Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 760 envious

"Hurry up, I’m waiting for the data from your village."

"Okay, we’re currently focused on drying the grains, and the village is also selecting peanuts.

Soybeans are ready to be threshed in the next couple of days. We’re taking advantage of the good weather to prepare everything, with corn being the last. Every year, I get anxious about threshing corn."

"It’s the same for everyone. I remember when I was a child, every night we would sit on the kang, the whole family gathered around a wooden basin, threshing corn." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"We did the same thing."

The two arrived in the city at half past nine, wasted no time, and went straight to see the mayor.

"Old Li, about the formula?"

"This is the big formula; I still haven’t gotten the core yet."

Xing Xiangzhang laughed, Li Yungui was quick to catch on.

They met the mayor, and after reviewing the application, the mayor immediately agreed.

"Not bad, a very thoughtful plan. This is a great way to benefit the villagers.

Since your village has already experimented with the results, that’s even better. Work hard, and if you gain everyone’s recognition next year, I’ll commend you."

"Mayor, we’ll head to the bank."

"Wait a moment, the Agricultural Bureau will be here soon to ensure there are no issues with your formula."

Li Yungui was not pleased, but since the leadership spoke, he waited, knowing they were doing it for his benefit.

Before long, a middle-aged man in his fifties entered with a slender man in his thirties wearing glasses.

It turned out they were the director from the Agricultural Bureau and the technician.

The mayor introduced them to each other.

The technician seemed condescending, almost as if he was doing charity, demanding to see the formula.

Li Yungui took it out but didn’t hand it to the technician. "This is confidential, derived from our experiments. I wouldn’t want it leaked."

"What do you mean? Worried I’ll steal your formula?"

"We must think carefully about this." Li Yungui looked at the mayor, waiting for his decision.

"Mr. Li, Technician Liang is trustworthy."

"Fine, I’ll show the pesticide formula to Technician Liang. But for other matters, I can’t make decisions alone; please understand that this belongs to everyone, not just me."

Technician Liang was furious, "You bunch of country bumpkins, what formula could you possibly have? I meant well to advise you, and this is how I’m misunderstood?"

"Thanks, Technician Liang, for your concern." Li Yungui was pragmatic, but he had his bottom line. He could be extremely humble, but he would never cross his bottom line.

Because they were in the mayor’s office, even as Technician Liang was furious, he accepted the paper Li Yungui handed him.

The contempt on his face vanished instantly.

They were all savvy, and quickly realized Technician Liang acknowledged the formula, realizing he couldn’t create such a formula himself.

"Who created this formula?"

Li Yungui took back the formula, folded it neatly, placed it in a kraft paper envelope, and put it in his pocket.

"Technician Liang, that’s something I can’t disclose. But we derived it through experiments."

The mayor frowned, "Technician Liang, how is this formula?"

"I think it’s average." He rambled on about things no one present could understand, yet it was evident his character was questionable.

The expression on your face said it all.

"Alright, if they developed it experimentally, let it be."

"Mayor, I’d like to apply to guide at the pesticide factory."

Li Yungui thought to himself, "Thank you, Technician Liang. Our pesticide factory isn’t complete yet, and we’re located in the countryside, which requires an hour’s walk to the village.

More importantly, we have technicians there, which might be seen as disrespectful to Technician Liang. Nevertheless, we appreciate your intention."

Liang Wenqing was surprised to be rejected by the country folk, but that was the reality.

"Mayor, Director, Technician Liang, please understand. As Technician Liang said, we’re just country folk and don’t understand this. These formulas were generously donated to the collective, so I’ll definitely refuse any assignments."

Technician Liang’s face fell; his face looked particularly sour.

The mayor smiled, "I understand, as long as your pesticide is effective and truly benefits the citizens."

"Indeed, Technician Liang meant well." The Director of the Agricultural Bureau also smiled.

Li Yungui quickly stood up and bowed to Technician Liang, "Thank you, Technician Liang, for your selfless spiritual contribution."

After the two left, Xing Xiangzhang patted Li Yungui on the shoulder. "Nicely done."

"Xing Xiangzhang, do I look like a fool?"

"Haha, not a fool, but definitely honest and sincere."

The two left at half past ten, rushing to the bank.

The mayor’s secretary had already arranged things with the bank’s chairman, so they were promptly attended to.

Chairman Zhou knew it was an important project for the city, so he carefully reviewed the application.

"Comrades, the city has already given us directions, but we still need to inspect."

"You’re welcome to come inspect. Our factory is built, but since it’s just blending, no equipment is involved. We’re borrowing money merely to purchase raw materials."

Li Yungui explained it clearly. As Xiao Wei said, borrowing from the bank is ideal, but if that’s not possible, then from individuals.

Li Yungui was confident, so he wasn’t too nervous.

"Great, we’ll send someone tomorrow."

"We’ll be waiting. If no one is familiar, you can return with us today and stay at my home tonight. We can escort you back to the village’s bus station."

"Sounds good, I’ll arrange for someone to go with you."

It was lunchtime, so Li Yungui and Xing Xiangzhang went to the government cafeteria and arranged to meet the bank staff at the bus stop by the government entrance at one in the afternoon.

"Old Li, you seem less anxious than a few days ago."

"Haha, Xing Xiangzhang, we had a meeting before I came; if push comes to shove, the villagers agreed on raising funds."

"Haha, now there’s a backup plan."

Li Yungui shook his head, "Xing Xiangzhang, you know how little money the villagers have? It’s just a last resort."

"Yes, I understand, but I believe it’ll work out."

After they finished eating, they rested by the security post, knowing disturbing anyone at that time would be inappropriate.

"Old Li, I can handle it myself. You should go see your elder brother." Xing Xiangzhang knew Li Yungui’s elder brother was the deputy mayor.
