The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Leng Yuan returned very late. He didn’t knock, instead hopping over the wall and landing in the courtyard before tiptoeing into the room.

Gu Jiaojiao was asleep and wasn’t woken up.

He kissed Gu Jiaojiao’s forehead, took off his clothes, and slipped under the covers. Once he had warmed up, he pulled her into his arms.

The next morning, Leng Yuan went to the Team Leader’s house.

Chen Beiguo was a little surprised to see him.

”What brings you here?”

The Team Leader had also just gotten out of bed and hadn’t had breakfast yet.

Leng Yuan nodded.

Chen Beiguo immediately said, ”Follow me to the main hall.”

The two of them entered the room. Chen Beiguo gestured for Leng Yuan to sit, and the Team Leader’s wife brought in two glasses of water before leaving to look after their child.

”So, what is it?”

”The matter of the breeding boars is settled. This afternoon, you can take some men to the County Town to bring them back. There are twelve in total.”

”Excellent, excellent! Leng Yuan, I’ll make sure you get top credit for this.”

There was a good reason Chen Beiguo had become Team Leader at such a young age and earned the trust of the entire Qingshan Team.

He was strict but fair, rewarding those who contributed and punishing those who made mistakes. It was because of this leadership style that morale throughout the Qingshan Team was so high.

He didn’t play favorites or abuse his position for personal gain; his only focus was on the team’s development.

He had also done his homework recently.

He knew that these Great White pigs were a foreign breed. They were easy to raise and matured quickly, typically reaching over two hundred and twenty pounds in about six months.

It was just that these Great White pigs hadn’t been raised on a large scale yet; they were only being tested in a few pilot locations.

Although he had agreed to raise black pigs for the other teams, with these twelve white boars, he could still answer to his own people, even if the other teams got to keep the black pigs.

Otherwise, he dreaded to think of the consequences.

Besides, he believed that for Leng Yuan to have made such a suggestion, he must have had a solid plan in mind.

Until now, he still hadn’t understood Leng Yuan’s thinking.

Leng Yuan had explained it before, but Chen Beiguo couldn’t grasp it. Now that they had the Great White boars, it was much simpler to explain.

”Team Leader, the whole pig situation is actually quite simple.”

”Our ordinary black pigs take seven to nine months before they’re ready to breed. Their gestation period is about 110 days—just over three months. All told, the process takes about ten months.”

”The sows we were allocated have already been raised for a few months. Normally, they can give birth to their first litters in July. By August, when we return the sows, the piglets will have grown a fair bit and be easier to raise.”

”Although we’ve used a lot of feed on them, those eighty pigs are all sows, and we ended up with almost all the sows that were distributed this time.”

”We don’t need all eighty sows to farrow. Even if we only count on sixty of them, the Qingshan Team will have more than four hundred pigs in the second half of the year—and they’ll carry the Great White genes.”

”Trading the feed for eighty pigs for more than four hundred...”

Leng Yuan didn’t need to finish. Chen Beiguo slapped his thigh in excitement. ”That’s a sure thing!”

The feed for eighty pigs was a lot, but compared to more than four hundred new pigs, it was a drop in the bucket.

Add the Great White genes to the mix, and Chen Beiguo could already picture how spectacular the Qingshan Team’s operation would become.

Just think, a total of three hundred pigs had been distributed among all the teams, but by the end of the year, his team alone would have at least four hundred.

’With a setup like this, who’d be stupid enough to fight with those fools over the chance to raise pigs?’

’Good thing I insisted on signing that contract. Even if those people change their minds later, they’ve lost their chance.’
