Chapter 75 - 75 Loading the Trucks in the Middle of the Night
75 Loading the Trucks in the Middle of the Night
Gao Wenwen did not want Shi Zuoliang’s watermelons, no matter how much the couple begged.
At a little after ten o’clock that night, two large trucks arrived.
Each large truck could carry thirty tons.
However, watermelons were fragile and the trucks could not be filled to full capacity. There were also various protective measures.
!!
The entire village got busy.
All the watermelons that had been ordered in the afternoon were immediately harvested by the villagers. Then, they were placed by the roadside, selected, weighed, and loaded into the car.
Other than the watermelons from Gu Qingming’s three uncles, Gao Wenwen would try her best to accept the rest of the watermelons from Stoneback Village. If she really couldn’t, she would reject them on the spot, just like she rejected Shi Zuoliang’s family.
However, in the entire village, only two or three families had their watermelons rejected.
Most of it was due to the watermelons having a greater amount of pesticide residues. It was useless even if the sweetness reached.
Fortunately, this was based on the standards set by Gao Wenwen and below the national standard.
Therefore, their watermelons could still be sold.
It was just that there was no high price, nor was it so convenient. They could only choose to sell it in town or county and work harder in the future. Another alternative for these farmers was if another watermelon buyer came to buy their watermelons, but the price was definitely incomparable to what Boss Gao had given.
Although they felt uncomfortable and might have complaints, they were not like Shi Zuoliang who could be thick-skinned and shameless and force others to accept their watermelons.
However, Boss Gao had said that if they still planted watermelons next year, she would come over next year to buy them as long as they met her acquisition standards.
Just this sentence caused the entire village to get stoked and become lively.
They decided that they would definitely plant watermelons well next year. They would learn how to plant watermelons from Shi Lichun. In this way, their watermelons next year could be sold for four or five dollars. In the future, they would be rich just by planting watermelons.
At the thought of this, all the villagers were tempted. They were extremely excited and couldn’t wait for the next year to come.
Even Shi Zuoliang’s family had decided to plant watermelons well the next year. They had disgraced themselves this year and would definitely fight to regain their dignity with their next harvest.
Stoneback Village had to load hundreds of thousands of kilograms of watermelons overnight. Even if the entire village’s labor force came out, it would not be enough.
Some people had no choice but to go to the outer village to invite some people to help.
The villagers of the outer village were shocked to hear that the watermelons in Stoneback Village were sold for such a high price.
They quickly ran to ask Gao Wenwen if she could also buy their watermelons.
Gao Wenwen refused.
She said, “I have enough watermelons this year.”
The villager asked indignantly, “What about next year? Next year, we’ll plant watermelons like Shi Lichun. Will you come to collect them?”
Gao Wenwen shook her head in amusement and said, “Let’s talk about it next year. We have our own set of standards for buying watermelons!”
Originally, their company had its own planting base. Their produce was planted according to the International Standards for Non-Hazardous Organic Foods.
However, the company was huge. The farm could not satisfy the operations of the entire company.
Therefore, they signed cooperation contracts with some famous farmers.
However, as the company developed and the business prospered, the things produced by the large planters could no longer satisfy the entire company’s operations.
Therefore, the company would have a development model to buy out.
Although Gao Wenwen had bought more than ten thousand catties of watermelon at once, this was not considered much when it was transported to the company and distributed.
But Gao Wenwen would not buy it casually. Therefore, she could not agree to next year’s matter casually now.
If she agreed now and these farmers planted some watermelons, they might not meet the standards. Something would definitely happen.
The villagers of the outer village did not get a clear answer, but they made up their minds to plant watermelons, just like the people of Stoneback Village.
… .
Weighing, loading, and paying. This series of procedures did not require Gao Wenwen’s personal supervision.
After handing over the matters here to her subordinates, she followed Gu Qingming back to her uncle’s house.
As soon as they got home, Gu Qingming gave Gao Wenwen a thumbs up.
“Wenwen, not bad!” Gu Qingming smiled and said, “You can actually deal with these villagers’ pestering easily.”
“Wretched girl, are you making fun of me?” Gao Wenwen pouted and said with a smile, “You’ve been in Sea City with your father for a few years. You’ve become an old hand in the business world. Are you still not allowing me to grow up?”
They were both heirs to the family and had to undergo all kinds of training from a young age.
Gu Qingming suddenly stared at Gao Wenwen seriously. She was dressed in red and looked lively and elegant.
Red had always been Gao Wenwen’s favorite.
When she was young, Gao Wenwen would even force Gu Qingming to wear red, making Gu Qingming cry and causing Gao Yang, her old father, to teach Gao Wenwen a lesson.
Gao Wenwen didn’t understand at the time. She just wanted Mingming to wear clothes in her favorite color. She couldn’t fathom what was wrong.
When people liked someone, they wanted to share their favorite things with that person.
However, the two of them were still very young and did not understand each other’s intentions.
“Wenwen, long time no see. I missed you so much!”
Gu Qingming suddenly hugged Gao Wenwen. For her, it had been several years since she’d seen this best friend who had grown up with her.
Gao Wenwen opened her arms and said helplessly and in confusion, “Damn girl, why are you suddenly so emotional? What do you mean long time no see? Didn’t we just meet a few days ago?”
At this point, she paused and said with a dissatisfied expression, “Girl, since you miss me, why didn’t you call me these few days, or even send me a message? You almost abandoned me for that man back then.”
Gu Qingming let go of Gao Wenwen and said with a smile, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s my fault. I’ll apologize to you now, okay? Don’t be angry, right?”
As she spoke, she poked Gao Wenwen in the waist with her finger.
“Pfft!” Gao Wenwen couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, since you know you’re in the wrong, I’ll forgive you generously. However, if you want a man again and ditch me, your childhood sweetheart, I’ll cut ties with you.”
She had no choice. Since she was young, she had protected and doted on such a girl, so no matter what she did wrong, she would choose to forgive!
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, yes, definitely not. I was blind in the past, making everyone worry and sad. In the future, I don’t want a man anymore, just you. As long as you are fine, I’ll be happy.”
“Damn girl, don’t spout nonsense,” Gao Wenwen said very seriously. “Our Mingming is so beautiful and capable. In the future, you will definitely find someone who is compatible with you. That man will definitely dote on you and love you. He won’t let you suffer any grievances.”
