Kaka Melon Seeds does not occupy a large area, and the architectural style of the entire factory is a bit old. According to the information Lin Shuyue learned, Kaka Melon Seeds was built in 1982 and the factory building was built in 1984. Now, 20 years have passed, and the building that was still fashionable back then has now been eliminated by the times.
After Lin Shuyue showed her ID and purpose of visit to the guard, the guard called the office. Lin Shuyue stood outside the iron gate and looked into the house through the fence. After seeking the guard's consent, Lin Shuyue moved further away and took a photo.
After Lin Shuyue finished filming, a girl wearing work clothes and wearing a factory badge came out of the factory. When she saw Lin Shuyue, she smiled and stretched out her hand to her: "Reporter Lin? I'm Sun Xueying, a clerk in the administrative department of Kaka Melon Seeds."
Lin Shuyue put down the camera and said, "Hello, I am Lin Shuyue from Pengcheng Metropolitan Newspaper."
Sun Xueying smiled and led Lin Shuyue to the factory: "I know you."
Lin Shuyue laughed. If she wasn't aware about herself, she would think she was a celebrity as she was so famous. Sun Xueying said, "We read the newspaper you wrote about the Love Orphanage a few days ago. Thank you for mentioning us in the newspaper. The sales of melon seeds in our factory have increased a bit more than usual in the past few days."
Sun Xueying sincerely thanked Lin Shuyue. In fact, in addition to being a clerk in the administrative department, she is also the daughter of the factory director.
These days, because a lot of goods have been sold, her father is much happier.
Lin Shuyue looked at the good and evil value of about 10% above her head and smiled: "A conscientious company like yours is worth recommending."
Lin Shuyue feels that no matter what the purpose of Kaka Melon Seeds is, it has been able to provide medical services to disabled children and the elderly for ten years, and to contribute two-thirds of the funds regardless of major or minor illnesses. This alone is enough to be admired.
Even if they made any mistakes, Lin Shuyue felt that under such circumstances, they should be praised.
The smile on Sun Xueying's face became even more sincere: "Thank you, reporter Lin."
After Sun Xueying finished speaking, she introduced the history of their company to Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue listened and took notes, and then asked about the reason that had been written about many times in the newspapers.
"Xueying, what is it that has made your company sponsor the medical expenses of the children in the orphanage for ten years?"
Sun Xueying said: "This has to do with our CEO Sun's experience. His parents died early, and he was raised by his sister, who was a polio patient. When they were young, their lives were very difficult. Later, his sister secretly planted a field of sunflowers in the mountains. Later, when the sunflowers were harvested, they secretly started a fried sunflower seed business."
"The business grew bigger and bigger. Later, with the reform and opening up, our Kaka Melon Seeds business grew bigger and bigger. Later, after seeing the situation of the Love Orphanage, our President Sun thought of his sister and decided to bear the medical expenses of the children."
"The same is true for nursing homes."
The sales of Kaka Melon Seeds have been declining, and they haven't had any reporters come to interview them for several years.
Just now, when the office received the news that a reporter was coming to interview them, everyone was extremely happy and surprised, especially Sun Xueying's father, Mr. Sun, who directly sent his daughter to receive Lin Shuyue.
Lin Shuyue nodded, and then asked: "As far as I know, your company's sales in the past few years are not as good as before. Why didn't you find the media to advertise?"
Lin Shuyue asked this question even though she knew the answer. There are so many disabled children in the orphanage, and the medical expenses for the children and the elderly in the nursing home are estimated to be hundreds of thousands every year.
Hundreds of thousands was not a small amount even in the era before Lin Shuyue traveled through time.
Sun Xueying smiled bitterly when she talked about this: "Mr. Sun is stubborn and thinks that good wine needs no bush."
Sun Xueying led Lin Shuyue to the workshop. They first went to a small room next to the workshop to change into shoe covers, hoods, and clothes.
