Chapter 160 Year-End Inspection
"Mr. Zhao, you truly are a genius! Look, after your revisions, the lines have become even more interesting and hilarious! And this was an idea you just came up with on the spur of the moment, wasn't it?"
Hearing Huo Yunfeng's praise, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile smugly, nodding in agreement:
"Yes, that's right, it's what I just had a sudden inspiration for."
Seeing this, Huo Yunfeng couldn't stop smiling and praised him repeatedly:
"Haha, great, great! I'll give you a detailed rehearsal schedule later. You can check it against the schedule and see how to cleverly integrate the advertisement into the performance. We have two more rehearsals later, and we'll see how the final result is then. If it goes well, then this will be a great success!"
Zhao Yuan nodded quickly, indicating that he would do his best to do this well. He responded excitedly:
"Alright, Director Huo, don't worry! I will definitely put in my best effort and take this mission very seriously!"
"Hmm, go back and think about it carefully."
Huo Yunfeng said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you, Master Huo! You're too kind. We're so sorry to have troubled you this time. We'll take our leave now."
Zhao Yuan said with a big smile, and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands tightly with Director Huo.
Then, he politely nodded to Mu Jun beside him, said hello, and then turned and slowly left the TV station.
Zhao Yuan personally drove Mu Bin safely back to "Zhao's Kitchen".
Watching Mu Bin walk into the store, he waved goodbye, then got back into his car, started the engine, and drove home.
Throughout the journey, he pondered how to perfectly and cleverly integrate his company's advertisement into the upcoming program.
Time flies, and the end of the year is fast approaching.
At this time, the head office, located far away, was waiting for Zhao Yuan to return to participate in the annual year-end inspection.
However, this year is different, as Zhao Yuan needs to stay in Beijing and devote himself to the advertising work for the Spring Festival Gala.
After all, this mission was of great significance to him, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
After careful consideration, Zhao Yuan decided to arrange for his capable assistants Zhong Weijie and Zhong Weibin to return to Jinyang County to handle the year-end audits of various companies and the convening of year-end meetings, etc.
Upon receiving the assignment, Zhong Weijie and Zhong Weibin did not dare to delay. They quickly led three experienced and highly professional auditors and rushed back to Jinyang County according to the itinerary carefully planned by Zhao Yuan.
After the group returned to Jinyang County, they immediately split into five groups and began their year-end inspections of pig farms and food factories.
First and foremost, the accounting and finance aspects naturally became the top priority of this inspection.
After all, a company's financial condition is directly related to the health and stability of its operations. The inspectors carefully reviewed the thick ledgers, checking each income and expenditure record one by one, leaving no detail overlooked that might indicate a problem.
Besides accounting and financial matters, the safety test results of each batch are also closely watched. This is because since the founding of Zhaoshi Food Factory, a strict rule has been in place: every batch of products must pass all random sampling tests before it can be released to the market.
Besides carrying out the routine work inspections, the gatherings among former colleagues naturally became something everyone eagerly anticipated.
One of them was particularly looking forward to this gathering; she was none other than the current deputy factory director, Shang Haiyan.
Shang Haiyan was born into a family steeped in scholarly tradition; both her parents were teachers. However, fate played a cruel trick on them during that particular period. They were falsely accused and ultimately imprisoned.
At that time, Shang Haiyan was in her prime, in the crucial stage of preparing for the college entrance examination—her senior year of high school.
Because of her parents, she was not only ruthlessly stripped of her school registration, but was also forced to be sent down to a remote and backward village, thus beginning her ten-year life as an educated youth sent to the countryside.
In 1979, a glimmer of hope finally appeared, and the injustice done to Shang Haiyan's parents was redressed and their names were cleared.
So she ended her long life as a sent-down youth and returned to the city.
However, life after returning to the city was not smooth sailing. She was once unemployed and searched for job opportunities everywhere.
Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining. Just then, Zhao's Food Factory started recruiting, and Shang Haiyan was lucky enough to be hired, which gave her new hope.
When Shang Haiyan first joined Zhaoshi Food Factory, she was just one of many ordinary employees on the assembly line. However, with her outstanding work ability and positive and serious attitude, she quickly attracted the attention of Zhong Weijie, the deputy factory director at the time.
Zhong Weijie keenly sensed the enormous potential hidden within this young woman; she was not only quick-witted and full of ideas, but also meticulous in her work.
For this reason, he overruled objections and promoted Shang Haiyan to supervisor.
Shortly thereafter, in recognition of Shang Haiyan’s outstanding performance at work, she was transferred to the sales department.
After years of unremitting efforts and hard work, Shang Haiyan steadily and surely rose through the ranks and finally succeeded in becoming the deputy factory director, achieving a magnificent transformation in her life.
In the busy and challenging work environment, Shang Haiyan gradually became attracted to Zhong Weijie.
Although Zhong Weijie was already over fifty years old at the time, at the advanced age of 51, time seemed to have left few marks on him. He looked no more than forty years old and was still elegant and handsome.
As time went by, Shang Haiyan's affection for Zhong Weijie grew stronger day by day.
But whenever she thought about the huge gap between them, she couldn't help but feel a surge of inferiority and worry.
On the one hand, Shang Haiyan felt that she had entered the ranks of older single people; on the other hand, her less-than-ideal family background had become a lingering shadow in her heart.
What made her even more wary was that she worried Zhong Weijie might already be married. All these concerns forced her to bury her deep feelings in her heart, silently loving him but never having the courage to confess her love.
Zhong Weijie also felt a deep affection for this ambitious and hardworking young woman.
However, due to his age, now in his fifties, coupled with his special status as a widow, he dared not easily touch the string of emotions, let alone have any improper thoughts about Shang Haiyan.
Later, due to changes in work plans, Zhao Yuan returned to Beijing with Zhong Weijie and others.
