Lin Shan frowned: "Second brother, what do you want from me?"

Lin Yuan organized his thoughts before speaking: "Big brother, do you really want to take over from our father and become the brigade leader?"

Looking at the lush green mountains in the distance, Lin Shan thought for a moment and said to his younger brother, "What else can I do if not this?"

He had also attended high school and was full of enthusiasm to go to university and make a name for himself.

But suddenly, the college entrance examination was canceled.

Lin Shan had a rural household registration and couldn't find a job in the city. At that time, the whole country was facing difficulties, so he had no choice but to return to the countryside.

Seeing his dejected state, his father took him under his wing to assist with his work.

Gradually, he found his value in his work.

He no longer felt useless.

After starting a family, Lin Shan felt a greater sense of responsibility and stopped thinking about those distant ideals.

He just wants to live in the present, to be a good son, a good husband, and a good father.

As for becoming the captain, it was simply because this was the job he was most familiar with and best at.

Lin Yuan understood his brother's meaning and didn't beat around the bush: "If I asked you to work at the food factory, would you be willing?"

Lin Shan suddenly looked at him: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

Lin Shan stayed by Lin Aiguo's side and was very familiar with the food factory's affairs.

The factory is not short of manpower right now.

Lin Yuan: "To tell you the truth, Xiaoyu..."

He told Lin Shan about the possibility that educated youth might leave after the resumption of the college entrance examination.

But then Lin Yuan suddenly remembered: "Brother, you seem to be a high school student too. If it really gets reinstated, will you take the exam?"

Lin Yuan was really at a loss. What if his brother also left?

Lin Shan was almost stunned by the news: the college entrance examination was being reinstated...

But after thinking for a while, he realized: "There is a shortage of talent in all walks of life now, so it is the right thing to resume the college entrance examination."

Lin Yuan squatted on the ground, clutching his hair: "But what will happen to the food factory if you all leave?"

Lin Shan smiled, squatted down, and patted his younger brother's shoulder: "When did I say I was leaving?"

Lin Yuan wasn't happy to hear him say that: "Why not take the exam?"

Lin Yuan knew how hard he had studied in the past, but he was just unlucky and the college entrance examination was canceled. Otherwise, he would have become a college student long ago.

Don't you feel regretful?

Lin Shan smiled, a smile that contained many things that Lin Yuan couldn't understand.

"There are definitely regrets, but I won't take the exam; I will stay."

Lin Yuan looked into his eyes and knew he wasn't lying, so he said, "Then, you..."

"You mean whether or not you want to go to the food factory?"

Lin Yuan nodded, looking at his older brother expectantly.

Lin Shan simply said, "I'll think about it."

Lin Yuan wanted to persuade him but didn't know how to say it, so he finally agreed to wait for his decision.

Meanwhile, in the commune, Lu Yunfeng was engaged in a heated debate with a group of scholars at a meeting.

After suppressing several dissenting opinions, the decision to open a store for the food factory in Haicheng was finally made.

Several colleagues who remained neutral actually had some concerns.

"Our specialty store is doing well in our province, but I'm worried it won't adapt well to Haicheng."

In reality, many people still don't believe that a factory run by a rural person could expand its business to Haicheng.

However, many people here had already sided with Lu Yunfeng, so they had no choice but to agree with his decision.

Lu Yunfeng reassured them, "I believe they can do it. Let's wait and see."

Lu Yunfeng had full confidence in Lin Yu; he always felt that as long as she wanted to do it, she would definitely succeed.

He was waiting for Lin Yu to deliver a satisfactory result.

When Lin Yu received the message, she expressed her gratitude to Lu Yunfeng.

If he hadn't been there, things probably wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

Having connections has such great advantages.

Lu Yunfeng, on the other hand, felt that he had benefited from the situation.

He was merely being accommodating, offering small assistance, but the profits from the food factory were reported as part of his political achievements.

"Just do your job well. As long as you do it well, I'll do anything."

What else could Lin Yu say but agree? "We will do our best, Secretary, don't worry."

"Okay, then you should prepare to submit your application."

Lin Yu quickly replied, "It's already written. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

Lu Yunfeng was speechless: "How do you know you'll definitely succeed?"

Lin Yu replied, "Intuition."

She had a gut feeling that Lu Yunfeng could get this done, so she prepared to write an application as soon as she got back.

"Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I have to be prepared first. You can't fight a battle you're not prepared for."

Lu Yunfeng was convinced. He emphasized the rules a few more times before hanging up the phone.

Lin Yu put down the microphone and called a meeting with everyone.

Lin Shan came on behalf of Lin Aiguo, wanting to see if he could handle the job at the food factory.

Lin Yu naturally knew that his second brother had already mentioned the food factory to his eldest brother, so he wasn't surprised to see him come.

Sometimes when Lin Aiguo was busy, Lin Shan would attend meetings in his place.

So no one present was surprised.

Many people already regarded Lin Shan as the brigade leader.

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and simply smiled, saying, "Let's welcome Comrade Lin Shan to the meeting."

No one knew why she suddenly did this; they just thought she was joking again.

The people at the food factory were all young and playful. Once Lin Yu started it, everyone started enthusiastically welcoming Lin Shan.

The atmosphere throughout the meeting was cheerful and enthusiastic.
