CHAPTER 1175: CHAPTER 1171: THE MEANING BEHIND THE PRICE

Wang Qingyue and Li Han each drove their own cars, one ahead and one behind, so Chen Yang wasn’t too worried about their safety.

So after they left, he quickly went to the backyard again, picked out five or six boxes of wild mandarins, and gave them to Wu Kexin.

Wu Kexin looked at the wild mandarins Chen Yang brought, and couldn’t help but smile, "I don’t need these. I can just call my family about the promotion, and then send some to the town later. I don’t want to bring them back."

"Hey, these aren’t for promotion, they’re for you to eat. You work so hard, keep two boxes in the office, and grab them whenever you feel like it," Chen Yang persuaded.

Wu Kexin felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing this.

"Yes, Kexin, take them. You work so hard, it’s good for you to eat more fruit," Dai Annie chimed in, agreeing with Chen Yang.

"Alright, I’ll accept them, then,"

Wu Kexin gladly accepted.

After that, Wu Kexin didn’t rush to leave but stayed in the clinic for a while to discuss the pricing of the wild mandarins with Chen Yang.

The packaging and taste of the wild mandarins were fine, both leaning towards the high-end market.

Wu Kexin’s opinion was to directly set the price the same as the high-end mandarins on the market, which seemed most appropriate.

But Chen Yang had a different opinion.

"I think it would be appropriate to price it a bit lower. Aren’t they priced at over a thousand yuan per box? We can set the price at eight hundred and eighty-eight. It sounds auspicious, and since it’s a new product, we can increase the price after capturing the market," Chen Yang said.

Wu Kexin thought for a moment in silence after hearing Chen Yang’s pricing, then nodded, "Hmm, that’s a good suggestion. In business, people really believe in these things, and eight hundred and eighty-eight is a great price."

Seeing that Wu Kexin also thought it was good, Chen Yang didn’t hesitate and promptly set the price.

Eight hundred and eighty-eight per box! Symbolizing fortune!

"Alright, let’s go with that. Once Li Han and Qingyue help open the market, I’ll make my move," Chen Yang said with a slight cunning smile.

After discussing most of the matters and seeing that it was getting late, Wu Kexin didn’t stay longer at Chen Yang’s place and asked him to take her back to the village office.

After dropping Wu Kexin off at the village office, Chen Yang didn’t linger, just left the fruit and left directly.

...

The next morning, after Chen Yang and Dai Annie finished breakfast and were about to head out for a walk,

a luxury car suddenly appeared at the door.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a luxury car, Chen Yang was puzzled.

Because he had never seen this luxury car and didn’t know who was coming.

However, Dai Annie knew it.

"Isn’t that my family’s car? Why did it suddenly appear here?" Dai Annie said in surprise.

"That’s your family’s car?"

Chen Yang was even more puzzled upon hearing this.

"Yes, the model and license plate are the same, so it can’t be wrong," Dai Annie nodded and was ready to check it out with Chen Yang.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the car door opened.

A bodyguard wearing a suit and sunglasses stepped out from the driver’s seat.

The bodyguard, who had a serious face a moment ago, immediately walked over politely upon seeing Dai Annie and Chen Yang.

"Miss!"

The bodyguard called out respectfully to Dai Annie as he approached.

Dai Annie immediately recognized the man; he was indeed her family’s bodyguard.

"Why are you here suddenly? Did you come to help transport the wild mushrooms?" Dai Annie asked curiously.

The bodyguard shook his head, "No, Miss, the old master sent me to bring you back."

"Bring me back? Why?" Dai Annie’s expression turned sour. She had been having a great time at Chen Yang’s house and didn’t want to leave.

"It’s like this, Miss. The matriarch hasn’t been feeling well for the past few days and has been at the hospital for recuperation. So, the old master wants you to accompany her for some days to help with her recovery," the bodyguard explained truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Dai Annie’s expression turned concerned, "Is Grandma ill? Is it serious?"

"Don’t worry, Miss. The matriarch is fine, it’s just a minor issue," the bodyguard reassured.

Relieved, Dai Annie thought for a moment before turning to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, Grandma adores me the most. Whenever she’s unwell, I’m always by her side, so I need to go back today."

Of course, since Dai Annie had to go back to take care of her grandmother, it was the right thing to do, and Chen Yang wouldn’t try to stop her.

"Okay, then you should go back and be careful on the road. Give my regards to the matriarch," Chen Yang said immediately.

"Hmm, hmm."

Dai Annie nodded and then prepared to get in the car.

"Wait, hold on a second." Chen Yang suddenly thought of something and stopped Dai Annie. He quickly turned and went to the backyard to pack several boxes of wild mandarins.

"Everyone else got some, so you should take some back too. It’s a small gesture to the Dai family and the matriarch," Chen Yang said with a smile.

The previous mandarins sent to Li Han and Wang Qingyue had a little bit of promotional intent from Chen Yang,

but those he gave to Dai Annie were purely a gesture of goodwill.

Dai Annie understood Chen Yang’s intention, so she took them without saying much, just nodded.

"Well... I’m leaving then."

Dai Annie took the wild mandarins and got into the car.

From the car window, Dai Annie’s eyes were filled with reluctance.

These days, she had been with Chen Yang all along. Being suddenly told to leave without any preparation naturally made her feel a bit uneasy.

Seeing the mist in her eyes, Chen Yang smiled, patted her hair, and comforted, "Silly, you’re just going back to see Grandma. There’s no need to cry. Once the matriarch is better and you have time, you can come back."

"Hmph, I’m not crying, it’s just that some dust got into my eyes," Dai Annie said, trying to hold back her tears.

Actually, it’s not just Dai Annie who felt so reluctant. Chen Yang felt the same way.

But there was no choice; the Dai family’s matriarch wasn’t well, and as her granddaughter, Dai Annie had to be there for her.

He only kept it in so as not to add to Dai Annie’s reluctance.

"Hehe, alright then, go back and be happy. Send me a message when you get home to let me know you’re safe." Chen Yang smiled and patted her head again, and after they exchanged a few more words,

Dai Annie left.

After Dai Annie left, Chen Yang didn’t leave immediately. He watched until the car disappeared from sight before he went out alone to wander around the constant temperature room area.

It wasn’t until around eleven o’clock, close to noon, that he returned home to prepare some lunch for himself.

But as soon as he stepped into the kitchen, he received a call from Yang Caiyun.

She said the new store’s renovation was completed today, and it would open in a few days. So she wanted to have lunch with Chen Yang today to celebrate a bit in advance.

Upon seeing the message, Chen Yang thought it over and didn’t refuse.

He replied "okay," asked Yang Caiyun where to meet, then grabbed two boxes of fruit, and drove off.
