Chapter 140 Young people are really open-minded

"This... these are all grown on the farm?" Old Xue said in surprise as he looked at the two large baskets of vegetables and fruits.

Because Mu Jiu was very careful in packing and transporting the fruits and vegetables, they still looked like they were just picked and had not frozen into icicles.

So much so that when Lao Xue felt the slightly soft strawberry in his hand, he felt a little dazed and doubted whether it was real.

The old man touched each vegetable and fruit in the large wooden frame one by one.

It was as if he was trying to confirm whether these were all real things, as if he was worried that Mu Jiu was using fake models to impersonate them.

Captain Fu Ji introduced to Mu Jiu:

"Xiao Mu, this is Deputy Base Chief Xue, who is in charge of the operation of the base warehouse and the commercial company.

From now on, you will report directly to Deputy Base Chief Xue on the issue of the fruit and vegetable handover at the farm."

After looking at the fruit and vegetable boxes, Deputy Base Commander Xue narrowed his eyes and said:

“I heard that this young lady was strongly recommended by your youngest son, and it seems to be the case.

But since your boy already has a wife from the Zhu family, you might as well give this girl to the one from my family!

This person has good looks and abilities. When I retire, he will be able to assist my son in taking over this position!"

Mu Jiu stood aside and squinted her eyes. It seemed that the old man treated her as an object.

And he gave her to the one in his family to help his son inherit the throne?

He looks ugly, but he has beautiful thoughts.

Judging from how ugly this old man is, his son must not be much better looking either.

"Hehe, Deputy Base Commander Xue, I already have a partner, so you don't have to worry about me!" Mu Jiu said with a smile.

This time, without waiting for Deputy Base Commander Xue to speak, Base Commander Fu asked first:

"Ms. Mu doesn't look very old. Is she married already?"

As everyone in the room looked confused, Mu Jiu pulled Gu Nuan's hand from behind, interlocked their fingers and said with a smile:

"I guess so. We've been together for many years, but the law before the end of the world didn't allow us to get a marriage certificate. She was wronged!

Fortunately, after the apocalypse, there are not so many restrictions, and life is much more relaxed than before the apocalypse!"

When going out, everyone would create a special personality for themselves. When it comes to looking ugly, Mu Jiu has never lost.

When Mu Jiu said this, Gu Nuan's little hands tightened, she swallowed dryly, and looked at her brother Gu Yang innocently.

She really didn't know about this! She swears!

But my sister might have gone too far with this joke. This is in front of two big leaders at the base. Is it really okay to say such nonsense?

Gu Yang didn't look at his sister, but instead looked at the old man unfriendly.

The words just now were clearly meant to belittle and objectify his sister, and nothing her sister said was excessive.

If possible, he really wanted to rush up and beat up the old man to vent his anger.

"Haha! Young people nowadays are really open-minded and have really unique tastes!"

Deputy Base Commander Xue looked at the pair of clasped hands and the two faces that were different in style but both could be called beautiful...

What a waste of resources, wasting two at once!

Traditional ideas made the old man feel upset.

He was completely disgusted.

But because the head of the base was there, he couldn't say anything unpleasant. Fortunately, he wanted to matchmake his son...

Everyone praises this girl to the sky. It's true that no one is perfect. Just the fact that she likes women makes her useless!

Deputy Base Commander Xue's face turned from white to red and then to white before finally returning to normal.

Captain Fu Ji's expression became extremely subtle and complicated from the moment Mu Jiu sweetly held Gu Nuan's hand.

Thinking of the joyful look on my boy's face every time he talked about Miss Mu, I felt a wave of grief and regret!

Not long ago, thanks to Miss Mu's suggestion, her son brought back a large amount of frozen fish from the mountains behind the farm, for which he was credited with another great achievement.

His silly son has never been good at love affairs. It took him a long time to get his love back, but how come... Alas!

Of course, Mu Jiu had no idea about the two leaders’ mental journey, nor did she care much.

It doesn't matter whether the method is harmful or not, as long as it is effective.

This immediately blocked the leader’s unreasonable fantasies!

The goal was achieved, Mu Jiu smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern for my personal life!

But now that we are in the end times, I think it is more important to solve the problem of survival!

I will be coordinating with the deputy base commander on farm work in the future, so please give me your guidance!"

Deputy Base Commander Xue swallowed the disgusting fly stuck in his throat and said with a serious face:

"I will send someone to Minister Mu to the farm to coordinate the fruit and vegetable matters."

After saying this, Deputy Base Commander Xue strode out of the base commander's office and went back to gather people.

The office returned to calm, and Director Fu Ji slowly spoke:

"The story between Miss Mu and this little girl must not be true, right?"

He did notice something unusual in Gu Nuan's eyes.

The girl's initial surprised expression did not seem like they had been together for many years as Miss Mu said.

But from the look on Mu Jiu's face, he couldn't tell whether this was true or not.

It's hard to understand what he's thinking at such a young age.

Mu Jiu didn't take it seriously and asked with a smile, "Does the base commander think I'm joking?"

Once and for all, the base commander's words were blocked.

Having said that, Captain Fu Ji no longer worried too much about this issue.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; after all, emotional matters cannot be forced.

