Wang Ruoqiu was at a loss as to what to do after being rejected by the female customer, and immediately pouted and looked aggrieved.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Nervous." The female customer was inexplicably angry at her aggrieved and humiliated look.
"Do you have a new one of this color and this number? If you do, give me one. If not, forget it."
Wang Ruoqiu immediately came to his senses from his grievance, turned around and went to find clothes for her.
"I don't want you to take it! You have no hygiene. You will make it all dirty soon." The female customer said without hesitation.
Chen Jidong was about to go find clothes for the man himself, but Wang Ruoqiu suddenly said something shocking:
"Hey, lesbian, I'm a pregnant woman. Is it wrong for me to want to eat some oranges? I didn't mean to dirty my clothes. I've already apologized. What else do you want? Do you really want me to die?"
The female customer's eyes widened after hearing her shocking words, and then she said, "Are you crazy?" and turned around and went to the next store.
The leg that Chen Jidong had just taken a step forward with suddenly stopped in place. All sorts of complicated emotions surged into his throat, but he was unable to utter a single word.
But Wang Ruoqiu couldn't hold it back anymore: "Wuwuwu~Brother Dong, she scolded me, wuwuwu..."
A good business deal just went wrong.
Chen Jidong tried to suppress his emotions and spoke to Wang Ruoqiu in a softer tone:
"Go wash that dirty sweater! Be more careful next time. We are in the service industry, so we shouldn't bother with customers."
Wang Ruoqiu was unhappy when she saw that he did not comfort her, but she knew in her heart that she was also wrong. Seeing that he did not blame her, she forgave him this time.
So Wang Ruoqiu took the sweater upstairs and put the whole sweater into the basin.
When Chen Jidong discovered that the clothes had shrunk to half their size due to shrinkage, his suppressed emotions finally burst out.
"Qiuqiu, why did you wash the clothes?"
"Didn't you tell me to wash? I wanted to soak it first and then wash!" Wang Ruqiusi didn't think there was anything wrong.
"This is a wool sweater, it will shrink! And I asked you to clean the places you made it dirty, not wash the whole thing. How are you going to sell it like this?" Chen Jidong's tone was more irritable than ever before.
Wang Ruoqiu bit her lower lip tightly, tears of grievance falling down: "How should I know! Isn't it just a piece of clothing? Why are you so mean to me? Do you not like me anymore?"
"...I." Chen Jidong choked and felt inexplicably tired.
When he was with Qiao Zhixia before, he didn't need to worry about these little things at all, she could handle them all.
Why can't Wang Ruoqiu do it?
When Xia Hongmei came back from outside, she noticed that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
For the sake of her eldest grandson, she scolded her own son without even asking any questions: "Dongzi, what's wrong with you? Don't you want to get married? You can't bully Qiuqiu, she's pregnant! Besides, her family is from a big place, not like Qiao Zhixia who let us control her. You can't do anything stupid!"
Chen Jidong said nothing and sighed deeply.
He wondered if his mother would still like Wang Ruqiu as always if she knew that the in-laws in the city whom she had been thinking about had asked his son for a betrothal gift of 3,000 yuan.
Xia Hongmei had no idea what Chen Jidong was thinking, so she immediately went to comfort Wang Ruqiu.
Ever since Wang Ruoqiu started dating Chen Jidong, she has always been pampered and coaxed by him. This is the first time she has been yelled at by him.
The gap in my heart is difficult to calm down for a while.
"Well, if he doesn't write me a letter of guarantee, I won't forgive him..."
Qiao Zhixia handed over sales to Xu Xiaolan, accounting to her sister, and shipping and other chores to her cousin. Now she is solely responsible for planting to ensure sufficient supply.
Thousands of fruit tree seedlings have been planted. In order to prevent any villains from doing harm, she had all other entrances and exits blocked, leaving only one way in and out.
She also asked Uncle Gao to build a new hut, and she wanted to hire a watchman to look after the fruit for her.
From now on, except for a few specific management levels, no one is allowed to enter without her permission.
Xu Xiaolan was indeed an intellectual from a big city. In just a few days, she had established sales outlets in the four surrounding counties.
Not only that, she also negotiated with five state-owned factories to include their Jingyang fruit and vegetable gift boxes in the list of benefits for the Spring Festival.
At present, the Jingyang Fruit and Vegetable brand has already established a firm foothold in H City. The next step is to go to the provincial capital, and then all over the country...
The sudden increase in order volume put pressure on both transportation and production in a short period of time.
Even Yaya knew to squat in the yard and dig the soil to help her aunt grow vegetables.
Qiao Zhixia had just talked to the village party secretary two days ago and contracted about two acres of land.
The original contractors of these fields are now mostly lonely elderly people or disabled people who have basically lost their ability to work.
Although these people do not need to pay public rations, it is still difficult for them to maintain their living standards.
After she took over these fields, she could not only ensure their food and clothing, but also promote the economic development of the village, so Secretary Chen was very happy to facilitate this kind of cooperation.
Early that morning, under the organization of Party Secretary Chen, a large group of villagers flocked to Qiao Zhixia's yard.
They all came to help grow vegetables.
Secretary Chen looked at the noisy crowd and immediately stood on a stone block to ask them to keep quiet.
"Everyone please be quiet and listen to our boss Qiao's speech."
"꾿~~Isn't it just selling vegetables? Do you really think you are a green onion? And the boss? Bah! Shameless!" Chen Dacui stood at the back of the crowd with her arms crossed and a look of disdain on her face.
The women who used to surround her and mock Qiao Zhixia with her are now alienated from her.
Because they want money more than gossiping about others behind their backs.
Qiao Zhixia stood on a chair and said loudly to the villagers who had come: "Thank you all for coming to support us. I have good news to announce to you today. After applying to the relevant departments last week, I established the Jingyang Agricultural Development Company. I called everyone here today to recruit a group of suitable formal employees from the vast number of villagers..."
This remark caused a huge uproar, and even all the villagers under Secretary Chen's command were stunned.
Everyone was talking about what kind of powerful company this was.
After much discussion, it was the educated youth who had taken root in the village who gave everyone a simple explanation.
The villagers’ understanding was simple: the company was something more impressive than Chen Jidong’s clothing store.
"Due to the company's development needs, we are temporarily in need of recruiting two people to be responsible for planting. The basic requirements are that they are under 55 years old, in good health, have proficient planting techniques, are obedient, and can come at any time when called."
"With so many requirements, we still need you to come whenever you're called?" There was a lot of discussion in the crowd.
"How much can you give?" the loud-voiced woman in front asked, and the scene immediately became quiet.
"For all formal employees, we will sign an agreement and pay them monthly, NT$150 a month."
"One hundred and fifty a month? Isn't that higher than the salary in the city?"
The monthly salary of 150 yuan made the crowd excited, and some people were even excited to call back their children who had gone out to make a living.
When many people were eager to try, they heard Chen Dacui say loudly:
"What's so high? Have you forgotten that you only gave five dollars a day before, and now you give one hundred and fifty a month? The money is getting less and less. I'm afraid the bank is going to go bankrupt, right?"
