Chapter 146 A Perfect Match

"Currently, we're in sixth place, but my uncle says we definitely won't be at the bottom this time."
This year's rainfall was more abundant than last year, and the crops and fertilizer in the fields have kept up. We even have a few extra acres, so we definitely won't be at the bottom!

As Li Yanhong talked about this year's harvest, she gradually forgot her anger from earlier.

Seeing that she hadn't understood what she meant, Ji Sisi didn't bring it up again.

She has plenty of ways to deal with Zhang Qiang.

Lu County.

Knowing that she was going to see County Chief Wei today, Ji Sisi rushed to the commune early in the morning to catch the car with Director Yan.

Half a month later, Ji Sisi returned to the county magistrate's office.

This time was a little different; Director Yan next to him didn't seem as nervous, as if the previous times had gotten him used to it.

Ji Sisi and Director Yan had only been in the office for less than three minutes, and hadn't even had a chance to sit down, when Secretary Lin returned and opened the door.

County Chief Wei, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit, greeted everyone with a broad smile as soon as he entered the room.

"Director Yan, is this the outstanding talent from your organization?"

Director Yan hurriedly stood up, followed closely by Ji Sisi. The two nodded and bowed to greet each other.

"Sit down, everyone sit down and let's talk." County Magistrate Wei looked at Secretary Lin at the door.

Upon receiving the signal, Secretary Lin immediately brewed tea for the two of them and left after serving the tea.

"County Chief Wei, this is the final version of the plan that Ji Sisi and I revised. Please take a look." Director Yan carefully placed the documents on the table from his briefcase.

County Chief Wei took it, flipped through it, and asked Ji Sisi a question while he was reading.

"How did Comrade Ji suddenly come up with this idea? As far as I know, you seem to be from Jianghai, and your husband is not a local either."

Ji Sisi's heart clenched when she was asked the question.

She began to use her status as an outsider to promote her ideas.

“In my hometown, there is a kind of braised duck. I don’t know if County Chief Wei has heard of it. The braised duck is made by slaughtering, removing the internal organs, marinating, roasting, and finally air-drying and storing in bags.”

Not only does it have a long shelf life, but it's also a ready-to-eat food. People can simply open it and eat it while on a long train journey or when they're too busy at work and want to save time. It's not only delicious, but it also satisfies the convenience of eating meat whenever one wants.

"I also came up with the idea for dried beef by referencing this."

County Chief Wei nodded, quite satisfied with her answer, and noticed that Shen Wanqing had mentioned standardized packaging on the last page of the plan.

County Chief Wei then asked, "Uniform packaging is a significant expense; what's the point of it?"

Ji Sisi then answered County Chief Wei's question.

Time passed by, and Director Yan watched as Ji Sisi answered County Chief Wei's questions with ease.

He felt a sense of relief and pride.

In the end, County Chief Wei was very satisfied with Ji Sisi's answers and solutions.

He chuckled and joked, "You young people are truly remarkable; your minds are getting sharper and sharper."

"I have one last question: if you had the opportunity, would you be willing to work for me?"

Ji Sisi and Director Yan were both stunned.

If Ji Sisi agrees, County Chief Wei can easily transfer her from the commune to the county committee with just a word.

Yan Zhu looked at Ji Sisi, also expecting her answer.

Coming here is so much better than the commune, especially since Ji Sisi is appreciated by County Chief Wei.

County Chief Wei's question made Ji Sisi's brain race as she considered how to politely refuse.

“I’m sorry, County Chief Wei, but the commune needs me more right now, and I was the one who proposed this plan. If there’s an opportunity to implement it, I’d like to take charge personally. No one knows better than me how to do it.”

County Chief Wei wasn't surprised by Ji Sisi's answer. He laughed heartily, quite satisfied with her response. "I hope you and Director Yan won't disappoint me," County Chief Wei said, closing the proposal.

After leaving the county town, Director Yan took Ji Sisi to the machinery factory.

Ji Sisi had just finished designing the product when Director Yan delivered the draft to the machinery factory the very next day.

The product was completed in one day.

"Old Yan, what are you making this for?"

Director Yan said mysteriously, "You'll find out later."

Minister Wang from the production department of the machinery factory sent a few people to deliver the goods.

The machine was huge and heavy; Ji Sisi and Director Yan definitely couldn't pull it back.

"Old Wang, could you ask the transport team to help us get back? I'll pay for the transport costs, okay?"

Seeing that Director Yan and Minister Wang were acquaintances, Ji Sisi didn't interrupt.

She was studying the iron frame on the side. It seemed so complicated when she was drawing it, but the finished product looked much simpler.

This rack is mainly used to hang meat for air drying. There are hundreds of small hooks in total, with one hook for each piece of meat. Three racks were custom-made, which is more than enough for one cow.

After all, three pounds of raw beef can only make one pound of beef jerky. When it is air-dried or oven-dried, the moisture will be lost and the meat will become firmer.

"Sisi, I've made the arrangements. We'll take their car back later. Is there anything else you need in the county town?"

Considering the distance between the county seat and the countryside, Director Yan deliberately postponed his departure by two hours.

If Ji Sisi is alright, he will talk to someone again to say that he can leave early. He can't wait to go back to the institute to conduct experiments.

“Then I’ll go to the agricultural supplies office. I feel a little guilty taking other people’s salaries without doing any work.”

Besides, Chen Chen did her such a big favor, so she should definitely thank him.

"Go ahead, drive carefully, and remember to be back by 2 o'clock. We'll leave at 2:30."

Ji Sisi nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

Coincidentally, Ji Sisi ran into Song Yiping as soon as she stepped out.

"Sisi?"

Ji Sisi had only walked a short distance when she seemed to hear someone calling her name.

Song Yiping also came out of the machinery factory. I thought she was seeing things, but it turned out to be Ji Sisi.

"Sister Ping, are you at the machinery factory on business?"

"Yes, the bureau needs a batch of repair parts, and the only place that has them is the machinery factory. Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Zhizhi and I thought you were still in your hometown."

Song Yiping was quite surprised.

Ji Sisi smiled sheepishly and quickly apologized, explaining that she had only been back for two days.

Song Yiping didn't hold it against her; instead, she shared some incredibly good news.

"Remember to come to our house on the eighth day of next month. Zhizhi and my brother have something to take care of!"

Song Yiping's face was beaming with smiles, showing that she was genuinely pleased with Zhang Zhizhi becoming her brother's wife.

"Zhizhi and Changgui, so fast?" Ji Sisi was surprised and incredulous upon hearing this.

The two seemed to be having an affair, but Ji Sisi didn't expect things to develop so quickly.

Once Ji Sisi calmed down, she felt as if she wasn't qualified to say others were so fast, considering that she and Qi Yan had a whirlwind marriage.

They confirmed their relationship in less than a day and got their marriage certificate in half a month.

"It's like a turtle eyeing a mung bean; once they hit it off, that's it," Song Yiping said with a smile. "I thought Changgui would be a bachelor for life, but I never expected these two to make it work."
