Lu Yuan finished the last sip of his drink and then said to Long San, "Then you can take your time to think it over. I'm going back to work now!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan stood up to leave, but Long San gritted his teeth and whispered, "I'll join!"
Upon hearing the other party's agreement, Lu Yuan's face immediately lit up with joy: "That's great! I believe that with Brother Long joining us, our grain base will definitely make a lot of money!"
"Sigh! I really don't know why I agreed, but let me make this clear first, you can't do anything reckless!"
Lu Yuan patted the other man on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Brother Long, how could I possibly do anything reckless! Trust me!"
Then, Lu Yuan sat down again and called out to the kitchen, "Serve the food!"
Long San was slightly taken aback. Seeing the chef bring over the dishes, he was immediately furious and gritted his teeth: "You son of a bitch, if I don't agree, are you just planning to make some peanuts?"
Lu Yuan quickly grinned and said, "Brother Long, how could that be! These chefs are too slow! I'll fire them later!"
Long San knew exactly what was going on, and he finished almost all the food in one meal.
After letting out a satisfied burp, Long San felt he was one step closer to getting his money's worth.
After seeing Long San off, Lu Yuan went straight to his office.
Everyone who was supposed to be busy was busy, and those who weren't busy were also finding something to do.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan enter, everyone immediately became a little nervous again.
Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Can you guys please stop treating me like the boss? We're all part of a team, there's no need to be as strict as in the old company!"
Shi Quan was holding a towel and preparing to wipe the table when he heard Lu Yuan's words and gently turned his head.
"Sigh! It wasn't on purpose, we're just used to our old way of life, and we always feel like you're the boss in the workshop!"
Wang Mingming also nodded slightly from behind Lu Yuan.
"Alright! You can rest when you're done with your work. I'll see if I can find some entertainment options elsewhere and turn the open space downstairs into a recreation room. Everyone can go there to pass the time if they're bored!"
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Lu Yuan changed the subject and looked at everyone: "Is everyone alright?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Shi Quan was the first to raise his hand, followed by Lu's father and Xiao Shan's father.
Du Heng had no idea what he needed to do, so he immediately stepped forward as well.
"Are you all alright? Well then, I'll give you some things to do!"
The group's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, as if only work could make them feel any sense of purpose.
Then Lu Yuan nodded to the group and went to the conference room next door.
Before they could even sit down, the others followed them in.
"Um...why are you guys here too?"
Xiao Shan, holding a laptop, said, "Of course we can't miss any of the meetings! Perfect timing, I've finished all my work!"
Kong Hanting nodded repeatedly, "President Lu, we have indeed finished our work. I can handle the accounting later!"
Then Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Tong and asked, "Does this mean your training is canceled?"
Zhou Tong shrugged: "I don't need to worry about such trivial matters. We're all veterans. It would be pointless for me to supervise these things!"
"Alright! In that case, let's have a general meeting! Oh, right! It seems my mom and the others haven't arrived yet!"
Xiao Shan nodded: "I've already sent someone to inform them! They should be here soon!"
So, Lu Yuan could only sit in the chair and sort out his thoughts.
Before long, Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother returned together, both looking tired.
"We're not late, are we? You guys continue! We'll just listen!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "It hasn't started yet! Since none of us want to miss this meeting, I think we should all come and start it together!"
Lu Yuan expressed his helplessness regarding the two meetings held in two days, but said that everyone's intentions were good, so there might still be room for change regarding the grain production base.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at his mother and Xiao Shan's mother.
"How are things with the live poultry and livestock? Do they still not like eating water spinach?"
Aunt Lu nodded and said helplessly, "Yes! My sister and I have been worried about this for several days. Yuanyuan has also been busy and stressed. She has searched for a lot of information to study why the animals are not eating, but after trying, there has been no good effect. But if we feed our own food to these poultry and livestock, we will have no food to eat!"
"Yes! If this problem isn't solved now, it'll be a real headache later! So, let's try our best to solve the problem of feeding these poultry and livestock, otherwise, if something really goes wrong, we'll be too ashamed to face you!"
Xiaoshan's mother had blisters around the corners of her mouth and bloodshot eyes; she looked like she'd been incredibly busy these past few days.
Lu Yuan nodded: "Alright! I'll go to other districts this afternoon to see if I can get some food to tide me over!"
Then Lu Yuan glanced at everyone and continued, "We are facing a problem now! That is the problem of food! We are out of food, whether it is for our own consumption or for the consumption of poultry and livestock! But if we try to purchase it, the price will be very high, so there may be a lot of pressure if we continue to purchase food. I happened to go to the border of the Ninth District this morning. There are more than 10 acres of land there. If we use it to grow food, it should be enough!"
