During this period of time, after Wu Jin took office, he made drastic adjustments to the original work review and various regulations. At the same time, he also examined the industries that Yu Bing had proposed.

Wu Jin’s decisiveness and efficiency had brought a new atmosphere to the village. The villagers were no longer as lazy and undisciplined as before. They no longer dared to slack off like before.

October quickly ushered in the autumn harvest. Although the autumn harvest was easier to deal with than the summer harvest, it was still very tiring.

Before the autumn harvest, Wu Jin wanted to plan for after the reclamation, so he looked for Yu Bing once after work.

At this moment, Yu Bing was opening up land on the hill. After the autumn harvest started tomorrow, she would be going to the fields as well. She looked at the hill that only had a third of the barren land opened up and was a little anxious.

“Yu Bing! Stop first. I have something to discuss with you,” Wu Jin shouted at Yu Bing not far away.

Yu Bing heard Wu Jin’s voice through the rumbling of the tractor and quickly stopped the car. “Mr. Wu, what’s the matter?”

Wu Jin strode forward. “That plan you suggested is feasible because you were the one who suggested it. I want you to be part of it, in the name of the intellectual team’s captain.”

Yu Bing froze for a moment. She frowned and asked, “Intellectual team’s captain?”

Wu Jin told her the plan he had already thought of. “That’s right. There are a total of 68 intellectual youths who came to the He Mountain Brigade to build the countryside. There are 30 girls and 38 boys. The current management method is to choose a team leader for each side. Now, I want you to integrate all the intellectual youths into a single team to manage.”

“After that, there will be a lot of external contact and management. These knowledgeable youths are more cultured than many people in the village. Their connections and knowledge can help the village stabilize the factory. Now, these knowledgeable youths are like loose sand. I hope you can gather them and help me complete this job.”

In fact, Yu Bing had expected Wu Jin to let her participate in this plan, but she had thought that it would be in the form of a consultant at most. She didn’t expect him to let her manage the entire group of intellectual youths and enter directly in the name of management.

However, this was a lucky break. Back then, she had fought for the tow truck driver position because she was weak and couldn’t do heavy farm work over the long term. Now that she had a better place to go and could exert more value, Yu Bing had even less reason to refuse.

She agreed readily. “No problem. I’ll go wherever I’m needed.”

Wu Jin revealed a faint smile. “Alright, I’ll apply for an additional position from the commune in the next few days. We’ll start harvesting soon. We’ll make a detailed plan after we’re done with this integration ecological project!”

The two sides agreed happily, and the entire village entered a busy autumn harvest.

This time, with the tractor, the farm work was finished much faster. In less than half a month, the autumn harvest work came to an end.

At this moment, Yu Bing’s letter had been deliberately left in the office for a few days. When Yu Yan went to retrieve her letter again, she couldn’t help but steal it and bring it back to the dormitory.

Ever since Wu Jin took office, Yu Yan could no longer use benefits to bribe people to help her work, so she obediently worked with everyone every day.

Yu Yan stuffed the letter into the waistband of her pants and returned to the dormitory to get a small knife. While everyone was resting in the afternoon, she ran to an empty place and carefully opened the letter.

In order to prevent Yu Bing and Yu Yan from acknowledging each other and letting Yu Yan compete with her for the family’s resources, Yu Pan exaggerated Mrs. Yu’s words.

In the letter, Yu Pan told Yu Bing not to acknowledge random people as family. She couldn’t acknowledge a daughter that had already been given away. Yu Pan also repeatedly instructed Yu Bing to take care of her body and not interfere in Yu Yan’s business!

Yu Pan specifically gave such instructions not because she felt sorry for her younger sister, but because she was worried that Yu Bing would really help their second sister and when Yu Bing got exhausted, she would ask her family to send money and other things. This was a serious matter that affected her interests!

At the end of the letter, she even specifically said that if Yu Yan recognized her, she should deny it. After all, they didn’t grow up together. One couldn’t judge a book by its cover. She reminded Yu Bing not to be deceived.

After Yu Yan read the letter, her eyes turned red and tears rolled down her cheeks. The hand holding the letter kept trembling.
