A month passed in the blink of an eye, and it was mid-October.

Over the past month, all four hilltops have been cleared, and preparations are underway to plant saplings.

Shen Xuening instructed Yuan Lan to arrange for people to dig earthen pits on the mountain, pour well water into the pits to keep the seedlings moist, and then transport some fertilizer from the fertilizer factory to the pits. After half a month, the seedlings could be planted.

Yuan Lan followed Shen Xuening's instructions completely, immediately arranging for people to dig pits, put in fertilizer, and then build a fence around the mountain.

Further in, you'll enter deep mountains, where large wild animals roam and the vegetation is lush. You could easily get lost, so be sure to take proper precautions.

The materials were already delivered, so we just need to call the workers to start construction now.

Yuan Lan felt that since Shen Xuening trusted her so much, she had to do things well. Therefore, she did everything herself and did things to the best of her ability, working very hard.

Shen Dong would come here to supervise the construction from time to time, and every time he saw Yuan Lan working, he would tell Shen Xuening what he saw. Therefore, Shen Xuening really trusted Yuan Lan.

Shen Baohong sometimes comes to film, and posts the construction progress in the videos so that fans can stay informed, which is also a way to advertise.

The work on this side of the hill was proceeding smoothly and efficiently, and the same was true in other areas.

The goose house has been built after more than a month of construction. The necessary machinery, equipment, and feed have all been prepared. Now we are just waiting for the goslings to arrive.

Zhang Shan called Shen Xuening to report the situation in the goose shed.

Shen Xuening told Zhang Shan to wait, she would be right back, and they would buy goslings when she returned.

The goslings were in her spatial dimension, and no one but her could take them out, so she had to come back. Luckily, the hilltop had been cleared, so she could take some out and plant them.

Zhang Shan indicated that he understood.

Besides the hilltop and goose shed, the kindergarten has also been fully built, and the enrollment process is almost complete. We're just waiting for the school to open next year. However, Shen Xuening still wants to check it out, otherwise she won't feel at ease.

Shen Xuening returned two days later and immediately got busy.

First, we brought back the goslings, then the fruit tree saplings, and finally we went to the kindergarten to check on things...

There are more than two thousand goslings in the space. The mother goose lays one egg every day. After laying a dozen or so, she starts incubating them. After hatching, they grow quickly and can lay eggs again soon. This cycle continues, and there are already more than two thousand goslings.

Shen Xuening kept the first pair of geese in her space, and took out the others. She continued to raise the smaller ones, and used the larger ones for breeding.

In the real world, geese grow much slower, but still much faster than normal geese, about twice as fast. This saves a lot of time and makes them more economically viable to raise.

There are currently five employees in the goose house. One is Zhang Shan, who is in charge of the entire goose house. The other two employees are responsible for taking care of the geese. One is responsible for preparing the geese's food, and the other is responsible for purchasing. As long as they cooperate with each other, the goose house can operate smoothly.

Shen Xuening held a brief meeting with the group, after which everyone went about their own business.

After wandering around the goose shed, Shen Xuening went up the hill.

The once overgrown forest has now been cleared out, and the earthen mounds are evenly distributed among them, which looks quite nice.

Upon seeing Shen Xuening, Yuan Lan quickly approached her: "President Shen, you're back?"

Shen Xuening looked at Yuan Lan and nodded: "Yes, thank you for your hard work during this time, and thank you everyone for your hard work as well."

Yuan Lan shook her head: "It's what I should do, it's not hard work at all."

Shen Xuening said, "In a little while, please inform everyone that I have reserved a table of food for everyone in a private room in the cafeteria. This is to thank everyone for their hard work during this period."

Yuan Lan was very happy: "Thank you, President Shen."

Shen Xuening waved her hand: "We'll start planting saplings tomorrow, so everyone will have to work hard again. We'll also provide lunch for the sapling planting tomorrow, so please tell everyone."

Yuan Lan nodded and replied, "Understood, President Shen."

There are four people taking care of the orchard, each responsible for one hilltop. A small house has been built here, containing all the tools needed to care for the orchard. You can take them from the small house if you need them.

Besides the small house, there are also four doghouses, which are built in the style of the small house. Starting tomorrow, four sheepdogs will come to this orchard to guard it.

Shen Xuening went to check out the doghouse. There was no need to worry about wind or rain. It was like a small villa, and it was quite well-built. It should be very comfortable to live in.

