Chapter 45: Trouble!
Chapter 45: Trouble!
Chen He knew something was wrong the moment he saw the sea of rapeseed flowers. The Liyuan Farm's rapeseed flower fields were genuinely stunning, surpassing even the rapeseed flower center in Meizhou at first glance.
Then, he realized the problem. With such a beautiful flower field, the more visitors they attracted, the faster the truth would come to light. If the truth were to be exposed, the money their boss had spent on sabotaging Liyuan Farm would be wasted. Not only would his chances of advancement be gone, but he might even lose his job.
Thinking about how difficult it was to find a job in today's society, he felt even more dejected. He had no interest in admiring the flower fields and could only walk out in a daze.
The entrance and exit of the Liyuan Farm's rapeseed flower fields were not far apart. As he stepped out of the exit, he heard a chorus of complaints from the entrance:
"Why do I have to wait in line just to see a flower field?"
"Exactly, it takes an hour just to let one batch in!"
"..."
The staff, facing these complaints, patiently explained, "We sincerely apologize, dear visitors. Our farm has a limited capacity, so we have no choice but to implement this system. If too many people enter at once, it would ruin everyone's experience. We wouldn't limit ticket sales if it weren't necessary."
The game-recruited staff always maintained a professional smile, no matter how irritable the visitors became. Their courteous explanations left the visitors with no room to vent their frustration.
Chen He heard this and was at a loss for words. This was the reason Liyuan Farm was limiting ticket sales? Because of limited capacity. What a waste of potential.
If they had such a popular attraction at their company, they would have implemented all sorts of measures to capitalize on it. There would be no reason to limit it.
Was the Tourism Bureau of Youcheng city that incompetent? In this situation, they should have approached Liyuan Farm for a partnership, helping to divert visitors and promote Youcheng tourism.
What a bunch of incompetent officials and a lucky farm owner. They were actually limiting the number of visitors.
Damn it!
Other places went to great lengths to attract visitors, yet Liyuan Farm didn't know how to leverage their popularity.
"No, I can't just sit here and do nothing!" Chen He muttered to himself.
At that moment, Zhao Han, who had just started his shift at the Tourism Bureau, sneezed suddenly, feeling inexplicably irritated. Especially when he saw that Liyuan Farm was even more popular online today.
What made it worse was that Liyuan Farm was being criticized for limiting ticket sales.
He knew it was due to the farm's limited capacity, but if the Tourism Bureau had already partnered with Liyuan Farm, they could have shared the traffic and benefited mutually.
"Chen Ting, you idiot!" Zhao Han couldn't help but curse again.
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing it was Chen Shengfei's number, he immediately answered with a smile, "Brother Fei!"
"Get out here, quick!" Chen Shengfei's voice came through.
"On my way." Zhao Han hurried out.
The success or failure of their plan to work with Liyuan Farm depended on today.
Outside, he saw Chen Shengfei in his Mercedes-Maybach and quickly got into the passenger seat. "Brother Fei, I'm counting on you to put in a good word with Mr. Zhang."
Chen Shengfei could only awkwardly say, "I'll do my best, but I've only met Mr. Zhang three times!"
He started the car and drove out of the Tourism Bureau, heading toward Liyuan Farm. The 20-minute drive was not long, and they soon arrived at the farm's parking lot.
Upon arriving at Liyuan Farm again, Chen Shengfei looked at the bustling crowd of visitors in surprise. "So many visitors in just one day?"
Zhao Han explained, "Over 5,000 visitors are expected today, and Liyuan Farm is limiting ticket sales due to capacity issues."
"Wow, that's impressive!" Chen Shengfei was genuinely amazed. Which farm could achieve this in just three days? None, except Liyuan Farm!
Then, he looked at Zhao Han in astonishment and teased, "Your Tourism Bureau is really incompetent. They didn't even take advantage of the early warning and had to resort to this method to make a connection!"
"..." Zhao Han was speechless, and finally, he could only agree, "Yeah, they are incompetent!"
Chen Shengfei, seeing his helpless expression, asked, "Shall we go see Mr. Zhang now?"
"Let's take a look around first!" Zhao Han said, trying to calm himself down.
...
At the service center, Lin Nan and the chef brought out two buckets, filled with honeysuckle tea.
The special honeysuckle tea recipe required 1 gram of honeysuckle for every 500 mL, and 1 pound of honeysuckle could produce 250,000 mL of tea.
Seeing this, Zhang Lin immediately had Lin Nan place the honeysuckle tea at the newly cleared sales counter.
