Chapter 208 - 207: Jinrong’s Face Full of Troubles
Lian Gui struggled with how he could have asked such a nonsensical question, yet Qi Younian provided a brisk affirmative answer, "Yes, when the cattle farm was initially set up, it was Ye Zi and Sixth Master Rong who brought it up. Sixth Master Rong thought it was a good idea, so taking advantage of the convenience at hand, he let Ye Zi start preparing it right away." Lian Gui and Anshun’s Household’s eyes widened in an instant; this meant that not only was it Miss Ye’s suggestion, but she was also the one who single-handedly organized it. Organizing an enterprise and merely taking over the management of one are entirely different matters.
Could this be possible?
"That," Lian Gui said with some difficulty, "Lady Qi is a young woman, how could she possibly raise livestock? You must be joking, old sir."
Qi Younian laughed, his smile containing undeniable pride, "Why would there be any need for a joke? Organizing the cattle farm, with so many cows, naturally doesn’t depend on her alone to feed them one by one. Just like Ye Zi said, ’It’s all about making good use of people.’ It might be very difficult for others, but for Ye Zi, it’s much simpler. She just needs to arrange what needs to be done and let those who do the work follow the procedures."
Uh, Lian Gui was stunned; all of them, big or small, came from managerial backgrounds. He knew it was said like that, and that was the reasoning, but it was by no means simple to do.
Seeing Lian Gui in a daze, Qi Younian also thought that Miss Ye, who held a position in the Duke’s Mansion, certainly wouldn’t do manual labor herself, so it was understandable that the people from the Duke’s Mansion were astonished.
He said to Lian Gui with a smile, "There’s nothing surprising about this. People don’t know how much they can do until they’re pushed to a certain extent. People are like this; when they’re out of options and need to fill their bellies, they’ll think of ways to make money and end up doing many things."
