Assistant Han took Luo Yuanliang back to the ranch.Luo Yuanliang was very silent along the way. Although he was willing to work and learn, he was only a teenager, and after all he was not that thorough in his thinking. He was also very hesitant about how to face this matter.In Cheng Zhong's view, his behavior was tantamount to reporting them to the Zhang family, so it's no wonder Cheng Zhong didn't get mad.

Luo Yuanliang frowned.So, he doesn't like to communicate with people, and he doesn't like to owe favors to others.

In the pasture, Cheng Zhong wandered around the shed early in the morning and found that every animal was covered with the imprint of the epidemic prevention station, and he secretly blamed Luo Yuanliang for making trouble out of nothing and gossip.He walked around the shed, only to realize that Luo Yuanliang was nowhere to be seen today.Where did that brat go?A doubt flashed in Cheng Zhong's mind, but he quickly put it behind him.Luo Yuanliang always had his own ideas, and sometimes he disappeared for a long time after entering the mountain, and it was useless to look for him.

Cheng Zhong walked around the ranch, and the workers greeted him warmly.Cheng Zhong felt that the workers were good everywhere, and Luo Yuanliang didn't know what was going on, and always came to him to talk about things that didn't matter.Obviously the vaccines are all finished, but the brat said he didn't get vaccinated... Just as he was thinking, Cheng Zhong had already returned to the door of his house.The house he lives in is also similar to Luo Yuanliang's, both of which are bungalows built in a unified way.He has been on the ranch for so many years, and he has never been greedy for a penny, and he has never even taken a sip of the milk produced by the ranch.He should be doing pretty well, right?Cheng Zhong thought hesitantly.

Ever since Mr. Xie passed away, Cheng Zhong has been worried about the ownership of the ranch.If the ranch belongs to those from Xie's family, they will definitely drive it away.It turned out that the new owner of the ranch was Yuan Ning, and Cheng Zhong didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or be more worried, anyway, his mood was very complicated.He was naturally not worried about Yuan Ning, Cheng Zhong thought he was good to Yuan Ning, and last time the people from Yuan Ning's school came to the autumn tour, he also wholeheartedly entertained them.But what about the family behind Yuan Ning?Cheng Zhong had no idea what kind of family the Zhang family was.He has met Mr. Zhang from the Zhang family twice, and knows that Mr. Zhang is definitely not easy to get along with.

If the Zhang family wants to send someone to take over the ranch, what should the workers on the ranch do?Will they be driven away?No matter how Cheng Zhong thought about it, he felt uneasy.

The sky was gray and windy, and it looked like it was going to rain.Cheng Zhong reheated some porridge indiscriminately, added some sweet potatoes to cook it, and finished it with a gurgling gulp, counting it as lunch.He walked out the door and put away the clothes hanging on the clothesline.At this time, he saw two figures coming from the other side of the river, crossing the bridge.The hens grazing by the bridge sensed the arrival of the stranger, cooed and ran away with two thin legs.

Cheng Zhong put the clothes back into the room, turned around and walked out.The two figures had already walked to his door, one was Luo Yuanliang whom he was familiar with, and the other was wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and carrying a briefcase. At first glance, they looked different from them.Cheng Zhong looked at the gloomy sky, and his heart was also covered with clouds.He stepped forward and said, "Luo Yuanliang, is this...?"

Assistant Han said: "I am Mr. Zhang's assistant, surnamed Han." He unzipped the side of the briefcase, took out a business card, and handed it to Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong took the business card and felt that the business card was as white as snow, and his own fingers would leave black fingerprints on it.He didn't like this feeling, and he didn't like to face Assistant Han.The world he lives in is completely different from the world these people live in. Sometimes he can't understand what they do and what they say - just like he can never understand why Yuan Ning can do it for a few dying trees. Hua made a special trip to the ranch, and visited them every time he came to the ranch.This "incomprehensibility" made him extremely anxious.

Or should I say, his generation is always anxious.Some people are born outstanding, whether they have a good family or ability, they are better than others in everything, and they are different from them; It's the same; some people have caught up with good opportunities and made a fortune, and they are different from them... But they feel as if they have been abandoned by the times.Years have taken away their youth, youth and prime of life, making their faces gradually become vicissitudes, but they have not given them extraordinary talents and a peaceful mind.

Time keeps going, and so do the times, but they can't move anymore, what should we do?

Cheng Zhong looked at Assistant Han, then at Luo Yuanliang, and asked, "Assistant Han, are you here for something?"

