A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

An argument broke out at my uncle's house.

"Bang!"

A calloused hand slammed down on the table, making everything on it jump.

Second Uncle was so angry that his heart was pounding and his face turned red. He sighed and said angrily to Lin Jiayao.

The eldest uncle was smoking a hookah on the side.

"He's gone mad! I think Ah Yan has made some money and doesn't even know what a farmer is anymore!"

Lin Jiayao was so enraged that he was buzzing.

He tried to stabilize the situation.

"Second Uncle, don't panic..."

"How can I not be anxious?!"

My second uncle suddenly ripped the straw hat off his head.

"Every farmer knows that planting trees isn't like growing bonsai! You have to do things according to the season! If you miss the pest control period, what's the point of spraying pesticides and weeding now? It's just throwing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars directly into the ditch!"

At this moment, my uncle spoke.

"Jiayao, it's not that we elders have to be critical, but clearing weeds is one thing, but why build that fishpond? And turn it into a fishing spot? Our village roads are all muddy after it rains. What city person would be crazy enough to come here to fish?"

My second uncle became more and more excited as he spoke.

"The most outrageous thing is hiring! Uncle Han! The whole village knows he's lost his mind. He's sending a fool and an old woman to watch the fishpond? What if they fall in and drown? Who will be held responsible for that murder?! The villagers will just point fingers at us, accusing us of putting on a show and profiting from human suffering!"

asphyxia.

Lin Jiayao opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable.

From a professional perspective, Lin Yan's decisions were nothing short of suicidal.

"Jiayao, you're an educated man, you know how to calculate things best. Hurry up and call Ayan, talk to him. No matter how much money he has, he shouldn't waste it like this!"

Is Ayan the kind of naive and innocent girl who throws money around recklessly? No, absolutely not.

From that building to the business layout, he witnessed firsthand just how terrifying his brother's methods were.

But this game of chess is clearly a dead end!

"...Do as instructed."

Lin Jiayao closed his eyes and squeezed out those two words.

"What did you say?!"

Cousin Lin Yecheng's eyes widened.

"I said, do as I say!"

Lin Jiayao carried a ruthless determination, as if he had nothing to lose.

"Brother Yecheng! Since Ayan said so, we should believe him!"

"You...you guys are completely bewitched!"

My second uncle was so angry that he slammed the door and left.

His uncle gave him a deep look and sighed.

...

As a senior auditor who has worked in the provincial capital for many years, he possesses a business acumen and logical restructuring ability that are difficult for ordinary people to match.

But it was precisely because he knew so much that he thought Lin Yan's decision was simply absurd. At this critical juncture, spending a lot of money to develop a lychee orchard that had missed the pesticide application period and was destined to have a reduced yield, and even digging a fishing pond next to it.

This is just throwing money into the water and hearing the splash!

But the moment he received the business license, looking at the words "cold chain logistics" and "modern agriculture," it was as if a ray of light pierced through the fog in Lin Jiayao's mind.

All the irrationality, at this moment, formed a closed loop!

"I'm so stupid..."

Lin Jiayao muttered to himself.

"We shouldn't focus on this year's meager lychee production."

"Wow! That's incredibly high!"

"To the average person, a fishing pond is just a place for fun. But what do large cold chain warehouses and fruit sorting and cleaning lines lack most? Water! Industrial water use approvals are extremely complicated, but by using the name of an eco-friendly recreational fishing pond, we can not only legitimately acquire control of the reservoir's water source, but also serve as a draw for future eco-farmhouse tourism!"

"As for hiring the simple-minded uncle and his son... that was a stroke of genius."

Lin Jiayao took a deep breath, marveling at the cruelty and warmth of the close-knit community in the countryside.

What are the biggest fears in rural areas? They fear conjunctivitis and being secretly sabotaged.

By hiring the poorest, most impoverished uncle and his son at a high salary, they've achieved the ultimate righteousness! They've become the living saints of the entire Tian Village. From now on, anyone who dares to cause trouble at the market won't need a fight; the villagers' spittle will drown them! This is called hiring a suicide squad, winning over hearts and minds, and acting as a stabilizing force! As for security, that's not a problem at all. Investing so much money to repair the infrastructure is simply giving them a reason to build houses to live in."

One link leads to another.

What appears to be a haphazard spending spree is actually a precise and skillful execution of business strategies and understanding of rural social dynamics at every step!

With such an unfathomable and shrewd younger brother steering things from behind, if he, as the executor, can't even do a decent job of carrying out his duties, he might as well just find a block of tofu and smash his head against it!

He grabbed his phone and dialed Lin Yecheng's number.

"Hey? Jiayao, what's up? I'm looking for people to repair the road in the lychee grove. My dad and I are recruiting right now."

"Brother Yecheng! Listen up!"

We're hiring more people so we can upgrade our road paving standards! We're not doing ordinary rural cement roads anymore; everything will be paved to four-lane standards! In the future, this road won't be used by tricycles, but by heavy semi-trailers!

"Huh? A semi-trailer? Ah Yan didn't mention it..."

"Yanzi is too lazy to explain his whole plan to us! And that fishing pond, dig it deeper! Make sure to build up the surrounding area to prevent seepage. That's not just an ordinary fishpond, it's our future industrial water reservoir! Don't hold Yanzi back from his grand scheme. If you don't have enough money, I'll transfer it here!"

"Okay...okay! I get it! Damn, just how big of a deal is Ah Yan up to?!"

Although Lin Yecheng was completely confused, he was infected by Lin Jiayao's emotions and immediately felt his blood boiling.

at the same time.

Tamura, the old house, next to the World Tree.

Lin Yan bought the sofa chair she had been longing for online, and the World Tree had already grown from a seed into a sapling.

A gentle breeze brought a refreshing coolness.

"Ah~"

Lin Yan opened his mouth.

Sitting next to Lin Yan, Xier, wearing a floral dress, was gently feeding him a grape.

"Honey, is it sweet?"

Syl blinked her beautiful eyes and asked expectantly.

"sweet."

Lin Yan squinted his eyes contentedly and stroked Xier's smooth hair.

Peaceful and serene, this is what retirement life is all about.

"Ring ring"

Lin Yan's phone vibrated. He lazily took it out and glanced at it. It was a WeChat message from Lin Jiayao.

[Hey Yan! The license's in! I've got your whole strategy figured out! Don't worry, I'm pushing the roads and reservoirs to the highest standards! I won't let your plan fail in execution! Let's give it our all! [fighting][fighting][burning]]

Lin Yan stared at the row of enthusiastic emojis on the screen.

?

A question mark slowly emerged.

"Honey, is there some trouble?" Syl noticed the subtle change in Lin Yan's expression and immediately became serious.

"...No, it's just that my brother probably didn't sleep well last night, and his mind is a little excited."

Lin Yan sighed, tossed his phone aside, turned over, and rested his head on Xier's soft lap.

Forget it, let them do what they want.
