When Wang Yong returned to the chicken farm, he was instantly stunned by the pile of golden eggs!

Wang Qian proudly lifted her head and looked at Wang Yong, saying, "Brother, how about it? Scared, right? We counted, there are 2,156 in total. We took 156, and the rest are for you to handle."

After saying that, the girl led the other girls, including Mingming who was holding Little Pitiful, and forcibly pulled Yuan Yuan down the mountain. The others gave Wang Yong a sympathetic look, especially his younger uncle, whose eyes held a very special meaning, and then followed down the mountain. Only Wang Yong was left staring at the pile of golden eggs, worried that they would spoil if left for too long!

In the vast sky and wide world, after being brave,

Take the determination to break the lock of fate,

Cold-hearted people,

Thank you for once looking down on me,

Let me live a more colorful life without bowing my head.

Wang Yong's phone rang, and he took it out, his eyes immediately brightening.

"Hello! Wang Yong, I'm already at the village entrance. Get all the golden eggs ready for me, I'll be there soon," Manager Li Jigang said urgently.

"I'm at the chicken farm right now, just drive your car over!"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Yong smiled happily. There's always a way out! The money is coming again, just earned 50,000, and now there's a big sum to be collected.

About ten minutes later, Li Jigang, two workers, and a driver got out of a double-cab van. The workers were immediately attracted by the pile of golden eggs next to Wang Yong. Hearing about it is one thing, but seeing the real thing, especially so many piled together, was truly breathtaking. These people had heard from their colleagues in the procurement department about the golden eggs, but the eggs had been sent directly to a research institute by Manager Li for testing. They had only seen photos taken at the same time. This time, they came with Manager Li to see the golden eggs that were causing a stir in Beijing.

"Wang Yong, you're going to be famous," Manager Li Jigang said, making Wang Yong's mind race.

"What do you mean? Is it because of the golden eggs?"

"Yes, somehow, the research institute where I sent the golden eggs for testing posted a photo of the golden egg online. Now the whole of Beijing is discussing your golden eggs, and the internet is in an uproar. You didn't know at all?" Li Jigang looked at Wang Yong in confusion. Don't young people usually spend all day online?

"My internet connection was just set up, and I haven't had time to buy a computer yet. My brother has one at home, but he just came back from school and doesn't know about the golden eggs yet. That's strange! I see why everyone was looking at me with that gloating expression. They must have known about it already!"

Wang Yong finally understood. Not to mention others, Wang Qian and Wang Han, who were studying in Beijing, must have known about it. No wonder they were so excited when they saw the golden eggs.

Li Jigang had already squatted down to examine the golden eggs. Seeing Wang Yong come to his senses, he first instructed the workers to pack the eggs, then said to Wang Yong, "After testing by the Poultry Research Institute of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the nutritional content of the golden eggs is generally higher than that of ordinary free-range eggs. The most important thing is that a strange substance was found in the golden eggs. After extraction, experts found that it not only promotes cell division but also has certain anti-cancer effects. This is a big selling point! Many people are now looking for the source of the golden eggs, and I can't keep it a secret for long. We came today under the guise of buying special vegetables. I estimate that as soon as we transport these eggs to Beijing, someone will come looking for you. You need to be prepared. When the time comes, some big shots will come to talk to you about cooperation. These people are ruthless. You need to find a strong backing as soon as possible. I heard that the son of a vice-director of the National Development and Reform Commission is already looking into the source of the golden eggs. Be careful!"

Wang Yong didn't expect the golden eggs to cause so much trouble, but with the small world and the AI Xiaoguang, he wasn't worried about the vice-director's son. Speaking of which, his younger uncle was a vice-director, right? It couldn't be Wang Gang looking into it, could it? Thinking about this, Wang Yong let Li Jigang and the workers pack the eggs while he walked to the side to call Wang Gang. If it was him, Wang Yong didn't know what to do. Give or not? Now, thinking about it, his younger uncle's worried look when he left clearly showed that he was concerned. If even he knew about the golden eggs, this must be a big deal.

Just as Wang Yong was about to call, he heard footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Yuan Yuan, Wang Qian, Wang Gang, and Wang Qiang coming over. Yuan Yuan looked at him with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Wang Qiang, as the leader of the family, walked over and said seriously, "You know about the golden eggs, right? Manager Li was called by my father. Don't worry about this; no one can take your things. There's another thing I need to tell you. In 1986, Grandpa and Grandma once went back to Beijing to visit Premier's wife, Grandma Deng. At that time, Comrade Xiaoping asked him to stay in Beijing and serve as the commander of the Beijing Military Region, to take over from General Qin, his old leader. Grandpa didn't agree and recommended his former subordinate, Wang Bin (Wang Bin did not serve as the commander of the Beijing Military Region in this term but took the position in 1990). However, at that time, Grandpa's military status was restored, and he was promoted to the rank of major general, and awarded the Second-Class Independence Medal and the Second-Class Liberation Medal. Now, Grandpa still holds the position of military advisor to the Central Military Commission, but he doesn't want to leave his hometown. Even Comrade Xiaoping and Comrade Ye Jianying couldn't persuade him. Moreover, Grandpa specifically requested to keep it a secret and not to disturb his current life."

Wang Gang continued, "This is what Grandpa just told us. My father told Grandpa about your situation, and Grandpa was furious, directly calling a number and venting his anger. I think it must be someone with significant influence, because I saw my father stunned. He must know that phone number!"

