The goods in the big shopping malls of the provincial capital were truly dazzling. Lu Fan wanted to buy some clothes for his parents, but he was not good at picking clothes. So, this task fell to Liu Ruyan. Lu Fan was responsible for carrying the bags.
"Xiao Fan! Are you going to the capital again?" Liu Ruyan asked softly as they browsed the mall, glancing at Lu Fan.
"Yes! Brother Yan asked me to go. Actually, I also want to see it." Lu Fan nodded. Since learning about the palace and the withered old man in Zhao Xiaoyun's sea of consciousness, Lu Fan had become even more curious about the Yan family.
Yan Menghan had always hidden her martial arts skills. If she hadn't revealed a little bit during her fight with Ma Jiu, Lu Fan wouldn't have realized that her skills were not simple. How did the Yan family hide their skills? Even his eyes couldn't see through it.
The Yan family seemed to have many unfathomable secrets!
"Xiao Fan! I'm planning to resign from my position as town mayor and develop the Bufan Group with you!" Liu Ruyan suddenly looked at Lu Fan and said affectionately.
"Really? Great! I'm planning to open a Bufan Tea House in the provincial capital. Can you help me arrange it?" Lu Fan's face lit up with joy. Liu Ruyan was giving up her career for him, so he had to treat her well.
"Why are you suddenly opening a tea house?" Liu Ruyan asked with some surprise.
"I'll tell you slowly later!" Lu Fan smiled slightly.
Yan Menghan had given Lu Fan over twenty tea trees, including ten precious varieties. The tea trees were planted on the back mountain and were growing very well. He believed the tea would be excellent. With so much tea, it was natural to open a tea house with exquisite taste to socialize with tasteful people. How many people who could afford a pot of tea costing hundreds of thousands or even millions were ordinary people!
The two of them shopped for most of the day and bought quite a few things. Finally, Liu Ruyan drove her car ahead, and Lu Fan followed on his motorcycle. They returned to Fengyuan Town.
The first piece of news they heard upon returning to town was that Shen Xinyi had been transferred. Liu Ruyan found out by phone that Shen Xinyi had been transferred to the county bureau.
"Sister Xinyi got promoted?" Lu Fan asked from the side.
"Like me, she was sent down for experience, and eventually, she will return to a place arranged by her family. If this hadn't happened, I would have had to leave sooner or later," Liu Ruyan said, lowering her head.
If Lu Fan hadn't caused such a stir at the Liu family this time, she wouldn't have had the courage to break free from the Liu family's control. However, with Shen Xinyi's departure, she had a faint suspicion about the reason...
The village's planting and breeding industries were gradually getting on track. Rabbit meat and wild chickens began to be supplied to hotels in the provincial capital and county town. Moreover, Wang Yan had contacted several large fruit supermarkets in the county town, pushing a large quantity of ripe peaches to the supermarkets.
Many villagers were envious and jealous. The same peaches were sold at five yuan per jin at Lu Fan's doorstep. Lu Fan resold them at ten yuan per jin. At the supermarket, they became fifteen yuan per jin. This was also because Lu Fan was doing his best, buying at more than double the price compared to outside. Otherwise, two or three yuan per jin would have already been an excellent price.
However, the villagers also knew that if they sold it themselves, it would be more arduous, and they would earn half the money. So, they could only look up to Lu Fan, wondering why he could sell things so expensively, and people were scrambling to buy them. That was skill!
Ring ring... A mobile phone rang, and Lu Fan took out his phone.
"Brother Lu Fan! Are you stupid!? Your fruits are available in supermarkets all over the county. How can our club sell them at high prices?" Jiang Chao's dissatisfied voice came from the phone.
Lu Fan suddenly remembered the club he had partnered with Jiang Chao. He was responsible for providing fruits and the Jùshén Dān. Now that Wang Yan was pushing peaches to major supermarkets, it indeed affected the club's ability to raise prices.
"Brother Jiang! The peach season is here, and the quantity is too large. How about this, when my tea trees start yielding, I'll provide you with some," Lu Fan said hurriedly.
"Hahaha! Good, you said it! I've noted it down. But I have another matter to discuss with you, and that's the Jùshén Dān. The demand is very high right now!" Jiang Chao laughed heartily.
"Jùshén Dān! Brother Jiang, how about I give you an extra twenty pills per month!" Lu Fan said after some hesitation.
"Twenty pills are not enough! It should be at least two hundred pills!" Jiang Chao said urgently.
"Two hundred pills? Do you want to work me to death?" Lu Fan said furiously. With so many things to do, where would he find the time to refine so many pills!
"Little brother! Two hundred pills of Jùshén Dān are one hundred thousand yuan. Most people can't earn that much. Besides, you have a share in the club, so work a little harder!" Jiang Chao said quickly.
One hundred thousand a month was a standard that ordinary people could not reach. Moreover, his share in the club was not small. If you took my shares but didn't work hard, where would such a good thing be found!
"Alright! I'll do my best!" Lu Fan shook his head helplessly, immediately realizing what it meant to be indebted to others. Fine, refining pills it is!
...
"Brother Lu Fan!" A voice filled with a bit of joy suddenly reached Lu Fan's courtyard.
Lu Fan looked up and saw Wang Laowai's daughter, Wang Yajie, walking in happily, holding a university admission notice. Wang Laowai followed behind Wang Yajie, chuckling foolishly.
"Yajie! What good news makes you so happy?" Lu Fan guessed immediately, but he asked intentionally.
"Brother Lu Fan! I got into university! Thank you! If my dad hadn't helped you with work back then, I wouldn't have had the chance to go to university," Wang Yajie said excitedly, handing the admission notice to Lu Fan.
"Oh my! It's great that Yajie got into university. Our village has another university student! Yajie! Go tell your mother that I'm treating your whole family to dinner tonight. Come to my place to celebrate!" Zhao Rongrong came out of the house with a face full of smiles. It was indeed worth celebrating that the village had its second university student! Moreover, Wang Laowai had been working diligently during this time, which was quite hard.
"This... this is too embarrassing!" Wang Yajie blushed immediately. She had come to thank Brother Lu Fan. She hadn't expected to get a free meal.
"Sister Yajie! Your whole family should come for dinner tonight. I'll go buy some groceries, and we'll celebrate properly."
After saying that, Lu Fan drove off to buy groceries and also called Wang Yan and Taohua, asking them to come for dinner tonight.
Soon, Lu Fan bought pork knuckles, beef and lamb, prawns, crabs, and sea fish in town, things that villagers usually couldn't bear to eat. He also bought two cases of beer.
When Lu Fan returned, he was a bit stunned! Almost half the village was in his courtyard. Damn it! They all heard that Wang Yajie got into university and came to express their greetings. But why weren't they leaving after their greetings? This clearly showed they had no intention of leaving!
Not only that, but some housewives even took the initiative to help Zhao Rongrong, Taohua, and others cook. When the men saw Lu Fan return, they came to help unload the car.
Seeing Zhao Rongrong looking worriedly at the side, Lu Fan smiled. His mother must have been worried that the groceries he bought wouldn't be enough. Alright! Since it's a celebration, let's celebrate properly!
