My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 459: Rush to Buy

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

Although what Lu Youxi was saying seemed complimentary, why did it always feel a bit odd to him?

Zhou Shuyan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and tilting his head, he asked her, "Jealous?"

Lu Youxi was caught off guard by his out-of-the-blue question and thought to herself that she was clearly just teasing him.

How did this man twist it into jealousy?

"Well, not really, since you don’t like them," Lu Youxi said, "If you don’t like them, there’s no need for me to be jealous."

Zhou Shuyan laughed, and his lips lightly kissed her neck, which was within reach.

Wet and warm, it made Lu Youxi shiver unexpectedly.

What is this man doing in broad daylight!

"Having such a handsome husband around, and you remain indifferent?" Zhou Shuyan’s lips grazed her earlobe as he murmured.

Lu Youxi: "..."

In broad daylight!

Yet, despite herself, Lu Youxi still trembled.

Lu Youxi placed her hand on Zhou Shuyan’s, which had found its way there at some unknown point, "It’s daytime."

"I said last night that I wouldn’t let you get out of bed today," Zhou Shuyan said, "I must keep my word."

Lu Youxi: "...there’s no need to be so committed to your word on this matter."

But it was too late for Lu Youxi to protest; she was already picked up by Zhou Shuyan and placed back on the bed.

It so happened that Lu Youxi had just washed her face which was clean, soft, and tender.

Zhou Shuyan’s fingertips rubbed against Lu Youxi’s cheek, as if touching an egg that had just been shelled, soft, white, tender, moist, like tofu so delicate it seemed it would break upon touching.

Zhou Shuyan was true to his word. After coming back today, he indeed did not give Lu Youxi any chance to get out of bed again.

While Lu Youxi was caught up with Zhou Shuyan’s insistence on keeping his word, the village chief was busy handling the logistics of transporting Hexing Rice to various Sincere Supermarkets across the regions.

The village chief made a call back to Hexing Village and especially sent the Village Chief’s Wife to the broadcasting station with a cell phone.

He had the Village Chief’s Wife put the phone on speaker, so when the village chief spoke, all the villagers in Hexing could hear him.

"I have good news to tell everyone. Thanks to Youxi’s efforts and the supermarket leaders’ assessment, our Hexing Village’s B-grade rice has been upgraded to A- and will be transported to various regions today, aiming to be available for sale in Sincere Supermarkets tomorrow."

"Due to the urgency, Youxi pulled many strings to arrange the transportation in time to deliver the rice everywhere by tomorrow. After all, our country is vast, and it’s a tough job to transport the rice from our place to different regions, especially to ensure it arrives by tomorrow."

"It was not easy for Youxi to find someone willing to transport it," the village chief said, "So, fellow villagers, lend a hand too. Let’s prepare the rice quickly, so when the transporters arrive, we can load the rice onto the vehicles immediately."

"If this A- rice sells well, our village will truly be on the path to prosperity!" the village chief joyfully said, "Although our A-grade rice is of high quality, it is sieved out and, therefore, limited in quantity. If we want to make money and get rich, we have to rely on quantity, and that’s where our A- rice comes in."

"So everyone must take this seriously."

Unseen by the village chief, as he spoke, the villagers had already started preparing their rice.

Some bagged it, others weighed it, all too busy to listen attentively.

After finishing, the village chief also called representatives from the other villages involved in the Hexing Rice project.

He asked for their assistance in spreading the word.

Villagers from the other villages couldn’t believe that their Hexing Rice business came about so quickly.

Initially, the village chief, to keep their expectations in check and prevent them from getting too eager, had instructed them not to rush.

Businesses take time to grow.

Everyone was prepared for a wait of at least a month.

But to their surprise, progress came much sooner than expected.

Even the few who were skeptical about Lu Youxi bringing prosperity to their village and thought her efforts were merely to pacify them, preventing them from being bought out by factories to sabotage Hexing, were taken aback.

It seemed Lu Youxi was genuinely and earnestly working on the sale of their A- rice.

This revelation shook everyone, realizing that Lu Youxi was truly leading them to wealth, not just the people of Hexing Village.

The villagers from the other villages instantly became motivated, even disregarding the constant incitement from factories to cause trouble for Hexing Village.

After all, what’s better: sneaky dealings with factories or earning honest money?

Everyone prepared their rice thoroughly and even checked it carefully, fearing any flaw that might result in rejections. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Particularly since the village chief mentioned the buying price, it gave everyone more incentive to get involved.

With Zhou Shuyan and Shi Yusheng personally overseeing, the transportation of Hexing Rice naturally wasn’t an issue.

The next day, whether earlier or later, all deliveries successfully reached the supermarkets before noon.

The supermarket staff inventoried and shelved the rice, and sales officially began.

Some customers thought the A-grade Hexing Rice was a bit expensive, and although the A- rice was only half a grade lower, it was offered at the price of B-grade rice. Combined with the supermarket’s promotional discounts, it was indeed a bargain, leading them to buy a package to try.

Of course, there were some objections, "A- rice is just a gimmick. In essence, it is still B-grade rice. The sellers certainly wouldn’t let themselves make a loss. It’s probably still B-grade rice with a new name to look like it’s been upgraded, priced cheaper than the corresponding grade to lure those looking for a bargain."

But even those who thought this way were swayed by the promotional discounts, making the A- rice even more affordable and not much different from the price of their usual rice purchases.

Thus, customers who came to replenish their rice supply saw the price, noted the grade and quality, and decided to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, it tasted quite good.

Although there was a gap compared to the A-grade rice, reassuring customers about the value for money behind Hexing Rice, the promotional price was too good to pass up.

Even if it returned to the original price, it was still within an acceptable range for them, suitable as a staple.

As a result, some customers who hadn’t finished their new purchase of A- rice went back to the supermarket to stock up while it was cheap.

In just three days, both A and A- grades of Hexing Rice at the supermarket were out of stock.

The supermarket had no choice but to contact Lu Youxi again.

The villagers of Hexing and nearby villages hurried to process more rice to supply to Sincere Supermarket.

However, the scarcer the product, the more people clamored to buy it.

Fearing they might miss out, everyone scrambled to make a purchase.

Hence, whether it was the A-grade or A- rice from Hexing, as soon as it hit the shelves, it was snapped up instantly.

This created a cycle.

Whenever Hexing Rice was stocked, fearing they might not get it, everyone rushed to buy it.
