“Thanks to Director Zhao for bridging the gap for us, we achieved win-win cooperation between our two companies. I'm truly grateful to Director Zhao,” Lai Junying said, expressing heartfelt thanks.

“Don't say that. As the supervisor specialist of Langfang Fine Carving, it's my responsibility to help you get back on your feet and shine again. What's important is General Manager Liu's strong support for me.” Director Zhao was very happy to receive praise from Lai Junying in front of his superior, but he still maintained cautious humility.

“Director Zhao, you can't say that. Like General Manager Lai, I'm very grateful to you. When we were at a loss, you brought us such an excellent partner, providing immense assistance for our further development. Tell me, if this isn't your credit, whose could it be?” Liu Xiaolin quickly followed Lai Junying's line of thought.

Director Zhao became even happier, but his tone grew more humble: “I didn't do anything; I merely brought two excellent companies together. It's your own tacit cooperation that led to today's good start.”

Minister Yang listened to their back-and-forth conversation and was naturally proud of the excellent arrangement his subordinate had made: “Director Zhao, there's no need to be humble. Your arrangement was indeed very clever, providing timely help to both sides and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results. It's truly remarkable cooperation.”

“Minister Yang, you flatter me. There are still many areas where I lack experience, so I need to work even harder in the future,” Director Zhao said with a smile.

He knew that his inspection trip to Kunhe City would surely earn praise from Minister Yang. After all, the cooperation between Jiantuan Electronics and Langfang Fine Carving was facilitated by him, and the lithography machine R&D project at Jiantuan Electronics was also his suggestion for Liu Xiaolin to apply for a technology R&D project. Every single one of these matters was related to him, so receiving praise from Minister Yang was only natural.

“Learning and working hard are necessary, but achievements should also be praised,” Minister Yang said, appreciating Director Zhao's humility. He began to consider new plans for the tasks he would assign to Director Zhao in the future.

The group walked around the lithography machine production line, observing the exact same production process as the day before.

“Minister Yang, Director Zhao, would you like to try the coffee in our Chip Production Workshop's pantry?” Minister Yang had enjoyed coffee in Jiantuan Electronics' pantry yesterday, which prompted Lai Junying's suggestion.

“Minister Yang likes coffee, while Director Zhao prefers tea,” Liu Xiaolin added with a smile.

“Right, right, I completely forgot about that! General Manager Liu is so thoughtful,” Lai Junying said, slapping his forehead in frustration.

“Alright, we'll go and taste the beverages in your pantry too,” Minister Yang said, naturally wanting to see if the pantry here met Jiantuan Electronics' standard.

The group entered the spacious pantry and saw many employees drinking tea and resting inside.

“There seem to be a lot of people here. What's going on?” Minister Yang asked, puzzled.

“Because we currently only have one lithography machine production line operating, but we have six teams of production line personnel. So, we are currently working in shifts, aiming to ensure all employees are skilled workers before they start their posts,” Lai Junying explained. “Therefore, the employees operating outside and those resting in the pantry might be rotating shifts.”

“Oh, that's a good method. It doesn't delay production and ensures every employee is prepared for their post. Excellent, excellent,” Director Zhao was very satisfied with this arrangement.

“Minister Yang, please try our coffee. It's Caiyun Coffee produced in our Dragon Country's Caiyun Province. It tastes much better than imported coffee, it's rich and fragrant,” Lai Junying poured a cup of coffee and handed it to Minister Yang.

“Director Zhao, please try our ying tea produced in our Dragon Country's Yingzi Mountain County. It's made from young buds picked before the rainy season and stir-fried, sweet and fragrant, a rare good tea,” Lai Junying then poured a cup of tea and handed it to Director Zhao.

“Well now, the drinks here are even more high-end than Jiantuan Electronics'! You didn't just switch them out because you knew we were coming, did you?” Minister Yang said after taking a sip of coffee.

“No, we've always drunk such good beverages. General Manager Liu can attest to this; he drank our coffee the day before yesterday,” Lai Junying said with a smile. “I learned this from General Manager Liu: as long as you treat employees like family, they will treat the company like family. This is a two-way street.”

“Well said. Only by wholeheartedly serving the employees will the employees wholeheartedly serve the company,” Minister Yang said, taking a sip of coffee. “I must say, this is the first time I've had Caiyun Coffee, and I never expected it to taste so good.”

“This is coffee from the hometown of our Production Minister, Ai Xinren. Their coffee plantation back home was promoting Caiyun Coffee, so we bought a batch to help the farmers. We didn't expect it to taste this good, so we plan to purchase another batch next month,” Lai Junying explained with a smile.

“So it's coffee from Xiao Ai's hometown? Excellent, excellent, this is another good win-win situation,” Minister Yang said happily.

“Yes, I heard that the coffee beans from back home weren't selling well, so I mentioned it to General Manager Lai. I didn't expect him to not only take the lead in buying but also bring along a large group of entrepreneurs to buy, which solved a big problem,” Ai Xinren said happily.

“Is there anything special about this ying tea?” Director Zhao also asked with interest.

“This ying tea is simply because it's a famous tea, specially purchased from Yingzi Mountain County,” Lai Junying said with a smile. “I also enjoy drinking tea, so of course, the tea in the pantry can't be inferior to Jiantuan Electronics'.”

“General Manager Lai seems to want to surpass our Jiantuan Electronics in every aspect, haha,” Liu Xiaolin said, neither anxious nor annoyed.

“It's not about surpassing in every aspect, but about continuous learning,” Lai Junying poured a cup of tea, drinking and smiling as he spoke. “I greatly admire Jiantuan Electronics' corporate culture, so I'm willing to take you as a role model and learn from you.”

“General Manager Lai is indeed striving to be like those who are virtuous, haha,” Director Zhao felt very relieved. As expected of the company he had been so concerned about, given a chance, it could learn the essence of others and strive for the top.

Liu Xiaolin also poured a cup of coffee and took a sip: “This Caiyun Coffee is good. I'll have the Comprehensive Department buy this next time. It's cheaper and tastes better than imported ones.”

“General Manager Liu, if you want to buy, just find me. I'll give you the manufacturer's contact number,” Ai Xinren quickly said.

“Okay, I'll have the Minister of Comprehensive Department contact you when I get back,” Liu Xiaolin said, taking another sip of coffee.

The few people leisurely drank coffee and tasted tea, looking out at the factory scenery inside and out through the glass wall of the pantry, feeling quite relaxed.
