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

"Thank you, Third Brother. I will continue to work hard in the future. The change in position is not that important to me."

Deng Yuanen did not stay for long before taking his leave.

With mixed feelings, Fang Wei called Hu Linwei and asked him to follow the procedures and submit the proposal to adjust the management of the logistics company.

He will sign the proposal after seeing it.

However, he also mentioned his promise to Deng Yuanen, hoping that the logistics company's management could unite well and never allow a scene he did not want to see to occur.

"Secretary, you can rest assured about that. General Manager Deng has a very high level of prestige in the company. His willingness to step down is a good thing in itself, and the situation you described is impossible. I can guarantee that!"

Hu Linwei was overjoyed. He had no personal grudges against Deng Yuanen; he was only thinking about the development of the logistics company.

Now that someone is willing to step down, he is not only happy but also full of admiration for Deng Yuanen. Even if Fang Wei doesn't say anything, he will not allow anyone to disrupt the company's stability.

"Alright, let's settle this then. Bye."

Fang Wei immediately ended the call, though she knew in her heart that Deng Yuanen's choice was right.

After so many years of development, many of the original brothers who started the business together have fallen behind.

But there's nothing he can do about it. As a company grows bigger and stronger, it will inevitably become more professional and institutionalized. In the future, the company will bring in more and more talented people, and situations like Deng Yuanen's will continue to occur.

When she got home that evening, Pan Lianhua could tell at a glance that the man seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Third Brother, what happened?"

"Nothing much, Yuan En just came to see me this afternoon."

Fang Wei explained Deng Yuanen's situation, and Pan Lianhua said she could understand.

"Besides personal reasons, I resigned from my position as the director of the bamboo ware factory because I felt my abilities could no longer keep up with the company's development needs. There's not much to think about in this matter; wouldn't it be a win-win situation if Yuan En stepped down?"

She shared her own experience as an example.

Fang Wei nodded. He had always understood his wife's thoughts and supported her actions.

The company actually takes good care of these veteran employees; even if they retire, they can be given a good position. If someone resigns like Pan Lianhua, they will receive a generous severance package based on their years of service and position.

“You’re right, there’s no need to overthink this.”

Fang Wei smiled, and just then her older sister called them to eat, so the two of them stopped talking.

A few days passed quickly.

Yang Feng reported the sales results of "Yu Xiang No. 2" to Fang Wei again.

"Chairman, our [Yuxiang No. 2] corn is selling very well and has completely suppressed the momentum of Xinkaiqi corn seeds. In addition, the Tiannan oil mill has officially started operation and is currently growing well."

"Everyone did a great job! How are the sales of [Nanfeng Wheat 327]?"

The peak sales season for various seeds has passed; rice seeds, for example, have sold out, while wheat seed sales have remained lukewarm.

Fang Wei was also quite anxious.

"The sales of Nanfeng Wheat 327 have improved recently. After two years of promotion, many growers have realized the advantages of this wheat, and its market share is increasing."

【Nanfeng Wheat 327】The research and development process was full of twists and turns, and it took overcoming many difficulties to successfully develop it.

However, no one expected that the wheat seeds would perform poorly after hitting the market, with sales only showing a significant increase last month.

Fang Wei nodded, quite pleased. After all, everyone had invested a great deal of effort in [Nanfeng Wheat 327], and it would be truly heartbreaking if it weren't accepted by the market.

Sales are picking up now, and the future looks promising.

"Assistant Yang, I'm planning to go to Shenzhen in the next couple of days. Pack your things and come with me. Let Secretary Du stay behind."

Fang Wei was thinking about the seawater rice when Wang Muqi called to say that the newly cultivated seawater rice was about to be harvested, and he planned to go and take a look.

"Okay, I'm ready to go anytime."

Yang Feng had become accustomed to this life of running around. In fact, he wielded considerable power and was a well-known figure within the group company.

Generally speaking, Fang Wei would take him with him wherever he went, so that it would be convenient to handle company affairs.

Two days later.

Fang Wei and Yang Feng then arrived at the seawater rice experimental field.

At this time, Wang Muqi and others were harvesting a new round of seawater rice, and after screening, they selected the varieties that were finally worth cultivating.

"Secretary, look, isn't the variety we chose pretty good?"

Upon meeting Fang Wei, Wang Muqi presented her with a bag of seawater rice seeds as if they were a precious treasure.

Judging from their appearance alone, these seeds are of high quality, but the final result will depend on planting and verification.

"It looks alright. Bring me the planting records so I can take a look."

Fang Wei then checked the planting records and found that Wang Muqi and others' breeding process was very standardized and there were no problems.

At this moment, Yang Feng walked over and said, "Chairman, Professor Ma called you earlier. Please call him back when it's convenient for you."

Fang Wei nodded, then asked Wang Muqi some more detailed questions before going to his office to call Professor Ma.

