After Lin Yu and Da Tou persuaded them for a while, the group finally agreed to eat this extravagant meal.

Liu He ate without looking up, saying, "I haven't had such good food in a long time."

Brother Duan agreed, saying, "Usually, I'll only eat a bowl of noodles when I come here."

"Thanks to Comrade Lin and Datou, we were able to enjoy such a good meal."

Lin Yu said modestly, "It's nothing. Da Tou is my friend. It's fate that we met. We'll all get to know each other from now on."

Liu He nodded: "At first I thought you were Da Tou's girlfriend, but now it seems you're just friends."

Big Head: "Why?"

Liu He rolled his eyes at him: "Do you think you're good enough for Comrade Lin?"

What he didn't say was that Comrade Lin was very generous and had a great presence, which made him seem like he was from a completely different world from Da Tou.

The two of them are completely open and honest with each other; it's obvious they're not a couple.

Big Head retorted, "Why am I not good enough?"

He glanced at Lin Yu, and when he saw her dangerous gaze directed at him, he immediately shrank back.

"Forget it, I'm not good enough for her. Don't talk nonsense. Sister Yu has a boyfriend."

Big Head still remembers that terrifying man, who was so good at fighting and had weapons on him.

He wouldn't dare pretend to be Lin Yu's boyfriend.

Lin Yu waved her hand to let them skip the topic and then brought up the reason why she had come to find Da Tou.

"If you have the chance, please help me find out how to rent a courtyard."

It's relatively easy to find a room now, but Lin Yu wants to rent an entire courtyard as a dormitory. Without connections, where can she even begin to inquire?

Fortunately, these workers were all locals and knew quite a few people.

Since they were indebted to them, they all agreed to help Lin Yu inquire about renting a house when they got back.

Lin Yu also thanked them, saying that if they succeeded, they would be very grateful.

The group didn't take it seriously; they were already satisfied with the feast she had given them.

Even though he had found a few people, Lin Yu wouldn't place all his hopes on them.

After leaving Da Tou's place, she went straight to Luo Ping's house.

Although the Luo family and Tao Xinxin and her husband lived next door, Lin Yu did not come to find Luo Ping immediately.

The reason is that Luo Ping helped to arrange the franchise store, and she was always afraid that if she went to the Luo family's door, people who didn't know the situation would misunderstand.

It wouldn't be good if this affected Luo Ping's promotion.

It was already evening, and the specialty store had already started operating smoothly, so Lin Yu decided to go there.

As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, Jiang Qing came out.

"Xiaoyu, you've finally arrived! I heard from Xiaotao that you'd been here for a while. Why didn't you come to see me?"

Jiang Qing is a straightforward person; she says whatever she thinks.

Lin Yu's attempts to dodge questions were ineffective in front of her, so he could only tell her, "I've been busy with the franchise store these past few days, thinking I'd come over once it's on track."

Jiang Qing is simple-minded; she believed Lin Yu's explanation.

"Has your shop opened yet?"

Lin Yu nodded: "It's open. Come and take a look when you have time."

"Yes, I'll go when I have time off."

She was very curious about Lin Yu's specialty store; she wanted to buy some more of the canned food she had tried before.

As the person who brought the franchise store to the fore, Luo Ping naturally knew about the situation of the franchise store during this period.

"Comrade Lin, your store has really given us a pleasant surprise."

Upon seeing the sales reports for this period, those in the department who had initially opposed the move dared not speak up.

Who would have thought that such a small shop could have such a high daily turnover?

If things continue like this, this specialty store will become the highest-earning unit on that street.

Moreover, they were very thorough in opening the shop, promising to create jobs, and they actually hired four people locally.

Besides the store manager and the factory manager, the food factory only brought two elderly people to help out.

The officials in the bureau could all see the food factory's sincerity.

Their actions left those who wanted to cause trouble with nowhere to start.

The specialty store now hires local young people, and even if they want to, they can't find an opportunity.

Because the people in the neighborhood wouldn't agree.

They might even protect the exclusive stores.

Luo Ping praised, "You did a great job."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "If we work diligently and conscientiously, as long as we don't break the law or violate regulations, we believe things will definitely get better and better."

These words are very simple and straightforward, which is exactly the attitude that Luo Ping likes.

He doesn't like people who are too cunning; he believes that one should be down-to-earth when doing work.

Like Lin Yu's specialty store, they do exactly what they say, and their actions are consistent with their words.

"If you have any difficulties, you can bring them up and see if we can resolve them."

This means we need to provide them with some support.

Lin Yusui said, "We do have a problem, and we hope you can help us think of it."

Luo Ping raised an eyebrow: "What's the problem? Tell me."

Lin Yu then told him about finding a dormitory.

Luo Ping frowned and thought for a moment: "This matter needs to be handled by the housing management bureau. Let me ask them."

Their workplace doesn't have much contact with the housing management bureau, so they can only give it a try first.

Lin Yu nodded: "Thank you for your help. We've been asking around too."

Luo Ping believed that she had already searched for a while before bringing it up with him.

He admires comrades like that.

Try to solve everything yourself first. If you really can't find a solution, then find someone to help you.

Luo Ping and Jiang Qing treated Lin Yu like their own child.

Lin Yu ate a lot of snacks at his house and filled her stomach before going home.

Lin Shan saw that she had only just returned and knew how difficult it was for her to rent a place in Haicheng.

But as an outsider, he had no choice but to say to Lin Yu, "Thank you for your hard work, little sister."

Lin Yu shook her head: "I just asked someone for help and managed to fill my stomach."

Seeing her optimism, Lin Shan smiled too.

It seems that there are no problems that can bother Lin Yu.

Even if the problem cannot be solved temporarily, she will not be worried.

Lin Shan felt that she was easygoing and didn't get caught up in trivial matters. He encouraged himself to study more and not to get stuck on small problems.

After finding the people she needed to find, Lin Yu didn't rest.

She took the two elderly people with her and started wandering around again.

This group looked like a family, which aroused no suspicion and saved Lin Yu a lot of trouble.

As she walked, she explained to the two of them, "We've already been to all the famous tourist attractions. Now let's wander around and see how the people of Haicheng live."

Grandpa and Grandma Lin didn't understand any of that; they just followed their granddaughter wherever she took them.

Walking through those alleys, I saw clothes hanging densely on the walls.

Grandma Lin also remarked, "You really don't know until you come out here that life in big cities isn't so easy."

"This place doesn't look comfortable. It's better to live in a big house in the countryside."

Lin Yu agreed, "That's right. Our countryside is so big, there's not much space here. Some families are crammed into one room."
