Chapter 241 Welcome Home, Mr. Zhao! Welcome Home, Young Mr. Zhao!
As he carefully explored every corner of the academy with great interest, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
That smile was as warm as the spring sun and as gentle as a summer breeze.
Before we knew it, the sun had gradually set, and the orange-red afterglow gently sprinkled on the green tiles of the academy like a light veil, giving the entire building a dreamlike golden glow.
At this moment, in this scene, one cannot help but be captivated.
Finally, accompanied by the setting sun, the three of them, filled with a sense of accomplishment and reflection, slowly left the unforgettable "Luyue Academy".
Afterwards, they drove back to Secretary Bai Bin's home.
As soon as the car stopped, Principal Bai Wei and Factory Director Qi Yong were already waiting there.
After Zhao Yuan parked the car steadily, Bai Wenbo and Zhao Zhaodi jumped out of the car impatiently.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yuan also quickly crawled out of the driver's seat.
Before he even stepped inside, Bai Wenbo shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Great-aunt, great-uncle!"
The crisp, loud sound instantly shattered the tranquil atmosphere inside the room.
Zhao Yuan, on the other hand, appeared much more composed. As soon as he entered, he politely greeted Principal Bai Wei and Factory Director Qi Yong.
"Principal Bai, Factory Director Qi, hello!"
The room was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone was having a great time.
"Zhaodi, call her Grandma Bai and Grandpa Qi."
Zhao Yuan slowly turned his head and his gaze fell on Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi looked obedient and had clear, bright eyes. She quickly realized what was happening and immediately called out sweetly:
"Hello, Grandma Bai! Hello, Grandpa Qi!"
The sound was clear and melodious, as pleasant as a nightingale singing in a valley.
Upon hearing Zhao Zhaodi's greeting, Bai Wei's face immediately lit up with a bright smile. She quickly stepped forward, affectionately took Zhao Zhaodi's small hand, and gently stroked it, her eyes filled with affection as she praised her repeatedly.
"Oh my, this is our Zhaodi! She's so beautiful and clever! I heard she's the top science student in Beijing this year, that's amazing! Like father, like son, Zhaoyuan, you're truly a winner in life! Not only is your business thriving, but you've also raised such an outstanding child. Everyone is so envious!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Oh, you flatter me. It's all thanks to the child's hard work, and there was also a bit of luck involved."
Zhao Yuan said with a smile, unable to hide his happiness.
As they spoke, everyone went inside.
Upon entering, one is greeted by a large dining table laden with a dazzling array of colorful and fragrant dishes that make one's mouth water.
At this moment, Bai Bin also came forward with a warm smile and said loudly:
"Zhaoyuan, it's been quite a while since you've come back to visit! It's a rare occasion for everyone to get together today, so let's have a good time! Come, come, please take a seat and try these signature dishes that I personally cooked today!"
Zhao Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and replied:
"Haha, that's wonderful! The dishes made by Secretary Bai himself are sure to taste amazing! We're in for a treat today!"
After saying that, he walked towards the dining table with everyone.
After everyone took their seats, a joyful and warm dinner party began.
People sat around the table, enjoying the delicious food and sharing anecdotes from their lives.
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the air, creating a joyful atmosphere throughout the house.
The next morning, as the sun shone on the earth, Zhao Yuan drove the vehicle himself, with Zhao Zhaodi in the passenger seat, and they sped towards Jinyang County.
As the car approached Zhaoshi Food Factory No. 1, a group of people could be seen standing neatly at the factory gate from afar.
The leaders were Feng Jun, Li Jian, Yan Yan, Gu Xuefeng, Zhao Jieyuan, and Jiang Haibo, among others.
They had been waiting there for a long time, eagerly anticipating the arrival of Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi.
As the car slowly came into view, everyone's faces lit up with enthusiastic smiles, and they quickly lined up and shouted in unison:
"Welcome, welcome home, Mr. Zhao! Welcome home, young Mr. Zhao!"
The voice was loud and joyful.
Zhao Yuan brought the car to a steady stop and then got out gracefully.
He smiled and waved to everyone, extending a warm greeting.
Immediately afterwards, he walked quickly to the other side of the car door, gently opened it, and carefully helped Zhao Zhaodi out of the car.
Zhao Yuan turned to face everyone and began to introduce each person present to Zhao Zhaodi one by one.
However, Zhao Zhaodi felt somewhat lost and confused, because she only recognized one or two of them.
She could only manage a forced smile at the other unfamiliar faces, offering a perfunctory greeting.
Afterwards, the group first went to the spacious and bright conference room.
Standing on the podium, holding a detailed report, Feng Jun briefly introduced the company's current operations and development prospects to Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi in concise and clear language.
During the listening process, Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi sometimes nodded in agreement, and sometimes raised some key questions, engaging in in-depth exchanges with Feng Jun.
After the introductions were completed, Feng Jun led Zhao Yuan and Zhao Zhaodi out of the conference room and onto the various factory buildings for a site visit.
They walked through neat corridors and inspected important areas such as the production workshop, packaging workshop, and storage area.
During this time, Feng Jun continuously explained the workflow and precautions for each step to the two of them, giving them a more intuitive and comprehensive understanding of the operation of the entire factory.
After a long tour, we finally saw all the factory buildings.
By this time, Zhao Zhaodi had a general grasp of the factory's basic situation.
Therefore, Zhao Yuan decided to take Zhao Zhaodi back to the courtyard where they used to live.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, a musty smell hits you.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and the doors and windows of the house were tightly closed, indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.
Looking at the familiar yet somewhat desolate scene before her, Zhao Zhaodi couldn't help but drift into childhood memories. Those joyful and carefree times seemed like they happened just yesterday, scenes playing out in her mind like a movie...
“Dad, if we had continued living in this poor, remote place, I probably would never have been able to get into a top university like Tsinghua University, and naturally I wouldn’t have such a broad perspective and knowledge today! I am truly grateful for the wise decision you made back then, Dad!”
Zhao Zhaodi stood gracefully in the center of her family's slightly dilapidated courtyard, speaking to her father Zhaoyuan with a sincere and emotional expression.