When changing, Sun Xueying introduced to Lin Shuyue: "Our production lines are all state-of-the-art, and cleanliness and hygiene have always been the production principles of our factory. All employees need to change into special clothes and shoe covers before entering the workshop. There is also a special disinfection room over there, where employees will disinfect all exposed skin parts."
As melon seeds are an imported food, Lin Shuyue fully agrees with the production guidelines of Kaka Melon Seeds. She took a photo of the changing room, then went to the disinfection room for disinfection, washed her hands, and walked through the door of the disinfection room to reach the workshop.
The rumbling sound of machines was endless. The neatly dressed employees sat at their work in an orderly manner, occasionally speaking a word or two to each other.
Lin Shuyue followed Sun Xueying through the workshops, steaming, drying, frying and bagging.
The workshop was spotless and the air was filled with the unique aroma of roasted nuts, but Lin Shuyue's eyes were on the workers in the bagging workshop.
Sun Xueying followed her gaze and said, "The workers in the bagging workshop are all disabled people."
The bagging work is not difficult. Compared with other workshops that require operation, the bagging workshop is obviously easy.
"Why hasn't anyone reported this before?" Lin Shuyue asked.
"Our President Sun said, just do good things and don't worry about the future." Sun Xueying looked at those people with disabilities working hard and seriously. It was obvious that they cherished the hard-earned job opportunities more than those with healthy bodies.
Lin Shuyue took a lot of photos of them.
Coming out of the bagging workshop, in the loading and unloading workshop, there are also many disabled people. They may lack intelligence and have physical deficiency, but they have good physical strength. They do their work without being lazy and are very serious.
After coming out of the loading and unloading workshop, Lin Shuyue and Sun Xueying went to the office building.
The office building is a one-story bungalow. The name and logo of Kaka Melon Seed Food Co., Ltd. are written on the door. Sun Xueying took Lin Shuyue to the boss's office.
As soon as she entered the door, Lin Shuyue saw a middle-aged man in a suit. He did not have the bald head and big belly of a traditional entrepreneur. Instead, he was very thin, so thin that his suit looked empty.
The first thing Lin Shuyue looked at was his good and evil value, which was 10%, which was unexpectedly low.
Sun Guoan stood up enthusiastically and shook hands with Lin Shuyue, just a light shake, and then they separated immediately. Then Lin Shuyue was taken to the sofa reception area opposite the boss's desk.
The water had been boiled and the tea had been brewed on the tea table. As soon as Lin Shuyue and Sun Xueying sat down, Sun Guoan poured a cup of tea for Lin Shuyue.
He smiled and said to Lin Shuyue: "Reporter Lin, please try it. This is the tea my wife brought back from her hometown. My father-in-law planted the tea trees himself."
Lin Shuyue thanked him and picked up the teacup. The fragrance of tea instantly hit her nose. The tea soup was clear, and the tea leaves were floating and expanding in it.
Lin Shuyue brought it to her mouth and took a sip. Her first reaction was bitterness, but after swallowing it, it tasted infinitely sweet.
Lin Shuyue's eyebrows relaxed: "Good tea."
Sun Guoan was eagerly waiting for Lin Shuyue's evaluation. The words "good tea" made the smile on Sun Guoan's face grow even bigger. He couldn't wait to tell Lin Shuyue about the tea of his father-in-law's family.
"This tea originally grew wild in the mountains. When my wife was ten years old, my father-in-law transplanted this tea plant to the backyard of our home. Now this tea has a history of more than thirty years, and it can produce more than ten kilograms every year. Since you like it, reporter Lin, I'll pack some back soon." Sun Guoan likes tea, and he rates the tea from his father-in-law's family very highly. Sun Guoan would not give it to ordinary people.
Lin Shuyue felt the sincerity in Sun Guoan's words. She turned to look at Sun Xueying, who smiled at her, obviously very happy.
After serving the tea, Sun Guoan spent the next few minutes talking about his philosophy of running a factory. Lin Shuyue listened with great interest. During this time, a woman in a dress walked in. She was the financial officer of Kaka Guazi and also Sun Guoan's wife. Her good and evil value was also very low.
