A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Lin Yecheng shrank back in fear of his imposing manner.

"Jiayao, calm down..."

But Lin Jiayao had already rushed to the whiteboard and grabbed a marker.

"Look!"

He drew a mind map on the whiteboard, showing the relationship between sports clubs and brand sales.

"We'll cover for these kids! We'll open a sports club, and at the same time..."

He drew a fork in the middle.

"We're looking for new media talent, training them and nurturing their short video IPs, documenting their relentless training routines!"

The markers scribbled on the whiteboard, and Lin Jiayao's handwriting became increasingly illegible.

"The story of rising from the ashes has a natural power to spread; it doesn't need any embellishment. The truth itself is the best story!"

He turned around, his eyes burning like two flames.

Even if we don't win a medal in the end...

He made a heavy dot on the whiteboard with his pen.

"...They are also qualified media employees! And nowadays, merchandise sales are heavily reliant on media!"

Lin Jiayao's speech became faster and faster.

"What if someone actually manages to run it and achieve the desired result?!"

He drew a large circle on the whiteboard, enclosing all the lines inside.

"Their inherent inspirational appeal makes them the perfect spokespeople for our village's agricultural and processed products!"

He turned around, pointed at Lin Yan, his finger trembling.

"Ayan! You're using charity as a way to plan ahead and build an unbreakable sales force for yourself!!"

The dense array of arrows and circles on the whiteboard formed a perfect business closed loop diagram in Lin Jiayao's eyes.

Lin Yecheng stared at the whiteboard with his mouth agape, then at Lin Yan, his face bearing the expression of someone who thought, "My cousin is a genius."

Mu Jiuzhang pushed up his glasses and re-examined the logic lines on the whiteboard.

She had to admit that combining training and new media skills development in parallel did indeed create a manageable dual-track model.

If you train well, you'll become an athlete and spokesperson; if you don't, you'll still be a media professional with a special skill.

Neither of these paths is a dead end.

Lin Yan himself was currently covering his forehead with his hand, looking utterly hopeless.

He really just wanted to help those kids.

Why does it always turn out like this...?

Then Lin Jiayao wrote a whole script for him about a business empire.

"...Interpret it however you like."

Lin Yan waved his hand weakly.

Mu Jiuzhang ignored Lin Yan's nonchalant attitude; she had already moved past her initial opposition and entered work mode.

She stood up, walked to the whiteboard, took the marker from Lin Jiayao's hand, and wrote down a few keywords in neat handwriting next to the messy writing.

"If this is a dual-track, safety-net training model, it is logically sound and risk-controlling."

She drew a clear timeline.

"Initially, we find directors to film their stories, with phased assessments. The cycle is two years. Those who reach the competitive level continue to strive, while those who do not meet the standards move into the media behind-the-scenes field. No matter which path you take, there is a destination for you."

She turned around to face the three of them.

"but……"

Mu Jiuzhang's pen focused on the four words "new media talent".

"There is a prerequisite here: short video operation, content planning, and account incubation are not things that just anyone can do. You need someone to take the lead and someone knowledgeable to build the entire content system and media education system."

She looked at Lin Jiayao.

"I don't think there are any new media talents here who can take the lead."

Lin Jiayao was still excited when he was taken aback by the question and paused for a moment.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Yan.

"Sports coaches, new media talents... this is a case of heroes creating the times. The same industry, the same plan, can lead to completely different possibilities depending on the person doing it. Ultimately, our idea also needs people to realize it. Can we find the heroes to do this?"

Lin Yan sighed.

She turned around, her expression as calm as ever.

"These are the two core bottlenecks to the project's implementation. If these issues cannot be resolved, all the subsequent plans will be like building a house on sand."

Lin Jiayao frowned and moved his chair closer to the whiteboard.

"As for the coach... we need to find a professional, preferably a retired athlete with competitive sports training experience, or a professional who has actually done systematic rehabilitation training, that kind of person..."

He paused for a moment, then frowned.

"...Where can I find it?"

Lin Yecheng turned around from the window, resting his chin on his hand.

"Even if such people exist, they'd probably be in big cities. Why would we want them to come to Tiancun?"

He shook his head, with a sense that his plans were doomed.

"Higher salaries can attract people, but even if they come, can they stay in this small town? Entertainment is slightly better now, but how can we compete with big cities in education, healthcare, and transportation?"

The brothers fell silent, deep in thought.

But Lin Yan was thinking about something else entirely. He was considering whether he could feed the children some elven potions to double their training recovery efficiency, so they could achieve results without professional training.

As he was pondering this, Mu Jiuzhang suddenly spoke.

"Well, I do have an idea."

All three of them turned their gazes in that direction.

Mu Jiuzhang walked back to the whiteboard and wrote a few words below the line for the sports coach.

"Buy a government job."

Lin Jiayao: "...Huh?"

Lin Yecheng: "...What do you mean?"

Lin Yan narrowed his eyes, leaned back in his chair thoughtfully, and didn't speak, just waiting for her to continue.

Mu Jiuzhang capped the pen and held it between his fingers.

"The idea is very simple."

She was lecturing as if she were a student.

"You're already local bigwigs now. Use your connections in the town to sponsor a high school in the county. The amount is negotiable. Get the school to allocate a few regular physical education teacher positions separately, and let the talents we've brought in compete for them. Then, we'll officially hire them under the guise of talent recruitment."

She paused, giving Lin Jiayao and the others time to process what she had to say.

"Next, we went to those athletes who had retired due to injuries and were facing difficulties in finding a second job. We told them that we would offer them both a high salary and a stable job with government employment. The school would provide them with government employment status, and we would pay their salaries."

Lin Yecheng slowly straightened up.

"This...this combination..."

"It was a decisive blow."

Mu Jiuzhang picked up where he left off.

"For many athletes who can't find a way out due to injuries and the pressure of retirement, a government job means social security, medical care, and pensions, which is very attractive. In addition, we can pay more than those in the government system, and the sense of security that the government system can provide is something that many private enterprises cannot provide. We can provide both, so isn't that like bringing all the world's talents into our fold?"

Lin Jiayao slammed his hand on the table.
