At first, even though they had money, they didn't sell their grain, so they managed to survive the drought. The people of Xia Shui Wan were poor, and they would save every grain they had to exchange for money, which led to the later situation where they had no food to eat. Of course, it can't be said that they brought it on themselves, but life was just like that.

The people of Xia Shui Wan live in poverty, and their lives are mostly miserable. The only chance for them to turn their lives around is working in this factory. If they work in the factory, there is a chance for everyone to turn their lives around.

When they thought of this, everyone had a fawning smile on their face and said, "We really have no way to survive. Please help us. Everyone in Qishan'ao is rolling in money."

"You're wrong about that." When Secretary Li heard this, he looked at the people from Xiashuiwan and felt particularly uncomfortable. The people from Qishan'ao were also showing some anger as they looked at the other party.

Upon hearing this, everyone in Qishan'ao felt a surge of anger. Not only that, but many of them spoke with hostility, saying, "How can you talk like that?"

Upon hearing this, the people from Xia Shui Wan realized that their previous words were problematic and immediately said, "I know that what I said was problematic. You can forgive me. I won't say it again."

"Let's not talk about these things anymore. I know what I'm doing." Upon hearing this, the people from Qishan'ao spoke up. "I will go to the factory to inquire, but don't expect so many people. At most, there will be a hundred. You can choose the ones who are the most difficult to reach."

Upon hearing this, the man in front of him paused for a moment, then immediately nodded vigorously. "Okay, that's settled... Thank you so much, Secretary Li. I had no choice. You've seen how hard life is for the people of Xiashuiwan."

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li glanced at the people present and understood that they were all suffering. The problem was that he also had his own hardships and some things he had kept to himself.

"Alright, that's enough. Go back and wait for the results. It'll be at most six months." The people from Xia Shui Wan frowned upon hearing this. "Don't even think about it immediately. The drought has just ended. Do you really think this factory can start operating right away?"

Upon hearing this, the people at the lower bay immediately said, "Of course we know, of course we know." Yes, of course they knew.

"Um... I heard that you have chicken feet every day in Qishan'ao, right? Could you give us a discount?" he said, looking at Secretary Li. "We're not taking it for free."

"I can't make that decision," Secretary Li said. Upon hearing this, the person standing not far away had a somewhat complicated expression, but still nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I understand." In the end, there was a bit of helplessness in her voice. This was the only way to do things. Meanwhile, on Feng Biluo's side, the factory had started incubating eggs again after opening.

"Factory Director Li said he has something to discuss with you." Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo was slightly taken aback, got up and walked out. As she walked out, she saw Secretary Li standing not far away.

"Secretary Li, what happened? What are you doing here?" Feng Biluo asked as she looked at Secretary Li. When Secretary Li looked at Feng Biluo, he felt a little complicated. Everyone had seen Feng Biluo's contributions to the village and Qishan'ao over the years.

Although there have been continuous droughts in recent years, the country has not given up on researching millet. The research on millet has been very effective, and it is believed that before long, there will be a different effect.

At this moment, this can be described as a major event that will change the country and the living environment of many people, because food is of paramount importance to everyone, and the technology for producing food is now directly ahead of that of foreign countries.

"I'm here to take a look at the factory. Come on, show me around," Secretary Li said to Feng Biluo. Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at Secretary Li and nodded with a smile.

“Alright, if Secretary Li wants to go in and take a look, then come in.” Feng Biluo said. Upon hearing this, Secretary Li nodded and went in to take a look. As he went in, he saw the equipment and the busy people around him.

"By the way, Biluo... do you need any more staff at your factory?" Secretary Li asked, looking at Feng Biluo. Feng Biluo was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

"We do need some staff." Feng Biluo had only had the right to use the factory for a little over a year, and she planned to do some things during that time. "What's wrong? Does Secretary Li have someone he wants to recommend to me?" Feng Biluo asked.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Li nodded and looked at Feng Biluo with a complex expression. "Yes, you know about Xiashuiwan. First there was the flood, then the drought. Life is really tough for them now, so they came to me to see if there's any way to solve the problem. I really can't think of any solutions, so I came to ask you if you could make an exception."

Upon hearing this, Feng Biluo looked at the other party, her expression becoming somewhat complicated. "Then how many people do you want to send me, Secretary Li? To be frank, I can send fifty people. Any more than that, and my factory can't handle it right now," Feng Biluo said. "One person, one job."
