Chapter 425: Cao!
When Lin Xuan Qi was having a bath in his bathtub after he was done with conjuring the pills and cultivation, he summoned the system’s information panel.
Words began to appear in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Clan Prosperity System.]
[Current Status: 270 personnel in the clan.]
[Daily Rice Delivery: 2700KG.]
[Choose person in mansion to see summary of their day:]
[1. Xue Cong.]
[2. Yue Jie.]
[3. Yue Xin.]
[4. Lee He Song.]
[5. Liu Shi Shi.]
...
Lin Xuan Qi went through the long list and stopped at Cao, the potential candidate Bai Xun had recommended as the new supervisor for the factory in the south.
He thought about Cao’s name and the system prompted him to confirm.
[Read daily summary of Cao? Y/N]
He said "Yes" silently in his mind and more information panels appeared.
[Ding!]
[Summary of Cao’s day.]
[Cao wasn’t too happy with the process of getting the result of their production to be delivered.]
[He thought about making it more efficient with a better mode of transport.]
[It would be better if they had horses and carts to do so in the factory.]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Respect: 99]
[Gratitude: 99]
Lin Xuan Qi nodded when he saw the idea that Cao had.
It was indeed time for him to upgrade the mode of transport for the factories.
That made him more comfortable with having Cao as the new supervisor for the factory in the south.
Even when the respect and gratitude points weren’t full, he was fine with it as long as the loyalty was at 100.
For someone with ideas and strong opinions he expected Cao to be so and not follow him blindly.
And with that settled, Lin Xuan Qi relaxed himself in the bathtub.
It was time for him to make a visit to the factory in the south tomorrow.
...
Next day.
Lin Xuan Qi and Lee He Song went to the factory in the west to pay a visit to Bai Xun.
He couldn’t help but take a few glances at Lee He Song.
Lee He Song was looking much more menacing now with the Nine Yin Ice Sword in his hand.
"Master Lin, I didn’t expect you to be here again so soon." Bai Xun was surprised when he saw Lin Xuan Qi in the factory.
He pulled the young man who was next to him and introduced the young man to Lin Xuan Qi, "This is Cao whom I’ve talked to you about."
Cao cupped his hands, bowed at Lin Xuan Qi and greeted him, "Master Lin."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head at Cao and said, "I hope you will do well in the new role."
"New role?" Cao wasn’t sure what he was talking about and he asked.
Bai Xun was happy for Cao when he heard Lin Xuan Qi.
He patted Cao on his back and said, "You’ll be the new supervisor for the factory."
"But we were..." Cao was confused as he was trying hard to get Bai Xun to acquire the horses and carts for the factory.
It wasn’t going smoothly for him and yet, he was now suddenly made the new supervisor for the factory?
He relished the opportunity to be promoted but it was so sudden for him.
Lin Xuan Qi gave Bai Xun a nod and said, "Get him to go through the accounts and hand over whatever you have on hand first."
Bai Xun did so and it helped with letting Cao know why he wasn’t so interested in getting the horses and carts at the moment.
The factory’s cost of production was high with the labor cost and raw material cost.
It needed to wait for funds to be injected as investment before he could do so.
Cao, who wasn’t privy to this information previously, had missed out on this.
He cupped his hands at Bai Xun, wanting to thank Bai Xun for his patience with him.
Bai Xun stopped him and said, "The best thing you can do now is to take over and excel in it."
Lin Xuan Qi nodded his head and said, "I’m open to any of your suggestions if you have any, it would be the first thing you do as the new supervisor for the factory."
Cao glanced over at Bai Xun and Bai Xun gave him a nod.
He then began to talk about his idea of getting horses and carts to get the efficiency even higher.
When he was done, he fiddled with the side of his shirt while he waited for Lin Xuan Qi’s reply, fearing that Lin Xuan Qi would give the same answer as Bai Xun.
What he got was a pleasant surprise.
Lin Xuan Qi patted his shoulder and said, "It is a great suggestion and I would implement it across the factories I own."
"Thanks so much." Cao cupped his hands and gave him a deep bow again.
Lin Xuan Qi let Bai Xun brief Cao on the duties of being the supervisor and hand over the tasks on hand before he discussed the new role for Bai Xun.
...
Inside Bai Xun’s supervisor room, they sat and Bai Xun apologized for the state of the room.
There were documents on the table and the furniture wasn’t in the best condition.
Lin Xuan Qi took note of it and thought that it was also time to improve the living conditions for the workers.
When he set up the factories, he got them up and running with the bare minimum.
It was necessary to let the workers feel that there were constant improvements in their lives after working so hard.
"It’s fine." Lin Xuan Qi assured Bai Xun and he began to talk about the mission for Bai Xun to get to Gui Feng City.
"I need you to go there and scout for locations suitable for retail shops.
"They should preferably be large enough for storage and a display area."
He wanted to get something that allowed for more flexibility initially.
If they were big enough for some storage, he wouldn’t have to get a warehouse in the beginning.
And when it takes off, then he could think about doing so.
The retail shops could then be renovated with all the space for display and sales.
Bai Xun nodded his head and said, "I will do my best."
