The following day, Liu Yong arrived at the hospital early to visit his father, Liu Hongfu, who was lying on the hospital bed.
Upon entering the room, Liu Yong could see that his father's complexion had improved significantly since the last time he had visited.
He was no longer as pale as before, had more energy, and seemed less weak.
Feeling relieved to see his father's progress, Liu Yong spent time with him.
He noticed that his mother and younger sister were also in the room and suggested they transfer his father to another hospital in Huahai City, where the medical facilities were better.
Liu Hongfu seemed hesitant about the idea, but Liu Lan, his daughter, agreed with her brother and persuaded her father to go to Huahai City.
After hearing his children's suggestions, Liu Hongfu eventually nodded in agreement.
Yong was surprised at how quickly his father consented to the transfer and felt happy that his parents would stay in his villa after they were discharged from the hospital.
Liu Yong planned to leave the following day and let his father rest for another day before transferring him to Huahai City. He believed the situation would improve by then and be more suitable for the transfer.
"Knock .... Knock .......... "
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Yong assumed it was a doctor or a nurse.
However, to his surprise, Jianping, the head of Dongmen Village, entered the room. Liu Yong welcomed him warmly, calling him "Uncle Jianping," and invited him to sit on the sofa. He even poured hot tea for his unexpected guest.
The unexpected arrival of Liu Jianping left Liu Yong curious and wondering what could have brought him to the hospital. Nonetheless, he was glad to see him and hoped it was good news he had to share.
Liu Yong held Liu Jianping in high regard and was grateful to him. He remembered how, two nights ago, Liu Jianping had arranged for a car to rush his father to the hospital when he had a stomach bleed. It was an act of kindness that had left a deep impression on him.
Liu Yong couldn't help but express his gratitude and amazement at how much Liu Jianping had brought with him. He had purchased various things, such as fruits, protein powder, and milk, among other nutritional products.
Liu Jianping smiled in response and said, "I couldn't come empty-handed. I just picked up a few things on the way here."
After some initial small talk, Liu Jianping walked over to Liu Hongfu's hospital bed and inquired about his condition with genuine concern. Seeing that Liu Hongfu's health had improved considerably, he was visibly relieved.
After visiting Liu Hongfu, Liu Jianping sat down with Liu Yong and began discussing the road construction project in their village.
Liu Jianping was in high spirits as he happily informed Liu Yong about their village's newly repaired cement road.
The spacious and well-constructed road now reached every household, and he invited Liu Yong to take a look for himself.
Expressing his gratitude once again, Liu Jianping discussed the state of their village and inquired about Liu Yong's situation in Huahai City.
Upon learning that Liu Yong was running a large-scale ocean shipping company, Liu Jianping was impressed.
He shared his concerns about the lack of opportunities and resources in their village, stating that their community's primary source of income was through labor work outside of the village.
However, due to the declining wages and arduous nature of these jobs, many people were returning to the countryside, resulting in a growing number of unemployed laborers in their village.
Liu Jianping expressed his worries and suggested that Liu Yong's company could provide some much-needed employment opportunities for their village.
"Your company is not small, and it would be great if you could recruit some people from our village," he said.
Liu Yong informed him that his company was indeed hiring and had been actively recruiting excellent managers and even a deputy general manager through a headhunting agency.
Additionally, the company continuously recruited ocean-going crew members as Universal was expanding rapidly and acquiring more giant ships.
Liu Yong had even considered recruiting and training a group of individuals from his hometown to become crew members on their ships.
With Liu Jianping now bringing up the topic, Liu Yong agreed to the idea after some thought.
"Uncle Jianping, I plan to recruit a group of people from my hometown. The main purpose is to train them to become crew members and work on our ships," he said.
Liu Jianping was thrilled to hear this and exclaimed,
"Wow, the crew!"
As the village head, he knew that being a crew member came with a high income and better opportunities than working in factories. With Liu Yong's help, they could provide their village with a promising career path and a brighter future.
"Liu Yong, what is the monthly salary of the crew?" Uncle Jianping asked.
"After being recruited as our crew, there will be a half-year internship period, with a monthly salary of about 15,000 yuan. If you pass the half-year internship period and become a full-time crew member, your salary will be about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Various benefits and rewards, with an annual income of not less than 300,000," Liu Yong replied.
"What! So tall!" exclaimed Uncle Jianping.
"20,000 to 30,000 yuan per month, plus various benefits and rewards, the annual income is not less than 300,000 yuan!" The amount took me aback, Uncle Jianping.
Although he knew that ocean-going crew members earned well, he didn't expect the salary to be so high.
Seeing Uncle Jianping's surprise, Liu Yong explained,
"Our company's treatment is better, and the salary is higher than other ocean companies."
Even so, Uncle Jianping took a long time to recover from the shock of such a high-income level. He then asked about the recruitment requirements for the crew.
"Mr. Liu, what requirements does your company have for recruiting crew?" Uncle Jianping asked.
Liu Yong replied, "First of all, you need to be in good health. When recruiting, you need to have a physical examination at the County People's Hospital. In addition, there are cultural requirements. At least you must graduate from an ordinary high school or a vocational high school. You must be male, and your age must not exceed 40 years old."
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Uncle Jianping was thrilled that many people in the village met the requirements. He thanked Liu Yong and returned to Dongmen Village to share the good news with everyone.
He went straight to the broadcasting room and announced the exciting news through the tweeter and microphone, spreading the word to the entire village.
"Good health, high school culture!" Uncle Jianping exclaimed.
"Attention, attention, all villagers!" came a booming voice over the village loudspeaker.
Excitement rippled through Dongmen Village as the villagers rushed to hear the announcement.
"Now, I have some great news for everyone," continued Jianping
"Liu Yong from our village is looking to recruit a group of ocean-going sailors for the whole village. The salary is impressive, with a monthly income of 15,000 yuan during the first half-year internship period. After becoming a regular crew member, the monthly salary ranges between 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, in addition to various benefits and rewards. This means that the annual income should not be less than 300,000 yuan!"
The announcement was played repeatedly three times, sending shockwaves through the village.
The income offered by this opportunity was beyond the imagination of the hardworking villagers, who were used to earning only four to five thousand yuan a month through their regular jobs.
"Did you hear that right?" questioned a villager in disbelief.
"But what exactly is an ocean-going crew?" asked a third villager.
"They are transported with ocean-going freighters and can go to all parts of the world," explained someone else. "Being an ocean-going crew member has always been my dream. I must register with the village chief."
"I, too, want to be an ocean-going crew member!" another villager said.
The news spread like wildfire, and soon the entire village was excitedly buzzing.
Many villagers contacted relatives who worked outside the town and informed them of this fantastic opportunity.
They urged them to return to the city and apply for the job, declaring that it would be much better to be a crew member than to work their current positions.
The opportunity was too good to pass up, and the villagers knew it. The prospect of earning a high salary and traveling the world as ocean-going sailors was a dream for many, and they were determined to make it a reality.
As they crowded around the village center, the air was electric with enthusiasm and anticipation. The announcement had ignited a spark of hope and opportunity in their hearts, and they were eager to seize it with both hands.
For many villagers, this was the chance they had been waiting for, a way to break free from the monotony of their daily lives and pursue their dreams.
