Look at this, look at this, this is what it means to have a business mind!
Look, look! That's what it means to be eloquent!
No wonder Clear Breeze Temple's business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years. This just proves the saying: a top salesperson is a top salesperson no matter where they are.
In the past, Wen Xu Xu's father taught Wen Xu how to do business, Wen Xu scoffed at it. But now, facing Yun Zhaozhao, he is learning frame by frame.
So after the live stream ended, he eagerly went to Yun Zhaozhao to discuss. " Zhaozhao, is this tree-planting activity going to continue for quite a while? How about I have our factory staff bring some of our homemade Daoist-style chicken feet and shredded chicken over tomorrow for everyone to try, and maybe sell some on-site? After all, just eating cake and fruit can be a bit too much; we need something spicy to balance it out."
Wen Xu Company's products are all co-branded with Clear Breeze Temple, and the raw materials for various chicken feet and chicken are all sourced from Grandpa Lin's farm. Therefore, the higher the sales volume of Wen Xu Company's products, the fuller Yun Zhaozhao's wallet naturally becomes.
That's why Yun Zhaozhao naturally wouldn't object to Wen Xu's suggestion. In fact, after hearing Wen Xu's suggestion, her gaze towards Wen Xu was more tender and affectionate than usual.
Because her mind was focused on business, she didn't even notice that Wen Xu had called her " Zhaozhao " affectionately for the first time.
Yun Zhaozhao: "Not bad, Young President Wen, you're getting better and better at business."
Wen Xu responded quite naturally, "It's mainly because Teacher Yun teaches so well."
The Daoist priest standing nearby remarked, "These days, young people call each other 'teacher' when they're dating? I guess I'm getting old; I can't understand love these days."

When Chairman Jiang of the Taoist Association heard that Yun Zhaozhao had contracted a large area of mountain forest and was leading the Clear Breeze Temple priests of Qingfeng Temple and the nearby villagers to plant trees, he felt that this was a newsworthy story and specially invited a media reporter he knew to come and follow up on the story.
To be honest, Chairman Jiang also had his own selfish motives in doing this.
In recent years, he has gotten a bit older and feels that his health is not as good as before. Although he doesn't have any major illnesses, he always feels that he is not strong enough. So for the past few years, he has been trying to support and cultivate a new person to succeed him as the president of the Taoist Association.
He felt that Yun Zhaozhao was a good fit. On the one hand, Yun Zhaozhao was young and full of energy; on the other hand, Clear Breeze Temple had a great influence on the Internet and among young people, which in some ways even surpassed the orthodox True Yang Temple of Daoism.
Moreover, through these meetings and interactions with Yun Zhaozhao, Chairman Jiang has come to approve of Yun Zhaozhao's character. He feels confident that if he were to retire one day, he could hand over the Taoist Association to Yun Zhaozhao.
Of course, these were all Chairman Jiang's own thoughts, and he hadn't found an opportunity to bring them up with Yun Zhaozhao before.
So he brought the reporters here this time, partly to sing the praises of Yun Zhaozhao and all the Daoists for their contributions to the "afforestation" project, and partly to talk to Yun Zhaozhao about the successor.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Yun Zhaozhao immediately refused. "I can't take it at all. I'm already looking for someone to take over Clear Breeze Temple!"
Chairman Jiang was speechless. "... I'm over 60 this year, so it's understandable that I'm thinking about a successor. You're just a young man in your twenties, the prime of your career, why are you thinking about a successor? Aren't you just making things worse?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "I started working right after graduating from university, and I feel like I've had enough of working until I'm 28. So my lifelong dream is to take advantage of the time I can still work now to do all the jobs I want to do and accumulate all the wealth I need to accumulate, so that when I'm 28, I can retire early and enjoy life. 28 is the best age for retirement!"
Chairman Jiang glanced at her sideways. "... How come I remember you mentioned Daoist Chuli before that he was over 100 years old, which is the prime age for striving?"
Yun Zhaozhao: "You don't understand. It's precisely because Clear Breeze Temple has elderly people like Daoist Chuli and Grandpa Lin, who are still working hard even in their seventies and eighties, that we have young people like me who only need to work until we're 28 to enjoy retirement! This is the legendary 'one generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade'."
Before Chairman Jiang could offer further persuasion, Yun Zhaozhao patted him on the shoulder and said calmly, "Oh, Chairman Jiang, please don't try to persuade me anymore. I've already made up my mind. Anyway, if I average it with Martial Uncle Chuli, we'll both retire in our fifties or sixties."
Chairman Jiang:... No wonder you're a college student; you understand the concept of averages.

