A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

Upon hearing Li Wude's instructions, the squad leaders quickly took out small slips of paper and distributed them to each household.

The rules are very simple. Since everyone is illiterate, those who think it's okay draw a circle, and those who don't think it's okay put an X on it.

After casting their votes, each person folded their paper and threw it into a small box.

After the squad leader collected all the votes from his squad, he put them all into a large box.

Once all the votes had been recorded, they were thrown into the box.

Li Wude then began to announce the votes to everyone.

At the same time, everyone around him could supervise and see if Li Wude was lying, calling a circle a cross and a cross a circle.

"support!"

"support!"

"support!"

"I don't support it!"

As Li Wude sang one by one, the tickets for the entire brigade were quickly called out.

Under everyone's supervision, the staff member in charge of counting the votes quickly counted all the votes.

Before he could even finish calculating, several villagers who were standing over there supervising him called out.

"No need to calculate anymore. What's the point? You can tell at a glance that only about ten people don't support giving the Ma Station to Hu Dahai, while everyone else does."

"Yeah, there's such a long list of supporters, but so few oppositions. Just announce the results already."

Even those standing below started shouting:

"I already knew the result when they were counting the votes. There weren't many dissenting votes. It was considered a lot if there was even one dissenting vote out of ten people."

"That's right, Captain, this is unnecessary. There's no need for this. We trust Hu Dahai; he won't let anyone in our brigade suffer."

"Putting everything else aside, since I started working for Hu Dahai, my family has been eating meat regularly. During the Spring Festival, we even received red envelopes and gifts. Where else can you find such good treatment these days?"

"From now on, if Hu Dahai wants land, the brigade leader won't need to ask us. If he does, it means he agrees. We're all hoping that Hu Dahai will come and build more factories."

Amid the chatter of the villagers, Li Wude didn't let them continue calculating.

He said directly, "Since everyone tells us we don't need to calculate it, we won't take up any more of your time. I'll post the results on the bulletin board in the brigade office later, and anyone who wants to see them can come and take a look."

“I took a look, and it’s clear at a glance that everyone basically supports Hu Dahai. So we’ve decided on this: Ma Station will be rented to Hu Dahai, and the current buildings at Ma Station will be given to Hu Dahai for free. I’m sure Hu Dahai won’t let our Qunyi Brigade down.”

"Everyone, go home and have dinner and sleep."

Standing at the front of the crowd, Hu Dahai watched the villagers walking away chatting and laughing, and he was deeply moved.

He originally thought that things wouldn't go so smoothly, and that some villagers might ask him to contribute money or pay some kind of price.

But I never expected that I wouldn't encounter any difficulties at all from beginning to end.

How could I bear to disappoint these simple and honest people?

“I told you so,” Li Wude walked over and patted Hu Dahai on the shoulder. “Now you see, everyone still supports you.”

Hu Dahai nodded: "The villagers are very kind, I am very grateful to them."

"Actually, we should thank you," Li Wude said. "Our brigade is getting better and better now, mainly because you gave everyone the opportunity."

The two went back into the brigade office to discuss the matter.

The construction of this factory is not as simple as just setting it up. It also involves a large number of workers and a large amount of materials.

"Since it's only a three-story building, the construction isn't too difficult. So, the large number of odd-job workers needed this time will mainly be drawn from our brigade. As for the workers' meals, I'd like to select three women from our brigade to help with cooking."

Hu Dahai explained his plans to Li Wude. His previous house had been built by a construction worker from the brigade, and it turned out quite well. Therefore, he wanted to entrust the factory construction to the same person from the brigade.

"When it comes to personnel, we'll still need the battalion commander to put in a lot of effort. After all, no one is more suitable than the battalion commander in terms of selection."

Hu Dahai once again handed over the right to select people to Li Wude.

"Good, good, good!" Li Wude said "good" three times, both to applaud Hu Dahai's willingness to use people from the brigade and to applaud Hu Dahai for letting him choose the people.

As the team leader, he also needs authority and to make everyone respect him. Hu Dahai's selection of personnel is a good opportunity for him to establish his prestige.

Soon, the comrade in charge of building houses in the brigade was also called over.

The three continued to discuss the details of the construction. Since Ma Station was a large complex, Hu Dahai planned to build the warehouse and factory together, with a partition in the middle, one half for warehouse and the other half for factory.

The three people estimated that it would take two months to build the factory.

Hu Dahai was very satisfied with this timing, because two months later, Haiya Women's Clothing would definitely have more stores, and the amount of clothing needed would be even greater.

Once my own garment factory is established, I will have enough orders to produce, and I will not fall into the predicament of having machines and workers but not enough orders, and having to produce intermittently.

Otherwise, it would be a huge blow to the workers. After all, everyone who comes to work always hopes that the factory is as busy as possible. If the factory is empty, with orders coming and going, they will worry that the factory will go bankrupt and they will lose their jobs.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

These past few days, Xu Wen's extensive renovation of his shop in Ningcheng has become the hottest topic on that street.

Because when Xu Wen was renovating, people would always come and ask him, and he would truthfully say that he was going to open a women's clothing store.

Upon learning that Xu Wen was going to open a women's clothing store, the other women's clothing store owners on the street, instead of worrying that Xu Wen would steal their customers, mocked him.

"Mr. Xu, why are you doing this? You haven't even figured out men's clothing yet, and now you're trying to get into women's clothing? You're a grown man, do you even know anything about women's clothing?"

"That's right, you really are a great person. You used to run a men's clothing store, but you were just there to make the other men's clothing stores look better. When customers saw your store, they would think the other stores were really nice. Now you're finally here to make us women's clothing stores look better."

"In my opinion, Xu Wen, your father had good foresight when he bought this shop, but you squandered it all."

"I'm not trying to be mean, but I sincerely advise you to rent out the shop. The rent you earn there will be much more than you would make running the shop yourself."

Amidst these sarcastic remarks, Xu Wen remained as steady as a mountain.

"What do you know? Once my women's clothing store opens, you guys will all be trembling with fear."
