“Sure, no problem.” Before they came, Chu Huan and Luo Fei had learned that the wholesale price of yellow peaches was 6 yuan per kilogram. It was naturally a good thing that the orchard owner had taken the initiative to lower the price.
“The loading and unloading will finish before six o’clock tonight. Are you getting your own transportation or should I arrange for it?” Huo Yun continued to press the ballpoint pen in his hand as he spoke indifferently.
“We’ll make the arrangements,” Luo Fei hastily replied.
This was an important link.
“Do as you please.” Huo Yun spread out his hands, indicating that he did not mind.
“Mr. Huo, what’s the difference between the truck you arrange for and the truck we choose?” Chu Huan, on the other hand, could faintly hear Huo Yun’s implied meaning.
“It’s nothing actually. It’s just that I, Huo Yun, am most particular about integrity and responsibility when doing business. As you can see, my orchard is very large in scale, because doing business with me is a very pleasant and guaranteed matter. Since you’ve prepared your own transportation, it’s fine. After all, this is the first time you’re doing business with me. It’ll be fine as long as we’re familiar with each other in the future,” Huo Yun smiled, a hint of pride on his weathered face.
“The current social security conditions may be much better, but more than a decade ago, when the trucks passed through certain sections, some people would specifically kidnap the truck drivers. After all, those people made a living by doing so. And no one would ever dare to hijack a truck that goes out of my orchard,” Huo Yun added.
“So it’s like this.” Chu Huan was enlightened.
No wonder the orchard owner asked them if it was their first time doing business. They didn’t expect there to be things to take note of.
“Luo Fei, why don’t you cancel the truck driver’s job? We can get a truck from Mr. Huo and head to M City,” Chu Huan asked Luo Fei.
“Well, I don’t think it’s appropriate because I’ve paid the fare in advance. If I breach the contract, I may have to pay several times the fare. Also, didn’t you say that the public order is much better now? Such preposterous things won’t happen again,” Luo Fei said with somewhat awkwardly.
He couldn’t change his vehicle. If he did, he wouldn’t be able to get paid.
“Alright.” Hearing Luo Fei say this, Chu Huan could only let it go.
However, Huo Yun looked at Luo Fei in surprise, but did not say anything.
Around five in the evening, Chu Huan and Luo Fei appeared at the entrance of the orchard.
Looking at the large truck in front of him, Chu Huan felt a little emotional.
His and Luo Fei’s hopes were all pinned on the truck’s dozen tons of yellow peaches, packed in crates.
“Get on. When we reach M City, we’ll just put these yellow peaches in the warehouse we rented in advance,” Luo Fei said with anticipation.
“Alright.” Chu Huan nodded.
“By the time we reach M City, it’ll probably be past eight in the evening. By then, we’ll have to wait until tomorrow morning before we can unpack the truckload of yellow peaches,” Chu Huan said to Luo Fei after he got into the carriage.
However, Luo Fei did not pay any attention to this at the moment.
He was chatting on his phone.
“I’m talking to you, did you hear me?” Chu Huan asked.
“I heard you. We’ll talk when we get there,” Luo Fei replied, but his expression was already somewhat impatient.
Seeing this, Chu Huan didn’t say anything more.
He suddenly felt that he should not have listened to Luo Fei’s side of the story and given him all his savings.
Although they were friends, he had never done anything with Luo Fei before this.
Now that they had worked together, Chu Huan felt that Luo Fei was unreliable and gave him an inexplicable feeling.
Chu Huan had a vague feeling that Luo Fei didn’t seem to care much about whether this batch of yellow peaches could be successfully sold when transported to M City.
However, he felt that Luo Fei would not deceive him.
After all, his family was already in such a miserable state. It was a good thing that he wanted to earn money through his own efforts.
Chu Huan didn’t expect Luo Fei to be uttering nothing but untruths…
Luo Fei stared at his phone screen and suddenly burst into laughter.
“What’s wrong? What are you laughing at?” Chu Huan asked, perplexed, as he looked at Luo Fei beside him.
“Nothing. I just feel that it’s meaningful to work hard.” Luo Fei casually made up an excuse.
In his eyes, Chu Huan was easy to fool.
Just a moment ago, after confirming that Chu Huan was in the passenger seat of the truck, Luo Fei’s private bank account suddenly sent a message. Someone had transferred 100,000 yuan to him.
