Chapter 35: Is this the legendary Director Jiang, who is in charge of logistics?
The next day, news of the strange occurrences in the underground market spread throughout Jiuzhi Garden. Discussions raged in the greenhouses, with both interns and full-time employees buzzing about it. Jiang Qiu, however, remained oblivious, tending to her potted plants while pondering how to cultivate the next [Golden Spirit Cage]—
[Golden Spirit Cage] There are two mid-grade fruits left. One of them can continue to be cultivated with rare nutrient soil. Because the quality is higher than the beginning, the fruit limit will also increase by 1 after using the superior recipe, becoming 4 fruits.
However, this number is still very small.
Once the fruit matures, a portion will be used for further cultivation, leaving very little to supply Zhao Nan, which will significantly reduce the profits.
However, if we skip a few periods first and use all the results to cultivate, and then supply them to Zhao Nan after the scale is expanded, the cost would be too high. Furthermore, the assessment is imminent, and cultivation also costs money, so we can't wait too long.
In this way, every fruit of the [Golden Spirit Cage] is extremely precious and must be used to its fullest potential. Both fruits should be planted in rare nutrient soil as much as possible, and it would be best to get a bonus that can break through the yield barrier.
Unfortunately, rare nutrient soil is randomly generated when mixing level 1 nutrient soil, so the direction of its bonus is not guaranteed. You might spend tens of thousands of dollars to get a batch, only to find that it doesn't provide any additional bonus to rare spiritual plants...
"Brother Jiang, someone's looking for you!" Suddenly a loud shout interrupted his thoughts. He looked up abruptly and saw Zhang San waving and running over. At that moment, everyone in the shed looked over, their eyes filled with inscrutable expressions.
"Right away." Jiang Qiu wiped his sweat, and as soon as he stopped working, Zhang San snatched all the tools from his hands, smiling broadly. "Brother Jiang, let me help you pack these up. They're waiting outside!"
"Who's looking for me?" This situation left him completely bewildered. He worried that it might be a leader from the park who had come to inspect the work and discovered the problem. He quickly took off his dirty gloves and stuffed them into his pocket, and his pace unconsciously quickened by a third.
"Hehe, Jiang Qiao is in the logistics department too!" Zhang San followed closely beside him, clicking his tongue in amazement. "I didn't expect you to know their superiors, Brother Jiang. No wonder you're so confident selling our nutrient soil..."
"The Logistics Department?" Jiang Qiu's heart tightened.
The logistics department is in charge of the distribution of supplies throughout the entire park, covering all greenhouses, courtyards, and even the front-line base. Countless potted plants in the thousands of acres of greenhouses are supplied by their personnel, including seedlings, nutrient soil, fertilizer, and so on.
After interns are promoted to full-time employees, if they are not promoted to trainee, most of them will be transferred to the logistics department, where they will be assigned work.
That is one of the most important management units in the park.
Rumors suggest that Jiang Qiao's background is related to the logistics department.
Are they here to cause trouble?
Before Jiang Qiu could answer Zhang San's question, she met the gaze of a pretty figure in denim outside the greenhouse. The woman had her arms crossed, chin held high, and a smile playing on her lips. "Jiang Qiu, we meet again."
The man in a suit next to her also turned to look at her, sizing her up. "I was instructed to accompany Miss Jiang to see the director. The notice has been issued to the person in charge of the greenhouse. Your work will be temporarily assigned to someone else. Let's go."
"Okay." Jiang Qiu nodded.
On a clear day, the three of us, like tiny ants, passed through the gaps in the greenhouses and the green belts, and entered the shadow of the Jiuzhi Garden Administration Building, which blocked half the sky. We took the sightseeing elevator, and the greenhouse area became more and more exquisite as it shrank.
White plastic sheds, crisscrossing each other.
The employees moved about like worker ants.
Standing atop a building for the first time, overlooking the greenhouse where she worked, Jiang Qiu was overwhelmed with emotions and quickly made her way to the director's office.
Knock knock, a man in a suit knocked twice on the solid wood door, and a strong voice came from inside, "Come in."
Click, the door opened, and he nodded slightly in greeting, very respectfully, "Director, Jiang Qiu and Miss are here."
As Jiang Qiu followed Jiang Qiao into the office, her gaze was instantly drawn to the tall figure in a suit by the window. The man was backlit, with a layer of gold trim on the edge of his black top hat. A sunflower stem was firmly gripping his shoulder, also facing the sun, exuding an approachable aura.
*Thump!* Jiang Qiao slumped onto the sofa, her bottom bouncing slightly. She crossed her legs and exclaimed, "Dad, he's the Jiang Qiu who ate Sister Zhao Nan's first [Awakening Pill] yesterday! Not only did he steal the exclusive supply channel you gave me, but even after I begged him, he still wouldn't agree to cultivate a [Golden Spirit Cage] within a month!"
"You forgot again? Use your job title during work hours." The figure in the suit turned around unhurriedly, revealing himself to be a clothes rack. The sunflower that had been perched on his shoulder now showed its face, sporting a large, gossipy mouth. Little Leaf stood with her hands on her hips. "Remember not to call him 'Dad' every time, call him Director Jiang!"
"I know, Director Jiang," Jiang Qiao picked up an apple from the fruit basket, took a big bite, leaving clear teeth marks, "Stop with the useless talk. If you don't help me get the [Awakening Pill] to awaken my physique, your daughter will only be able to live an ordinary life and won't be able to inherit the family business."
"Oh, you," the big-mouthed sunflower sighed, then jumped off the clothes rack with a thud, using its stem as legs, and flipped onto the desk, its large face—only a mouth and no eyes—facing her.
"You're the intern Jiang Qiu? I heard you cultivated a superior formula for the [Golden Spirit Cage] with rare characteristic paths, and last night you also awakened the rare physique [Daily Accumulation of Gold]. You're truly a remarkable talent."
Is this the rumored Director Jiang in charge of logistics?
Jiang Qiu blinked, surprised, but smiled modestly, "You flatter me, I was just lucky, it was just a fluke."
"Haha, in the path of a spirit plant master, luck is part of strength," Director Jiang laughed heartily, his leaves stretching out and patting his shoulder. "Don't be nervous, although my daughter is a bit arrogant and willful, you'll find she's not a bad person after spending more time with her..."
"Hey!" Jiang Qiao scolded, "Why are you talking about all this? Let's talk about the special supply of the [Golden Spirit Cage]! Buy the formula he has, let me cultivate the qualified fruits myself, and then we can reliably supply Sister Zhao Nan with them for alchemy. That way, we won't have to worry about not having a chance to awaken before the assessment!"
"Tsk, what are you shouting for, a young lady like you?" Director Jiang gave her a broad smile, then turned back. "Hehe, young man, don't worry. I didn't call you here to force you to do anything. Since you have the ability to develop a suitable formula, that is your own achievement."
Despite saying that, Jiang Qiu did not relax. With no one backing her, the good things she possessed were destined to be coveted, especially since she had a conflict with the exclusive supply agreement she had signed with the other party, which had already created a rift between them.
Sure enough, the other party spoke calmly again, "However, since you live alone in the shantytown, there are ultimately limitations to cultivating the rare spirit species [Golden Spirit Cage]. Why not consider transferring the formula to my daughter?"
