Chapter 560: Chapter 547: Stewed Pig Trotter with Kidney Beans

Although the situation with the dried noodle factory is different from the glass noodle factory in Miao Village, the factory was initially fully invested and constructed by Shang Chengen, and then slowly shared silver stocks with the villagers. Nevertheless, it’s still crucial to have a detailed discussion with the village chief.

After all, the village chief holds significant prestige in the village and has a strong influence. Many misunderstandings that they might fail to clarify could be easily explained by the village chief, making matters clear to the villagers.

Moreover, building a new workshop in a village can benefit the villagers, but not everyone benefits from it. Some people always like to stir up trouble or harbor resentment because they cannot benefit. In such cases, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to reconcile disputes; the village chief is the best person for the job.

In short, discussing various matters with the village chief in advance can facilitate the smooth operation of the workshop.

“Manager Zhuang, rest assured. I’ve already met with Village Chief Su of Shijiazhuang. We’ve also discussed the details, and even selected the location for the workshop. Some people have already been sent to repair and clean up. The perimeter wall has been built, following the size specified by Manager Zhuang. The necessary tools are being made, which would take another day or two.”

Shang Chengen said, “I was thinking, once the tools and everything here are sorted out, Manager Zhuang could also go. If there’s anything unsatisfactory, we can discuss it then, so that Manager Zhuang won’t have to run around.”

Telling everything at once indeed saves time and effort, but…

“How does Manager Shang know that I will definitely agree to open a workshop here in Shijiazhuang?” Zhuang Qingning asked curiously.

“I’m not certain,” Shang Chengen replied smiling.

“So, if I don’t agree, won’t all you’ve done be wasted?” Zhuang Qingning raised her eyebrows.

“No problem at all. Nothing can be perfect at the first attempt. If this location doesn’t work, we’ll simply choose another one,” said Shang Chengen. “Though it may seem wasted, it would actually help to avoid many problems in selecting the next site.”

“Moreover, I have visited many places before and after the New Year and have carefully considered each one. Shijiazhuang is, in my opinion, the most suitable place. I’m 80 to 90 percent sure that Manager Zhuang will agree to it. That’s why I started preparing early.”

In other words, he wasn’t being obstinate or inflexible. He had assessed and considered before deciding to act.

From this, it could be seen that Shang Chengen was extremely determined to open this dried noodle factory, and it seemed he wouldn’t give up until he achieved his goal.

Those with a pursuit of perfection tend to be extremely dedicated and focused on their work.

Zhuang Qingning chuckled, “Since Manager Shang says that Shijiazhuang is quite good, I’ll just follow Manager Shang’s suggestion and wait for the workshop to be ready before I make my judgment.”

Seeing that Zhuang Qingning agreed, a smile appeared on Shang Chengen’s face as well. He continued discussing the matter of the dried noodles with Zhuang Qingning.

They chatted until the sun began to set in the west.

Shang Chengen took his leave and stood up.

Zhuang Qingning planned to see Shang Chengen and Kugua off.

Just after taking two steps, Shang Chengen stopped and looked at Zhuang Qingning, somewhat embarrassed. “There’s… Manager Zhuang, I have a favor to ask.”
