Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

Xu Wei was wearing a blue cloth dress that was washed to a pale color. Although the corners of the clothes were a little worn, they were neatly mended. His pants were also old, but clean and neat. On his feet were a pair of cloth shoes with worn edges.

Although she was dressed simply, even shabby, Chen Feng could still see that she exuded a pidgin temperament and was also very beautiful.

This is completely different from Ning Yao.

Ning Yao always has a calm strength that makes people feel peaceful. This temperament particularly attracts Chen Feng. Whenever he is with Ning Yao, he always feels at ease.

But before Xu Wei could speak, Chen Feng caught a glimpse of deep pain in her eyes, as well as the restlessness that was tightly bound by this pain.

Ning Yao smiled and stood between the two men, introducing them: "Come here, Chen Feng, this is the Xu Wei I mentioned to you. Xu Wei, this is Chen Feng, the head of the village-run factory in Mashan Village."

Chen Feng smiled at Xu Wei. "Hello, Xu Wei. I heard from Ning Yao that you know accounting?"

Xu Wei didn't answer, but raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "You are building this village-run factory, so you don't need an accountant, right?"

Chen Feng was stunned by this question for a moment, then smiled and said, "Accounting is one of the cornerstones of a company. How could I not need it?"

Xu Wei still didn't answer, but said, "The accounting I studied is different from the general ones. Perhaps you should find an accountant in a state-owned enterprise. It might be more helpful to you."

When Chen Feng heard this, his mind suddenly became clear. He understood the meaning of Xu Wei's words. Instead of being unhappy, he felt even more delighted.

He knew that most domestic companies were still using the Soviet accounting system introduced in the 1950s, while the Western double-entry bookkeeping method was the cornerstone of modern accounting.

The Soviet accounting system focuses more on planning and uniformity, while the double-entry accounting method focuses more on reflecting the company's financial status and operating results.

In a few years, all domestic companies will abandon the Soviet accounting method, which will greatly promote the modernization of my country's accounting system.

He smiled and said, "That's exactly your accounting method I want. Don't worry about me not understanding it."

"I only have one request, and that is that you make the three major financial statements—balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement—clear for me."

"These three financial statements are closely interlinked. The balance sheet reflects a company's financial status, the income statement shows operating results, and the cash flow statement reveals cash flows. Together, they provide a comprehensive picture of a company's financial health, which is crucial to my decision-making..."

After hearing this, Xu Wei's eyes flickered suddenly. He obviously didn't expect Chen Feng to have such profound insights into Western accounting theory.

She was secretly amazed in her heart. These words actually made her feel as if she was touched by her grandfather's teachings. Compared with her grandfather's, Chen Feng's explanation was more straightforward and easy to understand.

Without years of immersion in accounting, it would be impossible to have such a thorough explanation.

"Have you really learned it?" Xu Wei couldn't help but ask, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.

Chen Feng raised his lips to a faint smile, "I guess I've had some contact with him."

Afterwards, Chen Feng asked Xu Wei a few questions in the accounting field, which served as an interview.

Xu Wei answered the questions one by one. Although he occasionally got stuck, his overall performance made Chen Feng quite satisfied.

After all, her knowledge, largely inherited from her family and with some early practical experience, was more than adequate for a small factory. However, compared to the accounting theories and practices that continued to evolve in the commercial world, hers was still somewhat immature.

However, this is rare enough.

Chen Feng thought that he could slowly impart more advanced knowledge and skills to her. With her foundation, it would only be a matter of time for her to learn them.

Next, the question is how to transfer Xu Wei to Mashan Village.

The Party Secretary of Hu Shigouwa seems to be coveting her and has been obstructing her. Ning Yao has to step in and find Zhou Guohui to coordinate this matter.

If it really doesn't work, he will go to Director Sun himself. He believes that dealing with a branch secretary should not be a problem.

Having made up his mind, Chen Feng made an agreement with Xu Wei to invite her to work as an accountant in the village-run factory in Mashan Village.

After hearing this, Xu Wei was filled with gratitude, but was too embarrassed to express it directly to Chen Feng, so he just pulled Ning Yao aside and whispered to her.

Seeing this, Chen Feng didn't bother to care about what the two women said. With the accounting problem solved, the next step was to find a suitable production manager. This role required an expert.

After saying goodbye to Ning Yao and Xu Wei, Chen Feng hurried back home, planning to ride his bike to the town to find Director Sun to see if he could get some recommendations from him.

Chen Feng got on his bike and just turned out of the village, he saw a figure flash in front of him. He looked closely and saw that it was Feng Laonian from the village. He was holding a brightly feathered chicken in one hand and a basket full of eggs on the other arm.

"Lao Nian, what are you doing?" Chen Feng slowed down and stopped, asking in confusion.

Feng Laonian chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "Feng, I have a distant uncle who lives over in Lijia Village. He's quite capable. He used to be the deputy team leader in the production team, building dams and managing work points. He's an expert. You're going to open a factory in our village, and I was wondering if you could consider my uncle for the position of manager in your factory?"

When Chen Feng heard this, he knew what was going on. It was obvious that they were trying to take the back door.

He remained calm and asked a few more detailed questions, his brows raised slightly, and he already had a plan in mind. Just from listening to Feng Laonian's description of this uncle's situation, it was clear that it was far from modern factory management.

"Laonian, I understand your uncle's abilities, but what our factory needs are people who understand modern management. I'm afraid your uncle's old methods are not applicable." Chen Feng spoke bluntly and refused decisively.

When Feng Laonian heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He didn't expect Chen Feng to be so direct.

Seeing him like this, Chen Feng patted his shoulder and said, "You, just stay at home and take care of your Phnom Penh Dollar. Wouldn't it be better for your family to make more money? Don't take on too much."

"However, don't worry about your kid joining the factory. As long as he is willing to learn, I will definitely give him a chance."

"Take these chickens and eggs back with you and keep them for yourself. Don't send them to me."

"Oh, okay." Feng Laonian nodded quickly.

Chen Feng shook his head, got on his bike and continued to ride towards the town.

When we arrived at the Red Star Pharmacy, we found out that Director Sun had gone to the provincial capital and had not returned yet.

In desperation, he could only get on his bike and rush back.

As soon as he got home, Chen Feng was stunned. The house was full of people, and Feng Laonian was among them. There were also many other villagers around, all holding various things in their hands. They were obviously there to give gifts.

When Chen Feng saw this scene, he immediately got angry!
