After seeing Teacher Yan off, Mo Yuan didn't have anything particularly to do for the next few days. He went to the greenhouse several times to check on things and found that his eldest sister Mo Hongying, Gouzi's family, and Mo Chunsheng's family were all busy there.
Actually, there isn't much practical work to be done yet; everything just requires time. Soon, the first batch of mushrooms should sprout, and that will be the moment we truly witness the results.
Therefore, no one dared to let their guard down. Although Teacher Yan said that as long as the procedures were followed, there shouldn't be any problems, everyone still nervously stayed in the shed every day, fearing any mistakes. Curious villagers often gathered outside the shed, constantly asking about the progress of the mushroom cultivation.
Today, the villagers' attitudes have undergone a subtle change; they are no longer just bystanders, but have a certain expectation for the success of Mo Hongying and others.
They harbored a desire for wealth and hoped to achieve their dreams of getting rich by imitating and learning from others. However, they were also filled with anxiety and worry, fearing that the pioneers like Mo Hongying would be too successful, leaving them a whole quarter behind and only able to watch others make a fortune while they themselves were helpless.
This conflicted feeling clung to their hearts like vines, causing them great distress. As a result, crowds of onlookers thronged outside the greenhouse every day.
Everyone seized the opportunity to flock to the shed, and some even dared to sneak inside to observe how Mo Hongying and the others worked up close. The eldest sister and the others didn't object, as there were no secrets to be had, and the truth would come out sooner or later. As long as it didn't affect their work progress, they let it develop as it pleased.
They even patiently answered questions from those who asked them.
In short, the three greenhouses in the village were surrounded by crowds every day, becoming a new focal point in the village, and everyone's conversation revolved around making money.
After two days of free time, Mo Yuan was about to leave.
That day, Li Jianguo made a special trip to tell Mo Yuan, "Someone from the province will be coming tomorrow."
It was easy to guess that the higher-ups were paying attention to the cooperation with foreign businesses and needed to send someone down to investigate. Mo Yuan knew that Wilson and the others would arrive soon.
After all, judging from the timeline, they had already sent the message back to headquarters, and the other side should already have a countermeasure. So, Mo Yuan packed some clothes, said goodbye to his family, and followed Li Jianguo back to the county town, where he checked into the guesthouse again.
Mo Shuisheng wasn't with them this time; he had already led the construction team to the site and was probably working hard right now. After all, the deadline was tight, and everyone was trying their best to meet the deadline. However, the income after the busy work would be quite considerable.
Mo Yuan was left alone at the guesthouse, feeling quite bored. Just then, Li Jianguo came over with roast chicken, braised food, and two bottles of wine to keep him company and help him pass the time.
The next day, Mo Yuan met the people from the province as agreed. He glanced around and noticed that everyone except Li Chaoyang was a stranger. However, to his surprise, Bao Ruijin had also come. Presumably, he had heard the news in the province and thus accompanied them.
Sure enough, as soon as they met, before he could even introduce Mo Yuan to the leaders from the province, Bao Ruijin eagerly pulled Mo Yuan aside.
He said nervously, "Comrade Li Chaoyang has already reported the matter, and it has caused quite a stir. Mo Yuan, there are no outsiders here. Tell me the truth, did you really make a big fuss because you were prepared, or was it just a bluff? If there are any problems now, tell me quickly, and I will do my best to help you cover them up. Otherwise, it will be too late!"
Hearing Bao Ruijin's urgent yet concerned words, Mo Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Faced with such a significant event, Bao Ruijin didn't first consider how to claim credit or shirk responsibility, but instead focused on helping Mo Yuan solve any potential problems. This deeply gratified Mo Yuan; he realized he hadn't misjudged Bao Ruijin, who was indeed a friend worth making.
"County Chief Bao, you can rest assured. I know what I'm doing. How could I joke about something so important? Didn't Wilson come with you? I'm telling you the truth. If things go smoothly, I'm very confident that we can introduce the latest fertilizer production technology and equipment to the county without spending any money."
However, if I sell the surplus technology and make money, could I keep it all for myself? Please rest assured, I will definitely use that money to develop industries in our county, which will at least solve some of the employment problems!
The current environment remains very tense. Logically speaking, if this were in the future, Mo Yuan would have been able to freely choose how to cooperate with others using his technology. However, the current situation is not so convenient, which is why Mo Yuan is so eager to reveal his trump card to Bao Ruijin.
He understood that without Bao Ruijin's assistance, it would be absolutely impossible to reap the benefits.
After listening to Mo Yuan's words, Bao Ruijin stared at him meaningfully for a while, thinking to himself: This kid, at such a young age, actually has such foresight and business acumen, it's truly impressive.
Then, he suddenly smiled, a sly glint in his eyes: "You little rascal, it seems I worried about you for nothing. You're already thinking about how to spend the money you've made from foreigners. I was worried you might be held responsible for fabricating this, but I didn't expect you to be so cunning! You're a pleasant surprise! If you can really get the county a set of the latest equipment and production line for free without spending a penny, then I'll take care of it for you. All the money the foreigners give you is yours! Anyway, the county won't lose out. Secretary Tian is just worried about not having enough money, and you've solved the county's urgent problem!"
Upon seeing Bao Ruijin agree, Mo Yuan's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly asked, "Really!?"
Bao Ruijin laughed heartily and patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder: "Of course! A gentleman's word is as good as his bond!"
The two smiled at each other and then high-fived as a pledge.
Then, Bao Ruijin pulled Mo Yuan along to walk back, preparing to introduce him to the leaders from the province.
Along the way, Mo Yuan was in a good mood and walked with light steps, as if he could already see his successful future. Bao Ruijin also felt relieved. The two of them looked relaxed. Bao Ruijin felt reassured and, after introducing the other party's identity with a smile, immediately stepped forward to help Mo Yuan explain the situation.
"I've already asked Mo Yuan and confirmed it. This time, it's definitely correct. We need to rethink how to negotiate with foreigners!"
Everyone was excited, especially Li Chaoyang and his group. They had suffered a lot of mistreatment from foreigners before, but this time, they finally had the upper hand!