Lin Mengxi had already completed the filming and, curious, walked over. "Mr. Zhang, what's this?"
Zhang Lin explained, "It's honeysuckle tea, one of our farm's new products!"
"Selling iced tea at the farm is a great idea!" Lin Mengxi nodded in agreement, though she didn't pay much attention to the honeysuckle tea. After all, it wasn't rare. People from small towns and rural areas often drank it, and many families would brew honeysuckle tea to keep on hand, using it as a substitute for plain water.
Just then, Lin Yao from the Millennium Company was brought in by a server, carrying some folded equipment and a rolled-up advertisement.
"Mr. Zhang, I've brought the honeysuckle tea billboard you requested," Lin Yao said with a smile as he approached.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Zhang Lin replied with a smile.
"I'll help you set up the billboard!" Lin Yao didn't waste any time, crouching down to assemble the frame and then unrolling the advertisement, placing it on the stand.
Lin Mengxi, initially just curious, glanced over and saw that it was clearly an advertisement for honeysuckle tea. Mr. Zhang seemed to be taking this quite seriously. The ad highlighted its cooling and thirst-quenching properties, which didn't surprise her, but when she saw the claim that it could treat constipation, she paused. Honeysuckle could do that?
Then she saw the exclusive honeysuckle tea recipe and the prices: 200 yuan for a 500 mL cup and 100 yuan for a 200 mL cup. She was stunned.
After all, a pound of honeysuckle only cost a few dozen yuan.
Now, Mr. Zhang was selling a 500 mL cup of honeysuckle tea for 200 yuan. A 500 mL cup of honeysuckle tea only required 1 or 2 grams of the herb, right?
Heaven forbid, what kind of honeysuckle tea was this, so expensive just because of an exclusive recipe?
While Lin Mengxi was surprised, Lin Yao, looking embarrassed, said, "Mr. Zhang, I mentioned that a friend of mine has severe constipation. Could you please pack a cup for him?"
Zhang Lin gave him a strange look, then personally took a milk tea cup, filled it with honeysuckle tea, and handed it to him. "This cup is for your friend, on the house."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang," Lin Yao hurriedly thanked him, took the honeysuckle tea, and rushed out of the service center, glancing back nervously before reaching a trash bin and gulping down the tea.
He finished the entire cup in one breath, threw the cup into the bin, and turned to see the beautiful woman who had been with Mr. Zhang earlier, along with a few others, looking at him with puzzled expressions.
Lin Mengxi was clearly confused. After all, he had said it was for a friend, yet he had just downed it himself.
Wasn't this just making up a friend on the spot?
Feeling embarrassed, Lin Yao tried to act nonchalant, turned his head, and walked toward the ticket office. He had a ticket and planned to take a few videos in the flower sea.
However, while waiting in line to check his ticket, he felt something odd in his stomach, as if a valve was about to open. His face lit up with joy as he hurried to the service center's restroom.
Zhang Lin, who was instructing Zhao Lin about the honeysuckle tea, saw Lin Yao rush to the restroom and couldn't help but smile.
Sure enough...
The honeysuckle tea must be incredibly effective, and it worked so quickly.
He immediately instructed Zhao Lin, "Remember to inform the tourists who buy honeysuckle tea to drink it at home, otherwise, we won't have enough toilets on the farm."
Fortunately, they had discovered this issue early. Otherwise, if more people bought honeysuckle tea and the toilets weren't sufficient, the situation would have been unimaginable.
"Understood, boss!" Zhao Lin nodded immediately.
Zhang Lin then left the service center and ran into Chen Shengfei and Zhao Han.
"Mr. Zhang!" Chen Shengfei greeted him enthusiastically.
Zhao Han also turned to Zhang Lin, looking surprised.
This was Mr. Zhang?
He was so young, no wonder he didn't buy into Chen Ting's act.
Chen Ting was such an idiot!
He cursed in his mind.
"Mr. Chen!" Zhang Lin smiled and responded, then glanced at Zhao Han. "This must be the friend you mentioned?"
"He's my cousin, surnamed Zhao," Chen Shengfei smiled and introduced him.
"Mr. Zhao, nice to meet you!" Zhang Lin greeted him politely.
"Mr. Zhang, nice to meet you," Zhao Han quickly responded, trying to be as humble as possible to make a good impression.
As they were chatting, they suddenly heard a sharp voice coming from the rest area.
Zhang Lin frowned and walked in to find the rest area in chaos, with several tourists using their phones to record the scene.
Clearly, something had happened!
