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

Chapter 660 Lifetime Honorary Chairman, a Distinctive Status
The villa became lively in the evening, as Xiaojie's family of three and her in-laws came over.

Fang Wei ordered a table of dishes from a restaurant and had them delivered to their home. Everyone ate and chatted.

"Mom and Dad, I've gone back to work. It's so boring staying at home all day."

Xiao Jie rested at home for a year after giving birth. After all, she was a minor shareholder in the company and the boss treated her well, so she didn't face the risk of losing her job.

The one who lost his job was her husband, Cheng Xiaoyue, who had been laid off due to company restructuring.

"After a year off, I should definitely go back to work. Anyway, we have a nanny and someone to take care of the kids."

Fang Wei nodded, showing strong support for her daughter's return to the workforce.

Although the family is not in financial difficulty, Cheng Xiaoyue is currently unemployed, and Xiaojie going to work can alleviate some of the family's sense of crisis.

As for the baby, there's no need to worry about him/her. On the one hand, we have a nanny at home, and on the other hand, my mother-in-law often comes over to help.

“That’s good!”

Pan Lianhua glanced at her son-in-law's somewhat gloomy expression, unsure of how to offer any words of comfort.

Cheng Xiaoyue's parents have retired and can't help with this matter at all. The couple has been frequently visiting their son's home recently because they are worried that their son and daughter-in-law are having conflicts.

In fact, Xiaojie is very open-minded. Even if her husband couldn't find a job, she wouldn't complain.

"Xiaoyue, send me a copy of your resume later. I'll ask someone about it."

After eating and drinking their fill, the little guy got a bit sleepy, so Xiaojie and the others got up to say goodbye.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua saw them out. At the door, he suddenly said something to Cheng Xiaoyue.

"Oh? Okay, okay."

Cheng Xiaoyue was pleasantly surprised. He knew that his father-in-law had a wide network of connections, which was much better than him trying to do it himself.

The resume was readily available, so he took it out when he got home and delivered it to Fang Wei. They lived in the same neighborhood, so it was just a short walk away.

the next day.

Fang Wei invited Qin Sicheng to lunch, and then went to the experimental field.

“Secretary, we have been breeding the [Salted Bean 001] according to your requirements. We have harvested several batches of seeds so far, with a total yield of about 20 jin.”

The person in charge of the experimental field reported to Fang Wei and accompanied him to visit the field.

A complete cluster of greenhouses has been established here, and an additional 600 mu of tidal flats have been contracted from the village, bringing the total area to 1000 mu.

This area is mainly for experimentation, and large-scale planting is not being carried out.

"Okay, send all these seeds to Xiachu County later. Be careful with the transportation conditions and make sure they don't suffer any losses during transport."

Fang Wei instructed them to continue cultivating the [Nan Dou 001] seeds, and that the company would notify them in advance if there were any new experimental tasks.

Around noon, he went directly to the restaurant where he had arranged to meet Qin Sicheng.

"Secretary Fang, your idea is really out of the ordinary! The Northwest is very desolate, surrounded by deserts. Can you really get used to it?"

Qin Sicheng knew that the other party had resigned from the position of chairman of Yaoling Group, but he would not treat the other party differently.

Their relationship had long surpassed that of business partners; they were true friends. Furthermore, despite the other party leaving Yaoling Group, he still maintained considerable control over the company, with his people working throughout its operations.

The fact that the company awarded Fang Wei the title of "Honorary Chairman for Life" after he left Yaoling Group speaks volumes.

Qin Sicheng just felt that it was a waste of Fang Wei's talents to start a business in the Northwest.

"I've really gotten used to it. It wasn't until I got to the Northwest that I realized it's truly a treasure trove. My main focus now is on researching salt-tolerant crops; I don't have the resources for that in the South."

By the way, Mr. Qin, my son-in-law was laid off from his job. Do you think you could help him get back in? Here's his resume; take a look when you have time.

The two chatted as they ate. Qin Sicheng had recently given up alcohol, so they were both drinking juice today.

Fang Wei didn't stand on ceremony with the other party and directly took out Cheng Xiaoyue's resume and handed it to Qin Sicheng.

"You're bothering me with something so trivial? Anyone could handle it. What organization does he want to work for? How about coming to our port group?"

Qin Sicheng didn't take it seriously at all. With Fang Wei's strength and connections, how could his son-in-law lose his job? Wouldn't that be a joke?

However, since they had already asked, I couldn't refuse, so I casually opened the resume and took a look.

Cheng Xiaoyue has a bachelor's degree from a prestigious university and has extensive work experience.

Without a second thought, Qin Sicheng decided to arrange a position for Cheng Xiaoyue within the port group. It didn't have to be a direct match to his major; with the right qualifications, he could consider developing in other areas within the company.

“I’ll go back and ask him. If he doesn’t want to go to the port group, I’ll trouble you to help him find an internet company.”

Fang Wei didn't really care about any of this, but she wasn't sure if her son-in-law was obsessed with his profession, so she said something vague.

Qin Sicheng didn't care; to him, these were trivial matters.

