1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 209 is really encouraging!
In the office, upon hearing that they were going to offer encouragement, Huang Jianyuan, Zhang Lerong, and Li Zaixing all smiled and agreed.

"Of course, Director Chen is a great contributor. It wasn't easy. After a year of losses, we're finally seeing a return on our investment."

"Haha, Lao Li, it's not just about making money back. If we can really produce 800,000 to 900,000 catties of vegetables this time, we might even break even on our initial investment!"

"It's only been a little over a month! Director Chen is simply a god!"

"And we can't forget our General Manager Xu, it was he who strongly urged Director Chen to come!"

Listening to the three people's exaggerated praise, Xu Wenxiang remained calm and smiled, "Encouragement isn't just about words; it's about delivering tangible results."

Li Zaixing was taken aback: "President Xu, you didn't say this beforehand!"

"Old Li!" Huang Jianyuan patted Li Zaixing on the shoulder: "That's where you went wrong."

Li Zaixing asked in surprise, "You've prepared?"

Huang Jianyuan said, "I bought a set of mahogany coffee table. It will be difficult for Director Chen to even have a sip of tea in his office. He should like it."

Zhang Lerong: "Oh, Mr. Huang, what a coincidence! I had someone bring me a box of the finest Da Hong Pao tea."

Li Zaixing stared blankly at the two of them, then complained, "Well, you two kept this from me for so long!"

Huang Jianyuan laughed and said, "No one reminded us, so you can only blame yourself."

"No!" Li Zaixing's eyes darted around. "President Xu, is there still time? I need to go and make some preparations!"

"Let's set off in an hour and a half; it'll be cooler then."

After receiving Xu Wenxiang's reply, Li Zaixing left in a hurry.

Zhang Lerong and Huang Jianyuan chatted happily for a while before going out to find a place to have tea.

Xu Wenxiang, who stayed in the office, would occasionally reveal a strange smile while working at her desk.

The shareholders haven't been this harmonious in a long time.

Sure enough, as long as you can make money, all obstacles will cease to be obstacles!

Chen Jiazhi did it.

This is someone Xu Wenxiang invited.

...

Empty-handed and unprepared, Li Zaixing became anxious.

If he goes to the market in the afternoon and all the other shareholders bring something but he doesn't, that would be awkward.

Even if Director Chen doesn't like tea and can't remember what Zhang Lerong gave him, he must remember that Li Zaixing didn't give him any.

In the rush, he didn't know what to give, so he just wandered around the hotel, intending to find something decent to give as a temporary solution.

quickly,

Many people noticed him.

Liu Xiaoying from the purchasing department stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Li, what are you looking for? Do you need any help?"

When Li Zaixing saw Liu Xiaoying, he was secretly delighted. This was the purchasing manager; she should be good at delivering things, right?

"Manager Liu, it's like this, you know Jiangxin Vegetable Market, right? Mr. Xu and I are going there later to deliver some things. Could you give me some advice on what would be appropriate?"

Jiangxin Vegetable Market?

Send something?
Liu Xiaoying was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "President Li, who is this for?"

Li Zaixing said, "Who else could it be but Director Chen? Recently, Jiangxin Vegetable Market has been producing a lot of vegetables, and they're selling very well. General Manager Xu organized us to go and cheer Director Chen on."

"what?!"

Liu Xiaoying was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Really? The dishes are ready so quickly?"

Li Zaixing was also very excited when he mentioned this: "Not only is it fast, but the key is that it also has high output, large quantity, good quality, and good price!"

"This time I should be able to make a good profit, so I'm going to the market. Can I leave without bringing anything?"

At this point, he also understood why Huang Jianyuan and Zhang Lerong had made preparations in advance.

That's only right!

The market has been producing a lot of vegetables these past two days, so Director Chen must be incredibly busy and working tirelessly.
Even so, they still have to take time to spend with these shareholders, so they're bound to be unhappy.

But should I say I don't want to go?
I'm so itchy to go, I can't resist! All I think about every day is making money, making money, but without actually being there in person, it just feels like something's missing.
After Liu Xiaoying understood, she was even more shocked.

At the same time, something else came to mind!

That damn He Jun, is the motorcycle from the market still in their purchasing department?!
That's the factory manager's official car!
Li Zaixing waved his hand and called out, "Manager Liu, Manager Liu, what do you think would be a suitable gift for me?"

"Motorcycle~"

"what?"

"No." Liu Xiaoying shook her head hurriedly: "President Li, I can't think of anything to give you right now. I have something to do, so I'll go now."

Li Zaixing looked Liu Xiaoying's firm lower body up and shook his head: "She's pretty, but it's a bit strange, why give her a motorcycle!"

Time was running out, and Li Zaixing was getting a little impatient. But after catching a fleeting glimpse of Liu Xiaoying's face, he suddenly remembered that he had brought a set of skincare products from Hong Kong.

Damn, this is all I'm getting.

With Director Chen being so handsome, he's bound to attract some troublesome women.

Yes, this is it!

Feeling that it was suitable, Li Zaixing turned around to get it, but after taking a few steps, he saw Tang Xiao, who had a protruding belly, and his lackey Gou Tao in the lobby.

"Jie Jie~"

Li Zaixing chuckled wickedly twice and strode over to strike up a conversation.

...