Luo Yuanliang was taken aback.The tone didn't sound like Cheng Zhong's.He thought Cheng Zhong would be furious and furious, but he didn't expect Cheng Zhong to speak in such a tone—a hoarse, almost humble tone.He looked at Cheng Zhong, and found that Cheng Zhong had silver hair on his sideburns, and his back was slightly hunched. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man over half a century old, without the slightest bit of vigor, nor the slightest bit of violence when he was young.Seeing Cheng Zhong like this, the vague sympathy in Luo Yuanliang's heart came out again.

Assistant Han didn't think there was anything wrong, he had seen such an attitude too many times, and he was no stranger to it.He felt that there were peeping eyes from all around him, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Speak in the room."

The three of them sat down in the house.Assistant Han asked Luo Yuanliang to tell Mr. Zhang's decision, while he scanned Cheng Zhong's room.Judging from the old furnishings in this room, Cheng Zhong is indeed not a person who is greedy for comfort and enjoyment, but based on what he has learned, Assistant Han believes that Mr. Zhang's decision is right, and Cheng Zhong is not suitable for continuing to manage the ranch .

This is like some stubborn and inflexible "upright officials" in ancient times who accepted their own "faith" and were willing to stay poor, and even their family members suffered with him.However, the kind of suffering he endured didn't make much sense. The place he managed was still a mess, and the people under him still suffered along with him.

Character is very important, but it doesn't mean that with character you can get the green light all the way.In the past, Mr. Xie had no mood or energy to take care of it, but now it is different. Although Yuan Ning is still young, the Zhang family never treats children as children.Mr. Zhang will never let go of an opportunity to exercise his children—this ranch will definitely be a place for Yuan Ning to practice.

Mr. Zhang's meaning is already very clear: before that, he must remove too difficult obstacles for Yuan Ning, and reduce the difficulty of managing the ranch to a level that Yuan Ning can handle.

To do this, the people who manage the ranch have to be replaced.After Luo Yuanliang finished speaking, Assistant Han said, "Mr. Cheng, what do you think?"

Cheng Zhong still wanted to fight for the workers: "I don't think they would do that kind of thing. After all, if they really don't vaccinate, it will not only affect the pastures. If we don't know that the cattle and sheep are sick, we will take the milk and the like as usual. If people eat and drink it, there will be accidents."

Luo Yuanliang didn't speak.

Assistant Han didn't speak either.

Cheng Zhong lost his confidence: "Those questions are too complicated and too difficult, who can answer them?"

"Can't you?" Assistant Han asked.

"I can." Cheng Zhong still understands the basic situation of the ranch, "but they——they are different."

"He can do it too." Assistant Han pointed to Luo Yuanliang.

Cheng Zhong was silent.

Assistant Han took out a document and handed it to Cheng Zhong.

Cheng Zhong's hands trembled. He took the document and read it carefully. His hands trembled even more.His tone was very fierce: "I have never been greedy for a penny of the ranch!" Assistant Han showed him the horizontal comparison and estimation of economic benefits of ranches of the same size.The income of this ranch was marked by Assistant Han with a red pen, which was extremely clear and glaring.

"But the workers on the ranch took most of the profits from the ranch." Assistant Han said firmly, "And you don't know anything about it, and you always think that the current economic benefits are normal. You are a person who values ​​affection and love. Chongyi, always grateful to Mr. Xie, and always have goodwill to help the villagers, but Mr. Zhang said, 'Don't talk about human relationships at work, and talk about it after the work is done'. No matter what Whoever it is, replace it if it doesn’t suit you.”

Cheng Zhong seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden.He understood what Assistant Han meant.If the workers are leaving, so is he.He knew that the hands and feet of the workers were a bit dirty, but he always felt that they were just stealing and should not go too far.He reported this to Mr. Xie, and Mr. Xie also said to let them go, so he naturally let them go. Unexpectedly, the courage of the workers grew day by day, to the point where they dared to take away most of the ranch's profits!Did he do something wrong?Is he really not suitable for managing the ranch?

Cheng Zhong stood up, his back slightly bent.He sighed and said, "I'll go find them."

When the workers heard that they were going to gather, they looked at each other, dragged their way to Cheng Zhong's gate, and stood in a row in a row, whispering to each other, discussing what would happen.Assistant Han came out of Cheng Zhong's room.

The workers fell silent for a moment.

Assistant Han said: "I will ask you some questions, and you are not allowed to whisper after listening. If you think you know more than [-]% of the answers, you can go into the house and tell Luo Yuanliang the answers. If you can't answer, then you in the ranch That's the end of the job."

The crowd was in an uproar, and suddenly broke out: "We have worked in the ranch for so many years, why let us go?" "Yes, the ranch is taken care of by us, let us go if you say let us go, why! "I still have to answer the question, who knows what the question is! What if no one can answer it?"

