Chapter 370: Chapter 357: Emotional Contagion
Like a rubber band that is always stretched to the limit, it won’t take long before it wears out and snaps.
If Miao Hongjin continues in this state, his body might easily give in, or he might face mental issues, or make wrong decisions due to tremendous psychological pressure.
Therefore, Zhuang Qingning chose to present matters in a lighthearted manner and not to demand meticulous details.
Once the workshop gets up and running and all processes go smoothly, they can gradually refine the details to improve the quality.
Just like a painter, if he can’t finish a piece of work because he’s obsessively studying the technique of a single cat, he will never be able to produce a complete painting in the end.
First, smooth running, then refinement. This is the most suitable approach for now.
As expected, upon hearing Zhuang Qingning’s words, the tension on Miao Hongjin’s face eased and he even rubbed his hands somewhat bashfully, “To be honest with Manager Zhuang, I have not been sleeping well these past days, thinking about the workshop all the time.”
“The situation in Miao Village is dire and people can’t afford any mishaps. Although setting up the workshop doesn’t require cash from each household, just sweet potatoes and labor, it’s still a big deal for everyone.”
“If it fails, people might lose their courage and energy, and trying to find a better solution to help everyone make money may seem impossible.”
“That’s my biggest fear.”
Zhuang Qingning listened to Miao Hongjin’s words and pursed her lips.
Indeed, it is not that some people choose to be poor or lack the courage to struggle. Instead, they have often experienced too many hardships that have whittled away all their positivity and ambition.
Without this energy, they lose the courage to fight against fate.
Zhuang Qingning, having experienced many harsh realities of life in her previous life, could empathize with Miao Hongjin’s current feelings.
“In this case, let’s just do our best and leave the rest to fate.”
Zhuang Qingning said, “But there’s no need for excessive worry or tension. Village Chief Miao, if you, as the person in charge, are filled with anxiety, the people under you might also feel that this is a difficult task and become hesitant, which would lead to a lack of unity in the end.”
“To successfully carry out this task, we need to show unreserved courage to move forward. Only then will others feel that there is nothing to fear and they will work hard. Only then can this job be successfully accomplished.”
Hearing Zhuang Qingning’s words, Miao Hongjin was silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.
After a while, his face was full of embarrassment.
Lately, he had been fearful about the workshop failing and not being able to account for it to the village and Master Ding. He had been worried to the point of anxiety.
Even he himself felt something was wrong, but he couldn’t express it, nor did he know what to do.
