Chapter 429 This money is really tough to swallow.
Director Chen was very pleased with the praise and laughed heartily.
Holding the flowers, he looked at Lao Wu and the others.
"How was it?!"
I'm no newbie.
This tree is in really good condition.
Look at the shape of this plant and the appearance of its leaves.
Gee...
Sister Lin.
Can I have this one?
Name your price.
I am genuinely looking to buy.
In my home, several Cymbidium goeringii plants haven't bloomed for several years, and the Cymbidium ensifolium seedlings I bought from outside haven't bloomed either.
I just want an old variety like yours.
I've seen forced sales, but I've never seen forced purchases.
This is a ghost story.
Lin Qiufeng stood there awkwardly, wiping the sweat from her cheeks, and said, "Boss, this..."
If you like it, you can take it.
Let's not talk about money anymore.
They're all naturally grown things, not worth much money.
You can take it.
Now that you've come, we can't let you leave empty-handed.
Each of you pick one pot.
It's free.
Qiu Feng simply refused to talk about money.
If there's no money involved, maybe everything will be fine?
However, she underestimated the methods and intelligence of the group in front of her.
Seeing that she was willing to give up the flower, Director Chen simply moved it to the trunk of his car and put it there, then took out his wallet.
"Sister Lin, please take care of me."
I see that this pot of flowers has 7 seedlings.
A single seedling can sell for 40 or 50 yuan in the market, and a whole pot can cost over 300 yuan.
"Give me 300, okay?"
This is just a common variety.
They are relatively easy to propagate, and the market price is estimated to be around 20 to 30 seedlings.
Old seedlings and new shoots are generally not worth money.
A potted plant costs at most 100 yuan.
Where do you need three hundred?
Lin Qiufeng waved her hand, not daring to accept it: "No, no, how can this be!"
"I want this pot of large phoenix flowers." Liu Zhiming also went to get one.
Wu Maocai took a pot of the same Dafengsu variety.
The three loaded the flowers into the car.
Old Wu and Executive Director Liu each contributed 200 yuan. Theirs were plain flowers, and they had few seedlings, so they calculated the 200 yuan themselves.
They all knew the market, so they paid double the market price.
It was just a few potted plants; it was only taken down a day ago.
That's 900 yuan.
Qiu Feng dared not accept it.
Chen Shouren gave her several thousand yuan to find flowers, because it was a gift, and the flowers were of a specific variety, even a rare one.
Besides, they are acquaintances and relatives, and they are looking out for Qiu Feng. It's fine for Qiu Feng to accept their offer.
But these people in front of her had nothing to do with Qiu Feng, so she dared not take them.
"Gentlemen, I really dare not take this money, what if..."
Executive Director Liu raised his hand to stop Qiu Feng from speaking: "If you don't take it, won't we be stealing your flowers?"
"Do you expect us to unload it from the car for you?"
Qiu Feng looked at him with difficulty: "This...that's not what I meant..."
"I know you're afraid of getting into trouble," Executive Director Liu said with a smile, hoping to put the other party at ease. "You're overthinking it."
A few potted plants, a normal business transaction, what's the problem?
No matter how much you argue, there's no problem.
You earn your money through your labor, and we like to buy your earnings.
What's wrong with that?
That sounds plausible.
At this moment, Qiu Feng didn't know what to do, and she didn't want to offend these people.
They are all important figures in Yuanshan County.
Offending him would affect Dawei's work.
While Qiu Feng was still in a daze, the group got into the car.
What made Qiu Feng even more uneasy was yet to come.
After Director Wu and the others left.
Chen Qi'an, the head of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission of Yuanshan County, who had been dealt with by Zheng Zhiguo and Lao Wu, also came to Dashi Village and bought a pot of orchids from Qiu Feng, also giving her 200 yuan.
Director Li, the director of the Wufeng County Government Office, even came in a minibus and bought the last 7 pots of orchids from Qiufeng's family for 2000 yuan.
They also gave Qiu Feng a deposit of 2000 yuan.
"Comrade Qiufeng, the county has an important task for you."
We plan to set up an orchid garden in the fiber guesthouse.
Used to improve the living environment of leaders.
This is an important matter.
This 2,000 is a deposit.
When you have time, please send us another 20 orchids.
At 300 per plant, that's 6000.
I will pay you the remaining 4000 in one lump sum when the time comes.
There is no time limit; send over as many trees as you find.
Thanks a lot."
Dashi Village is under the jurisdiction of Wufeng County, and Director Li came with the town mayor and the village head of Dashi Village.
How could Qiu Feng dare to refuse?
That's how I received several thousand yuan a day.
This money is really tough to swallow.
After finishing her chores at home, Qiu Feng prepared to go to Yuanshan County.
This matter cannot be left unresolved so easily.
She wanted to report to Dawei and ask for his opinion on how to handle the situation.
……
In the evening.
David returned home from Meihua City.
I was just eating when there was a knock on the door.
When Zhang Guifen opened the door, she saw Qin Hongmei from downstairs.
"Amei, have you eaten? Come and eat with us."
She is Wu Maocai's wife, skilled at socializing with other wives, and gets along very well with many family members of cadres in the community.
She has the best relationship with David's parents.
Qin Hongmei is a good cook, especially skilled at making noodles, and she also has a sweet tongue.
Chen Shouren and Zhang Guifen simply couldn't hold out.
Dawei is busy and often away from home, so the two elderly people treat Qin Hongmei like their own daughter.
Zhang Guifen pulled her into the house: "Come on, let's eat something together."
Qin Hongmei shrank back somewhat embarrassedly: "County Chief Chen..."
"What county magistrate? He's not a real county magistrate." Chen Shouren waved to him: "Come and have some food with us."
After work, he's just an ordinary person, just your younger brother.
Qin Hongmei hurriedly waved her hand: "I, I won't sit, I've already eaten..."
Chen Shouren looked her over: "What's wrong, Hongmei? Is something wrong?"
"Um... I, I need to talk to the county magistrate about something..."
Dawei quickly ate a few bites: "Sister-in-law, please sit in my study for a moment, I'll be right there."
Zhang Guifen stopped eating and pulled Hongmei into Dawei's study: "Hongmei, what's wrong? You don't look well. Did something happen at home?"
Qin Hongmei lowered her head and remained silent.
"Okay, I understand the logic. It seems to be a matter of officialdom. I won't ask. You can talk to Dawei about it later."
"Eh..."
After Zhang Guifen came out, she urged Dawei to eat quickly.
Dawei quickly shoveled the rice into his mouth, finished the rice in his bowl, wiped his mouth, and went to his study.
At first glance, you can tell something's wrong.
I closed the study door, boiled water, and leisurely brewed tea.
"Come on, sister-in-law, have a cup of tea, and tell me slowly..."
Qin Hongmei held the teacup in both hands, and when she called out "Sister-in-law," she poured out all her grievances, tears streaming down her face.
David quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it over; this seemed to be a serious matter.
Even a strong woman like Qin Hongmei is crying like this.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Tell me and see if I can help you."
"Dawei...I...I said I don't want any...Waaah..."
Qin Hongmei burst into tears.
David simply sat there silently, waiting for her to finish crying before speaking.
