Chapter 45 Reaching a Cooperation Agreement

Jiang Chao understood what Yunxia was saying, but he just couldn't swallow his anger. All the fruits and vegetables his sister had painstakingly grown had gone to Gu Xun.

Seeing that his expression was softening, Yunxia continued to persuade him: "Before, the selling price of fruits and vegetables was 2-3 cents per pound. We worked ourselves to the bone and only sold 100 pounds. Now someone is buying them long-term at 8 cents per pound. This saves us time in selling and we can make a lot of money. Why not do it?"

"Ha, who knows how much he sells it for per pound!"

"Oh, whether he earns a lot or a little is his own business, it has nothing to do with us. As long as we make money, that's enough!"

"Furthermore, doing business with him allows you to learn from his experience and, if the opportunity arises, create your own brand instead of selling fruits and vegetables. What do you think?"

The young man frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally sighed, saying, "Okay, but the purchase price needs to be raised, and you need to keep the matter of our own brand firmly in mind."

The two talked about the acquisition price for a while, then turned around and went back to the abandoned bridge. Yunxia used the old method to wake Gu Xun up again.

"Hey, try a different approach next time. If you get heart palpitations just hearing that orders are being snatched up, and this happens a few more times, you might develop a heart attack."

"Ha!"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? All that 'ho ho ho'ing, you'd think you were a reincarnated donkey!"

"you……"

"Jiang Chao, don't be angry. Gu Xun didn't mean it. Let's talk about serious matters!"

By the way, do donkeys bray?

The gloomy young man, suppressing his anger, turned his head to the side and refused to communicate with someone.

With a mischievous grin in his eyes, Gu Xun stared at the rosy-cheeked little girl, waiting for her reply.

"Oh, Gu Xun, Jiang Chao and I have discussed it and agreed to your proposal, but... the purchase price will have to be increased slightly!"

The young man chuckled and asked, "How much is 'a tiny bit'?"

Yunxia hesitated for a moment, then tentatively said, "One yuan and fifty cents per pound!"

"Hey, Yunxia, ​​can you help your brother check if the words 'easy target' are written all over your forehead?"

The little girl raised her eyes slightly, shook her head regretfully, and said, "Gu Xun, your bangs are too thick, I can't see your forehead."

puff!

Hahaha! Hahaha!

Yun Xia leaned back slightly, her delicate brows furrowed, and looked at the boy who was laughing heartily with a puzzled expression!

"Yunxia, ​​how come you're so... cute!" The boy, who was laughing so hard he almost choked, teased, clutching his stomach.

"No matter how cute it is, it's not yours!"

"Her surname is Yun, and yours is Jiang, so she's not from your family!"

Yunxia poked the back of someone's hand, signaling him to stop arguing with the client!

"Ha!"

"Gu Xun, 1.5 yuan, what do you think?"

Sigh, even if you're cute, it can't stop you from making money. "Brand registration, initial promotion, customized packaging... hiring sales staff, which one doesn't cost money? Yunxia, ​​I really can't give you 1.5 yuan."

"We've done business together twice, so we're practically acquaintances. Give me an honest price!"

"9 cents!"

"No, it has to be 1.3 yuan!"

"One yuan!"

"No, 1.2 yuan."

"make a deal!"

The two went back and forth, and the purchase price of melons and fruits was set at 1.2 yuan per jin.

"Once all the formalities and preparations are complete, I can contact you from there!"

"Just leave a note for the owner of the Grandma's Dumpling Restaurant next to Jiangcheng Middle School!"

"Okay, wait for news in a week!"

"A week?" Yun Xia asked incredulously.

"What... you think it's taking too long? Then I'll try my best to get it done as soon as possible!"

"That's not what I meant. Can you get all that sorted out in a short time?"

"Hey, you think you can look down on me? Don't underestimate my connections!"

"Then let's wait patiently for your good news!"

After thanking him, she pulled Jiang Chao away, but before long, the roar of a motorcycle came from behind them.

Hongchi came to a stop with a drift, kicking up clouds of dust that were very choking. Yunxia quickly covered her mouth and nose. "Gu Xun, what brings you here?" Could it be that you've changed your mind and want to lower the price?

The boy smoothed his disheveled hair and said in a flippant tone, "You're here to collect a debt, so let's go eat hot pot today."

Yunxia: ...

Okay, after walking for so long, I'm hungry. This is a good opportunity to see someone's true colors!

After asking Jiang Chao, Gu Xun nodded in agreement. The two squeezed into the back seat and were taken to a classically decorated hot pot restaurant. Gu Xun seemed to know the place well, and went straight into a private room, quickly ordering the dishes.

"Oh no, Yunxia, ​​I forgot you were treating us to dinner. The food we ordered was a bit expensive. I'm sorry."

The strong aroma of green tea almost overflowed from the private room!

Yunxia: We've already ordered, what else can we say?

He forced a smile and pretended to be generous, saying, "It's alright. This meal has been dragging on for so long, it's only right that I pay a hefty price. Just take good care of me in business in the future."

"I'm relieved to hear that. Waiter, bring four more plates of beef."

Jiang Chao glanced sideways at the girl who looked pained, and handed her a cup of chrysanthemum tea, indicating... to cool her down.

"Boss Gu, if you make someone cry, I won't comfort them!"

Yunxia, ​​sipping her chrysanthemum tea, rolled her eyes at him, thinking to herself that she wouldn't cry even if he ordered twice the amount of food.

"No kidding, I forgot to order beef when I was choosing the dishes. Let me tell you, this hot pot restaurant is the best in Jiangcheng. The meat slices are smooth and tender, and the broth is made with high-quality ingredients..."

Wow, his words are making my mouth water!

Soon, the waiter began to serve the dishes. The soup bases were spicy and seafood, and the table was filled with various meat and vegetable dishes.

The soup simmered and bubbled as Yunxia added the ingredients while keeping a close eye on Gu Xun's mask.

Is there something on my face?

"No, why aren't you taking off your mask?"

"Take it off, of course we'll take it off! How can we eat with a cotton mask on!"

He finished speaking, chuckled softly, and slowly removed his cotton mask under the expectant and curious gaze of the little girl.

"Phew, the restraints are gone, time to enjoy the feast!"

Pick up a slice of beef, dip it in the broth for a few seconds, slurp it into your mouth, squint your eyes slightly, and enjoy the delicious taste with satisfaction.

"Yunxia, ​​don't just stand there, the vegetables you cooked are all done."

The cool voice beside her brought Yunxia back to her senses. She picked up all the vegetables from the soup and started eating them, pretending to be engrossed in the delicious food. But her shifty eyes betrayed her.

Good heavens! There's a cloth mask inside the cotton mask, with a rectangular hole in the center that just covers my mouth.

"Mr. Gu, wouldn't it be more convenient to take off your mask?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xun paused for a moment, then put down his chopsticks and said sadly, "When I was little, my family was poor. I wanted to drink brown sugar water, so I went to my aunt's house to ask for some. But we got into an argument over something trivial, and the scalding hot water got all over my mouth and nose, leaving indelible scars. People my age laughed at me, and over time, I could never take off this mask again."

He choked up as he spoke, and Yunxia quickly handed him a tissue. "Gu Xun, no matter what others say, ever since you saved me last time, I've thought you're the most handsome person in the world."

"Thank you for the compliment, I feel the same way!"

"Heh! What do you think?"

Why does everyone want to take my sister away from me? If you want one, go home and ask your mom to have one.
