Driving to the plant base, the farmers hired from nearby are in full swing to open up wasteland, Zhen Zhen watched it with her consciousness, and basically turned over the wasteland. Seeing Zhen Zhen coming, the leader rushed over: "Manager Li, it's not good for you to pack this land, some of it is too barren and the soil is hard, I don't think it's good to grow food on this land, you are so cute. Can delicate flowers work?"

Zhen Zhen smiled: "I asked someone to buy some fertilizers specially designed to nourish the land, it's definitely no problem."

People just saw that Li Mingzhen was a good person, so they gave some advice based on their own experience, saving wasted effort. But when he heard that the boss had already prepared, he was relieved: "Okay, we have finished loosening this land, then we will go to reclaim the barren mountains. What, do you want people to farm the land? We have some old ladies in our family. Can do it."

Zhen Zhen thought for a while and then shook her head: "It's okay, I have someone here to do it."

As soon as they heard it, they didn't force it any more, and they led them out of the field and went straight to the barren mountain next to them. The reason why there are such a large area of ​​barren hills and wasteland here is mainly because there are no people nearby, otherwise they can be raised by sowing and fertilizing for so many years.

Zhen Zhen saw that all the people were gone, and she used her consciousness to see that no one was coming for a few miles, so she stomped her feet lightly, and the ridges of land turned over automatically, and turned the fertile soil deep in the ground on top. Coarse soil lumps have also become fine soil, and the land has become suitable for cultivation almost in the blink of an eye.

In fact, Zhen Zhen Da could not hire anyone to use her powers to turn the ground, but such a large area is a project that the government is concerned about, so you have to find some people who can work on the bright side.

After turning the ground, Zhen Zhen took out a dozen bags of seeds from the space, unsealed them, the seeds floated out with Zhen Zhen's consciousness, and evenly sprinkled on the ground. The moisture in the soil wraps the seeds and quickly takes root under the blessing of supernatural powers. Zhen Zhen used her consciousness to look at the state of the seeds, and it was estimated that in seven or eight days, the buds would emerge.

Leaving from the flowerbed, Zhen Zhen drove to a small village, because the village was too remote, it did not keep pace with the times at all, and now it is still the poorest standard of living in the 1960s.

When she stopped the car at the entrance of the village, a group of children with little clothes ran over curiously, happy that the rarely seen car spun around, Zhen Zhen didn't get angry when she saw them climbing up and down in the car, she directly Go to a group of old people in the village.

Seeing a beautiful girl coming to the village, the old people greeted her warmly: "Where did you come from?" "Who are you looking for?" "Are you thirsty? Why don't you go to the aunt's house for a drink. "

Zhen Zhen squatted down and looked at the eyes of the old people sitting at the door: "Uncle and aunt, my name is Li Mingzhen. That's it, I packed the barren mountain and wasteland more than ten miles away to plant some flowers, plants and traditional Chinese medicine. I need someone to help me with watering and so on, I want to pay to hire a few people, do you think there are suitable people in the village to do this work?"

"It's not heavy work, so what kind of money do you give me." An old lady shouted into the house after saying that, "Dasheng, after you finish the housework, go help this big girl water or something."

After hearing this, Zhen Zhen quickly waved her hands to persuade: "Auntie, this is not a matter of one or two days, it has been done for several years, I think you young people who are inconvenient to leave home can go to help me see the flower garden and earn some money to support the family, Usually they can take care of anything in the village."

Seeing that Zhen Zhen really wanted to hire someone, a few old people looked at each other and said a little embarrassedly: "Look, it's not a lot of work, it's so embarrassing to give back money."

Zhen Zhen said with a smile: "I can't always let you guys help for free, it will last a long time."

"That's alright, say how many people you want." Seeing Zhen Zhen's sincerity, the old people stopped being polite to her: "We'll assign you to pick the most capable and down-to-earth person."

Zhen Zhen thought about it: "A dozen or so will do, both girls and boys will do, and young and strong elder brothers and elder sisters-in-law are also included."

