Jin Chengwen looked at Shen Yao, who was as calm as ever, and Shen Huaisang, who was fuming. Those who didn't know the situation would have thought Liu Heng was the one being teased.
"You speak," Jin Chengwen said, looking at Xiao Li, who was keeping his head down.
Upon hearing Jin Chengwen call him, Xiao Li straightened his posture and recounted everything he had witnessed to Jin Chengwen.
Jin Chengwen listened to the entire account, his face growing so grim it looked like ink could drip from it. "Liu Heng, I remember the boss explicitly forbade you from appearing at the store. If you cause any more trouble here, Song Zhi will have to leave immediately!"
With that, Jin Chengwen pulled out his phone, preparing to call Song Zhi.
Hearing that Jin Chengwen was going to call his brother-in-law, Liu Heng immediately backed down. "Brother Jin, Brother Jin, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to the store, and I shouldn't have caused trouble. Please be magnanimous and spare me this once."
"You should be apologizing to someone else, not me," Jin Chengwen said, his meaning clear.
Liu Heng, hearing this, quickly turned to Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I spoke carelessly just now. Please forgive me..."
Seeing that Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang were unwilling to engage with Liu Heng, Jin Chengwen simply instructed Xiao Li to escort Liu Heng and Wu Mengjiao out.
"I am truly sorry for letting you two encounter such a situation in the store. As compensation for our mistake, we'll offer you a 10% discount on all our cars!" Jin Chengwen said.
This was the most generous discount he could offer.
Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang were very interested in the compensation Jin Chengwen offered. After all, the cars they were buying were not cheap, and a 10% discount would easily save them over a hundred thousand yuan!
"When can we pick up the cars?" Shen Yao asked.
"These two models are both new this year. Besides the display cars, there's only one of each model left in stock. We can deliver the remaining two cars tomorrow afternoon," Jin Chengwen replied.
"Alright, swipe the card. Please complete all the paperwork, and we'll take this car today. Deliver the remaining three cars to Puhe County for us tomorrow," Shen Yao said.
Jin Chengwen took the card and quickly completed all the procedures. As Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang left, they drove off in the new SUV.
After leaving the 4S store, Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang headed straight for the logistics hub. Because they had bought multiple cars and had to wait for the paperwork, Jin Chengwen treated them to a meal at the store before they left.
Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang parked their car and went to G-Tong Logistics. As soon as they arrived at the hub, they saw bundles and bundles of saplings stacked next to the station.
Shen Yao and the other walked over, confirmed their order with the logistics staff, and after verifying it was indeed Shen Yao's order, the staff asked them to count the quantity.
Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang began to count the saplings.
It had to be said that the senior was truly honest; he said he would get 5,000 saplings, and he really got 5,000 saplings.
Each variety was labeled, so Shen Yao only needed to verify the quantity before signing.
After signing, the logistics station staff told Shen Yao and the others to find their own trucks to transport the saplings back.
5,000 saplings were quite a lot, and it took two trucks to barely fit them all.
Shen Yao felt that it was too troublesome to pick up saplings like this every time, and it would be better to have them delivered directly to their home.
So Shen Yao mentioned it to the station owner, asking them to deliver to the village next time. The owner was initially unwilling, as Puhe County was more than two hours away from the village.
However, Shen Yao offered too much, so the owner "reluctantly" agreed.
After sorting everything out, Shen Huaisang drove the car, following the two trucks laden with saplings slowly back home.
The truck drivers drove very fast. By the time Shen Yao and Shen Huaisang returned, half of the saplings had already been unloaded.
Seeing Shen Yao return, Shen's father hurried over. "You bought cars too?"
His daughter had said long ago that she wanted to buy a car, and she was driving a new one now. He figured it must be the car his daughter bought.
"Yes, I bought it. Not only did I buy one, but I also bought one for you and your brothers," Shen Yao said.
"Oh, you bought for us too? As expected, my youngest daughter cares about me the most," Shen Jun said with a smile. No man dislikes cars; if they did, it would only be because the car wasn't good enough.
What Shen Jun didn't know was that Shen Yao meant one for each person. He thought she had just bought one extra car.
With a large family, one car wouldn't be enough, but two cars would be just right.
So, the next day, when Shen Jun saw three brand new cars at home, he was completely taken aback.
As expected, his youngest daughter spent even more money after getting rich. He had to work harder quickly, or he wouldn't be able to support them.
The saplings were unloaded by the villagers who were helping at Shen Yao's house. After Shen Yao paid, the truck drivers drove away.
The unloaded saplings were then transported to the cleared mountain by electric tricycles or motorcycles.
When clearing the land, the first decision Shen Yao made was to build a road that vehicles could use. Of course, it wasn't for cars or trucks, but at least it had to be passable for agricultural tricycles.
"Yao Yao is truly far-sighted. Fortunately, the road was built, otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to get these saplings up here," Shen Jun said with emotion.
Shen Yao was very happy to hear this. "Of course. You don't know who I am."
Seeing Shen Yao's smug expression, Shen Huaisang and Shen Jun couldn't help but laugh.
After dinner, Shen Yao received a video call from the group chat.
As soon as Shen Yao opened it, she saw the faces of Xia Chao, Wang Xixi, and Zhou Yanan appearing on the screen.
"Yao Yao! Have you become even more beautiful again!" Wang Xixi's loud voice exclaimed.
"Ah, really, I thought you were already beautiful last time, and now you look even better. Is there any justice left in the world!" Xia Chao said.
"Yao Yao, did you secretly use something good? Look at me, I'm your long-lost daughter. Save this child," Zhou Yanan pleaded.
Zhou Yanan's ancestral home was in the south. Although her family later moved to H Province, she grew up in the south. It was unknown if it was because she was often exposed to the sun when she was young, but she had been dark-skinned since childhood.
She was pitch black as a child. Although she wasn't as dark now, she was still quite dark compared to others, so Zhou Yanan also had a nickname, "Black Beauty."
Since growing up, whitening had become Zhou Yanan's obsession. Anything that claimed to be able to whiten her skin, she would try. For example, if drinking lemon water could make her fairer, she would drink lemon juice all day. Or if pearl powder could whiten skin, she would apply it three times a day.
It had reached a state of obsession. Of course, all those methods had failed, without exception.
