At night, Tao YanZhen lay on the bed unable to sleep, listening to her cousin’s steady breathing, knowing that she had fallen asleep.

Her mind was full of Lv Guodong, and she was very puzzled. They had just met and hadn’t even spoken, how did she fall for him?

Could this be the aftermath of love at first sight? She told herself to hold on to her principles. She used to despise those who broke up relationships, especially her aunt’s incident, her family hated such things to the core.

But now that it’s happening to her, Tao YanZhen kept trying to reinforce her beliefs. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

That’s something she couldn’t do, it’s behavior she despises the most.

Lv Guodong is certainly good, but there are countless good things in the world, should we resort to any means to obtain them?

Tao YanZhen was a sensible and intelligent girl, gradually accepting that it wasn’t meant for her, it’s someone else’s reality.

Tears rolled down the corner of her eyes, perhaps this was an end to her first love, or her infatuation.

The tears wouldn’t stop flowing. Actually, Tao YanZhen couldn’t believe it herself, was it just one glance that trapped her?

The next morning after breakfast, Guodong went home to get the car. He drove directly to Li Yungui’s house.

But Li Yunqiang didn’t come over. He went with Xiang Dong to the pesticide factory.

In Li Yunqiang’s mind, this formal job was something he couldn’t miss. So he hurried to start working. Only then it would feel secure.

Though Xiang Dong initially thought to go alone, Li Yunqiang figured that as the village accountant, the director wouldn’t completely disregard him.

From the beginning, a good job could be arranged, and it wouldn’t be bad even if they moved to the city plant in the future.

Zhuang Zhiyun was called over and knew this was Li Yungui’s brother, the village accountant, so he was quite welcoming.

Li Yunqiang shook hands with him. "Accountant Li, right? What brings you here?"

"Director Zhuang, this is my son Li Xiangdong, he’s here to work."

Over thirty people from the village had formally joined, and Zhuang Zhiyun knew the remaining ones wouldn’t be long.

Xiang Dong respectfully greeted Director Zhuang on the side.

"No problem, he looks like a capable young man, what did he do before?"

The father and son were really stumped by the question, Xiang Dong used to follow Wei Kaiyun’s directives. He hadn’t been involved in either aspect.

Xiang Dong quickly came up with, "Director Zhuang, I’ve been to all the pesticide raw material factories before."

Zhuang Zhiyun understood. This was training him in procurement, but since he hadn’t been involved in purchases, it showed a focus on nurturing.

This means this person must have his advantages.

Regarding Wei Kaiyun, he seriously considered that he’s a very capable director, absolutely wouldn’t show favoritism just for a small village accountant.

"Director Zhuang, Guodong has always been working outside, handling external matters."

Zhuang Zhiyun nodded, "I understand, for now work with everyone, and the work will be arranged according to your strengths.

Don’t worry, I will be responsible both to the factory and individuals."

Such official words were spoken, and Li Yunqiang and his son could only accept it for now.

"By the way, are there a few more coming together?" He had a list showing a few people still outside. Since Li Xiangdong came back, had others returned too?

Xiang Dong nodded, five of them in the capital had an agreement, today they came early because Dad needed to go out.

"Alright, Li Xiangdong go call them, only six spots remain, and our village’s quota will be filled."

Xiang Dong nodded, "Director Zhuang, I’ll call them."

Li Yunqiang was also anxious, knowing he had to go to the city today, if he wasn’t trying to find a good job for his son, he’d have left earlier.

"Director Zhuang, I need to go to the city. Hope to see you at our home for lunch sometime."

Zhuang Zhiyun nodded, "Thank you Accountant Li." He thought to himself, is this going to the city to get money?

Li Yunqiang hurriedly left, carrying ledgers and documents with him.

Before he even reached his second brother’s home, he saw the car parked there.

Li Yungui looked at his approaching brother, feeling helpless. But knowing his private intentions are for his family, he didn’t say anything.

Li Yunqiang saw his brother’s face and knew he was upset, but couldn’t feel assured letting Xiang Dong go alone.

So he awkwardly smiled, "Let’s go."

Guodong had no objections, one was his wife’s second uncle and another was her fourth uncle, whom he didn’t want to offend.

Young people driving are quite reckless, so Guodong drove faster than Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang.

Li Yungui was really uncomfortable, "Guodong. Slow down."

"Hehe, I forgot. Still driving like it’s a truck?"

"Guodong, once we’re in the city, should we go to Old Yang’s house?"

"Yeah, the car should be parked at home, every time Uncle Wei and Uncle Yang do it this way.

We should park at home this time too, I’ve got the keys."

"Alright, Guodong, we’ll go find the leaders, you stay at home, and keep the money there.

When we get the money in the city, we’ll come back to you, and then go to the bank to repay the money."

Guodong certainly had no objections, staying at home was fine with him, it had been a long time since he was back. It needed tidying.

"Okay, Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll stay at home."

Li Yungui and his brother trusted Guodong.

The car drove directly into the courtyard. The two brothers left hurriedly, fearing if they were late, people might finish work.

Guodong stayed at home, tidying inside and out.

Li Yungui arrived at the leader’s office just before eleven. Secretary Tian smiled as he looked at the arriving Li Yungui.

"Secretary Tian, does the leader have time now?"

"Yes, the leader just returned from a meeting, perfect timing Village Chief Li."

Li Yungui was relieved that he didn’t come in vain.

Once inside the office, Li Yungui quickly got into the right frame of mind.

"Leader, we have clearly settled the transfer with the new Director Zhuang."

"Good, Old Li, be sure to support Xiao Zhuang’s work."

Li Yungui nodded, "That’s a given. The leader can rest assured.

Leader, this is the inventory between me and Director Zhuang, today I want to collect the material money and then go to the bank to repay the loan."

"I understand. Alright, bring it over, I’ll sign it, and have Secretary Tian go with you to the accounting office."

"Thank you, leader. Also, here are eggs I brought for you."

Seeing the leader about to refuse, Li Yungui immediately spoke, "Leader, these eggs only cost five yuan."

The leader laughed, thinking that Li Yungui is wasted as a village chief, he’s very capable.
