Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Reason
The following dream was chaotic and complicated. Han Lin felt that it was him, but it seemed not to be him.
"Yang Dai." Han Lin shouted.
The woman in the middle of the river raised her head, and Han Lin saw her face more clearly, but at a glance, he knew that this person was not Yang Dai.
Although the other person had a face exactly like Yang Dai's, it was definitely not him.
But considering that face, Han Lin continued, "Why did you jump into the river?"
Jumping into the river to commit suicide is self-deprecating. If it were Yang Dai, she would never do such a thing.
The answer given by the girl also made Han Lin a little impatient.
My work is not going well, my marriage is not going well, and I am being ridiculed by others, so I want to end it all.
After listening to this, Han Lin sneered in his heart, what a coward, only a coward would do such a thing.
But then I thought about myself and realized that I was the coward right now.
If he were a real man, he should fight the current emperor to the end. If he succeeds, the emperor will die and the prince will ascend the throne with full legitimacy.
But Han Lin didn't want to do this. The prince did have his own team, but he didn't want his uncle to sacrifice himself for him.
And if he was really a coward and had admiration for the emperor, then he should have accepted his fate, pretended to know nothing about the emperor's poisoning, and died in the end.
But he just couldn't do that.
Unable to live, and unwilling to die, Han Lin felt like he was being hung in mid-air.
Think about it this way, what qualifications does he have to call others cowards? He is worse than a coward.
A coward at least dares to die, but he doesn't even dare to die, after all, there are things in this world that he is attached to.
"Go back. Things are only going badly temporarily. Things will get better and better." Han Lin stared at the people in the center of the river, thought for a moment, and continued.
Although this person's life or death has nothing to do with me, if I watch that face slowly being submerged by the river without doing anything.
Han Lin admitted that he couldn't do it.
The girl in the center of the river did not listen to Han Lin, and Han Lin lost his patience. Looking at her face, he tried to persuade her with a few words, but that was all he could say. He could not do more.
Han Lin didn't want to speak anymore, and the girl let the river water slowly drown her.
Suddenly, another voice interrupted, "Yang Dai, if you agree to my request, I can guarantee you a different life."
Han Lin was horrified when he heard the voice. He was sure that he was the only one in this place. Even though he had just been talking to Yang Dai in the middle of the river, the distance between them was like a mirror.
One is inside the mirror and the other is outside the mirror.
But now this voice seemed to be right next to him, and it seemed to come from him.
But Han Lin confirmed that he did not make any noise at all.
"Change your life?" Yang Dai in the center of the river seemed a little hesitant and looked up again to find the source of the voice.
"Go to a new place, you can get an enviable job, and with a job, everything will be fine." The man spoke slowly, with a hint of temptation in his tone.
"What do you want me to do?" Yang Dai seemed moved by the voice and began to ask about the situation.
"Go back to the river bank. The next time you meet this person, you will know what to do." The voice did not say much, but seemed to let Yang Dai in the center of the river see something, and then the other party took one deep step and one shallow step and returned to the shore.
Although Han Lin heard the entire conversation, he was still confused.
Yang Dai's shadow has disappeared in front of Han Lin, and now Han Lin can only see the shadow of the nine-story pagoda.
However, the shadow had dissipated a lot more than before, and the spire that had been shining brightly before was now almost invisible.
"This is your chance. Whether you're lucky enough to seize it depends on your own luck."
"Luck? Fortune?" Han Lin laughed. He had never had such a thing.
The voice seemed to have completely disappeared, and there was no movement at all, but Han Lin knew that his consciousness was still in the dream and had not yet dissipated.
And the shadow of the basil just now seemed to be gradually easing.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Lin saw Yang Dai again.
Still by the river, he slipped and fell into the water, but another young man passed by and rescued him. Han Lin saw the man's face. It was himself, or rather, it was his original self.
"Is this the opportunity you made me wait for?" In a daze, Han Lin seemed to hear the voice of Yang Dai, who had already fainted.
Han Lin did not hear the male voice's response, but Yang Dai obviously heard it and it quickly disappeared.
Then Han Lin also heard the male voice: "The opportunity has been created, it just depends on whether you have luck."
Han Lin ignored the voice and only raised his doubts: "What is the relationship between me and Han Lin from the Huangzhuang Brigade?"
"There are two sides to the same coin. The opportunity is right before our eyes, so seize it."
"Why did you let me see this? What good will it do you to help me?"
"Benefits? It's just that it's rare to see someone who is destined to be with you."
When the voice died down, the shadow of the nine-story pagoda in front of Han Lin completely disappeared, and only the dilapidated tower that was already incomplete could be seen.
Han Lin looked at the tower, slowly closed his eyes, and finally woke up from the dream.
He thought he knew why he and Yang Dai traveled through time.
It turned out that the cup of poisoned wine was his chance.
Han Lin's lips curled up, and a smile couldn't help but appear in his eyes. Even his heartbeat was much faster than usual.
It was already dawn. Han Lin made himself some food, went to say hello to the Yang and Han families, and rode his bike to the food factory.
He is going to the capital to meet Yang Dai today.
