Chapter 1748: Generosity at others' expense

The leaders of Bai Yu County were driving, and at this moment, their soles, their entire legs, and their waists were all exerting force!

They wished they could spray sparks out of the accelerator, and everyone would be done with it!

To say something that doesn't fit their status, they really hated it to death!

For the sake of Bai Yu County's grape sales, they had spent many days worrying so much they couldn't eat or sleep.

This mess falling into their hands, besides being their mission, was also truly out of empathy, compassion, and responsibility.

During the few days the streamer came, although they accompanied the young people of the current generation without having to drink and brag, they were also on pins and needles.

They guarded the whole time during the live stream, and at night when the streamer was resting, they were still patrolling everywhere, striving not to let this great situation have any trouble, and not to lose face to the point of being under people's feet.

Now it's good, how long has it been since they left?

Has it been three hours?

I'm afraid they haven't even arrived home yet.

But look at the website link, and then look at the online store on the live streaming platform, the announcement has already been issued!

Such a big store, the reputation cannot be damaged, and now it is really impossible to recover!

Look at the village group again, and the several calls that the village secretary made in a hurry, a group of people felt their foreheads were about to twitch with pain.

At this moment, after answering the phone, he said unpleasantly:

"Urge, urge, urge, what are you urging for?! Am I not anxious too?!"

When he received the call, he was driving to the city, preparing to report happily to the leaders!

As a result, the streamer's relative, that girl who looked like a fairy, was exceptionally efficient in doing things, didn't talk much but could also make decisions—that girl, also said in a gentle and harmonious way:

"Sorry, leader, I just received the news, our county..."

He was full of anger when he thought of this!

Not at the streamer, but at this group of useless people!

"People posted the matter in the group first, and then notified us here, do you know what this means?!"

"It means they didn't give us a chance to smooth things over!"

"Do you know how much money that big streamer earns a day? This order couldn't be taken by anyone in Ningcheng, it was all relying on thick-skinned old face to beg the old leaders from before! People gave face to invite them over!"

"... Commission of five yuan? Is the commission a lot? Why don't you look at his previous live streams? Does he lack your five yuan? His own family's fruit can sell for one hundred! Can sell for one hundred!!! And it has to be snatched, do you know that?"

Hoarse and exhausted, the broken gong voice was shouted out, but the fire in the lungs was burning more and more vigorously.

On the other end, the village secretary was also worried to death.

He was so old, being scolded to his face, was it easy to feel good?

But then, looking at Gu Laosan, who was sitting to the side, head buried, smoking, and occasionally wiping away tears with his thumb...

What could he do? What could he do?

He couldn't help anyone.

His own garden had to rely on others so as not to lose all his capital.

After the leader finished venting his anger and hung up the phone, he also took a puff of his cigarette, and then sighed to Old San Gu:

"You saw it too, everyone up and down is begging them, there's no way."

"Also, the one responsible for watching your garden is called Minghe, right? Look at the young man, he is serious and upright, don't you guess where he retired from?"

"Such a person is willing to be a security guard, do you think the streamer doesn't have energy?"

"You are still tough, what are you tough about? Caught once and still not knowing how to be interesting, and still want to be caught a second time?"

As he spoke, he also buried his head and took a fierce drag of his cigarette. Soon, only the butt remained, which he gloomily ground out against the cement floor:

"Tell me, after this incident, will they come again if we invite them next year?"

Old San Gu was really regretful.

But he was also really aggrieved:

"I picked out the unqualified ones, he fined me, he wanted to deduct my payment, I admit it. Why refund the ones that were sold originally? My grapes were already cut..."

"What to do, what to do?"

He grabbed the village secretary's hand: "Uncle, I did a bad thing out of confusion, but that is my own relative—I couldn't open my face to refuse... You help me say a few words, you help me say a few good words!"

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth again: "I'll give him a commission of eight yuan! Ten yuan, ten yuan is fine! The grapes I picked can't be hung back on the tree, they are going to rot, they are really going to rot!"

He was hoarse and exhausted, and also equally sorrowful.

The village secretary shook his head:

"People warned you, they are all signed contracts. Like your situation, people are not responsible."

