Chapter 13: Debts Must Be Repaid! Hiring More Employees!

Zhang Lin returned to the farm and immediately drove the three-wheeled cart to the warehouse, loading basket after basket of Sunlight Roses onto it.

He decided to deliver the 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses to Lin Tuo first.

Just as he finished loading the 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses onto the cart,, his received a message message message on on him a a message on on We We500 pounds of Sun peaches in the warehouse.

He opened the message and was surprised to see that it was Fu Yao, the high school girl, who had sent her feedback.

"Boss, your Sunlight Roses are absolutely delicious! I've never tasted such good Sunlight Roses before!"

Along with the feedback, she had attached a selfie of herself holding a bunch of Sunlight Roses, her sweet smile lighting up the screen.

Zhang Lin hadn't expected Fu Yao to actually send feedback, and her sweet smile as a high school girl could truly stir the heart of a 26-year-old man.

"Alright, received it!" Zhang Lin replied, feeling a bit flustered.

Since the girl had taken it seriously, he he new products were to be available for wholesale, she couldn’t go back his word.

.

On the other side, screen, Fu Yao, upon receiving Zhang Lin’s reply, put down the Sunlight Roses she had been holding.

The fruits from Lishan Farm were simply too delicious, whether it was the sweet peaches or the Sunlight Roses. If they had new products, she really wanted to be the first to try them,,. However, she she knew whether her feedback would be selected.

all.

In her mind, many people must have participated in the event, and she didn’t know how to use fancy words or take good photos, so she felt she had no competitive edge.

all.

"Can we eat now?" Lin Xin, who had been waiting by her side, asked, eager to indulge in the delicious Sunlight Roses again.

...

After sending the message to Fu Yao, Zhang Lin drove the 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses to Lin Tuo.

Lin Tuo had been waiting with his team, and upon seeing Zhang Lin, he warmly welcomed him and had his people unload and weigh the goods.

Soon after, Zhang Lin received the payment for the 500 pounds of Sunlight Roses:

"Account ending in ... Income: 20,000 yuan, Balance: 114,457.52 yuan."

When Zhang Lin returned to the farm, Guo Zhen had already returned to the prefab house and reported, "Boss, I’ve surveyed the 500-acre rapeseed planting area and will determine the location for the water reservoir tonight. As for the detailed plan, it will take some time, but I’ll get it done as soon as possible."

"Good!" Zhang Lin nodded and instructed Liu De to arrange a room and provide some living essentials for Guo Zhen.

"Understood, Boss!" Liu De responded immediately.

After giving the instructions, Zhang Lin rode his scooter home.

Just as he entered the neighborhood, he heard someone call out to him, "Zhang Lin!"

He saw a young man in a Meituan delivery uniform riding an electric scooter over.

"Zhang Dong, you’re out?" Zhang Lin was surprised to see him.

"Yep, I’m out. Didn’t expect to run into you while delivering a single order. If you have time, let’s grab a drink… never mind, let’s just sit down and chat!" Zhang Dong sighed, recalling some unpleasant memories.

Zhang Lin watched Zhang Dong’s departing back and sighed. His childhood friend had once been so full of spirit, but he had been in prison for three years after a fight following a night of drinking.

No man could stand by and watch his girlfriend being harassed, but Zhang Dong, under the influence of alcohol, hadn’t controlled his strength and ended up severely injuring the other party.

As a result, Zhang Dong spent three years in prison, lost his job, and had a criminal record.

Of course, the guy who had been drinking and thought he was invincible, insisting on dragging Zhang Dong’s girlfriend to drink with him, didn’t fare well either. Normally, such an injury would have warranted a much longer sentence, but due to the provocation and the presence of surveillance footage, Zhang Dong’s sentence was lighter.

Both sides suffered, and their lives were ruined.

Zhang Dong’s family had always been good to him. His father had once run a farm, and the other family had lent him 50,000 yuan without hesitation.

Even after his father’s death, when Zhang Lin and his mother were in dire straits, the other family hadn’t mentioned the debt.

Otherwise, the creditors would have already caused the the door at his’s door, demanding repayment.

their debts.

This was one of the reasons why Zhang Lin felt compelled to repay his father’s debts.

