The screen on the laptop didn't keep Li Wen waiting long; after a few flashes, an image appeared.

The initial scene showed blue sky and white clouds rushing past the window... Was it on an airplane?

Just as Li Wen had this question, he saw the screen turn, and then a very beautiful girl appeared on the screen.

She was wearing a traditional white long robe like those from the Stone region, but without a headscarf, and her beautiful light-colored eyes were staring curiously at Li Wen.

She has an air of nobility about her.

Li Wen had only ever seen this feeling in Ariel.

She really does seem to be a princess from the royal family?

At this moment, Li Wen recalled what Charles had just said. It seemed that he really hadn't lied to him... But Li Wen didn't understand why a royal princess would specifically try to keep an ordinary person like him.

The girl spoke first, her voice soft and clear, her Mandarin pronunciation very standard: "Hello Li Wen, my name is Amira. It may be a bit abrupt for us to meet in this way, please understand."

As a royal princess, Amira did not act arrogantly, and she omitted her title and family name when introducing herself, which also represents her attitude.

"Hello, Your Highness..."

Li Wen subconsciously used the way he addressed Ariel when they were working together.

Amira thought Li Wen was using a respectful form of address, so she shook her head and said, "Li Wen, I want to be friends with you. We can just call each other by our first names."

Amira speaks very directly; is that a habit from her side?

Li Wen thought for a moment, then complied with the other party's request: "Hello, Amira, Mr. Charles and I just talked about some things, and I'd like to verify if those things are true?"

Amira nodded gently and said, "What Charles expressed is indeed my idea."

Li Wen was even more puzzled: "Why? I'm just an ordinary logistics staff member, right? My abilities aren't the best, but there are many people in the group who are more capable than me."

Li Wen was telling the truth. In this era, there is no shortage of people who are both capable and stubborn. There are plenty of talented people within the group who are competent for the job he is in.

A serious look appeared in Amira's light-colored eyes as she said softly, "If we only pursue ability, I can poach the top talents with high salaries, but none of them have the qualities you possess."

"What traits?"

"Character."

Amira continued, "In the report provided by Charles, I found that your character was always ranked first in the overall ethical assessment of the group."

"I need someone of such high moral character to assist me in my upcoming work, so I need your help." Amira spoke her mind directly.

"..."

Li Wen was somewhat speechless. He had only shown basic moral conscience at work, and yet he was considered to have the highest moral character... Then the moral character of the average person in the Venus Group was a bit worrying.

Actually, Li Wen misunderstood. When Amira said that his character came first, she meant that he had absolute principles.

Because Li Wen never sought personal gain during his work. It was just a matter of his word, and it didn't even constitute a violation of the rules, but Li Wen simply didn't do it.

This principle became even more valuable under Charles's "laissez-faire" management style.

It's important to understand that within the logistics system overseen by Li Wen, he was the sole decision-maker, yet he still didn't engage in any actions that violated principles.

Li Wen's character perfectly matched Amira's needs, because she would need someone like him to assist her in all the work she was about to undertake.

Moreover, during the process of assisting her, she would inevitably be secretly tempted by money from her uncles or cousins.

Because overseeing the reform of the Venus Group is Amira's "homework" this time, only by doing the homework perfectly can she pass the family's assessment and truly take control of the conglomerate as a princess.

One important criterion for this homework assignment is "management" and "cooperation," which prevents Amira from doing everything herself. Moreover, the people she can cooperate with must be people other than those provided by the family; she has to find them herself.

Amira searched for a long time before finally finding the answer on Li Wen.

Li Wen's performance also proved that he met Amira's needs.

While Li Wen was in a daze, Amira told him about the family assessment.

"Li Wen, I need your help."

Amira's tone was very sincere.

The girl in front of me is not just pretty; she controls wealth far exceeding hundreds of millions... and she is not just about money.

Based on Charles's words and the news reports, Li Wen guessed that Amira might still hold power related to the royal family.

Li Wen looked at the girl's face in the image and pondered for a while, then nodded: "I agree to this cooperation request."

Amira's lips curled into a slight smile, enhancing her beauty even further: "Then, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

The two shook hands across the screen and then agreed to discuss the details three days later.

Li Wen agreed to the collaboration for a reason: he also needed Amira's help.

Establishing factories in China is clearly not feasible if we want to provide large-scale production assistance to Anxi Town in the future.

If you buy too many of certain items without careful consideration, it can attract the attention of relevant departments.

Abroad, as long as you take care of the relevant departments, you can avoid this kind of trouble, and there aren't that many prohibited items.

As long as the warehouses are distributed and there are clear inflows and outflows in the open accounts, there's no need to worry about this issue.

If you try to do this kind of thing abroad using only your own connections, you're likely to get ripped off or exploited. But if you have Amira, the oil princess, as your backer, then many things won't be a problem... Plus, she can provide some military-related assistance, which is also very important for Anxi Town.

After Li asked the question, Charles immediately came over anxiously and inquired, "How did it go? Li, how did your negotiations with Her Highness the Princess go?"

Seeing Charles's nervousness, Li Wen smiled and said, "I have no plans to resign at the moment."

"Oh! Li! I knew I hadn't misjudged you! From the first time I learned of your existence, I knew you were different from everyone else!"

Upon hearing that Li Wen had given up the idea of ​​resigning, Charles began to flatter him.

Li Wen exchanged a few polite words with Charles before leaving the group headquarters and returning home.

Upon returning home, Li Wen immediately began processing his passport online. Having already gained experience from his previous trip with Wang Lang, Li Wen was ready to work with him.

After completing the formalities, Li Wen dialed the phone number left by Arcana.

"Hey, my friend, I have a big deal for you. Are you interested?"

Arcana was surprised and somewhat pleased to hear Li Wen's voice: "Big deal? Is it legal? Let me make it clear beforehand, the prices for these two are different."

Li Wen smiled and said, "Of course it's legal. It just means you can set up a shell company for me, and then rent a large warehouse in the company's name. The things stored in the warehouse are all grain."

After hearing Li Wen's words, Arcana readily agreed: "No problem, leave it to me. I'll get it done for you by tomorrow morning. Of course, you'll have to pay for everything; I won't advance any funds."

"Of course."

After discussing it with Arcana, Li Wen hung up the phone and then dialed Lao Zhou's number.

"Hey, Brother Zhou, do you still have any old rice or grain in stock?"

"Of course I have some! How much do you want?"

Old Zhou sounded excited.

Although old rice may be sold at a discount, the price of regular rice is not high, so few people usually buy it.

Li Wen smiled and said, "I'll take as many as you have, but it will have to be shipped internationally. I'm just buying for a friend."

"No problem! Don't worry!"

Li Wen's large-scale purchase of grain was well-prepared, because Anxi Town would soon be hit by a refugee crisis.

There are at least tens of thousands of refugees in the entire Yanshan area, and as the reputation of the shelters spreads, the number of refugees attracted will only increase.

Li Wen had to make thorough preparations in advance.

Of course, it was also necessary to ensure the food supply for Anxi Town itself.

Perfect timing! By now, the first batch of sweet potatoes and potatoes should be ready for harvest, right?