Several old people must have so many people, and quickly called the village head out to make up their minds. The village chief was overjoyed when he saw that the girl was going to find someone to work in his own village, and he hurriedly called all the young people out. There is only so much land in the village, and there is no water or electricity. Now it is a well-known impoverished village. At the same time, the situation outside is good, and there are many ways to make money. Many young people choose to leave the village because they are afraid of being poor. Now in the village, apart from a dozen young families with ties at home, the rest are old people. Weak, sick and disabled, if we can find jobs for these young people near home, we can solve the big problem in the village.

Called the only fifteen young people left in the village, there are young couples who just got married and young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, Zhen Zhen nodded in the eyes of the village chief: "If there is nothing to do at home, then I can stay with everyone."

The village chief was so excited that he almost cried: "Thank you so much, Director Li, you don't know how worried I am about this, and I wrote a letter to the district to go to the city a while ago, and I wanted the leaders to help me. Let's figure out a way."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "Mayor Xi specially explained to me this time, saying that I would give priority to hiring people from your village, and the follow-up water and electricity supply work has already been arranged by Mayor Xi, you just have to wait. "

"Mayor Xi is really a good person." The simple villagers immediately said gratefully, and thanked Zhen Zhen together: "Girl, you are also a good person, thank you very much."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, "Then let's go to my field and have a look. You may need to build some houses over there, and you also have to build a row of fences. I will ask someone to buy bricks, tiles and wood." After Zhen Zhen finished speaking, she realized that she had to find a leader for this group of people, she couldn't stay here for a long time, someone had to arrange the work, etc. Zhen Zhen's eyes swept over these people: "Among you Who is more capable?"

When the young man heard this, he turned to look at a man in his early thirties: "Usually it is Dasheng brother who leads us to work. Dasheng brother who farms and builds a house can do it. We all listen to him."

"That's fine, you can get in the car with me first, and I'll show you the place first." Zhen Zhen pointed at the three sturdy young men again: "You three also come with me first, the rest..." Zhen Zhen Zhen hesitated, she really couldn't pull that much.

"There is a big car in the village." The village chief said immediately, "I will drive the big car to send them there."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, the village chief." Zhen Zhen smiled.

"You're welcome, it's us who troubled you." The village chief waved to the young man cheerfully: "Xiao Wu, go to my house and drive out the driver, hurry up, don't delay Boss Li's business."

Everyone in the village knew about the wasteland and the barren mountains, so Zhen Zhen didn't have to stay to lead the way, she drove the five young people to the wasteland first, pointed to the soil that had been sown, and introduced: "This is I contracted the land, and now I have hired someone to turn it over and sow the seeds, you just need to water it regularly, weed, and take care of it.”

Dasheng looked at the area. Although it was very large, these tasks were light and effortless. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't take fifteen people to work. Dasheng only thought that Zhen Zhen came to help the poor, and looked at her hesitantly: "Actually, you can do it with two or three people, don't waste your money for relief."

Zhen Zhen smiled and pointed to the barren mountain next to her: "That mountain is mine too. After the wasteland reclamation is over, I will use that kind of medicinal herbs. I'm afraid you guys won't be enough for me."

Only then did Dasheng smile at ease, and immediately asked energetically: "Then what are we going to do today?"

Zhen Zhen led him to the edge of the wasteland, where a lot of materials needed to build a house were piled up: "You build a few houses, when the plants and flowers grow up, I will need someone to be on duty here at night, then you can arrange yourselves by yourself. Good class, there should be no less than five people in the field at night." After Zhen Zhen finished speaking, she got into a canvas tent next to her, and after a while, Zhen Zhen came out and said to Da Sheng, "There are stoves, pots and pans and so on. , you have to cook for yourself."

Dasheng heard the words and followed Zhen Zhen into the tent, because it was a tent dedicated to the construction site, it had a lot of space inside, in addition to a single bed, everything for cooking was also readily available, and there were more than a dozen bags of rice in the corner. White noodles, with buckets of oil and baskets of vegetables beside it. Zhen Zhen opened the curtain over a basin, which was full of steamed buns: "These are only enough for you to eat today, you will have to make them yourself tomorrow."

Dasheng felt warm in his heart. He didn’t go out to work because he was concerned about his old mother, but the young man from the village who came back during Chinese New Year talked a lot about the hardships outside. , The boss met couldn't wait to work day and night without paying attention to food. How can there be such a good boss who even prepares rice, noodles and vegetables, and even big white steamed buns. This is because they are worried that they have just come to work on the first day, and they are afraid that they will not be able to cook in time to be hungry.

