After being reborn, the school beauty's entire family knelt down to repent.

Upon hearing this, Director Chen frowned slightly, clearly surprised by Chen Ming's request.

After a moment's thought, he said, "Chen Ming, your suggestion is very creative, but a 10% share of the profits seems a bit too high. After all, the farmers in our town are facing difficulties in rebuilding, and this condition may be hard for them to accept."

Chen Ming nodded, indicating his understanding. "I understand your concerns, Director Chen. But please believe me, the methods I provide will definitely help them reduce their losses and increase their profits. Moreover, I only need to provide technical support in the initial stage, and once the fishponds stabilize, my involvement will decrease. In the long run, this will be beneficial to them."

Even so, Director Chen still found it hard to accept, since it was no small sum.

"Thirty-five people, it seems you've made thorough preparations, Chen Ming." Director Chen changed the subject, clearly not agreeing with Chen Ming's suggestion.

"Chen Ming, why don't you open the red envelope and take a look? The town has been particularly attentive to this matter this time, and they've given out a substantial technical bonus." Hearing this, Chen Ming shook his head: "Director Chen..."

“Director Chen, I’m not here for the bonus; I want a partnership,” Chen Ming said firmly, his gaze fixed on Director Chen without the slightest hesitation.

"Cooperation?" Director Chen was somewhat puzzled; he hadn't expected this young man to have such an idea.

“Yes, cooperation,” Chen Ming repeated. “I provide technical support to help fish farmers rebuild and improve their fishpond facilities, and I receive a certain percentage of their fishpond profits as a return.”

Director Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Chen Ming, your idea is very creative, but we need to consider not only technical issues, but also the farmers' acceptance and the feasibility of actual operation."

“I understand, Director Chen.” Chen Ming nodded. “But I believe that as long as we can demonstrate the effectiveness of this method, the farmers will be willing to accept it.”

Director Chen looked at Chen Ming; calculating it this way, they would have to put in even more effort than the bonus amounted to.

"Chen Ming, could you demonstrate your method to us first, so we can understand its practical effects?" Director Chen suggested. "That way, I can better communicate with those fishermen."

Chen Ming rejected Director Chen's suggestion without hesitation.

“Director Chen, it’s not that I don’t want to agree to this, after all, we have invested a lot of resources in developing methods to cope with the cold wave,” Chen Ming explained. “Moreover, if I provide the technology for free, other places will also expect to receive free help when they encounter similar problems in the future, which is unfair to us.”

Upon hearing this, Director Chen quickly explained, "Chen Ming, don't worry, it's definitely not free. We just want to ensure the effectiveness of the technology so that we can better promote it to farmers."

After listening, Chen Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright, Director Chen, but I have a better way to convince you."

After saying that, Chen Ming asked his father to bring out a fishing net.

"What are you..."

Seeing this, Director Chen was a little curious, but then Chen Ming immediately cast the fishing net out.

"Once you see the quality of the fish in my pond, you'll understand whether my method is effective," Chen Ming said confidently.

Director Chen and his staff watched Chen Ming cast his net intently, eagerly awaiting the outcome.

Soon, the fishing net was pulled up, filled with lively, wriggling fish.

"Look, the vitality and quality of these fish are the best proof of the effectiveness of my method," Chen Ming said confidently to Director Chen, pointing to the fish in the net.

After hearing this, Director Chen squatted down and saw that the grass carp and crucian carp that were pulled up were all exceptionally healthy, with shiny scales and bright eyes, showing no signs of being affected by the cold wave.

"This...how is this possible?"

"This...how is this possible?" Director Chen had only been watching the fish jumping around in the pond, but he was extremely surprised to see the fish being hauled up with his own eyes. Chen Ming's method had clearly exceeded his expectations.

"Not bad, not bad," Director Chen said while examining the fish in the net. "However, a 10% share of the profits is still too high. Can we discuss it further?"

Chen Ming smiled slightly; he had already anticipated that Director Chen would hesitate.

"Director Chen, I understand your concerns. But as long as you explain it clearly to those fishpond owners, I believe they will not refuse."

"My method can not only help them overcome difficulties, but also bring them more benefits in the future. After all, the technology I provide has been proven in practice, not just empty talk," Chen Ming continued to explain, his tone revealing confidence in his technology.

Director Chen nodded, and he began to seriously consider Chen Ming's proposal.

Indeed, if Chen Ming's technology is truly as effective as he claims, then a 10% share of the profits could be a worthwhile investment for farmers in the long run.

“Okay, I agree to your proposal. We will communicate with the farmers to see if they are willing to accept your conditions.” Director Chen finally made the decision.

"But before that, the town had bought all the fish from your fishpond."

Upon hearing Director Chen's words, Chen Ming was secretly delighted, but he did not immediately show excessive excitement. Instead, he politely replied, "Thank you very much for your support, Director Chen."

Director Chen nodded, then turned to the accompanying staff and said, "Xiao Liu, take two hundred yuan as an advance payment. We'll bring the rest of the money after all the fish are caught."

After saying that, Xiao Liu took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to Chen Ming's father, Chen Yitian.

Chen Yitian accepted the money with a grateful smile on his face. "Thank you, Director Chen. We will certainly live up to your expectations."

Director Chen smiled and nodded, then said to Chen Ming, "Chen Ming, I hope you can come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible so that we can communicate with the farmers."

Chen Ming confidently replied, "No problem, Director Chen. I will put together a complete plan in the shortest possible time to ensure that the farmers are satisfied."

Director Chen nodded in satisfaction, then left the fishpond with his staff.

After they all left, Chen Yitian looked at the two hundred-yuan bills in his hand, his joy evident on his face.

"I didn't expect this, son. You did a great job. I was a little worried before, but now it seems you really didn't let me down."
