Ye frowned and thought for a long time, and tasted something: "You mean, you go to Changping to pick up land to grow strawberries, instead of giving the seeds to the local fruit farmers to grow themselves?"

"Yes." Ling Mei nodded. "After all, Changping is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and we outsiders may not be able to convince the local people, let alone have the time and manpower to teach so many scattered peasants as we did in Nanping. Therefore, we can directly allocate land to our company as a strawberry planting base, and at the same time, we can also hire local farmers to learn in the planting process. In this way, we can generate income for the local area, and our company can also make money."

He Ye exhaled.

This one...... Isn't it a landlord?

Ling Mei painted a flatbread for him: "The people's standard of living is improving day by day, and the demand for high-end fruits is also growing. My plan is not just to grow strawberries. Instead, it is to thoroughly develop Changping and turn it into a strawberry country with a collection of tourism and commercial centers. I have already written a plan, and I plan to find time to talk to the government leaders of Changping County one day." She paused, "There's just a lack of introduction."

He Ye smacked his mouth: "You have a heart, one set of eyes." He paused, "I'll ask the teacher for his opinion first. Ming'er, you give me the plan."

Ling Mei smiled, "Okay."

After the three of them finished dinner, He Ye said goodbye first. Ling Mei took Zhuo Lin to blow the wind and eat by the bench by the lake in the school, and Zhuo Lin reported to her about the company by the way.

"The machine that the textile company bought is already on its way. In addition, I will buy two antique lace looms according to your request." Zhuo Lin frowned slightly as he recalled the two behemoths, "But I haven't been able to contact anyone who can operate the machines. Fortunately, Randy Miller volunteered. Said he was willing to try. He is now working on the machine in the factory in Guangzhou."

Ling Mei asked curiously, "Is that the engineer from the United States last time?" He hasn't returned home yet?"

A strange smile flashed across Zhuo Lin's face.

"You say, if we can keep him, would you like to?"

Ling Mei smiled, "Of course I do. Will he be?"

Zhuo Lin continued to smile strangely, "There is hope. I'll push harder."

Ling Mei said, "If you can really keep him, I will remember you a great achievement."

Zhuo Lin suddenly hesitated, his eyes turned around Ling Mei's face, and he wanted to speak.

Ling Meiqi said, "What's wrong?"

He took out a paper bag from his bag: "This is a new candy produced by a food processing factory, which has been put on the Friendship Store in Guangzhou. It's a bit more expensive, but it's still very popular."

Mei's eyes lit up.

There are many kinds of candy, there are three kinds of candy, including milk candy, fruit candy and gummies. Two flavors of each, pure milk and strawberry. The latest novelty is the gummies. The milk-flavored bite is like eating milk cake, not sweet or greasy, and the milk is rich. The strawberry flavor is sweet and refreshing, and it feels like eating a sweet strawberry! And the packaging of these candies is extremely distinctive. The toffee is a white paper with a cup of milk, and the strawberry toffee is a pink bubbling strawberry printed on the candy paper. Fruit candy is a transparent candy paper, and the color of the gummy candy candy paper is similar to that of toffee, and the wrapping is square, small and cute. At first glance, the Chinese and English logos make people think that they are imported from a foreign country.

Ling Mei smiled: "It's beautiful."

She tasted a few and nodded, "It tastes good." She asked curiously, "Isn't it okay to have candy of this quality that can't be sold?"

Zhuo Lin smiled: "Isn't this about the New Year? The factory has a large output and a good reputation for its products. So I want to take the brand to the whole country while it's hot."

Ling Mei groaned: "Push to the whole country? It's not easy. But it's not impossible."

The two of them said in unison: "Advertise."

Zhuo Lin said happily, "I want to do TV commercials."

Ling Mei snorted, "Of course. If you want to hit it, you will advertise it most effectively."

Zhuo Lin's smile deepened: "I came to the capital this time to find a director."

Ling Mei couldn't help asking, "Which big director do you have a crush on?"

Zhuo Lin smiled: "Shoot an advertisement, don't dare to find a director. I thought of Nortel to find a student from the directing department to do the film."

Ling Mei immediately said, "Good idea."

Hello students. Affordable and easy to use.

Zhuo Lin said reassuringly, "Wait for me to contact a good person, and then report the situation to you."

After the two finished talking about work, they talked about the recent situation of Ling Mei's family.

"Your father started rebuilding the house while you weren't at home."

Ling Mei's eyes crooked with a smile: "Then is my second uncle's family going to build a house too?" Is Sister Zichun and Brother Ling Hai's family affairs on the agenda?"

Zhuo Lin nodded and smiled: "It was your grandfather who said that your father is the boss, and you should build the house first. So your family has all moved to live in the dormitory of Lychee Garden, and by the way, help your sister-in-law to take care of those old oilmen who have cleared the wasteland."

Ling Mei approvingly, "My father is thoughtful."

As for the style, layout and decoration of the new house, Ling Mei gave carte blanche to Xie Genbao. Genbao has been in Guangzhou for so long, and when he saw the mansion of He Mansion, he already had hills and valleys in his chest. It was also he who pulled a group of workers and drew the drawings of the new house together with Yueshan.

There's a bit of an episode here.

The new house covers an area of 120 square meters. According to local customs, a son has a one-story house. The bottom floor is where the parents live. But Yueshan discussed with the village chief, and he wanted to build a four-story house. Leave one layer for Ling Mei.

The village chief was embarrassed: This batch can't come down.

Yue Shan reminded her with a smile: "My daughter is a talent, isn't it?"

"Definitely."

"Is she going to marry in the future?"

"It's because she's going to get married, so the girl can't get a house and land."

"But a talent like Ling Mei really married in a foreign country. You say, is it a loss to our village?"

Hongcun stopped squeaking.

Yue Shan continued to make persistent efforts: "Ling Mei has made great contributions to the prosperity of our village, right? Without her, would our village be where it is today? Hongcun, the old rules should also be adapted according to the actual situation, right?"

Hong Cun spat out his cigarette: "If I had that right, let alone leave a house for Ling Mei. is to give her a piece of land alone. Now it's from above, and I can't pass the trial."

Yue Shan's eyes lit up: "Build a house on a separate plot? That's a good feeling."

Hong Cun gave him a blank look: "Sensei is dreaming."

Yueshan said, "You try. How do you know if you can do it if you don't try?"

So Hongcun really sent the report of Yueshanda to the Housing Authority for approval.

Not surprisingly, the Housing Authority did not approve it.

The mountains are gone.

"Why does a girl make such a big contribution and don't even have a place to live?"

In a fit of rage, he saw an opportunity to contact Vice Mayor Zhang directly.

Vice Mayor Zhang sighed slightly.

He understands the decision of the Housing Authority's leadership. If the Xiao family is approved today, tomorrow they will all build a house for their daughter, will they approve it or not?

Yes, men can build houses, women can't, and that's really patriarchal. But the customs have always been like this, and changing the customs is like killing people. The consequences are unimaginable.

But Ling Mei's great credit would not be justified if she didn't even have her share in the family's new house. Besides, Ling Mei has repeatedly emphasized that she will continue to build her hometown after graduating from university.

He got up and looked at the scenery outside the window, rubbing his sour eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes touched the construction site not far away. Construction workers are putting the finishing touches on installing glass windows. This land is a new residential house funded by the municipal government.

Pregnant.

Vice Mayor Zhang returned to his seat and waved his pen: the proposal to pull out the new two-bedroom house under construction and reward Xiao Lingmei, who led Xianyun Six Villages out of poverty and became rich, was completed with a wave.
