Chapter 1556: Chapter 1431: Low-Key Affluence
Knowing Song Tan’s current family situation, Zheng Qu entertained without reservation, and during the wait for the dishes, he proactively asked, “Now our province has various agricultural subsidy projects. Have you all applied for them?”
Song Tan nodded, “Our village secretary is very responsible, and we’ve applied for all the necessary ones. Our family has registered both a family farm and a company, and currently, all projects are tax-exempt.”
“Any problems with the seeds? Recently, our province has collaborated with many universities. If you need any high-quality seeds, I can find people to inquire about new varieties from agricultural schools and institutions.”
“Also, if the quality of your crops is good enough, you can exhibit them and get certificates. The product prices will rise significantly, and many businesspeople will proactively contact you…”
Zheng Qu was genuinely wholehearted in helping out.
But…
Song Tan silently waited for him to finish before responding one by one: “There isn’t a big problem with the seeds. We’ve established a collaboration with Professor Song from the Agricultural Research Institute, and currently, all the crop seeds and seedlings are sent from major bases he connected us with.”
This na…
Zheng Qu instinctively looked it up on Baidu Encyclopedia, then fell silent.
So… Do all those in agriculture have such networks now? Our province hasn’t even managed to invite experts of this caliber!
Not to ntion what Song Tan said: “Currently, three students under Professor Song are following up at the farm, making the entire process from breeding to fertilization and later harvesting very scientific, so I don’t have to worry too much right now.”
Last year around this ti, she was so busy running around in circles with her family. But this year, except for family mbers who can’t stay idle, she even had ti to attend a school reunion…
This shows that finding the right person really brings endless benefits!
It’s a pity that Professor Song had so personal matters in the first half of the year and couldn’t co over; otherwise, Teacher Tang teaching Qiaoqiao things like piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting was quite beloved by Qiaoqiao.
She spoke lightly, but Zheng Qu was already numb.
Alright, alright, so there’s an expert stationed there, right? And this expert can even bring in more influential big shots anyti.
He thought of the 211 agricultural university in the province and didn’t know what to say.
“As for the selection… At the end of last year, Professor Song gave us a nomination for the Hou Ji seed selection, and we won a gold award…”
Zheng Qu: …
He took a deep breath, instinctively putting on a standard smile—you know, just in case he might actually lose it later, with a hideous and distorted expression.
“Okay, I understand.”
The Hou Ji Seed Selection is a top-tier exhibition event in the country, although only agricultural professionals usually pay attention to it. For instance, if not for the “revitalize agriculture” slogan that started last year in the province, he wouldn’t even know such a competition existed.
But it is undoubtedly authoritative, and gold award winners can even proceed to send their crops to international exhibitions, where top-tier chefs might actively seek to collaborate, with the exhibited fruits and vegetables fetching prices ten, twenty tis, or even more than the market price…
However, what Zheng Qu didn’t know was that those who ca to negotiate partnerships were all rejected by Song Tan.
The top chefs offered the highest prices, but due to limitations on supply volu, if partnerships were to be ford, she’d likely have to ship countless goods from all over the place daily, increasing labor costs and error rates significantly.
In contrast, soone like Boss Chang, who wasn’t concerned with fa or Michelin ratings but was willing to take the plunge, not only matched the gold award pricing but also didn’t demand troubleso contracts or anything…
He’s the perfect partner.
The only downside is that he’s sowhat like a sparrow’s ntality marrying into a wealthy family, always afraid Song Tan might find a better partner and dump him, so he keeps a close eye…
For example, he knows precisely how many cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks there are at Riverside Beach!
At that mont, Song Tan probably finished talking about these things and sincerely thanked Zheng Qu, “Class president, thank you for considering everything so thoroughly for us.”
No matter if it could be used or not, Zheng Qu was neither arrogantly commanding in a bossy manner nor forcibly altruistic without reason, offering help from an agricultural perspective in all aspects…
This goodwill alone already surpasses many people.
She glanced at Lun Chuan, who nodded with a smile, evidently keeping in mind the separate gift for Zheng Qu.
Huo Xueying, watching from the side, also felt a sense of honor—it proved her boyfriend, being recognized by her favorite friend, showed she had good taste, and she was naturally happy!
She grabbed Song Tan’s hand and firmly advised, “Although you now look good even in a burlap sack, don’t actually dress like a sack! Low-key isn’t trendy anymore, and people are quite superficial now! Dress beautifully! You must dress beautifully!”
Song Tan nodded, taking Huo Xueying’s words seriously, “Alright, alright, rest assured, Lun Chuan has good taste. I’ll take him shopping tomorrow!”
Really?
Huo Xueying turned to look at Lun Chuan’s outfit—quite simple, a slightly thick white shirt with a black short-sleeve underneath, black pants that looked like jeans but not quite, and white casual sneakers…
She couldn’t recognize the short-sleeve made of woven silk and fine-cut white shirt, nor identify the pants made of cashre silk blend and the branded shoes.
Huo Xueying was not well-versed with brands, but good things looked obviously different, from gloss to tailoring. At the very least, Lun Chuan’s outfit was distinctly different from Zheng Qu’s outfit from Hai X zhi Jia.
Besides that, he wore no other adornnt, only his fair, jade-like face and dark, thick eyebrows and eyes, presenting a striking beauty up close.
But none of this affected the perception Lun Chuan projected—
Such a refreshing, youthful, and pure style of dressing!
n who dare to dress like this generally have decent aesthetics, and Huo Xueying slightly relaxed at that thought.
But she had to admit, this pure young man’s style could truly outshine everyone else. Huo Xueying silently watched for a while, trying to imagine the effect by ntally putting Zheng Qu’s head on it…
A mont later, she withdrew her gaze.
Forget it, there is a real difference between a pure young man and an old cucumber with green paint.
However, that said—
“Lun Chuan, who’s older between you and Zheng Qu?”
Lun Chuan smiled, “I’m 30 this year.”
Beside him, Zheng Qu, wearing a grey executive-style jacket with a white shirt inside, exuding a stable and mature vibe, was slowly pouring tea into a thermos cup, almost splitting his face open:
He was only 27 this year!
Lun Chuan seed unaware of the two’s shock, nodding earnestly, “Rest assured, I’ll make sure Tantan makes a perfect appearance.”
So that those old classmates forget her past embarrassnts and awkwardness, and from then on, whenever they think of her, they can only witness her success.
Song Tan raised her hand first, “Let’s establish first, I don’t want high heels! And no makeup.”
Huo Xueying was about to say that high heels could unleash a presence, but then saw Lun Chuan already smiling in her direction, “Hmm, don’t worry, I understand—we’ll keep it low-key.”
Recalling Huo Xueying’s advice, he added, “We’ll aim for that kind of low-key that looks successful and wealthy at a glance.”
It’s sothing he often wrote about and had experience with.
Only then did Huo Xueying nod in satisfaction, “Great!”
