After all, the atmosphere has been built up to this point, it would be impolite not to say something polite.

"Director Hua's considerations are so thorough and comprehensive. I have a lot to learn from you."

Director Hua knew that Zhao Youcai's words were not entirely credible; he was just speaking in a moment of inspiration.

But those words were so comforting, and my smile became much more genuine.

"Let me show you the room we're staying in. If you're not satisfied, I'll get you another one."

Zhao Youcai thought to himself: Even if I'm really not satisfied, I can't say it. Wherever you lead me, I still have to say that the room is clean and tidy and all the items are prepared perfectly.

But as it turned out, Zhao Youcai was too naive; the room that Director Hua had prepared was indeed very nice.

Compared to the numerous guesthouses and factory dormitories he had stayed in, the room that Director Hua led him to was practically a five-star hotel.

Not only is it fully furnished, but it even has an imported color television.

Even after pushing open the balcony door, you are directly led into a small garden.

Good heavens, Zhao Youcai could only exclaim in his heart.

When Zhao Youcai expressed his satisfaction this time, his emotions were genuine and evident.

Director Hua was naturally confident in the room he had provided, a room specifically reserved for high-ranking officials from Beijing.

If Zhao Youcai hadn't brought out two bags of fertilizer and helped with the economic planning of the entire Heilongjiang province, which would most likely have raised the province's economic level several notches, he really wouldn't have been willing to use this room.

After Zhao Youcai had taken a nice hot bath and was lying down for a good night's sleep, Director Hua rushed to the laboratory to ask the researchers about the data from the tests on the fertilizer Zhao Youcai had brought.

When it was discovered that the fertilizer Zhao Youcai had brought out did indeed contain several new ingredients that had not been found before after testing, Director Hua became even more excited.

"We have already prepared petri dishes to start extracting the contents, and we will set aside a separate field to test whether it has an effect on increasing yield."

Director Hua nodded emphatically. Although the formal testing phase had not yet begun, Director Hua had no reason to believe that what Zhao Youcai had brought must be useful.

"You've all worked hard. Once the experiment here is over and there are no problems, the base will definitely give you a month-long vacation so you can go home to visit your families."

The researchers were all incredibly excited. They were working against the clock, and none of them could go home.

Knowing that I can go home and reunite with my family after this is over, how could I not be happy?

One by one, they became even more enthusiastic, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

Director Hua decided not to waste any more time there, and walked away with a smile, his hands behind his back. He needed to have a good talk with the base leaders about Zhao Youcai.

Zhaojiagou.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing sent three different groups of people, but they still couldn't find any information about Zhao Youcai.

Just when this group of Ministry of Foreign Affairs members couldn't wait any longer and were about to try their luck in Heilongjiang Province, they finally saw the postman riding over on his bicycle, beaming with joy.

"The head of the Heilongjiang Province High-Yield Corn Seed Breeding Base called and specifically told the Zhao family not to worry, that Comrade Zhao Youcai is doing well at the base. If the Zhao family has any difficult matters that require Comrade Zhao Youcai's advice, they can contact the base at any time."

After he finished speaking, the postman took out a piece of paper with his name and phone number written on it and handed it to him.

The postman was originally going to deliver a message to Zhao Youcai's house in town, but he found no one there.

He rode his bicycle to the farm again, only to find it empty once more.

Thinking that Zhao Youcai's family had many businesses, and that the only person in the Zhao family who could boast about his wealth was his third son, Zhao Jianhua, who was also a smooth talker, he decided to take advantage of the early hour and ride his bicycle to Zhao Jiagou again.

Anyway, I'll be picking up my wife to come here for the wedding banquet later, so I might as well send her over now.

Speaking of which, the current life in Zhaojiagou can be described as uniquely luxurious in the surrounding area.

Because of Zhao Youcai, a money-making machine who can lead the whole village to prosperity, most people in Zhaojiagou, except those who have conflicts with Zhao Youcai's family, have saved up a lot of money.

In contrast to other villages where most people are pale, thin, and somewhat listless, the spirit of Zhaojiagou is a stark contrast.

The surrounding villages all know that if a girl is to marry, she must marry someone from Zhaojiagou to have a better life. As a result, the boys from Zhaojiagou are already facing the danger of being forced into marriage before they even reach adulthood.

It got so outrageous that as soon as a boy was born, several families would immediately come over to try and establish a marriage between the children.

Not to mention the widowers and bachelors in Zhaojiagou who couldn't find a husband no matter what, they're all in high demand now.

There have been so many happy events in Zhaojiagou lately, with a wedding banquet almost every three days.

The chefs at Zhao Jia Gou's wedding and funeral parlors are incredibly busy, wielding their large spatulas with impressive skill and flair in the big iron pots.

Zhao Youcai's children took turns representing the whole family to attend the wedding banquet, and they all looked like they had gained weight.

Furthermore, because Zhao Youcai's instant noodle and spicy snack businesses are so successful, three batches of goods have already been delivered.

The factory's working capital alone has reached a staggering 100,000 yuan.

Almost every household in Zhaojiagou has one or two people working in Zhao Youcai's factory. In just over a month, the economic level of the entire Zhaojiagou village has improved.

As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, build roads first.

The Zhaojiagou brigade also saved up a lot of money, and directly used most of it to build an asphalt road.

After all, Zhao Youcai was in charge of the factory at the time, and he allocated five percent of the shares to the Zhao Jiagou Brigade.

To be honest, Zhao Youcai didn't need to go to this extent. But who could blame him when the factory, originally intended to be state-owned, became his personal property after his success at the Thousand Ears Festival?

However, considering the current national situation, Zhao Youcai also knew that the best way to improve the factory's profitability and prevent anyone from sabotaging it behind the scenes was to find partners.

The military region took 20% of the shares, so Zhao Jiagou Brigade might as well take 5%.

One is a powerful dragon, the other is a local snake—perfect!

This decision was made after much consideration by Zhao Youcai. After all, Zhao Youcai had a very large business empire in mind, and he couldn't be confined to the small place of Zhao Jiagou for his entire life. There had to be trustworthy people here.

Once you've bought a house in town, you can't just leave it there and watch over it.

Now that he has money in hand, Zhao Youcai has already made preparations. After returning home from Heilongjiang Province, he plans to buy half of the houses in the town, preparing to enter the real estate industry ahead of schedule.
