The night lights of Jiazi Old Street shone through the wooden windows, falling upon the steam rising from the hot pot. This year, we repeatedly adjusted and precisely calibrated each electric valve. Tonight, we only calibrated the distance between our bowls. We learned to work like the most precise valves, playing that silent yet crucial role in the system. But what is more precious than technical parameters is the warmth of human beings.
Just like the pot in front of us, the soup base has boiled up with fine bubbles, and the ingredients are being added one by one. The sweet and sour of pickled garlic melts quietly on the tongue; the beef from different parts has its distinct texture and flavor, and after a quick dip in the clear soup, it retains its most original tenderness. As the soup boils, it gradually thickens, becoming more mellow, as if all the flavors and stories have silently settled in.
Everyone comes from different places, but in this pot, they find a common boiling point. When the lamb is soaked in the soup, someone talks about the New Year customs of their hometown; someone else mentions TONHEFLOW's vision. There is no need to emphasize; we all understand that "building a globally renowned electric valve brand and creating a family-like enterprise that people yearn for" is what this moment is about.
As the warmth from the pot spreads across the table, the general manager of TONHEFLOW stands up, takes out a stack of red envelopes from his pocket, and walks to each person who has accompanied the company through the entire year of 2025. He gently places this token of appreciation in their hands. There are no loud slogans, only a simple "Thank you for your hard work.
The pot is round, like the full stop of a year, and also like the starting point of a new journey. TONHEFLOW employees gather on Jiazhi Old Street from time to time, constantly striving for progress.
