Honestly, given the choice between her small village and the steel plant in Haishi, she would also choose the steel plant.

If Sister An An wants to come back, they don't even have the confidence to keep her.

Gu An'an could feel the anxious gazes coming from the side, and said with a smile to Cheng Aiguo, "Director Cheng, I don't have any plans to come back for the time being."

Cheng Aiguo sensed the refusal, but still wanted to try again, "Are you worried about not being able to return to the city? I can find a way to help you with that."

Gu An'an shook her head, "No, I quite like my current life. I'll consider other things after I've had my fill of fun."

Going to the countryside is a terrible thing for others, but for Hu An'an it's like playing a game.

Most importantly, it's convenient to eat out. If I really went back to the city and moved into the family compound, life might not be as comfortable as it is now.

With her current reputation in the village, except for the autumn harvest, she can work whenever she wants or slack off whenever she wants, and no one dares to say anything. Even if someone does say something, it will probably be suppressed before it even reaches her ears.

How free!

Steel mills are different; with their strict get off work hours, it would be suffocating.

Cheng Aiguo didn't expect her to say that, but seeing her serious expression, he knew she wasn't joking. However, he still wanted to try again, "Don't you want to hear what kind of treatment I'll give you?"

Gu An'an immediately waved her hand, "Please don't say it, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall for it."

Her playful demeanor really amused Cheng Aiguo. "Okay, just tell Uncle whenever you're done playing and want to come back."

He was truly greedy for money. It wasn't just the wild game from the mountains that needed to be sold; their steel mill was the same. They not only had to compete with other steel mills domestically, but also had to find ways to earn foreign exchange for the country.

Earning foreign exchange?

Cheng Aiguo suddenly remembered something else, "Have you heard that a trade fair is going to be held in Guangzhou?"

"A trade fair?"

Cheng Aiguo nodded, "Yes, it's for foreign countries. People from other countries will come to participate. How much foreign exchange we can earn for the country this year depends on this event."

Speaking of foreign exchange, Gu An'an thought of the mountains and forests of Xiaowang Village, where dried vegetables and cucumbers were top-notch export products that generated foreign exchange. She immediately felt as if countless bills were floating towards her.

Of course, she was still clear-headed and knew that such trade fairs were not places that just anyone could attend.

"Uncle Cheng, are there any conditions for going to the trade fair?"

Cheng Aiguo nodded. "That's for sure. The number of participants from each region is fixed. Shuangshan City also has a quota, but we don't know who it belongs to. Do you have any ideas?"

Gu An'an has more than just ideas; she has more ideas than honeycomb briquettes.

“Well, Xiaowang Village lacks everything, but it has no shortage of wild vegetables and mountain delicacies. I want to give it a try. If we can really use wild vegetables that can be found everywhere to earn foreign exchange for the country, then wouldn’t we be contributing to the construction of our motherland?”

Factory Director Cheng's real name is Cheng Aiguo, and he is also known for his patriotism. He greatly admires Gu An'an for her fighting spirit.

“That’s good, it’s good to have ideas, but it definitely won’t work under the name of Xiaowang Village. You can only choose to be affiliated with another village.”

Gu An'an had only heard the term "affiliation" in novels, but she knew what it meant after thinking about it.

Although it's possible to register a business under another factory's name, it's not an easy thing; you need to find a factory willing to allow you to register.

But as the saying goes, anything is possible with effort; you have to try, even if it doesn't work.

"I understand, and I'm very grateful to Uncle Cheng for telling me this news."

When leaving the steel plant, Wang Xiaojuan couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and she kept stealing glances at Gu An'an.

Can't you be normal for once?

That look in his eyes gave me the creeps.

"I'm just happy."

Now that she'd been discovered, Wang Xiaojuan decided to stop hiding it. "An'an, are you really willing to stay in Xiaowang Village?"

"For now."

Wang Xiaojuan's cheerful mood was dampened by these three words, "So you're still leaving?"

"Of course, how can you see the wonderful world if you don't go out? Not only me, but you, Chen Zhiqing, even Wang Wende and Brother Dahai may leave Xiaowang Village to venture out into the world."

Wang Xiaojuan wanted to argue, feeling that she would never leave Xiaowang Village, but then she thought about how she was now in Haishi, and she couldn't bring herself to say it.

"Even if you ever decide to leave, I will wish you well, but please don't forget to keep in touch."

The two had just finished speaking when they saw Xiao Wangcun F3 standing downstairs, beaming with joy. He had been chatting and laughing, but immediately perked up when he saw them arrive.

"How's it going? Has the payment been settled yet?"

Gu An'an blinked and said, "Yes, Director Cheng was worried that it would be inconvenient for us to carry so much money, so he wired it to us directly."

Gu An'an said this specifically to those who had designs on them, since they had made quite a commotion, and it wouldn't be a good thing if they were targeted and hurt someone.

She wasn't afraid of Gu An'an alone, since she had plenty of ways to protect herself, and she certainly wouldn't lose the money she threw away. But the others were people she had brought out, so she had to bring them back safely.

"Okay, I'll explain this to my husband when I get back."

As they walked out, they were followed closely by eyes all the way.

"Where to now?"

As soon as he got into the car, Wang Dahai looked at Gu An'an and asked, "Now I finally understand why the old man likes this girl so much."

This is a true god of wealth; we must treat him with utmost respect.

"Go to the post office first and call the village chief."

"Okay, I should call home. Now he can finally sleep."

Wang Dahai laughed heartily and sped off towards the post office.
