Chapter 22 The Past of Cherry Blossoms and Red Oranges



"Okay, as long as you're sure it has nothing to do with the fertilizer."

"Relax, relax, sis, it's been two or three days already, has your orange business been affected?"

Gao Zimin thought about it and realized that there was no problem. It seemed that after using the 520 fragrance enhancer fertilizer recommended by her younger brother last year, the oranges had become more colorful, and the juice and aroma of the oranges were also more intense when cut open.

This year, many families have asked her what fertilizer she used. Now, the oranges from the few families that use this fertilizer are in short supply. I never thought that the grayish-white bitter oranges that I ate so much of when I was a child would become a hot commodity.

"Business seems to be getting better and better!"

"That's right, I'm your own brother, would I ever harm you, hahaha. Just wait and see, the news will officially announce the results of the poisoning case in a couple of days, and it has nothing to do with our oranges."

"That's good, that's good!"

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes. Gao Siming, saying it was too late and he needed to rest, prepared to hang up. However, Gao Zimin reminded him:

"Ah Ming, you're not getting any younger. Now that you're healthier, hurry up and find a wife! If you're still single when I come back after all this busy work, I'll throw away your little cats and birds. You're wasting your life on frivolous things!"

"Yes, sister! I'll go find a fairy godmother tonight!"

The eldest sister is like a mother; all parents in the world are the same. After hanging up the phone, Gao Siming looked out the window. "Kittens and birds are so nice. You don't have to guess what they're thinking. Just give them food and shelter and treat them well."

...

The seven-day National Day holiday came to a hasty end. After a fierce outbreak on the first day, the mass poisoning cases quickly disappeared. Everyone rationally believed that this should be a coincidence.

Even though the Anti-Poisoning Division and the food management department did not provide any convincing answers, with the end of the holiday and the pressure of busy work, people's attention shifted from the poisoning case to other aspects.

After a busy Golden Week holiday, on Saturday, the first day back to work, Xiong Yingjun confidently told everyone at the work summary meeting.

"After six days of effort by the Stability Division, it has been confirmed that the mass poisoning incident that occurred on the 1st of this month was indeed an accidental event!"

Although the cause of the poisoning has not been found, at least no similar incidents have occurred since the 1st.

On Saturday, the official statement from the Anti-Dangji Bureau appeared on the headlines for just over half an hour before being overtaken by a series of other trending news stories.

The general public loves fresh, juicy gossip, so this old news that happened last week is no longer worth paying attention to.

The most popular topic online right now is: Working on Saturdays? Is this kind of time-off system necessary?!

During working hours, Xintiandi Pedestrian Street, one of the commercial centers of Tanhua City, also becomes deserted.

In the middle of the pedestrian street, a milk tea shop in a prime location was closed, with a handwritten transfer notice posted on the door.

After personally posting the notice, Huo Houming was extremely depressed. From the 3rd until the end of the holiday, his milk tea shop in this prime location had only sold a total of 8 cups of milk tea!

Moreover, these eight customers were all livestreamers who had been exploding their shop. After learning that the milk tea sold in their shop might be deadly, they flocked to the shop like flies smelling excrement.

For other shop owners, it wouldn't matter if all the visitors were haters, as long as there was traffic and it could bring in revenue for their shop.

But Huo Houming is different from the others. He is now heavily in debt and wishes he could hide on Mars.

These past few days, he's been risking his life by working as a shop assistant. He's been terrified that if these livestreamers who are trying to extort money from his shop reveal that it's his store, he'll lose his last bit of assets.

With nowhere else to turn, Huo Houming could only think of transferring the shop. With this money, he thought he could live a little better.
