He Haoming was not exceptionally intelligent; he took a taxi to the bus station to escape, but he was caught shortly after. It was truly foolish of him to choose the bus company run by Chen Haoxuan, especially since there are several bus stations in New City.
Chen Haoxuan's bus company is one of the highest-rated in China because the buses are equipped with surveillance cameras. If there is a thief or any incident, the staff at the bus company will be alerted immediately. If a thief is caught stealing on the bus, the company will call the police, who will arrive in no time. Because of this, most thieves are deterred from stealing on buses operated by this company. With no theft and excellent service, many people prefer to travel with Chen Haoxuan's buses.
He Haoming probably did not think this through; he believed that the bus company's speed was an advantage and chose to take their bus to another province. He did not anticipate that Chen Haoxuan would call the bus company and locate him.
After Leah was captured, her family rushed to China, demanding severe punishment for He Haoming.
With He Haoming caught, Chen Haoxuan did not need to worry about him; Leah's family would not let He Haoming go easily.
Chen Haoxuan continued to oversee his business; he was busy today here and tomorrow there, but he enjoyed it as his business thrived. What pleased him most was Su Shiyin, who used his substantial funds to invest in stocks and earned millions of Renminbi. Chen Haoxuan was not just pleased with the profits; he appreciated that she knew how to cultivate her subordinates. She hired dozens of people at a high cost to assist her with stock trading; otherwise, managing everything alone would be overwhelming.
A month later, after reviewing all his businesses, Chen Haoxuan decided to temporarily halt expansion and patiently manage his current operations. Once these businesses were running smoothly, he would consider branching into other industries. Although his current ventures were starting to generate profit, they were still too small in scale. He aimed to maximize his existing businesses before exploring new opportunities.
With subordinates managing operations, Chen Haoxuan only needed to supervise occasionally, sign documents, and make decisions.
With some free time on his hands, Chen Haoxuan planned to help the villagers of Chen Family Village become prosperous. He did not intend for them to work in the city or open factories in their village. Instead, he wanted them to continue farming because farming can also be lucrative if done well.
On June 1st, Chen Haoxuan called all the villagers of Chen Family Village together for a meeting, including children. He asked Chen Xiumin and a few older girls to distribute gifts and candies to the village children while he stood on a makeshift podium addressing the villagers below. He spoke loudly: “Hello everyone! The reason I gathered you here today is twofold: first, I want to give some small gifts to the children of Chen Family Village since today is Children's Day! Second, I want to discuss how we can achieve prosperity together.
I know many of you believe that simply working for my company will lead to wealth, right? Let me tell you that it’s not that simple; it’s very difficult to get rich working for someone else unless you become your own boss or learn a valuable skill. Therefore, I do not plan for you all to work at my company; I do not want you working for me. Instead, I have decided that you should continue farming.”
“Uh... what’s going on? Isn’t this just playing with us? You said you wanted us to become wealthy together but now you’re telling us to keep farming…” The villagers of Chen Family Village began murmuring among themselves.
Chen Haoxuan waved his hand and said loudly, "Everyone, please be quiet."
Once everyone settled down, Chen Haoxuan continued, "Do you all know why I suddenly moved the Clothing Factory to New City? It even caused those merchants who set up stalls in Chen Family Village to leave, making Chen Family Village return to its previous desolation. Do you know the reason behind this?"
"I know," Li Ping stood up and said loudly. "It's because many people in Chen Family Village wanted to get into the Clothing Factory, and when they couldn't, they spoke ill of it. It was them who drove the Clothing Factory away."
Chen Haoxuan nodded and said, "Aunt Ping is absolutely right; the Clothing Factory was driven away by you all, which cut off your chances of entering it. Think about it: I previously encouraged you to learn how to sew clothes on your own, but none of you were willing to learn. Instead, you all thought of various impractical ways to get into the Clothing Factory. To put it bluntly, you wanted to enter the Clothing Factory not to work but to have me, Chen Haoxuan, support you.
To avoid hindering the production of the Clothing Factory, I had no choice but to move it to New City. Look at those who were willing to learn; each of them now earns several thousand a month, equivalent to a white-collar worker's salary. When I asked you to buy sewing machines and learn how to sew clothes, many bought them, but after a while, they were unwilling to continue learning. I remember only two women persevered through the training; they were later hired by the Clothing Factory. Because of their diligence in learning and working hard there, they have already become team leaders, managing over ten people each and earning five or six thousand a month, plus year-end bonuses. This is the reward that comes from hard work.
I tell you all this not for any other reason but so that you don’t drive me away again like last time. I want you all to do well; those who believe in me should follow my lead, and those who don’t believe are not forced. Now I ask everyone: Do you believe in me?"
"Yes!" The villagers of Chen Family Village shouted loudly; they had already lost one opportunity and could not afford to lose another.
"That's good! Now let me tell you how I plan for you all to become wealthy. You all know about the river in our village, right? The land by the river is unowned land; actually, it shouldn’t be considered unowned as it belongs to us in Chen Family Village. I have checked it out and found that we can plant a large number of bamboo along the riverbank. There are many benefits to planting bamboo: first, it prevents soil erosion caused by water. Second, it can green both sides of the river and make this part of our village more beautiful. Third, bamboo can bring us considerable income every year; the profits from selling bamboo planted along the river will be distributed among everyone at the end of each year. This money will be distributed by Chen Yuebin to each household while the Village Committee supervises it. Do you think this is acceptable?" Chen Haoxuan said loudly.
It wasn't that Chen Haoxuan didn't want to give money directly to the Village Committee; rather, those people were too greedy—calling them vampires wouldn't be an exaggeration—so he decided to distribute the money directly to the villagers.
