He Lanfang was stunned, not knowing what to do for a moment, and had already reached into her pocket to take out the money.

Zhu Xiaomin pulled her and said, "We're about to go in." She turned around and smiled at Guo Hongtao, "You're lucky, Sister Guo. Come in and find us later." As she said that, she waved the hand holding the oil-paper bag at her and ran away with He Lanfang.

Guo Hongtao was stunned and shouted, "Hey!"

When the old man saw that she didn't take the money and the other two had already gone in, he urged her, "Girl, are you going to buy it or not? If not, I will go in too."

Guo Hongtao muttered: "How stingy! It's just a movie ticket. You even bought mooncakes." She endured the pain and took out two dimes and gave them to the old man, then took the movie ticket from him.

He Lanfang followed Zhu Xiaomin through the crowd, found her seat and sat down. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave her a thumbs up: "It has to be you. If it wasn't for you just now, I don't know what I would have done."

Zhu Xiaomin replied calmly: "I have seen many people who are more shameless than her. To deal with such a person, you have to be thick-skinned. She is even more shameless. You should refuse when you should."

He Lanfang looked at her enviously and whispered, "I'm different from you. You are all regular employees, and I'm on secondment."

Zhu Xiaomin turned her head to look at her: "Whether you can stay or not, does she have the final say, or do I have the final say?"

He Lanfang was stunned: "At least, she will not say bad things about me in front of the leaders, right?"

Zhu Xiaomin chuckled and shook her head slightly: "Good popularity? Your method will only make people think that you are easy to bully."

He Lanfang was silent for a moment, not knowing whether she agreed or not, and said nothing more.

At this time, the movie had already started, so Zhu Xiaomin stopped talking, munched on the mooncake, and concentrated on watching the movie.

Fortunately, Guo Hongtao didn't come over until the movie was over, and it was estimated that no one gave her an exchange ticket.

But when the two came out after watching the movie, they saw Guo Hongtao waiting at the door, complaining: "We agreed to watch it together, but you didn't come to find me."

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "Sister Guo, did you really buy that ticket? It's only two cents, I can't bear to give it to you."

Guo Hongtao felt pained when she thought about it, and snorted, "I already said it, you two left too fast." She followed the two out, saying, "The three of us are going to the movies, and you all have five-cent tickets, and I have twenty cents. This is not good. Otherwise, each of you can give me five cents, and then we can all have ten-cent tickets."

What is this operation?

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned to find that after living two lives, she still encountered strange things she had never seen before.

He Lanfang was also a little surprised, but when she looked at her, she was speechless.

Guo Hongtao stared at the two people. Seeing that neither of them had the intention to take the money, she became dissatisfied again: "You guys are sitting in a good seat. I don't care. Besides, I didn't even eat the mooncakes."

He Lanfang finally stammered, "But, those are your movie tickets, why are you asking us to share the cost?"

"We watched it together. Both of you paid five cents. It's not fair." Guo Hongtao said as if it was a matter of course.

Zhu Xiaomin laughed angrily: "Sister Guo, I remember that we didn't invite you. We watched our own movies. How can you say we watched it together?"

Guo Hongtao was very reasonable: "I just came here to find you."

If she goes to them, they have to pay her?

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "You came here on your own. We didn't invite you. You decided to buy the ticket at a high price. What does it have to do with us?"

This was a direct rejection, and Guo Hongtao's face instantly turned cold: "Xiaomin, why are you like this? You are new here, and no matter what, I am also your senior."

Zhu Xiaomin replied in a serious tone: "Let's put things in perspective. At work, you are indeed my senior, and I respect you. But in life, we don't owe each other anything, and there is no reason for you to force us to treat you, right?"

Guo Hongtao snorted coldly: "Do you think you have a backer just because you are sent by the Administration? In fact, when you come to our unit, it is up to us to decide which department to transfer to and which county to go to."

Zhu Xiaomin said calmly: "It's all work, I don't care."

He Lanfang was a little worried and tugged at her clothes.

Zhu Xiaomin simply held her hand back without showing any sign of weakness.

The three of them parted unhappily. It was not until they returned to the dormitory that He Lanfang said worriedly, "Xiaomin, that Guo Hongtao has been there for many years. I heard that she is very good at getting in touch with the upper echelons. What happened today... will she report it to you?"

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it and smiled: "Don't worry, if she dares to tell on me, I will go to you and cry. I am the person that the administrative office wants to send here."

He Lanfang: “…”

Only ghosts believe you!

Putting aside this topic, He Lanfang said, "The autumn harvest is over. I guess you will have to go to the countryside again after National Day. Fortunately, you are in the administrative department, so you won't be assigned."

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and whispered: "Actually, I want to go back and take a look."

Although she knew the abilities of Xie Chengzhi, Chen Xudong and others, and knew that they could do things well, the canning workshop had just started, and she always felt uneasy until she saw the results with her own eyes.

As He Lanfang expected, the bureau assigned her a task the next day. She had to go to the countryside after the holiday, from October to November. Each person had to work for at least two weeks. They had to propose a plan before going to the countryside, and also have a development plan after going to the countryside.

At this moment, people from the two business departments were all wailing. Everyone was already familiar with Zhu Xiaomin, and many of them came to learn from her what exactly could be done to promote the development of the countryside.

Zhu Xiaomin was also thinking about this, and during a private discussion, she expressed her own viewpoint: "I think that to revitalize the rural economy, it is not enough to just work hard and grow crops."

"Do we all need to develop the tertiary industry? But many villages do not have the conditions for this." Xu Xilin from Section 2 asked first.

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "Not really. No matter what, food is still the basis of rural areas. I am talking about seeds. Good seeds can allow farmers to work the same hard and get more harvests."

"Are the two experts who came to you last time the ones who do this?" Zhang Yujie from Department 3 responded quickly.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at him and said, "One of them is researching improved seeds. If you need me, I can help contact them. But the most important thing is to convince the farmers and encourage them to try."

When they heard about the work of a farmer, several people started to feel headache again.

Yang Yiliang from the Second Section smiled bitterly: "Not to mention the farmers, even many brigade cadres are just trying to stick to the old ways, not seeking to make achievements, but to avoid mistakes. This is not an easy job."

"We'll take the places where it makes sense, do pilot projects where it makes sense, and increase publicity from the beginning," said Zhu Xiaomin.

"Xiao Min, what about you guys? How do you do your job?" Xu Xilin asked directly for advice.

Planting fruit trees is one thing, but setting up a breeding base is a major transformation.
