Zhao Kang stared at the pale ceiling in the ward with empty eyes and a look of despair, not moving at all.
When Huo Qiqi arrived at the hospital, the four people from the Li and Zhao families were all there. No matter what the other three asked, Zhao Kang didn't say a word.
Huo Qiqi partially entered the system space with her consciousness. "Xiao Ling, is there any major problem with Zhao Kang's body?"
"Host, the system has scanned Zhao Kang's body. Aside from a knife wound to his abdomen, he has no other external injuries. The wound has been bandaged and sutured. He just needs to rest. There are no other problems. I suspect he has a psychological problem."
Seeing Huo Qiqi come in, Zhao Kang's eyes, which were like a pool of stagnant water, moved, but he still stared blankly at the ceiling without saying a word.
Huo Qiqi guessed that an accident occurred when Zhao Kang was about to succeed as the heir to the family head.
Huo Qiqi's eyes flashed as she turned to look at Li Jun, who had been eating an apple. She was a little puzzled as to why Li Jun loved apples so much. Without anyone noticing, she plucked two apples from the interstellar apple tree and handed them to him. "Li Jun, what happened to Zhao Kang? Do you know what happened?"
Li Jun looked at the two big red apples in Huo Qiqi's hands, his eyes shining. He took them happily and put them directly into his mouth. Wow, they were so sweet and tasted so good. He ate them while shouting that they were delicious. He didn't know the answer to Huo Qiqi's questions and kept shaking his head.
Zhao Kang, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard the sound of Li Jun chewing an apple, and suddenly felt that Li Jun was really too much.
Zhao Tianlai, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said, "Boss Huo, the only person here who knows about this should be Lai Fu, the one who brought the young master to the hospital. Let me ask Lai Fu. By the way, where is Lai Fu?"
Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Tianlai finished speaking, a familiar voice came from the corner, "I'm coming, Housekeeper Zhao, I just went to the bathroom. Is there anything you need from me?"
"Doctor, I just wanted to ask you what happened to your eldest young master? Why is he like this now?" Zhao Tianlai grabbed Lai Fu's collar and said sternly.
Lai Fu stumbled and fell to the ground. He looked up and saw the gloomy face of Butler Zhao. He was so scared that he burst into tears and sobbed, "To answer Butler Zhao, it was not the master who summoned the young master home, but the lady. I don't know what they talked about or what happened. By the time I found out, the young master had been stabbed in the abdomen and was unconscious, and the lady had disappeared."
Zhao Tianlai was shocked when he heard this and muttered to himself, "They are all my children, they are all my children, ah..."
Seeing Zhao Tianlai's expression and combining it with Lai Fu's words, Huo Qiqi understood where the problem lay. She turned her eyes and said to Li Jun, "Mr. Li, how about this apple? Is it delicious?"
Li Jun nodded, swallowing the last bite of apple. He looked at Huo Qiqi eagerly, "Boss Huo, I wonder where you bought this apple. It's so fresh and tastes so good. To be honest, I was having a sore throat, but now I feel much better."
Huo Qiqi hadn't expected the apples in the system space to be so magical. It seemed that as long as they were used well, these fruits could be sold at a good price. She looked at Li Jun with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, if you sell the apples I gave you, what price can you get?"
Li Jun's eyes widened upon hearing Huo Qiqi's words. He recognized that Huo Qiqi had apples like these, and he excitedly said, "Boss Huo, regular apples sell for 48 cents per pound this season. Your apples are much better than the ones sold on the market. I think they should sell for at least 3 yuan per pound. If you manage to get them up to speed, 4 yuan is a good bet."
Huo Qiqi was quite satisfied with Li Jun's evaluation of her apples. She suddenly raised her voice and said to Li Jun, "Li Jun, I have two favors for you."
Li Jun patted his chest and said loudly, "Boss Huo, if you have any instructions, just tell me. I will never say a word." He guessed that what Huo Qiqi was going to talk about was related to fruit.
Huo Qiqi glanced at Zhao Kang, who was also lying on the hospital bed. She felt that Zhao Kang had been attracted by the conversation between her and Li Jun. The corners of her mouth curled up, "Mr. Li, first of all, please help me make some connections. Since Mr. Zhao is lying down, you can assign someone else to be responsible for purchasing Chinese herbal medicines and mountain products in the Northeast. If that doesn't work, you can also arrange someone yourself.
The second thing is, I'll give you a pound of apples, a pound of pears, and a pound of oranges, and ask you to help me sell them. How about that? Then I'll give you half of the sales."
After hearing this, Li Jun was completely stunned. If all the fruits were of this quality, he would make a fortune. He decided to sell all the fruits at 4 yuan per catty, no matter what kind of fruits they were. With 300,000 catties of fruits, the sales revenue would be 1.2 million yuan, and half of the sales revenue would be 60,000 yuan, which was already a lot.
When Li Jun was about to agree, Zhao Kang sat up with a thud and said breathlessly, "Boss Huo, you can't get rid of me. I've thought it through. I want to make money. Give me all 300,000 kilograms of fruits. I guarantee that I can sell them for 5 yuan per kilogram." He wanted to sell these things to rich people. If they didn't have cash, they could use small yellow croakers, antiques, etc.
Seeing Huo Qiqi's excited look, Li Jun quickly assured her, "Boss Huo, don't listen to the nonsense of the injured Zhao Kang. I can also sell it for 5 yuan per catty." The friendship between the two was overturned.
Huo Qiqi watched Zhao Kang and Li Jun bickering with amusement. It seemed Zhao Kang was fine now. As expected, making money was the best medicine to eliminate worries. She coughed and said seriously, "How about this? 300,000 kilograms of fruit, 150,000 kilograms each. Whoever sells the best this time will get a bigger share next time."
Zhao Kang knew Huo Qiqi was doing this to boost his own fighting spirit. He smiled at Huo Qiqi and said seriously, "Boss Huo, thank you. I won't be depressed anymore and will definitely live a good life."
Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Huo Qiqi got up and left.
Huo Qiqi left, and a figure hurried to Zhao Kang's ward. "Master, something bad has happened. Your mother has been taken away by the police. It was the master who called the police."
A flash of sadness flashed across Zhao Kang's eyes. After this near-death experience, he understood a lot. Since his mother thought he was not as good as Zhao Jian, he would work hard with Huo Qiqi and become the real pillar of the Zhao family.
After sending someone to report the incident, Zhao Kang asked the dazed Li Jun, "What's wrong with you? You look so distracted?"
"Boss Huo, I seem to have forgotten to leave a few extra apples for me. My life is so miserable. When the fruit arrives, I will buy 1,000 kilograms of fruit myself, not 2,000 kilograms."
