Returning to the mountain village, starting with mushroom picking to get rich

"Manager Su? What a rare guest."

Upon hearing Su Rong's familiar voice, Yang Lin hesitated for a moment before collecting all the strange and unusual fusion fungi in his home.

He then got up, went to the living room, and opened the bedroom door.

"Manager Su, what brings you here? Is something wrong at the company?" Yang Lin asked, inviting her into the living room.

"Boss, tell me the truth, are you going to abandon us and run away?"

As soon as she entered the door, Su Rong angrily questioned Yang Lin.

Since that idea came to her, Su Rong, combining her understanding of the industry with what she had seen and heard on the production line of Xianglong Company, became more and more convinced of her conjecture.

After much hesitation and inner turmoil, she finally mustered the courage to approach Yang Lin.

"what?"

Yang Lin, standing nearby, was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Manager Su, I don't understand what you're talking about?"

"What time is it now? You still won't tell me the truth. Do you think I'm some recent graduate intern?" Su Rong said, feigning ferocity.

"Boss, don't forget, I'm in charge of the company's production. All your underhanded tactics and shady dealings were handled by me!"

"You might fool others, but do you think you can fool me?"

"Wait... what's going on here? Did Manager Su eat some raw Boletus edulis today?" Yang Lin asked, puzzled.

"Still trying to play dumb? I see you won't give up until you're absolutely certain, you're determined to make me reveal all the evidence, aren't you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Rong's lips moved like a machine gun, talking non-stop.

She recounted everything she had seen and heard at the company, along with her own understanding and speculations.

"Boss, you only use cheap straw materials, and you also cut corners in the processing, omitting various key steps."

It would be a miracle if mushroom logs produced this way could even produce mushrooms!

Just as the first batch of mushroom spawn was about to enter the fruiting period, the truth was about to be exposed, and the company was about to completely collapse.

They also promised generous commissions everywhere, aggressively attracting customers and collecting deposits.

If it wasn't to run away with the money, what else could it be?

Do you really dare to stay in Nanzhao and wait for the mushroom farmers to realize they've been scammed, and then come knocking on your door with knives to deal with you?

"Ugh, I thought it was something serious, is that all?"

After listening to Su Rong's analysis and explanation, Yang Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Manager Su, do you have some kind of paranoia?"

"As a member of the company's management, do you really have so little confidence in the company's products?"

"And... in your eyes, am I really that worthless?"

"Who would trust those mushroom spawn that haven't been sterilized?" Su Rong said with a disgruntled sneer.

"As for his character, someone who dares to cheat and shirk responsibility in an important production process is really not someone to be admired," Su Rong thought to himself.

Seeing this, Yang Lin shook his head helplessly.

"I know that the company's product is the first of its kind, and it represents a significant technological breakthrough compared to traditional fungi farming. It is somewhat contrary to common sense, so it is understandable that Manager Su has this concern."

"However, since you know that the first batch of mushroom spawn sold by the company is almost ready to produce mushrooms, why not wait a little longer and wait for the planting results from the Qingshan Village Cooperative? Then you'll know everything."

"I don't dare. Who knows if you'll have already disappeared by then, leaving me to take the blame for the company. That's why I came to find you and ask you first," Su Rong said, turning her head.

As she turned her head, Su Rong's gaze fell directly on the computer desk in Yang Lin's home.

On the table, a brand-new visa stands out.

"What is that?!"

Su Rong's eyes widened instantly. Without waiting for Yang Lin to speak, she took three steps at a time, quickly walked to the table, and reached out to grab the visa on the table.

Once she was sure she wasn't seeing things and that the little booklet in her hand was indeed a visa for going abroad, Su Rong felt like a detective who had found crucial evidence and solved a cold case.

"You secretly got a visa and are planning to sneak out of the country!"

"And you said you had no intention of running away with the money!"

Yang Lin looked somewhat speechless: "Manager Su, can you please stop making such wild connections? As the CEO of a company, can't I be going abroad to abscond with funds, or to investigate foreign markets and pave the way for the company's future overseas trade?"

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Su Rong said, tilting her chin up. "The company hasn't even figured out its business in Nanzhao yet, where would we get any export resources from?"

"Overseas trade? Nobody believes that."

"Manager Su, I'm your direct supervisor, so watch your tone of voice," Yang Lin said.

"You're already planning to run away, to discard the donkey after it has served its purpose, and I'm not even allowed to ask you questions?" Su Rong was still somewhat relentless.

"I don't care, you can't just abandon me, you can't just leave me like this."

"Ahem... Manager Su, please have some self-respect. We are just colleagues. What you said could easily be misunderstood."

"I don't care. I'm the manager of the company. I'm the one who handled the work of having the employees cut corners and produce substandard mushroom substrate. If the company goes bankrupt, I'll definitely suffer too. Even if we have to run away, you have to take me with you."

Yang Lin slapped his forehead in exasperation: "Even at a time like this, you still don't trust me and the company's products?"

"President Lin, we're already in this together. At this point, aren't you going to tell me the truth?" Su Rong said.

"Alright, alright, I know why you couldn't stay at your last company. I'm scared of you, I'll tell you the truth..."

Yang Lin sighed.

"Our company recently contacted a lot of peddlers who travel to the countryside to help us collect some wild mushrooms."

"In the last few months, matsutake mushrooms have entered their peak growing season, and many people in the countryside have picked them in the mountains and sold them to me."

"I figured that matsutake mushrooms are more popular overseas, and I also wanted to go abroad to see the world and broaden my horizons, so I decided to take the matsutake mushrooms I had on hand for export."

……

After Yang Lin's explanation, Su Rong's expression softened slightly, and she asked Yang Lin for a glass of water to drink.

However, she still couldn't completely let go of her worries.

Because of Yang Lin's influence, Xianglong Company was indeed quite laid-back in its acquisition of wild mushrooms, and Su Rong did not handle the process, so she was not very familiar with the situation.

"These past few months have indeed been the peak season for matsutake mushroom growth, but our company has only been harvesting mushrooms for a short time. How many people will actually sell their mushrooms to us?"

"Of the mushroom spawn that General Manager Lin received, how many matsutake mushrooms are enough for export?" Su Rong asked.

"Indeed, there isn't much, only about seven or eight tons," Yang Lin said casually.

"What percentage of these seven or eight tons of wild mushrooms are matsutake?" Su Rong pressed.

"Manager Su, what I mean is that the company received a total of about seven or eight tons of matsutake mushrooms," Yang Lin said.

"Cough cough cough!"

Su Rong, who was drinking water, suddenly choked.

"How many?"

"Eight tons of matsutake mushrooms?"
