On the other end of the phone, Lin Yifeng glanced at his watch.

He had called Ye Wuzheng more than half an hour ago, and now he was calling Ye Yuqing half an hour later, which combined with the discussion in the previous phone call.

Lin Yifeng had already guessed how much Ye Yuqing was looking forward to this phone call.

Lin Yifeng quickly tried to evade the question.

“I’m in the mountains, the signal is bad, and it just went out. I was going to call you.”

"Ouch."

Veronica Yip's tone softened noticeably, indicating she believed Lam Yat-fung's explanation.

Seeing how much Ye Yuqing believed him, Lin Yifeng secretly sighed that he was truly a sinful man.

After exchanging New Year's greetings, Lin Yifeng finally hung up the phone.

Half an hour after the phone call ended, Ye Wu was sending a text message to Lin Yifeng to complain.

Now Ye Yuqing is complaining that Ye Wuzheng took her spot. Originally, Lin Yifeng's first call was to her, but there was no signal.

Ye Wuzheng strongly urged Lin Yifeng to call Ye Yuqing first next time.

Lin Yifeng could already imagine Ye Wuzheng's current predicament just by reading the text.

After finishing all this, Lin Yifeng stretched.

The New Year's greetings have been mostly taken care of; now all I need to do is get some rest.

When Xu Qingyi saw that Lin Yifeng had finished his work, she brought in hot tea and asked him how he was doing.

Lin Yifeng spent more than two hours exchanging New Year's greetings. Now, Lin Yifeng is starting to look forward to the release of a group messaging function on mobile phones, which would make his New Year's celebration much easier.

After finishing his work, Lin Yifeng went to bed early that night.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yifeng was busy at home for a while, entertaining guests who came to visit and wish them a Happy New Year. In the afternoon, he finally met the person he wanted to see.

Village head Lin Jindong, accompanied by village secretary Lin Zixiang, came to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Yifeng, who runs a Hope Primary School, has helped improve the village's income by showing movies to the surrounding area, and even the children are now able to go to school.

"Village chief, tell me what you're doing."

Seeing the village chief carrying milk and eggs, Lin Jinshui was even more anxious and didn't know what to say.

According to the seniority system in Shitou Village, Lin Jinshui should call Lin Jindong "brother," and the village chief is practically Lin Yifeng's uncle.

When it comes to New Year's greetings, it's always the younger generation who goes to the elders' homes to offer New Year's wishes; it's unheard of for elders to bring gifts to the younger generation.

Lin Jinshui pushed the gifts around, complaining incessantly.

"Village chief, haven't you created a mess?"

Lin Jindong didn't care at all, and instead started scolding Lin Jinshui.

"Jinshui, there's something wrong with what you're saying."

“Your Yifeng has helped our Stone Village so much.”

"I'm not here as Uncle Yifeng, but on behalf of the village to thank Xiaofeng."

Lin Jinshui couldn't refuse, so he could only leave the milk and other things outside and lead the two of them inside to warm up.

Xiuxiu and An'an also looked at the village chief with their eyes full of doubt.

They had originally planned to visit the village head's house in the evening, but the village head arrived at their house ahead of time.

Of course, the most frustrated person was Feng Cuie. She hadn't prepared dinner at all and could only hurriedly prepare things, thinking of entertaining Lin Jindong properly that night.

Upon entering the house, Xu Qingyi and three other men sat cross-legged at a small table, while Lin Jinshui laid out the prepared melon seeds, peanuts, and dried fruit.

Not knowing what to say, Lin Jindong looked at Xu Qingyi beside him.

"Where do you work?"

"Me?"

Xu Qingyi smiled and explained shyly.

“I work for Brother Feng, I work under Brother Feng.”

Lin Jindong nodded. Now he was taking his suspicions more seriously. The eldest son of the Lin family must be someone important, and he must have made great achievements in the city.

Otherwise, Lin Jinshui's family wouldn't have been able to turn from a chicken into a phoenix and rise to prominence in just one year. Now they have a small color TV and a washing machine. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they are the richest family in their Stone Village.

Xu Qingyi's answer was also quite interesting.

He knew Lin Yifeng didn't like to be high-profile, so he simply gave a brief answer, without mentioning what he did or where he worked.

Lin Jinshui sat at the table, feeling somewhat awkward.

He could also tell that the village chief's visit to his house this time was not for New Year's greetings from higher authorities, but to investigate the situation and see what was going on with Lin Yifeng.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Lin Yifeng quickly changed the subject.

"Village chief, how's the movie going?"

These two get really excited when movies are mentioned.

Lin Yifeng brought back a movie theater, and now it has become a well-known entertainment venue in the surrounding area. People from the surrounding towns and villages come to spend money here every few days.

The main reason is that Stone Village has earned nearly a thousand yuan just from the site fees collected from the stalls at the entrance. In addition, they have also made a lot of money this month from the sale of movie tickets.

Although business is slow during the two days of the Lunar New Year, the number of people will increase after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

"This movie is a good business."

"If it weren't for Yifeng giving us this idea..."

"We don't have the business acumen to do business."

Lin Jindong shook his head with a self-deprecating laugh, while Lin Zixiang beside him muttered in a low voice.

"Dad, we really need to thank Brother Feng properly."

"Without Brother Feng, we probably won't have a good New Year this year."

Lin Yifeng smiled at Lin Zixiang.

As the village secretary and village director, the two are essentially father and son. Lin Zixiang is also one of the few people in the village who has received a few years of schooling.
