Chapter 196: 196 Bring a flower for your wife_1

Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled.

"This price might be a bit high for the small Huangxian, but what if we consider the entire Haicheng? I’ve heard Haicheng has quite a few upscale neighborhoods, villa districts, and lots of Western-style houses. I’ve heard that many white-collar workers living in the city center are earning more than a thousand yuan, even two thousand."

This is something I saw with my own eyes in my previous life.

I worked there as a security guard and had some understanding of those office workers.

The office buildings there were very tall, and everyone coming out of them was dressed in suits and leather shoes, driving luxurious cars. The ladies all wore blouses, short skirts, and high heels, looking vibrant and full of energy.

To someone earning a hundred yuan a month, fourteen might seem too much, but a thousand?

Fourteen yuan, for them, would be completely affordable, no second thoughts necessary.

In my last life, I was only preoccupied with lamenting the unfairness of fate, but this time, Gu Chen had different plans—getting money out of their pockets and improving my own life.

On the other end of the phone, Li Aifang took a deep breath, her voice excited, "Right! Why didn’t I think of that!"

Now she was even more grateful that she wasn’t competing against this man.

Otherwise, she might have been completely defeated. His mind was really too flexible. Having such an opponent was truly terrifying.

Because you would never be able to predict what he might do.

If we sell in Haicheng, just like Gu Chen said, in upscale neighborhoods, villa districts, and office building areas, even though the sales volume would still be limited, selling for fifteen yuan would be completely doable. If we are bold enough, we could even sell for sixteen.

That means I’d still make a profit, and with profit, all problems are solved!

I could even afford to slowly buy my cherries in Huangcheng, pull them from what I get from Gu Chen, and take them straight to Haicheng to sell, maximizing profits!

This idea is really brilliant.

"You’ve said a lot, so let’s settle on fourteen, but there’s one more issue," Li Aifang continued, "If we really go to Haicheng, I’m afraid six or seven hundred jin might not be enough."

Gu Chen laughed, "As long as you can take all my goods every time, I don’t mind being your warehouse."

For him, who sells is not an issue?

Although I could go to Haicheng and sell at a higher price myself, right now, I have more than a hundred acres of land waiting to be planted.

Finding a wholesaler is undoubtedly the best choice; it saves time and effort.

Li Aifang was amazed.

"That’s really great! Do you think we need to sign a contract or something? How about this—I’ll treat you and your family to dinner tonight, and we can talk more in detail then?"

Gu Chen laughed, "There’s no need for dinner. Just give me the address, and I’ll deliver the cherries tomorrow morning. We can talk more then."

He had to go buy seeds today and pick up his wife and child.

There was no time for a dinner.

Besides, Ji Pianran was still weak now, and I still needed to keep nourishing her. A meal outside would definitely not be as good as my own cooking.

Li Aifang laughed heartily.

"That works too. We’ll exchange goods for money directly, and we can discuss the rest when we meet!"

Gu Chen really solved a big problem for me.

I have a feeling that if he starts doing business, in a few years, he’ll become a well-known big boss locally!

"Oh, and there’s one more thing I need to say," Li Aifang continued.

"What?" Gu Chen was curious.

"Thank you. I really owe you one this time!" Li Aifang said with sincere gratitude.

Gu Chen smiled, "It’s just mutual benefit."

In fact, this move of Li Aifang’s had indeed helped him too.

Her buying and me selling would save me quite a bit of time.

And with the time saved, Gu Chen believed he could definitely create more wealth.

For some people, time was nothing but moments passing by, utterly useless except for being spent.

But for Gu Chen, that was money, something that could be turned into cash.

...

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen turned the car around and headed for Pedestrian Street. Now that the issue with the cherries was resolved, he might as well spend time with his wife and child.

Having not seen them for just a short while, he already missed them a bit.

He wondered if Ji Pianran would be cheated by anyone, and if Tangtang missed him.

Pedestrian Street wasn’t too far from the Ji Family’s warehouse, and in less than twenty minutes, Gu Chen arrived at the location.

As he parked the car, he happened to meet a little girl holding a single rose, just one, bud yet to bloom, quite beautiful.

Seeing Gu Chen get out of the car, she hurried over, tentatively speaking up.

"Brother, would you like to buy a flower?"

Gu Chen’s eyebrows twitched, slightly puzzled.

He hadn’t expected that this girl was selling flowers.

If she hadn’t spoken up, he would have really thought it was a flower someone had given to her, as there was only one.

The little girl noticed his uncertainty, her smile carrying a hint of nervousness.

"Today is the weekend, and business has been good, so there’s only this one left."

She had been selling flowers here all day, and many people had been impatient with her; she was afraid Gu Chen would be the same.

But for the sake of survival, she had no other choice.

Gu Chen looked at the flower in her hand, a flicker of hesitation in his profound eyes.

It wasn’t that he begrudged buying a flower for his wife, but just one seemed a bit miserly.

It clearly looked like something casually bought from the roadside, lacking any real sincerity.

Seeing Gu Chen hesitate, the little girl quickly explained, "Brother, it’s very cheap, just two yuan. I have to go to school tomorrow; please buy it so I can make up enough for a week’s living expenses."

Her family was not well-off; they were farmers, and she had to board at school when coming to the city, which made for sizeable expenses. No matter how much she economized, she still needed fifteen yuan every week to cover her costs.

Her clothes were very plain, and her sneakers were so worn they could no longer be cleaned to white, slightly yellowed now, her frame somewhat frail. At first glance, she seemed to be only fourteen or fifteen years old.

Gu Chen’s heart softened; after all, she was still just a child, a young girl trying to earn her living expenses. He should offer some encouragement.

He pulled out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the little girl.

With a slight smile, he gently said, "The flower is beautiful; no need for change."

Having said that, he took the flower from the girl’s hand and walked away on his own accord.

The little girl was stunned; she had not expected Gu Chen to give her ten yuan, which was enough to buy five flowers!

She nervously clutched the money in her hand and turned to call out to him, "Brother, wait!"

After saying that, she ran over in two swift steps, "Brother, this is too much, two yuan is already enough."

She was very grateful for Gu Chen’s kindness, but ten yuan was really too much; she couldn’t accept it.

She pulled eight yuan out of her pocket, intending to give it back to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen waved his hand dismissively, "Keep it, don’t overthink it, I have a daughter too."

As parents, witnessing such scenes often tugged at their heartstrings.

Gu Chen was no exception.
