Ms. Fang wore a contented smile, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness.
After engaging in a pleasant conversation for a while, Ms. Fang let out a sigh and made the decision to depart.
Considering the host’s proactive invitation and the formal announcement they had made, it would be impolite for her to decline. Not attending would convey a sense of disrespect.
Although she felt a bit anxious, she reassured herself that she would simply advise her daughter-in-law to speak and behave modestly. It would only require half a day of her time as a guest.
On the other hand, Taotao felt quite delighted. She had visited the Yuezheng Family on several occasions, spending time with Qiao Xuan and the others, and had gained extensive knowledge about lipstick. Her confidence and cheerful demeanor were evident.
Furthermore, her brother held a high position, and her sister-in-law was financially successful. Her family was affluent and self-assured.
No matter where she went, Taotao carried herself with a resolute confidence.
After finalizing the agreement, Qiao Xuan proceeded to the study to locate Shao Yunduan and the others.
Shao Yunduan greeted Qiao Xuan with a smile. “I was about to send someone to find you!”
Qiao Xuan responded with a smile. “I had a feeling you would.”
After exchanging pleasantries, they shifted their focus to the matter at hand.
Qiao Xuan had been pondering over the dragon fruits and papayas located outside the city, so she inquired about them.
Upon hearing her question, Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong exchanged glances and broke into smiles.
Xie Jingrong chuckled and replied, “The fruit trees in the southern region are quite remarkable. Brother Yuezheng invited me to take a look, and I must say, the dragon fruits and papayas are thriving and distinct!”
“Indeed!”
Their laughter filled the room.
Qiao Xuan comprehended the stark contrast between the papayas and dragon fruits and the fruit trees in the northern region. One grew tall with abundant fruits at its top, while the other thrived with an extensive network of roots.
Those who had never witnessed it before might not find it particularly rare or novel.
Yuezheng Xiao spoke with a smile, “The papayas and dragon fruits have grown remarkably large, and they should ripen soon. I’ve deployed patrols in the area, and many business owners have requested reservations!”
Qiao Xuan felt a twinge of embarrassment. “I apologize for the trouble I’ve caused. Third Brother, please find a trustworthy manager and hire some workers for us.”
The orchard was unrelated to the Yuezheng Family—it belonged solely to Qiao Xuan.
Yuezheng Xiao nodded and replied with a smile, “That’s reasonable. I’ll make the arrangements promptly. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me.”
Qiao Xuan nodded and smiled, saying, “Of course, I will definitely seek your assistance!”
As straightforward individuals, they swiftly settled the matter. Qiao Xuan expressed her desire to plant not only papayas and dragon fruits but also lychees, longan, mangoes, citrus fruits, grapefruits, bananas, and other saplings in the south before they entered the capital. She personally covered all the expenses.
The cost of hiring labor could be treated as an additional investment.
What Qiao Xuan needed was time, but she lacked personnel to utilize. While the Zhang Village and her own family had some people to spare, they were unable to oversee an entire province.
Yuezheng Xiao readily agreed and mentioned that he would stay for a maximum of 20 days, asking Qiao Xuan if it was feasible. If it wasn’t, he could extend his stay by two or three days.
His subordinates were willing to pay double the labor fee for an extended period of over ten days.
Qiao Xuan, eager to arrive as soon as possible, nodded with a smile.
Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao trusted that Qiao Xuan had her own methods of cultivation, so they didn’t inquire further.