Yuan Lan asked, "President Shen, do you need our help to transport the fruit seedlings?"

Shen Xuening waved her hand: "No need, I'll go by myself. If you go, I'm afraid they'll mess with you."

Yuan Lan nodded: "Then we'll wait for President Shen here."

"Okay." Shen Xuening turned and walked down the mountain.

An asphalt road has been built from the foot of the mountain to the entrance, and various flowers are being planted on both sides of the road. Once the flowers are planted, a sidewalk will be built in the orchard. This sidewalk will be paved with stone slabs, which will give it a more leisurely strolling feel.

The stone slabs have been bought and are piled up at the foot of the mountain; everything is ready.

As Shen Xuening walked and looked around, she became increasingly satisfied with Yuan Lan.

……

On the way, a woman called out to Shen Xuening: "President Shen, President Shen..."

Shen Xuening stopped in her tracks: "Auntie, is there something you need?"

"I want to ask you something," the woman said nervously. "Do you have time? Can you listen to me?"

Shen Xuening nodded and said patiently, "Go ahead."

The woman clasped her hands together and asked, "I have a three-year-old child at home. Can I send him to kindergarten?"

Shen Xuening asked in confusion, "Isn't kindergarten already accepting applications? Didn't you go and register?"

The woman said helplessly, "I went to register, but they said my child doesn't meet the requirements and can't register here."

Shen Xuening asked, "To attend kindergarten, children need to be from this village, the children of employees, or children from nearby villages. Which of these conditions doesn't apply to you?"

The woman answered softly, "I have a stall on Yongle Street."

Shen Xuening thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the kindergarten right away. Why don't you come with me? Let's discuss it together and see if we can get your child enrolled. If it really doesn't work, you can send your child to the kindergarten attached to the primary school. That's the same thing."

The woman nodded: "Okay."

The two went to kindergarten together.

In the office, Yuan Qing finished her work and was about to leave when she unexpectedly saw Shen Xuening as soon as she stood up. She immediately smiled and exclaimed with some surprise, "President Shen, you're back?"

Shen Xuening looked at him: "Is the enrollment all done?"

Yuan Qing immediately handed a stack of documents to Shen Xuening: "It's finished. Here's the list. Do you want to take a look?"

Shen Xuening took the list and looked at the numbers: "There are actually two hundred and five students."

Yun Qing smiled and said, "Yes, all the kids from around here have come to register here, and some of the younger employees will also be bringing their children over next year, so that's about it."

Shen Xuening was genuinely surprised. She thought there would be a hundred or so at most, but there were actually more than two hundred: "Not bad, not bad."

The woman then asked, "Can my child register?"

Yuan Qing completely ignored the woman, only realizing there was another person when she spoke: "Who are you?"

Shen Xuening gave an explanation.

Yuan Qing still refused: "Sister, I'm really sorry, you don't meet the enrollment requirements. If everyone were like you, our kindergarten would be overcrowded and we wouldn't be able to teach at all."

The woman immediately looked at Shen Xuening, her eyes full of pleading.

Shen Xuening said to the woman, "You should take your child to the kindergarten attached to the primary school. They really can't accept any more children here, there are too many."

The woman said, "Since we already have so many, one more won't make a difference. My child is very well-behaved. If it weren't for my stall in Yongle making it convenient for me to pick him up and drop him off, I wouldn't have come to ask you for help."

Yuan Qing asked, "You have to run a business and pick up your children, what about your family?"

The woman pleaded urgently, "I'm divorced. I left with nothing but my child. I'm begging you, otherwise I won't be able to do my business in peace. If I can't do business, I won't have any income, and I won't be able to support my child."

Yuan Qing's eyes showed more sympathy, and her heart wavered.

Shen Xuening hesitated for a moment: "Fine, you've had such a hard time, I'll make an exception for you this time. After you register, don't tell anyone, or it will be difficult to handle later."

The woman gratefully replied, "Yes, yes, thank you very much."

Shen Xuening said to Yuan Qing, "Let's register her child."

"Okay." Yuan Qing operated the computer and registered the woman's child. The woman thanked him profusely and left.

Shen Xuening continued reviewing the materials; after accumulating them for a month, it was time to take a good look at them.

……

The next day at noon, Shen Xuening brought back the fruit tree seedlings. There were four kinds of fruit tree seedlings in total, and she brought back 1,000 seedlings of each kind. She planted them first, and if she didn't have enough, she would go and bring back more.

