Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...
It's like some kind of magic; whatever she says, people easily believe it.
With just a few words, she can draw people into the beautiful future she paints, inspiring them to work tirelessly towards it.
Ou Manqing felt that if such a person were to appear in ten years, he would definitely become a talented businessman.
When Lin Yu heard her talk about running her own business, she didn't seem modest at all.
"I think I'm quite suitable."
"I haven't made much money yet, but I'm still very satisfied with this kind of life."
Only at this time can we advocate selfless dedication.
If this happened in later generations, she would probably be ridiculed as a "high-class working person".
Because the compensation is not commensurate with the effort put in.
But everyone has different pursuits. Besides money, one must also have some ideals, right?
Lin Yu felt that her rebirth with her memories was a gift from heaven, and she had to do something for people.
Perhaps at first she just wanted to make money so she wouldn't have to work.
But what has sustained her all this way is the sense of accomplishment she feels from completing her work.
It's the satisfaction of seeing so many people living better lives because of her efforts.
Saying she was selfless and dedicated is too lofty; she simply wanted everyone, including her colleagues, to live a good life.
The two took a bus to the countryside, got off at the stop, and then walked back to Lianhua Brigade.
It was already afternoon, and the people in the brigade were either working in the factory or in the fields.
As soon as the two entered the brigade, they were spotted by the elderly people chatting idly in the open space.
"Isn't that Xiaoyu and Ou Zhiqing?"
"It seems so, they're back?"
Before long, the two approached each other.
Hello, grandpas and grandmas.
The elderly people pulled the two of them aside: "You're back! You've been gone for so long! Tell us, what's Guangcheng like?"
Lin Yu and Ou Manqing didn't mind their enthusiasm at all, and even sat down with their help.
"Guangcheng is a big city..."
The elderly listened intently: "Big cities are so wonderful!"
They had never been to such a far place in their lives. Lin Yu told them that there was a sea there, lots of seafood, and many fruits they had never seen before.
The elderly people were very surprised.
"We can talk about the rest later; we need to go back and report."
They went out to inspect and purchase goods, so they have to go back to the factory to report back.
The elderly people were understanding: "Go ahead, go ahead."
What Lin Yu just said is enough for them to talk about today.
There are still many new things to hear, and the elderly are thinking of finding time to visit the Lin family to listen to them.
It's good to have seen the world.
When Lin Yu and Ou Manqing arrived at the factory, they were still warmly welcomed by everyone.
Among them, Grandma Lin and her group of women were the most "enthusiastic," pulling her away after only a few words.
"Stop dawdling and come see how our canned goods are doing."
Although Grandma Lin and these other women are all housewives, they are all very skilled in cooking.
But this was the first time they had ever worked independently without Lin Yu, and they were all very nervous.
Lin Yu felt that everyone said this world was just a makeshift operation.
Whether it's canned food or anything else, it all boils down to food processing.
There aren't many books to guide us right now; everyone's figuring things out as they go.
So she simply let Grandma Lin and the others do it; they were more experienced and might be able to create something different from what she did.
Grandma Lin, Aunt Liang, Sister-in-law Wang, and Aunt Qian formed a research and development team.
First, they made canned lychees.
Lychees boiled in sugar water are cooled and then stored in cans.
The canned food was packaged in glass jars that Li Dahui bought from a glass factory in the county town.
It's hot in Guangcheng now, but the weather here is still relatively cool.
Therefore, these canned goods are stored in good condition.
Grandma Lin told her, "We made several kinds, with different amounts of sugar."
Lin Yu tasted them all. The one with less sugar was almost just lychee soaked in water. The two were not completely blended and tasted a bit strange.
The one with the most sugar doesn't taste like lychee at all.
Which one do you think is the best?
The group pointed out two options to her: "We're hesitating between these two."
Lin Yu tried them both; the sweetness of both jars was just right, and one jar had more lychees, making the flavor richer.
A jar of lychees may have a little less than usual, but it tastes sweet without being overly sweet, and it's actually quite delicious.
Actually, if you calculate it carefully, the cost of these two cans is about the same.
After all, sugar isn't cheap.
Therefore, the R&D team couldn't decide which one was better.
This problem is nothing to Lin Yu.
She waved her hand: "I'll do both."
She remembered that some food products come in several flavors, so they could do that too.
Some people prefer to eat the fruit pulp, while others prefer to drink the syrup inside.
"One is called Blue Can and the other is called Red Can."
Red and blue combination.
The research and development team didn't understand, but they could indeed do both.
Lin Yu added with a smile, "We could also make a combo pack; maybe some people would like to try both?"
A variety of flavors might even stimulate consumption.
And just like that, the problem that the research and development team had been debating for days was solved.
Grandma Lin felt proud; her granddaughter was truly clever.
Lin Yu was even happier: "The comrades in the R&D team are all fantastic. Once we sell them, I'll have the team leader give you all bonus points!"
The group was quite satisfied with what they heard.
At the same time, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. I'm happy because my work has received positive feedback.
This feeling is completely different from working at home.
Working here, their work earns praise from the factory manager, and they are unaware that their mindset is gradually changing.
After praising them, Lin Yu asked, "What about the peaches and plums?"
"The peaches are prepared the same way, but the plums are a bit more complicated."
They said they wanted to research candied plums and make dried fruit like candied fruit, but none of them had any experience in this area.
Lin Yu pulled out a notebook: "This is a martial arts manual that I learned from a master in Guangcheng. Comrades, take it and study it carefully."
Lin Yu compiled what she learned from Aunt Zhang into notes and gave them to Grandma Lin.
"Comrades, you should study hard."
She stood with her hands behind her back, looking very serious. If she were also carrying an enamel mug, she would look like a retired cadre.
Grandma Lin gave her a sharp rap on the head: "Don't be so disrespectful."
Lin Yu covered her head: "Comrade Zhao is so unreasonable! I am your factory director now, and I am supposed to be selfless, don't you know that?"
Grandma Lin, hands on her hips, said, "Isn't the factory manager also my granddaughter?"
Lin Yu pouted: "Okay, okay, I can't argue with you."
The R&D team members laughed heartily as they watched the two of them clown around.
Even the frustration of not being able to make candied fruit was swept away.
Lin Yu also encouraged them: "If you don't know how, just learn. There are 100 jin of plums. Learn whatever you want. Once you learn, you can sell them for money."
