Reborn in 1979, with a female educated youth lying next to me.

Guo Jianjun was stunned.

say what?

Prior to this, Guo Jianjun knew that the bamboo forest in Xili Village was contracted by Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe together.

Now that they want to contract the bamboo forest in Dongli Village, Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe should be discussing it together; it should be the two of them who decide.

Why are you now specifically asking me to speak by name?

Swallowing hard in confusion, Guo Jianjun asked blankly, "What did you say?"

Tell me your thoughts and plans.

"This is between the two of you, why am I bringing up my plans?"

Guo Jianjun was completely bewildered, utterly clueless.

Liu Jia laughed.

“Brother Jun, I didn’t explain myself clearly. If you hadn’t taken me to see Zhou Ping’an, we wouldn’t have been able to finalize our business deal.”

"I had no intention of continuing to contract the bamboo forest in Dongli Village."

"You deserve half the credit for the deal being finalized, so I need to hear your opinion on contracting the bamboo forest."

"Here's what I'm thinking: if you're not willing to invest, then just pretend I didn't say anything. We'll stay the same as before."

"But if you're thinking of investing, I absolutely won't refuse!"

"Didn't they say it would cost 3,000 yuan for 20 mu of land? If Brother Li has no problems, the three of us can split the cost equally."

Finish what you have to say.

Before Guo Jianjun could react, Liu Jia looked at Li Zhenhe.

“Brother Li, I also need to ask your opinion on this matter. After all, the investment is not a small amount, and you also need to prepare for your wedding with Caixia. You should also consider whether or not to invest.”

Liu Jia made his point very clear, taking into account the information provided by Guo Jianjun.

On the other hand, he also thought about Li Zhenhe's marriage to Zhou Caixia.

After Liu Jia said that, Li Zhenhe and Guo Jianjun finally understood.

“Sure, no problem. Actually, I’ve been wanting to work with you guys for a while now, but there just hasn’t been a suitable opportunity.”

Guo Jianjun was visibly excited, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

I've always been unwilling to settle for a mundane job as a driver for my boss; I've always dreamed of achieving something like Liu Jia.

However, opportunities don't just come to you whenever you want.

Guo Jianjun was also aware of this.

So while you may be anxious, reality is another matter entirely.

Hearing Liu Jia say this, Guo Jianjun was naturally pleased.

But soon, Guo Jianjun did some mental calculations.

The total investment is three thousand yuan. If it is split equally, wouldn't my share be the same as Liu Jia and Li Zhenhe's?

That would be somewhat inappropriate.

"Sanzi, isn't this a bit inappropriate? The bamboo forest is mainly managed by the two of you, and I can't help much, so how can I take so many shares?"

"Money is not a problem, I can take it out anytime, it's just not appropriate to do it this way."

"How about I take 500% of the shares, and you and Brother Li split the rest?"

After saying that, Guo Jianjun emphasized again that he did this not because he was unwilling to spend money, but because he wanted to clarify their dominant position.

Liu Jia didn't think much of it, but when Guo Jianjun said that, Liu Jia still glanced at Li Zhenhe.

"I can't help you now, it's no big deal. How about I give you five hundred?"

"Brother Li, what are you saying? When I go back to school, won't the factory still need you to manage it? You've already made five hundred?"

If Guo Jianjun only wanted 500, Liu Jia could understand it. But now that Li Zhenhe also wanted 500, Liu Jia just couldn't understand it.

“I’m not trying to follow Jianjun’s example, but this is just how things are. Look at you now, you’re a key figure in the factory, so naturally you should have a larger share.”

"Even if you go back to school, you'll still be the factory manager here!"

"To be honest, Sanzi, I'm just benefiting from this."

Having said that, Liu Jia frowned slightly.

If Li Zhenhe and Guo Jianjun each own 500 shares, then I would own more than 2,000.

Isn't this a bit too much?

Liu Jia's gaze lingered on Guo Jianjun for a moment, then turned to Li Zhenhe.

Suddenly, an idea flashed into my mind.

“In that case, let’s set aside another 500 shares. I’ll ask Uncle Zhou what he thinks.”

As soon as these words came out.

Guo Jianjun and Li Zhenhe nodded at the same time.

Since he contracted the bamboo forest, Zhou Fengshou has handled all matters concerning the village.

Liu Jia once said that he would give Zhou Fengshou some subsidies and rewards, but Zhou Fengshou refused.

Li Zhenhe was fully aware of this matter.

Guo Jianjun had also heard of it.

Now that such an opportunity is presented to us, if Liu Jia wants Zhou Feng to take a stake, there's nothing to object to.

"Okay, I think this is a good idea. You decide what to do."

After Guo Jianjun spoke, Li Zhenhe smiled.

Zhou Fengshou is his future father-in-law, and Liu Jia is like a brother to him. In this matter, he has no choice but to agree.

Next, the three of them began to think about the rest.

"When we were collecting bamboo today, Zhou Ping'an was very straightforward. He paid on the spot and said that he would use the same truck again in two days."

"That's pretty good, at least the money comes in faster."

Upon learning that Zhou Ping'an's business dealings with Liu Jia had returned to normal, Guo Jianjun couldn't hide his joy.

"The bamboo forest is very dense now. I think it would be a good opportunity to tidy it up. Once the contract from Dongli Village comes through, I'll probably have to do a thorough cleaning as well."

After saying that, Liu Jia bit her lip.

Guo Jianjun and Li Zhenhe exchanged a glance.

Li Zhenhe: "Sanzi, we don't know anything about how bamboo grows, so you just do what you think is best. Just let me know when you need me to do some work."

Guo Jianjun: "I also pay attention to some business matters, mainly those new policies and trends."

