Shi Zhenxiang was so frightened that her head shook like a wavy drum. She blushed and said, "I'm not here to harass you. I just want to tell you that Lin Mai has raised a wild man at home."
She and her mother had been observing for a long time and found out that Li Mingcheng, a new employee of Baohaochi Snack Bar, had been living in Lin Mai's house, and the two of them talked quite closely.
This Li Mingcheng is definitely having an affair with Lin Mai.
Last time it was Lin Mai who caused her own mother to be educated by the police and paid money. She still remembers this grudge.
Now that she has a chance to take revenge, she won't miss it no matter what!
"Oh? Really?" Fang Zhuoran had an unknown smile on his face, "Write down what you just said on paper."
Shi Zhenxiang sensed a hint of danger and stammered: "Why...why do you do this?"
"I'm afraid that if I go to confront Lin Mai, my words will be unfounded."
Shi Zhenxiang spread her hands: "I...even if I write it down on paper, she still won't admit it. I can't provide ironclad evidence for this kind of thing."
Fang Zhuoran sneered: "You also know that you can't provide irrefutable evidence! Then you are slandering!
I won’t let this matter go by just like this, I will definitely make you pay for spreading rumors!”
Shi Zhenxiang was frightened and almost begged with tears in her eyes: "Professor Fang, I will never talk nonsense again, please let me go~"
Fang Zhuoran said coldly: "Go and ask Lin Mai to forgive you. If she forgives you, I will let you go.
Also, if there are any rumors about Lin Mai, whether they have anything to do with you or not, I will blame them all on you!"
Shi Zhenxiang looked at his back as he walked away, feeling like crying but without tears.
If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have gone in front of this plague god to smear this little bitch, but now I've shot myself in the foot.
She didn't go to class, bought gifts, and went to Lin Mai's snack bar with her mother on her back.
She didn't mention anything about the smearing she had just done in front of Fang Zhuoran. She only said that her mother had done something too much and she wanted to apologize for her mother and admit her mistake.
Lin Mai was confused.
Shi Zhenxiang looked at her with such vicious eyes every time, she still knew this.
Now she came to show her kindness as if she was possessed by an evil spirit, and Lin Mai was completely confused.
Enemies are easy to resolve but not easy to make. Don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Lin Mai accepted Shi Zhenxiang's overtures in full.
I guessed that Fang Zhuoran might be behind this.
When Fang Zhuoran came to the restaurant for dinner, she specifically asked him about this matter, and Fang Zhuoran admitted it generously.
The employees recruited by Linmai Snack Bar to specialize in barbecue all have some cooking skills. After a few days of training, all of them can grill.
As for making cold dishes, it is even less of a problem for them.
Moreover, all employees have adapted to their work, and Zhou Caiyun can manage them well without Lin Mai's guidance.
Li Mingcheng was in charge of getting the goods, and Lin Mai only had to prepare the fillings every morning, which basically freed herself. She decided to go to the countryside to buy crops and resell them in the city.
Master Zhang had already renovated the bungalow in Sanyang Village for Lin Mai.
Before purchasing crops, Lin Mai went back to Sanyang Village, visited the village chief with a gift, and entrusted him to rent out the house for her.
She has posted rental information all over the nearby bus stations. If anyone comes to see the house, the village chief can help show them the house and rent it out.
There were no mobile phones in this era, so Lin Mai could not contact the renters at any time, and it was impossible to waste time guarding Sanyang Village, so he could only entrust the village chief.
He also promised the village chief that he would give him a commission of 10% of the rent.
The commission was not low, and the gift from Lin Mai was also very generous. The village chief nodded in agreement.
In the rural areas of Hu Province, every household likes to grow peaches and plums, and these two fruits are of good quality.
May is the season when peaches and plums are in season.
After returning from Sanyang Village, Lin Mai started arranging the business in the store so that he could go to the countryside to buy peaches and plums to resell in the city tomorrow.
At this time, the deliveryman from Hongqi Aluminum Products Factory arrived with 300 aluminum lunch boxes with the words "Pack a delicious snack bar" printed on them.
Lin Mai knew that Fang Zhuoran was secretly helping her again.
