Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

"Has Li asked you to increase costs and expenses these days?"

In the top-floor office of the Venus Group, Charles rested his chin on the back of his hands and asked.

The logistics supervisor next to him wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Mr. Charles, recently Li Wen has only been able to return to the company once a week to sign in, and hasn't been back at all."

"Oh? How well has he fulfilled his contractual duties?"

The supervisor uttered two words: "Perfect."

Thanks to the Jin Xing Group's active cooperation with the reforms, it has gained some policy benefits in the local area, thus providing the already thriving Jin Xing Hotel with even more resources.

This also led to a significant increase in the amount of supplies needed for logistics.

Charles had assumed that Li Wen would demand a new contract due to the high cost of handling the scrapped ingredients, since the group had increased the quantity of scrapped ingredients first.

As a result, Li Wen accepted everything without question.

"...It seems I misjudged you this time. I didn't expect that you guys actually have people who don't care about profits at all and just do things according to the rules."

Charles sighed.

Charles's words made the supervisor even more embarrassed.

As the logistics supervisor, he often used his authority to obtain some "legitimate benefits," but his actions never violated any principles, so Charles did not punish him.

Supervisors become easier to manage because they feel guilty, which is one of Charles's management techniques.

Although he was appointed as an agent by the oil tycoons, as a powerful force, he still needed the cooperation of the local bullies to suppress them.

Charles believes that Li Wen's "selflessness" is just a show, a performance for a bigger stage.

So I gave him a bigger stage.

Charles had originally envisioned that Li Wen, now on a larger stage, would surely have to consider his own "interests." However, Li Wen continued to work diligently and did not do anything that "legally exercised" his rights.

Even though he was already at a disadvantage in the contract, and the amount of ingredients delivered to him every day exceeded the amount stipulated in the contract, Li Wen did not complain.

The facts are there, and it's rare for Charles to admit his defeat.

"...In that case, we need to acknowledge our mistakes. Have the legal department update the contract, changing the monthly amount to 200,000, and have the finance department make the payment directly. This will also help offset our losses from last month. Have Manager Li sign the new contract when he has time."

Charles was still somewhat skeptical; he didn't believe that someone with power could still honestly go to work.

Therefore, Li Wen was given an even bigger stage.

According to the new policy, food processing costs are very high. By outsourcing, Venus Hotel can reduce its costs by 90%. Paying a little more in the contract is not a big deal.

However, Charles still wanted to see how long Li Wen could maintain this rule-abiding behavior. After all, the princess had noticed Li Wen, and as her agent, Charles had to thoroughly investigate all the work before the princess came to complete the assignment herself.

That princess is not just a conglomerate's princess; she is also a legitimate royal princess of an oil-producing country.

When Li Wen arrived in the modern world, he was puzzled to find an extra 100,000 yuan in his bank card. Just as he was about to call the police, he saw a missed call from the logistics supervisor.

After glancing at the payment remarks again and discovering that it was from the finance department of Venus Group, Li Wen suppressed his doubts and called back.

When the call was connected, the supervisor was very approachable, like an older brother.

He has completely lost that "I am the leader" attitude he used to have.

After learning the reason, Li Wen hung up the phone with a strange expression.

Why is there an extra charge?

Li Wen was aware of the amount of discarded food ingredients transported to the warehouse every day.

But this was something that would benefit him in the first place, so Li Wen didn't bother to react. He didn't expect the hotel to take the initiative to raise the price.

"He's actually a pretty nice person."

Li Wen sighed.

However, he didn't have time to sign the contract today because he had something more important to do.

Previously, Li Wen left a message asking Wang Liwei and Liu Xing to help inquire if there were any piglets for sale. Today, Lao Wang sent them the contact information.

After communicating with the other party, Li Wen decided to conduct an on-site inspection.

Li Wen took a taxi and drove for an hour on the highway before arriving at the agreed location.

This is a breeding farm in the countryside.

When Li Wen got out of the car, he negotiated with the driver and changed the order to go back. He also gave the driver an extra pack of cigarettes and asked him to wait a little longer, about half an hour.

Li Wen offered him "Huazi" (a type of Chinese currency), which was hard currency, so the driver naturally agreed.

When Li Wen arrived, he found the farm manager waiting for him in person.

"You must be Manager Li?"

The factory manager was exceptionally enthusiastic.

Li Wen shook hands with him and said, "You must be Factory Director Zhu. Brother Wang introduced me here."

Factory Director Zhu was very polite: "When Old Wang recommended Manager Li to me, I was overjoyed! Manager Li, you have no idea how difficult it is to do business these days!"

Director Zhu poured out his grievances as soon as they met.

Li Wen said with a smile, "Director Zhu, you're so honest, aren't you afraid I'll try to lower the price?"

Upon hearing this, Factory Director Zhu smiled and replied, "I certainly wouldn't dare say so much to anyone else, but Manager Li is different; that's your character!"

After finishing his sentence, Director Zhu gave a thumbs-up.

"You flatter me. Shall we go see the piglets?"

"Okay, okay, okay, I'm all ready."

Led by Director Zhu, Li Wen arrived at the workshop.

Although the farm inevitably had some odors, the surrounding environment was exceptionally clean, which was quite different from the pig-raising environment Li Wen had imagined.

Each pigpen contains a sow with piglets.

The piglets were quite lively and ran around happily.

"These babies all weigh around seven kilograms each, prepared according to Manager Li's requirements," Factory Director Zhu explained.

Li Wen was quite pleased to see the piglets frolicking around like friends in a group chat, but he didn't immediately agree. Instead, he inquired about the price: "How much extra can Director Zhu offer for these piglets?"

Zhu Changsheng sighed and said, "Manager Li, I won't play games with you. It's no secret that the market is sluggish. I'll give you the lowest price of 190 each for seven-kilogram piglets, but the minimum order is at least fifty. If you want vaccines and all the necessary veterinary medicine included, add another 100 per pig."

Li Wen didn't expect that Director Zhu offered an all-inclusive service, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Li Wen said, "Okay, Director Zhu, I'll take it all, and I'll buy 100 piglets first, and then add more as needed. However, Director Zhu, I'm a novice and don't have much experience in raising pigs, so you'll have to teach me a lot."

Factory Director Zhu was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "No problem! Manager Li, if you encounter any problems in the future, feel free to ask me. I will definitely not hold back. It doesn't matter if you have no experience. Take this tablet with you; it contains my 'Burning Techniques' for raising pigs."

Unexpectedly, Director Zhu is quite trendy, having adopted the Burning Technique.

After opening Director Zhu's "Burning Technique" and looking around, Li Wen found it was full of useful information and signed the contract with him with satisfaction.

The piglets can only be delivered tomorrow because they need to be vaccinated.

Li Wen happened to go back to Anxi Town ahead of time to prepare the pigsty.
