Our horoscopes are compatible. Does this mean we are destined to be together?
Li Xuran said: "It is natural, pollution-free and has no pesticide residues. It uses pure farmyard manure."
Jiang Lin took a big bite of the vegetables and said with a smile, "After hearing what you said, I think the vegetables are much more fragrant."
Song Yifan said: "One morning I saw the aunties and grandmas in the village carrying black manure water to water the vegetables in the fields. The fragrance spread ten miles away."
"It has no lethality. We brothers are now immune to all kinds of feces and urine. If we are extremely hungry, we can squat next to the dry toilet to eat." Jiang Lin said proudly.
The boss moved his chair slightly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his bag and cracked them while listening to the gossip. Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you do for a living, young men?"
"We are farmers who grow crops in the village," Xiang Chuzhe said, holding up a handheld camera.
The boss pointed at their muddy shoes and said, "The clothes and shoes are very similar, but the faces are not quite the same. You look like the stars on TV. Farmers' skin is not that white and delicate. I thought you were the kind of farmers who specialize in making short videos." The boss's implication was obvious, and he scratched his head a little embarrassed.
The young men were so happy about the compliments that they couldn't help saying with a smile: "Boss, this is not your fault. Our looks make it easy for people to misunderstand that we are not serious farmers." After saying that, Jiang Lin deliberately tilted his head slightly to show off his golden right face and clear jawline.
The boss was speechless for a moment. Pei Xu pulled the hat on his clothes and led him out: "Go away, stop being so beautiful."
A group of people walked in a mighty procession on the street. Xiang Chuzhe, holding a camera, attracted many people's attention. They occasionally stopped and looked at them in confusion. Pei Xu heard them talking: "Where are these young people from? Are they broadcasting live?"
Some old people who were keeping up with the fashion and using smart phones even opened their cameras to take pictures of them. Jiang Lin silently put on his hat. Pei Xu touched him with his shoulder: "What? Are big stars shy?"
"Brother is a professional cameraman, but I don't trust their shooting skills. They don't know how to shoot at any angle or move the camera, and they don't know how to retouch photos. They just take a photo and post it to the family group and short video platforms. The key is that their traffic is pretty good. Isn't this damaging to my image?"
"Who are you calling me brother in front of? Don't you have any idea of your own body size?"
Jiang Lin tilted his head to look at him in shock: "Body size?"
Pei Xu paused for a few seconds, then quickened his pace with a guilty conscience. Jiang Lin immediately took out his mobile phone to look at the flower stall owner's post. The comment discussing their body shapes had been pushed to the top of the list, with more than 200 replies!
"Pei Xu, if you read this post and still pretend to be ignorant, you are a repressed person!" Jiang Lin said in his heart.
The farm machinery store was filled with the smell of pesticides. Pesticides and fertilizers were piled up in a mess on the shelves. Several commonly used farm machinery were parked in the large warehouse at the back. Pei Xu squatted down to check the machines. The boss introduced them enthusiastically from behind: "These rotary tillers are all new machines I just replaced last year. You can rent them with confidence! They are efficient and easy to operate. Even if you have no operating experience, you can get started quickly."
Others took photos with their phones, and Li Xuran praised: "These two big wheels are amazing! I can't imagine how cool it is to sit on them and operate them!"
Song Yifan said, "When we get back to the fields, you have to take a few more photos for me. I want to make a movie!"
Cheng Enyue patted the seat, shaking off a few small pieces of mud. The boss took the opportunity to exaggerate and sell: "This machine was just returned a few days ago. Many people need to plow the fields to plant potatoes during this period. You should hurry up to rent it."
Jiang Lin walked behind Song Yifan and said, "As the company's most authoritative CFO, it's time for you to bargain."
Song Yifan pointed at himself in disbelief: "I'm going to bargain? Do you think I have this skill?"
"Save as much as you can. It's up to you whether you can add two more eggs to the tomato scrambled eggs for the next meal."
Pei Xu decided to rent four medium-sized mounted rotary tillers, and the boss quoted a price of 200 per unit per day.
The teenagers consciously counted their expenses on their fingers.
Song Yifan asked in a low voice beside him: "Brother Xu, is this price expensive according to the market price?"
Pei Xu said weakly: "In Beijing, this price is considered a good deal for us. I'm not sure about the price here."
In order to add two more eggs to each meal, Song Yifan bargained in half as soon as he opened his mouth and said confidently: "Boss, we will rent four machines, one hundred per day."
The boss immediately refused with a clear attitude: "Young man, you can go all over the town to buy a rotary tiller at this price even in the county."
Song Yifan asked: "The price is 200 per car per day. Do you include the fuel?"
The boss was amused and said, "200 a day is already a good deal. If you include the oil, I will have to pay you 800 a day."
Song Yifan said stubbornly: "Since the fuel is not included, I think we can get a better discount if we rent 4 vehicles a day."
"So how much do you say?"
"Let's discuss it."
The group of people whispered in the corner of the door for a while, and Song Yifan confidently went in to quote the price: "Boss, we want to rent for at least five days, 140 per unit per day."
The accomplices behind him looked at each other in surprise, as Song Yifan did not play by the rules.