While talking, the carriage behind also arrived, Zhen Zhen came out and called everyone together and said: "This seedling will take seven or eight days to be sent out, and it will take some time to grow up. During this period, one of you will live in the tent at night. Just look at the things inside, you don’t need to leave the rest. But you have to hurry up to build the house during the day, and when it’s hot, you can’t live in a tent.” After saying that, Zhen Zhen took out a stack of money from her bag, Distribute them one by one: "I know it's not easy for you at home, let alone those who come out to work at home this time. Let's pay one month's wages in advance. From next month, we will pay wages on the last day of the month."

Dasheng squeezed the five pieces of great unity in his hand, and the eyes of the big man about 1.8 meters were red: "Boss, you don't have to give so much to take care of us."

Zhen Zhen smiled and said: "I believe you are worth the money, don't think that our work seems to be nothing special, but after a long time you will know that serving flowers and plants requires not only patience, but also professional ability." She took a look A dozen or so people said, "I will come here regularly to tell you about the maintenance skills of flowers and plants. I hope you can seriously study and think about it and take good care of my plants."

"Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job." Dasheng roared, and the others also said, "Don't worry, boss, we will not let you pay for nothing."

Zhen Zhen smiled: "Okay, you guys are busy, I will go to the mountain over there to see and say hello to them."

Dasheng responded and called a few young men to measure a flat area, ready to start building a house. Zhen Zhen drove to the foot of the barren mountain. It had only been half a day and the barren mountain had not been opened up much. Zhen Zhen looked at the progress and estimated that it would almost be summer after the mountain was opened.

"I hired people from Dayan Village to take care of the wasteland below. This is also what the city means." Zhen Zhen knew that the nearby villages were usually a little bit of a fight, so she picked it out directly: "You guys open up your wasteland. , and when it is finished, it will be handed over to the people from Dayan Village to open it."

The leader thought of the situation in Dayan Village, and felt a little regretful that his village had missed such a good job: "I can understand the decision in the city, Dayan Village has been too difficult these years." He sighed, and took the opportunity to talk to Zhen Zhen again. Check the favor: "But the people in our village are not bad at work. Look how good this place is. If you have any work in the future, think about us first. There are not enough people in Dayan Village, so don't forget to come. Our village hires."

Zhen Zhen nodded: "You can rest assured, as long as you do well, I will definitely hire you first."

With Zhen Zhen's word guarantee, a group of people can work harder. They know the area of ​​the land. If they grow something in the future, the people from Dayan Village will not be enough. Now they are doing well. Performance, there will be more ways to make money in the future.

When this person is busy, he always feels that the days go by so quickly, Zhen Zhen feels that half a month has passed since she returned to the city for a few days. Zhen Zhen looked at the flower seedlings in the flowerbed with her consciousness, under the irrigation of the villagers, more than a finger of seedlings had been grown, but these people did not have much research on flowers, and they watered a little too much.

Zhen Zhen drove the car to the flowerbed, and as soon as she stopped the car, she saw the houses that had been built, because it was not a place to live, so each of these houses was not very big, only one bed and one table could be placed. In addition, two large houses were built separately, one for farm implements and the other as a kitchen and a place to eat.

Dasheng was leading the villagers to dinner, and when he saw Zhen Zhen coming, he quickly put down the bowl: "Boss, you are here."

Zhen Zhen nodded: "You guys go to dinner, I'll take a look at the situation of Hua Miao."

Dasheng hurriedly said, "We're almost done eating, and we're just going to accompany you around. Well, boss, we don't know much about this flower and grass. Can you see how the flower seedling is growing?"

Although Zhen Zhen has never learned to grow flowers, she can feel the state of plants most directly. She squatted down and touched the flower seedlings at her feet, Zhen Zhen stood up: "The water is too frequent, it's a little waterlogged."

Dasheng and others were a little nervous when they heard it, for fear that they would cause losses to Hua because of their mistakes. Seeing that they were sweating out, Zhen Zhen laughed quickly: "But it doesn't matter, it's not serious, I didn't teach you before, you have done a good job. So, I happen to be free today, so I will tell you about this. The maintenance of flower seedlings."

