Shen Jingyan successfully signed the contract and bought the 800 acres of land at a relatively low price.

Once the land is acquired, it cannot be left idle. Although the Northeast hosts the Spring Festival Gala, workers must be arranged as soon as possible, as spring plowing cannot be delayed for even a moment.

Shen Jingyan discussed with Old Wu that she would give him some money for running errands and ask him to notify the laid-off workers to gather. Shen Jingyan was willing to give them a chance to get back to work.

Old Wu was also tempted: "Boss Shen, can I get back to work?"

Shen Jingyan nodded and said, "As long as you're willing to continue, I'm of course happy to welcome you!"

Old Wu used to be the factory manager, so he was quite influential. In just three days, he gathered about twenty laid-off workers.

Most of these workers are only in their thirties or forties. After being laid off, they rely on meager government subsidies to make ends meet, and their lives are very difficult.

They were very enthusiastic when they heard that the farm was going to reopen and that they could invest and receive dividends.

Chen Jingyan is willing to make concessions and allow farm workers to hold a portion of the shares, so that the workers will feel like owners.

People are more willing to put in hard work and care when working on their own land.

The following week, Shen Jingyan and the workers renewed their labor contracts and reassigned tasks. Everyone unanimously elected Old Man Wu as their leader.

Shen Jingyan was a little worried about these fellow villagers, since she hadn't known them for long, so she asked Lao Xu to keep an eye on them.

Old Xu was a warm-hearted person and readily agreed.

Shen Jingyan gave him a portion of the shares, allowing Lao Xu to also profit from it.

After arranging the staff, Chen Jingyan left behind some high-quality seeds.

After the spring harvest, rice, corn, and soybeans are planted first. After these grains are harvested, winter wheat is planted.

It was half a month later when I finished dealing with the matters at the Dafengshou Farm.

Gu Zhiyun's winter vacation was almost over, and the two of them were about to take Rui Rui back to the capital.

Rui Rui has gained a lot of weight in the past two weeks thanks to Grandma Xu's feeding.

Before leaving, Grandma Xu also gave them a lot of local specialties.

The day after I returned to the capital, Cui Yanan from the neighborhood committee came knocking on my door.

She looked quite tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Sister Cui, what's wrong?"

"Jingya, people from the municipal government are here. They're at the neighborhood committee. They say they want to see you."

Cui Yanan glanced around before whispering, "There are five of them, all looking very serious. They didn't say what they wanted to talk to you about. You...you haven't been through anything lately, have you?"

Shen Jingyan also found it strange. Why would someone from the municipal government want to see her for no reason?

Cui Yanan was a little worried: "Jingya, I've heard that the government is cracking down on tax evasion by businessmen recently, and they've found a lot of people. You're also in business, have you...?"

Shen Jingyan solemnly assured her, "Sister Cui, don't you know what kind of person I am? I have never evaded taxes!"

Besides, tax evasion is investigated by the tax bureau.

"That's good. Who knows? It's good news that they're looking for you. Hurry up and come down with me."

Without much thought, Shen Jingyan followed Cui Yanan downstairs.

Upon arriving at the neighborhood committee, five uniformed staff members stepped forward and shook hands with her.

All five people had smiles on their faces and were very respectful to Shen Jingyan, so they probably weren't investigating illegal or criminal activities.

"You must be Comrade Shen Jingyan. I didn't expect you to be so young!"

The leading staff member said, "We are here on behalf of the Beijing Municipal Government and the Tianjin-Taiwan Municipal Government to present you with the red flag and medal!"

As they spoke, the staff took out a large red flag and a certificate stamped with an official seal.

"Thank you for donating money and supplies as a private entrepreneur during the Tianjin-Taiwan earthquake!"

Cui Yanan breathed a sigh of relief and clapped her hands happily, saying, "I knew it! The arrival of these comrades is definitely a good thing!"

Shen Jingyan was flattered and bowed to express his gratitude, accepting the red flag and certificate.

In fact, she felt that she hadn't done anything special; she had only donated tens of thousands of yuan and sent several truckloads of supplies.

She was probably one of the first to act, which is why the government specially awarded her a red flag and a certificate.

"Comrade Shen, let's take a group photo together!"

Chen Jingyan readily agreed.

After the group photo, the staff asked, "Comrade Shen, we heard that you run a large farm with excellent profits. You are a top student from Beijing University and are willing to return to the land. The municipal government thinks your story is very inspiring and would like to conduct an official interview with you and then send your story to CCTV. What do you think?"

After listening to Chen Jingyan, he was deeply moved and excited.

If we send it to CCTV, wouldn't we have a chance to be on the evening news?

She is currently in the rising phase of her career, and the farm needs more orders. Being featured on the national news is equivalent to promoting her farm to the whole country!

She was about to agree, but then she thought about it again, and her excitement cooled down a bit.

She is Gu Zhiyun's wife, and Gu Zhiyun's identity needs to be kept secret.

What if she makes the news and someone with ulterior motives follows the trail and finds Gu Zhiyun?

Although everyone knows that Gu Zhiyun is a scientist, outsiders do not know that he is researching satellites and rockets.
