Luo ili pointed at the empty shelves and said.
"Haven’t you seen it all? Sold out completely, it’s a situation of supply not keeping up with demand."
"And let tell you, these fruits and vegetables have dicinal properties. Many custors have minor issues like headaches and colds, which surprisingly healed after eating our produce. We have an employee with kidney stones in our store. He ate a cucumber and his stones dissolved on their own. Can you believe how miraculous that is?"
Zhang Xiaoshan pondered upon hearing this.
The seeds left by the Immortal dical Sect were extraordinary, and coupled with the watering of the Spiritual Liquid, it was no surprise they had dicinal uses.
With that in mind, even selling at a high price was actually reasonable.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan was still sowhat uneasy as he said.
"Our county is impoverished. Isn’t it inappropriate to sell at such high prices?"
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, Luo ili smiled faintly and said with great appreciation.
"I knew you were a good person, but we are doing business here, and we must make a good impression with our first shot."
"Just think about it, the sky-high price of fruits and vegetables, isn’t that a good selling point? It won’t take many days for it to spread throughout Wanshan County, even beyond. I’m also planning to advertise."
"Besides, our produce is indeed good. We can’t sell ourselves short. If we priced them the sa as the ordinary ones in the market, fewer people would be willing to buy them."
"Moreover, the most important thing is that our current production is very low. Even though the yield from your backyard is high, the area is too small."
"As the saying goes, ’Scarcity makes sothing more valuable,’ and that’s just the way it is."
"Later on, when our production capacity increases and our reputation is established, we can naturally lower the prices."
Luo ili’s words left Zhang Xiaoshan speechless.
He looked at Luo ili and smiled.
"What are you laughing at?"
Luo ili felt awkward under his gaze.
Zhang Xiaoshan said.
"It seems you’re really cut out for business. From now on, you can handle everything regarding the agro-trade company on your own, and I’ll just wait at ho to lose money."
"What, you want to be a kept man?"
"Aren’t you giving any?"
Zhang Xiaoshan wrapped his arms around Luo ili’s waist and pinched her on the buttock.
"Pervert, you’re rotten to the core."
Luo ili threw Zhang Xiaoshan a flirtatious glance and pulled him upstairs.
On the sofa of the second-floor office, the two began a fierce battle.
Daylight gradually dimd.
The sky turned pitch black.
Zhang Xiaoshan stayed in the office with Luo ili that night.
In a solitary cell at the detention center.
An old man with white hair was curled up in the corner.
It was Wu Damming.
Staying here could definitely be described as each day feeling like a year. These past weeks felt like a decade to Wu Damming, every day was filled with unbearable pain, especially since Jia Lanhua had filed for divorce, which was a heavy blow to him.
He had been in a daze these days, completely disoriented.
"Suspect Wu Damming."
Then a shout ca from outside the door.
"Here!"
Wu Damming chanically lifted his head to look at the door.
A duty jailer unlocked the door.
"Eat up."
The jailer brought several boxes of fast food and laid them in front of Wu Damming.
Roast chicken, beef, a vegetarian platter, and a small bottle of white wine.
"Are you sending on my way?"
Wu Damming gawped at the food.
The jailer complained.
"Send you on what? Soone from above has sent special instructions for your al, and here’s so good news – the six million has been recovered, and your case is about to be transferred to the court."
"Finally, we’re getting rid of you sir. I’m practically becoming your waiter."
Zhang Xiaoshan had a word with Luo Yihua, who was very accommodating. He not only arranged a single cell for Wu Damming but also ensured he got out for fresh air every day, and even assigned a jailer specifically to Wu Damming, providing ample cigarettes and special als.
Apart from the lack of freedom and heavy psychological pressure, his treatnt was poles apart from other suspects.
The jailer had long since run out of patience.
"Ah, the money’s been recovered?"
Wu Damming looked up at the jailer in astonishnt.
"Yes, yes, yes, eat up. Finish quickly, I have other things to do."
"Oh, okay."
Wu Damming was very excited.
He opened the al boxes.
"You, have so with ."
Wu Damming looked at the jailer ingratiatingly.
The jailer, a seasoned hand.
"Humph, at least you’re sensible, old man."
The two of them ate and drank, and half an hour later, satisfied and full, the jailer got up, picked up the trash, and walked out.
Only Wu Damming was left alone in the cell.
"Recovered, as long as the money’s recovered, that’s good."
"All my life I’ve been respected in the village, and now in my old age, I must bear a stigma, but with the money found, my sins are lessened."
"This way, I have no burdens left, and I can depart in peace."
"A life spent as a joke, it’s ti to go, ti to go."
Wu Damming walked to the washbasin.
He picked up his toothbrush.
He placed the handle end of the toothbrush into his mouth.
The experiences of his lifeti flashed through his mind like a movie, never stopping.
Eventually, his face revealed a desolate smile.
He violently knocked his mouth against the wall.
"Crack."
It was the sound of his trachea being punctured.
Wu Damming then fell to the ground, blood flowing continuously from his mouth.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
He didn’t cry out for help, instead he quietly closed his eyes.
