Chapter 12: Can Your Imports Match This?
Chapter 12: Can Your Imports Match This?
Zhang Lin stared at the girl's flushed face, momentarily stunned. Her bashful demeanor instantly reminded him of his first love. He recalled the day in high school when he first whispered the idea of going to a hotel to his first love, who also blushed deeply then. That day was etched in his memory, the rosy cheeks more vivid than any other memory.
Lin Tuo overheard the girl's words and approached with a few peaches. "Little miss, these Sun Roses cost 44 yuan per pound, but we have a special promotion today. Every tenth customer who buys Honey Peaches gets a pound of Sun Roses for free. You're the lucky tenth customer, so you'll get a free bunch."
At his age, Lin Tuo had seen it all. He noticed that President Zhang seemed to know this young girl, and his demeanor was a bit off. He wasn't about to misread the situation. Perhaps President Zhang had a thing for this girl?
Though the girl was young, in today's society, wealthy men often sought much younger girlfriends, right? And the bolder the man, the younger the girl he pursued!
Men were very clear about this, while women often underestimated it, still believing they were valuable even as they aged. They were likely brainwashed by dramas like "The Tyrant CEO Falls for the Divorced Me with Kids" or "A Bunch of Rich Second-Generation Men Fall for the Nearly Menopausal Me."
Little did they know, these plots were just the fantasies of nearly menopausal female screenwriters!
Yes, fantasies!
"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up with surprise and anticipation as she looked at Zhang Lin.
Being the lucky one always made people happy, even if the prize wasn't particularly valuable. Who didn't like a bit of good luck?
Zhang Lin, having been in society for a few years, understood Lin Tuo's intentions. He said to the girl, "Yes, we have this promotion. However, the lucky customer needs to provide feedback after eating the Sun Roses, preferably with a photo of the Sun Roses. You can send it via WeChat... We can add each other on WeChat!"
As he spoke, Zhang Lin pulled out his phone and showed her the WeChat QR code. Yes, just a simple WeChat addition!
The high school girl, still innocent, didn't think much of it and scanned the code to add him. Even girls who had been in society for a while wouldn't overthink such a simple act.
That's why some young fruit and salmon sellers had plenty of beautiful women's WeChats on their phones.
The WeChat addition was successful.
Zhang Lin sent the girl his name and received hers in return.
Fu Yao!
A very pretty name.
However, she wasn't related to his first love. They didn't even share the same surname; his first love was surnamed Lin!
Still, he was surprised by the striking resemblance between the two.
Fu Yao quickly paid for the Honey Peaches, and Lin Tuo handed her the weighed peaches and the free bunch of Sun Roses.
She took the items and earnestly promised to send the feedback to Zhang Lin.
"If your feedback is good and selected, we'll invite you to try our new products in the future!" Zhang Lin promised.
The quality of the feedback would be up to him, of course. This was a small, unspoken thought.
But considering the age difference, he quickly suppressed it.
After Fu Yao left with her fruits, Lin Tuo gave him an ambiguous smile. "President Zhang, you have good taste. The little miss is young, but very lovely."
Zhang Lin quickly responded, "Mr. Lin, you're misunderstanding. It's not what you think!"
"I understand... I understand..." Lin Tuo said with a knowing nod.
"..." Zhang Lin was speechless.
Understand what, exactly?
He didn't linger and returned to the farm.
The deal was done, so he needed to deliver the Sun Roses to the other party first.
…
Fu Yao left the fruit store with a smile, feeling like a lucky charm.
As soon as she stepped into her house, she saw her sister, Lin Xin, lounging in the living room, watching a popular period drama. The show was about a heroine who was buried alive by her husband but was saved by a noble lady who had been cast out of her family. The heroine then took the noble lady's place to return home and seek revenge.
Fu Yao, with a hint of irritation, said, "Lin Xin, it's been a week, and you still haven't gone back? Mom keeps messaging me non-stop, and she's going to start another fight with Dad!"
Their parents had divorced long ago, and her sister had taken their mother's last name. Mom wanted her to visit often but didn't like Lin Xin coming over to their place.
Fu Yao really didn't want her parents to argue over this, but her sister insisted on leaving her fancy city villa to visit this small county all the time.
"Fu Yao, you're actually telling me what to do now?" Lin Xin shot back, looking at her sister with a frown. "What about you, grinning like that? Did you get a boyfriend?"
Fu Yao snorted. "Do you think I'm like you? Falling for some sweet talk and rushing into a relationship? I have no interest in the boys at school; they're all immature fools!"
Lin Xin sighed, her expression complicated. "That's good; early romance never ends well!"
Fu Yao ignored her and walked to the coffee table to put down the fruits she had bought. She noticed a bunch of Sunlight Roses already there and asked, "When did you buy these Sunlight Roses?"
Lin Xin proudly explained, "These are Sunlight Roses that my college best friend picked and sent from Little Days. They cost over 150 yuan per pound, way better than the ones you find in the market. Don't think I don't care about you; I waited for you to come back so we could enjoy them together."
She picked one and held it to Fu Yao's mouth.
Fu Yao opened her mouth to bite it, curious. She had just eaten some incredibly delicious Sunlight Roses and wanted to see how these 150-yuan ones compared.
Lin Xin eagerly asked, "How does it taste? These Sunlight Roses are supposed to be amazing, right?"
Fu Yao tasted the Sunlight Rose and looked at her sister with a strange expression. "Lin Xin, these cost 150 yuan per pound, and you must have been scammed by your friend."
Lin Xin looked puzzled. "How could I be scammed? We were best friends in college. Are these Sunlight Roses not good?"
She took another one and bit into it. "They taste fine, don't they?"
Fu Yao didn't say anything, just took a Sunlight Rose from her bag and held it to Lin Xin's mouth. "Try this one!"
Lin Xin cooperated, biting into it and chewing. She was stunned because this Sunlight Rose was significantly better than the ones she had bought from her friend.
The flavor, the sweetness, the texture—everything was superior.
She understood what her sister meant and asked urgently, "Fu Yao, where did you buy these Sunlight Roses? They must be expensive if they taste this good. They can't be cheaper than 150 yuan!"
Fu Yao rolled her eyes. "You're overthinking it. They only cost about 40 yuan per pound, and I bought them from a fruit store in the South Market. Those 150-yuan ones are terrible. No wonder you fell for some sweet talk and got into a relationship in high school!"
"40 yuan per pound?" Lin Xin's face fell at the price. "What? The 150-yuan Sunlight Roses aren't as good as the 40-yuan ones? My friend really scammed me. They say relationships change after college, but this is too quick."
As she complained, her hand reached into Fu Yao's bag again.
The Sunlight Roses she had bought with such excitement suddenly seemed less appealing, while the ones her sister brought back were the real deal.
Fu Yao rolled her eyes at her sister. This woman deserved to be scammed into a relationship, yet she still worried about Fu Yao falling into the same trap.