He then changed the subject and asked Mu Jiu to introduce to him the secret of how the fruits and vegetables in front of him could resist the cold.

Within half an hour, Deputy Base Commander Xue sent someone over.

A man carrying a briefcase, who looked like an elite man before the apocalypse, was accompanied by a group of young men.

Deputy Base Commander Xue followed last and entered the door.

After the man greeted the base commander, he turned to Mu Jiu and said:

"Minister Mu, my name is Xue Zi, and I am the chief secretary of Deputy Base Director Xue.

From now on, he will be the specialist in charge of connecting the base warehouse with farm affairs.

We will follow you back to the farm to count, pack and transport all the fruits and vegetables on the farm.”

After listening to the introduction, Mu Jiu looked at Xue Zi in front of him, who was a member of the Xue family.

"Nice to meet you!" Then everyone looked at Deputy Base Commander Fu.

After chatting for a while, Captain Fu Ji had a general understanding of the situation on the farm, so he asked Mu Jiu to take people back to the farm first and continue the chat when they have time.

As for the commendation, he will announce it to the public after he holds a high-level meeting.

Coming out of the command building, I saw several large trucks neatly lined up outside the door, waiting for dispatch.

Xue Zi came over and invited Mu Jiu and her people to ride in the truck together.

Mu Jiu pointed at his G-Class and refused.

So a row of large trucks followed Mu Jiu's G-Class and drove towards the farm.

On the way back, there was an eerie silence in the G-Class.

Gu Yang was driving. Lou Nan was never talkative, but Gu Nuan asked weakly:

"Sister, why did I have to tell the base commander about our thing today? Actually..."

In fact, she could have pulled her brother Gu Yang out to block the knife! Her brother was willing to do so!

Mu Jiu raised his eyes and looked at her, "Those people have gotten to this point, they are not easy to fool.

Originally, I wanted to pull Gu Yang in to make my position clear, but the Gu family incident hadn’t happened long ago.

I believe the base commander should know the details, and there is no guarantee that Deputy Base Commander Xue also knows.

It was made clear at the time that Gu Yang and I had no relationship, but now I have to establish a relationship, and you are quite suitable.

I saw the old man’s expression today, as if he had eaten shit. The effect was pretty good!

When we get back to the farm, you have to cooperate with me and perform the whole act."

Mu Jiu said as he patted Gu Nuan lightly on the shoulder.

Gu Nuan looked at Mu Jiu with her big, watery, blinking eyes and nodded seriously.

Gu Nuan felt sorry for her brother for just one second, and he almost became her sister's rumored boyfriend for a day. What a pity!

Gu Yang quietly glanced at Mu Jiu, who was smiling happily, in the rearview mirror. He said nothing, as long as his sister was happy.

Before coming to report today, Mu Jiu had already dealt with the internal affairs of the farm.

The portion that he kept for himself had been dried, bagged and packaged the day before, and Gu Yang and his men stuffed it into the cellar overnight.

The remaining fresh fruits displayed on the surface are the 20% that are prepared to be handed over.

So when the convoy drove into the farm wall, everyone soon saw the various fruits and vegetables piled up like mountains in the lobby on the first floor of the research building.

This time even Deputy Base Commander Xue was completely convinced.

Because if you look around, you can see green branches left over from the harvest in the transparent greenhouse.

This is an extremely special man-made landscape in the extreme cold of the end times!

After being surprised, Xue Zi began to lead his men to count all the fruits and vegetables piled up in the lobby on the first floor.

Judging by sight alone, the fruits and vegetables here are definitely enough to be listed for sale online by the commercial society.

Xue Zi's people are very efficient. From weighing, registering, packaging and loading, all the processes are very complete and not cumbersome at all.

Mu Jiu sat in a recliner with a cup of freshly brewed fruit tea, waiting quietly by the side.

She was too lazy to greet the old man who never looked at her straight in the eye, so she just let him wait.

It's all for work. He's just a lousy leader, how great can he be?

It was almost time for dinner when Xue Zi's men finished counting all the fruits and vegetables.

The first floor is close to the farm cafeteria. The aroma of Mrs. Lou’s cooking wafts over slowly, making everyone drool.

Mu Jiu had no intention of asking her leader to stay for dinner. She didn't rely on currying favor with her leader to get promoted. She just wanted to lie down where she was. Her life was good now.

Xue Zi mentioned it, "Minister Mu's canteen food is really delicious. The people on the farm are in for a treat!"

Mu Jiu responded with a smile:

“Yes, the chef who cooked this is my friend. He got his master chef certificate before the apocalypse, so of course it’s delicious!

Farm work is hard, and it is only right that we provide everyone with better food!"

The only thing he didn't ask was for the leader to stay for dinner before leaving.

Xue Zi glanced at the unhappy Old Man Xue and handed the statistical table to Mu Jiu helplessly.

"This is our handover document. Minister Mu, please take a look. If there are no problems, just sign at the end of the document.

Later, we will ask the financial staff to deposit the points into the farm’s public account according to the number of points on the document.”

Mu Jiu looked at the document and raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the long string of numbers for points.
