After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

This is like someone who knows perfectly well that with their abilities and worth they can find a job that pays 100 yuan a month, but then they accidentally find out that there's a place that's hiring for 20 yuan a month. Would they go there? Obviously not.

Having witnessed various human weaknesses in his past life, Lin Fan instinctively sensed that this person had a problem.

The reason this person was labeled as suspicious by Lin Fan was not for any other reason than that his resume was too outstanding.

If he were just an ordinary warehouse manager who barely passed the test, Lin Fan would not have had any doubts. It was precisely because he was so professional and capable that Lin Fan had to think carefully.

After all, Director Sun just said that he had tested this person's specific abilities in warehouse management, and he did an excellent job. Isn't that enough to prove the point? You have to know that the test questions Lin Fan set were very difficult!

Normally speaking, someone with average performance would be doing very well in an ordinary factory. But someone with outstanding performance would be someone Lin Fan couldn't even imagine what level of person they would be in an ordinary factory!

"Could it be that this person made a serious mistake at their previous company and has been blacklisted by the entire industry, which is why they came to me?"

As Lin Fan stood there, his biggest suspicion was that this person had committed some serious, fundamental error, which was why he had been kicked out!

It's important to understand that this kind of thing is very, very common in the industry. Every industry has certain principles that cannot be violated.

For example, betraying one's employer or something else entirely. These are unspoken rules of the profession, and once someone makes such a mistake, they will indeed be ostracized by the entire industry. Lin Fan didn't want the warehouse manager he was recruiting to be that kind of person!

This also perfectly explains why this guy, who clearly had a better future, didn't seek it out but instead came to Lin Fan!

He probably thought that since this was a small place, Lin Fan, the factory manager, might be ignorant and unaware of the bad things he had done, so he wanted to come here and try his luck. But Lin Fan wouldn't give him that chance.

To reiterate, the people Lin Fan recruits can be of average or ordinary ability, but their character absolutely cannot be questionable.

You have to understand that an average person's mistakes are relatively limited, while an outstanding person with personality problems could potentially destroy the entire factory if they make a mistake!

This is the same principle as a wooden barrel. The amount of water a barrel can hold depends not on how long the longest plank is, but on how short the shortest plank is.

Similarly, whether Lin Fan's business can last depends not on how capable his high-end talents are, but on how stable his low-end talents are. He just wants to find a stable person, not a high-risk individual with potential risks.

Not long after, they pressed the button and found the vicinity of Zheng An's residence, following the address given by Director Su earlier.

Because he didn't have a specific address, he could only wander around Dongda Street Hutong. Before long, he found an old man selling sweet potatoes at the entrance of the hutong.

The old man was pushing a tricycle with three ovens he made himself from oil drums for selling sweet potatoes.

The sweet potatoes emitted an enticing aroma, and the old man stood at the alley entrance, where business was surprisingly good.

In just a moment, Lin Fan analyzed the basic information about the old man.

For example, his stall is movable, but he always stays fixed at the entrance of the alley. This can only mean that the old man is very familiar with this area and has many regular customers, so he can sell well without moving.

Secondly, his accent was exactly the same as the person next to him, which meant he was a local from Nancheng. Furthermore, he was dressed very lightly and was wearing slippers, which indicated that he was a tenant living nearby.

In short, based on these simple circumstances, it can be concluded that if Lin Fan wants to find someone here to inquire about Zheng An, this old man selling sweet potatoes is a good choice!

Having made up his mind, Lin Fan walked towards the old man with an innocent smile on his face.

"Young man, would you like a sweet potato? These sweet potatoes are grown by my relatives in the countryside. They're big and very sweet. Would you like to try some?"

Upon seeing someone approaching, the old man immediately broke into a warm smile, looking at Lin Fan with a hearty grin.

Lin Fan shook his head and looked at the old man, saying, "Grandpa, hello. I'm from out of town. You can probably tell from my accent. I'm here to find my relatives, but I'm lost. Could you please give me directions?"

It has to be said that appearance is a very, very important factor. Xiao Linfan is so handsome and young, just like an ordinary young student, and he calls everyone "Grandpa" very politely.

The old man's wariness immediately dropped to its lowest point. Seeing his pitiful eyes, he couldn't help but say, "Good boy, don't worry. I'm quite familiar with this area. Tell me, where does your relative live? This is on South East Street!"

Lin Fan scratched his head and said innocently, "My relative lives on East Street, but I can't find out exactly where. I only know that his name is Zheng An and he is my cousin!"

"And he works as a warehouse manager at a large company. I don't know if you know him?"

Upon hearing the name Zheng An, the old man paused for a moment, then a strange expression appeared on his face.

"Zheng An?"

“Young man, you’ve come to the right person. I do know him.”

Lin Fan looked at the old man and said with a hint of surprise, "Grandpa, do you really know my cousin? Where does he live? Can you take me there?"

The old man nodded: "Alright, since you're so polite, I'll take you. I don't know what your parents were thinking, leaving you out here all alone."

The old man nodded happily and was about to get up when Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, please wait a moment."

"My parents told me that you can't easily trust anyone when you're out in the world!"

“I’m not doubting you, I just don’t think I’m that lucky to just randomly find an old man and happen to know where my uncle lives. Could you tell me what you know about my account? If it’s similar to what I remember, then I’ll believe you.”

Lin Fan's behavior resembled that of a student who was somewhat wary of strangers but was actually quite naive, staring expectantly at the old man.