Sun Xueying looks very similar to her, and Lin Shuyue can tell at a glance that they are related by blood.
Lin Shuyue stayed in her boss' office until the afternoon when work ended. At the door, she took photos of disabled people leaving get off work, then went back with the tea that Sun Guoan had given her.
Sun Xueying watched her drive away and walked back. Her parents were in the office. Sun Guoan had already taken off his suit jacket, and the couple were chatting and laughing together.
"That's great, Old Sun. You already know how to bribe the reporters." Sun Xueying joked with her father with a smile.
Sun Guoan opened the window and let the cold wind blow in to dispel the heat brought by his suit. "That was not a bribe, I was sharing. Besides, this reporter Lin is a decent person at first glance. Even if I don't give her this box of tea, she will still write a good article for us."
Sun Guoan looked at his wife and daughter and said, "We are going to take off. Inform the workshop to produce 10% more goods."
Sun Guoan was able to open such a large factory. He might not be able to keep up with the times, or he might be stubborn, but he definitely knows how to judge people.
Sun Xueying agreed and turned to leave. Sun Guoan hurriedly called her, "Your aunt called and said she cooked your favorite dish tonight. Remember to finish your work early and go back with us."
"Okay." Sun Xueying's aunt is not very smart, but she is really good to Sun Xueying. Sun Xueying was also raised by her aunt.
After Sun Xueying left, Sun Guoan's wife Zuo Xiuli took out this month's financial statements. The couple calculated carefully and tried to set aside some funds from their profits to prepare for the Love Orphanage's heart surgery next month.
Even though the director of the orphanage had already called them, they still wanted to prepare more money in case of emergency.
After Lin Shuyue came out of Kaka Melon Seeds, she contacted the director of the orphanage and went to the hospital to see the child named Pengpeng who had just undergone surgery a few days ago.
He was eight years old, still lying on the hospital bed. Facing Lin Shuyue and the dean, he smiled shyly. When talking about what he wanted to do most, he said, "I want to play the game of eagle catching chickens with the children in the hospital."
Pengpeng's leg injury was not present when he was born. Instead, he suffered the injury during his growth process. Because the fracture was not taken seriously, the bones became twisted and the broken bones grew into the flesh, causing him to become lame.
He is five years old this year. He was thrown into an orphanage when he was four and a half years old. He only remembers his name and a vague home address. The police and teachers at the orphanage searched everywhere but could not find his parents. At that time, his leg injury was already very serious. The director sent her to the hospital for treatment. After that, he underwent various examinations and preoperative preparations. It was not until now that the operation began.
After interviewing him, Lin Shuyue returned to the newspaper office.
When she was coming up with a title for today's report, she directly quoted what Sun Xueying said to her in the workshop: "Focus on Kaka Melon Seeds: Just do good things and don't worry about the future."
The picture accompanying the article is a picture of an employee who is obviously disabled and working hard.
Lin Shuyue wrote down what she saw and heard today in a straightforward manner. She did not use any exaggerated words to describe the kindness of Kaka Melon Seeds, but many times, it is often the most ordinary words that can touch people's hearts the most.
Most people in reality are just like the popular saying on the Internet in the previous life: My life is obviously not satisfactory, but I just can't bear the sufferings of the world.
Kaka Melon Seeds are not expensive, a small package costs only a few cents, and the largest package costs just over a yuan. Lin Shuyue believes that after this report is released, there will always be people who cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world and will donate generously.
Before leaving get off work, Lin Shuyue sent the article to Huang Qiang. At the same time, she took the tea that Sun Guoan gave her to the offices of Huang Qiang and Wang Mingzheng and gave some to each of them.
Huang Qiang was delighted when he saw it: "I have always felt that the finished tea sold outside is delicious, but lacks a bit of flavor. If there is any tea that tastes the best, it must be the wild tea made at home."