The boss looked embarrassed and said, "140 a day is really not enough! These are new machines."
Song Yifan stepped forward and kicked hard, shaking off a few more pieces of mud. "Boss, this machine is definitely not the new one you bought last year. I can add another 10 yuan at most. If it doesn't work, forget it. We can rent a few machines from other stores."
The boss folded his hands, thought about it awkwardly, and then gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay, 150 per day, pay a deposit of 5,000 first."
Song Yifan curled his lips and said, "Boss, please give us a smaller deposit. We don't have that much money on us."
"It can only be 1,000 less at most, no less."
Song Yifan turned around and winked at them, and received a unanimous OK gesture.
"Okay, let's sign a lease."
The boss laughed and said, "We are a small place and we don't have that much expertise. We don't sign lease contracts. I have been running a farm machinery store in town for more than ten years. It's an old brand and trustworthy."
Pei Xu handed the black shoulder bag to Song Yifan and put 4,000 yuan neatly into the boss's hands.
The boss counted the money again with his fingertips wet with saliva, and said happily: "Give me an address, and I will send the machine to you tomorrow."
Song Yifan confirmed: "We don't have to pay for the shipping of the machine, right?"
The boss looked at the address they wrote down and said generously, "I'll pay for the shipping fee for this distance. You guys are really good at making a living."
Song Yifan sighed, "There are many brothers in my family, so I have to save money to buy eggs."
The boys generously bought a dozen local eggs from an old lady on the street corner, and Song Yifan happily carried the eggs home.
Jiang Lin started to brag: "You seemed to be bargaining timidly, but in fact you hit the nail on the head! Didn't we negotiate for 170? We were all shocked when you said 140!"
Xiang Chuzhe imitated Song Yifan's tone and said, "I don't know how to bargain. I'll just ask for 140." This caused everyone to laugh.
Song Yifan playfully pinched the back of his neck with one hand, "My family is poor! I also want to wave my hand and say 200 is 200! If I don't offer 140, how can the boss have room for bargaining? If I offer 160, it will definitely go up."
Pei Xu gave him a thumbs up, "You are worthy of being our chief financial officer. I feel relieved that you are in charge of the company's accounts!"
Li Xuran asked: "When are we going to register the company?"
Pei Xu said, "I will go back today and ask Master Qi to introduce me to a master to calculate which day is an auspicious day."
Jiang Lin said puzzledly: "This is not the start of construction, there is no need to calculate the date."
Pei Xu said solemnly: "This is the first step for us to set sail and make a fortune. We must choose an auspicious day for good luck!"
Cheng Enyue said with a smile: "It's the same in Guangdong. Business owners like to plant money trees in their companies. They also ask masters to calculate their fortunes for bidding and some big projects. It seems that our company has the working style of a big company, so we are bound to become bigger and stronger!"
Pei Xu was so coaxed that he said happily, "Yeah, big bosses are all superstitious and they just want good luck."
Cheng Enyue nodded and agreed: "From now on, you will be Boss Pei, and we as directors of the company will also be honored!"
Xiang Chuzhe said: "Hearing your description, I seem to have seen the grand scene of us going to Hong Kong to ring the bell for listing."
Jiang Lin said: "We have to be bold in our imaginations about the future. We still have to have small goals. What if we achieve them?"
Cheng Enyue smiled and said, "One hundred million is a small goal, right?"
Li Xuran was excited and said: "If I make 100 million, I will return to the domestic entertainment industry and reward myself with a short drama."
Jiang Lin mocked him: "Is that all you can do? One hundred million is enough for you to make several low-budget short dramas. Whether it becomes a hit or not is another matter."
"That sounds a bit tragic." Cheng Enyue added, "You were a complete failure in the domestic entertainment industry, and you made 100 million yuan by farming. But you went back to the domestic entertainment industry and squandered the same 100 million yuan. You're still a failure after your return. What the hell are you doing?"
There was another round of laughter in the car, and Li Xuran said self-deprecatingly: "I have a miserable life, hahahahahaha."
Pei Qi took them to find a local master, and the auspicious day for registering the company was set for three days later. Even the people were arranged, and only Jiang Lin could accompany them.
Jiang Lin asked boastfully, "Pei Xu, do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"It means I am lucky for you."
Pei Xu subconsciously said, "A lucky wife, right?"
Jiang Lin's hands stopped fastening his seat belt, and Pei Xu realized what he had said. A subtle awkward atmosphere lingered between the two.
Pei Qi spoke at the right time in the back seat: "It means that your horoscopes are compatible. People often say that a couple's horoscopes must be compatible, and the same is true for doing business. If your horoscopes are compatible, your business will grow bigger and you will make a fortune!"
When they heard this, their ears turned red and they didn't dare to look at each other. Jiang Lin silently fastened his seat belt and Pei Xu started the car neatly.
Jiang Lin glanced at him from time to time, and then looked at the fleeting scenery outside the car window, thinking to himself: "Pei Xu, are you speaking unintentionally or are you testing me?"
While checking the road conditions, Pei Xu looked at the rearview mirror. Jiang Lin in the mirror had his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or resting.
"Our horoscopes are compatible. Does this mean we are destined to be together?" Pei Xu asked in his heart.
