“Stop!”
Qiao Zhixia didn't want to go into the city, but she encountered someone jumping into the river on the way.
She jumped out of the car and ran over quickly. When she reached the river, the woman's shoulders were already submerged in the water.
Fortunately, her current physical strength is beyond that of an ordinary person, so the resistance of the river water is not worth mentioning.
She pulled the woman out of the river as if she were walking on flat ground, before she was completely submerged in the river.
"Let me go and let me die! I have no way to survive..." The woman was still struggling when she was dragged ashore by Qiao Zhixia and the train driver.
Obviously, she really didn't want to live anymore.
Until she was thrown to the shore, she lay on her back on the pebbled beach and cried in despair.
Qiao Zhixia squatted down and pushed away the hair that was stuck to her face. Only then did she see clearly that the woman in front of her was about the same age as Qiao Chudong, about forty years old.
She was dressed fashionably, had a bright and elegant appearance, and had extremely striking features. One could tell at first glance that she was from a big city.
But her face looked very familiar. Qiao Zhixia was sure that she had seen her somewhere when she was a ghost in her previous life.
She thought hard and finally remembered that this girl would be the sales director of a large company in the future and she had seen an interview with her in a women's weekly.
That is to say, even if he didn't save her today, she wouldn't die.
But why would such an elite woman from a big city come here and jump into the river?
But since chance allowed her to save her, she should naturally let her show her value.
Qiao Zhixia asked the driver to wait in the car while she chatted with her.
"Tell me! Why do you want to commit suicide because you can't figure it out? You are still so young and you have a bright future ahead of you!" Qiao Zhixia's words were not just a casual consolation.
She is well aware of how this country will usher in a new era of rapid development in the next few years.
Those women who have suffered so much oppression will have better and better days ahead if they can get through these years.
"No, my life is over..." The woman's clear eyes were lifeless.
"You are not even afraid of death, so why are you afraid of living? Don't you know that it is better to live than to die?"
Perhaps she finally calmed down, the woman told Qiao Zhixia her name and the reason why she wanted to commit suicide.
The girl's name is Xu Xiaolan and she graduated from Guangzhou University.
She comes from a wealthy family and her parents are well-known figures in Guangzhou.
But she didn't expect that she was not their biological daughter. Just when she was about to marry her fiancé, her adoptive parents' biological daughter suddenly found her.
From that day on, her adoptive parents seemed like different people and started to make things difficult for her.
In order to protect the interests of their daughter, they not only forced her to break up with her boyfriend, but also forced her to marry an old man.
She would rather die than surrender, and simply left her adoptive parents' home to make a living on her own.
But they were unwilling to let her go. They did not allow any industry to accept her or give her a job opportunity, forcing her to go back and get married.
She went to her boyfriend for help, but unexpectedly she witnessed her boyfriend making love with her adoptive parents' biological daughter on the sofa.
She was repeatedly hit, so she tried various ways to get information about her biological parents from her drunken adoptive father.
Her biological parents lived in Huangyan Village next to Jingyang Village. She originally wanted to find her relatives to gain their affection, but she didn't expect that her biological parents would marry her to a fool from the same village for a small gift.
She refused to agree no matter what, so her biological parents kidnapped her and took her to the idiot's house, stripped her naked and locked her up with the idiot.
She found an opportunity and ran away. When she came to the river, she became more and more desperate and decided to die.
After hearing Xu Xiaolan's tragic story, Qiao Zhixia couldn't help but sigh.
She thought she was miserable enough, but she didn't expect this person to be no worse.
But I'm not too surprised. In this era, there are many girls who grow up without being oppressed.
"Who doesn't have a few scumbags around him? Whose life isn't a mess? Are you willing to die like this?" Qiao Zhixia looked at Xu Xiaolan and asked seriously.
Xu Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and shook her head. How could she be willing? But what should she do?
"Since you are unwilling, I will give you a chance to control your own destiny. Do you dare to try?"
"...What opportunity?" Xu Xiaolan looked confused, but there was a glimmer in her eyes.
