I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 105: Chapter 102: Director Jiang Quarreling With His Girlfriend?

Pan Zhoucong looked at the bright red strawberries in front of him, nearly moved to tears.

Mr. Jiang treated him like a real brother. These strawberries were obviously not ordinary, probably picked from some magical place like Huaguo Mountain in the stories he heard as a kid.

Pan Zhoucong’s heart warmed; he almost wanted to set up an altar and swear brotherhood. But he felt he wasn’t worthy of climbing up to Mr. Jiang’s level!

"Cough... Brother Pan, let’s discuss business. This time we have more than 8,000 live rabbits and chickens..."

Du Shouqiang paused for a moment before returning to his senses and quickly noted it down, finally calculating the total amount.

"A total of 26,072 yuan."

Upon hearing that the goods were already in the courtyard, Brother Pan didn’t hesitate and immediately told them to prepare the money.

The money was handed to her right away.

"Mr. Jiang, count it."

"No need, it’s not my first dealing with Brother Pan. I know the kind of person he is. He wouldn’t shortchange me with this little bit of money."

Everyone loves to hear compliments, especially when Mr. Jiang spoke so sincerely. It made Pan Zhoucong blush, like a schoolboy.

"Right, Brother Pan, I’m planning to make some fruit jam from top-quality fruits when I get back. Are you interested in purchasing them? How’s the market like?"

Pan Zhoucong was intrigued: Fruits and jams, such luxury goods are beloved by wealthy ladies. Not to mention, over at Port City, there’s a high demand for such items at a ridiculous price. Pan Zhoucong’s hands were trembling slightly; he realized his benefactor was a treasure girl, his lucky star!

"Yes, of course. I’ve said it before, Mr. Jiang, I’ll deal with anything as long as it’s not illegal goods."

Though it was expected, Jiang Mingyue still showed a face full of joy.

"Wonderful!"

"As for the price for Mr. Jiang..." Pan Zhoucong thought carefully. The quality of Mr. Jiang’s products wouldn’t be bad; though they might not match the exceptional strawberries he had, they wouldn’t fall short either. The jam made from such fruits wouldn’t be overpriced even at an exorbitant price.

"How about initially setting it at ten yuan per pound?"

Ten yuan? The glass bottles Yan Jinzhi prepared for her seemed to hold about two pounds, making it twenty yuan per bottle.

Indeed, fruits are more profitable than anything else.

Pan Zhoucong was nervous, sensing dissatisfaction from his benefactor regarding the price.

"The price can still be adjusted based on market feedback, perhaps even increased."

Jiang Mingyue smiled broadly: "... Okay, in that case, I’m in."

Before leaving, Jiang Mingyue received a basket of snacks from Uncle Mute, featuring her favorite buckwheat strips.

What a kind old man! Such a nice grandfather deserves something in return.

So, Pan Zhoucong and Da Qiang watched the next scene jealously.

Jiang Mingyue took out a basket of fruits from her bag, with apples brighter and larger than those in Du Shouqiang’s hand, and strawberries larger and redder than those in Pan Zhoucong’s hand. But that wasn’t all. The basket for Uncle Mute overflowed with goodness, including three apples, each better than Du Shouqiang’s, and over ten strawberries, all better than Pan Zhoucong’s. Apart from these, there were seven or eight other kinds—loquats, bananas, jujubes, plums, grapes, yellow peaches...

Pan Zhoucong felt sour!

Da Qiang was envious!

Uncle Mute was thrilled!

Jiang Mingyue was satisfied!

Buckwheat strips, oh how I love you, like a mouse loves rice.

Today was another day of adding brick and mortar to the treasury.

Thinking of her big cousin’s contribution, Jiang Mingyue felt the need to go offer him some warmth.

When she reached the back entrance of the department store, without needing to say anything, Uncle Wang greeted her with a smile.

"Ming Yue, visiting your brother again? Manager Zhuang is also here."

Is this a buy one get one free deal?

Jiang Mingyue pulled out a big apple and handed it into the duty room, "Uncle Wang, get some vitamins!"