When Han Lin arrived at the food factory, the head of the sales department had not arrived yet, but Zheng Huasheng had already started supervising the workers loading the trucks in the workshop.
This was a small-scale shipment, and it was the first day. Zheng Huasheng was a little nervous, and after loading the goods, he planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look. After all, it was a new product, and he had to check the shipment volume.
"The samples are ready, come with me to get them." Zheng Huasheng waved at Han Lin and asked Han Lin to follow him to get the samples.
The sample was packaged very delicately, in a neatly shaped box with the name of the pastry written on it.
Han Lin followed Zheng Huasheng's instructions, opened the package and took a look. There were nine pastries neatly placed in the box.
Moreover, the packaging was completely different from the shipping packaging Han Lin had just seen at the door.
The food factory must have temporarily ordered a batch of molds, which were exactly right for the nine positions for pastries. The pastries were also printed with the word "Fu" (blessing), which Han Lin had never seen in the workshop before.
In just over a day, Zheng Huasheng produced all of these. Han Lin sincerely began to admire the efficiency of the food factory, and also became more aware of Zheng Huasheng's hopes for this batch of pastries.
"We decided in the meeting that we'll use two types of packaging. The one we just shipped is a simple package with five pieces in it, and it's a bit cheaper."
"This kind of expensive packaging makes the pastries less likely to break, and it will also be more prestigious when given as gifts. Big cities should prefer this," Zheng Huasheng explained.
Zheng Huasheng prepared samples of both types of packaging, but he secretly hoped to promote pastries with more exquisite packaging in big cities like the capital.
Although the packaging cost has increased, the profit has also increased a little.
"Sales in the capital are not easy. If there is no progress at the beginning, you don't have to worry." Zheng Huasheng was worried that Han Lin's mentality would be unbalanced, so he specially comforted him.
I saw the head of the sales department coming over. After meeting him, I exchanged a few brief words with him before turning around and going back to my own work.
Although the head of the sales department did not think that Han Lin could accomplish anything, he did not intend to bully Han Lin deliberately. He just divided the samples into two parts, one for him and one for Han Lin, and then sold them separately when the time came.
Anyway, the capital is so big that there is more than one department store and supply and marketing cooperative.
Han Lin fully agreed with the sales chief's behavior. If two people were tied together all the time when going out to sell, it would not be a good thing.
"When you go out to sell, you must be bold and careful. You must say what you need to say, but you must not lose face for our food factory." On the train, the head of the sales department thought about it and gave some advice.
Although he didn't expect Han Lin to be able to sell the product, Han Lin was going to the capital with him after all. If Han Lin failed to complete the work and still embarrassed himself, he, the section chief, would be the one who would be embarrassed when he returned to the factory.
"Don't worry, I know." Han Lin said, and shared a handful of pumpkin seeds with the head of the sales department.
This was stuffed into the package by Han's mother before going out this morning. Han Lin had no interest in these things and never ate them.
Seeing Han Lin's good attitude, the head of the sales department didn't say anything else. His attitude towards Han Lin softened a lot and he even took the initiative to teach him some sales skills he had summarized.
When the two arrived at the Capital Guesthouse, it was already completely dark. They had no desire to go out for dinner, so they just ordered a pot of hot water and ate the sesame cakes prepared by their family.
Han Lin was in a state of excitement the whole time. Even on the train, he didn't feel tired at all, let alone hungry.
After eating a few bites, I went to borrow the hotel’s phone number to contact Yang Dai.
At this moment, Yang Dai was having dinner with the leaders of the aviation department.
Although it has only been a few days, the first batch of trained flight attendants can already see a big change in their spirit and energy compared to before.
Moreover, today Yang Dai also proposed improvements to the flight attendants' uniforms. Although the leaders have not yet officially decided whether to adopt Yang Dai's opinion, the fact that Yang Dai had this idea was already a great surprise.
Besides, the leader has other thoughts about this meal.
Originally, I just wanted Yang Dai to come and train the flight attendants for a period of time as a temporary worker. After the training, Yang Dai could go home.
But now the leaders are reluctant to let her go, they want Yang Dai to stay.
This idea was also tentatively raised at the dinner table.
Nowadays, many people envy jobs in the aviation sector, especially the position of flight attendant, who flies international flights, gets to meet important people, and has first-class benefits.
If Yang Dai is willing to stay, her salary can definitely be raised a little more.
The leaders originally thought that after talking about various benefits, Yang Dai would most likely stay.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this matter was brought up, Yang Dai politely declined.
She has no interest in being a flight attendant.
"What do you want to do next? Go back to your county and continue working in the food factory?" The leader said this with some regret.
Working in a food factory in the county town and being a flight attendant in the capital are completely different levels.
There is no distinction between high and low occupations, all of which contribute to the country. However, one is in the capital and the other is in a county. Although both can be transferred to urban household registration, the gap between the two is still huge.
How many people have worked hard all their lives just to get transferred to the capital for work, but when such an opportunity was presented to Yang Dai, she didn't seem to be tempted at all.
