Gu Chen was naturally overjoyed at this as well, and hurried forward.
'The goods are always available. I'll call and arrange for another batch to be delivered. Second Brother, you go deliver them quickly, so that the people don't have to wait long.'
Gu He also nodded forcefully with joy, saying repeatedly,
'I was just a little excited, so I thought I'd come over first and tell you and your wife the good news.'
He said this and quickly turned around, ready to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods. But before he could go out the door, he was stopped by Ji Pianran's voice.
'Hey, wait.'
Gu He stopped with some confusion, turned around and looked at Ji Pianran standing across from him.
And Gu Chen, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask out loud:
'Wife, is there anything else you need to tell me?'
Ji Pianran's smile carried a hint of mystery, and at the same time, she softly instructed the two people full of curiosity.
'We have just moved to the neighbourhood recently. This time, when Erge goes out to deliver the goods, don't forget to give each of the neighbours in the community a fruit basket from our family. It's a way to show our appreciation.'
Gu Chen immediately understood why when she heard this. Just now, she was chatting with the young widow, and she heard it clearly for herself. Everyone who lives in this neighbourhood is either rich or noble.
These people are precisely their target audience for fruit, aren't they?
Gu Chen's fruit is all space-grown, and it is claimed to be imported fruit in order to hide the truth from people.
However, the price is indeed expensive, and only the rich can afford it.
But when it comes to these rich people, there are definitely a lot of them in the community!
He nodded in approval.
'Yes, yes, Piran is right. As the saying goes, a close neighbour is better than a distant relative. In the future, our family will live here for a long time. We will inevitably help each other out as neighbours, and we have caused so much trouble for everyone during this time, so we can't save on this money. Second Brother, remember to bring Qiao Hua with you when the time comes. He is quick-witted, and this token of our appreciation must be delivered.'
Gu He subconsciously glanced over at Ji Piran upon hearing this.
My goodness, how much money will have to be given away?
This is how you're supposed to live your life?
You have to know that the fruits they sell in the store are all high-end, and the basic price tags are several times higher than imported fruits.
Ji Pianran is now going to give away so much for free with just one sentence, which makes him feel a little painful for a while.
He frowned and couldn't help but pull Gu Chen aside and whispered.
'I'm saying, Lao San, why don't you persuade your younger brother and sister-in-law to reconsider? You live in this neighbourhood, and I can see that there must be at least a few hundred households here. If we go to every household and give them a fruit basket, I'm afraid the store's turnover for the next two or three days will be gone. I know your younger brother and sister-in-law come from a good family, but you can't be so extravagant with money.'
Gu Chen of course understood what Ji Pianran was thinking.
He gave his second brother a slight smile.
'It's fine, Er, just go and give it away. Even if you really lose money, it's fine. As long as my wife is happy, I'm willing to let the shop not make any money.'
Ji Pianran was about to burst into tears at these words.
Gu He, who was standing nearby, scratched his head. He saw that his younger brother was speaking so decisively.
Although he still felt that Ji Pianran was a spendthrift, he did not feel comfortable dissuading him.
He quickly took the key again and hurriedly delivered the fruit alone, with his head bowed.
Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen, who looked a little puzzled, but he deliberately refrained from asking.
Then she walked over to him, reached out and gently smoothed out the creases in his collar, and explained to him in a soft voice.
'The quality of our fruit is very good, and even those rich second generation you mentioned before are scrambling to place orders. They are the kind of people who really know good things, but the pricing is just too expensive for the average person to afford. But I just had a chat with Zhang Xiaoru, and I'm basically certain that everyone who lives in our community is either rich or noble.'
'Although we will lose money on this fruit basket, once they have tried our fruit, they will definitely come back to do business with us in the future. And since we are all in the same community and so close to each other, we will make back the money we lose in no time. Maybe in the future, all of our neighbours will become loyal customers of our store.'
After listening to this argument, Gu Chen immediately gave Ji Pianran a thumbs-up.
'My wife is the best!'
'A wise wife means no worries. You're amazing, Piran, you've got such a big market right in front of you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have probably forgotten about these people!'
People need a sense of existence. Although Gu Chen knew the reason why his wife did it, he pretended to know nothing in order to make her happy.
After saying that, he immediately hugged Ji Piran.
Ji Pianran was shocked, blushing with shame, and couldn't help but quickly clench her fists.
She lightly hammered him twice, pouting.
'Hurry up and let me go, there are people behind us watching,'
Gu Chen froze for a moment upon hearing this, and then looked up. Sure enough, the electric bulb named Zhang Xiaoru had not left.
It seemed that she was standing not far away, watching them look so affectionate, wiping her tears alone.
This made him speechless for a moment, but he also knew that in this era, even couples would not show too much intimacy in public.
He looked down at his wife's blushing cheeks in his arms again, hesitated for three seconds.
Finally, with some reluctance, he let go of Ji Pianran's attractive body with its curves.
...
However, while Gu Chen's business was booming, in another spacious manor house...
At that moment, there was a man with a gloomy face, clutching a stack of photos in his hands.
He was so angry that his fingers were turning slightly white from the force of his grip.
Looking at the photo of the happy family, he felt a wave of jealousy and anger that threatened to overwhelm him.
'Ji! Bian! Ran!'
His teeth clenched as he let out a sound that came from the bottom of his throat, and a murderous intent radiated from his body.
'Why? Why?'
He tore the photos to shreds in an instant.
'Why did you leave me and still have the nerve to smile? Why?'
At this moment, his eyes became crazed for a split second.
His originally strong and slender arms were now bulging with rage, and even the veins on the back of his face and hands were flashing faintly.
'Why did you marry someone else in the first place? Why!
What is there about me that is inferior to this piece of trash, Ji Pianran? Why did you do this!'
His heart was filled with resentment and unwillingness in an instant.
'Pop!'
He slammed a red wine glass on the ground.
The red wine quickly spread a bloody colour on the mahogany floor beneath his feet.
However, he did not react at all, just staring at something in front of him with cold eyes.
'Bang bang bang!'
There was another sound of punches and kicks, accompanied by the painful wailing of a woman.
A tall woman wearing a red evening dress could be seen.
She was curled up at his feet, pleading continuously.
However, Xu Qingmu showed no mercy.