"My grandfather used to make it, but after he passed away, no one in our family makes tea anymore." Huang Qiang couldn't wait to pour out the tea in his cup and brew the wild tea that Lin Shuyue brought. He poured hot water into the dry tea leaves, and as the steam rose, the fragrance of the tea filled the air.
"I'm leaving."
Huang Qiang blew the tea and waved to Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue came out of his office with a smile. It was time for her to get off work.
She went to pick up Bai Pingping and the others after school. She was still waiting at the school gate. Not long after, Zeng Xiaoyi and others came out, and Zhou Qianqian was with them. But this time, Lin Shuyue saw Zhou Qianqian's mother not far from the school gate.
Zhou Qianqian called Lin Shuyue sweetly "Second Sister", then skipped and ran towards her mother.
After Ah Yang and the other two got in the car, they couldn't wait to share with Lin Shuyue: "Second sister, there's an announcement today, there will be police coming to our school tomorrow to give a speech on anti-school violence activities."
Zeng Xiaoyi smiled happily. She said: "There are some people in our school who don't study hard, but choose to imitate people in society and start to mix in society."
"I didn't pay attention to it before, but I realized in recent days that those people are really lawless. They actually beat up female classmates in the school dormitory. They would strip them and take pictures of them. Then they told others about this incident as a topic of conversation." Bai Pingping showed a disgusted expression.
Zeng Xiaoyi attended junior high school and high school in schools near Zengwu Village. Studying and housework occupied her entire life. She only got along with her classmates on a casual basis. Her classmates isolated her and ignored her, but she didn't care. Over time, she actually enjoyed this isolated life.
She had never heard of anything so awful.
Bai Pingping knew less than Zeng Xiaoyi, but her adoptive parents, Bai Wenwu and Qian Shouyun, attached great importance to her body and face, and paid close attention to her academic career, both to prevent her from falling in love too early and to prevent others from damaging their most precious "commodity".
Therefore, those malicious people were kept away from her.
Q
"I'll go tomorrow too." Hang Jiabai said that this anti-campus violence activity needed reporters to follow up on the report. When Lin Shuyue brought tea to Huang Qiang just now, she had already informed him that she would be following up on this news.
Huang Qiang lets her do whatever she wants.
Zeng Xiaoyi and the other two were all happy. Along the way, they chattered about things happening at school. As they talked, they started arguing, but soon they made up.
Lin Shuyue sent them home with a smile on her face. Bai Wenhua brew a pot of wild tea and praised the taste highly.
The "Anti-Campus Violence" event was held in the afternoon. Lin Shuyue had nothing to do in the morning, so she started browsing the forum.
The sentencing result of the rich man's murder case did not cause much discussion on the forum, but the report by Kaka Melon Seeds caused quite a stir.
How many disabled people are there in the world? Who doesn't have one or two disabled people around them? One of the labels for disabled people is that they are a burden. They can't find a job, and if they don't have someone to help them, they can't even live a normal life.
But now, there is a company willing to employ people with disabilities. Except for a very small number of conspiracy theorists, the rest of the people on the Internet are showing a favorable impression of Kaka Melon Seeds.
There are people from Pengcheng working in other places, and there are also people from other places working in Pengcheng. Their favorite thing to do is to post the latest news from all over the world on the Internet.
How can a conscientious company like Kaka Melon Seeds not promote itself more?
Word of the story spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. By noon, Wang Mingzheng had received calls from several media outlets in other provinces, all of them wanting to reprint the report.
Even people from the city and provincial TV stations came. Wang Mingzheng smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and after hanging up the phone, he decided to double Lin Shuyue's bonus this quarter.
Lin Shuyue knew nothing about this. At noon, she received a call from Sun Xueying.
Sun Xueying was very happy. She said: "Since we started working today, we have received many calls for orders, even from other cities and provinces."
Kaka Melon Seeds are famous, but only in Shenzhen and surrounding areas. Further away, before leaving the province, no one knows the name of Kaka Melon Seeds because its promotion and publicity is not very good.
