Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

As soon as the meeting ended, Long Lifan couldn't wait to find Lin Guodong. "Captain, you absolutely have to reserve two spots for me at the mill processing plant!" Her words were filled with urgency and anticipation.

Lin Guodong was taken aback upon hearing this. In his memory, Long Zhiqing had always been a low-key person who never sought personal gain. What was wrong with him today?

Long Lifan seemed to see his confusion and explained with a smile, "I plan to send Yang and Liu, the two educated youths, to the mill processing plant. They will be of great use to the mill processing plant!"

Mentioning Yang and Liu, Lin Guodong suddenly realized, "Aren't these Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi, who went to the countryside with Long?" But he was still a little puzzled: "Look at them? Can they do it?"

Long Lifan nodded confidently: "Captain, don't underestimate them. Whether our mill processing plant can make big money depends entirely on the two of them!"

Long Lifan's thoughts lingered on Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi. After all, the seven of them had sworn sisterhood during the New Year, and the others had all found good places to go. How could she leave the two of them behind?

Yang Lijuan, beneath her fiery temper lies a passionate heart; she has the makings of a great salesperson.

Liu Pandi, though introverted, is grateful. Her act of following him that day shows that she has a clear sense of right and wrong; she's just a little bit love-struck.

Bringing them into the mill was a plan that had been lingering in Long Lifan's mind for many days. With just a little training, she was confident that she could make the two of them valuable assistants in the mill, attracting many new employees.

As for the training content, it was something she could easily handle, effortlessly helping them transform and grow.

That afternoon, news of the village committee's plan to build a mill and processing plant spread like wildfire throughout the village, quickly reaching every corner. The villagers reacted in various ways; most, like the previous team leader, believed it was tantamount to throwing money away.

However, as rumors of recruitment quietly spread, the atmosphere in the village subtly changed. The men, in particular, flocked to the village head to inquire about the exact date of construction, all eager to get involved. After all, the village head had clearly stated that the mill factory would primarily recruit male workers, which undoubtedly presented them with an excellent opportunity to prove themselves.

As evening fell, Long Lifan, with a mysterious smile, found Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi. Jiang Nian'an and Lin Yue's group curiously gathered around.

Long Lifan parted her lips slightly: "You two should already know about the mill and processing plant to be built in the village, right?" Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi nodded slightly, but their faces showed indifference, as if this matter had little to do with them.

Seeing this, Long Lifan's smile deepened: "I specially asked the captain to secure two spots for you." Everyone was astonished by these words.

Yang Qianqian, in particular, lived and ate with her cousin Yang Lijuan and knew all too well the hardships her cousin endured working in the fields. Although she hoped her cousin could escape the torment of farming, she never asked Long Lifan for help.

After all, Long Zhiqing had already helped her become a village doctor. If she made any more demands, wouldn't that be pushing her luck? Even between close friends, it's important to maintain a proper distance; going too far will only annoy others.

The onlookers were secretly pleased for Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi. It seemed that "Sister Fan" was indeed worthy of their title, and they were always remembered when there were benefits.

Upon hearing this, Liu Pandi and Yang Lijuan looked up abruptly, their eyes gleaming with disbelief, and asked nervously, "Long, no, Sister Fan, is this true?"

Long Lifan nodded solemnly and smiled, "Of course it's true. However, I'm not recommending you just because we're close; I also hope you can make money for the mill processing plant!"

"Make money?"

Yang Lijuan and Liu Pandi exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes. Deep down, they harbored serious doubts about whether the mill processing plant could make money. After all, they had been in the countryside for almost a year and had some understanding of the living conditions of the commune members.

The commune members preferred to tend to the old stone mills, grinding grain bit by bit, rather than send it to the commune's processing plant. They saw this and remembered it. Therefore, they didn't have much hope for the mill's future, let alone whether it would be profitable. Although Long Lifan's words were somewhat tempting, their doubts weren't completely dispelled.

"Ah."

Long Lifan nodded confidently, her eyes gleaming with determination. She paused slightly, then changed the subject, "However, before that, I need to give you two some special training."

"Training?" Upon hearing this, the others looked puzzled, staring at Long Lifan with confusion, wondering what she meant by those words.

Seeing this, Long Lifan smiled slightly and began to explain in detail the various drawbacks of the commune's mill and processing plant, as well as what they were going to do next. Her words were like a key, unlocking a whole new world for everyone, making them suddenly realize the truth.

After a thorough and easy-to-understand analysis, Long Lifan concluded: "Therefore, your core task is to make every member who comes to work feel at home and feel that every penny spent is worthwhile. Only in this way will they be willing to come back again and even take the initiative to spread the word about us and build a good reputation."

"You all must remember one thing: the customer is God! Especially Lijuan, you must change your fiery temper. You must not treat the commune members who come to process their goods like that. We cannot be like the employees of the commune's mill processing plant..." Long Lifan earnestly instructed.

"Sister Fan, don't worry, we definitely won't let you down!" Yang Lijuan quickly pulled Liu Pandi aside to express her assurance.

"Yes, I believe you!" Long Lifan nodded in satisfaction. "It's getting late, everyone should go back and get some rest! You two should also go back and digest what I just said!"

"Cousin, that's great! I have a job now!"

As soon as Yang Lijuan returned to her room, she couldn't wait to collapse onto the bed. Her smile was like a blooming flower, unable to hide her excitement and joy. "It all feels like a dream!"

"Yes, it's good to have a job!" Yang Qianqian stood by the bed, looking at her cousin's overjoyed expression, and was genuinely happy for her. "Sister Fan is really amazing, no wonder everyone wants to recognize her as their older sister. She always thinks of everyone when good things happen to her."

Yang Qianqian was filled with emotion: How difficult was it for an educated youth to go to the countryside? Just look at those few educated youth at the settlement! Sister Kefan led them on a different path.

"Yes!"

Yang Lijuan nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with gratitude. "I must remember Sister Fan's words, especially how to change my hot temper. If anything goes wrong because of me, I would really be letting Sister Fan down!"

"It's best if you think that way!"