The Chairman Jiang be helpless against Yun Zhaozhao.
But since he was already there, he couldn't just leave empty-handed, so he angrily joined the tree-planting army and started planting trees with everyone.
He actually came from a farming background, but later went to school and went to work in the city, so he hadn't wielded a hoe for many years. Now, even though he's a little tired from exercising, he feels quite energetic.
"Planting trees" is hardly a big news story for media people, but because Reporter Cui is an old acquaintance of Chairman Jiang, he had already vowed to make a big story before he came to interview him.
While Chairman Jiang was chatting with Yun Zhaozhao, he had already taken many photos and recorded some short videos of the scene.
Seeing Chairman Jiang sweating profusely while planting trees, Reporter Cui cheerfully came over and chatted with Chairman Jiang: "Wow, you dug a good hole. You're still going strong, as energetic as ever."
Chairman Jiang glared at him. "Who are you calling old? Do you believe I'll dig a hole right here and bury you right here and now?"
Reporter Cui remained good-natured, smiling, and didn't seem to take her old friend's words to heart at all.
Looking at the camera in his hand, Chairman Jiang finally remembered the important matter. "Even if this kind of news about a Daoist priest leading villagers to plant trees is published in the newspaper, it probably won't get much attention, right?"
Reporter Cui: "Whether it gets attention depends on who writes it. If you write it, nobody will read it."
Chairman Jiang was initially angry, but considering his own writing skills, he ultimately resigned himself to his fate and shut his mouth. "What, so you mean you'll get attention if you write it?"
Reporter Cui: "I can't write it either, because I don't make a living with words; this is what I rely on."
As Reporter Cui spoke, he handed over his camera. Chairman Jiang leaned over to take a look and discovered that Reporter Cui was only photographing handsome men, and there were many close-ups. It was either the Daoist priests' delicate, sweaty faces, or their beautiful hands leaning against trees...
Reporter Cui: "Let alone just becoming a monk, even if someone dies, high looks will always attract attention. This is an eternal truth."
Yun Zhaozhao came over to bring food to Chairman Jiang and happened to overhear what Reporter Cui said. She wasn't familiar with Reporter Cui before, and today was actually their first meeting, but she had to admit that she agreed with what Reporter Cui said.
So she looked at Reporter Cui with admiration. "That makes sense. Give Clear Breeze Temple a good talking-to. We may not Clear Breeze Temple much else, but we have plenty of handsome men."
Chapter 151
The news of Yun Zhaozhao leading the Daoist priests of Clear Breeze Temple and the nearby villagers to plant trees was quickly reported by Reporter Cui with pictures and text.
As Reporter Cui predicted, although planting trees alone didn't attract much attention, the photos featured many handsome men, so even Reporter Cui's colleagues couldn't help but ask Reporter Cui a few more questions after seeing the report, not to mention the locals who were already quite interested in Clear Breeze Temple.
Some people even approached Yun Zhaozhao after seeing the news, offering to donate "afforestation funds" to Clear Breeze Temple.
While Yun Zhaozhao was thrilled, she rationally refused. "Although Clear Breeze Temple can accept donations, all donations can only be used for the construction and daily operation of the temple. Afforestation is a social action spontaneously organized by our temple, so we cannot use it as a pretext to raise funds from the public..."
The other party completely failed to grasp Yun Zhaozhao's subtext and insisted on donating funds for afforestation. "Planting trees is a good thing that benefits future generations, and I also want to contribute. Please, Abbot, grant my request..."
Yun Zhaozhao: "This really won't work..."
Finally, Martial Uncle Chuli couldn't stand it anymore and bluntly stated, "Why are you so stubborn, young man? The abbot can't accept afforestation fees, so why don't you just say it's a donation for afforestation?"
The other person was actually middle-aged, but being called a "young man" by Martial Uncle Chuli didn't dare to complain at all; in fact, he was quite happy about it. After all, who isn't a young man in front of the centenarian Martial Uncle Chuli? And being called "young man" is much better than being called "grandpa" in kindergarten.
He thanked his Martial Uncle Chuli, and then, following Martial Uncle Chuli's suggestion, he didn't mention the afforestation funds again. Instead, he quietly changed his mind and said he wanted to donate some money to Clear Breeze Temple.
Yun Zhaozhao was also quite sensible. "Don't worry, I will definitely use your 'donation money' properly for the right purpose."
After receiving the money, Yun Zhaozhao had it recorded in the accounts, and then immediately used the money to purchase a batch of new saplings according to the donor's request.
Moreover, Yun Zhaozhao learned three things from this experience: First, spending money really does make people feel happy; second, spending money to do good deeds can bring double the happiness; third, spending other people's money to do the good deeds you want to do is a spiral-like feeling of happiness.

When they planted trees last time, Wen Xu told Yun Zhaozhao that he would bring some food from the factory for the tree planters to taste for free, and he kept his word. In the past, he would have definitely delegated these small tasks to his subordinates, but this time, like Yun Zhaozhao, he chose to do it himself.
Handsome guys are popular in any situation, especially when they're selling free snacks; their popularity is even greater.