They have never advertised in the media before! In recent years, every time they appear in newspapers, they are tied to the Love Orphanage.
Now that there are so many orders from other places at once, Sun Xueying is so happy.
"My father also received a call from the city's financial station. They are coming to interview us." When Sun Xueying called Lin Shuyue, her father Sun Guoan and mother Zuo Xiuli had already gone to the hair salon and beauty parlor. They said they wanted to look their best to appear on TV.
"Congratulations." Lin Shuyue held the phone between her shoulders and chatted with her.
Lin Shuyue chatted with Sun Xueying for more than ten minutes, and then Sun Xueying immersed herself in her intense work.
After dinner, Lin Shuyue talked to Hang Jiabai on the phone, and then went to the Experimental High School. Passing by Lu Yinglan's flower shop, Lin Shuyue went in and chatted with her for a while.
She had moved out of Lin Shuyue's house a long time ago. She rented a house in Xijiang Apartment where Lin Shuyue lived. She came to the store at ten o'clock every morning and went back at nine o'clock. Her life was very leisurely.
Coming out of Lu Yinglan's flower shop, Lin Shuyue had a bouquet of flowers in her hands. The roses were white, pink and purple, beautiful and dreamy. Lin Shuyue put the flowers on the passenger seat, took a look at them while driving, and felt relaxed all over.
The sun came out today, and a beam of sunlight shone through the windshield of the car onto the flowers. Lin Shuyue took out her camera and took a picture of the bouquet of flowers.
When she arrived at the Experimental High School, Lin Shuyue still had the smile on her face.
The anti-school violence activity was held on the playground. Lin Shuyue followed the media reporters and walked towards the playground of Experimental Middle School. At this moment, many plastic stools had been placed on the playground according to the classes. The students sat on the stools in an orderly manner under the organization of the teachers.
Directly in front of them was the school stage. There were several desks on the stage, covered with a red cloth and a microphone. Behind the stage was a banner with the words "Anti-school violence activities and Pengcheng Experimental High School speech activities" written in bold black font.
The organizer and co-organizer are written below the big words.
Lin Shuyue, like all the media people present, looked for angles to take pictures.
At 13:30, all the students and teachers arrived, and the police walked onto the stage surrounded by teachers and school leaders.
Hang Jiabai sat next to the school principal, looking solemnly ahead. On the other side of the principal was the person sent by the Municipal Education Bureau.
The principal knocked on the microphone, and the sound was heard by everyone through the speakers. The principal cleared his throat and began today's conversation.
Lin Shuyue felt a little hot, so she tied the coat she had put on in the morning around her waist and listened carefully and took notes.
After the school leaders finished speaking and the people from the Education Bureau finished speaking, it was finally Hang Jiabai's turn to speak.
As soon as Hang Jiabai opened his mouth, he caused quite a stir among the students.
High school students, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, already know what is beautiful/handsome and what is ugly. Hang Jiabai has delicate features and a handsome figure. The sky blue police uniform seems to be tailor-made for him, with a built-in filter that makes him look even more handsome.
Lin Shuyue moved her camera to him. He happened to look at her. Lin Shuyue smiled at him and pressed the shutter.
Hang Jiabai in the photo had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, which made Lin Shuyue's heart skip a beat unconsciously.
Lin Shuyue raised her eyes again, but Hang Jiabai was no longer looking at her. He was concentrating on promoting the event.
Lin Shuyue put aside all distractions and listened very carefully.
After the event, Lin Shuyue said a few words to Ah Yang and the other two, and then they went back to the classroom for class. Lin Shuyue also followed the crowd and walked towards the school gate.
Hang Jiabai had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he waited for Lin Shuyue in front of her car. Seeing her coming, Hang Jiabai smiled at her. Lin Shuyue paused, then walked up quickly: "Aren't you busy this afternoon?"
"I'm not busy this afternoon, so I'll take half a day off."
"Ah Yue, Yuanbao Mountain has a unique scenery in winter. Are you interested in going to see it?"
