In the following days, the work in the township was somewhat affected, and several members of the leadership team had taken leave to the provincial capital. The matters in their hands had fallen into Ji Yang’s lap.
Upon arrival at the battery factory, Xiao Li naturally came forward to greet him.
Xiao Li was grateful to Ji Yang, and he was the only one sincerely helping her with her work.
Xiao Li wasn’t bad herself. The small team she was working with was very united, and everyone was working incredibly hard on their research.
"Who are these people?" Ji Yang asked upon seeing several elderly individuals with white hair inside the factory.
"They are experts from within the industry. We invited them here to offer some guidance. Our research has reached a turning point," Xiao Li said, visibly excited.
"Are there still any issues with funding?"
"Not anymore. Actually, we didn’t spend that much money previously; it was just a tool for some people to embezzle funds."
Ji Yang nodded slightly and said, "Projects like yours could yield results at any moment. Of course, they aren’t cheap, but I have faith in you."
In fact, Ji Yang was just offering encouragement, as he didn’t know much about this field.
Xiao Li was very grateful and said, "Chief Ji, rest assured, with your help, we will certainly achieve results." Thɪs chapter is updated by n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
She knew about some of the pressure Ji Yang was under. It was said that Ji Yang was supporting them despite it.
Ji Yang looked around but couldn’t make out anything significant – the most he could see was that the factory buildings and facilities were constructed very well.
After having a look around, he started heading out.
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over from the crowd.
"Are you Mr. Ji Yang?"
Ji Yang looked at him, saw a square-faced man he didn’t recognize, and could only smile and say, "I am Ji Yang."
"This battery project is impressive. If the technology breaks through, it will be international level."
Ji Yang glanced at Xiao Li.
Xiao Li hurriedly introduced him, "His name is Cheng Zhongping; he came with the experts."
"Hello, hello, thank you all for coming to provide guidance."
"We can’t claim to guide. Currently, the country highly prioritizes such energy projects. This factory’s technology has reached a critical point; a breakthrough could happen at any moment. I am just here to take a look."
Ji Yang didn’t know what to think of it and didn’t say much more.
After chatting briefly with the man, Ji Yang left.
Unknown to Ji Yang, Cheng Zhongping watched him leave and then turned to Xiao Li, "Xiao Li, your family cares so much about you, yet here you are, quietly working on technology here and even being bullied!"
Xiao Li said, "I just want to do something I’m passionate about. Everyone is very dedicated now, and I believe we’ll see results soon."
"Why don’t you ask the family for resources? Instead, you have come here needing outside investment. What are you thinking?"
"I want to accomplish something on my own. I don’t want to rely on family help. Hmph, they always want to set up arranged marriages. I can do well without the family’s support."
At that point, Cheng Zhongping asked again, "What do you think about Ji Yang?"
"Chief Ji is truly outstanding. He’s dedicated to his work. While everyone else is messing around, all I’ve seen is him completely throwing himself into his job. This battery factory owes a lot to him."
"According to what I’ve found, the Wu Family Sisters have no money to invest anymore. It was Ji Yang who, using his mother’s name, let the Wu Family Sisters invest, which is actually his way of helping you."
"He didn’t seek any return from us; I’m happy with this kind of investment."
Cheng Zhongping said, "With some recent disturbances in the province, everyone could be affected. He got his position with the help of the Chu Family, and this time their influence may weaken here. It’s uncertain whether he’ll be able to hold his position."
"We can’t let anything happen to him; he really is a good leader."
Cheng Zhongping sighed and said, "Are you really not considering relocating the factory?"
"We are doing well now; we have no such thoughts."
"Alas, suit yourself!" Cheng Zhongping was somewhat at a loss for words.
