Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 998: 998 Arrangements

Su Yuanyuan finished listening to the report. "Okay, arrange a financial meeting one hour before the end of the workday."

Qian Zhifeng received the order and went to inform them. At this moment, Chengzi led Shao Hongming in.

He poured tea for the two of them and didn’t leave.

"How is it? Did they agree?"

Shao Hongming shook his head, "I still have to wait until a suitable successor is selected."

"Haven’t you groomed your own subordinates? Honestly, I think you’re doing well. You’re responsible for tasks in the south, and I believe you’re very suitable."

Shao Hongming knew this as well, but he wanted to be closer to Su Yuanyuan, rather than meeting only once or twice a year.

"I think a few of my subordinates are capable. But the leadership disagrees. If it weren’t for your influence, Daqing wouldn’t have taken over so smoothly."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Shao Hongming just smiled and shook his head, feeling his two subordinates were more capable than Daqing. However, Zeng Zhenqing simply didn’t agree to let them take over.

"Shao Hongming, think it through. Actually, over there you have the most real power. When you come here, you’ll realize there are many things you can’t decide.

You’ll find it very challenging to adapt. If I could, I would prefer that kind of life."

Shao Hongming laughed, "Right now, whatever I think doesn’t matter. Leadership told me I have to stay for at least another year."

"Perhaps the leadership has already chosen someone. I’m not clear about this matter."

Shao Hongming knew Su Yuanyuan was very busy, so he didn’t stay long. However, he did not leave the capital.

The next day, Su Yuanyuan issued orders to those in Japan. A week later, news came that many places were already in turmoil.

Inciting unrest wasn’t particularly difficult; Su Yuanyuan ensured there wouldn’t be an opportunity for reconciliation between the two countries in the near future.

Meanwhile, Tan Shaoting arrived in the village, gestured to communicate, and took lodging in a household. The priority now was to learn the local language.

Their learning ability was excellent; they listened to conversations and slowly grasped the language.

Tan Shaoting thought this method was ineffective, considering the candidates his wife recommended, and sought them out at night.

The person he found was Chinese. Tan Shaoting recited their contact code, which excited the person, who thought a mission was at hand, only to find out that they just wanted language lessons.

Within a week, Tan Shaoting and his sons fluently spoke and even read and wrote the local language.

The person was astounded and would not have believed it without having taught them himself.

At night, Tan Shaoting secretly hypnotized him, so he forgot about them.

"Dad, can we act now?"

They had already planned their operation over the past few days.

"Yes, but let’s head to the capital first to gather some things. We can’t come here for nothing."

The three children didn’t know about past events. Tan Shaoting knew, but hadn’t experienced them.

Thus, they were unaware of the area’s history.

To understand a nation’s past, books are the fastest way.

Therefore, the father and sons went straight to a bookstore and bought many books, regardless of their usefulness.

After living in the capital for a week, Tan Shaoting was eager to return, but he couldn’t ignore his wife’s intentions. What’s the rush now?

He was aware of the disruptions his wife caused in the area and thought it was more persuasive to follow her patterns.

Living among the locals, he heard many rumors.

The children also learned this was a place of deep grievances.

Ultimately, the father and sons decided to split up for their operations.

Tan Shaoting was confident in his children but handled tasks with karmic implications himself, fearing negative impacts on them later.

A month after their arrival, the four went their separate ways for their operations.

At the same time, the research institute and radical groups were bombed.

The disruption caused tremors in the small area.

Su Yuanyuan soon received the news. During lunch, her smile was especially bright, leaving Xu Guozhi and the others puzzled.

"Hmph, there’s no such thing as unchecked injustice in the world. If they don’t behave, there will be a next time. I refuse to believe they can’t be disciplined."

"Xiao Su, have you got any information? Which force was it?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "No, not a single piece of information has come out. I guess they don’t even know. It’s stringent over there now. I’ve already instructed our people to stay put safely."

Cultivating such

people is really not easy, and Su Yuanyuan was reluctant to lose them.

That afternoon, she received a call from Wei Guangxiang, who planned to visit her hometown to collect some herbs.

"Okay, next time will you go alone or with a technician?"

"With three technicians."

"Alright, if there are reasonable requests over there, help them out as much as you can."

"I know. By the way, in winter, I plan to go to Jiangbei."

"Sure, directly go to the Second Farm; it can be considered my home now. I’ll give you the address when you leave."

In the office, Qian Zhifeng informed, "Minister, Yang Zhigang came to see Bai Yucheng about arranging a job for his sister, and it’s already been set up over there."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Okay, give Bai Yucheng some rewards for helping with my family’s matters."

"Yes, I know. Also, the village chief’s three sons are now working at the cement factory."

"Good, there’s nothing wrong with that. Having this ability now, it’s good to help and repay favors through this role."

"How is Bai Yucheng doing?"

"He’s older, handles matters very comprehensively."

"Alright, if you think he’s capable, let him take on some financial responsibilities."

Qian Zhifeng nodded, understanding the minister’s intentions. It was both a compliment and compensation for Bai Yucheng.

Su Yuanyuan thought Tan Shaoting and the children should have returned by now. However, she wasn’t certain, given the chaos there, making entry and exit highly scrutinized.

True to her guess, Tan Shaoting indeed had no clear way back.

Of course, sneaking back was possible, but not feasible for this matter. Now, efforts were made to arrange a proper passage for them, as sneaking back wouldn’t be easy to explain.

However, the three children were eager to return, leading Tan Shaoting to find the contact his wife arranged.

"Comrade, there’s really no way out now. Even the ships heading to foreign countries have been suspended."

"What about fishing boats?"

"Fishing boats aren’t banned yet, but they can’t reach."
