Chapter 51: Growing Tensions
Back in her village, Lin Yuer's absence has created a void, and tensions begin to rise among the villagers. Zhao Shen, the businessman who had once tried to compete with her, sees an opportunity to step in and try to take over some of her operations. With Lin Yuer away in the capital, he begins offering even lower prices for goods, tempting some villagers to consider switching allegiances.
When Lin Yuer hears of this, she immediately dispatches her most trusted lieutenants to ensure that her vision remains intact and that her villagers remain loyal. She reminds them of the long-term benefits of quality over cheap alternatives. As her team returns with good news of maintaining stability in the village, Lin Yuer feels a sense of pride in the resilience of her community.
