Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Use Those You Trust, Don’t Use Those You Doubt

Time quickly reached the latter half of August, and Luo Qiao had mostly finished her planning. Conveniently, not far from the parcel of land was a village, with which she directly signed a contract.

According to her requirements, the village would organize the villagers to come and work, but this was not about subsidizing food; they would be paid upon completion of the desired standards for an acre of land. Seeing that there was indeed money to be earned, and that payment came right after meeting the standards for an acre, there was no reluctance among the villagers.

With people coming to work, there had to be someone from her side to supervise and manage. Previously, she had assisted two retired soldiers in Capital City who were forced out of their jobs. Seeing that they hadn’t found suitable employment, she asked if they would like to work with her, and after consideration, they both agreed.

At first, they thought they were merely repaying the young lady for her help in the past, especially since they were currently jobless. But they had not expected the project to be so grand, and deep respect for the young lady grew inside them.

Luo Qiao brought the two men over, took out the blueprints she had drawn, explained to them what needed to be done, clarified parts of the blueprint they didn’t understand, and, once they got the hang of it, left the management to them.

Luo Qiao had observed them for a few days before deciding to hire these two. As former soldiers, they possessed the integrity characteristic of military personnel, naturally inspiring trust.

Moreover, she had inquired about them; Zheng Qiang was let go by his boss precisely because he adhered too strongly to principles, while He Zijie had resigned in protest of his boss’s unfair practices out of solidarity with Zheng Qiang.

Both men were in their early twenties, full of vigor, and through interaction, it seemed to her they were not the sort to handle personal relationships poorly. It appeared that their previous boss was the shortsighted one.

She found a separate warehouse and moved out various flowers, plants, and seedlings she had cultivated in her space, along with a considerable number of seeds. Then, she took the two men on a trip there, handed them the keys, and had them arrange for transportation of these back to the site.

She also instructed them to find a few people knowledgeable about horticulture to take care of these plants and trees, entrusting them with full responsibility for these matters. She also left them a passbook, instructing them to withdraw money when necessary.

Seeing the amount of money in the passbook, their hearts pounded fiercely, nearly declaring their absolute loyalty to Luo Qiao right then and there.

Thinking of how much Luo Qiao trusted them, they were determined to perform well.

In truth, the passbook didn’t hold too much money. Use people without suspicion; don’t employ people you doubt. At worst, she would only lose that money, but following her could mean a promising future.

With these matters resolved, Luo Qiao prepared to return to Capital City. She had phoned home to learn that her second brother Xuyuan was accepted into Hua University, and the family was waiting to celebrate with her, so she had to return before the school term started.

She had informed her family of her arrival time in advance. They notified well-disposed relatives, friends, and neighbors. Planning to hold a few tables at their home the day before school registration, they arranged a celebration.

Luo Qiao returned to Capital City on the afternoon of the day before, and as soon as she reached the station exit, she saw Big Brother and Xuyuan. They spotted her at the same time, and Luo Xuyan called out joyfully, "Qiaoqiao, over here, over here!"

Luo Xuyuan, noticing the luggage in her hand, quickly made his way through the crowd, "How come you brought so much stuff?"

Luo Qiao, not having the chance to talk to Xuyuan, first thanked the attendant behind her who helped with her luggage. Seeing someone had come to pick her up, the attendant placed the luggage down, exchanged a few polite words, and then turned to leave.

Luo Xuyuan felt a touch of self-reproach, "Had I known you had so much luggage, I would’ve met you at the platform. You must be exhausted."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "It’s okay. These are gifts I bought for everyone. I had help from the attendants getting on and off the train, so it wasn’t too hard."

An attractive person is liked wherever they go, and indeed, others had volunteered to help her on and off the train; she was telling the truth.

With four large luggage bags, Luo Xuyan and Luo Xuyuan each carried two. Luo Xuyuan suggested, "Let’s take a rickshaw. It’s too difficult to get on the bus while carrying these."

When the three of them arrived home, Zhou Guifang, seeing the large bags they brought back, exclaimed in surprise, "Qiaoqiao, did you bring all these back?"

Luo Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, I bought some clothes for everyone. They have a wider variety of styles there, and it’s cheaper than here, so I ended up bringing quite a lot back."
