began asking some strange and unusual questions.

"Uncle, are there wolves in the mountains?" Robin asked.

Zhang Tan said, "There should be some further in. The village chief said they heard wolf howls coming from deep in the mountains, but there are no wolves in the outer mountains. As long as they have enough food, they won't come near human villages."

When everyone heard that there really were wolves in the mountains, their expressions became serious. Xiaobai was worried about what would happen if Dunzi and the others encountered wolves while herding cattle in the mountains.

Robin said, "Dunzi runs fast; even wolves can't catch him."

Xi'er said, "But it will catch up with Dunzi's cow."

Robin said, "Niu Niu is strong and not afraid of wolves."

Xi'er asked Zhang Tan, "Godfather, are there tigers in the mountains?"

Zhang sighed, "No, we don't have that."

Xiao Bai said, "There are giant pandas in the mountains. We've caught them before."

Once, a giant panda wandered into their backyard and was discovered by Xiaobaixi and the others, who were excited for a long time.

"Why can't we see giant pandas anymore?" Xiaobai said with a hint of regret.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Tan saw that it was already ten o'clock, so he took the initiative to end the conversation, told them to go to bed early, turned off the lights and closed the door, and went back to his room.

The next day, Zhang Tan was going to inspect the tea factory. When Xiao Bai and the others finished washing up and came to the yard, they were surprised to find a huge blue pickup truck parked there.

The three men circled the pickup truck, and Robin looked only as tall as the truck's tires.

“This is our family’s car!” Xiaobai remembered. It was the car her father bought, but he only drove it a few times. Because they were going back to Pujiang, the car was left at the tea factory for maintenance.

The tea factory was to be visited in the morning. The factory staff brought their car over early in the morning, but since Zhang Tan wanted to drive himself, the driver left first.

After breakfast, Dunzi arrived. Everyone got into the car. The Raptor pickup truck was a four-seater. Xiaobai sat in the front passenger seat, while Dunzi and Xier Robin sat in the back, squeezing together.

Xiao Bai asked Old Zhang if Bai Guagua could sit in the back of the cart, but Zhang Tan naturally disagreed, so Bai Guagua had to be left out.

The road from Baijia Village to the tea factory had been repaired long ago; it was a cement road and easy to travel, taking only fifteen minutes. The tea factory gates were wide open, and the senior executives who hadn't yet taken their holidays came out to greet us.

"Mr. Zhang, welcome back." Leading the group was the factory manager appointed by Zhang Tan, with the finance manager beside him.

After getting off the bus, Zhang Tan shook hands and exchanged greetings with everyone. He was usually not here, so he had left all the work to them, and they had done a very good job.

"Mr. Zhang, how about we take a tour of the factory first, inspect the work, and boost everyone's morale, before heading to the conference room to hear a work report? What do you think?"

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I'll follow your arrangements."

The factory manager smiled and said, "Then let's go take a look inside the factory first, and then take a stroll in the tea garden. The air is fresh and very comfortable."

Compared to when I left last time, the tea factory has added a lot of equipment. If it used to be more like a township enterprise, it now has the feel of a large professional factory. Although the staff are given priority in hiring people from the surrounding villages, the prerequisite is that they must be promoted to a position, especially core positions such as management, technical, and sales positions. Most of them have a bachelor's degree or above.

Zhang Tan mostly saw young faces. According to the factory manager, many of these young people were college graduates from nearby villages who had been hired by the tea factory.

Besides the young faces, there were also older faces, especially several white-haired experts who were hired by Zhang Tan at high salaries as technical consultants. They didn't need to work at the tea factory normally, but could come when needed.

After taking a tour of the factory and meeting many new faces, everyone boarded an electric sightseeing vehicle and began touring the tea garden.

It's 9:30 a.m. The weather is nice today, sunny and bright. The sightseeing bus shuttles along the tree-lined path, and the surrounding tea plantations are a feast for the eyes, showing no signs of winter.

The factory manager introduced the tea trees with a hint of pride, many of which were new varieties introduced at high prices. In addition to "Taibai Xiuya", the tea factory has developed two other new teas this year, which are currently selling very well in the market.

The three of them marveled at the seemingly endless tea garden. "This is our own tea garden! It's so big!"

It took more than half an hour to visit the tea plantation, and that was on a shortened, highlight route.

After touring the tea plantation, everyone returned to the meeting room. The meeting room was decorated with a warm atmosphere, with fresh flowers, various kinds of fruits and snacks on the table, and staff members brewing cups of hot tea.

When Zhang Tan and the others walked in, a group of people, all of whom were senior executives of the company, were already sitting in the conference room.

Xiaobai and Xier were taken away by the staff; they will not attend the briefing.

Zhang Tan walked into the conference room first, and enthusiastic applause immediately rang out.
