On the way back to Baishan County from Kunming, Lin Huowang was in the most relaxed mood he had been in recent months.
British capital was completely wiped out of Hong Kong, and the acquisition of the British car factory was finalized. This silver battle further cemented his reputation in the global financial world; according to reports from Hong Kong, Wall Street's financial giants are now seeking cooperation with him.
Lin Huowang also took the opportunity of the college entrance examination to return to his hometown to relax.
After all, the college entrance examination was an obsession that had weighed on his mind for two lifetimes!
As for the outcome, he was not worried at all, or rather, he no longer cared much about it.
After the exam, Lin Huowang knew that he could get into Tsinghua or Peking University if he wanted to.
For these test-takers who have been waiting for years and frantically reviewing, their own knowledge and memory are absolutely overwhelming.
Meanwhile, under the guidance of Liu Rumeng's "shocking" letter, Gong Xue's relationship with Liu Rumeng also experienced a... well, a "breakthrough" that even Lin Huowang himself hadn't anticipated.
He originally wanted to sever all ties, but he never expected that his Mengmeng would be so "thoughtful".
In this era, emotions should be reserved and subtle.
But the "imperial sword" that Liu Rumeng handed over from Hong Kong Island gave Gong Xue, a seemingly weak girl, an astonishing burst of courage.
Lin Huowang had always wanted to know what Liu Rumeng had said to Gong Xue in the letter, but Gong Xue refused to say.
But after that wonderful night filled with warmth and shyness, Lin Huowang could clearly feel that Gong Xue's heart had been completely at ease.
After finishing his business in Kunming, he immediately embarked on his journey home.
No matter how urgent the orders in the Shekou Industrial Zone were, or how pressing Liao Gong's urging was, nothing could be done in a hurry. And nothing could stop him from going home to visit his mother and sister.
Having been away from home for so long, Lin Huowang felt that if he didn't go back and show his face, even if County Magistrate Xiong visited his mother in Linjiagou from time to time, his mother would definitely think that something must have happened to her.
As the jeep entered Baishan County, Lin Huowang keenly sensed significant changes from the roads and towns along the way.
In just over six months, the entire county has changed dramatically.
There were noticeably more pedestrians on the streets, and their faces were no longer pale and numb as before, but full of vitality and energy.
The most obvious indicator is the clothing people wear.
Although the main colors are still blue, gray, and black, there are far fewer old patches that used to be worn out and patched up over the years. Many people are even wearing new-looking jackets and are full of energy.
At the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, the queue was longer than usual, but people were no longer frantically buying things with worried expressions; instead, it seemed as if they were... making large purchases to prepare for winter.
"It seems that after I left, County Chief Xiong did indeed follow our plan and successfully developed the dragonfish farming business in Baishan County."
Lin Huowang smiled knowingly, knowing that his trust had not been in vain; County Chief Xiong was indeed a good official who could do practical things for the people.
Therefore, he did not go back to Linjiagou first, but went to the county first and found County Chief Xiong.
"Oh my! My God of Wealth! My brilliant scholar! You're finally back! How did the college entrance exam go? I bet you'll be the top scorer this year!"
When County Chief Xiong saw Lin Huowang, he felt even closer to him than if he were seeing his own father.
He quickly walked around from behind the desk, then tightly grasped Lin Huowang's hand, shaking it vigorously, his face beaming with joy.
"County Chief Xiong, please don't make fun of me by calling me 'top scholar,' the results haven't come out yet," Lin Huowang said with a smile.
"Hey! Do we even need to wait?"
County Magistrate Xiong waved his hand, beaming with pride, and said, "Who are you, Lin Huowang? With you taking the lead, what's the suspense? I, Old Xiong, have already guaranteed with the city that Baishan County will produce at least one provincial champion this year! Maybe even a national champion! Haha!"
The two exchanged pleasantries and then sat down.
County Magistrate Xiong personally brewed Lin Huowang a strong cup of tea and said with deep emotion, "Awang, you really are... truly a lucky star for our Baishan County!"
As he spoke, he stood up, walked to the window, pointed to the noticeably more prosperous streets of the county town outside, and said excitedly:
"Look! Look at everything!"
"You have no idea how much our county has changed in the six months you've been gone! It's all thanks to you, and to the great example set by your Linjiagou village!"
"When you first proposed the grouse breeding plan, some people were hesitant. But ever since your Linjiagou's first batch of grouse were sold to the provincial capital, bringing back a lot of money and tractors, all the towns and villages in the county have gone crazy!"
"Now, it's not just your Linjiagou; all the villages, big and small, in Baishan County have set up gyrfalcon breeding bases! I, Lao Xiong, even boldly made the decision and went to the province to ask for funding. The county has given us full support, providing the green light for technology, loans, and distribution channels!"
Do you know?
County Chief Xiong held up two fingers. "In just the last six months, the dragon breeding project alone has directly boosted the economic development of our entire county! The county's annual per capita income has almost quadrupled! Ordinary people can finally see meat in their homes! They can eat their fill every meal!"