"Secretary Fang, the seawater rice seeds you sent us last time have been tested after planting. To be honest, we were really surprised by how quickly you've made progress." "Professor Ma, the seeds last time were only the first round of screening. Now the seeds I have here have gone through the second round of screening. I'll send them to you later, and I'd appreciate it if you could help me verify them."

Without any unnecessary words, the two sides quickly clarified their next research direction in a few sentences.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Wei asked Wang Muqi to select some seeds and send them to Professor Ma and Professor Lin, and then to start the third round of cultivation as soon as possible.

The timeframe is a bit tight, but with the added attribute bonuses, another round of training this year shouldn't be a problem.

a few days later.

The harvesting and screening work was completed at the experimental field, and some of the seawater rice seeds were sent to Professor Ma and others.

Fang Wei went to the village and met with the person in charge, planning to lease another 200 mu of tidal flats for trial planting of seawater rice.

“Secretary Fang, I can give you 200 mu of tidal flats for free, but I have one condition: once your seawater rice is fully developed, I will have the right to purchase the seeds first.”

The village party secretary, surnamed Tang, is around 50 years old and usually takes good care of Wang Muqi and others.

He would often come to the experimental field to browse, showing great interest in this seawater rice. He had tasted it; the flavor was indeed quite ordinary, but what more could one ask for when it could be grown in high-salinity tidal flats?
"Thank you, Secretary Tang. No need for a free service; just rent it to me at the normal price. As for the future, once the seawater rice research is successful, I will definitely give you priority consideration. How about that?"

Fang Wei was unwilling to take advantage of the situation, and Secretary Tang did not force her.

Since mudflats are worthless and cannot be used to grow other crops, he symbolically charged a small rent and sent people to help Wang Muqi and others build an irrigation system.

The planting area of ​​200 mu was not large, and Wang Muqi and others quickly completed the planting of seawater rice.

Fang Wei then led Yang Feng back to the village to rest for a while.

"Lotus, let's go mushroom picking in the mountains tomorrow."

Rest doesn't necessarily mean staying at home. Calculating the time, the swan mushrooms were already ripe, so he asked Pan Lianhua to go into the mountains with him.

Pan Lianhua was indeed very happy and agreed without even thinking.

"Okay, I've been feeling really bored these past couple of days."

So the two of them discussed it and decided to wander around in the mountains first, have dry rations for lunch, and then go pick swan mushrooms after noon.

The next day.

The two drove up the mountain together and first arrived at the experimental forest.

"Secretary Fang, are you here to inspect our work?"

Forestry company employees were transplanting saplings here, and they greeted Fang Wei from afar.

"Just look around, you guys do your thing, don't worry about us."

Fang Wei responded to each of them with a smile, and then took a walk around the experimental forest with Pan Lianhua.

Currently, more than half of the seedlings in the experimental forest are camellia trees, and there are also some precious trees, such as yew, nanmu, and silver fir.

This year, Fang Wei arranged for people to sow seeds twice in the experimental forest. The saplings covering the mountains and fields are almost all taller than a person, enough to meet the workload of the forestry company for more than a year.

The forestry company currently has two key tasks: replacing wild forest tree species and transplanting seedlings from contracted forest land in various townships.

Neither of these tasks can be rushed; they will take at least three to five years to complete.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua didn't stay long at the experimental forest. After taking a quick look around, they got into their car and drove straight to Shenxian Valley.

After parking the car outside the valley, the two leisurely climbed the stone steps all the way to the top of the mountain. To be honest, he didn't have that much time; otherwise, he could climb the mountain every day.

Hiking is also a great form of exercise; it allows you to breathe fresh air, and most importantly, it puts you in a good mood.

After descending from the mountaintop, the two did not linger and instead drove to the pine forest.

Upon arriving at their destination, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua sat down to rest for more than half an hour, and also ate something and drank some water.

evening.

The two returned home.

Picking mushrooms was an easy task for the two of them. The reason they were only back at this hour was because Fang Wei had gone to catch wild rabbits, which had taken up some time.

Today's harvest was good: a large basket of swan mushrooms and three wild rabbits.

"Sister, add two more dishes for dinner."

Pan Lianhua carried a wild rabbit and some swan mushrooms to the kitchen. Fang Wei emptied the remaining mushrooms from his basket and spread them out in the yard to prevent them from spoiling by tomorrow.

The dinner menu included an extra dish of spicy rabbit and a stir-fried swan mushroom.

"Chairman, are you having lunch?"

The three of them had just sat down and started eating when Yang Feng hurriedly walked in from outside.

Fang Wei was off today, but several important calls came in, so Yang Feng had to make the trip.

"Assistant Yang hasn't eaten yet, has he? Come, sit down and have something to eat, don't be shy."

Pan Lianhua responded first, then gestured for Yang Feng to sit down before getting up to serve him a bowl of rice. (End of Chapter)
