44: way

While Chen Su was deep in a brainstorming session about how to sell the peaches, midnight quietly arrived.

The Intelligence System briefly dragged him out of the quagmire of his thoughts.

[Today's Intelligence Refreshed]

[Today's Intelligence 1 (D-rank): Sun Ziyi, who is engaged in "import-export trade" in the Poly Champagne International Community in Maple City, has contracted HIV. Host, please maintain personal hygiene.]

[Today's Intelligence 2 (C-rank): The chairman of Fuhua Group has two sons; the elder is eleven and the younger is six. Neither of them is his biological child.]

"What on earth is this?"

"Why is it all just gossip today..." Early the next morning, after Chen Su got out of bed, he ran to all the major pharmacies and bought 210 boxes of oseltamivir.

He had originally intended to buy this medicine yesterday.

But he had ended up crashing his electric bike into a tree.

So the purchase was delayed until today.

After bringing the medicine home, he arranged 5,000 catties of peaches for A-Ming from the cold chain warehouse.

A-Ming arranged for his family's truck to come and pick up the goods.

Calculating it at seventeen yuan per catty, he collected 85,000 yuan from A-Ming... It was twelve o'clock noon.

"Brother Chen, I've thoroughly looked into the matter you mentioned yesterday."

"Someone from Tiansheng Group named Gao Zilong put the word out. He said that if any supermarket or farmers' market in all of Maple City dares to accept your peaches, they can forget about ever working with Tiansheng Group again."

As expected.

Things were exactly as Chen Su had suspected; someone was indeed playing tricks behind the scenes.

"Um, Brother Chen, could you give me another 5,000 catties of peaches? The boss I asked around with this morning is a friend of my dad's. He wants 5,000 catties, and I plan to sell them to him for 21 yuan a catty."

Chen Su rolled his eyes. "This is the last 5,000 catties. I don't have any more to spare."

"Alright!"

His bank card received another transfer of 85,000 yuan from A-Ming.

In less than an hour, the truck from A-Ming's family supermarket arrived at the Cold Chain Logistics Park again.

There were still 90,000 catties left.

Chen Su looked at the warehouse behind him, which was still quite full, and fell back into deep thought... Hengchen Group Headquarters.

"Boss, the 100,000 catties of peaches Mr. Chen bought recently have been sabotaged by Liu Tianchuan. Now there are 90,000 catties left that he can't sell. Should we buy them all at once?"

"No need. I believe he can sell them."

Inside the office, the stunningly beautiful woman didn't even look up from her phone.

"Yes!"

"Wait, I remember Tiansheng Group recently had their eye on that plot of land next to the Wetland Park, right?"

"Yes. According to reports from our informants, they are determined to get that land."

"Snatch it from them."

"Understood!"

When the man stepped out of the office, his back was completely drenched in sweat.

Every time he reported to the boss, it felt like going to war.

It was fine if it was good news, but he dreaded bad news like today's.

Just then, a phone rang inside the office.

After seeing the caller ID,

The gloomy face of the beautiful woman in the office instantly cleared up like the sun coming out after a storm.

"Hello, Chen Su?"

"...I'm free, I'm free. Where are you? I'll come find you right away."

Her current joyful appearance made her seem like a completely different person from a moment ago.

Someone who didn't know her might have thought she had a split personality.

This stunning woman was none other than Li Chuxia, the boss of Hengchen Group... Cold Chain Logistics Park.

Li Chuxia's car stopped at the entrance of the cold storage where Chen Su kept his peaches.

"Wow, are all those peaches yours? peaches are my favorite!" Li Chuxia acted as if she had just found out that Chen Su had stocked up on a large quantity of peaches.

"Then eat as many as you want. Eat your fill," Chen Su said with a smile.

"Why did you ask me to come here?" Li Chuxia got back to the point.

"I remember you have six million followers on your short video account. Could you help me by doing a livestream to sell some peaches?" Chen Su looked at Li Chuxia expectantly.

"I could, but I've never streamed before. I don't know if I'll be able to sell them."

"It's okay, just give it a try. Sell as many as you can, and I'll find another way to sell the rest."

Based on his observations over the past few days, Chen Su had discovered that most of Li Chuxia's followers were active users.

Half of the haters who were flaming him across the internet were actually Li Chuxia's fans.

That was why he thought of having Li Chuxia try a livestream.

When the time came, if Li Chuxia just acted a bit cute in the stream, a huge crowd of fans would surely rush to buy them.

"Right now, the market price is 28 yuan per catty. I plan to sell 5 catties for 119 yuan with free shipping. What do you think?"

"Sure, I'll follow your lead," Li Chuxia nodded.

"I'll give you a 4 yuan commission for every catty sold."

"Oh, we're friends. It's only right to help each other out. You don't need to give me money."

Chen Su shook his head. "Business is business. If I hired another streamer, I'd have to pay them commission too. Rather than letting someone else earn it, I'd rather give it to you. Keep the wealth in the family."

...Li Chuxia took out her phone and posted a teaser for a livestream at 3:30 PM.

A few minutes later, the comment section was at 999+.

[Thank God, the Princess is finally going live!!!]

...[The Eldest Miss has arrived, everyone out of the way!! (facepalm)]

[Who else understands the shock of opening a short video and seeing the Princess's livestream teaser!]

...As more and more people commented, Chen Su became even more confident that he could sell all the peaches at once... After everything was settled, Chen Su rode his electric bike to a cardboard box factory to order 18,000 gift boxes.

They would be used for the peaches.

3:00 PM.

He brought Li Chuxia to a temporary streaming location he had rented.

At 3:30, the stream started on time.

As soon as Li Chuxia showed her face, bullet comments filled the screen.

[Ahhh! So beautiful! Why don't I look like that?~~~]

...[She's exactly how I imagined a character in a CEO novel; the youthful female lead finally has a face.]

[She is the perfect wife of my dreams.]

..."Hello everyone. This is my first time streaming, so I don't have much experience. Please bear with me."

Li Chuxia politely greeted the fans in the livestream room.

There were so many bullet comments that she couldn't even read them all.

She picked a few to interact with.

As she spoke, she picked a large, plump peach from a plate nearby and took a small bite.

Bullet comments flew across the screen.

[Princess, I want to eat peaches too, but I can't buy them at all right now. In Shanghai, the price has already risen to 35 yuan a catty.]

[The Goddess's face is even juicier than the peach.]

..."Friends, if you want to buy some, a friend of mine happens to be selling them. If you need any, I can help you get in touch. They are a bit expensive right now; I think they're selling for about 24 yuan a catty."

Chen Su silently gave a thumbs up from the side.

[Sisters, did I hear that right? Only 24 a catty? Princess, Princess, help me buy ten catties.]

[I want 20 catties~~]

..."Friends who want to buy, please type '111' in the chat."

[111]

"111*10"

..."111*9999"

The entire screen was covered with '111'.

"Then, I'll go ask for you."

Li Chuxia took out her phone and sent a message to Chen Su with a serious expression.