Even before signing the contract, the streamer's group simply explained the terms of this situation.

The village secretary didn't know what to do besides sighing.

"The county leaders are coming. This matter affects not only your own family, but also other people's business."

"And, the link here is canceled as soon as they say it. People don't want your five yuan, and even pay for that green pepper sauce, they would rather cancel it."

Old San Gu raised his head:

"I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it! I'll compensate each customer with a few more packs, can they not refund?"

"What you're saying is all fart!"

The village secretary's wife saw this scene from the side, staring at him with wide eyes:

"I tell you, Old San Gu! Don't pretend to be pitiful here! Do you know that by doing this, you are cutting off the path for all of us in the village?"

"People took the business that others didn't dare to take, and came to help us, do you think this commission is a lot? For them, it's not enough for a day's hard work, right?"

"So many security guards were transferred to help us watch the quality, do you think people have money to play with?!"

"Such expensive instruments are still locked in the house and couldn't be pulled away, several experts specially transferred are sampling and testing from house to house..."

With such a big scene, who can't see that people are wholeheartedly trying to make things impeccable?

Let alone other people's houses, even the village secretary's own family picking grapes, it's whatever people say.

If they say it's unqualified, no matter if he didn't see where it was unqualified, anyway, it has to be put in the inferior products!

Taking a step back, no matter who comes, being able to divide their grapes into grades A, B, and C and sell them at a high price of 40 a jin, he recognizes no matter how they toss!

No wonder the secretary's wife is so angry!

Her family's goods haven't been packed yet, her phone is out of power, and she is afraid of delaying the call of the person sending water, so she hurriedly prepared to go back to get the charger.

As a result, before she got home, she saw Old San Gu who almost knelt down at the village department.

Asking about the reason again, looking at the store notification—

Well!

To tell the truth, her eyes were black.

So scolding at this moment, it was also without half a bit of fellow villager sentiment:

"... It was hard to divide the fruit into A, B, and C to sell at a high price, you tell me! Even in previous years, even if you sold it yourself! Have you ever sold it at such a price?"

"You are not satisfied, you even put the inferior products of relatives inside!"

"You fulfilled the sentiment of relatives, but when people eat it and it's not good, the streamer's reputation is ruined, and our Bai Yu County's reputation is also not good..."

She was scolding while panting, feeling that her cheeks were aching again.

Old San Gu was also sorrowful, like every helpless man:

"That is my own relative, who saved my life when I was young—"

"Bah!"

The secretary's wife was originally a spicy character, and at this moment, she originally wanted to keep some sentiment, and didn't intend to say it so thoroughly.

But she didn't expect Old San Gu to cry and pretend to be pitiful, while urging her husband, and also having rebuttals and arguments everywhere.

Is this sincerely admitting mistakes? Is this guilty?

This made her anger rise from her heart.

Because the grapes couldn't be sold this year, her gums were inflamed and painful for several days at night, and she didn't have the courage to go to the hospital.

That kind of torture, really, whoever encounters it knows.

The scar hasn't healed yet, and someone has forgotten the pain.

At this moment, she jumped and scolded:

"That saved your life, it didn't save our village's life! Furthermore, if you really have the heart to repay, you act according to the contract, you take their baskets back, and you pay them yourself and say you sold them."

"Those grapes, even if you stuff them into the streamer's car!"

"You tell me, how much can you earn according to your original order?! Can't you afford this money?!"

"You are just stingy! You are just reluctant! You are just wanting to take advantage! That what, that what, that... generosity at others' expense!"

Scolding too fiercely, the talent was surging out, the secretary's wife even used such words!

"You just want to ask netizens to pay for this favor with real money, right?"

After the secretary's wife jumped and scolded, Old San Gu was stunned in place.

The furious leaders:...

Well, they also wanted to say a few words, but why didn't this lady like a river-east lion say it more thoroughly and more in place?

Looking at Old San Gu again, he was also swaying, his face pale.

Seeing the leaders at this moment, he actually let out a "woo" sound, tears and snot flowing together, regretful to the extreme:

"Leader, leader, what should I do? My grapes can't grow back on the tree!"

