Chapter 1243 Reunion
Just now, she could vaguely see through people's bodies and discovered that Zhang Xiufang had a white spot on her abdomen... and it was inside her uterus, and she could even feel the new life inside.
In nine months, there might be another child in the family. Zhang Xiufang, who always thought she couldn't have children, might become a mother again.
Zhang Xiufang nodded, "Hu Jian is really good. I always thought that second marriages would have all sorts of problems, but he told me that as long as our little family is happy, I don't need to worry about anything else. Today his parents started causing trouble again, so he didn't let me go."
Liu Meilan smiled, "As long as the man is good, nothing else matters. Especially since Hu Jian has already had one marriage ruined by his parents. This time, he cherishes it all the more. He'll shield him from all the storms!"
Zhang Xiufang smiled, "Yes, I feel very happy now. Chongyang has good grades and is smart. The hardships he experienced in his childhood didn't have a big negative impact; on the contrary, they made him cherish the hard-won good life he has. Xiaoli is now being loved and educated by me and her mother, and she will not be bad in the future. My job is also very stable, and my abilities are also improving. For me, this is like living in paradise."
Seeing the people around her happy made Liu Meilan especially happy.
After staying at home for two days, Liu Meilan continued her inspection of the pearl farming base. The pink and blue pearls she brought back amazed her, and she looked forward to venturing into the deep sea to see if she could make any more surprising discoveries.
This is our own farm, and the managers here are all employees.
This time, Liu Meilan didn't take a yacht because it's safer to go to the deep sea on a large ship.
Of course, for Liu Meilan, big boat or small boat, it didn't really matter, but Grandpa Liu insisted on the invitation.
"Meilan, nothing is more important than your safety," Grandpa Liu said in a deep voice. "The places we're going to this time are quite far, some even in the deep sea. Listen to your grandfather, don't be reckless."
Professor Xie quickly chimed in, "Yes, Meilan, your grandfather is right."
Seeing this, Liu Meilan said, "Great! The fishing boats are about to set sail. I'll go out with one of the big fishing boats."
Professor Xie reminded her, "By the way, this is your first time visiting as the boss, so it's best to bring gifts for all the employees, things they need. Of course, you should also give them bonuses. The bonuses should be deposited into their bank accounts as part of their salaries."
As a company leader, you can't just go for nothing. You have to give the employees some benefits to boost morale. Otherwise, who would want to host a leader?
Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes! They like to drink at sea. We'll send some cigarettes and alcohol over then!"
“Okay, it’s lonely on the island. Cigarettes and alcohol are indeed good things, but you have to be careful not to let drinking affect your work.” Professor Xie reminded, “You must be polite to your employees and be attentive. Don’t think that just because you’re the boss and you’re paying people, you can disrespect them.”
Liu Meilan was both amused and exasperated. "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of arrogant person. Managing a company can't rely on discipline alone; it also depends on winning people's hearts."
Mr. Liu wholeheartedly agreed, “Yes, there are two different states: employees who are dedicated and those who are not.”
And so, carrying her family's words of advice, Liu Meilan, along with many gifts, sailed her own fishing boat to inspect various aquaculture bases.
When Sister Chen saw Liu Meilan on the boat, her eyes lit up with joy. "Meilan, it's been so long since we went out to sea together. I've missed you so much!"
Liu Meilan smiled and hugged Sister Chen, "I miss it too. I really miss going out to sea with everyone."
Xu Kaifa, Sister Tang, Sister Zhang, and Second Aunt are still on this ship. Wu Yong and Zhou Ze are now captains, in charge of other ships.
Seeing familiar faces made Liu Meilan feel very warm and fuzzy.
Everyone came over to greet Liu Meilan and thank her for giving them such high-paying jobs.
Liu Meilan said with a smile, "This time, everyone's route will be based on the plan I made during my inspection of the pearl farms. If we catch less fish, I will make up for it with a commission for everyone."
Sister Chen laughed, "Meilan, don't be modest. With you on the boat, we'll catch even more fish, definitely not less."
The fishing ban has just ended, and now is the peak season. They are confident in themselves, and even more confident in Liu Meilan.
"Thank you all for your trust!" Liu Meilan cupped her hands in thanks. She got pregnant not long after getting married, then gave birth and raised her child. Although it had been four years since her last voyage, it felt like just yesterday to her.
Actually, things haven't remained unchanged. Their fishing boats are bigger, and the crew members are a bit tanned and older. After all, being out at sea exposed to the wind and sun makes it impossible to have delicate skin. But everyone's wallets are fuller, the numbers in their bank accounts are bigger, and they've become more confident.
After half a day, they arrived at the first aquaculture site. Liu Meilan lowered a motorboat from the large fishing boat to deliver the gifts for the island, and told the fishing boat to continue its work on the jade, promising to come back to pick her up in two hours.
When Captain Xu saw Liu Meilan and her bodyguards arrive, he led his men out to greet them, saying, "President Liu, welcome to our inspection."
While helping to move things, Liu Meilan said, "Everyone has worked hard for a year. It's almost harvest time, so I came to check on you! I also wanted to give you all some gifts and bonuses. Of course, I've already had the finance department put the bonuses into your accounts. I also brought some cigarettes, alcohol, and some food and supplies. But we've agreed that drinking will lead to mistakes. You can have a drink after work to relax, but absolutely no drinking while on duty."
When Captain Xu saw the Moutai that Liu Meilan had brought over, he kept swallowing hard. "President Liu, these are all good cigarettes and liquor! I thank you on behalf of everyone. I'll keep an eye on the drinking. Anyone who breaks the rules will be fired after three offenses."
Liu Meilan nodded, "Okay! I'll go collect the pearl oysters first, let's get down to business, we'll eat here later. Captain Xu, two bottles each. They're all gift sets, make sure everyone gets their hands on them, no one can take more than their share."
Captain Xu assured, "Don't worry, Mr. Liu!"
Now that the company has a complaint mailbox, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Although this job doesn't allow them to go home often, it offers seven days off every two weeks, high pay, and not much work. They are all extremely satisfied with finding such a job.
In my spare time, I can go fishing. I'm so tired of eating seafood!
They caught a lot of fish, which they used to make dried fish and dried shrimp to take home, and their families loved them.
Wearing a diving suit, Liu Meilan descended to the seabed, about twenty meters deep. There were many pearl oysters at the bottom. She selected twenty pearl oysters from different places, and then selected thirty large pearl oysters from the three-dimensional aquaculture rack before surfacing.
Before the food was even ready, Liu Meilan opened a pearl oyster. The others gathered around and looked at the pearls inside.
When Liu Meilan gently cut open the pearl oyster with a knife, a jet-black pearl was revealed. A top-quality black pearl!
