Yun Zhaozhao refused very decisively. "He can't handle even a little bit. He's already exhausted from working at the Clear Breeze Temple canteen. Let alone your factory canteen, I wouldn't even dare to ask him to work overtime at my guesthouse canteen."
Wen Xu: "Then there's nothing I can do. If I can't eat, I'll just have to do a live stream every day, eating all the dishes that Daoist Chang Kong makes, like Master Changkong's Chicken Feet, Master Changkong's Chicken Wings, and Master Changkong's Hand-Shredded Chicken Breast... I believe that with my unremitting efforts, the sales of Master Changkong's dishes will definitely reach new heights."
This was the first time Yun Zhaozhao had heard Wen Xu mention his plans to start a live stream. But after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it was actually quite suitable for him. After all, with his looks and eloquence, live streaming might be more appropriate for him than management.
At Wen Xu's insistence, they ended up having dinner at the Clear Breeze Temple canteen that evening.
Since Huang Xi was also there, Yun Zhaozhao simply invited Daoist Chang Kong and Tang Li to accompany her.
During the meal, everyone took the opportunity to discuss and refine the details of developing the co-branded product.
-
Before Wen Xu's factory opened in City A, Grandpa Lin's poultry mainly sold through two channels: one was to supply the canteen inside Clear Breeze Temple; the other was to supply the canteen of the Agricultural College.
Of course, there are also some retail businesses, which add up little by little.
However, now that Wen Xu's company's factory has opened, it has undoubtedly become the largest customer of Clear Breeze Temple Wen Xu Base. It can be said that more than half of the poultry in the agricultural base will be supplied to Wen Xu's factory first.
And this is only under the condition that Wen Xu Xu's factory only has one production line open.
If their factory were to be fully operational, let alone half of it, it would probably be enough to supply all the poultry in the entire agricultural base, even if all of them were handed over to Wen Xu's factory.
So during this meal, Yun Zhaozhao and Wen Xu Xu's group not only talked about the co-branded products, but also about expanding the scale of the agricultural base.
In fact, by now, the scale of Grandpa Lin's agricultural base has expanded several times over.
You should know that Yun Zhaozhao initially only wanted to rent a few hundred acres of land to grow some rice for a rainy day.
After all, people who have experienced hardship and poverty are always worried about running out of food.
As a result, Grandpa Lin gradually decided to raise chickens, and then rented several hundred more acres of land, expanding from just rice and wheat to millet, cotton, corn, and so on. The number of staff at the agricultural base also increased, making it practically a small business.
If the scale of the agricultural base is further expanded and the number of poultry raised is increased several times, this will not only be a challenge for Yun Zhaozhao, but also an even greater challenge for Grandpa Lin.
Although Yun Zhaozhao once said, half-jokingly, that 100 years old is the best age to work, not all jobs are the same. For example, even if Martial Uncle Chuli were to start working again, he would only go to the guesthouse to eat and drink well, and then chat with the Daoist priests and guests who came to stay, or even meditate and chant sutras. But Grandpa Lin's job was truly hard work.
If the scale is expanded further, who can share the burden with Grandpa Lin? Or, what if an even worse situation arises, such as Grandpa Lin saying he can no longer manage it one day? What will Yun Zhaozhao do then, leaving behind such a large operation?
So after much deliberation, Yun Zhaozhao decided to maintain the status quo for the time being. After all, if Wen Xu Xu's company was going to produce goods, they would definitely have other suppliers. Moreover, compared to supplying Wen Xu Xu's factory with large quantities of goods, which would exhaust Grandpa Lin, Yun Zhaozhao felt that it would be more advantageous to let Daoist Chang Kong invest his technology.
Of course, after this incident, Yun Zhaozhao also planned to have a good talk with Grandpa Lin in private, asking him to train two successors at the agricultural base as soon as possible. In short, the team building at the agricultural base needs to be put on the agenda quickly.
When we'd finished discussing business, the conversation finally lightened up, and we started talking about fun places to visit in City A.
Tang Li's familiarity with City A was clearly the greatest among the group, after all, he was a native of City A, so when it came to fun places in City A, he could rattle them off like a pro. " City A has quite a few museums, in addition to that, there's a wildlife park and Happy Water World, both of which are worth visiting."
Wen Xu: "Have you all gone shopping?"
Tang Li: "I've been to all of them, some more than once."
Wen Xu turned to look at Yun Zhaozhao: "And you?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I've never been there."
Wen Xu replied naturally, "How about we go shopping together sometime?"
As soon as Wen Xu finished speaking, the previously lively dinner table suddenly fell silent for a few seconds. Yun Zhaozhao didn't think there was anything wrong with what Wen Xu said at first, but because of the sudden silence, she belatedly realized that Wen Xu's question did indeed seem to have a hint of subtlety and ambiguity!
Could it be that Wen Xu likes her?
It's unlikely. After all, Wen Xu doesn't have masochistic tendencies.
