Shen Ci shook his head, "I want two thousand jin, and I’ll pay you twenty yuan per jin."
It was already nice of her to share the goods with him, so she couldn’t let herself be taken advantage of on the books.
Meng Chuyue nodded vigorously, "I won’t haggle over the price with you, I’ll save the biggest ones for you when the time comes."
How could she be so nice?
After lunch, Meng Chuyue asked Shen Ci to wash the dishes, "You go wash the dishes, I’ll go fetch the goods."
Shen Ci wanted to accompany Meng Chuyue, but he thought that Meng Chuyue’s boss might not like him, so he didn’t interfere further.
Meng Chuyue drove directly to a mansion five miles away, which she had bought recently. She parked her Jetta in the garage, set the alarm, and after a half-hour nap in the space, drove a small truck loaded with two thousand jin of space fruit back to the Fruit Store.
After arranging the goods, she immediately wrote out two promotional signs.
The first read: "Premium fruit for twenty-five yuan per jin, high school graduates can enjoy a 20% discount with their exam admission ticket, limited quantity, rush to purchase."
The second read: "During the high school exams, all regular fruit will have a 30% discount."
While writing the signs, she asked Tong Wen and Xia Ping to pick up their parents to help.
"Tell your parents, for the next day and a half, one hundred yuan per person, come quickly if they’re willing to help."
During the exams, the Tong Family and Xia Family’s stores weren’t busy, so how could they refuse such an opportunity? They came over immediately.
Once the signs with red paper and black lettering were put up, business immediately boomed.
This batch of fruits was noticeably bigger than the previous ones, and those who had bought before did not find it expensive.
Those who hadn’t bought before, after tasting it, didn’t say anything further.
After the afternoon exams began, many parents of students came in after seeing the signs.
The admission tickets were taken inside the school by their children, they couldn’t buy now, but that didn’t stop them from coming in to inquire.
Once inside, they couldn’t believe it: those scientists really outdid themselves, the fruit was incredibly delicious.
Indeed, as Shen Ci had said, Shen Wenhao had sent people to keep watch here.
However, due to the crowd buying the fruit, they failed to notice Shen Ci who was among them; they just immediately reported to Shen Wenhao that the premium fruit had gone on sale.
One of Shen Wenhao’s subordinates angrily said, "Hey... She dared to deceive us? Let’s just go and smash their store."
Shen Wenhao waved his hand,"No need, it’s normal to deliver the goods ahead of time; don’t jump to conclusions. Send two new faces to buy some of each type of high-priced fruit."
Shen Wenhao’s subordinates came back quickly.
Not only did they bring back a large box of fruit, but also concerning news, "Sir, the fruits there are really delicious, and they truly didn’t intentionally rip us off.
I also saw Secretary Wu, Secretary Zhao, Han Xiao, Liu Er, Huang Yuan and some big shots’ subordinates including Second Young Master Han, Han Xiao, buying this... um... premium fruit.
Han Xiao even warned me not to make trouble, saying his father rarely likes a type of fruit and to not mess it up for everyone."
Eating an incredibly delicious banana, Shen Wenhao squinted his eyes, "Didn’t expect they had such strong backing. But Second Young Master Han is right, good stuff is rare, we should protect it. Go, pull the men back, and tell everyone not to cause trouble."
The math test wasn’t finished until 4:30 in the afternoon.
Unlike at noon where they had to rush for lunch and naps, now they had more time. Han Muyang and Zou Xiaojun were chatting with Shen Ci as they walked towards the school gate.
Meng Chuyue followed calmly behind them.
Due to the crowd, Han Muyang and Zou Xiaojun didn’t notice any intimacy between the two.
Together, they reached the school entrance, captivated by the bustling scene at the entrance of Jimei Fruit Store.