Uncle Wang looked at the apple, "My goodness! I’ve never seen an apple this nice. If there really were the Queen Mother’s peaches, this apple could definitely compete."

Uncle Wang couldn’t take his eyes off the apple, yet kept declining politely: "I couldn’t possibly accept this."

"You’ve done me such a favor, please take it, I still have more."

"Thank you, thank you! Such a good girl, next time let Uncle treat you to something."

Jiang Mingyue thought to herself: I have plenty, no worries.

"In that case, thank you, Uncle Wang."

After the small talk, Jiang Mingyue headed straight to the procurement department.

But today, things were a bit off. Not even at the door yet, she collided with that garlic-nosed man. Talk about narrow paths for enemies.

And that Mr. Garlic Nose clearly saw Jiang Mingyue too, his face immediately dropping.

"What’s this? Chasing after me to bump into people?"

Jiang Mingyue’s mood sank, like swallowing a fly.

"You’re overthinking."

"Hmph! You rural people always play these tricks, pretending to bump into people to strike up a conversation, dreaming of marrying into the city. Don’t think I don’t know."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Come, take this idiot away and execute him!

That would be some peace. She really didn’t want to talk to this person, his nose looked like a garlic bulb, and his mouth seemed to have consumed a ton of garlic.

"Xue Sunjie, what do you know? Why? My sister comes to find me and has to put up with your questioning?"

The sudden voice made Xue Sunjie instantly change color.

"Director Jiang, sorry, so she’s your sister. Uh, I have some unfinished work, I’ll get to it now."

His talent for fleeing seemed honed over a thousand times, quicker than coal.

Seeing her big brother, Jiang Mingyue felt her mood lift instantly.

"Big brother, we are building a house."

Jiang Mingan was taken aback: "Why didn’t you tell me?"

Jiang Mingyue explained the house collapse on a rainy night; Jiang Ming’an frowned, "Jiang Mingyue, for whom am I building a house? Didn’t you realize the situation was bad and move immediately? Also, is there anything more important than you? How dare you rummage through garbage in the pouring rain in the middle of the night?"

Cough, cough, big brother, that’s seriously exaggerated!

"Brother, I’m sorry! If the house collapses again, I’ll definitely only care about myself and forget the stuff, seriously!"

Jiang Mingan chuckled angrily: "Stop the jokes. Jiang Mingyue, I’ll repeat, no matter what happens, your life is most important, nothing else matters, got it?"

"Got it, got it! Sigh! Brother, don’t be mad! I brought some treats for you."

After being cajoled by the girl’s coquettishness and adorableness, Jiang Mingan’s anger finally subsided a bit.

But his face was still serious. Along the way, people greeted him and he only nodded, not a trace of a smile.

Colleague

Colleague A: "Director Jiang must have argued with his girlfriend."

Informed Colleague B: "What nonsense are you talking? That’s his sister, by blood."

Colleague A: "Oh, oh! Then the sister must have upset the brother because Director Jiang is known for his good temper."

Colleague B: "But the girl seems to have a good temper. I actually think Director Jiang probably caused it himself."

Jiang Mingyue stifled a laugh: Most of her brother’s colleagues were actually quite adorable!

Arriving at her brother’s place, Jiang Mingyue pulled out a basket of fruits to win favor.

If Pan Zhoucong and Da Qiang were here, they’d probably have another bout of envy, after all, it was more than what Uncle Mute got.

"Brother, calm down, look, I grew all these, just picked them to bring you a taste, I don’t give to anyone else."

Jiang Ming’an was finally cheered up by his sister’s words.

But the next second, a person suddenly appeared in the room, turning Jiang Ming’an’s face.

"Yan, Yan Jinzhi?"

The man walked gracefully, "Big cousin, losing your temper at your age, no wonder Yueyue came to bring you fruit to eat, have some, calm down."

"Yan! Jin! Zhi!"

"Big cousin, I’m telling you. You’re not young anymore, good health and longevity come from a calm mind."