Jiangxin Vegetable Market

Faint birdsong could be heard coming from one of the offices.
I am a farmer.

"I am a handsome guy~"

"It's better not to learn this bird language..."

Soon, the office fell silent.

It was past five o'clock, time for Director Chen to take his afternoon nap. He found that sleeping during the workday was truly refreshing for both body and mind. A gentle breeze occasionally drifted through the window into the room, making it easy and restful to sleep soundly.
About half an hour later,

Two black sedans slowly slowed down on the provincial highway. The first thing that caught the eye was several vegetable fields that had been harvested, and the vegetable leaves on the ground had been dried by the sun.

Further on, the provincial highway is lined with lush green vegetable fields, as if a green carpet has been laid out.

Countless vegetable farmers wearing straw hats were busy in the fields, yet their distribution was quite layered.

The car stopped right next to the provincial highway.

Xu Wenxiang, Huang Jianyuan, Zhang Lerong, and Li Zaixing got off the bus one after another. Seeing the scene in the vegetable field, they felt a strange joy. Each of them had a thousand feelings welling up in their hearts. They wanted to recite a poem, but in the end, they turned it into a series of concise words.

"very nice!"

"Not bad!"

"Great!"

"Beautiful!"

The group acted as if they had never seen the world before.

They had actually imagined this scene many times, but each time they received the same message: the vegetable is dead, the vegetable is dead, the vegetable is dead again.
You're fucking incompetent!
Can't vegetables just live a normal life once?!

Now that they've seen it, they say it's wonderful.

Xu Wenxiang walked into the vegetable field, bending over and stooping like a vegetable farmer, just to experience what it felt like to pinch vegetables.

But the astonishing arc that appeared in an instant made the three men swallow inwardly.

She seemed to sense something was wrong, and straightened up, looking at one of the men who appeared to be Chen Cai Nong's follower.

Where is Director Chen?

Ao Deliang had noticed the newcomer long ago and had come to the side, but he didn't dare to go up and talk to him.

Hearing Xu Wenxiang ask him this, he became even more flustered and stammered, "In the office, I guess."

Xu Wenxiang nodded, glanced at the vegetable field, and took a deep breath. This is all money!

Then he led the way toward the office building.

The two cars had already parked in the yard, but the office building was generally quiet.

"I'll go up first, you guys take the stuff."

"Good~"

Xu Wenxiang strode up to the second floor with her long legs. The windows and doors were wide open, and she stared blankly at the man inside.

With his legs on the desk, the chair slightly tilted against the wall, and a pillow behind his head, he was fast asleep!

Xu Wenxiang was somewhat angered.

I tiptoed in, getting closer and closer. I had intended to scare him, but I hesitated when I saw his young face.

His face was handsome, a little dark, but that only made him more masculine. He seemed to be dreaming of something wonderful, with a slight smile playing on his lips.

She laughed.

"Director Chen, we've come to see you!"

A loud shout came from the stairwell.

Chen Jiazhi opened his eyes instantly, just like when he was caught dozing off in class by the teacher. The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a beautiful face.

"Fuck you!"

Chen Jiazhi's heart skipped a beat; he was startled and panicked, causing the already tilted chair to tip over and fall to the ground with a thud.

Xu Wenxiang instinctively reached out and pulled him back, but while she managed to grab his hand, she still fell to the ground.

Chen Jiazhi stood up, wincing in pain.

Xu Wenxiang burst out laughing, her laughter shaking her whole body.

Chen Jiazhi said angrily, "When did you arrive? You didn't make a sound when you walked."

"Just arrived a while ago."

Xu Wenxiang crossed her arms over her chest, listening to the footsteps getting closer on the stairs, and said in a low voice as if possessed, "They're here, don't tell them you're sleeping."

I only told others that I was sick.

However, judging from this, Xu Wenxiang is going to keep it a secret for him.

Does that mean I can slack off and sleep even more freely from now on?

Just as Chen Jiazhi was pondering, Huang Jianyuan, Zhang Lerong, and Li Zaixing arrived at the door one after another, carrying various items in their hands.

Huang Jianyuan also directed a driver to bring a coffee table into the house and assemble it.

"What's going on here, Mr. Huang, Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang? Why are you making such a big fuss?"

Huang Jianyuan laughed and said, "Since we're already here, we might as well improve your office conditions while we're at it."

Zhang Lerong also said, "Yes, Director Chen, you work so hard all day, so I brought you some tea, the best Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, it'll help you stay alert."

"Oh, you're too kind, thank you!"

Chen Jiazhi thanked him verbally, but in his heart he was thinking, "So this means I have to work like crazy. How am I supposed to slack off and sleep after drinking tea?"
That's not okay.

But it still makes me feel good on the surface.

Li Zaixing hesitated for a moment, but still took out the skincare products he was carrying from behind him.

"Manager Chen, I brought you a set of American skincare products from Hong Kong~"

Skincare products?
Chen Jiazhi took it with some surprise, opened the bag and looked inside; it was a very small packaging box.

He didn't understand this, but he had a natural feeling that Li Xiu would like it; what woman doesn't love beauty!

"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Li~"

Chen Jiazhi expressed his gratitude with even greater enthusiasm.

Li Zaixing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Wenxiang could also see that Chen Jiazhi genuinely liked this skincare product, and couldn't help but envy that simple woman.
