Chapter 771 Recruitment! (Seeking monthly votes)
"You want me? How can I help you?"

In the commune director's office, Wu Aiguo squinted and asked directly, "Explain yourself clearly!"

"Could the director please put in a good word for me?"

Ye Fan hesitated and said, "I will not sell this wooden plaque!"

"That's not a big problem!"

Wu Aiguo's answer was very assertive, but the next moment his tone changed, and he said leisurely, "I can help once or twice, but any more would be too much trouble!"

"how is this possible?"

Ye Fan didn't believe it: "With the director involved, who would dare to disrespect him?"

"What does my pride matter compared to real money?"

Wu Aiguo sneered, "Your wooden sign has already given you away!"

"Who knows, maybe some local bully will try to force you to buy it?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan's expression changed slightly.

He hadn't thought about it that much before, but now he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

A strongman from the countryside is really hard to deal with.

The key point is that many times these guys aren't just one person, but several brothers, and sometimes they even bring out their cousins.

Just the thought of being surrounded by several burly men skilled in martial arts made Ye Fan feel a chill run down his spine.

"Is there really no other way?"

He was very distressed, as things had only just started to get a little better.

"Yes, you can join the commune and become a civil servant!"

Wu Aiguo chuckled and said, "If you become a staff member of the commune, and anyone tries to take advantage of you, I'll teach them a lesson!"

"Director Wu, what is it about me that you see in me?"

Ye Fan was deeply moved, but couldn't help asking curiously, "I'm just a country boy with only an elementary school education!"

Don't underestimate yourself!

Wu Aiguo said leisurely, "You're quite the capable guy in the Dongfeng Brigade!"

"Putting everything else aside, their family's living conditions are probably among the best in the entire Dongfeng Brigade!"

"Well, things have really been going well at home lately!"

Ye Fan was somewhat surprised and embarrassed, saying, "It's all thanks to Director Wu. If the commune hadn't set up the public market, my family's situation wouldn't have improved so quickly!"

"That's because you're capable and able to seize the opportunity!"

Wu Aiguo said leisurely, "It's not just you; I know all the capable people in the various brigades of the commune very well!"

"The main reason we want you to join the commune is because we value your abilities; you can help the commune expand its market!"

Taking advantage of the film crew's accommodation, the commune did indeed attract many leisurely people from other communes and even neighboring counties to come and travel.

They even used this opportunity to develop corresponding primary industries.

Things like scenic postcards and landscape drawing paper became incredibly popular throughout the region.

The problem is that Wu Aiguo is still able to take care of the primary industries established by the commune.

However, business outside that requires the cooperation of state-owned enterprises and public institutions is not so easy to manage.

It requires shrewd people who are constantly on the move and keeping a close eye on things.

For example, in the business of scenic postcards and drawing paper, I heard that the county's printing factory plans to break away from the commune and start its own business.

When they heard the news, everyone in the commune was furious.

So, the county printing factory wants to steal the money the commune finally figured out?

The commune secretary immediately went to the county to litigate the dispute. However, Wu Aiguo was not optimistic about the secretary's achievements.

The printing factory is, after all, a county-level unit, and sometimes you can't fight city hall.

This is just the beginning!

Once "Romance on Lushan Mountain" becomes a nationwide hit, the business of selling scenic postcards and paper from Lushan Mountain can be expanded directly throughout the province and even several surrounding provinces; that would be a real money-maker.

Without the help of a shrewd person to plead and persuade, it might all end up benefiting someone else.

Wu Aiguo didn't care; he had plenty of ways to develop the economy.

It's estimated that the commune secretary and the county leaders will be so frustrated they'll vomit blood.

Originally, he hadn't planned to recruit someone with such good fortune as Ye Fan.

Besides, guys like that aren't so easy to recruit.

But isn't this the opportunity?

At first, he didn't agree immediately, but said he would go back and think about it carefully.

No one knows what happened to him, but on the third day he came to the door looking haggard with bloodshot eyes, expressing his strong desire to join the commune.

Wu Aiguo naturally welcomed him, as Ye Fan's abilities were indeed quite impressive!
Wu Aiguo was not the only one who paid attention to the outstanding talents in several brigades of the commune; the other cadres in the commune were not blind to them either.

No other reason!
With the emergence of several public markets and the influx of visitors brought by film crews staying in the area, some talented individuals in the commune's jurisdiction have become millionaires!

Just think about it, a family with 10,000 yuan in 1979!
Moreover, it was through hard work and the convenience of public markets that they achieved their goal of getting rich through diligence.

That was truly an eye-opening experience, like having a knife pulled on someone's anus.

Even though Wu Aiguo tried to stop the commune cadres from disturbing people's normal production and life, it still made the newspapers and caused a huge sensation.

If Ye Fan's family hadn't been so poor, they would probably be one of the families with ten thousand yuan in wealth this time.

Even so, his family still has assets worth several thousand yuan.

This family fortune is more than that of most workers in the city.

In other words, Ye Fan was also recognized as a capable person in the commune.

His willingness to join the commune did not attract any criticism.

Not to mention, he was invited to join by Wu Aiguo himself.

Later, Wu Aiguo learned that during the two days Ye Fan was at home pondering things, his grandparents, who had already separated from his family, brought his father and caused quite a commotion at his house.

Not only did they want Ye Fan to hand over the 'ancestral' wooden plaque, but they also wanted Ye Fan to return to the family. It was obvious that they wanted to bleed him dry.

This really annoyed Ye Fan, but he was also worried that his grandparents, who had separated from the family, might actually pull this stunt.

Even though everyone in the village knew about his family's situation, there was nothing they could do.

The only way is to leave the production brigade and move to the commune, which would give them a chance to get rid of the potential trouble.

It was at this moment that Wu Aiguo was certain that Ye Fan had not fully activated the function of the wooden plaque in his hand.

In fact, when he took the wooden plaque, he had already vaguely sensed that there was a small space inside.

But you'll understand once you think about it!

This wooden plaque is clearly a Taoist treasure.

It is estimated that if one's cultivation level or spiritual energy has not reached a certain level, it would be impossible to open the space inside.

What a joke! A Taoist master capable of creating wooden plaque spaces would definitely design and manufacture them for his own convenience.

How could it possibly leave ordinary people the possibility of establishing a blood oath and easily opening up a wooden plaque space?

Ye Fan was just an ordinary person at this time, so he obviously couldn't open the wooden plaque space normally, which Wu Aiguo could confirm.

Honestly, I don't even know what to say to him.
