Greenhouse planting area.
Today is the first day that the Yan brothers are supplying fruits and vegetables to Shengli Supermarket. Due to promotional needs, they need to pick a total of 800 jin (400 kg) of fruits and vegetables today and deliver them before 7:00 a.m.
The Yan brothers set off for the greenhouse planting area at three o'clock in the morning. Along the way, there were only the rustling of leaves, the chirping of insects, and the pattering of their footsteps.
"Brother, these 800 jin of fruits and vegetables today will earn us almost 6,500 yuan more than if we sold them to the vegetable vendors! As long as they don't make us destroy the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse, this cooperation is not bad."
Yan's younger brother spoke in a cheerful tone and walked with a slightly bouncy gait, indicating that he was in a very pleasant mood.
“Indeed, let’s make as much money as we can while we can. Who knows if Victory Supermarket will change its mind?” Yan’s older brother chimed in with a smile.
The two walked to their greenhouse, chatting and laughing. They took out their keys, unlocked the door, and lifted the curtain. Their expressions froze instantly.
Yesterday, the greenhouses were lush and full of fruit, but now they are a complete mess.
The once fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables are now reduced to withered branches, fallen leaves, rotten fruit, and spoiled vegetables lying quietly on the ground.
The Yan brothers stared wide-eyed, their eyeballs seemingly about to pop out of their sockets, their mouths agape, their faces blank and incredulous as they looked at the scene before them.
"What...what's going on?!"
A sense of foreboding crept over them; a chill ran down their spines, their muscles tensed instantly, their breathing became rapid and irregular, and their hearts began to pound wildly.
The two Yan brothers staggered toward the neighboring greenhouse. In their panic, they tripped and fell, their faces and bodies covered in mud and grass clippings, looking extremely disheveled.
After finally reaching the second greenhouse, I shakily pulled out my key and unlocked it. The scene before me was exactly the same as before.
Then the third, fourth, and fifth
Of the two brothers' eight greenhouses, only two were intact. The third one appeared to have been partially destroyed when something happened, causing the vandals to leave, leaving only half of it intact.
After inspecting all the greenhouses, the last breath that had sustained them went out, and they almost simultaneously collapsed to the ground, shakily reaching into their pockets three or four times before finally managing to pull their phones out.
Lu Shengnan's residence.
Before going to sleep, Lu Shengnan leaned against the headboard, holding a pen and paper and outlining the schedule for tomorrow's activities.
Although she knew the process by heart, it was of great importance, so she checked and searched again and again for any errors or omissions.
After finishing the inspection, she intended to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but as if by some strange twist of fate, she reached for the laptop on the bedside table, pressed the power button, opened the browser, and typed in 'Xu's Fast Food Restaurant'.
The computer browser search yielded significantly more results than the mobile browser search, with the most eye-catching being a message released by the Shanghai Convention and Exhibition Center.
The following hotels participated in the catering bidding for this expo. Please report any violations you find.
The name of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant appears right below this headline!
Lu Shengnan's gaze flickered, landing on a hotel name in front of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant—Black Swan Hotel.
So they were involved too!
Her gaze then fell on the four large characters "Welcome to report" in the title, but she looked away the next second.
What does this have to do with me? There's no need to get involved.
I closed my laptop, put on my earphones, got into bed, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.
Ring ring—ring ring—
The ringing of the telephone broke the silence of the bedroom. Lu Shengnan, who was fast asleep, frowned, turned over in annoyance, pulled the quilt up to cover herself completely, and tried to escape the annoying ringing.
After ringing for a while, the phone finally stopped. Just as Lu Shengnan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to sleep, the phone rang again.
How annoying! Who is it in the middle of the night?! Disturbing my sleep instead of sleeping!
He reached his hand out from under the covers and fumbled around for a while before finally finding his ringing phone. He groggily looked at the caller ID; it was the Yan brothers calling.
I glanced at the time on my phone screen again; it was 3:13 AM.
Why are you calling me at this hour? Has something happened?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Lu Shengnan suddenly woke up, sat on the bed, and pressed the answer button.
"Mr. Lu, it's all over, everything's over."
"What's over? What happened? Please describe it in more detail."
"The greenhouse has been destroyed, and we can't supply 800 kilograms of fruits and vegetables!"
Lu Shengnan's mind went blank for a moment. Her mouth opened slightly as if she wanted to ask something, but her throat was clenched so tightly that she couldn't make a sound.
The greenhouse is destroyed? Eight hundred kilograms of fruits and vegetables are gone?
What should we do about today's event?
Her fragmented thoughts, still reeling from the shock of the news, quickly returned, and her brain began to work again. She frantically considered how to respond.
We are still contacting greenhouse growers in other areas of Qianhai Town and have not yet signed contracts. With less than five hours left before the event starts at 8 a.m., it is definitely too late to communicate now.
Suddenly, an image of a greenhouse appeared in her mind; it was the greenhouse she had partnered with Xu's Fast Food Restaurant.
Although I was rejected when I tried to communicate with these greenhouse growers last time, I can try talking to the owner of Xu's Fast Food Restaurant! Maybe he's a good starting point!
Lu Shengnan's mind raced, and in a short while she came up with a contingency plan. Her mind calmed down, and she regained her usual composure.