When she first asked Hongqi Aluminum Products Factory to order 300 aluminum lunch boxes with the words "Pack a delicious snack bar" printed on them, the factory director refused because he thought the order was too small.
When Fang Zhuoran came forward, he didn't think the order was too small. It could only be said that Fang Zhuoran's connections were wide and powerful.
Lin Mai arranged for the clerk to disinfect all the hundreds of aluminum boxes, and then posted a notice in the store to benefit the people by paying a deposit and renting lunch boxes free of charge.
Anyway, the deposit will be fully refunded when the lunch box is returned, so there will be no impact on the customer at all.
At noon that day, many customers rented lunch boxes and bought snacks to take away.
Linmai Snack Bar's business is even better.
When Fang Zhuoran came to have dinner after get off work, he brought a lot of lychees.
Lin Mai was pleasantly surprised and said: "Another family member of a patient from Guangdong gave you lychees?"
Fang Zhuoran said a little uncomfortable: "It's not from Guangdong, it's from Guangxi."
He would not tell Lin Mai that these lychees were not given to him by the patient's family, but to another doctor.
Because he heard from the little cute baby that Lin Mai loved to eat lychees, he snatched them away.
Lin Mai said happily: "Don't worry about Guangdong and Guangxi. I will go back to Simei Town tomorrow and bring these lychees to my grandparents. They will definitely like them."
Although Fang Zhuoran did not grow up in front of Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang, he had great affection for them.
Seeing Lin Mai being so filial to the two old people, I feel more and more that she is a good girl.
Early the next morning, Lin Mai drove the tractor back to the countryside with the gifts he bought for the two elders of the Fang family and the lychees from Fang Zhuoran.
When they came back this time, they didn't say hello in advance. Grandpa Fang and his wife felt suddenly and happy.
When Lin Mai took out the lychees and said that Fang Zhuoran specially asked her to bring them to his two elders, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang were even happier.
Grandma Fang's eyes were so happy that her eyes were red: "Zhuoran, this kid is so busy at work and still thinks about us.
Afraid that we don’t have enough money, they send us money every month, and now they ask you to help bring fruits.”
Lin Mai felt a little sad. The two old people actually hoped that their descendants would care more about them.
She took out half of the gift she bought for her second elder and pretended that Fang Zhuoran bought it.
She also said that Fang Zhuoran told her that whenever she returns to the countryside in the future, she will help him bring things to them.
Grandma Fang couldn't close her mouth with joy. She cooked a bowl of sweet rice wine with poached eggs for Lin Mai.
Lin Mai came after breakfast, and his stomach was full. He didn't want to eat sweet rice wine with poached eggs.
But not wanting to disappoint Grandma Fang, she picked up the sweet rice wine and ate it.
The two old men watched her eat kindly.
Grandpa Fang asked: "What do you want to collect when you come back this time? Potatoes?"
In fact, you can also buy potatoes from Uncle Qi's place, but Lin Mai buys a lot of vegetables from his family every day, which has greatly improved his family's economic conditions.
I still buy these potatoes from the folks, who are even poorer than Uncle Qi.
"Potatoes are a must. I also want to buy peaches and plums."
Grandpa Fang immediately put down the tea cup in his hand: "How many kilograms of potatoes do you need? How many kilograms of peaches and plums do you need? I'll help you collect them."
Lin Mai was not polite to him: "Seven hundred catties of peaches, three hundred catties of plums, and five hundred catties of potatoes."
The local plums have a great sour and sweet taste, but it is not advisable to eat too many plums, and Linmai does not dare to eat too much.
Grandma Fang advised: "If you buy so much at one time, can you sell them all?
Our local peaches are either honey peaches or blood peaches, which are very juicy and do not need to be drained.
If it's not sold out within five days, it will go bad.
You might as well enter in two parts.
We only buy 500 kilograms of two kinds of fruits at a time, and we will come back when they are sold out, it is safer this way."
Grandpa Fang also advised: "Listen to your grandma and be sure!"
Lin Mai poured the remaining sweet rice wine in the bowl into his mouth with a tilt of his neck.
He put down the bowl and said, "Don't worry, grandpa and grandma, they will definitely be sold out within five days."
When Grandpa Fang heard what she said, he didn't stop her anymore and went out to help her collect potatoes, peaches and plums.
