Chapter 83

(Calling for favorites and recommendations!)

Xu Junran stood at the door of the classroom, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

Once again boarding the train back to his hometown, Xu Junran's mood was completely different. The last time he returned, he was in a dire state with an uncertain future, but now he was full of confidence and had a beautiful woman by his side.

Looking at Lin Yuqing, who was sitting opposite him and staring at him in a daze, Xu Junran couldn't help but laugh.

"Yuqing, what are you thinking about?" Xu Junran asked.

Lin Yuqing's face turned slightly red, and she shook her head. "I'm not thinking about anything, it just feels like a dream."

Xu Junran smiled but didn't say anything. He understood how Lin Yuqing felt. From an ordinary peasant girl, she had suddenly become the financial manager of a construction company. This transformation would take some time for her to get used to.

The two of them were still taking a sleeper train back to Jiangnan, but this time, Cao Junming had bought the tickets for them, and there was no one else in the car except for the two of them.

"Junran, do you think we can find workers when we get back?" Lin Yuqing asked Xu Junran, looking at him with some concern.

To her, the title of financial manager was just a name. Since she had become Xu Junran's woman, her heart was entirely tied to her young man.

Xu Junran smiled. "Don't worry, I have a plan."

His plan was simple: for now, he wouldn't look for people elsewhere. He would have the production teams of Lijia Town's commune send people, with each team sending a few dozen. He would have them work in Pengfei City for a few months, and once they earned money, others would naturally see the benefits.

People in China were like this: they wouldn't believe it until they saw it. Without seeing the actual benefits, there would always be people who would criticize.

It was already late July, and 1983 was just around the corner. With the changes in policy, there would definitely be a big development opportunity. What Xu Junran needed to do was to lay the groundwork for the individual and private economic development of Lijia Town and Wude County before this opportunity arrived.

"Junran, I heard you talking to your brother about setting up a factory in the commune?"

Seeing Xu Junran lost in thought, Lin Yuqing suddenly asked.

Xu Junran nodded. "There are many wild fruits on the mountain. I think we can set up a beverage factory to process some drinks. Now that people in the city have extra money, they are starting to pursue enjoyment. If we can take this approach, we might find a different path."

"But, isn't that a bit difficult? Besides, how many people can afford to drink them?" Lin Yuqing said with some worry.

Xu Junran smiled mysteriously but didn't say anything.

While this idea seemed incredible to Lin Yuqing, it was a simple matter for Xu Junran.

There is a form of media called advertising.

If he remembered correctly, in a few months, in February 1983, CCTV would host the first live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala to celebrate the lunar new year. From then on, every Spring Festival, Chinese people would gather around their televisions, waiting for this grand New Year's Eve feast.

Xu Junran's target was this Spring Festival Gala.

In the era when Xu Junran became the Party Secretary, advertising had become an indispensable part of people's lives, with ads everywhere guiding people's choices in what to buy, eat, and use. Wherever there were people, there were ads.

So, what if he placed an ad for Wude County on the Spring Festival Gala stage?

Rapidly constructing the entire plan in his mind, Xu Junran knew that if everything went well, Wude County's beverage factory could become a more successful enterprise than JianXianBao, and he believed that with his guidance, the beverage factory would definitely take off.

What he needed to do now was to stabilize the situation in Wude County and remove the obstacles to its development!

The train slowly pulled into Quanzhou Station. Xu Junran and Lin Yuqing got off and headed straight for the bus station. This time, when they returned from Beijing, Cao Junwei insisted on giving Lin Yuqing 5,000 yuan as activity funds for the company. Xu Junran knew he was worried about them not having enough money for the journey, so he didn't refuse. After all, Cao Junwei was a genuine tycoon at this time.

"Yuqing, you go back to the commune first, and I'll go to the county committee," Xu Junran said to Lin Yuqing while sitting in the bus.

Lin Yuqing nodded. "I understand."

She knew that Xu Junran had something to do at the county committee, and her task was to get back to the commune as soon as possible. Honestly, Lin Yuqing, who had never seen 5,000 yuan in her life, felt as if millions of ants were crawling in her heart, fearing for her life.

Seeing Lin Yuqing's nervousness, Xu Junran remembered that she had 5,000 yuan on her. Coming from the future, he was used to seeing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash, but he had forgotten that in the 1980s, even a bicycle was considered a fixed asset. With 5,000 yuan in her pocket, Lin Yuqing probably feared anyone coming within five meters of her.

After some thought, Xu Junran said, "Why don't you go find Xiaoyue and wait for me there?"

It was morning, and the county committee should still be in session, so Xu Junran wasn't worried. After all, Yuan Xiaoyue was trustworthy, especially in the county committee compound.

When they arrived in Wude County, it was already past noon. Looking at the familiar streets, Xu Junran smiled at Lin Yuqing. "How does it compare to Beijing?"

Lin Yuqing smiled. "Although Beijing is great, I still like it here."

Xu Junran nodded. "Yes, no matter how good the outside world is, it's not our home."

For him, Beijing and other places, no matter how well they developed, were just stops in his life. The only place that truly felt like home to Xu Junran was this somewhat dilapidated county.

"Let's go home!"

Xu Junran said slowly, stepping out, and Lin Yuqing followed him with a happy look on her face. Following this man, wherever they went, was a source of happiness for her, a woman who had been alone in the world.

The county committee compound wasn't far from the bus station. Along the way, many people pointed and whispered about Lin Yuqing and Xu Junran. Normally, Lin Yuqing would have felt very uncomfortable, given her poor reputation and the fear of affecting Xu Junran. But today, she walked calmly behind him, not just because she was his woman, but also because she knew that women didn't have to be just men's accessories; they could have their own careers.

When they entered the county committee compound, Xu Junran greeted a few familiar people warmly. He asked Lin Yuqing to take the luggage to the comprehensive office and then headed straight for the office of the county party secretary, Yan Wangsong. There was something he needed to discuss with Yan Wangsong as soon as possible.