With the saplings in hand, everyone got busy again.

Dig up the pit, bury the fruit tree seedling roots deep inside, fill the pit with soil, tamp it down with your feet, and then water it with well water.

The well water was pumped up the mountain, which made it more convenient to use and eliminated the need for manual transportation, which would have been too strenuous.

Everyone worked together and planted the fruit tree saplings one by one.

Shen Xuening planted several of each type of fruit tree as examples.

Shen Baohong filmed her planting process and the fruit tree seedlings, and will upload them online tomorrow. Fans will come to see the fruit trees planted by Shen Xuening. Everything can be marketed. As long as it is used properly, he has become smarter now, and very smart at that.

Shen Xuening strongly supported his actions because that was what she thought too.

Shen Baohong said, "It must take several years for these fruit tree saplings to grow to full size, right?"

Shen Xuening estimated, "It should take one or two years. If we water and fertilize it frequently, it might grow faster."

Shen Baohong said, "I will keep an eye on Yuan Lan."

Shen Xuening chuckled: "Why do you care about these things?"

Shen Baohong said, "How can I not care? After you go to City A, I'll have to keep an eye on this place for you. It will be exactly the same when you come back."

Shen Xuening said with satisfaction, "He's a sensible CEO."

"Stop making fun of me." Shen Baohong smiled a little embarrassedly. "You're my pillar of support; only when you're well can I be well."

Shen Xuening praised, "You have foresight. If anything happens at home in the future, feel free to report to me anytime."

Shen Baohong gave an "OK" sign: "No problem."

……

After settling things at home, Shen Xuening returned to City A to begin dealing with the sales of her skincare products.

The skincare products were initially planned to be sold online, and an official pre-sale method was adopted. At this time, more than 50,000 sets had already been pre-sold online.

Yes, more than 50,000 sets, that's quite a good number.

When Qin Dandan and the others heard the news, they were extremely excited. This was an affirmation of their hard work and their efforts, the greatest praise for them, and a source of great satisfaction.

Shen Xuening arrived at the factory and spoke to Qin Dandan alone: ​​"Dandan, aren't you excited?"

Qin Dandan replied without hesitation, "Of course I'm excited. After working for so many years, this is the first time I've felt such a strong sense of accomplishment. Really, I've been so happy these past few days."

Shen Xuening said happily, "On the day the product officially goes on sale, I'll treat everyone to a big meal."

Qin Dandan smiled and said, "President Shen is so generous, and so is your wife."

Shen Xuening took the computer and refreshed the sales data again. This time, the data changed from over 50,000 to over 60,000. Qin Dandan was stunned by this data: "Sister-in-law, am I seeing things?"

Shen Xuening said, "No, it's just over 60,000. And that's just the pre-sale price. It's so beautiful."

Qin Dandan said expectantly, "I wonder how many will be sold in the end."

Shen Xuening said, "I think it should be no less than 100,000."

Qin Dandan said, "Our skincare products sell for five thousand yuan a set, how much would one hundred thousand sets cost? That's too much..."

Shen Xuening calmly said, "Don't be surprised, don't be astonished. This is just the beginning. After everyone tries it out and sees the effects, it will be improved."

Qin Dandan nodded repeatedly: "Yes."

Qin's mother called Shen Xuening: "Xuening, Mom needs to talk to you about something."

Shen Xuening said, "Mom, you go ahead."

To everyone's surprise, Qin's mother said, "I heard your skincare products have started selling? Could you sell me a thousand sets? I'll pay whatever price you ask, how about it?"

Shen Xuening agreed without hesitation. People in Qin's mother's circle are not short of money. If she could open up their channel, she would make even more money: "Okay, I'll put it on my mom's tab. We'll deliver it to your door directly."

Qin's mother replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Shen Xuening quickly recorded the order information and sent it to the sales department for them to prepare the goods.

The sales department replied with an "OK" message, and then the order fulfillment process began.

The skincare products are already packaged and ready to be sold at any time. The pre-sale is to generate buzz, sell more skincare products, and maximize profits.

Not long after, Zhang Qianwen called Shen Xuening again: "Xuening, I saw on your official website that your skincare products are now on sale?"

Shen Xuening asked jokingly, "Yeah, do you want to give it a try?"

Zhang Qianwen said playfully, "I not only want to try it out, but I also want to buy a batch of goods. Can you deliver them?"
