"I had workers on that production line working overtime in round-the-clock shifts. We contacted multiple suppliers to purchase equipment and finally completed the modifications yesterday. I just submitted the application for inspection today, so it shouldn’t be long before we can start mass production."

"You don’t have to explain all that."

Shen Yun waved a hand dismissively.

"What’s the point of just talking? Take President Lin to see it!"

"Ah? Yes, of course!"

Xiaoli’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly led Lin Shen and Shen Yun toward the far end of the production area.

Unlike the surrounding assembly lines, which were currently in operation, one of the small to medium-sized workshops appeared to be idle.

It covered an area of about 400 square meters and was filled with all sorts of brand-new instruments and equipment.

"This is the pet food production line after we completed the modifications."

Xiaoli called over a man who was with them and began the introduction.

"This is the manager of this workshop, Wang Xin. Wang Xin, why don’t you give President Lin and President Shen a tour?"

"Of course."

Compared to Xiaoli’s glib and oily manner, Wang Xin—perhaps because he was young and new to the workforce—had an attitude that was poised and professional.

He even proactively offered a detailed self-introduction with a smile, clearly wanting to showcase his abilities for President Shen.

"President Shen, President Lin, hello. My name is Wang Xin. I’m a graduate of Jiangnan University’s food processing program with a master’s degree. My thesis was on ’The Digital Logic of Pet Food Production Lines.’ I’ll be the one to explain the roles of these machines and equipment in our production line."

"First up is this superfine pulverizer. For pet food that requires high digestibility, it can grind raw materials to over 200 mesh, which enhances the fineness of the texture."

"This is a twin-shaft paddle mixer. By rotating the paddles in both forward and reverse, it evenly blends the pulverized grains, meat meal, vitamins, minerals, and other raw materials. The mixing uniformity can reach over 95%, which prevents an uneven distribution of nutrients."

"Next is this one..."

Following Wang Xin’s explanations and tour, Lin Shen gained a solid understanding of the pet food production line’s overall structure.

The equipment seemed numerous and the machinery complex, but in reality, the process boiled down to just three steps.

First, processing the raw materials using equipment like pulverizers and mixers.

Second, producing the pet food.

Third, the subsequent drying, cooling, and packaging.

The steps were remarkably simple.

Wang Xin’s explanation was particularly clear, making it obvious he had been involved in the entire modification process from start to finish.

He could even point out the specific differences between the old and new setups, as well as which new equipment and instruments had been purchased.

This made Lin Shen nod frequently in satisfaction, giving him a whole new appreciation for Wang Xin’s capabilities.

’A hands-on, practical talent!’

’As expected of a top student from a nationally ranked A++ food processing program. The guy’s definitely got the goods!’

"You see, if this line were put into operation, the hourly output would be approximately one to three tons."

At the end of the tour, Wang Xin used his office computer to show Lin Shen and Shen Yun a 3D animation of the entire production line in operation, and also provided the production efficiency as predicted by a large-scale model.

"Very good."

Lin Shen couldn’t help but praise him, then glanced at Shen Yun beside him and teased.

"Someone this capable, you’d better remember to give him a raise."

"Of course."

Shen Yun was also quite impressed with Wang Xin.

"Wang, you’ve worked hard. If there are no issues with this production line, we may have you take charge of a few more workshops later on. At that time, we can also look at a promotion for you."

"It was no trouble at all! Thank you for the recognition, President Shen!"

While thanking Shen Yun, Wang Xin didn’t forget Lin Shen, who had put in a good word for him. He gave Lin Shen a deep bow, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Thank you for your praise, President Lin! I’ll work even harder!"

"Mm."

A thought suddenly occurred to Lin Shen, and he asked casually.

"By the way, you should have some samples of the pet food that was produced, right?"

"We do."

Wang Xin quickly opened a drawer in his office and took out a black trash bag.

As he untied it, a rich aroma wafted out.

The trash bag was full of pet food, and the kibble pieces looked plump and well-formed.

"President Shen, President Lin, since the line hasn’t officially started production, the packaging hasn’t been designed yet. We had to use a trash bag to hold it for the time being... This is some of the pet food we produced."

Wang Xin couldn’t help but praise.

"To be honest, this pet food formula is absolutely incredible!"

"Based on the test results, compared to other common pet foods in the same price range, its overall digestibility and absorption rates are significantly improved. Even the nutrient retention rate is very high, and the palatability is especially good."

"I even took some home for my own cat to try, and he absolutely loves it."

"You gave it to your own cat?"

Lin Shen, who was pinching a piece of the kibble to test its hardness, looked up in surprise. This made Wang Xin flash a confident smile. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Of course! If we don’t even dare to feed our own cats the food we produce, how can we sell it to our customers?"

"True enough."

Lin Shen gave Wang Xin a thumbs-up, while Shen Yun covered her mouth with her hand and teased.

"President Lin, the fact that Wang is willing to feed this to his own cat shows how much he trusts the formula you provided."

"This pet food formula is your patent, President Lin?"

Wang Xin froze, his expression turning to one of excitement as he looked at Lin Shen and made a request.

"President Lin, could you introduce me to the person who designed this formula? I’d love to discuss it with them. I might even be able to write a paper about it!"

"An introduction?"

A knowing smile touched the corners of Shen Yun’s lips.
