Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

The matter of the locust blossoms can be considered temporarily resolved. Luo Feng was exhausted by it, and it's time to let it go. As for Bao Sheng, I believe he'll figure things out on his own eventually.

The most pressing matter now is the construction of the food processing plant, as it was agreed upon verbally by the county head of H. Businessmen value integrity above all else, and Luo Feng certainly wouldn't go back on his word. However, given the current situation, building the plant within a month won't be an easy task. After all, they have nothing yet!

Luo Feng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His mind raced, and the situation was roughly as follows: the county head had secured the land for construction, but the promised funds hadn't been fully allocated. Furthermore, the factory was under construction, and recruitment hadn't even begun.

All of this seemed incredibly complicated, and for a moment, he didn't know where to begin. After finally sorting out his thoughts, Luo Feng decided to take a three-pronged approach: recruit workers where needed, and simultaneously begin construction at the soup workshop. The other issue was production equipment; Luo Feng decided to acquire the machinery first. Although the new factory wasn't finished, the old steel plant buildings could still be used. He believed the county magistrate wouldn't hold such a grudge against him for such a small matter.

Without further ado, Luo Feng knew he didn't have much time left. But before that, he needed to discuss it with Wang Xueying, since she knew the situation in the city much better than he did.

So Luo Feng returned to the shop and explained his thoughts to Wang Xueying. Of course, he didn't reveal a word about the verbal agreement he had with County Magistrate H. Some things are better left unsaid.

In fact, Wang Xueying was quite anxious about this matter. After all, her father was still in the hospital. Although the surgery was successful, the subsequent rehabilitation would still require a lot of money. In other words, from Wang Xueying's own perspective, she hoped that a decision could be made as soon as possible.

The two then continued their discussion inside the room, focusing on various details.

After some discussion, both of them agreed that it was best to deal with this matter as soon as possible, as the longer it dragged on, the more likely other unexpected things would happen. In the end, Luo Feng decided to make another trip to the city in two days. This time, in order to ensure efficiency, Luo Feng decided to travel light. In terms of personnel, in addition to himself and Wang Xueying, it would be best to bring Lao He along as well, so that everyone could feel at ease.

As for why he would go in a couple of days, it was because Luo Feng planned to give himself two days to sort things out regarding the cafeteria situation. Additionally, he also intended to visit the children who had suffered food poisoning. After all, this was a problem caused by his employee, and as the boss, he had to minimize the impact as much as possible. As the saying goes, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way; whether he liked it or not, he had to make this gesture. That way, even if the parents had a lot of resentment, they probably wouldn't be able to say much.

With this attitude in mind, Luo Feng spent the next two days shuttling between the school and the hospital. First, he visited the children at the hospital with gifts, repeatedly apologizing to the parents. Then, Luo Feng went to see the principal, hoping he would be lenient and allow him to continue working.

After this incident, the principal had originally planned to replace the cafeteria manager with someone else. However, he was hesitant to bring it up due to his relationship with County Magistrate Luo Feng.

His little scheme naturally didn't escape Luo Feng's notice, and seeing this, Luo Feng could only resort to persistent pleading. Finally, after he assured the principal that a similar incident would never happen again, the principal reluctantly agreed. However, it was clear the principal was unwilling to take the risk, so he made it a condition that the county magistrate act as guarantor.

Luo Feng knew it was inappropriate to approach the county magistrate about this matter at this time, but for the sake of his future business, he reluctantly agreed. He believed that as long as he resolved the food processing plant issue quickly, the county magistrate wouldn't say anything more.

That's true, but it seems the cafeteria can only reopen after he returns. It looks like he'll definitely have to bear this month's losses. Thinking about this, Luo Feng couldn't help but sigh, mainly because he didn't know how much loss it would ultimately amount to!

In order to minimize his losses, Luo Feng could only silently pray that nothing else would go wrong on this trip.

Regardless of Luo Feng's thoughts at that moment, time never stops flowing, and in the blink of an eye, two days had passed. As agreed beforehand, Luo Feng, along with Wang Xueying and Lao He, boarded the bus heading to the city once again.

Naturally, no one goes shopping empty-handed, so the three of them brought a full 10 yuan in cash this time. This was probably the largest amount Luo Feng could mobilize without everyone's consent. Although such a large transaction could never be completed in one go, Luo Feng was eager to get it done, and besides, it was their first meeting, so bringing a deposit would show his sincerity. This way, he might see some genuine items, or at least dispel any thoughts of being easily fooled.

Meanwhile, the county magistrate, thanks to the presence of his second-in-command, was fully aware of Luo Feng's every move. Seeing that Luo Feng had finally begun to take action, the county magistrate naturally didn't want to fall behind. After learning that Luo Feng had gone to the city, the county magistrate specifically called another meeting. He clearly stated that everyone should be united and work together to build the food processing plant as soon as possible. In addition, he specifically assigned tasks. According to the previous plan, they intended to begin recruiting.

Luo Feng was naturally aware of these matters; his contact with County Magistrate H had never ceased. Moreover, some general matters had actually been discussed by everyone beforehand.

Judging from the current situation, everything is developing in a positive direction. The county magistrate seems to be serious this time, and I believe no one will oppose him. If anyone dares to cause trouble, their fate is predictable.

Luo Feng couldn't worry about things in the county for the time being. He was focused on getting the production equipment as soon as possible so that he would have an explanation when the county head asked.
