I run a farm, what the heck is this post-apocalyptic farm owner system?

Chapter 109 Moving to a New House: An Unexpected Event!

Chapter 109 Moving to a New House: An Unexpected Event!

The farm has recently been filled with good news.

Everyone moved into the new dormitory, and their living conditions improved dramatically.

It used to be an old, dilapidated red brick bungalow, which was a bit drafty. In the summer, because there was no air conditioning, the door was always open, with a mesh curtain hanging for ventilation.

Some grasshoppers and crickets would crawl in from under the curtain.

At night, crickets will still chirp under the bed.

The new dormitory is now spacious and bright, equipped with air conditioning, and is very comfortable to live in.

Moreover, the kitchen and canteen have been replaced with new ones. They are clean and tidy, and the tables and chairs have been replaced with heavy wooden ones that are very sturdy.

Even when entertaining leaders, it doesn't seem shabby.

Xu Ran's courtyard is next door, in a separate area.

Entering from the farm gate, a road leads down to the office area and staff dormitory on one side, and Xu Ran's courtyard on the other.

Xu Ran also moved to the new house, and brought her cats and dogs with her.

The new yard is very beautiful, with a classic farmhouse design and all the necessary furniture.

The old houses have all been demolished.

It has been transformed into a cement road with green belts and ornamental trees on both sides.

The farms of today are completely different from what they used to be.

From the outside, there is a large iron gate with signs next to it that read "You Ran Farm Co., Ltd." and "Wildlife Conservation Unit".

Entering through the main gate, there is a beautiful road leading directly to the farm's office area.

The farm is now a fully functional park.

Occasionally, someone driving along this mountain road will exclaim in surprise, "There's such a beautiful farm here!"

Although the farm is surrounded by walls, you can still see rows of greenhouses.

Moreover, the wheat field and watermelon patch were fenced off, so the view wasn't obstructed and everyone could see them.

In the courtyard, Xu Ran sat on a stool, busy feeding the fish.

The tabby cat was familiarizing itself with its territory. It skillfully jumped onto the wall and then climbed up the yard wall to the roof.

There was a familiar figure on the rooftop—it was the Divine Rooster, Mao Ge.

They both liked to spend time on the roof, and gradually developed a tacit understanding.

One was lying down at one end, and the other was standing at the other end.

Both of them were aloof and didn't like to communicate; they were each busy with their own things.

We will not disturb each other.

The courtyard was very pleasant. Xu Ran sat there, a gentle breeze blowing, bringing a touch of coolness.

With the weather warming up and everything coming back to life, it's the most comfortable time of the year.

After resting for a while, Xu Ran went to the office building to inspect the work.

Every month, Xu Ran would routinely come to the accounting office to check the accounts.

Wu Xuan had been waiting for a long time.

"Ran-ge, this is this month's expense report, and you signed it all."

"These are this month's electricity and water bills."

"This month's income mainly came from eggs, as well as the cost of renting tractors and tractors from others."

"In comparison, this month was all about expenses, with spending around 3 yuan."

Wu Xuan immediately reported to his superior.

Xu Ran nodded.

That's how it is in agriculture; you can only keep investing money until the crops mature.

The same applies to animal husbandry. There's a saying, "Even with a fortune, livestock doesn't count," meaning that raising livestock requires a large initial investment but doesn't guarantee profits.

"Okay, let me check the bill first."

"Recently, the greenhouses have been using more water and electricity, so it's normal for prices to be a bit higher."

Xu Ran began to check the accounts.

As a boss, you can't just sit back and do nothing.

Although he doesn't have to do the physical labor on the farm, he still needs to keep things in line and avoid any loopholes.

So there are some things to deal with every day.

Wu Xuan is very capable. She said that for her, a farm with few employees and low overall expenses is easy to manage.

After checking and finding no problems, Xu Ran went out for a stroll again.

It was afternoon.

A young man from the town's secretariat drove to the farm.

This man is named Liu Hu. He has been in the system for two years. He was originally in a township, but because of his strong abilities, good attitude, and good appearance, he was seconded to the busiest secretarial office.

People who can work in the secretariat are not ordinary people.

Upon seeing Xu Ran, Liu Hu greeted him with exceptional politeness, "Director Xu, hello. I'm from the town's secretariat. I've come here on a business."

"City leaders are coming to our town for research. You know, our town doesn't have any particularly special features."

"The initial plan is to invite city leaders to visit the resort and see its business model."

"Another thing is to invite city leaders to Youran Farm to see how the young entrepreneurs in the town run their businesses."

"Don't worry, the leaders won't eat or rest here. They'll just take a quick tour and leave. We'll arrange the itinerary."

"Would you be able to come along then?"

Liu Hu explained his purpose.

It's not easy for a higher-level leader to come down to us.

For the town, when city leaders come, they definitely want to present the good side of the town.

Xu Ran's farm is thriving now, making this a great opportunity to showcase it.

Xu Ran pondered for a moment.

Given his personality, he definitely wouldn't want to accompany them.

After all, it's better to avoid trouble.

However, the advantage is that it gets featured in the city's news, since it's related to city leaders. The city leaders' schedules are bound to appear in the news, which is a publicity opportunity.

In addition, Xu Ran had a great idea: "Sure, no problem. Let my dad come along. He used to be the farm manager, and he did it for twenty years."

"His accompaniment is more effective."

"Since it's just a visit, I'll find an employee to give a tour later."

"It's not a big problem."

After hearing Xu Ran's words, Liu Hu thought for a moment and then agreed.

Liu Hu was in charge of arranging the leader's itinerary this time, and he had many things to consider.

After communicating with Xu Ran and confirming some details, Liu Hu left in a hurry after they exchanged contact information.

It was evening by then.

When Mr. and Mrs. Xu heard that the farm had moved into a new house, they came here specifically to take a look.

Mr. Xu couldn't help but marvel at how much Xu Ran had transformed the once drafty farm into a park with brick walls and cement roads.

During dinner, Xu Ran specifically asked, "Dad, do you want to accompany the city leaders? I think it should be someone at the vice mayor level."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu immediately replied, "I can't just decide to do it. People of such high rank have to let me accompany them."

Xu's father didn't take it seriously, but Xu Ran smiled and said, "Vice Mayor Wang will probably come to the farm this Friday afternoon. He'll probably stay for half an hour and take a look around. I've already spoken with the people in the secretariat, and you'll accompany him then."

"The deputy mayor will walk in front, and you can just follow beside him."

"I have to drive the wild boars away, lest they run into the boss and cause any more trouble."

Mr. Xu was stunned.

Are you serious?

The older generation's institutional mindset is deeply ingrained; to be precise, it's a "bureaucratic" mindset.

Young people today enter the system for stability, while the older generation dreams of becoming officials.

Even just being able to accompany the leader makes me feel prestigious.

"Of course it's true, how could it be false?"

"When the leaders came to the town to inspect the economic work, they noticed that my agricultural products had changed the most in the past two years, so they wanted to send someone to come and take a look."

"You'll be with me then."

Xu Ran continued.

"Okay, that's great! Will it make the news? Are there any reporters?"

Mr. Xu became increasingly excited.

"Definitely. As long as you stay next to the leader, you'll definitely be on camera."

"I'll see how things go then; if it doesn't work out, I'll go too."

Xu Ran replied.

"No problem, that would be great."

The matter was settled.

As the farm develops and its influence grows, so do the number of problems it encounters.

Xu Ran was used to it.

He felt it was good that the leaders came, as it would help the brand of [You Ran Farm].

It will be easier to sell agricultural products in the future.
