Fifteen minutes later, at the home of Village Chief He in Hua'an Village.
"Secretary Li, are you saying that Boss Xu needs a temporary house to make those foods?" The village chief of Hua'an Village asked in confusion, "Why go through all that trouble? I can just have the villagers make them and deliver them to Boss Xu, can't I?"
“No, this is different from when you made some food and sent it to Boss Xu.” Li Sixin shook his head and said, “Boss Xu needs the relevant production qualifications to send things away, and to have production qualifications, you need a place to produce them.”
"So we need to find a place for Boss Xu. These cement houses are hard to find!" The village chief of Hua'an Village turned around twice with a worried look on his face.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on the wall of his office. As if he had thought of something, he looked Li Sixin up and down and asked suspiciously, "Secretary Li, could it be that you have your eye on this office of mine?"
"No, that's not it," Li Sixin said with a smile, waving his hand. "I didn't take a liking to your office."
Hearing this, the village chief of Hua'an Village breathed a slight sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax, Li Sixin continued, "Your office is less than ten square meters, how can that be enough? You need at least that large open-plan room of fifty square meters outside!"
"I knew you wouldn't come here for anything good!" The village chief of Hua'an Village rolled his eyes and muttered something else, but was interrupted by Li Sixin.
"Why isn't it a good thing!" Li Sixin coaxed. "With your place, in just three to five days, Boss Xu will be able to deliver grape products to customers. Then we'll know if the food is popular, and whether the grapes in your orchard can be exchanged for cash."
As he spoke, Li Sixin beckoned to the village chief of Hua'an Village, signaling him to come closer. He lowered his voice and said, "Whether this matter succeeds or not, you've given up this office. Boss Xu will have to remember your kindness."
The second phase of construction will be the Xu's Braised Food production base, specifically responsible for producing braised food orders through online channels. Currently, two tons of braised food are sold online daily, 80% of which are vegetarian. Village Chief He, did you say that the fruits and vegetables needed for making the braised food are transported all the way from Shanghai, or are they sourced locally?
Before the village chief of Hua'an Village could respond, Li Sixin crossed his arms, his gaze fixed on the bright moon in the sky, and muttered to himself:
"I remember the village office in Liao Family Village was also made of brick walls, and it was much bigger than yours. The one in Xiangyang Village is a bit smaller, but it's still adequate."
After listening to this barrage of probing questions, the village chief of Hua'an Village's expression changed several times. Finally, he forced a smile and cautiously asked, "Secretary Li, how about I think about it for two days? After all, there are quite a few village cadres, and my opinion alone isn't enough, is it?"
"Oh," Li Sixin nodded, offering a thoughtful reminder:
"Mr. Xu is leaving for Haishi early tomorrow morning. We don't know when he'll be back. Maybe when the factory is finished and ready to open. At the earliest, it'll be before the Lunar New Year, or at the latest, after."
"We're going back to Haishi tomorrow! How come it's so soon!" The village chief of Hua'an Village exclaimed in surprise.
"Boss Xu has more than just this little business here. His roots are in Haishi, and he has a huge business empire waiting for him."
Seeing that the village chief of Hua'an Village still looked hesitant, Li Sixin added insult to injury.
"Now that the decision has been made, we can tell Mr. Xu in person. If we had made the same decision in a couple of days, we would have had to tell Mr. Xu. No matter how powerful Mr. Xu is, he can't outdo Mr. Xu in terms of personal relationships, and the favor wouldn't be the same."
After a three-second silence and staring at each other, the village chief of Hua'an Village rubbed his face hard with his rough hands, shoved Li Sixin aside, walked to the old broadcasting equipment, pressed the switch, and his loud voice, tinged with exasperation, echoed over Hua'an Village.
[All cadres of Hua'an Village, whether you're asleep or awake, come to the village office immediately! Cadres of Hua'an Village!]
Xu An, who was sitting at his desk writing furiously about the construction of the bakery, seemed to hear something and his ears twitched slightly.
But when he put down his pen and went to the window to listen carefully, the sound disappeared, leaving only the chirping of insects and birds, and the whistling of the autumn night wind.

On this night, a hashtag titled "[Rejected in job interview because of owning a house and a car]" quietly climbed to the top of the trending list.
When it first appeared, it was ranked 50th, which was precarious. It even fell off the hot list at one point, but it stubbornly returned to the 50th position.
After this happened several times, whether it was because it was suddenly discovered by netizens or because something else happened, the popularity of this topic skyrocketed, quickly climbing from 50th to 45th, 40th, and 27th.
In the end, it actually made it into the top ten, and has been in ninth place for an hour and a half now, and its popularity is still rising!
As the keyword ranked higher, more and more netizens paid attention to it and clicked on it, resulting in a surge in comments.
[A local with a house and a car—isn't that exactly the kind of person a cashier needs? Why don't you switch careers and become a cashier?]
[This company doesn't seem to be looking for the kind of 'stable' employees they're looking for, so their definition of a 'stable' employee is someone from out of town who doesn't own a house or a car?]
[This guy should be thankful he escaped a disaster! Judging from the HR's words, it's easy to tell that the manager is a pain, with long working hours and frequent business trips. The company is basically looking for locals with houses and cars, and out-of-towners without them. They're just looking for easy targets!]