After hearing this, Dasheng hurriedly went back to the house and brought paper and pen to follow behind Zhen Zhen, Zhen Zhen took them to the first field, bent over and touched the delicate flower seedlings, Zhen Zhen said: "This field is planted with roses, which are resistant to cold. , drought tolerant..."

Because the cosmetics factory not only produces plant-based skin care products, but also various essential oils needed by beauty shops, so there are many kinds of flowers planted in this flower garden, that is, people at this time do not know much, and if they leave it to the future, it is estimated that someone will have to murmur why. Flowers and plants from different origins are planted together. However, this is not a problem for Zhen Zhen, she will come regularly to adjust the planting method according to the needs of the plants, and work with the villagers to explore a set of methods to grow flowers without the need for abilities.

Zhen Zhen took them around the whole flower garden, introduced the plants in it by category, and asked them to observe what state is lack of water and what state is too much water, and introduced different methods according to the preferences of different flower seedlings The maintenance knowledge, Dasheng quickly recorded on the paper while listening, and sometimes missed a sentence and asked quickly, for fear that a little memorization would delay the growth of the flower seedlings.

Zhen Zhen pays attention to Da Sheng's actions, seeing that others are very down-to-earth, able to convince the public, and the key is to be self-motivated, she is relieved. few.

Zhen Zhen walked around the flowerbed, and the flower seedlings were also in good spirits. Although Zhen Zhen did not use her supernatural powers to affect their growth, for the flowers and trees, as long as Zhen Zhen is here, it is already a kind of natural nourishment. .

As the flower seedlings gradually grew up, the first batch of the whole series of skin care products were also produced, but Ling Xiulan has always been cautious. She did not rush into the market, but first sent the samples to the relevant departments for testing, and after receiving a qualified report , and selected hundreds of employees who voluntarily signed up for product testing in the factory for trial use. After half a year's trial period, Ling Xiulan made a before and after comparison of the skin of the 100 employees. None of the employees who participated in the test had allergies, and their skin quality had improved significantly. Only then did Ling Xiulan announce Lan Zhen skin care products. IPO.

Lan Zhen skin care products have been positioned as high-end from the very beginning. At this time, most people only buy a bottle of vanishing cream, but Lan Zhen’s two series include nourishing water, essence, eye cream, day cream, night cream and other complete skin care products Products, just these bottles and cans are not what ordinary people are willing to choose. Therefore, in addition to the counters in the shopping malls, beauty salons are the main sales locations for cosmetics.

The beauty salons have changed their skin care products to the Lanzhen brand. In the past two years, doing beauty has become a very face-to-face thing among women. Anyone who comes for a beauty treatment will definitely show off after work. Therefore, these two As soon as the set of cosmetics was launched, it was sought after by customers in beauty stores. When you buy it back, you can proudly say: "My skin care products and beauty stores use the same brand."

With the first batch of products sold in large quantities, the second batch of cosmetics also began to be put into production. At this time, the first batch of plants in the flowerbed had reached maturity, and Zhen Zhen took the initiative to invite Ling Xiulan to inspect the flowerbed. The car stopped outside the flowerbed, pushed open the door of the wooden fence, and a sea of ​​flowers appeared in front of him.

Ling Xiulan entered the rose garden first. The roses swaying in the wind were not only bright in color, but also large in size and fragrant. They were much better quality than the ones she had ordered from outside. Lavender, chamomile... all kinds of flowers came together to make one feel relaxed and happy. sea ​​of ​​flowers.

Ling Xiulan looked at the unforgettable scene in front of her, and couldn't help sighing: "Zhen Zhen, Mom doesn't know how to praise you. No matter what you do, you child will not fail."

The breeze blew, Zhen Zhen tucked the hair that was blowing on her face behind her ears: "It's just my luck."

"It's not so easy to succeed just by being lucky." Ling Xiulan looked at her admiringly: "There is still seriousness and courage."

"Who let me be born in such a good age, there is gold everywhere, it depends on whether I should bend over to pick it up." Zhen Zhen smiled: "I am the kind of person who bends over and is more diligent."