Assistant Han glanced quietly for a week, until everyone was silent and did not dare to speak, then he said coldly: "You can also leave without accepting the choice I gave you."

No one spoke.In fact, they also knew that the ranch had changed hands, and there was a possibility of a cleansing, but Cheng Zhong's answer made them relax, thinking that the new owner of the ranch would be more fooled than Mr. Xie.Thinking of this, they couldn't help but look at Cheng Zhong with reproachful eyes.As for the couple who were discussing with their brother-in-law about getting the money for the vaccine, they looked at each other nervously several times, for fear that the matter about the vaccine would be revealed!They also looked at Cheng Zhong, blaming the old Cheng for talking nonsense!Look at the situation, the new owner of the ranch is obviously not easy to fool!

Cheng Zhong noticed the accusing eyes of everyone and almost fainted from anger.At first, he still couldn't bear it, but now he felt that there was nothing to bear.If these people can't answer anything, it means that they don't care about the ranch at all, and only think about how to make money for themselves!

Assistant Han began to report the topic.

The "assessment" ended quickly, and almost no workers could answer the questions, and those who were barely able to answer the questions could only answer [-] to [-] percent of them.The couple who hadn't given the vaccine answered [-]% to [-]% of the answers, but after they finished their answers, the people from the epidemic prevention station came over and brought the couple's brother-in-law with them.The person in charge of the epidemic prevention station gave the couple's brother-in-law a hard look, and apologized to Assistant Han with a shy face: "I'm sorry, Assistant Han, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that I would have such a Such a daring guy, how dare he put his mind on Mr. Zhang's ranch!"

Assistant Han corrected: "It's not Mr. Zhang's ranch."

"Understood." The person in charge of the epidemic prevention station quickly changed his words, "It's Mr. Zhang's ranch." He looked at the couple's brother-in-law viciously, and asked him to take two steps forward to confess the facts.After that guy finished speaking, he said earnestly, "Don't worry Assistant Han, I will send people back to do epidemic prevention work on the ranch, and I will recover all the money he corrupted."

"His job." Assistant Han said lightly.

"It can't be done anymore!" the person in charge of the epidemic prevention station gritted his teeth.Originally, he took advantage of this bastard and wanted to protect him, but now that Assistant Han specifically mentioned this point, how could he dare to protect him?He wished he could throw back the money this guy gave him on the spot, so as to make the relationship clearer.

The couple's brother-in-law slumped his shoulders.

Seeing this scene, the workers of the ranch didn’t dare to protest that the topic was too difficult. They changed their words one after another: “Let’s go, let’s not stay here anymore, it’s boring!” They dispersed as they talked, and hurried home Pack your things and leave.

Just kidding!Look at the attitude of the person in charge of the epidemic prevention station towards the man in suit and glasses?What if this person asks them to spit out all the greedy things left behind?They have also used the benefits from the ranch to help their family members find jobs. What if this person also takes away their family members' jobs? !

The workers walked faster and faster one by one.

Assistant Han was not surprised by this result.In fact, he didn't intend to keep them, so he deliberately told the epidemic prevention station that they should come here at this time.

There are not many things in the countryside, and nothing is cheap, but the wages are cheap. The condition of the ranch is good, and the salary is higher, so you don't have to worry about not being able to recruit suitable workers.It's still the same sentence, those who don't know how to do it can still learn, and what do they do if they don't want to do it?

Assistant Han drew up a recruiting charter for Luo Yuanliang, and asked Luo Yuanliang to go to a nearby village to recruit some workers in the next few days, and he would find professional experts to come over and train the new workers.After the recruitment was finalized, Assistant Han asked Luo Yuanliang to go to work first, and turned to look at Cheng Zhong, who was sitting there with a gray face and slumped.He said, "Mr. Cheng, there is actually one thing that needs you to do."

Cheng Zhong thought he had heard wrong.He thought he had to pack up and leave too!

Assistant Han said: "It's like this. Mr. Zhang intends to help Mr. Xiaozhang buy the nearby forest. At that time, the forest will be fully developed-not a destructive development, but a step-by-step development with regulations. Mr. Zhang decided to reach an agreement with the military to hire some veterans to be responsible for the development and maintenance of the forest. You are familiar with this matter, and it is most suitable for you to be in charge. Don’t worry, experts will also train you on this aspect. Once the person is in place, the experts will come again - until everyone is taught!"

Cheng Zhong was really stunned.

Soon, with tears in his eyes, he stood up and said solemnly: "Thank you Mr. Zhang for still trusting me! I will definitely do this well!"

It turns out that not everyone has forgotten people like them.

It's just that sometimes they even forget their own hearts.
