Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Back in his small office at the pig farm, Zhang Yongsheng enthusiastically got to work, and soon the fragrant pork hot pot was ready.

In these days, when there's not much oil or fat, everyone's mouth waters at the sight of meat.

Li Hanliang was also craving something, so he decided to ignore everything else and eat his fill first.

After everyone ate in silence for a while, and were full, Li Hanliang said, "Since our farm is going to expand, we can't be careless about sales. Brother Zhang, don't worry, I can sell as much stuff as you want."

Zhang Yongsheng smirked, adopting the air of a superior, and patted Li Hanliang on the shoulder, "Hanliang, that's right. Keep up the good work. Don't worry, you just focus on expanding the territory outside. I'll take care of things back home. Our pig farm will definitely get better and better! I won't let you down!"

"Captain Han, don't you think so?"

Han Jianguo was quite drunk, and being an honest man, he was satisfied to see Li Hanliang and Zhang Yongsheng getting along so well. He picked up his pipe and said, "Not bad, not bad! With the two of you here, our Xiaoliangzhuang brigade will definitely be able to contribute more to the motherland!"

"Great, that's wonderful. Our lives will definitely get better and better."

Li Hanliang agrees with this statement.

Although this era was one of poverty, everything was full of hope.

As long as he dares to think and act, and seizes every opportunity he can, his achievements will surely be even greater than before.

Thinking of his grand business plans, Li Hanliang raised his glass and solemnly toasted Han Jianguo, saying, "Uncle Han, no matter what, I will never forget you. You are my great benefactor."

As for Zhang Yongsheng, that treacherous villain, it's a case of the brave prevailing when paths cross, let's see who wins in the end.

Li Hanliang tilted his head back and drank the rest of the liquor, feeling warm all over. He didn't even give Zhang Yongsheng a second glance.

Zhang Yongsheng understood that Li Hanliang had seen through his little scheme.

But so what? He was just a nobody at the pig farm. Li Hanliang, this young man, knew nothing about raising pigs or managing things. He just knew how to sell his goods. Why should he listen to Li Hanliang?

Liu Quanyou watched this scene and just thought it was wonderful.

These days, with meat to eat and wine to drink, are so much better than when we don't know where our next meal will come from.

"Leader, you are simply the savior of our Xiaoliangzhuang brigade!" Liu Quanyou raised his glass, sincerely toasting Li Hanliang.

Li Hanliang didn't take Zhang Yongsheng's petty schemes seriously. He didn't consider Zhang Yongsheng a rival at all, and he couldn't be bothered to argue with him.

However, taking advantage of this incident, he can get some work points in advance, which will make things easier when he goes to the county office tomorrow.

Upon hearing his suggestion, Zhang Yongsheng didn't want to offend him too much, so he could only agree and give him the work points for the pig farm in advance.

The next morning, Li Hanliang went into the city. He first went to the technical school cafeteria and, while the students were in class, told Zhou Weijun about what he had found out.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Weijun's dignified face contorted with anger. "You've really gotten too bold!"

"These young people have only enjoyed a few good days, and they've already corrupted their consciences! They're using public funds to harm the people!"

He slammed his fist on the table in anger, a thunderous sound emanating from him, and the aura of a veteran's authority filled the air.

Li Hanliang greatly respected his abilities and vision, and at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a surge of youthful spirit.

"Old Zhou, don't worry, in two more days I'll make them pay the price!"

Li Hanliang already had a plan in mind; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a promise to Zhou Weijun.

Zhou Weijun also greatly admired Li Hanliang, and seeing a younger generation like Li Hanliang brought him some comfort.

“Sigh,” Zhou Weijun began, but still sighed, “Hanliang, I know your abilities; you’re an outstanding young man. But this matter is not easy to handle.”

It seems that this time, he will have to take matters into his own hands.

Li Hanliang, however, was full of confidence. "Uncle Zhou, I know your concerns. You're worried that too many people will be involved, and I might not be able to handle it well, causing unnecessary trouble for Anfeng County, right?"

Zhou Weijun nodded; of course, he also had this concern.

Li Hanliang said, "I've thought this through carefully. At the beginning, we can't take too big a step, otherwise it will create panic and cause the people to lose faith in the supply and marketing cooperatives and other systems, which will be difficult to resolve. Therefore, we need to discuss this matter thoroughly..."

Li Hanliang explained his ideas to Old Zhou in detail, and Zhou Weijun agreed.

Moreover, the way he looked at Li Hanliang made him admire him even more.

He himself was the son of a farmer. Later, he went to the army to train and learned a lot from the instructors and political commissars. Only then did he understand what it means to act with moderation, what military strategy is, and what it means to plan before acting.

But Li Hanliang was just a young man in his early twenties who had never experienced much in the village. Yet he could speak so clearly, which showed that he was a promising talent.

"Hanliang, you have such vision and perspective at such a young age. Your future is limitless," Zhou Weijun said with satisfaction.

Li Hanliang was very grateful for his praise, but now was not the time for pleasantries.

The students were about to leave school when someone with ulterior motives noticed and informed Principal Zhou, which caused a problem.

Li Hanliang quickly shared his idea with Zhou Weijun, which was to have him give a newspaper interview as a retired veteran.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to pretend to be a student and expose the fact that the pork was injected with water.

He originally thought this was the simplest and most effective method, and that Mr. Zhou would definitely cooperate. But to his surprise, Mr. Zhou waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this, saying, "This won't do, this interview definitely won't do."

Li Hanliang was puzzled. "Old Zhou, it's a good thing that you, a retired veteran, are still contributing your remaining energy. The people will definitely like to see it, and it will also set a good example for Anfeng County."

"Hanliang, you don't need to persuade me about this," Old Zhou said apologetically. "I know it's a good idea, but if I don't help you, I'll only be causing you trouble. Here's what we'll do: you don't need to worry about this anymore, I'll handle the rest."

"I'll contact you again after I've sorted things out at school. I promise you, as long as your pork is up to standard, I will definitely buy it and continue to do so long-term. This promise will never change."

Li Hanliang was confused by him, but he was unwilling to force him to do something against his will.

"Old Zhou, please don't act yet. Give me another half a day to think of a solution."

Li Hanliang stood up, not wanting to disturb him any longer.

This was something he had promised Old Zhou, and he should have handled it himself. Old Zhou's help was a favor, and not helping was his right. How could he possibly push the responsibility onto Old Zhou?
