Chapter 55 Why do we need to calculate so clearly?
Li Xingye killed the last zombie in the city with an expressionless face, then took the crystal core handed to him by Vine and put it into his bulging pocket.
But she said aggrievedly: "Wanwan, sometimes I feel like I'm useless. You've helped me so much, but every time you encounter something like this, I can't be by your side to protect you.
"But I can really help you solve this matter. Don't look for that octopus... No, Xiahou Yu, okay?"
Chi Wan blinked. Why did she hear a scent of... tea in Li Xingye's words?
No no no, Chi Wan, calm down. Li Xingye is a big boss in the apocalypse. He can take away a bunch of zombies with just a wave of his hand! How could he possibly chat in tea?
She must be worried that she owed Xiahou Yu a favor and it would be difficult to repay it in the future, so he was a little too considerate.
Chi Wan immediately said: "Don't worry, Brother Xingye, I understand. I didn't plan to ask him for help, I just thought that maybe I could sell orchids through him~
"And you've obviously helped me so much, how can you say that about yourself! Liu Dali back then, Song Yangming and the others some time ago, and those orchids... No, why do we have to settle it so clearly, aren't we friends?"
Chi Wan guessed that it might be Li Xingye’s previous experiences and malice in the apocalypse that made him a little unconfident about normal interactions between people, so she immediately comforted him.
As Li Xingye listened to Chi Wan's comfort, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously. Especially when she said that they didn't need to calculate too much, the suffocating feeling that she had felt because of Xiahou Yu finally dissipated a little.
As for Chi Wan saying that they were friends now, he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Chi Wan was still somewhat distant to him now, and it was enough for him to regard him as a trustworthy friend.
If one day, he can really overcome the obstacles between them, it won't be too late to let Chi Wan know his feelings.
If he couldn't overcome this in this lifetime... then it would be the best outcome for Chi Wan to just happily treat him as a friend.
Li Xingye collected his thoughts and returned to his usual tone: "Wanwan is right. We don't need to be so clear about what's going on between us. I found some orchid seeds for you and put them in the flowerbed. See if you like any of them. There are also some small gold nuggets, which should be more convenient to use."
He now knew that Chi Wan could only keep things that were too valuable and could not really turn them into cash, so when he found gold bars, he would simply cut them into small pieces, or find a fire-type mutant to melt them into bracelets, etc., so that Chi Wan could cash them out easily.
Hearing that Li Xingye's tone of voice had finally returned to normal, Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Hey, thank you, Brother Xingye. I knew you were the best~"
Li Xingye smiled quietly, and the last bit of unhappiness disappeared. No matter how many times he heard Chi Wan act coquettishly towards him, it seemed like the first time he heard it, and a tingling sensation would pass through his heart.
Chi Wan didn't rush to see the orchids, but suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Brother Xingye, our orchard is about to be harvested, and the suppliers in the city will come to collect them. I have discussed with my parents and have agreed to give you half, but you may need to help pick some."
In fact, those suppliers already have their own supply channels, and it is not easy to open a new one.
However, the fruits that have been "enlightened" by Li Xingye are really big and sweet. Take the orange tree that accounts for the largest proportion, for example. The fruits on the tree are almost 1/3 larger than ordinary oranges. What’s even more rare is that the fruit has become bigger, but the flesh is not only not dry, but also juicy and sweet to the heart.
And because of their large size, the total output, which was originally estimated to be 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms, has increased by nearly 1/4 on this basis.
Chi Yuanshan even only brought some sample fruits that were not fully ripe, and photos he had taken of a mountain full of fruit trees of this quality.
After tasting it, the suppliers could no longer say no.
There is even a company that directly decided to help connect with high-end fruit stores and go the premium route, so the purchase price is naturally much higher than normal.
Chi Wan did some calculations and found that this year’s harvest was almost a zero-cost business for their family.
After all, with Li Xingye around, not only fertilizers but also pesticides and the like can be saved, not to mention the manpower costs, which are all zero.
After all, the biggest cost was probably the gas that Chi Yuanshan and his wife spent traveling back and forth between the city and the village to discuss business...
This account directly silenced Chi Wan's family.
Chi Yuanshan adjusted his glasses and suggested to Chi Wan, "Wanwan, remember to ask Xiao Li if they need anything else, such as down jackets, autumn clothes, quilts, etc. Don't save money that should be spent."
Song Yinghe came back to her senses and said quickly, "Yes, yes, and there is one more thing. Ask Xiao Li what he wants to eat or use. Make a list for us. Your father and I will buy it for him tomorrow."
Otherwise, you won’t feel at ease with the money you earn!
Chi Wan: Would you two like to cool down and take a look at the 37-degree weather tomorrow?
Besides, compared to the money earned from these fruits, the price of the gold, silver and jade artifacts that Li Xingye gave her directly was more shocking, right? !
She also didn't understand why her parents felt guilty for taking advantage of Li Xingye. After all, the value of the currencies on both sides was not equal...
No, if she keeps thinking like this, even she will feel guilty.
Especially when Chi Wan thought that although the supplier said that he could send a car to pick up the goods, they still had to arrange to pick the fruit themselves, which meant that they would have to ask Li Xingye for help in the end. She swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She could only cough lightly and responded: "I will go and ask, but when the time comes, leave half of the fruit for me, and I will give it to Brother Xingye."
Chi Yuanshan and Song Yinghe naturally had no objection. If it wasn't for the convenience of making more payments, they would have given all the fruits on the mountain to Li Xingye.
After hearing Chi Wan say this, how could Li Xingye refuse?
"Well, just call me when you need to pick them."
After all, he could just let the trees pick the fruits themselves, and it wouldn't take more than a few minutes.
"Okay!" Having solved the biggest problem, Chi Wan happily counted the heads on his fingers: "Then we need to prepare some exquisite gift boxes, give one to the little foodies in the dormitory, one to Grandpa Zhou and Senior Brother, one to Brother Huai'an, one to Sister Xiaoyu, Grandpa Xu... um, and one to Xiahou Yu as well..."
Li Xingye could almost imagine Chi Wan mumbling with joy, but the smile froze on his face before it could fully form.
Zhou Huaijin and his brother had helped Wanwan before, so it was just a gift.
What is Xiahou Yu’s identity and why is he allowed to eat the fruit sent by Wanwan? !
