Chapter 231: The Scammer Old Master Gong

Translator: Lonelytree

At the entrance of National Union Supermarket in City Z, a large group of people gathered early in the morning.

National Union Supermarket was the largest supermarket in the city. Usually, there would be many elders waiting at the door to wait for the mall to open. They would spend their energy fighting for promoted items.

However, for these two days, the people waiting outside the entrance were all young people.

At this moment, a group of men and women were whispering to each other. “I failed to get the strawberries yesterday. I have to get them today!”

The strawberries sold out too easily. They had to fight to get them.

The people of various age groups crowded together. If it weren’t for the good security at National Union Supermarket, there might have been a fight already.

“Why do you think these strawberries are so delicious? “A young girl who was only eighteen or nineteen years old tilted her head and held her chin as she asked in puzzlement. “I’ve never eaten such delicious strawberries before.”

“Same here.” The girl beside her said, “They look green, but they’re so juicy, flavorful, and very fragrant. It’s a pity that I only managed to get two of them yesterday.”

“However, it’s crazy that one strawberry costs 15 RMB.” Someone objected about the price.

“It’s expensive, but people still fight over them.” Someone said. “If I’m the boss, I’d do the same.”

“The door is open! We need to hurry!” The youngsters ran as fast as they could. However, they were surprised that the elderly were close behind them. They were very agile.

“Dafei, you’re fast. Grab five strawberries for me!”

“Five for me too!”

Dafei flew towards the fruit section. When he got there, there were already people fighting over the strawberries. To prevent damage, National Union Supermarket had packed the strawberries nicely. The strawberry was packed in cardboard boxes. There was one strawberry in each box.

The strawberries were so delicious that even the normally frugal elderly were fighting over them. Their grandchildren loved the berries so much. They would skimp on themselves, but they’d do anything for their grandchildren!

Yan Ruyu, who was leaning against the railing on the second floor, saw the crazy situation on the first floor. The expression on her face was happy.

She said to the middle-aged man beside her, “Dad, I told you that you should listen to me. Even when the individual strawberry is sold in boxes, people are still fighting over them.”

Yan Yihai smiled and said, “Daughter, I really need to thank you. The loss of customers has been a huge headache for me.” Then, he said seriously, “Daughter, you mustn’t leak the location where you brought the strawberries!” Otherwise, it would be stolen by their competition.

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, “Dad, of course, I know about this.”

Yan Yihai nodded.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu said, “Dad, in order to consolidate the connection with the suppliers, I’ve decided to go to the strawberry farm today.”

Yan Yihai frowned and asked, “You’re going there today?”

“Yes.” Yan Ruyu nodded. “It’s still early, and that place is not far from City Z. I want to go there and take a look.”

Yan Yihai nodded. “Okay. But you must pay attention to your safety. Drive carefully on the road, understand?”

“Dad, I’m not a child anymore. Of course, I know about safety!” Yan Ruyu said, “Alright, Dad, I’m going to set off now.”

Yan Ruyu was on the highway when she received a phone call. When she saw the caller ID, her heart suddenly thumped.

If it was possible, she really didn’t want to pick up this call.

Maybe she could pretend not to hear the phone ring?

Yan Ruyu stopped the car and answered the call with a serious and fearful expression.

“Big Brother,” Yan Ruyu said with fear and trepidation, “Why are you looking for me?”

The male voice uttered, “Those strawberries. They are from Taoyuan Village at Xing Yin County, right?”

“Erm… Yes.” The man on the phone said something, and then Yan Ruyu stammered, “What, you want to go to Taoyuan Village too? When?”

“Now.”

“What?” When Yan Ruyu heard that, her heart raised. “Okay, I’m going there too. I’ll meet you there.”

After hanging up the phone, Yan Ruyu let out a deep breath. She couldn’t imagine that her eldest cousin, who was the CEO of a big company, would have time to visit the countryside.

She wanted to go to Taoyuan Village to relax and talk with the strawberry farm boss, but now she’d be on tenterhooks.

She was afraid.

Her eldest cousin was a monster. Not only was he prettier than women, but he was also the scheming and ruthless president of the Yan Corporation.

Even when he was just standing there, he would make people feel terrified.

Ever since she was young, whenever she saw her eldest cousin, she would tremble from the tip of her toes to the ends of her hair.

But since her eldest cousin had stated he was going to Taoyuan Village and she had told him she was also going there, there was no backing out.

Perhaps she was too nervous, the car stalled! She had been driving for decades. This was the first time this had happened.

Yan Ruyu hammered the steering wheel a little impatiently and started the car again.

This time, the car started.

“What? Old Master, you want to buy the rest of our strawberries at 200 RMB per catty?” Xiao Zhengyang looked at Old Master Gong in shock. Old Master Gong was munching on the fruit salad like a child.

This fruit salad was made by Xiao Lingyu. Other than strawberries, there were other fruits as well.

Old Master Gong used a spoon to scoop out one piece after another. “This fruit salad is too delicious. Who made it. Was it you, Qiuying?”

Chen Qiuying smiled and said, “No, it’s Yu ‘Er. I don’t know how to make a fruit salad.”

Old Master Gong nodded and said, “I knew that Lingyu is a capable girl.”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” It’s just a fruit salad.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Elder Gong, it’s best that you eat less of the sweet fruits. Plus, the salad is cold. It’s not good for your stomach if you eat too much of them.”

