Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

After the clearing work was completed, Cai Tong had these people sign and affix their fingerprints, and at the same time, each administrative village also signed new contracting agreements with them.

All the formalities were complete, just in case, in case these people changed their minds one day.

“Secretary, I plan to go back to the provincial capital after lunch. These people are really short-sighted, but we still need to be careful that no one follows their example.”

Cai Tong was still a little worried. If members kept leaving the cooperative, wouldn't the cooperative be in trouble?

"It's good if more people leave, the income of the remaining members will increase significantly. Mr. Cai, when you go back, think more about how to get revenge on Xin Kaiqi. That guy is like an unkillable cockroach, he jumps out to oppose me every few years."

New Kaiqi is now not even in the same league as Yaoling Agriculture.

However, they have the support of international giants behind them. Yaoling Agriculture can have an advantage over them, but it cannot completely defeat them in the short term.

Xinkaiqi has fallen behind in corn seeds, vegetable seeds and other aspects, and is still far from catching up with Yaoling Agriculture.

As a result, the other party started resorting to underhanded tactics, intending to dismantle the three cooperatives from within.

Besides the unique characteristics of Yao villages, both the Yaoling Cooperative and the Tian Bingyi Cooperative have members with wavering stances, and some even aid and abet wrongdoing.

Fang Wei and others handled this matter swiftly and decisively, which greatly shocked most of the colonel's members.

But if those who are dismissed or voluntarily withdrawn make a lot of money in the future, the profit-making effect alone will be enough to cause the cooperative to fall apart.

Therefore, after Cai Tong and the others left, Fang Wei did not hesitate to cancel the land designation for those people and directly removed their land from the [planting area].

This was the first time he had used such drastic measures, and at this critical juncture, he could not afford to be merciful in the slightest.

The crops for this season have already been planted in the fields. The revocation of the designation will have some impact on their harvest, but not a significant one. The full effects will become apparent next year, and if they still want to cultivate the Nanguang series of rice varieties, it will inevitably end in failure.

After finishing these tasks, Fang Wei wanted to go out for a walk, so he took his family to the Sanqing Temple.

"Third brother, you don't seem very happy. What's wrong this time?"

Sun Daoren was very happy, but in his happiness he also noticed Fang Wei's emotional problems.

Fang Wei may not seem to have changed much on the surface, but she actually has something on her mind.

"It's not a difficult thing, it's just that something unpleasant happened before."

Fang Wei didn't hide anything and told Sun Daoren about the fact that some people had withdrawn from the cooperative.

Sun Daoren smiled slightly and said, "People die for wealth and birds die for food, that's normal. I think this is a good thing. It's like New Cage has helped you filter out unstable people, and these people will eventually become disloyal to you."

"Yes, it's definitely a good thing. I'm just wondering if the collective economy model is really no longer suitable for the present?"

“Look, the vast majority of people have stayed in the cooperative, which means that the collective economy model is still recognized by the majority of people. Third brother, don’t think too much about it. Things will work themselves out. You can control the situation.”

Sun Daoren is very optimistic. He has lived in the village for so many years and his perspective on problems is different from Fang Wei's.

Fang Wei had burdens, but he didn't. He felt that since he was determined to do something, he should just keep doing it. Even if he failed, with Fang Wei's abilities, how could he possibly starve?

Perhaps without these burdens, he could have achieved great success.

Fang Wei nodded and said no more.

The family spent the night on the mountain, and the next day they strolled around the surrounding scenic areas before returning home in the evening.

We got back quite late, and my sister cooked a few bowls of noodles for us to eat.

After dinner, the phone rang suddenly at home.

"Hello. Who is this?"

"Secretary Fang, this is Fan Zhipeng. I hope I haven't disturbed you?"

Surprisingly, the call was from Fan Zhipeng.

"No offense intended, but is there anything I can help you with?"

Fang Wei hadn't seen Fan Zhipeng since he was fired. Later, when he heard that Fan had run away to avoid debts, he cursed, "Serves him right."

He was reluctant to talk to the other party when they suddenly called.

“Secretary Fang, I know I did something wrong, and I don’t ask for your forgiveness. I’m making this call for no particular reason; it’s just that I’ve come full circle back to the crossroads I saw years ago.”

I just want to tell you that some mistakes are only made once in a lifetime, and I will never make them again. I also want to ask you to help me tell my creditors that I will definitely pay back the debts.

Fan Zhipeng had been restless ever since he met with Boss Li that day.

If he were to work for Boss Li, it would be tantamount to harming his current boss, and he really couldn't bear to do that. His current boss treated him very well, and being a human being, he felt a strong sense of guilt.

But the terms offered by Boss Li were too tempting for him to refuse. If he sided with Boss Li, he might be able to pay off all his debts in a few years and never have to hide away again.

