Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 851: Chapter 851: Zhao Family

T oday, Zhao Qingxiang had arranged all the venues needed. Now just waiting for the autumn harvest.

Li Hongxiang also learned about Su Yuanyuan’s current situation. It was clear she wasn’t an ordinary person.

It’s been years without contact. How’s that girl doing now? Why hasn’t she replied?

The autumn harvest is about to begin. I’m not sure if she still lives at the current address. Zhao Yanli must have contact with her. Better ask for the current address.

That girl wouldn’t not reply if she received the letter. She probably didn’t receive it.

For her to achieve such success, it’s quite normal.

Xu Hongbing arrived in the city and directly found the person who helped with contacts, whom can now be called foreman.

After directly arranging for sixty people, he drove back. The weather at night is suitable for traveling.

The sixty people here also headed to the farm the next day. For years, they had been going there for work, earning both food and wages. Who wouldn’t want that?

Even if it is tiring, it’s fine as long as the family can be fed. A little exhaustion is not a big deal.

All families hiring people from the Second Farm know this, it’s a tacitly understood matter. Nowadays, almost every household employs a few people.

When calculating the accounts, hiring people during the harvest doesn’t decrease income, instead, it increases it.

During spring planting, hiring workers allows for more planting, which results in a higher yield. Naturally, the income increases too.

Xu Hongbing returned earlier than the workers and notified several families after arriving home.

They all went to the wheat field, and it seemed it wouldn’t be problematic to start cutting wheat a few days early.

As usual, families are the first to begin the autumn harvest. After they’re done, these sixty people can work part-time on the Second Farm for ten days to half a month. That’s why they are willing to come.

In the Capital, Su Yuanyuan’s daily routine was monotonous work.

The work is indeed complicated. On this day, she met with the most friendly neighboring country.

Su Yuanyuan has a fondness for this country, thus she was more polite in her speech. Xie Fenglan found it amusing, Minister Su certainly has personality. During training, they were instructed to set aside personal feelings.

But this leader doesn’t play by the book, the ambassador she disliked was almost thrown out by her. In contrast, to the one she liked, it was like night and day.

Today, Lu Chengmin was also in the meeting room, but the meeting was chaired by Su Yuanyuan.

Regarding the military aid request from the other side, Su Yuanyuan agreed. However, it needed to be discussed in a meeting, so she told them to come back for the result tomorrow.

After lunch, the meeting continued here.

The meeting was still chaired by Su Yuanyuan. ”I agree with the military aid.”

Xu Guozhi agreed too, and of course, Lu Chengmin did as well. The three generals present today had no objections whatsoever.

They had already heard about the newly appointed Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Su Yuanyuan, but this was their first time meeting her in a meeting.

A young and beautiful girl, unexpectedly articulate and insightful, they couldn’t help but admire Xu Guozhi’s judgment.

”Xiao Su, what about economic aid?”

”I think we should provide even more. Since the two countries established diplomatic relations for so many years, although we’re not experiencing the best times now, helping them is not an issue.”

Su Yuanyuan handed out the economic report she prepared to those present.

After a glance, it was really very clear and understandable, mostly represented in numbers, making it easily comprehensible even for the generals with lower educational levels.

”Agreed.”

”Xiao Su is really impressive.”

”Thank you, General, for the recognition.”

Unassuming and composed, works with rationale and evidence, and it’s said she is very strategic, tougher than a man in foreign relations.

Everyone present today had been on the battlefield, and they collectively respected her.

What’s left is not her responsibility, the military affairs are merely for her to listen in on.

The next day, the ambassador of Country B came and received the confirmation that the military aid would depart immediately.

Before this ambassador left, the ambassador who nearly got expelled also came.

This uninvited arrival left Su Yuanyuan very displeased.

”Tell them there’s no time today, and also inform them to learn the rules. Forgiven this time, but not next time if they don’t book in advance.”

The ambassador from Country B was surprised at this Vice Minister’s assertiveness.

Xie Fenglan didn’t hold back and relayed it to the ambassador verbatim.

Su Yuanyuan couldn’t care less, she’s just that kind of person. She dislikes someone for no reason, and you’ll know it.

There’s always an endless stream of documents to read. Still, everyone in the Foreign Liaison Department knows she’s the only one unwilling to work overtime.

”Xiao Su, don’t you have too few secretaries?” asked Lu Chengmin, eating lunch.

”I haven’t decided yet. But I could select two second secretaries and three third secretaries, giving it time to adapt.”

”Xiao Su, it’s indeed not safe for you to go home every day. It’s better to stay at the provided accommodation.”

Su Yuanyuan was reluctant, but she knew she couldn’t be capricious now. In the past, it didn’t matter as she was an ordinary person, but now it’s different.

”Fine, but I prefer quietness.”

”You can choose yourself, and no one will disturb you.

Besides, how can a young girl like you be so reclusive, like someone in their seventies or eighties?”

”Leader, I just like peace and quiet.”

After lunch, Su Yuanyuan went directly to find Qin Zhiyuan,

”Arrange a few people for me, I need two second secretaries and three third secretaries. Find suitable ones.”

”Are you still insisting on female secretaries?”

”This time, no restrictions, as long as the first secretary is female.”

”I can discuss with the leadership, though I think they have plans.”

Su Yuanyuan had no objections; Zeng Zhenqing and company know everyone’s situation better, she would just choose once more.

After work, Su Yuanyuan went to choose accommodations, picking a smaller dwelling with no neighbors on either side.

”Leader, I’ll send someone to tidy it up tomorrow.”

As the secretary, of course, Xie Fenglan knew the leader had a cleanliness obsession

After work, Su Yuanyuan cycled to Zeng Hongling’s house.

The people assigned from their hometown had arrived, so Yang Liulang could go out to work now.

”Yuanyuan, are you staying for dinner tonight?”

”No, you know I don’t like the taste from your side. By the way, I came today to tell you I’m moving.”

”Moving? It’ll be hard to find you later,” Zeng Hongling said helplessly.