Qiao Zhixia didn't answer immediately, but took out an apple from her bag and handed it to her.
“Tsk, tsk?”
Xu Xiaolan hesitated for two seconds, but still took it. After taking a bite, she couldn't stop eating.
"Is it delicious?" Qiao Zhixia asked with a smile.
"Yeah, it's delicious." Xu Xiaolan answered truthfully.
Qiao Zhixia continued, "I'm in the agricultural product business. I can give you a stable job and free you from your suffocating family, but you have to help me sell these delicious apples to the neighboring counties."
Xu Xiaolan was stunned: "Do you really dare to hire me? My adoptive parents and fiancé are not ordinary people. They know that you provide me with a job, and they will use their power to suppress you."
"I'm just a farmer, what do I have to be afraid of? But you, since you're not even afraid of death, why don't you give it a try? Maybe with some effort you can change your humble and humiliating life?"
Xu Xiaolan thought about it, and finally made up her mind. In order to control her own life, she wanted to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll give it a try. Thank you for giving me the chance."
Qiao Zhixia patted her shoulder and said, "You can do it. Besides having faith in my apple, you also have faith in yourself."
"good……"
So, Qiao Zhixia took Xu Xiaolan to the city. Qiao Chudong changed her into dry clothes and made her ginger tea to ward off the cold.
Xu Xiaolan's eyes were sore and her voice was choked with sobs: "Thank you~"
"What's wrong with her?" Qiao Chudong looked confused.
Qiao Zhixia joked: "The Queen of Revenge is reborn..."
Qiao Zhixia introduced her Jingyang vegetables and new fruits, and asked her to help out in the store for a few days to become fully familiar with the products before going out to the market.
Xu Xiaolan listened very carefully and made a detailed note of the different flavors of each product, their special uses, and the lowest price.
The prices of Qiao Zhixia's fruits are a bit high, so if they are sold in retail, they may not have a large sales volume. Vegetables are necessities, so it doesn't matter if they are a little more expensive.
But fruits are different. Given the current macroeconomic situation, only a limited number of people can afford to eat expensive fruits regularly.
However, it can be packaged into gift boxes or fruit baskets, focusing on high-end groups and hospitals in government agencies, and trying to get on the holiday welfare list of state-owned units.
Qiao Zhixia expressed her views on the sales of fruits. Xu Xiaolan took notes quietly. She secretly admired Qiao Zhixia in her heart, saying that she was worthy of being the gold medal salesperson.
Qiao Chudong did the math and thought about how to match the items in the gift box in a way that would look presentable without affecting profits.
Qiao Zhixia is well aware of the saying "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb".
Free tastings of all fruits are also provided, and store staff will promote them at the door during off-peak hours.
After she made arrangements for Xu Xiaolan, she took the truck driver to the sapling market to purchase the first batch of fruit tree saplings.
She only selected two-year-old seedlings, so that even if the harvest period was advanced due to the irrigation of spiritual spring water, it would not arouse excessive suspicion.
She plans to plant some apples, tangerines, pears and oranges before the New Year, and then plant a batch of peaches, plums, cherries, pomegranates, grapes, etc. after the New Year...
Her goal is to have seasonal fruits available all year round.
She first selected 100 apple seedlings, pear seedlings, tangerine seedlings, and orange seedlings, and asked the truck driver, Master Yang, to take them back.
Then she bought 600 of each and brought them back using her own farming space, thus saving a lot of shipping costs.
I will go to register my company tomorrow, and in the evening I can try to set up a stall and sell vegetables at the busiest night market in the city.
By the way, let’s try to see if her fruits sell well.
The current first-class Guoguang apples have not yet broken through one yuan per cookie, and their price is 1.5 yuan per cookie.
An apple weighs one and a half yuan, about two yuan, while tangerines and oranges cost 1.2 yuan each.
As usual, I went to the Jingyang Fruit and Vegetables sign and tasted before I bought.
Her biggest reliance and belief is that few customers who have tasted them refuse their taste.
"Wow, the apples are so pretty. How much are they?"
Qiao Zhixia didn't expect that her first customer would be a foreigner.