After much internal struggle, Fan Zhipeng decided to act like a decent human being. Before going to confess to his current boss, Fan Zhipeng inexplicably made a phone call to Fang Wei.

This mindset is hard to describe; even he himself can't explain it clearly.

"Okay, I'll tell the creditor. I hope you keep your word. That's all for now, I'm hanging up."

Fan Zhipeng's actions amounted to a betrayal of the company and of Fang Wei. Fang Wei has no reason to forgive him, nor will she sympathize with him; the two can never go back to what they were before.

But since the other party sincerely admitted his mistake, he agreed to help Fan Zhipeng pass on a message to the creditors, and then hung up.

"Third Brother, is Fan Zhipeng out of his mind? How dare he call you?"

Pan Lianhua overheard part of the phone call and couldn't help but make a comment.

"Making a phone call is fine, but I hope he can make the right decision."

Fang Wei smiled but didn't offer any further explanation.

He could more or less guess Fan Zhipeng's thoughts, but he didn't want to say it out loud.

The next day.

Fang Weiyi arrived at the office early and immediately made several phone calls.

The creditors had mixed feelings upon receiving news of Fan Zhipeng, but Fang Wei said he had only received a phone call and didn't know where the caller was.

The group expressed their gratitude to Fang Wei, and could only place their hopes on Fan Zhipeng's promise.

For Fang Wei, this was a trivial matter, and he quickly forgot about it.

Cai Tong began targeting New Kaiqi in various ways in the market, but Fang Wei didn't interfere. He was confident that the company's management could handle such matters.

After processing a few documents in the office, he went to visit several brigades.

In reality, very few members in each brigade want to withdraw from the cooperative; at least so far, the cooperative has not received any new applications.

This incident has had a significant impact on Yaoling Agriculture. The company's three shareholders are essentially three cooperatives. If the cooperatives show signs of instability, it's inevitable that morale within the company will waver.

Some people in the company also subtly raised the issue of restructuring, but Fang Wei did not agree.

“Secretary, that’s the land that was returned to the people who were cleared out. We don’t bully people. The land we returned to them was not only sufficient in quantity, but it was also all top-quality paddy fields.”

During his wanderings, Fang Wei encountered the captain of the Third Brigade.

The other party took him to the edge of Datian. The paddy fields in this area were quite good, but they had been physically separated from Datian. According to the plan, all land returned to those who withdraw from the area would be concentrated here.

"Yes, be careful to keep your distance from them and avoid any disputes over the land."

Fang Wei nodded, satisfied with the clearing areas established by each brigade.

In this way, if a similar situation occurs again in the future, the farmland of the people being evicted can be gathered together for easier management.

Several of the eviction staff saw Fang Wei and quickly ducked away. After all, he held a high position of authority within the entire cooperative, and those people were still somewhat afraid of him.

Fang Wei pretended not to see it, and after walking around for a while, he went to the forestry brigade.

after a few days.

He received a call from Yu Hao and finally figured out why Fan Zhipeng had made that call that day.

After speaking with Fang Wei on the phone that day, Fan Zhipeng went to see his current boss and told him about Boss Li's plan to drain the factory's coffers.

There's room for maneuver in this kind of thing if you're unaware of it, but once it's exposed, you're likely to face retaliation from others.

Mr. Li fell into a trap set for him, but his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he suffered a great loss.

Fan Zhipeng's former boss was generous, rewarding him with 30 yuan and 5% of the company's shares, and even promoting him to factory manager.

"This matter has spread throughout Xiangshan. Fan Zhipeng has become famous in the Xiangshan lock industry. It looks like he will be able to turn his life around in a few years."

"His ability to turn things around is his own skill. We have nothing to do with Fan Zhipeng anymore, let's just go our separate ways."

Fang Wei felt that Fan Zhipeng had made the right decision, but he didn't care whether the other party could turn things around.

What good is turning things around? Some things, once they happen, can never be undone.

The hardware factory gradually recovered to its previous peak. The new factory manager, Lu, was an expert in the field and had also graduated from university. At forty years old, he was in his prime and had led the factory out of its previous gloom.

The hardware factory was still quite well-established. Even if Fan Zhipeng and a few other managers had ulterior motives, the vast majority of middle managers and workers were unaware of it.

Therefore, after Director Lu took office, he quickly turned the situation around.

This was all the work of Fan Zhipeng and his gang. Fang Wei was already being lenient by not chasing them all the way to Xiangshan; there was no way he could forgive them.

Time flies.

Binbin and Xiaojie returned to school one after another, and the house became quiet again.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua still went to get off work and came home every day, and occasionally went out to play, but they never went too far.

In the past two days, several major clients have visited the township. They are very interested in [Nongyou Boutique 016] and plan to sign purchase contracts in advance, with large-scale planting scheduled for next spring. (End of Chapter)
