Yun Zhaozhao dared not tell Huang Xi that she was swindling her boss's only son, so she immediately laughed it off, saying, "It's nothing, just kidding. Come, come, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine."

After lunch, Huang Xi and Lin Qi rested for a while, and then Yun Zhaozhao and Tang Li drove them to the farm for a field visit.
Wen Xu was probably bored at Clear Breeze Temple, so he drove his supercar and followed behind them.
Yun Zhaozhao doesn't know much about cars, so she didn't react much when she saw Wen Xu's car following behind. Tang Li, however, couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He really is a rich kid; he treats a supercar like a luxury car. How can he drive such a low-chassis sports car like that on these rural mountain roads? It's a real waste!
The group first went to the rice paddies at the farm to pick up Grandpa Lin, and then went together to the breeding base to see the chickens, ducks and geese that Grandpa Lin raised.
It has to be said that Yun Zhaozhao has only been away for about half a year, but Grandpa Lin's place has completely changed. Before, Grandpa Lin only built a shed halfway up the mountain to raise chickens, but now it can be said that the entire mountain is Grandpa Lin's chicken farm.
Grandpa Lin explained his breeding method to Huang Xi and Lin Qi. Simply put, he let the chickens roam freely in the mountains and forests during the day, allowing them to catch insects, run around, and fully express their nature. Then, at night, he would return them to the chicken coop and feed them various grains that he had grown himself.
These chickens eat nature's bounty during the day and pure, healthy food at night. Even their water comes from mountain springs, eliminating any safety risks at the source. This chicken meat is perfect for both fresh stewing and various pickling methods. Therefore, after seeing this, Huang Xi and Lin Qi had no more worries and were just waiting to discuss the details of the cooperation with Yun Zhaozhao before signing the contract.
Huang Xi and her team came here this time not only to discuss cooperation with Yun Zhaozhao and her team, but also to discuss the issue of opening a factory in City A.
Of course, President Wen's decision to return to City A to open a factory wasn't entirely due to the cooperation with Yun Zhaozhao. That was merely an opportunity to open a branch factory. The real reason was that President Wen himself came from the mountains, and now that he had achieved success, he wanted to return and give back to his hometown. Furthermore, this cooperation with Yun Zhaozhao involved all aspects of live poultry transportation, processing, and production. If they could open their Wen-style food processing plant directly in City A, it would undoubtedly save a lot of processes and costs.
So Huang Xi briefly mentioned this to Yun Zhaozhao.
Yun Zhaozhao didn't know much about opening a factory, but if she were to recommend a suitable location, she would definitely suggest the vicinity of Clear Breeze Temple, either in this village or near the guesthouse she planned to open. After all, rent would be cheaper, and since she wanted to save on logistics costs, the closer it was to her breeding base, the better!
Huang Xi's focus inexplicably veered off course. "... You also run a bed and breakfast?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "We're planning to open, but it's not open yet. Like your factory, it's still in the preparation stage."
Huang Xi said earnestly, "That's quite impressive. You're not that old, yet you've achieved such success in your career. Truly, heroes emerge from among the young."
Yun Zhaozhao: "You flatter me."
Wen Xu, who had been listening for a while, waited until Huang Xi left before leaning over and whispering a complaint, "I thought your Clear Breeze Temple was poor, which is why I was willing to give you 10,000 to buy a bowl of fried rice from your Clear Breeze Temple. Turns out you're richer than me!"
Yun Zhaozhao said sincerely, "No way, I'm really poor. Once I open the guesthouse, I'll be broke. So if your factory really opens in City A, you absolutely have to bring your rich kids over to eat fried rice with egg!"
Wen Xu: "..."
Chapter 94
Huang Xi and Lin Qi had booked a hotel in the city, so after visiting Yun Zhaozhao's agricultural base, Yun Zhaozhao had Tang Li drive them to the hotel in the city.
As for Wen Xu, he actually followed Yun Zhaozhao back to Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao was utterly baffled by this God of Wealth's motives. "... No, your project team is all here, why aren't you going with them to inspect where the factory will be built? What are you planning to do, staying in our Clear Breeze Temple every day?"
Wen Xu retorted confidently, "*Inspecting factories is a technical task, how could it be my place as Little White? Besides, my dad pays them so much every month, isn't it for them to work? We can't let them take the money for nothing!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."If you insist on saying that, it seems to make some sense.
Wen Xu: "Besides, there's really nothing good to eat or do in your city. I checked it out yesterday afternoon, and it was boring. Clear Breeze Temple is much more interesting!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..." Forget it, I don't understand the taste of you rich kids!
Although Yun Zhaozhao couldn't understand Wen Xu's thought process, there was no reason to keep turning away a God of Wealth who had offered himself up, so in the end, the two of them returned to Clear Breeze Temple together.
It happened to be the weekend, so when the two of them returned to Clear Breeze Temple, ten young Daoist priests were still there, Jingting to the Clear Breeze Temple as they swept the courtyard.
