Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

He could almost see Zhuge Qingyun's smug face. He absolutely couldn't let Zhuge Qingyun see him make a fool of himself. This breeding farm had to be taken seriously.

Replace him! He absolutely must be replaced!

The original intention of appointing Shen Yingjun as the manager of the breeding farm was mainly to provoke Zhuge Qingyun and his group.

Because it was Zhuge Qingyun and his group who brought down Station Chief Shen of the grain depot in the first place, isn't it just a deliberate act to show them that they should be appointing someone from the Shen family as the depot manager?

But unexpectedly, Shen Yingjun was really too disappointing. In just a few months, he turned a thriving breeding farm into this mess.

They need to inform the Kyoto Garrison Command; if they really get involved, they'll definitely embarrass themselves this time.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone on the table again and called a meeting with several senior executives to discuss matters concerning the steel rolling mill, and of course, the most important matter was the livestock farm.

……

After receiving instructions from his superiors, Zhang Zhenshan also gathered several deputy directors together to discuss the selection of the farm manager.

"No, we absolutely cannot let him go back to the farm. Even if he were to go back, it shouldn't be now. If we let Su Chen go back now, wouldn't that mean we made a mistake by putting Su Chen in the foundry last time? What we need to do now is to select a new farm manager, hoping that he can lead the farm out of its current predicament."

Upon hearing someone suggest that Su Chen be brought back to the farm as its manager, Zhang Zhenshan immediately recalled what Su Chen had said in the office a few days earlier.

He was the one who refused in the first place. It's already a favor that I'm not making things difficult for her; getting him back to the farm is out of the question. Even if it means shutting the farm down, I won't let Su Chen get involved.

Upon hearing Zhang Zhenshan's stern words, the deputy director who had just made the suggestion immediately shut his mouth. He had only said it casually, but judging from Zhang Zhenshan's reaction afterward, he had truly touched Zhang Zhenshan's sore spot.

Perhaps realizing he had been too serious, Zhang Zhenshan smiled slightly on his otherwise solemn face.

"Everyone, please don't take it to heart. Things haven't reached the point of no return. Right now, our most important task is to select someone who can lead Y out of this predicament. Director Wang, do you have any good ideas?"

Upon hearing Zhang Zhenshan call his name, Director Wang's heart leaped into his throat. The words Su Chen had spoken in the office that day involuntarily surfaced in Director Wang's mind.

If Zhang Zhenshan sends me to the breeding farm, I'll be in big trouble.

"Ahem! Director Zhang, what I mean is this: although the farm is not very big, it is very important, especially since it can bring a continuous supply of materials to our steel rolling mill. From this point of view, the existence of the farm is not insignificant. So I think the person who will fill it must be someone who is bold and meticulous."

Director Wang said a lot, but in the end he didn't say anything substantial.

He glanced at Director Wang out of the corner of his eye, and for a moment he really wanted Director Wang to go to the farm to clean up the mess, but the thought only lasted a few seconds before he suppressed it.

Zhang Zhenshan knew very well what kind of person Director Wang was; he was simply not cut out for this job.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and finally the bad news was confirmed.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's arrange it this way. Director Hao, don't worry, the steel mill will definitely provide the most support. As for the current debts of the breeding farm, you don't need to worry either. The higher-ups will naturally come forward to negotiate with the garrison."

At this moment, Director Hao was on the verge of tears. "You bunch of bastards! There are so many people in the meeting room, why did you have to choose me?"

The situation at the farm was no secret. Although Zhang Zhenshan said that he didn't need to worry about the debt, what about everything else? Now the farm was basically like a terminally ill old man, with no meaning other than prolonging its life.

"Director Hao, you are the youngest and most hardworking among us. We are all at ease entrusting the management of the farm to you. I believe that under your leadership, the farm will definitely turn the tide and become the most important farm for our steel rolling mill."

Seeing the resentful look in Director Hao's eyes, Zhang Zhenshan had no choice but to offer some comforting words. Of course, those words weren't just empty promises; they reflected the deep desires in Zhang Zhenshan and his colleagues' hearts, mainly because the higher-ups already knew about it and had instructed them to manage the farm well.

"Yes! Please rest assured, Director Zhang, I will do my best to completely change the current situation of the farm."

Now that the decision had been made, Director Hao stopped worrying about it. If the farm could be revitalized under his leadership, he would surely receive praise from his superiors and ride that wave to new heights.

The farm was getting a new leader. Although they tried their best to keep it a secret, the people at the steel mill found out anyway. Rumors spread throughout the steel mill, and everyone was speculating about who would replace Shen Yingjun as the new manager of the farm.

Even in the foundry workshop, people were talking about it, and some even thought that Su Chen should be allowed to go back and continue to contribute to the breeding farm.

"Comrade Su, if you go to the breeding farm, don't forget your fellow workers in the foundry."

Inside the foundry, Su Chen was gathered together by a dozen workers, who all expressed their goodwill towards him.

“I appreciate your kind intentions, but it depends on how the higher-ups arrange things. I don’t think there’s a high chance I’ll be allowed to go back, because I’ve been here for so long and Director Zhang hasn’t even discussed the steel rolling mill with me. So don’t get your hopes up.”

Su Chen shook his head helplessly at everyone's enthusiasm. If it were a few days ago, Zhang Zhenshan might have really wanted him to return to the farm, but ever since he refused that day, Zhang Zhenshan had never contacted him again, let alone now that the farm had a new manager. How could such a good thing happen to him?

Sure enough, while everyone was speculating, rumors started circulating in the office that the person replacing Shen Yingjun this time would be Deputy Director Hao of the Revolutionary Committee. As for Su Chen, no one had mentioned him, but Director Zhang directly rejected him.

When the news reached the foundry, everyone was very disappointed, but Su Chen was not surprised at all. It would have been strange if he had to go there.
