Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 825 - 4: Staffing Issues

Belmont cleared his throat and assumed the old aristocratic demeanor.But Chen Wen quickly interrupted him: "Stop pretending, how much did we make this time?"

Saying this, Chen Wen’s eyes sparkled.

Belmont helplessly shook his head and said, "Not much, you were too famous before, resulting in your... relatively low earnings, and as I told you before, we didn’t earn anything like honorary titles."

Hearing this, Chen Wen was a bit disappointed.

After communicating with Zhao Genius before, he understood what he lacked now.

But this time there was no gain.

Belmont paused for a moment and said, "But you don’t need to be too disheartened. Overall, since our investment was quite large, the return is decent, you have roughly two to three million US Dollars."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen’s eyes lit up again with joy.

Jiang Xue, standing beside, was somewhat confused while listening.

What were they discussing?

Why did they suddenly start talking about US Dollars?

And in the range of two to three million?

Chen Wen sighed, "Ah, I knew it."

At this point, he looked at Lv Guocheng and casually asked, "What about Mr. Lv? Did you bet on me?"

Lv Guocheng calmly glanced at Chen Wen and said, "I did, but not much, twenty to thirty thousand US Dollars."

Hearing this, Chen Wen couldn’t help but laugh, "Mr. Lv, that’s your problem, why did you only bet such a little amount? Don’t you trust me?"

Listening to Chen Wen’s joking words.

Lv Guocheng calmly said, "I do trust you, but I placed heavy bets on Dennis and Fred, well, didn’t earn much, just over ten million."

A slight pause, Lv Guocheng continued, "US Dollars."

This time Chen Wen and Belmont’s faces were frozen.

The two seemed to have their joints knocked loose by this sentence, Chen Wen shivered and said, "Bei, you didn’t just bet on me, did you?"

Belmont sighed, "Otherwise? I haven’t even heard of the others, how could I trust them?"

Chen Wen painfully covered his head.

The most painful thing in the world is to earn less than others on the same matter.

And what’s more painful, is that the "other" is your good brother.

However, Chen Wen quickly adjusted.

He pulled Belmont aside and gave a few instructions: "Next time when betting, if it’s team survival, I suggest you place heavy bets on my teammates too!"

Belmont wasn’t quite familiar with this aspect, but he nodded slightly, indicating his understanding.

But at this time, Lv Guocheng kindly reminded, "I suggest you still bet on yourself, after all, many people suffered badly betting on your teammates this time, next time they won’t dive in so easily."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen thought for a while and ultimately nodded.

Hmm, better listen to old Lv.

This guy is wise and experienced, it’s safer to heed his advice.

Having finished speaking with Belmont.

Chen Wen looked at Jiang Xue.

After a pause, Chen Wen said, "Mr. Jiang, the letter of employment I gave you earlier is still effective. If I’m not around, you have full control over the island, and the conditions I mentioned before still stand."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue was deeply moved.

She nodded and said, "Okay, but I still have to manage the zoo over there, time-wise..."

"Time isn’t an issue."

Chen Wen said calmly, "I have a collaboration with Bei, he can arrange a small private jet for you, which is quite safe, and if you prefer traveling by ship, there’s a cruise."

Listening to this extremely extravagant statement, Jiang Xue had nothing much to say.

"The last thing is about the staff."

Chen Wen groaned, "This is the thing I’m most worried about; I believe in using trustworthy people, so you have to be cautious in selecting people, choose those who are trustworthy."

Lv Guocheng, standing by, nodded: "Yes, in this aspect, you have to decide for yourself, and also have Mr. Jiang help you observe. Over time, you can see people’s true capabilities, and know who are the most suitable for your team."

"Besides, pay attention to the welfare too, your zoo is isolated overseas, though it has internet, it’s still relatively lonely and far from the crowd, so you must appropriately improve the benefits."

That makes sense.

Chen Wen nodded and said, "I also plan to hire at salaries higher than the market rate to attract some truly talented and trustworthy staff."

While Chen Wen and Lv Guocheng were discussing.

Jiang Xue hesitated, stammering a bit, as if wanting to say something.

Noticing her unease, Chen Wen asked.

This time, Jiang Xue said, "Actually, if you want to recruit employees, I have some people who used to work at the animal park..."

Hearing this, Chen Wen was taken aback.

Good heavens, he almost forgot about this!

Don’t be fooled by Jiang Xue’s animal park looking ordinary, most of her staff are genuine college graduates, and all in a relevant field.

During recruitment, Jiang Xue even adopts a civil service exam-like approach.

Written test, interview, political evaluation, and health check, not missing a beat.

Those chosen by Jiang Xue are undoubtedly talents, and they have certain ethical guarantees, at least they aren’t criminals.

Chen Wen immediately said, "That’s fine, if your previous employees are willing to come over, they can skip the professional knowledge assessment."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue nodded, already having a few names in mind.

She said to Chen Wen, "Okay, I will notify some people, but there’s no need to waive the professional knowledge assessment. I must check if they’ve wasted their talents over time."

Seeing Jiang Xue’s serious expression, Chen Wen smiled and said, "In that case, I’ll entrust Mr. Jiang with the recruiting process. After you’ve narrowed down a few suitable candidates, we can interview them together."

Jiang Xue nodded, indicating she would select suitable candidates for the interview in the coming days.

Next, Chen Wen said cheerfully, "Now, there’s not much else to do. In the coming days, I will bring the animals over to check out this place. The animals we’ve tamed this time can move to the island today."

Saying this, Chen Wen looked at Belmont: "Regarding the high-end servants you mentioned last time, I’m planning to hire a few. Can you help me contact that organization?"

Belmont nodded, handing over a business card to Chen Wen, indicating he should contact the person listed.

After discussing the formal matters, Chen Wen casually chatted with everyone about other topics.

...

After a while, Chen Wen planned to bring the tamed animals and the Crested Hawk to the animal enclosure.

To see if they are satisfied.

Chen Wen could handle this task himself.

When reaching outside the animal enclosure, the animals had already woken up.

During long-distance transport, to ensure the animals aren’t disturbed, Chen Wen had to agree to some anesthetics to allow some animals to sleep through the journey.

Upon Chen Wen’s arrival, the bay crocodile seemed okay with the surroundings.

It leisurely crawled around on the grass, seemingly searching for a mud hole.

Seeing Chen Wen approach, the bay crocodile quickly crawled towards him.

The staff nearby was startled and was about to try to stop it, but Chen Wen waved his hand, indicating not to worry.

After patting the bay crocodile on the head, it immediately displayed an expression similar to Dahuang.

The staff watching was amazed.