Ling Xiulan couldn't help laughing when she heard Zhen Zhen's metaphor: "It's good now, we have our own flower garden, and the quality of the products is more guaranteed. By the way, I heard you say that you also grow medicinal herbs?"

"Yes." Zhen Zhen pointed to the mountain not far away: "It's all planted on the mountain, but I don't have much experience in artificial cultivation of medicinal materials, so I have to explore the experience. Moreover, the growth period of medicinal materials is generally relatively long. , I estimate that the medicinal materials purchased from outside will be gradually replaced next year."

"This is already very good." Ling Xiulan looked at the endless flower garden and felt very comfortable: "To tell you the truth, I never dared to have the idea of ​​building my own plant base before, I always felt that it involved too much human, material and energy. I comforted myself and said that buying from outside is the same. However, I only purchased two batches of raw materials and found that this matter is not as simple as I thought, especially flowers that are easily damaged. Once I find that the quality of the flowers provided by the other party is not good enough , it is difficult to find a supplier that can be replaced immediately. Fortunately, you think about this in the front, we have our own plant base to ensure the quality of raw materials, and thus ensure the quality of our skin care products.”

"It's mainly because my mother is too serious." Zhen Zhen blushed after being praised by Ling Xiulan, and she also started praising her mother-in-law: "With your seriousness and hard work, we can expand from one beauty salon to eight beauty salons, and now a skin care product factory. And the plant base, Mom's credit is the biggest."

"It's alright, let's stop touting each other's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." Ling Xiulan smiled and patted Zhen Zhen's hand: "I have to arrange for someone to pick them quickly, and tomorrow we can put the freshest flowers into the production line."

Zhen Zhen couldn't help with the picking, she stayed with Ling Xiulan for a while before returning to the city. Recently, there has been rumors in the city that there is a piece of land with a good location to be auctioned. This is the first time that the imperial capital has said that it will be auctioned for the construction of residential land. If your own real estate company wins the land, you can build commercial housing for external sales. This is different from building a public housing in a bid. Building a public housing is at most the level of a construction company. You can only build commercial housing if you get the land yourself. A real real estate company.

As soon as she returned to the office, Zhen Zhen couldn't wait to call her newly recruited assistant: "Is there any news about the auction of the land?"

"The city has already issued a notice that the public auction will be held in ten days." The assistant handed the documents to Zhen Zhen while talking. Zhen Zhen took it over and swept it over quickly, and then he was relieved: "You hurry up to sign up, and then ask for any precautions, we must not miss this auction."

"Okay." The assistant responded, and just wanted to leave, he remembered something and immediately turned around and said, "Manager, you made a few phone calls at home just now, and it sounds like there is something urgent."

Zhen Zhen's heart trembled when she heard this, the first thing she thought about was if something happened, because the family knew that Zhen Zhen was busy with work, and generally would not call the unit unless there were special circumstances. Zhen Zhen immediately took a look at the situation at home with her consciousness, and saw the baby dragon and phoenix sitting on the bed holding the building blocks and giggling, Wang Sufen and Mrs. Li talking while watching the child, Li Muwu sitting next to him drinking tea, nothing seemed to happen thing.

Zhen Zhen just wanted to look away when she suddenly saw that Xi Junjie was at home at this time, and he was still packing his luggage. Zhen Zhen immediately picked up the phone and dialed to her room, Xi Junjie put down the shirt folded in his hand, and answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Junjie, I heard you called me?" Zhen Zhen took the phone and asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"

"No." Xi Junjie rubbed the bridge of his nose with a tired look on his face: "I may have to travel for a while."

Zhen Zhen looked at Xi Junjie's expression and had a bad feeling in her heart: "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Pakistan to pick up the local overseas Chinese back to China and handle some foreign affairs." Xi Junjie's voice was a little uneasy, as if he was worried that Zhen Zhen would not agree: "I know it might be dangerous there, but I'm not going by myself, There are also seven colleagues, and we also have soldiers accompanying us, you can rest assured that you will be very safe." Hearing the silence over the microphone, Xi Junjie reluctantly added: "You know that we do diplomatic work, it is inevitable This will happen.”