Hearing what the two of them said, Liu Jia nodded in agreement.

About twenty minutes later.

The three of them then left the park.

Before leaving, Guo Jianjun said he would send the money over tomorrow.

Li Zhenhe followed Liu Jia, opened his mouth, and then closed it again.

"Brother Li, what's wrong? Are you short of funds? I have some money here, I'll lend it to you."

Li Zhenhe hesitated, and Liu Jia instinctively thought it might be a funding issue.

Li Zhenhe shook his head.

"No, I'm thinking of going back with you."

Liu Jia was also stunned, and then thought of Zhou Caixia.

With a grin, Liu Jia looked at Li Zhenhe and said, "I understand, you miss Caixia, don't you?"

Li Zhenhe's face flushed red, and he looked embarrassed.

"Yes, it's been a while since I've had a proper conversation with Caixia, but not entirely."

"What you're saying is not entirely true. Zhou Caixia is your fiancée now, so go ahead and think about it. I'm not laughing at you."

“Sanzi, what you said is one reason, but the main reason I’m going back with you this time is to discuss with Caixia what you mentioned today.”

Li Zhenhe paused at this point.

"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I think it's best to tell Caixia about this."

"Although we're not married yet, I already consider her family. I think it's better to tell her, don't you think?"

Liu Jia raised an eyebrow.

"Of course! I'm overjoyed that you think that way. Caixia is truly blessed to have met you!"

Liu Jia's words were not an exaggeration at all, nor did he intend to praise Li Zhenhe.

Li Zhenhe's high regard for Zhou Caixia shows that he cares about her.

Zhou Caixia will have a perfect ending in the future, which is exactly what Liu Jia hopes for.

Besides, Li Zhenhe is like a brother to me. If they are living well, I will naturally be happy too.

"Alright, stop delaying, let's go quickly. The sooner you get back, the sooner you can talk to Caixia."

Hearing Liu Jia say this, Li Zhenhe quickly took two more steps.

The two of them went into the tractor's cab together.

……

Xili Village.

The families who helped cut the bamboo hadn't even returned yet; they were already blocked by people while they were still on their way.

Everyone started asking questions, all about Liu Jia cutting bamboo.

Some people tried to subtly inquire whether Liu Jia's bamboo was failing.

Some people couldn't wait and asked directly, "Did Liu Jia lose money?"

Those who were doing the work were completely baffled by the questions.

He blinked for a long time but couldn't say anything.

"Alright, stop hiding it. Liu Jia must have given you hush money, right?"

"This can't be hidden any longer. Truckload after truckload of bamboo are being hauled out, and sooner or later the truth will come out."

“It’s only thirty acres of land. Even if you haul two cartloads a day, how many days can that last? Don’t try to cover for Liu Jia.”

“We’re all from the same village. Just because Liu Xia gave you some benefits doesn’t mean you can forget about everything!”

"Yes, yes, tell me quickly, what exactly happened? Is Liu Jia's factory also closing down?"

Some people speak tactfully, while others ask more direct questions.

Seeing that no one believed him after he had talked for so long, someone directly asked a question.

“You won’t believe me even if I tell you, so why do you keep urging us to tell you? If you really care about Liu Jia, why don’t you ask him yourselves?”

"Anyway, when we came back, the people in the factory were still weaving baskets, and they didn't say they were quitting."

"I think you're just jealous, you can't stand seeing others do well, can you?"

The words were unpleasant to hear, and they went straight to the point.

As soon as these words were spoken.

Nine out of ten people who had just formed a circle had unnatural expressions on their faces.

Someone laughed and tried to smooth things over.

"What are you saying? It's heartbreaking to see perfectly good bamboo being cut down. We didn't mean anything by it."

The person who had just spoken twisted his neck and said, "Forget it, I've figured it out. If we don't say that Liu Jia's factory went bankrupt and that Liu Jia lost money, you won't leave at all!"

"Look at you, how can you talk like that? Come on, let's go now!"

Seeing that someone had a sour face, those who were asking for gossip were too embarrassed to continue asking.

So, seeing that the donkey had escaped, they hurriedly dispersed.

not long time.

Liu Jia's tractor returned to Xili Village.

This time, the tractor didn't stop at the factory, but in front of Zhou Fengshou's house.

Liu Jia wanted to discuss the shareholding with Zhou Fengshou, so Li Zhenhe came down with him.

Coincidentally.

At this time, Zhou Caixia was also at home.

Zhou Caixia was stunned when she saw anyone appear in the yard, and it took her a long time to recover.

"What are you doing? Can't you even speak properly anymore? Should I go stand on the street for a while longer?"

Liu Jia smiled and looked at Li Zhenhe, then at Zhou Caixia.

Zhou Caixia finally came to her senses.

“Who can’t speak? It’s just that you came too suddenly,” Zhou Caixia said, glancing specifically at Li Zhenhe. “And you, you didn’t even tell me you were coming.”

“I followed Sanzi’s tractor back. Caixia, I came to find you. I have something to discuss with you.”

Li Zhenhe had just finished speaking.

The curtain of the north room was suddenly lifted.

Followed by.

Zhou Fengshou came out with hand-rolled cigarettes in his hand.

"Sanzi is back? And Xiao Li is here too?"

Liu Jia hummed in agreement.

Li Zhenhe immediately stood up straight beside him.

"Uncle Zhou, I'm so sorry, I was in such a hurry to get back that I didn't prepare anything."

Zhou Fengshou smiled and said, "What are you preparing? We have everything we need at home. Come on in."

As soon as Zhou Fengshou finished speaking, Liu Jia quickly refused.

"No, Uncle Zhou, we have something to discuss, and Brother Li and Caixia also have something to talk about."

Zhou Fengshou was stunned for a moment.