Old Master Gong immediately said, “It’s fine. I feel that my body is getting better and better. I eat well and sleep well. I’m full of vigor and vitality.”

Everyone, “…”

‘But old man, you’re 80 years old already. You have to watch yourself.’

At this moment, Xiao Wang braced himself and said, “Old Master, you really can’t eat anymore. If eldest young master finds out, he’ll deduct my bonus.”

Old Master Gong said unhappily, “Your bonus has nothing to do with me.”

Everyone, “…”

Regardless, Old Master Gong eventually put down the bowl. He gracefully wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Following that, he said, “Your family’s strawberries are wonderful. Plus, my grandson isn’t short of money. He can afford the strawberries.”

Everyone, “…”

‘But your grandson must have worked hard for the money too, right? How can you splurge on his behalf like that? And did your grandson know about this?’

Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang looked at each other. ‘The chief is really trying to scam the eldest young master. Instead of bargaining, he came in and gave the Xiao Family a very high price directly! He purposely offers extra money for the strawberries. If the eldest young master knew about this, he’d probably cry.’

Old Master Gong continued, “Zhengyang, how many strawberries do you have left? That grandson of mine said that no matter how many there are left, he will buy all of them. You will not lose any profit. I guarantee you.”

Everyone, “…”

Old Master Gong had already offered them 200 RMB per catty. How could they suffer any losses?

Xiao Zhengyang looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked, “Lingyu, how many strawberries are left in the field?”

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “We’ve sold around 23,000 catties over these past few days. The production of six Mu is around 40,000 catties. So we should have around 20,000 catties left.”

The normal production of strawberries per Mu could reach up to 5,000 to 6,000 catties. However, her strawberries were cultivated with spring water. The fruits were big, and the plant had a high production.

Old Master Gong commented with interest. “Girl, your strawberries grow so well!”

Xiao Lingyu said with a smile, “It’s all thanks to you, Old Master.”

Old Master Gong, “…”

Everyone, “…”

Why was that?

“If you hadn’t become good friends with Little Light and fed him so many fruits and vegetables, Little Light wouldn’t have produced so many natural fertilizers for us.” Xiao Lingyu explained.

Everyone, “…”

“…” Old Master Gong smiled and said, “Oh, I didn’t know I was involved! In that case, I have to purchase the strawberries at 250 RMB per catty. After all, I was involved in the production.”

Everyone, “…”

250? Sir, are you doing this on purpose?

Xiao Zhengyang’s jaw dropped in shock when he heard Old Master Gong’s offer.

Then, he reacted and said, “Old Master, you don’t have to do this. Old Master, since Young Master Gong wants to buy the strawberries. We’ll sell them at a normal price.”

Old Master Gong waved his hand and said heroically, “It’s alright. That little brat of mine has money, and there’s nowhere to spend it. I might as well spend a little for him.”

Xiao Zhengyang was really embarrassed.

‘Elder Gong, we all know that you have money.

‘But no matter how rich you are, you shouldn’t spend it like this, right?

‘250 per catty is really too much.’

Xiao Zhengyang refused and shook his head, “No, Old Master. We can’t take advantage of Young Master Gong like this. Yu ‘Er, what do you say?”

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, “Since grandfather is willing to offer this price, then I’ll accept it.”

Everyone, “…”

Grandfather Gong, “…”

What?

250 RMB per catty and 20,000 catties. That was a large sum of money. Although, for someone of Old Master Gong’s status, 250 RMB per catty was not that expensive. He had once tried a strawberry from Country R. It cost 5888 RMB each. It was not as delicious as Xiao Lingyu’s strawberry.

“Yu ‘Er!” Xiao Zhengyang was obviously a little disapproving. He said sternly, “We have to be honest. How can you take advantage of the old master like this?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Father, in business, one has to put profit first.”

“Xiao Lingyu!” Xiao Zhengyang raised his voice, and his tone was very stern. “How can you say something like that? Are you a racketeer? You’ve only been in a business for a short while. When did you pick up this bad habit?”

Xiao Lingyu did not say anything.

Xiao Zhengyang was a little angry.

Seeing this, Mother Xiao immediately persuaded, “Zhengyang, if you have something to say, say it properly. Don’t be angry.” Then, her expression changed as she turned to Xiao Lingyu, “Xiao Lingyu, how can you do this? Old Master has been very nice to us. How can you take advantage of Old Master like this?’

Everyone, “…”

Father Xiao and Mother Xiao really belonged together.

However, Xiao Lingyu said, “The old master himself offered 250 RMB per catty. I only accepted it.”

Mother Xiao was so angry that she went to grab the feather duster near the television.

When Old Master Gong saw it, he immediately stopped her and said, “Qiuying, you need to calm down. Lingyu is pregnant.”

Mother Xiao put down the feather duster, but her expression was still very stern.

Old Master Gong was embarrassed.

He was the one who had suggested buying the strawberries at 250 RMB per catty, but somehow, he caused the girl to be scolded by her parents.

Then, he said very seriously, “Zhengyang, Qiuying, you shouldn’t scold the child. I was the one who offered the price, and she merely accepted it. This is the nature of business. There’s a huge market for your strawberries, so naturally, they have to be sold at a higher price. In fact, your strawberries are the best in the whole country, perhaps even the whole world. I’d buy them at 2500 RMB per catty, much less 250 RMB per catty.”

Ah?