Yesterday, Yun Zhaozhao thought their interest in Wen Xu was probably because Wen Xu was wearing ancient costume, but she didn't expect that even though Wen Xu had changed out of his ancient costume and put on ordinary clothes today, these 10 children were still full of enthusiasm for Brother Wen Xu.
One or two people saw Wen Xu from afar and greeted him with Wen Xu:
"Brother Wen Xu, you're back!"
"Brother Wen Xu, look how clean I've swept the floor!"
"Brother Wen Xu, look at me..."
Yun Zhaozhao asked, puzzled, "What exactly did you do to them? Why do they like you so much?"
Wen Xu: "I don't know, maybe it's because I'm handsome!"
Yun Zhaozhao: "..."
Later, Yun Zhaozhao discovered that this person was not only popular with children, but also with small animals. The stray cats in Clear Breeze Temple, who rarely paid attention to people, would actually come up and rub against Wen Xu's legs when they saw Wen Xu.
Yun Zhaozhao was greatly surprised when she saw it.
While surprised, Yun Zhaozhao couldn't help but think to herself that when her guesthouse opened, she would be missing a friendly receptionist. Currently, the Daoist priest at Clear Breeze Temple didn't seem to have a suitable candidate. If Wen Xu were willing, he would be very suitable for the reception position...
Putting everything else aside, at least in terms of appearance, he's quite presentable.
However, Yun Zhaozhao only thought about it in her heart and didn't dare to bring it up directly with Wen Xu. After all, Wen Ten Thousand wasn't short of money; he was a rich second-generation heir. What qualifications did Yun Zhaozhao have to get him to work as her receptionist?
It's such a pity, such a shame.
Yun Zhaozhao had other things to do that day.
The guesthouse recently hired a courtyard designer to discuss how to design the courtyard for Yun Zhaozhao's guesthouse. Actually, Yun Zhaozhao's initial idea was to have the interior designer handle both the courtyard and architectural designs, since they're both designs, right?
However, the designer in charge of decorating and designing the guesthouse for Yun Zhaozhao was quite particular. He said that interior design is interior design and courtyard design is courtyard design. Although they are both designs, they are completely different things. So Yun Zhaozhao listened to him and made an appointment to meet the courtyard designer at the guesthouse.
Originally, Wen Xu, an outsider, shouldn't have been Wen Xu in this matter, but Tang Li had taken Huang Xi and Lin Qi away, and the other two cars from Clear Breeze Temple were out on business. Yun Zhaozhao had even taken out her ride-hailing app, but thinking that Wen Xu was just sitting around doing nothing anyway, she couldn't let him stay at Clear Breeze Temple for free. So, she very politely but shamelessly asked Young Master Wen to help her get to her guesthouse.
Although Wen Xu had a lot of money, he wasn't stupid. He could tell at a glance that Yun Zhaozhao wanted to use him as a free driver. However, he didn't really have anything to do at Clear Breeze Temple, so he didn't refuse.

When the two arrived at the guesthouse, they were half an hour early for their scheduled meeting with the garden designer.
So Yun Zhaozhao led Wen Xu into the guesthouse for a stroll.
The guesthouse is currently undergoing renovations. The original tiles have been replaced with wooden floors, and the colorful graffiti on the walls has been replaced with white walls. Yun Zhaozhao is thinking that she will replace them with some simple landscape paintings later.
This guesthouse has five floors and an internal elevator. In addition to the elevator, there is also a spiral staircase that leads directly to the rooftop. Currently, the first floor has a lobby, a restaurant, and a lounge area.
Yun Zhaozhao's plan is to set up a bookshelf in the restaurant, turning it into a reading area. As for the relaxation area, she plans to add a bar counter, some rattan chairs, cushions, and comfortable sofas, so guests can relax, have a drink, and chat...
As for the area outside the hall, that's the courtyard where we'll be discussing the design today.
The garden designer arrived right on time that day. As soon as he arrived, Yun Zhaozhao could tell that he was arrogant and had a strong artistic sense, because of his long hair, earrings, and tight-fitting clothes and leather pants.
Yun Zhaozhao rarely dealt with artists, so she hadn't quite figured out his style. But based on Yun Zhaozhao previous experience negotiating collaborations, Yun Zhaozhao figured the first step would be to present her own ideas, and then the designer would point out what was reasonable Yun Zhaozhao what wasn't, explaining how to optimize what was reasonable and how to improve what wasn't...
But before Yun Zhaozhao could express many of her own ideas, the courtyard designer had already started rattling off a list of suggestions: put a water tank here, a pine tree there, and plant rows of roses and other flowering plants here...
Yun Zhaozhao tried to interrupt him, "I'll be keeping a lot of stray cats in this yard. I'm afraid if I plant too many flowers, they'll all end up feeding the cats. Also, I plan to plant two tea trees in this yard so we can pick tea leaves and stuff."