Wang Qian also walked over and said with concern, "Don't worry. Actually, the main reason my father decided to come back to the hometown for the New Year is because of your situation. As the head of the National Development and Reform Commission, every move he makes is closely watched. Now, anyone who wants to target you will have to think twice when they know you are my father's nephew. With Grandpa's support, there are probably very few people in the country who would dare to target you."

Wang Yong's head spun. His younger uncle had become the head of the department in such a short time, and Grandpa had become a major general and a military advisor. So, he was a third-generation red? Yuan Yuan walked up and took Wang Yong's hand, holding it tightly to show her support.

Wang Yong had never felt so good. Since his parents passed away, he had closed himself off. To outsiders, the former troublemaker had grown up, but only those closest to him knew that Wang Yong had deliberately closed off his emotions. He wanted to bear the burden of the family alone, believing he could live well without anyone's help. Today, the love and care from his elders, the concern from his siblings, and the worry and support from his lover had opened a crack in Wang Yong's closed heart, and then shattered it, revealing his inner self. A smile with a strange charm appeared on Wang Yong's face, making Yuan Yuan stare in admiration.

Wang Qiang felt that the playful and lively brother he once knew had returned, and he was genuinely relieved. This was the real Wang Yong, sincere, brave, and resilient, never afraid of difficulties, always facing them head-on.

"Wang Yong, I'm done here, come and settle the accounts," Li Jigang called out.

"Coming," Wang Yong responded. Then he said to the others, "Let's see what price these golden eggs can fetch."

With that, Wang Yong led the way, holding Yuan Yuan's hand, toward Li Jigang. As they approached, Li Jigang's phone started ringing non-stop. He took it out, made a gesture to wait, and answered the call without hesitation.

"Chairman, yes, yes, what? Oh! I understand, you can rest assured."

After hanging up, Li Jigang stared straight at Wang Yong. When Wang Yong started to feel uncomfortable, he spoke up:

"Brother, you're really something. I didn't expect you to have such strong connections."

Wang Yong and the others exchanged glances, realizing that Grandpa's call had worked. Li Jigang continued:

"Just now, our chairman called and instructed me to buy the golden eggs at the highest price. According to him, the President personally spoke up, demanding strict action against corruption, especially for the criminal activities of the families of leading cadres. It seems an old cadre called the President's office and vented his anger, saying that the current cadres are behaving badly, protecting their children from using their positions to gain improper benefits, causing chaos in the country, and that a thorough cleanup is needed."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Yong enviously. You know, this guy not only has talent but also has rock-solid connections. His future is boundless!

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about? I asked you a question. How much do you plan to pay for these golden eggs?" Wang Qian asked loudly. She was very interested in how much these now-famous golden eggs were worth. After all, the four girls had taken 156 eggs, and each of them, including Wang Han, Xiao Xia, Yuan Yuan, and Little Mingming, would get 31 eggs. The remaining one was given to the two heroes, Little Black and Little White, but they didn't eat it, so it ended up benefiting the owner.

"Um, we'll buy them at 50 yuan each, how about that?" Li Jigang said hesitantly. He didn't know if any of them were the children of some big shot, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

"Oh! 50 yuan each, not bad. Wait, are you sure it's 50 yuan each, not 50 yuan per kilogram?" Wang Qian asked aggressively.

"Hey, you little girl, what are you doing here? Can't you see the men of the Wang family are here? Step aside, step aside," Wang Yong said authoritatively, pushing Wang Qian to the side, making her glare at him.

"50 yuan it is, but this is because you're our first customer, so I'm giving you a discount. The price will be different next time, let's be clear about that!" Wang Yong explained. He had planned to sell them for 50 yuan each even before he knew about the special substance. After the tests confirmed the special substance and its ability to promote cell regeneration and kill cancer cells, he thought they should be sold for 100 yuan each.

"Sure, sure! Actually, we don't know how to set the price either. We'll adjust the purchase price based on the sales situation after these golden eggs hit the market."

There were 2,000 golden eggs in total, and because their shells were thicker than ordinary eggs, they were all packed without any damage. Wang Yong specially found 20 more golden eggs from the chicken farm and gave them to the four people, making Li Jigang and the others very grateful. After all, each one was worth 50 yuan, and many people's daily wages might only buy a few.

These 2,000 eggs brought Wang Yong 100,000 yuan in income. Including the fish he had just sold, Wang Yong had earned 150,000 yuan in one day, which was more than many people's lifetime earnings. And this was just the beginning; as the chickens entered their peak egg-laying period, a steady stream of golden eggs would provide Wang Yong with a continuous flow of cash. In just over a year, with the income from the greenhouses and orchards, he could easily raise the funds needed for his super greenhouse project.

Wang Yong's plans were good, but reality was even better. A few days later, he had already raised the funds needed for the super greenhouse construction. Of course, that's a story for another time.

After seeing off Li Jigang, Wang Yong waved the thick stack of 100,000 yuan in cash and said proudly, "Sisters, your big brother is giving you pocket money. Come, come, everyone gets a share." He then gave Wang Qian and Wang Han each a stack of 10,000 yuan, and in front of Wang Qiang and Wang Gang's expectant expressions, he gave all the remaining money to Yuan Yuan. Ignoring everyone's various expressions, Wang Yong held Yuan Yuan's hand and walked down the mountain. It was getting late, and they needed to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