After dinner, Fang Wei parted ways with the other person and went straight home.

He called Cheng Xiaoyue over and said, "I had lunch with your Uncle Qin at noon. He said he wants you to work at the port group. Are you willing?"

"Yes, yes! The port group's job is very stable, and I don't mind if the income is a little lower." Perhaps the job search during this period left Cheng Xiaoyue with a psychological shadow, and now he is considering issues very pragmatically.

He knew about his father-in-law's relationship with General Manager Qin of the port group, and that it was very difficult to get into the port group, so he wasn't going to be so pretentious as to insist on doing this or that.

"Well, I'm glad you're willing! The internet is booming all over the world now, and your expertise will definitely be useful in the port group. Do your job well, and don't bother President Qin unless it's something important."

Fang Wei gave a few instructions and then called Qin Sicheng.

Qin Sicheng told Cheng Xiaoyue to wait at home for news, and that he could report for duty by next week at the latest.

night.

Xiao Jie and her family of three came over for dinner, and she made a point of thanking her father.

"Don't say those things with that grinning face of yours. It makes you seem so fake and ignorant. Alright, Xiaoyue can start working at the port group next week. You should encourage him more."

Fang Wei rolled her eyes at Xiao Jie, too lazy to say anything more.

In fact, the daughter's family is quite well-off. They don't have a mortgage, nor do they need to support their elderly parents. They own a car and a house, so they have no problem making a living.

His main concern was that his daughter and son-in-law should not be too different from each other, as a man who is idle will cause a lot of family conflicts.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for help.

Despite his good relationship with Qin Sicheng, he will have to repay these favors in the future.

Time flies.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua stayed in Shenzhen for half a month. After Cheng Xiaoyue went to work smoothly, he, Pan Lianhua, and his sister returned to the village.

Next, Cai Tong, Hu Linwei, and others visited the family one after another, asking many questions and inquiring about the future development plan of Yaoling Group.

Although Fang Wei has resigned, he still holds the title of "Honorary Chairman for Life," so everyone's actions are justified.

He didn't want to say much, leaving it at that, and didn't interfere too much in the company's affairs.

Once things settled down at home, he would go hiking in Shenxiangu Valley with Pan Lianhua every day, living a carefree life. However, he kept in touch with Xia Chuxian every day, as he couldn't let his company get out of control.

【Salted Soybean 001】Salt-tolerant soybeans have passed the review and won several awards before the end of the year.

The significance of this crop is self-evident. It can change the planting structure in many places, and can be applied to some less severely saline-alkali land, which is equivalent to expanding the area of ​​arable land.

This is of epoch-making significance and has been sought after just like [Hai Dao 012].

"Boss, quite a few people have come to the company to buy seeds of [Sea Rice 012] and [Salted Bean 001]. Since the company's inventory is not large, I have only agreed to two companies and told the rest that we can supply them in bulk after next summer."

Yang Feng never expected to suddenly become so busy during this period.

After winning the award, [Salted Bean 001] received extensive coverage and interviews from national media outlets. Unexpected wealth fell from the sky, but unfortunately, the company's inventory was limited.

The seeds of 【Hai Dao 012】 are priced at 12.5 yuan per kilogram, and people are still scrambling to buy them.

The company currently has a limited stock of Haidao 012 rice seeds. To ensure its own production next year, it has only sold 200 million jin of Haidao 012 rice seeds, generating revenue of 2500 million yuan.

However, this situation will change significantly next year, as the breeding center's land area will expand to 5000 mu.

It can be further expanded if necessary.

However, Fang Wei had a clear understanding that the market size of seawater rice was very small in recent years, and the scale of breeding would not be very large either, so it was not advisable to blindly expand production capacity.

The current hype is just due to publicity and reports; the hype will soon fade away.

It's almost the end of the year.

The community held a council meeting to discuss the budget for rural development next year.

The cooperative sets aside a sum of money each year, which can be used to improve the village's living environment, increase investment in education, and for other purposes.

He usually doesn't attend meetings like this, but this year, since he had nothing else to do, he went to listen in, though he didn't offer any opinions.

After the meeting ended, Fang Wei and his elder brother Fang Ping left the conference room together.

"Big brother, how have you been lately?"

Fang Wei has been busy since he returned. He has seen his elder brother a few times, but he hasn't had a chance to have a deep conversation with him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two went to Fang Wei's office together. The office was still the same as before, and no one was occupying it, after all, he was still the chairman of the cooperative.

"There wasn't much to do at the commune, so I was quite relaxed all day. The only thing I did was go on an inspection tour with them during the autumn harvest."

Fang Ping smiled, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, he received a salary every month and had nothing to do.

"It's fine if you have a little more free time, but you have to take good care of the house, so I can work outside with peace of mind."

Fang Wei's words have a double meaning: the cooperative is the last line of defense, a solid fortress to prevent ambitious individuals from privatizing the Yaoling Group.

He now has to go to Xiachu County frequently, and someone also needs to keep an eye on things at the commune.

And the eldest brother, Fang Ping, is the most suitable candidate.
