Ling Zhenfei was stunned. Sun Liqing's situation at home was quite complex. His son, named Sun Zan, had found work outside after graduating from university, and he seldom returned home.
Originally, Sun Liqing's household was rather lonely, so when Bai Mei arrived without a place to stay, Sun Liqing took the initiative to arrange for Bai Mei to live at his house.
Now that his son had come back too, and could work together at the manor, it was, of course, a very good thing.
"Congratulations to you, work hard together, and utilize all the knowledge he acquired at the university," Ling Zhenfei said.
"Of course, I will definitely have my son work hard and apply everything he learned in college to our Creek Mountain Manor estate," Sun Liqing confidently replied.
After chatting with Sun Liqing for a while, Ling Zhenfei walked out of the greenhouse with Jiu Jiu.
"The Ziling Fruits we had earlier were incredibly delicious. Can I take some with me when I leave?" Jiu Jiu had eaten two Ziling Fruits in the greenhouse and found them extraordinarily tasty.
"Of course," Ling Zhenfei said with a smile. "I'll bring some with you when you go."
Ling Zhenfei took Jiu Jiu around Xishan Manor and then they reached the livestock farming area.
In Xishan Manor, they raised wild boars and pheasants. Naturally, a restaurant needs its own meat supply, so Xishan Manor also needed to develop its own animal husbandry.
The pheasants and wild boars were already being raised on a considerable scale, but achieving mass breeding like the vegetables was somewhat unlikely, so the supply of pheasants and wild boars was becoming somewhat tight.
As Ling Zhenfei was walking by, he happened to see Guo Shun and Si Ming engrossed in a discussion.
"Boss Ling, what brings you here?"
Guo Shun was the first to spot Ling Zhenfei and spoke to him.
"I was just taking a casual stroll and checking out how things are developing around here," replied Ling Zhenfei.
Guo Shun said, "Boss Ling, the pressure that President Chen has put on me is pretty intense, asking me to increase breeding scale. But to maintain the meat quality of the livestock, the number we are raising here has already reached its limit."
Ling Zhenfei glanced over at the pheasants. Their density indeed seemed high. Despite the free-range model they used, pheasants were seen everywhere. The number couldn't be increased further without compromising the quality compared to wild pheasants.
"So what do you think is the solution?" inquired Ling Zhenfei.
Guo Shun replied, "Si Ming and I have just discussed it. We must expand the scale, further enlarging the breeding farm."
Ling Zhenfei looked around. Beyond where the pheasants were, wild boars were raised. The area for wild boars was much larger. However, raising wild boars should start from the mountain, and the space needed was vast.
After some thought, Ling Zhenfei said, "With wild boar farming, a small area won't do. Let me handle this. Right now, from Xi Shan to Nanshan, all is ours.
With Beishan being the village's exit, that only leaves Dongshan available for use. If we can secure Dongshan for exclusive farming of pheasants and wild boars, the output would increase significantly."
Guo Shun and Si Ming both exclaimed, "That would be fantastic! If it really comes to that, our supply chain will become much more abundant."
"Alright, let's do it this way. I will resolve this issue as quickly as possible for you. Right now, what you need to focus on is ensuring that your farming can meet the needs of Xi Shan Restaurant," Ling Zhenfei instructed.
"You can rest assured on that front," Guo Shun assured him. "The current volume of our livestock is sufficient to supply over a dozen large restaurants with no issue, and anyway, we are currently focusing on vegetables. There aren't that many orders for our pheasants and wild boars yet."
"Don't worry about that. As soon as Xi Shan Restaurant starts using them, I'm confident your pheasants and wild boars will be in high demand," Ling Zhenfei said, quite confident that Xi Shan Restaurant would definitely set a trend.
After chatting for a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Ling Zhenfei walked back with Jiu Jiu.
On the way back, Jiu Jiu looked at Ling Zhenfei with a sense of disbelief and said, "Something doesn't feel right to me. Why does everyone call you Boss Ling and hand over those matters to you? What exactly is your relationship with Xishan Manor?"
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "My relationship with Xishan Manor is very close, otherwise my restaurant couldn't be named Xi Shan Restaurant, right?"
Jiu Jiu still felt that something was strange: "What exactly is your relationship with this Xi Shan Restaurant?"
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You'll know in a bit. It's getting late, and the contracts should all be signed by now. Let's hurry up."
Although Jiu Jiu still had many questions, the most important thing now was the contract signing, so she followed Ling Zhenfei to the office.
Upon entering the office, they saw Zhou Yun and others busily preparing, obviously in the midst of hectic arrangements.
With so many companies having signed contracts just now, deliveries needed to be made the next day. Thus, Xishan Manor was at full capacity, and the vegetable supply started to become somewhat tense.
As Ling Zhenfei walked in, Zhou Yun and the others all looked over at him, but they were surprised to see a girl following behind him.
This was not the first time Ling Zhenfei had brought a girl over; each time, the girls were stunning, and this time was no exception, leading many people to label Ling Zhenfei with two words: playboy.
But Ling Zhenfei was the big boss, and of course, everybody needed to acknowledge his return.
Especially the female accountants, who all stood up to greet Ling Zhenfei: "Hello Boss Ling."
"Keep up the good work, don't mind me."
The two women sat back down and resumed their work, but seeing this, Jiu Jiu became even more curious.
Chen Qian and Zhou Yun walked over, their looks conveying a very clear message— who is this girl?
Ling Zhenfei, seeing the meaning in their eyes, introduced them by saying, "Let me introduce you, you know Fenglin Hotel, right? Miss Shi here is representing her father, Mr. Shi Wen, to sign the contract."
Chen Qian and Zhou Yun both suddenly realized what was going on.
Ling Zhenfei turned to Jiu Jiu and introduced, "These two are the people in charge of Xishan Manor, Mr. Chen Qian and Miss Zhou Yun."
Chen Qian and Zhou Yun laughed a little after hearing this, and Chen Qian said, "Don't be modest, you're the big boss here."
Chen Qian's words greatly shocked Jiu Jiu, leaving her mouth agape, unable to speak.
"You're the boss, you're actually the boss, and you still..."
Ling Zhenfei hurriedly said, "I'm not the boss. The people currently in charge of Xishan Manor are the two in front of you, President Chen and Director Zhou. In the future, I'll mainly be responsible for the Xi Shan Restaurant side of things."
Jiu Jiu snorted coldly, obviously unhappy that Ling Zhenfei had concealed his identity.
Zhou Yun, seeing that Jiu Jiu was somewhat upset, quickly changed the subject, "Miss Shi is here to help Mr. Shi Wen sign the contract, right? Then let's quickly proceed, I'll have you sign."
Then she led Jiu Jiu to a table to sign the contract. Jiu Jiu glanced through it and, seeing the prices listed, exclaimed in surprise: "The vegetables from Xishan Manor are just too expensive."
"There's no helping it, it's worth the price. Otherwise, so many big bosses wouldn't be rushing over to sign contracts this late," Zhou Yun said with a smile.