"Are you worried that if you are transferred to the capital, you will be separated from your lover? If so, we can also make the transfer as appropriate." The leader was unwilling to give up a talent like Yang Dai and continued to persuade her earnestly.
Moreover, this leader had met Han Lin once when Yang Dai was interviewing earlier, and vaguely remembered that he was a handsome man with a tall stature, not much different from the talents specially selected for flight attendants.
Although flight attendant positions are now very limited, there are still many people who are using various connections to try to transfer here.
But these can all be coordinated. For the sake of Yang Dai's talent, we can open up an additional vacancy and allow Han Lin to come as a temporary worker.
Once the flight attendant department is fully settled, we will definitely recruit more people. It will then be easier to convert temporary workers into regular employees.
"In this way, you don't have to worry about you and your wife living apart. Our base has just been built and there are dormitories. You and your wife will be specially approved to live in the same dormitory." The leader felt that he had taken into account everything that could be considered. Yang Dai no longer had any worries, so she should be interested in this job.
But Yang Dai still did not agree. However, Yang Dai also knew the leader's good intentions and was worried that her direct refusal would disappoint the leader. She just said that the matter was of great importance and no matter what, she still needed to discuss it with her family.
The leader didn't expect Yang Dai to agree without thinking, but at least he saw some hope.
Yang Dai said goodbye to her leader and returned to the dormitory. Soon after, she heard someone calling her and there was a phone call for her in the message room.
Today was not the time they had agreed to call, and it was already so late. Yang Dai quickened her pace, thinking something had happened at home.
But the moment Yang Dai heard Han Lin greet her, another idea popped into her mind.
Although it seemed a little unbelievable, I still asked, "Have you arrived in the capital?"
Han Lin laughed. He knew that Yang Dai would not be able to hide the fact of his phone call, but he still couldn't help himself.
Besides, even if he wanted to appear in front of Yang Dai directly and give her a surprise, it would depend on whether Yang Dai had the time.
Moreover, Yang Dai had said before that their base was temporarily closed during this period of time. If there was nothing important, Yang Dai would not leave the base easily.
"What reason did you find to come here?" Although Han Lin on the other end of the phone just smiled, Yang Dai knew that she was right.
"I came to the capital to find a new way to promote the food factory's new products." Han Lin couldn't stop smiling. "Are you free tomorrow?"
Yang Dai smiled, "There's one in the afternoon, but you're planning to come see me on your first day in the capital? Aren't you going to work properly?"
"I'll come to see you tomorrow and it won't delay my work." Han Lin said with confidence, having already made plans for tomorrow.
The two agreed on a time to meet tomorrow, then said good night to each other and hung up the phone.
When Han Lin returned to his room at the guesthouse, the head of the sales department had already washed up and was about to lie down. Seeing Han Lin return with a smile on his face, he jokingly said, "Young people have a lot of energy and are homesick. You couldn't help but make a phone call right after arriving in the capital, didn't you?"
When business trips become a common occurrence for someone like him, he would only remember to bring some local specialties home when he returns home, and would never call home on the first day he arrives.
"This is a map of the capital. There are several department stores and famous factories on it. Take a look first." After spending time together along the way and sharing the handful of melon seeds, the section chief's impression of Han Lin has improved.
No matter what, Han Lin at least doesn't look like a fool. He knows when to advance and when to retreat, and knows what to say and what not to say.
"Look at the map and choose which area you want to run. We will run separately then." The section chief emphasized again.
Han Lin was familiar with the map of the capital, as he had gone out quite often when he came to the capital before.
"Chief, I'll choose the west part of the city." Han Lin made a quick decision. Facing the chief's somewhat surprised look, Han Lin tapped his finger on the map and explained, "My wife works here. I've finally made it to the capital, and I want to see her."
The section chief nodded in a daze, then he remembered that Han Lin's wife was a celebrity in their food factory. Although she was still a temporary worker, Director Zheng Huasheng would always praise her every time the factory held a meeting.
During a previous meeting, Director Zheng had said that the factory was able to successfully develop new products thanks to the recipe provided by the other party.
Yang Dai seldom goes to the food factory, and even if she does, she rarely meets the head of the sales department. Han Lin is even more of a stranger to the sales department.
That's why the section chief didn't remember the relationship between the two for a moment.
He patted Han Lin on the shoulder and said, "You and your wife are both capable comrades."
Although the section chief is not yet clear about Han Lin's abilities, he is willing to give this compliment just for Yang Dai's sake.
Then he pointed at the map and said, "Although the department store in the area you chose isn't as good as the other one, it also has two famous factories with tens of thousands of people working there. You should walk around more often."
It would certainly be good if pastries could be sold in department stores, with a steady supply and separate counters, allowing everyone to know about this good thing.
However, it is difficult to find the purchasing department of a department store, especially in a place like the capital where they are unfamiliar with the place. It is even more difficult to open up sales channels, so the factory is actually a good choice for them.
Especially for a large factory like this with tens of thousands of employees, even if they can only negotiate employee benefits once, it will definitely be a big deal for the food factory in the county.
If it was five minutes ago, the section chief would never have said these words to Han Lin, but now this is a good opportunity to establish a good relationship.
