Just after Yun Ran comforted herself, the sound of skin tearing echoed one after another.
She poured out all the pills from the three bottles and swallowed them in one gulp.
It was unclear if these pills could alleviate the pain of the gravity pressure on the flesh, but the sound of skin tearing suddenly disappeared.
Yun Ran then adjusted for a while longer, and the previous feeling of difficult breathing also eased considerably.
In the past, Yun Ran felt that time flew by quickly, but now, she thought it passed too slowly, like every second was a year.
Since she was already here, and having spent 5 million on this place, she felt it would be a loss if she didn’t accomplish something more.
Subsequently, Yun Ran took out the treasure dug up by the Little Paperman from the deep pit.
This place not only suited for seclusion but also for artifact refining and pill making.
As for the immobile Ginsengfruit, Yun Ran had long forgotten about it.
After all, the Ginsengfruit’s body wouldn’t be crushed or starved, so there was nothing to worry about.
While Yun Ran was in seclusion, at the same time, the minister of logistics she had steadily appointed to build the Qingfeng Temple directly gathered people to start construction.
With the help of the Little Papermen, their construction period could be greatly shortened, and the saved money would all be his. Naturally, he didn’t want to delay even a minute.
The piece of land given by the Wang Family had actually been watched by many before.
Located 300 kilometers away from Hai City, with beautiful scenery and excellent feng shui, it was not far from a nature reserve.
Only the Wang Family, one of the Capital City’s Four Great Families, could have held onto it. Had it been any slightly weaker family, the ownership would have changed hands countless times.
Now, the sudden construction, whether among the aristocratic families from Hai City or those from the Capital City, aroused some interest.
"Have you figured out which family contracted this project?"
"No, but it’s definitely not the Wang Family or any company under them, nor is it any of the other three Great Families in the Capital City."
"Keep an eye on it! This is a big cake, and getting on the Wang Family’s good side cannot mean a monopoly!"
Similar conversations were happening in many places.
But unfortunately, the other three Great Families in the Capital City were very clear about their boundaries and weren’t inclined to get involved.
Others who tried to probe were blocked by the logistics minister.
Joking aside, this was a project Yun Ran had entrusted him with; every penny earned should be his, and he’s notorious for being stingy.
Watching the busy Little Papermen, who are worth a hundred laborers each, the logistics minister couldn’t stop smiling.
He was too fond of this free labor.
"You are truly amazing. I’ll surely sing your praises to your master later on. Your Qingfeng Temple will definitely be the most magnificent in the future."
"Keep it up! You are the best. I’ll record videos of you, and who wouldn’t admire your master then."
The logistics minister spared no effort in praising the Little Papermen with kind words, spurring them to work even more enthusiastically.
They were indeed the best, striving to bring glory to their master so that everyone would admire them and their master!
By the end of the day, the swindled Little Papermen were working in full swing and completed the foundation excavation in just one day.
This was work that used to take the logistics department at least two months to finish.
Yet, it was accomplished by free labor.
As a result, not only the logistics minister but even the people he urgently called in were as if their meridians were suddenly cleared.
They began to fervently praise the Little Papermen and their master, Yun Ran.
The outcome of this was that the pavilion, expected to take a month to build, was completed in half a day, and it was done with outstanding quality.
Their fast pace also meant that the materials delivered were quickly used up.
Seeing the work was about to halt due to lack of materials.
The logistics minister immediately called the relevant departments, urging them to deliver supplies.
"I warn you all, I need the materials by tonight... What others need is none of my business... If you waste my time, I’ll have to delay your budget needs next year too!"
Through such threats and leveraging power.
The logistics minister successfully redirected all materials needed for other projects to their own.
By nightfall, seeing the stream of delivery trucks, he gave a satisfied smile.
After this maneuver, he had thought of even more ways to increase revenue and cut costs.
Other mystical sects or sects seeing how diligent he was, could directly hire him for any infrastructure development or renovation and expansion projects.
The logistics minister rubbed his chin, eyeing the tireless Little Papermen.
This is business to be had, and he had to figure out how to bring Yun Ran on board.
This way, projects could be completed quickly and efficiently; such a win surely meant profit.
What more, who would dare say their logistics department only chased fines, and was perennially stingy?
Xie Xuzhi also returned to the Capital City at this time.
Though it had not been formally announced, he was the Young Master Xie, soon to officially assume the top position, and this news had already spread throughout the Special Administration Bureau. For more chapters visit novel{f}ire.net
A week later, besides a few unscrupulous individuals who were cleaned out, those previously prancing around audaciously were all subdued.
After sorting these matters out, Xie Xuzhi was formally announced as the head of the Special Administration Bureau.
At the same time, word that he was the Young Master Xie spread across the entire mystical sect circle and the various aristocratic families’ circles.
The logistics minister, recalling the rumors that Yun Ran was Xie Xuzhi’s confidante, suddenly shrank his neck.
Inside, he was torn, unsure if he should earn money from Yun Ran.
Ultimately, he steeled his resolve, thinking even if Yun Ran is Director Xie’s confidante, so what, this was a business Yun Ran proactively brought to him.
Even Director Xie couldn’t possibly demand he give up his earnings.
Subsequently, the logistics minister acted particularly low-key, to avoid drawing too much attention.
Half a month later, the new Qingfeng Temple’s initial structure was essentially complete, and Gu Yuan even made a special visit to see it.
"Tsk tsk tsk, my Ranran sister is truly amazing. Whatever she decides to do gets done, and the efficiency is incredible."
Saying this, he patted the logistics minister on the shoulder: "My Ranran sister definitely found the right person in you."
Being shrewd individuals, the logistics minister immediately understood.
This was an indication that the transaction between him and Yun Ran, whether from Director Xie or Gu Chu in front of him, wouldn’t be intervened with.
The logistics minister, who had been on tenterhooks for half a month, was suddenly able to relax.
"Of course, the moment I met Yun Ran, I knew we hit it off well, and I have to seriously handle her matters!"
