Jiang Zhan responded.

The call was immediately hung up by the other end.

Jiang Zhan raised his hand to support the frame of his glasses to hide the smile on his face, and then continued to operate the backend of Fuwang Farm's online mall to confirm that there was no problem with the pre-sale of rice for noon today.

During this time, Jiang Zhan received another call from his uncle.

"Zhan'er, the sales of boutique supermarkets are declining quarter by quarter. Why don't you stay in the company and think of a solution? I heard that you went traveling alone?"

Jiang Zhan responded calmly: "Yeah."

Only his grandfather and brother knew what he was going to do, but he told others that he was going to travel.

The person on the other end of the phone said in a tone of regret: "If you had half the brains of your brother, this boutique supermarket wouldn't have ended up like this. After all, you have been inferior to your brother in every way since you were a child. If he hadn't insisted on running a hospital, this boutique supermarket would never have been yours."

"Forget it. Uncle doesn't mean to blame you. He is just worried about the sales and is afraid that such a good industry will be ruined in your hands. If you are not capable of managing it, I will tell Grandpa later and let Yu'er manage this supermarket."

Jiang Yu is my uncle's son and is now in charge of managing the company's hotel projects.

Jiang Zhan was not angry when he was told this. He seemed to be used to it and just replied calmly, "I know, uncle. I will try my best."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhan lowered his eyes with inferiority, pressed his index finger against the sliding frame and lifted it up, and continued to analyze the data in the background of Fuwang Farm Mall.

At twelve o'clock, the workers who were busy in the back mountain went home one after another to make lunch.

Xu Qingzhi was sitting on a small stool picking beans.

Jiang Zhan has been keeping a close eye on the ever-increasing data in the background, and his attitude is more serious than before when he treated the batch of bayberries in the boutique supermarket. He likes to do many things himself, just like when he came out to live broadcast to attract sales in order to sell bayberries. So he has already mastered the background clearly.

When the backstage showed that all pre-sale items were sold out, he found Qingzhi holding his computer, and smiled a little on his tense face, saying, "The rice pre-sale items are sold out. In thirty minutes, the sales volume was 940,000."

Xu Qingzhi freed one hand from picking beans and gave him a thumbs up: "Zhanzhan, thank you for your advice, you are awesome. I asked my mom to make chicken soup for lunch, you should drink more then, it will be good for your health."

It's not like Jiang Zhan hasn't been praised before, but this time, when someone said "You're awesome", his face felt like it was burning with heat.

The tips of his ears began to feel hot, carrying with them the complex emotions hidden in his heart.

Because he was helping, not without asking for anything in return. He was doing these things proactively because he wanted to get cooperation with Fuwang Farm.

Wang Yanmei came out to bring the beans that Xu Qingzhi had picked. She looked at the tall and handsome young man standing at the kitchen door and said, "Zhanzhan, there's a lot of fumes in here. Why don't you go sit outside for a while?"

Jiang Zhan then went out again.

Xu Qingzhi suddenly thought of Feng Yan. The only good thing about his appearance... was probably that her mother finally stopped asking about a man's age and trying to arrange a marriage for her.

This feeling is even more comfortable and relaxed.

Finish lunch.

Xu Qingzhi wore a bamboo basket on his wrist and went for a stroll with the cabbages, tomatoes and cucumbers grown in the spiritual space.

On the way, I met Granny Xia and called her.

Granny Xia must have been walking around the fields, holding a handful of long beans in her hand. When she saw Qingzhi calling her, she responded enthusiastically, "Qingzhi, what are you doing in such a hot sun? You have such fair, tender and moist skin, don't get tanned."

Xu Qingzhi replied: "I'm going to find my grandpa."

She took out two bunches of Chinese cabbage from the basket and said, "Grandma Xia, these Chinese cabbages have just been picked and are still tender. Take them."

As he said that, he stuffed it into Grandma Xia's arms.

"Hey, just take it." Xu Qingzhi stuffed it into her arms.

Granny Xia accepted it, with a happy look on her face, "Okay, I can't persuade you, kid, so I'll accept it."

The two of them happened to be going the same way, so they went together.

The old man can never keep quiet.

Granny Xia began to ask, "Qingzhi, why are you going to look for your grandpa in the middle of the day? What's the matter? I see your grandpa fishing in the reservoir every day. He might not be home right now. Don't go there for nothing."

She said, "I'll go ask Grandpa if anyone in the village has leased out their land. I want to lease out more land."

When Granny Xia heard this, her expression changed and she thought of something.

Whatever happens in this village, it will spread back and forth.

The Xu family wanted to contract some land, and they wanted to contract some land around their own land. Originally the deal was going well, but it all changed this morning. It was said that Xu Fuqiang, the well-known honest and simple man in the village, was so angry about this matter that his face turned red.

Granny Xia tightened her grip on the cabbage and asked tentatively, "Qingzhi, do you think my family's few acres of land are worth it? My old man and I are not planning to plant any crops in the second half of the year. A few months ago, he slipped on a ridge and was hospitalized for half a month. The children are worried about our health and don't allow us to work."

The "several acres" that Grandma Xia mentioned were not just a few acres; it was just a way of expressing her modesty.

Her five older brothers now live in the city with their children, and the fields in their hometown are all taken care of by Granny Xia. The couple are also hardworking and have managed to manage the 40-odd acres of fields. They usually call for help when they are farming.

Xu Qingzhi showed a bit of surprise on her face: "Mother-in-law, are you willing to give me the land?"

"Well, if you want a bag, just take it. You don't have to pay for it." said Grandma Xia.

"You can't do it without paying." Xu Qingzhi refused, "Mother-in-law, do you think 600 per mu of land is appropriate?"

Granny Xia's wrinkled face now looked more relaxed. The price of renting out a piece of land in this village was actually quite low, 300 yuan per mu was the normal price, so she was very tempted when she heard that Xu Fuqiang was renting out a piece of land for 500 yuan per mu.

She and her old man were no longer farming, so they had to lease out the land. Unexpectedly, Qingzhi offered 600 yuan per acre.

But Granny Xia waved her hand and said, "No, no, I'll give you 300 per acre. Others are offering the same price."

"Mother-in-law, it's only 600 per acre. How can someone be as rich as you and not make money?" Xu Qingzhi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled like a warm spring breeze.

Granny Xia still refused, her face was stern, and with the stubbornness that is unique to old people, she said, "If you don't agree to this price, I won't rent it to you."

"Okay, Grandma, then it's 300 per acre. Let's sign a contract later, okay?" Xu Qingzhi was afraid of something going wrong, so he put the basket in Grandma Xia's hand directly, "Take these vegetables back and eat them."

Granny Xia thought it was troublesome to have to sign a contract, but when she looked at the basket full of vegetables, she smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's settled. Let's go to the village chief this afternoon to get a witness."

"Okay." Xu Qingzhi told her the time was five o'clock in the afternoon, and asked her father to sign at that time.

Xu Qingzhi sent Grandma Xia directly to her doorstep, and then strolled leisurely in the village and looked at the several acres of land belonging to Grandma Xia.

The fields of several families are adjacent to each other, but they are also independent plots. There are hills in front and on the right, and cement roads on the left and behind.

On her way home, she called her dad and told him about it.

She didn't intend to look for her grandpa at all. She just wanted to take the opportunity to solve the land issue. She did something a little bit harmless so as to save her father from feeling sad and blaming himself.