Or maybe you just want to play around with her?
That's not impossible. After all, in Yun Zhaozhao's limited knowledge, many rich kids might not be particularly serious about relationships because of their privileged family backgrounds. Besides, Wen Xu has suddenly arrived in a strange city, and it's possible that he might feel lonely and isolated. When people are lonely, they want to find someone to talk to about their feelings.
Just like when Yun Zhaozhao first entered university, many of her classmates felt lonely because they were suddenly in an unfamiliar environment, so they just randomly picked someone they found attractive to get into a relationship.
If this were back in college, Yun Zhaozhao would definitely have rejected Wen Xu outright. But the Yun Zhaozhao of today is not the same Yun Zhaozhao from college. She is now the Temple Master Yun, so when faced with any situation, her first consideration is not herself, but Clear Breeze Temple.
Putting aside whether Wen Xu actually had those intentions, even if Wen Xu did, what good would it do Clear Breeze Temple to expose him?
It's fair to say there's absolutely no benefit to it. After all, Wen Xu is currently Clear Breeze Temple's biggest client, and all Yun Zhaozhao needs to do is maintain a stable and long-term cooperative relationship with Wen Xu. As for what Wen Xu is really thinking, as long as Wen Xu doesn't say it outright, it's none of Yun Zhaozhao's business.
Having figured this out, Yun Zhaozhao calmly said, "We'll see then. Clear Breeze Temple is usually quite busy, so we might not have time. Besides, not only have I never been there, but Daoist Chang Kong and Jingting probably haven't been either. Maybe we can hold our next team building activity in places like City A, so we don't have to travel to other places."
Wen Xu: "Then let's go together sometime, it'll be more fun with more people."
Yun Zhaozhao reiterated her previous statement. "We'll see when the time comes."
-
After that day, Wen Xu returned to the factory and got busy.
Yun Zhaozhao also began discussing with Grandpa Lin the matter of training a successor for the farm. This matter sounds simple, but it is actually not easy to do.
First of all, there aren't many trustworthy people in Grandpa Lin's group of elderly people. Even if there are trustworthy people, they are all about the same age as Grandpa Lin.
In the Daoist temple near Yun Zhaozhao's place, there are a few trustworthy people, such as Jingting. But she entered the temple to become a Daoist abbot; it wouldn't be right to ask her to change her profession and go back to farming, would it?
At this moment, Yun Zhaozhao understood why everyone wanted to have a child of their own to raise as a successor. Look at Wen Zhengrong, he could confidently send Wen Xu to City A to manage the new factory. This model of sons succeeding fathers is probably the meaning of having children.
Grandpa Lin: "How about I have Banxia come over?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "Forget it. Banxia is learning medicine from Daoist Qiuting now, and she's doing quite well. Maybe she'll get her certificate in a few years. Besides, she's not interested in this. If you force her to come here from Clear Breeze Temple, it might even affect your relationship."
Grandpa Lin: "Well, there's nothing we can do then. We can only tell Banxia to hurry up and find a partner, have a baby as soon as possible, and then I'll try to live a few more years so that when the baby grows up, he can inherit our farm..."
baby...
Putting everything else aside, Clear Breeze Temple has quite a few children. If we really want to start raising children from scratch, then relying on Lin Banxia is not as good as choosing one of the ten children Clear Breeze Temple currently has.
Of course, this is a last resort. After all, it will be many, many years before the baby grows up!
Yun Zhaozhao couldn't think of a better solution for the time being, so she decided to just let Tang Li schedule a full-body checkup for Grandpa Lin. There was no other way; after all, if they wanted the children to grow up and take over Grandpa Lin's job, the prerequisite was that Grandpa Lin had to live a healthy life until the children grew up.
Therefore, a full-body checkup is still very necessary.
Fortunately, Grandpa Lin 'Grandpa Lin test results showed that he was in very good health, and he did not have any of the chronic diseases that many elderly people suffer from, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar.
It can only be said that people who work hard often, although they may look older due to the wind and sun, are actually much healthier than those who sit in an office all day and look younger.

The agricultural base is now cooperating with Wen Xu's factory, which means they need to frequently deliver goods to Wen Xu's factory.
Clear Breeze Temple received a few vehicles before, but those vehicles were only suitable for transporting small goods; they were not suitable for large-scale deliveries.
But buying a large truck specifically for delivery seems like a bad deal.
So Tang Li went to discuss with Yun Zhaozhao: "Could you talk to Young President Wen Young President Wen and have his trucks and drivers come directly to our area to pick up the goods? We can cover a little bit of the fuel and toll costs, or even lower the purchase price to offset it; we can discuss it."
Yun Zhaozhao thought the idea was feasible, but she wondered why Tang Li didn't just talk to Wen Xu directly.
Yun Zhaozhao: "Just talk to Wen Xu or Manager Huang directly. If it works, great; if not, we'll think of something else!"