The kindness received must not be returned with resentment.

He checked his balance: 114,457.52 yuan. Repaying 50,000 yuan to Zhang Dong’s family would be no problem.

.

However, repaying the debt wasn’t as simple as just handing over the money.. He had multiple creditors, and none of them had been repaid yet. Given their kindness, they wouldn’t have any objections, nor would they bring it up at this time.

If Zhang Lin were to pay off one creditor and not the others, it would create tension and dissatisfaction, no matter which one he chose first. After all, even children fight over who gets the first candy. Fundamentally, these situations are no different. Therefore, the best approach is to wait until he has enough money to pay all the creditors at once, ensuring the matter is handled smoothly and fairly.

Currently, he can wholesale 1000 pounds of sweet peaches and 500 pounds of sun roses every day, This thinking, he won not take a align Zhang soon align to less quickly..

creditors quickly accumulate. these money soon.

With the the the paid, the debts.

to pay off the creditors, he decided to head home.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Zhang Lin immediately headed to the farm. Liu De, as usual, had already started loading the the the trucks. 1500 pounds of sweet produce each day. three trips. The all, the tricycle could only carry 500 pounds per trip, the process was taking too long. the time. Thus, he decided to buy two more second-hand tricycles or a small truck to streamline the process. This way, Lin Dawei, Lin Dayou, Liu De could each drive one, the vehicles, delivering the produce in in one go.

As for a large truck, it wouldn't be suitable for the farm's narrow roads and all, and it was also too expensive, so he ruled it out for now. Zhang Lin hopped on his scooter and headed back to You City, where he found a used car dealership specializing in this type of vehicle.

"Boss, looking at cars?" The salesperson greeted him enthusiastically. "Let me introduce you to these.. They guarantee they handle the load, no problem, they're all money-making machines!"

Zhang Lin chuckled at the sales pitch. These salespeople always referred to cargo trucks as "money-making machines." But could they really make money just by transporting goods? That was highly unlikely, as the path to wealth was much more complicated.

The dealership had plenty of used vehicles,. Zhang Lin spent a good amount of time and selected two 70% condition small trucks, with reasonable mileage. One cost 9000 yuan, the other 8000 yuan, including registration. Without further ado, he signed the contract and paid 17,000 yuan, leaving him with a balance of 87,957.52 yuan.

.

However, when he returned to the farm, Liu De had just finished delivering the sweet peaches and sun roses. Shortly after, Lin Tuo's payment also came in.

"Your account ... received 44,000.00 yuan, balance 131,957.52 yuan."

Zhang Lin entered the prefab house, and Guo Zhen approached him. "Boss, I've already determined the location for the 500-acre rapeseed field's water reservoir, which will be about 1000 cubic meters. Before the final plan is ready, we can start digging the trenches. Once that's done, we'll line the edges with cement and bricks to channel the water."

Zhang Lin frowned slightly. Digging trenches required physical labor, and Guo Zhen, being a technical worker, was not physically suited for such tasks. Liu De and his team were already excellent laborers, but the land development was approaching 100 acres.

Developing 100 acres of land would trigger a milestone reward, which was the fastest one he could achieve at the moment. After that, it would take 1000 acres of land to earn another milestone reward. As for the second milestone, which involved earning a profit, he would need to make 1 million yuan to achieve it.

Therefore, he decided to recruit two more laborers to dig the trenches, allowing Liu De and his team to focus on developing the land to 100 acres and secure the milestone reward.

With this in mind, Zhang Lin accessed the recruitment market in his mind and spent another 15,000 yuan to hire two more farm workers.

【Congratulations, you have spent 15,000 yuan to recruit 2 ordinary farm workers for a one-month employment period. The workers are materializing...】

Two beams of light appeared, and moments later, the two farm workers materialized, along with two contracts on the desk.

"Boss, what do you need us to do?" The two workers asked in unison.

Zhang Lin instructed them directly, "The farm needs an automated irrigation system, so we need to dig trenches for the water reservoir. Guo Zhen will show you the location."

"Understood, boss!" They both replied in unison.

Guo Zhen, being a game-recruited worker, was already accustomed to the game's mechanics and didn't find their materialization strange strange.... him him all.0 the workers, done without delay, he the them to start the task.
