Online store launch
Zhong Ling hung up the phone and called Xiao Zhao again.
"Ms. Zhong." Xiao Zhao's voice on the other end of the phone was as calm as ever.
"Come to my place now." Zhong Ling said.
"Yes, Miss Zhong, I'll be there right away." Xiao Zhao had no questions.
Putting away her phone, Zhong Ling walked to the courtyard gate. Not long after, a black Hongqi sedan pulled up outside the courtyard. The door opened, and Xiao Zhao, dressed in casual clothes, quickly stepped out.
Zhong Ling opened the gate.
Xiao Zhao was about to step in, but his eyes were involuntarily attracted by the scene in the corner of the yard, and his steps paused slightly.
On the pieces of land against the wall, several pots of plants are in full bloom. Just with a quick glance, Xiao Zhao can feel the difference of these plants.
It was exactly the same as what he had seen at the base before. He quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelids, not daring to look any longer, and quickly followed Zhong Ling's pace.
"Come in." Zhong Ling didn't care about his brief distraction and turned to walk into the house.
Zhong Ling sat down on the sofa and motioned Xiao Zhao to sit opposite her.
"There is something you need to do." Zhong Ling went straight to the point.
Xiao Zhao immediately sat up straight, his expression focused: "Miss Zhong, please give me your instructions."
"I opened a shop on Taobei called 'Delicious Vegetable Shop,'" Zhong Ling said. "I sell vegetables that I grow."
A flash of surprise crossed Xiao Zhao's face. Opening an online store? Selling vegetables, a strategic resource?
He almost thought he had heard it wrong, but Zhong Ling's calm eyes told him that this was not a joke.
"From today on, this online store will be yours to manage," Zhong Ling continued. "When someone places an order, you'll be responsible for packing it and contacting the courier for delivery."
"I... am responsible?" Xiao Zhao confirmed, quickly digesting the task in his mind.
This was beyond the scope of his duties as a liaison and driver.
"Yes, you are responsible." Zhong Ling nodded. "You can figure out the specific operation yourself. You can go directly to the base to pick the things. I give you the authority."
Xiao Zhao calmed himself down and quickly got back to work: "Yes, Ms. Zhong, I understand. I will familiarize myself with the platform operations as quickly as possible and ensure the completion of the task."
"Yes." Zhong Ling responded, and added, "If you're too busy and don't have enough manpower, you can directly ask Director Qiao to send someone to you."
When Xiao Zhao heard this, he was even more shocked.
Miss Zhong is... treating the country's human resources as helpers for her online store?
But he didn't dare to question it, and just replied, "Yes, I understand."
"Okay, there's nothing else to do. Go ahead." Zhong Ling waved her hand and picked up the tea beside her, obviously not intending to say anything more.
"Yes." Xiao Zhao stood up, bowed slightly, left the room, and closed the door.
Only after walking out of the yard and getting back into the car did Xiao Zhao let out a long sigh.
He glanced at the quiet courtyard in the rearview mirror and picked up the encrypted communicator.
"Reporting to Director Qiao, Miss Zhong has returned to her residence in Shangjing."
Qiao Jianmin's slightly relaxed voice came from the other end of the communicator: "I'm glad you're back. How's she doing? Did she encounter any trouble?"
"Miss Zhong is in good condition, nothing unusual." Xiao Zhao paused, considering what to say. "Also, Miss Zhong has given me a task..."
He reported in detail how Zhong Ling opened an online store and put him in charge of operations and shipments, including instructions that he could ask Director Qiao for support if there was a shortage of manpower.
There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds.
When Qiao Jianmin's voice rang out again, it was filled with surprise, helplessness, and even a hint of amusement: "...Open an online store? Sell...sell that vegetable?"
"Yes, Director. The name of the store is 'Delicious Vegetable Store'." Xiao Zhao answered truthfully.
Qiao Jianmin rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that his cognition was once again refreshed by this "big boss".
Using strategic resources that could cause an international stir and potentially change the country's future to open a Taobao store and name it "Delicious Vegetable Store"? Should he praise her name for being... really good?
This style of behavior is so arbitrary that it is outrageous.
"I understand." Qiao Jianmin took a deep breath and regained his composure. "Xiao Zhao, fully cooperate with Miss Zhong's request. If you're short on manpower, just submit a report and I'll coordinate. Remember, make sure she's satisfied and don't make any mistakes."
"Yes! I will guarantee to complete the task!" Xiao Zhao responded immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jianmin couldn't help but smile bitterly. This guy is really an ancestor.
Qin Yali listened to the busy tone on the phone, holding the phone tightly in her hand, her fingertips even trembling.
Finally, she can buy it. As long as she can buy Miss Zhong’s vegetables, her son’s health will be guaranteed.
What is money? Health is priceless.
She almost couldn't wait to open the Taobei App and slid her fingers quickly across the screen.
In the search box, she typed: "delicious vegetable shop".
This name... is a bit too plain.
Qin Yali muttered something in her heart, but her hands did not stop moving at all.
Soon, a store page that looked extremely ordinary popped up.
There are no fancy pages or pictures, just a simple list of products - "Fresh Vegetables".
When you click in, the details page is even simpler, with only a few lines of introduction and not even a decent picture of the vegetables.
However, the eye-catching price made her pupils shrink slightly.
Six hundred yuan per kilogram.
It’s much more expensive than buying it directly in Yunxi Village before.
But Qin Yali didn't even blink, she knew too well the value of these vegetables.
She simply filled in "10" in the quantity column.
Click Buy, enter your password, and payment is successful.
The whole process went smoothly without any hesitation.
The order confirmation page popped up, and Qin Yali stared at the screen, as if those words could give her a sense of security.
After doing all this, she immediately opened WeChat.
In a group chat called "Qionghai Elite Circle", she quickly edited a message and sent it out along with the store link.
"Sisters, Miss Zhong has opened an online store. Now you can buy the magic vegetable online! This is it! The price is a bit high, but you know the effect! Be quick, or you will miss it!"
She understands the people in this circle. They are not short of money, and what they value most is health and scarce resources.
The group was silent for a moment.
The next second, it was like pouring a bucket of cold water into boiling oil, causing the whole thing to explode.
"What the hell?! Sister Qin, are you serious? That dish that can cure anorexia?"
"Miss Zhong? Is she the very young girl who lives in the village?"
"Selling online? Is it reliable? Are they scammers?"
"Could Sister Qin's recommendation be fake? I'm going first!"
"Six hundred pounds? Hiss... But for my dad's arthritis, it's worth it!"
"I've placed an order for ten kilograms! Thank you, Sister Qin!"
"Twenty kilograms! Send some to my grandparents, too!"
“I just clicked on it and it says it’s out of stock?!”
Messages flashed across the screen one after another, so fast that it was dizzying.
