Zhao Youming understood very well how much trouble Muye City would be in if it lost Lin Yifeng.

Now is a critical juncture for the transition from state-owned to private enterprises. Lin Yifeng can not only bring a substantial amount of tax revenue to Muye City, but as long as he exists, he can also help create many jobs.

The two people Zhao Youming found were short-sighted; they'll probably stay in that position for life.

To put it bluntly, if they continue like this without restraint, they might not be able to hold their positions for more than a few years.

Zhao Youming understood this very well. After all, those who had contact with Lin Yifeng last year had received some government support, and the two of them also wanted to take advantage of that.

Unfortunately, they didn't understand that Zhao Youming and his group were promoted by cultivating a relationship with Lin Yifeng when they arrived at Yanbing Mountain.

It's definitely not Lin Yifeng relying on this group of people.

Although Lin Yifeng is a businessman, his capital is definitely more than just that of a businessman.

Sometimes, when people sit in a high position for too long, they lose sight of their own limitations.

Zhao Youming worked his way up from the bottom. Although he had family support, he knew who he should associate with and who he should associate with appropriately.

How to speak to different kinds of people.

But neither of them would back down, and Zhao Youming had no way to do anything about it.

Lin Yifeng had to put the site selection on hold for the time being.

His best plan right now is definitely to move towards the university town, while his worst-case scenario is to directly establish a university without considering the long term.

It's not too late to gradually recruit people from other campuses and slowly form a university town system when the opportunity arises in the future.

The two picked up Qian Feng and Zhou Zhengcheng at noon, had a meal at a restaurant, and then went off to work in the afternoon.

Lin Yifeng wasn't in a hurry about this matter.

After all, it doesn't matter whether it's done sooner or later; the school has to be opened eventually.

After resting for a day, Lin Yifeng decided to go to Shanyang City to see if there were any opportunities there.

Lin Yifeng also sought help from Liu Shengxing, who had extensive connections, regarding this matter.

Although this guy was down on his luck before, he's made it big now. As the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, he has both military and civilian connections, and he also wields considerable influence within the government.

Lin Yifeng hadn't even gone upstairs yet, and the car had just stopped, when he heard a man shouting from inside the building.

"Master!"

"The big boss is here!"

Lin Yifeng had just locked the car when Liu Shengxing leaned over the balcony in the stairwell and waved to him.

"Comrade Xiaolin!"

Lin Yifeng smiled, waved, and went upstairs.

Although some time had passed since the New Year, everyone still politely wished Lin Yifeng a Happy New Year when they saw him again.

After a brief greeting, Lin Yifeng looked at the crowded office and frowned slightly.

Four months have passed since the acquisition of the newspaper, and in those short four months, the Minsheng Daily has undergone tremendous changes.

Today's newspapers not only hold a certain position in the hearts of the people, but their staff has also tripled.

What used to be a desk shared by two people has now become a desk shared by four people, with everyone writing furiously at the desk.

Several former newspaper employees were also there, giving guidance to the new reporters.

This only includes the newspaper's internal staff; it doesn't include field staff.

Lin Yifeng estimated that the newspaper currently has at least 30 employees, not including reporters dispatched abroad.

Lin Yifeng glanced around the room and saw that there were probably more than ten people inside.

"I feel like we need to expand the office a bit."

Liu Shengxing was slightly taken aback, and then he saw Lin Yifeng nod.

"Okay, I'll have Lao Guo come over tomorrow or the day after."

"Let's see if the neighbors next door can offer us some space. If not, we'll book the first and second floors."

"This place is noticeably smaller now."

Liu Shengxing was stunned for a long time before he hurriedly declined.

No, no, no!

"Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many people here; it's enough."

"Normally, everyone is not in the office."

Lin Yifeng waved his hand slightly.

"Alright, it's settled then."

"Don't refuse, two floors won't cost much."

"I didn't expect the newspaper to expand so rapidly."

Lin Yifeng really hadn't expected this.

When he asked Guo Fengsheng to find an office, he specifically chose a place that was relatively large. Although it couldn't compare to other companies, it was still quite a large place in Shanyang City.

However, the newspaper has expanded rapidly in the past few months, and it's time to expand a bit more.

Given Liu Shengxing's habitually frugal nature, he was very grateful that the place Lin Yifeng and the others had rented for him was already quite spacious, and he no longer wanted to trouble Lin Yifeng.

The newspaper office is the same; unless something truly unmanageable arises, they certainly won't proactively contact Lin Yifeng.

In the eyes of this group of people, Lin Yifeng was their newspaper's great benefactor. They were too grateful to even think about causing him any trouble.

Lin Yifeng didn't waste any time and immediately took Liu Shengxing to check out the houses upstairs and downstairs.

Lin Yifeng and his group only rented the second floor of this three-story building.

The first floor is used as a warehouse for other places, while the third floor has a temporary office for a company, which is usually empty.

Lin Yifeng pointed to the third floor and spoke to Liu Shengxing beside him.

"I'll have Lao Guo rent the third floor for you to use as an office."
