Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

Yingzi's words deeply moved Lu Wanping.

Yup!

Why listen to what others say?

Even if your boyfriend is being gossiped about, he has to tell you himself to believe it. If others can't stand to see you doing well, whatever they say will only make you unhappy, so why should you believe them?

"Yes! Sister-in-law, you're right!"

Since the incident at Fragrant Hills, Lu Wanping has stopped calling Yingzi "Yingzi" and started calling her "sister-in-law." Now, she calls her that with genuine sincerity.

Once the point of contention was resolved, Lu Wanping became happy and began to criticize the people who had said those things.

"You have no idea how annoying those people are. They don't even know you, yet they just spout nonsense."

Yingzi continued to pull the curtain back, smiling as she asked, "What did they say?"

"So, that educated youth named Jiang Sen who came back from the Great Northern Wilderness left alone with a female educated youth at the gathering. He even said that other women were also infatuated with him. He's obviously not a good person; he just likes to seduce female comrades! Tell me, what can I do if I hear that?" After saying that, she sighed, "But I couldn't argue with them, and I was so angry. Now it's fine. If I hear something like that again, I'll just let them say it to my face and see what they do! Humph!"

Yingzi laughed uncontrollably, "Alright, alright, I already told you not to pay any attention to them. Just let them talk. Just listen to it as a story."

"That's true! Hehe..."

While the two were chatting animatedly outside, Jiang Sen, completely unaware of what was happening, was also having a passionate conversation with Luo Jianshe and Wang Jianguo in his study.

If Wang Jianguo's vision is followed, they will be able to grow the company into a large and powerful enterprise in just a few years, and continue to expand outwards and diversify their operations.

"Brother, it's a good thing you agreed to join our company. Otherwise, if you had started your own company, you would have been our biggest competitor!"

Luo Jianshe sighed deeply.

Wang Jianguo laughed and shook his head. "I'm just talking theory. If it's really going to be implemented, we'll be feeling our way across the river, since the national policy hasn't been officially released yet."

"Don't worry, it will be released by the end of the year at the latest."

Wang Jianguo looked at Jiang Sen, who nodded at him. "That's right."

“Then I’ll test the waters for you first!” Wang Jianguo said. “I also want to see if what I learned from books can actually be useful in practice.”

"Go ahead and try!" Luo Jianshe said. "We have money and manpower. But once we hand the company over to you, we'll just be hands-off managers, right?"

Wang Jianguo laughed heartily, "Just trust me."

Luo Jianshe pointed at Jiang Sen, "Do you believe him?" Seeing Wang Jianguo nod, he nodded as well, "That's settled then! You believe him, and I believe him, so there's no problem!"

Jiang Sen blinked. "Are you treating me like a door god?"

"Ha ha……"

The three of them chatted until very late before ending their conversation. Luo Jianshe then gave Wang Jianguo a ride and took him back to school.

Jiang Sen put his arm around Yingzi and walked back.

"I'm so tired! Honey, come inside and give me a back massage!"

The two entered the gate while talking, and after the gate closed, a dark figure walked out from the alley across the street.

He peeked in the direction the jeep had left, then looked towards the gate, and after a while, turned and left.

The next day, as soon as Jiang Sen arrived at the company, the farm called.

It was Bai Wenqu again.

"Xiao Jiang, let me tell you, the people from the division headquarters and the people from the farm got into a fight. I think I heard Accountant Zhang say something like this."

Jiang Sen frowned. He wasn't interested in Accountant Zhang; at most, he only reported him because of his son, Zhang Shuibing.

They're just using this as a pretext.

At best, he was just a small shrimp who accidentally swam into the pond and became a cold dish for the big fish to fight over.

"Are the farm manager and the others alright?"

"They're alright, but I heard they're going to take the old cripple away or something. Don't you think that's just picking on an honest person to bully?"

"Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Bai!" Jiang Sen said. "Also, was there any problem with the purchase order we sent?"

"That's no problem. As soon as we received the purchase order, the manager notified me and Sister Ma, and asked us to take the lead in this. Luckily, it was assigned to us, otherwise the higher-ups would have used this to make trouble again."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Bai. I'll send you some more cigarettes and alcohol later."

Why are you being so polite with me?

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sen became somewhat anxious.

The old cripple shouldered such a huge burden all by himself; a few years ago, he probably wouldn't have had a problem.

But now, it's clear that those people aren't targeting him, so even if he takes the blame, it won't help; at most, he'll just get himself involved.

Jiang Sen called Luo Jianshe, told him about the farm, and finally said, "Brother, I've never asked you for anything. I just hope that Old Cripple is alright. Even if they can't accommodate him there, give him to me. My family has plenty of space."

Luo Jianshe sighed and said, "I'm not trying to give you a platitude, but this matter is very complicated. My dad and Uncle Wang haven't come back for the past few days, so there might be some big changes."

"And what about this matter?"

"An insignificant person... should be fine, wait for my news!"

Jiang Sen breathed a sigh of relief. His mind was in turmoil in the office, and he was unable to do anything.

Fortunately, Wang Jianguo arrived and allowed him to put these things aside for the time being.

“You’re familiar with this place.” Jiang Sen gestured for him to sit at the desk opposite him. “This is your office too. Here are the ledgers. Just let me know if you need anything. I’ll call them over so you can get acquainted with them.”

He called Mu Dazhuang and another person over, told them that Wang Jianguo would be the company's vice general manager from now on, and that they should contact him directly if they had any problems. Then he told them to go back to work.

Wang Jianguo said, "I need a few more people, an accountant and a salesperson."

"You can hire him."

"There's still so much money in the account?" Wang Jianguo was somewhat surprised after looking at the account book.

"Oh, every month, after Jianshe, Haiyang, and I share the profits, the rest goes into the company's funds, including their salaries and other expenses. Now it includes your salary too. Jianshe and I discussed it, and he said that after the three of us shareholders share the profits, five percent of the remaining profit will be used to pay your salary."

"No, no!" Wang Jianguo waved his hands repeatedly.

"Too little?"

"What? That's too much! Just give me the same salary as them, five percent, that's eight hundred yuan a month, that's too much!"

"It's settled!" Jiang Sen laughed. "Objections are overruled! Actually, this is fine too; this place is practically your own company now, isn't it?"

The five percent that Jiang Sen mentioned refers to the five percent of the money that remains after they have divided the profits each month; it does not represent actual shares.

He also asked Luo Jianshe if he was giving too much. Luo Jianshe said, "This is to give him a signal that he's not an outsider, so he'll work wholeheartedly for you, which is equivalent to working for himself. The more he earns, the more he gets. Where else can you find such talent if you don't let him have enough to eat?"

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; Luo Jianshe is indeed very decisive.

Finally, Wang Jianguo agreed.

"Okay! I only need to go to school two days a week, and for exams, I can come over at other times."

"Then I won't have to come every day!" Jiang Sen laughed heartily. "You don't know, since this company started, I haven't slept in once. Oh, right, I just sent a purchase order to the farm, the receipt is here!"

Jiang Sen got up, took out a stack of retention slips from the drawer, and handed them to Wang Jianguo.

"They're all here. You can keep them from now on."

"So you're already ordering me around?" Wang Jianguo joked.

"The New Year is coming soon, keep going!"
