Chapter 1120: Chapter 1120: Crisis Public Relations

"Everyone else can work. When I asked him to work, he couldn’t do it properly—the seedlings in the greenhouse died off in large patches after he pruned them." An Shuchao regretted it deeply; he should never have agreed to this in the first place.

Now, it really was just like An Ping said, inviting the deity is easy, sending him away is hard.

"So you just let him supervise the loading of the trucks?"

"Yeah! I can’t just let him hang around doing nothing and still pay him, right?"

"Forget it, for now, let’s just leave it at this. Hurry and help me pick another truckload of vegetables to deliver to the military." As for his issue with Qin Fen, they would settle accounts later.

"What’s going on? Why are we in such a rush?" An Shuchao became tense seeing An Ping so anxious, "It’s not because there’s something wrong with our vegetables, is it?"

"If it’s not that, then what is it? Let’s not worry about that now; after we deliver the vegetables, how my sister dealt with it? We can talk about Qin Fen’s matter after that." An Ping got serious; when she undertook a task, she was incredibly sharp and clear-headed.

"Okay! We can’t let this affect your sister’s side; let’s hurry up and go."

This time, An Ping personally came to choose and took away the batch of the best vegetables that were about to go to market.

The next day, early in the morning, he hired a cart pulled by oxen to take them to the town, where he transferred them onto a bus and sent them to the military compound.

After eating at home, Qin Jian was preparing to go to the military base.

Someone knocked on the door outside, and when he opened it, he saw An Ping standing there, sweating profusely at the doorstep.

"The vegetables have arrived; they’re right at the entrance to the military compound. I’ve got the sentinel keeping an eye on them. What should we do next, brother-in-law?"

At that moment, An Hao had already changed her clothes and came downstairs.

She just happened to hear An Ping’s voice and hurried to the door: "We should deliver to the military base. Today, I’ll go with you."

"You don’t need to come. I can handle it myself." Qin Jian didn’t want to drag his wife all over the place, especially not with such an urgent and troublesome matter that might affect An Hao’s mood.

"The situation is a bit awkward for you now, not so easy to handle. I should go, and I’ll go with An Ping." An Hao insisted.

Qin Jian was about to refuse when Zhang Yun came out; upon hearing that An Hao was going along, she immediately agreed: "You should go along. There are things Qin Jian may find difficult to say, the rest will have to rely on you to manage."

"Don’t worry, Mom! I’ll strive to minimize the impact of this incident."

............

Qin Jian brought An Hao and An Ping to the military base, and as soon as they entered the gate, An Hao detected an unusual scent in the air.

It was clear from the looks of these warriors that they had already ascribed the collective diarrhea incident to the produce from Qin Jian and An Hao’s home.

But because Qin Jian was the military’s chief of staff, they dared not voice their opinions, instead keeping their thoughts to themselves.

"Come on, I’ll take you to meet Commander Zhang first," Qin Jian said.

Commander Zhang turned his gaze to An Hao: "You go ahead and speak, will you?"

An Hao nodded, told Qin Jian to have a few men bring in the vegetables first, and then cleared her throat and addressed all the warriors present: "My name is An Hao! Qin Jian’s wife! I am also An boss’s sister. The vegetables eaten here in your military base come from our family’s fields! I heard that there have been some issues with the vegetables recently, even cases of spoiled produce! Our vegetable quality has caused a problem, affecting everyone’s consumption, and for that, I am very sorry! Today, I have brought freshly picked vegetables as compensation!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the warriors brought in several baskets of vegetables.
