Seeing that Lin Yu could dismiss the members with just a few words, Lu Yunfeng was very impressed.

He can't match that appeal.

Lin Yu didn't know what he was thinking. If she did, she would definitely say that only someone who knew their brigade well could do that.

After all, if she says she's going to the threshing ground, it's not just a perfunctory excuse.

Thanks to Lin Yu's insistence, the workers in their brigade and the food factory are now quite used to holding large meetings.

Whenever there is something important, Lin Yu likes to hold meetings at the threshing ground to explain things clearly and try to be as open and transparent as possible.

After all, this food factory is related to everyone's vital interests, and Lin Yu understands how much they value it.

By involving everyone and letting them know the food factory's next steps, they also gained a sense of ownership.

This made them feel increasingly attached to the food factory, like their own child, and they all hoped that it would be successful.

Lin Yu stood on the platform in the threshing ground, speaking through a megaphone that Lin Yi had modified.

"Everyone, do you remember Reporter Chen who visited our brigade last time?"

The people below replied enthusiastically, "We remember, we remember."

"Reporter Chen wrote an article for us, which has already made it to the front page of the Beicheng Daily, the biggest headline."

This caused an even bigger uproar among the crowd: "The North City newspaper! Didn't the whole country see that?"

"It's still the biggest one!"

Beicheng is the capital, which, in their view, means that people all over the country know about their brigade.

Everyone was very proud.

Lin Yu continued, "Our Party Secretary will introduce the contents of this article to us later. He also brought us several newspapers; anyone who can read can borrow them to take a look."

Now everyone will understand the benefits of being literate. If you can't read, how can you understand a newspaper?

When Lin Yu handed the loudspeaker to Lu Yunfeng, he was still completely bewildered.

Why is it his turn to speak?

He originally thought he was just a spectator.

Lin Yu smiled and said, "You are the commune secretary, so you should be the one reading this article."

The members below chimed in, "That's right, that's right, Secretary, please read it out quickly!"

"The Party Secretary is a good leader."

Under the adoration of the crowd, Lu Yunfeng, feeling dizzy, actually started reading the newspaper to them.

If you read a section aloud, someone will ask you a question.

Sometimes she even left him speechless with her questions.

Fortunately, Lin Yu intervened and helped him continue reading.

Now Lu Yunfeng finally understood why Lin Yu hadn't read it herself; it turned out she was trying to talk herself hoarse!

By the time he finished reading the newspaper and answering the questions, he was speechless.

Lin Yu then went back upstairs: "Alright, if you need to read the newspaper, go borrow it from Song Zhiqing, but don't steal it."

Lu Yunfeng brought five newspapers this time, and Lin Yu planned to keep one as a souvenir.

The other members went to read the newspaper, so Lin Yu took the pitiful Lu Yunfeng and his secretary back to the office.

"Secretary, please have some water."

Lu Yunfeng drank some water before speaking: "You just lied to me, trying to make me go upstairs to read the newspaper."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "No, no, of course I'll save the spotlight for you."

"Hmph, what highlight moment? You're just afraid of getting a sore throat like me."

He hadn't expected the members to have so many questions; they were all curious about everything.

Lin tilted his head: "Isn't this a good thing?"

Lu Yunfeng was speechless. Indeed, this was not a bad thing.

Only numb and repressed people are not curious, because they have already carried too much pain on their shoulders.

Many things fail to interest them.

The fact that the members here are curious about everything and eager to learn shows that they are living a happy life.

Only then can one have the mind to pursue more knowledge.

They are like sponges, wanting to absorb water and increase the weight of their own life.

Such people are full of vitality.

Therefore, in his report, reporter Chen wrote that the people of Lianhua Brigade had a very different mental outlook, giving people a feeling of vitality and striving for progress.

This time, Lu Yunfeng fully understood the feeling he was talking about.

"This report will soon be spreading to various places. What are your plans?"

Lu Yunfeng did not forget the purpose of his visit: to find out Lin Yu's next plan.

"We're already stockpiling goods, and maybe we'll be able to sell them all over the country."

"And then there's the development of new products."

Lin Yu could only think this far ahead, since she only focused on sales and production.

Lu Yunfeng thought about it much more deeply. Making the front page of the newspaper meant more than just an increase in orders.

The reason this report occupied such a large section was because it set an example of educated youth and commune members working together.

How to integrate educated youth into the production brigade has always been a problem that has troubled the higher-ups.

Now that this report has been published, everyone feels like they've found a case study and might want to come and investigate.

This was both a test and an achievement for their commune government.

As long as a satisfactory case can be produced, it will also be of great benefit to the commune.

For example, becoming a model unit.

Lu Yunfeng recalled that the city leaders had asked him to speak on stage, which made it even clearer to him that this report had already drawn the attention of many people to their commune.

He shared his thoughts with Lin Yu and instructed, "It would be best to train the commune members and workers, in case someone comes to investigate secretly..."

That's well said, but Lin Yu refused.

"When reporter Chen came to interview us, we were not prepared in advance. I wanted people to see the most authentic brigade, not something fabricated."

Yes, to provide a more perfect demonstration, the best approach is to train everyone properly.

But once you become a role model, you're expected to do everything perfectly.

Even after serving as factory manager for several years, Lin Yu couldn't guarantee that he could do everything perfectly.

How could they possibly make demands of their own workers?

"No plan is without flaws. In reality, the friction between educated youth and commune members has not completely disappeared. I must be realistic and not deceive myself."

Lu Yunfeng wanted to cover her mouth after hearing this. How could she say something like that?

What if someone finds something on you?

Lin Yu nodded and said no more. She only dared to say this because the secretary had left and it was just the two of them now.

Lu Yunfeng understood what she meant, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll do as you say."

He felt that the food factory and the brigade were doing quite well, and there was really no need to falsify anything.

Performance in its natural state may actually yield better results.

No one else heard this conversation, and Lin Yu didn't tell anyone.

She wasn't worried about any undercover investigations or anything like that.

This place is relatively isolated, so Lin Yu will naturally know if any strangers appear.

......

As Lu Yunfeng had predicted, after the Beicheng Daily published this report, people from all walks of life began to take notice of Qingshan Commune.