The secretary's wife raised her eyebrows and wanted to scold again, but the secretary had already gently pulled her and whispered:

"Don't say it, don't say it, if you force people too hard, you don't know what stupid things he will do."

"Besides, isn't the leader here?"

The leaders could actually come later, really, they really needed this lady to speak her mind at this time.

But with this establishment, some things were not easy to say.

At this moment, they endured their anger, as well as the hatred for his failure to meet expectations, and the various entanglements that pitiful people must have hateful aspects, just sighed and stated the facts:

"Even if you hang them back on the tree, aren't these grapes of yours originally unsellable?"

This sentence was a fatal blow.

The entire village department courtyard instantly became quiet.

The leaders were indeed unbearable, and were thinking about how to deal with the following grapes—it was absolutely impossible to list them.

But, his previous name was also on the link, I don't know if it can attract traffic?

Although it's a bit shameless, you can't really watch people have no way out.

However, if the price is set high, no one will buy it, and if it is set cheap, isn't that slapping the streamer's face? Their leaders' faces can be lost...

The problem is, their faces are not worth money either,

Without the reputation endorsement of a big streamer, who would buy it?

They have eaten enough in the supermarket.

Everyone frowned, actually they had thought of some methods on the way, but no matter how they thought, it felt like a dead end.

However, Old San Gu suddenly jumped up, hurriedly wiped his messy nose and face with his sleeves, and then said:

"There are still a few buyers in our village! I'll go ask them if they collect—"

Do the buyers collect?

This is a good question.

Because before Old San Gu rushed out of the gate, there was another noise outside.

Soon, 3 buyers were twisting with the villagers, and they also rushed to the leaders:

"Leader, you have to make the decision for us on this matter!"

?? It's here, hehe! ===== CHAPTER 1749 =====

The furious leaders:...

Well, they wanted to say a few words too, but how did it seem like they hadn't spoken as thoroughly or as pointedly as this shrew-like lady?

Looking at Gu Laosan again, he was also teetering, his face deathly pale.

Seeing the leaders at this moment, he actually let out a wail, tears and snot streaming down, filled with unbearable regret:

"Leaders, leaders, what do I do? My grapes can't grow back onto the trees!"

The branch secretary's wife arched her eyebrows in anger and was about to scold him further, but the branch secretary gently tugged at her and whispered in a suppressed voice:

"Stop talking, stop talking. If you push someone too hard, you don't know what foolish things they might do."

"Besides, didn't the leaders just arrive?"

The leaders could actually have come a bit later, really; at this moment, they very much needed this lady to help them vent their frustrations.

But with their official positions, some things were hard to say out loud.

At this moment, they suppressed their anger, along with the feeling of pity for his lack of ambition, and the various complications of "pitiable people always having something hateful about them," and just sighed, stating the facts:

"Even if you hung them back on the trees, weren't these grapes of yours unable to be sold in the first place?"

This sentence was a fatal blow.

The entire village committee courtyard instantly fell silent.

The leaders truly couldn't bear it and were just thinking about how to handle the remaining grapes—getting them onto the shelves was absolutely impossible.

But, his previous name was also linked to the sales page; I wonder if it can still drive traffic?

Although it's a bit shameless, we can't really watch them reach a dead end, right?

But if the price is set too high, no one will buy them, and if it's set too cheap, isn't that slapping the streamer in the face? They, the leaders, could afford to lose face...

The problem is, their faces aren't worth much either.

Without the credibility endorsement of a big streamer, who would buy them?

They've had enough of eating them in the supermarkets.

Everyone frowned; they had actually thought of some methods on the way, but no matter how they thought about it, it felt like a dead end.

However, Gu Laosan suddenly jumped up, hurriedly wiped his disheveled nose and face with his sleeve, and then said:

"There are still a few buyers in our village! I'll go ask them if they're buying—"

Will the buyers buy?

That is a good question.

Because before Gu Laosan could rush out the gate, there was another commotion outside.

Soon, three buyers, grappling with the villagers, also came rushing toward the leaders:

"Leaders, you have to make the call for us on this matter!"

?? It's here, hehe!
