You'll definitely become a big shot

"My speech is finished; thank you, everyone."

Chen Yu bowed to the audience, and County Chief Lan led the applause.

"Well done."

"Mr. Chen gave an excellent speech."

Many fruit growers who were initially surprised when Chen Yu took the stage had their doubts. Was this really the same Mr. Chen who promoted Xinfeng navel oranges? He was in his early twenties—wasn't that too young? Some still had reservations.

However, after listening to Chen Yu's speech, the fruit growers finally understood why he had made so much money. Even if he didn't know anything else, his vision alone surpassed that of many people in the room.

Afterward, Chen Yu didn't say much and left the stage. Under the stage, the fruit growers approached his table and raised their glasses to him. Initially, Chen Yu responded to each one, but as the number grew, he couldn't keep up, so he politely declined.

At 9 PM, the crowd made their way back home. However, County Chief Lan asked Chen Yu to stay behind.

"Chen Yu, the speech you gave tonight was incredible."

"You're right; Xinfeng navel oranges not only need to grow and strengthen but also become exquisite. Chen Yu, do you have any ideas about making them exquisite? I'd like to hear your thoughts."

"County Chief Lan, I've never grown navel oranges, so I don't have any ideas."

"How could I not know you? Don't hold back; tell me."

"Well..."

Chen Yu felt a bit troubled. Although he wasn't well-acquainted with navel oranges, he was still a native of Xinfeng. He had been exposed to a lot of information and heard many things about navel oranges during his previous life.

"County Chief Lan, let me just brainstorm."

After organizing his thoughts, Chen Yu said, "In fact, our Xinfeng navel oranges have a climatic and geographical advantage over other regions. But navel orange cultivation depends not only on nature but also on people."

"How does it depend on people?"

"For example, the navel orange harvest schedule set by the county should be strictly adhered to in the future."

All fruits require a certain time to ripen. Harvesting them prematurely affects their taste and quality.

"The county has been emphasizing this harvest date in recent years and doesn't allow fruit growers to harvest before the designated time."

"County Chief Lan, I believe it's not just about paying attention. If there are rewards, there must be penalties. If fruit growers harvest prematurely, corresponding fines should be imposed. Otherwise, despite the county's emphasis, some fruit growers prioritize short-term gains and pick the fruit prematurely to artificially ripen it. This loss doesn't just affect their families; it impacts the interests of all Xinfeng fruit growers."

"Rewards should come with penalties. That's a good suggestion," County Chief Lan agreed, nodding.

"Furthermore, the county should establish a series of prohibitions, such as prohibiting the waxing of navel oranges and the use of sweeteners. These are necessary measures to ensure the quality of Xinfeng navel oranges."

"Additionally, we need to prepare accordingly when selling navel oranges. This includes establishing navel orange storage facilities, navel orange sorting equipment, and more."

After this lengthy discussion, County Chief Lan finally let Chen Yu return home.

However, compared to the fruit growers who returned home earlier, there was a father-son drama taking place in the Li household.

...

"Dad, you're back."

"Yeah."

"How was the food at Peach River Restaurant?"

"What's it to you? All you care about is eating."

Li Tiancai glared at his son, Li Wenjie, feeling a surge of anger. His son had always been playful and had caused him trouble since he was a child. In the past, Li Tiancai thought his child was still young and let him be. However, after seeing Chen Yu at Peach River Restaurant, Li Tiancai couldn't help but feel somewhat dissatisfied.

"Do you know that Mr. Chen is around your age and has already started several companies?"

"Dad, who is Mr. Chen?"

"Why do you care who he is?"

"But, what does Mr. Chen have to do with me?"

"How is it unrelated? Look at yourself, you're sixteen or seventeen years old, and all you do is play. I bought you a computer, bought you a phone, and always got you the best of everything. But look at others. Just by selling navel oranges this year, they've made a net profit of over ten million yuan. When I compare you to him, you're not even worth a finger."

"Over ten million in net profit? Dad, you're not kidding me."

"Why would I lie to you? You're about the same age. Why is there such a huge difference between you and others?"

Li Wenjie was irritated by his father Li Tiancai's scolding.

Listening to his father, Li Wenjie retorted, "He made over ten million in a year by selling navel oranges. Dad, you've been selling navel oranges for decades and haven't even earned a million. So when you look at it that way, Dad, you're not as good as Mr. Chen you're talking about. It's a bit rich for you to say this to me."

"You're arguing back now, are you?"

"It's true, 'I can't compare to others, but I even dare to compare my son with them'."

"Heh, feeling a bit itchy, huh? Watch me beat some sense into you..."

"Ah, that hurts, Dad! You really pack a punch."

"Come out, and if you don't, I'll continue tomorrow."

As Li Wenjie was dragged into the house by his father, Li Tiancai sighed, "You know, we never truly realize it until we compare ourselves to others. When we do, my son turns out to be a hack."

...

Train station.

Since the last discussion with Wang Chang, she had brought her tech team to Xinfeng. Chen Yu and Zhang Jianming stood at the station exit, waiting for them to arrive.

"Chen Yu, how many people are coming later?"

"Five, no, with Li Nan, it should be six."

"Six new members joining already, I never expected the company to grow so fast."

"Well, we're still doing okay. The Internet changes at lightning speed, and to be honest, we've missed many opportunities. But that's fine; we can still catch up."

"By the way, Chen Yu, how do you plan to arrange things when Wang Chang and the team arrive?"

"What do you think?"

"I think..."

Zhang Jianming paused for a moment and then said, "I think Wang Chang, despite her technical background, surpasses me in terms of both technical knowledge and vision. Plus, she's a graduate of WHU. I believe we can entrust her with the day-to-day management of the company."

"Alright, if you leave company management to Wang Chang, what about you?"

"As for me, I don't have much education, nor technical skills, and my vision isn't that great either. I can do some odd jobs."

"Sounds good. You'll be doing odd jobs at the company from tomorrow."

"Ah, are you serious?"

Zhang Jianming teared up. "Don't make me do odd jobs, please. I'm pretty good at playing games; let me play games instead."

"We're taking a break from power leveling for now, so you'll be doing odd jobs. I think it suits you better."

"Fine, I guess I'll do odd jobs. At least the pay isn't bad."

"Ha, Jian Ge, you're really taking it well."

Chen Yu patted Zhang Jianming's shoulder. "Jian Ge, you actually have a lot of potential; you just don't realize it. I don't want to let such a promising big shot like you do odd jobs."

"Big shot, Chen Yu, don't tease me. I think you're the real big shot."

"I'm not teasing you. Don't worry; you'll definitely become a big shot in the future."

Chen Yu said with absolute certainty.
