Chapter 357 - Graduation Banquet 2
Chapter 357: Graduation Banquet 2
Translator: Lonelytree
At this moment, Gu Ziye, Zheng Haiyang, and the other two drove to Taoyuan Village to attend Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet.
They were obviously going as Xiao Lingyu’s friends.
Although Xiao Lingyu rarely went to the county town now and they did not communicate frequently, there was a kind of strong friendship between them.
Zheng Haiyang’s vague feelings toward Xiao Lingyu disappeared with the appearance of Xiao Lingyu’s stomach and the company of an outstanding man by her side.
The other three secretly let out a sigh of relief when they saw this.
They were afraid that Zheng Haiyang’s feelings for Xiao Lingyu would continue to fester. It was for the best that Zheng Haiyang had learned to let go.
“Ning Weiyi and the kids are already at Taoyuan Village!” Yuan Xuanhao curled his lips and said, “Ever since they got their driver’s license, they have been driving every day. They are going crazy.”
“Ning Weiyi, Yang Baolin, and Kang Le all did well in the exam.”
Qian Yifan suddenly said, “According to their usual results, it wouldn’t be much of a problem for them to get into a first-grade university. However, all three of them have performed beyond expectation!”
“It’s not just the three of them. Most of the students in No. 1 High School also performed beyond their normal levels. This year, No 1 High School has produced many new university students.”
“No 1 High School’s results were always at the bottom in our county. However, this year, they have made a comeback. In an instant, they went from the bottom of City Z to the very top.
“No 1 High School received major praise by the city council. Principal Li and a few teachers laughed until their stomachs hurt.”
“Haha. It must feel nice.”
“However, there are rumors that the reason why No. 1 High School did so well this year was because they had the vegetables sent over by Xiao Lingye’s family before the exam.”
“There might be a kernel of truth in that. People say that they feel refreshed and full of energy after having the Xiao Family’s vegetables. Their minds are clear, and they have a better memory.
“The vegetables can also help with nerves. In the past, many students would get frightened during the entrance exam. Their hands would get cold, and they wouldn’t perform normally. However, that stopped after having the Xiao Family’s product.”
“If that is true, the Xiao Family is going to have a fever sale every time the entrance exam comes around.”
“This is a big market.” Qian Yifan sighed, “It’s a pity that Xiao Lingyu has such a small farm.”
“The farm is small now, but it will grow in the future.” Gu Ziye said. “Did you forget that Xiao Lingyu has contracted six mountains?”
Yuan Xuanhao asked in confusion, “Can she grow vegetables in those mountains? Didn’t she plan to use them to grow fruit trees?”
Gu Ziye shook his head and said, “Xiao Lingyu told me that some of the lands at the foot of the mountain can be used to grow vegetables. She estimated that there are at least 30 Mus of the usable plot.”
“30 Mus?” The other three were shocked. “That’s a lot!”
“It’s really not.” Gu Ziye said, “The six mountains cover over 10,000 Mus, but only 30 Mus can be used for vegetable farming.”
“But can Xiao Lingyu sell so many vegetables? Does she have the channel to sell them?” Zheng Haiyang asked suspiciously.
“Why not?” Qian Yifan said, “I believe her next plan is to sell her vegetables all over the country.”
“Sell them all over the country?” Zheng Haiyang was confused.
Qian Yifan explained, “Haiyang, with the rise of the internet, online shopping has become more prevalent. Xiao Lingyu only needs to set up an online store, and her products will sell.” Qian Yifan was very confident in this. “Once one tastes Xiao Lingyu’s crops, they will not forget them. The internet
business will be a booming one.”
Zheng Haiyang was still cautious. “Fan, have you forgotten that the prices of Xiao Lingyu’s crops are not low?
“The prices will scare many people off. Besides, many people want their vegetables fresh. Buying them online means that the vegetables won’t be fresh anymore.”
This was indeed a problem.
Yuan Xuanhao said with a smile, “Instead of guessing among ourselves, we might as well wait and ask Xiao Lingyu about her plans.
“If she really has the intention to sell the vegetables to the whole country, she’ll face more problems than just an online sales platform.”
“That’s true,” Qian Yifan said with a smile. “Although we haven’t known Xiao Lingyu for a long time, judging from her style of doing things, she must have her own plans already.”
“Tcan’t wait to see what will happen in the future.” Zheng Haiyang said with anticipation.
The four of them had no idea how popular Xiao Lingyu’s crops would be in the future. In fact, everything related to Xiao Lingyu was sold like crazy. Even if the prices were high, they ran out of stock quickly.
But, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.
Gu Ziye and his friends chatted as they drove to Taoyuan Village. Qian Yifan’s eyes suddenly widened. He rubbed his eyes, then pulled Yuan Xuanhao beside him and said, “Hao, come over and take a look. Is that my dad’s car? My God. A few leaders from the county are also here!”
Yuan Xuanhao was also surprised to see a few people getting out of the black car.
“Fan, you didn’t see wrongly. They are indeed the county leaders.”
“What are they doing here? Are they here to attend Xiao Lingye’s graduation banquet?” Qian Yifan said in disbelief, “How is this possible?”
“But that appears to be the truth.” Yuan Xuanhao also said in disbelief, “Fan, haven’t you heard your dad mention it before?”
“No!” Qian Yifan shook his head and said, “Ever since my dad was promoted to the council leader, he was so busy. He didn’t even have time to chat with me anymore!”
Everyone, “…”
Poor child…
