The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 504 Free Labor (2nd Update)
Just as Yun Ran was trying to comfort herself, a series of cracking sounds rang out.

Yunran: ...

He poured out all the medicine from the three bottles and swallowed it all in one gulp.

Whether it was these pills that could alleviate the pain of the gravitational pressure on the flesh and blood, the sound of skin tearing immediately disappeared.

After a while, Yunran adjusted, and the feeling of having difficulty breathing that she had before disappeared considerably.

Yunran used to think that time passed quickly, but now she feels that time is passing too slowly, and it can be described as if a second is like a year.

Since she was already here, and this place cost her 500 million, she felt she would be losing out if she didn't do more work.

Then, Yunran took out the treasure that the little paper doll had dug out of the deep pit earlier.

This place is not only suitable for seclusion, but also for crafting weapons and alchemy.

As for the ginseng fruit that was completely immobilized, Yunran had long forgotten about it.

Anyway, the ginseng fruit's body won't be crushed or starved, so there's no need to worry about it.

While Yunran was in seclusion, the head of the logistics department, whom she had entrusted with the task of building Qingfeng Temple, directly summoned people to begin construction.

With the help of the little paper figures, their construction period could be greatly shortened, and the money saved would all belong to him, so naturally he didn't want to waste a single minute.

The land that the Wang family gave them had actually attracted a lot of attention beforehand.

Located 300 kilometers away from Haicheng, the place boasts beautiful scenery, excellent feng shui, and is not far from a nature reserve.

That is the Wang family, one of the four great families of Kyoto. Any other slightly weaker family would have changed hands countless times in this place.

Now that construction has suddenly started, both the prominent families in Haicheng and those in Kyoto are showing interest.

"Have you found out exactly which company won the contract for this project?"

"We can't find out, but it's definitely not the Wang family or any of their companies, and it's certainly not one of the other three great families in Kyoto."

"Keep an eye on it. This is a huge piece of cake, and we've even managed to get involved with the Wang family. We can't just take it all for ourselves!"

Similar conversations have occurred in many places.

Unfortunately, the other three major families in Kyoto were very mindful of their boundaries and were not willing to get involved.

Others who tried to inquire were also turned away by the head of the logistics department.

Just kidding, this is a project that Yun Ran assigned to him, and he has to earn every single penny. He's notoriously stingy.

Seeing the busy little paper doll, who was as capable as a hundred strong laborers, the head of the logistics department had a smile on his face.

He was very happy to have this free labor.

"You are all so capable. I will definitely praise you to your master later. Your Qingfeng Temple will definitely be the most prestigious in the future."

"Keep it up, you guys are the best! I'm going to record a video of you, then everyone will be envious of your owner."

……

The logistics manager kept saying nice things like "it's free," which made the little paper soldiers work even harder.

They are the best, they will bring honor to their owner, and everyone will envy them, and even more so their owner!

The little paper figure, who had been fooled, worked with great enthusiasm and finished digging all the foundations in just one day.

This is a task that would normally take the logistics department at least two months to complete.

Ironically, this was done by free labor that didn't cost any money.

Now, not only the head of the logistics department, but also everyone he had gathered seemed to have their meridians opened. They started showering the little paper doll and its owner, Yun Ran, with compliments.

The consequence of this was that a pavilion that would normally take a month to build was completed in half a day, and even then, it was finished to a quality standard.

Their increased speed also meant that the delivered materials were quickly consumed.

Work was about to stop due to a lack of materials.

The head of the logistics department was so angry that he immediately called the relevant departments to urge them to deliver the goods.

"I'm warning you, I need to see the materials I need by tonight... What others need is none of my business... If you delay my time, then I'll have to postpone your budget requests for next year!"

Through coercion, bribery, and the abuse of power.

The head of the logistics department successfully intercepted all the materials needed for other projects.

As evening fell, the head of the logistics department smiled with satisfaction as he watched the continuous stream of delivery trucks arrive.

After this experience, he has come up with even more ways to increase revenue and reduce costs.

Other Xuanmen families or sects, seeing how dedicated he was to his work, would directly seek him out for any infrastructure projects or renovations they might want to undertake.

The head of the logistics department rubbed his chin and looked at the tireless little paper figure.

Hehehe smiled.

This business is worth doing; he needs to find a way to bring Yunran in to work together.

That way, the project can be completed quickly and efficiently, which would be incredibly profitable.

Let's see who dares to say again that their logistics department only knows how to chase after fines and is stingy all year round.

Xie Xuzhi also returned to Kyoto at this time.

Although it has not been officially announced, the news that he is the eldest son of the Xie family and will soon officially take the top position has spread throughout the entire Special Administration Bureau.

A week later, apart from a few unscrupulous individuals who were dealt with, those who had been so active before all quieted down.

After clarifying these matters, Xie Xuzhi was officially announced as the head of the Special Administration Bureau.

At the same time, the news that he was the eldest son of the Xie family became known throughout the entire Xuanmen circle and the circles of various aristocratic families.

The head of the logistics department shrank back when he thought of the previous rumors that Yun Ran was Xie Xuzhi's confidant.

At this moment, he was torn between two conflicting thoughts, unsure whether he should make money off Yunran.

In the end, he made up his mind. So what if Yun Ran was Director Xie's confidante? This was a business deal that Yun Ran had taken the initiative to discuss with him.

Even if it were Director Xie, there's no way he'd ask him to give back the money he'd earned.

After that, the head of the logistics department became exceptionally low-key, so as not to attract too much attention.

Half a month later, the basic structure of the newly built Qingfeng Temple had taken shape, and Gu Yuan even made a special trip to see it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my little sister Ranran is really awesome. She gets things done as soon as she's told to. Her efficiency is really impressive."

As she spoke, she patted the head of the logistics department on the shoulder: "My little sister Ranran really came to the right person by choosing you."

They were all shrewd people; the head of the logistics department understood immediately upon hearing it.

This was a deal between him and Yunran, and neither Director Xie nor Director Gu would interfere.

After being on tenterhooks for half a month, the head of the logistics department immediately felt relieved.

"Of course! Yunran and I became friends after a fight, and we're very close. I have to take care of her affairs!"
