Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 683 - Chapter 683 Master Qians Plan 1

Chapter 683: Master Qian’s Plan 1 Chapter 683: Master Qian’s Plan 1 This August, everything at Song Tan’s house was on track, with life passing by not too fast and not too slow, but the factory on the mountain was rapidly taking shape.

The excavator operator brother returned to his mountain digging work, and every night he would hold his phone, video-chatting with Tian Tian, who had also just counted her day’s earnings. Each had their own sweetness.

But joy and sorrow do not communicate from one person to another.

For example, Teacher Xin Jun, who could have been a rich second generation but insisted on standing on his own two feet.

When he stepped off the taxi pulling his suitcase, his whole being exuded a weathered air. He looked haggard, exhausted, and as if he had sprouted hope amidst despair… so much so that Wu Lan hardly dared to respond to him at first sight.

“Xin Jun,” she exclaimed,

“how have you lost so much weight?”

Indeed, he had been a clean and neat scholar-like figure, which Wu Lan really liked! How had he become so dark and thin in just a month, seemingly aged more than five years?

Hearing this, Xin Jun almost burst into tears.

What kind of days had he, a rich second-generation, been spending at home?

Morning for restocking, noon for errands, afternoon for tidying and counting, and repeating it all in the evening…

His parents had become absentee owners, but he almost didn’t make it at home. Especially since the more than 600 packs of pickled tea eggs and the subsequent pre-ordered cooling tea packs he also sent back led to the already popular family-run farm restaurant becoming even busier with guests like clouds.

Who would have thought, in this remote suburban area, that there would be customers willing to wait for a table just for lunch!

Xin Jun protested more than once,

“Mom, we really can’t hire that many people so fast, so let’s just set a limit on how many tables we serve each day! Once we’ve made the money, if our health is destroyed, it’s not worth it.”

Moreover, they already had several million yuan in savings, which was neither a lot nor a little, but back in their hometown, it was enough for a comfortable life– why go to these lengths?!

Upon hearing this, Xin Jun’s mom glanced at him,

“What do you know? I just love doing business!”

Indeed, without a fierce passion, how could she have managed such a large place by herself and persisted until now?

But it was all so exhausting…

Xin Jun, a hale and hearty man, would stick to his bed each night in exhaustion. It was truly unbearable!

Xin Jun’s mom, however, advised patiently,

“I know you’re tired, after all, you’ve been sorting out all of this year’s accounts… But think about it, you don’t come back often, and now that it’s summer vacation, you should help your mom, isn’t that right?”

“With you here, mom’s much more relaxed, and I don’t have to scrutinize the accounts so closely– we can wait until winter break for you to come back and organize them together.”

Xin Jun: …Better to just die.

Catching the tail end of August, he used the excuse that school was preparing for the next semester’s courses and that he, as an intern teacher, had to make a good impression…

He packed his bags without delay and headed over!

Before getting on the bus, his mom felt a bit of regret,

“It’s my fault too, I shouldn’t have been so insistent on having this iron rice bowl, teaching is also quite thankless– how about this, you try it out a bit longer, and if it doesn’t work out, come back and we’ll run the restaurant together? Business isn’t that bad either, right?”

“No, no,” Xin Jun immediately said, he truly loved the profession of teaching, and he was determined to stick with it!

Even if one day Qiaoqiao no longer needed tutoring, he was sure he could find a way to change roles!

There he was, dragging his suitcase into the yard, not even caring if the newcomers recognized him or not, he just sat down on a chair and couldn’t get up for a long while.

Instead, it was Wang Xiaoshun who came out holding a basin of vegetables, saw a stranger, and wondered, “Who is this…?”

Next to him, Tai Xiaodong explained, “That should be Qiaoqiao’s former tutor. I heard they gave him a month off in July, I’m seeing him for the first time too.”

Hiss!

Wang Xiaoshun was greatly surprised–what seemed to be a shabby mountain village turned out to serve such delicious food.

A seemingly ordinary farmhouse was actually willing to hire a one-on-one tutor for their son!

Indeed, his master’s decision to take him out to gain exposure was justified; he realized his own experience was rather limited.

But speaking of which, lately his master had been whispering with Teacher Song, keeping things from him… What were they talking about?

Could it be that they felt he lacked talent and was not competitive enough?

That shouldn’t be the case!

His many years of foundation were obviously far superior to Qiaoqiao’s.

However, on second thought, since Qiaoqiao was so cute, could it be that the masters thought he was overshadowing him too much? Should he be more casual when chopping vegetables at night?

Inside Wang Xiaoshun’s head, it was as messy as a ball of yarn.

Yet in reality, Seventh Uncle and Teacher Qian were not discussing anything of the sort!

There, Teacher Qian was still egging him on:

“Old Song, have you thought through our previous discussion about that matter?”

“Talk to Song Tan, just provide the vegetables exclusively for our Changleju, he won’t be at a loss! The price will definitely be high!”

“I can guarantee it! If he agrees to supply exclusively, let alone name your price–it’s just a mention away. What are your hesitations? If you don’t say it, I will!”

Seventh Uncle wasn’t reluctant, but the problem was–

“It’s too much trouble; it also needs to be sorted out. Tantan probably thinks it’s too much hassle, and locally, it’s not like they can’t sell it.”

Teacher Qian was frustrated as if he were dealing with an unyielding iron: “But isn’t she planning to grow vegetables on the mountain next year too?”

“Yes, but the quantity won’t be large.”

Seventh Uncle knew Song Tan’s plan. A variety of vegetables would be planted in small quantities, primarily for home consumption, with the surplus being sold.

“…Delivering to your Changleju, do you know it crosses two provinces? It’s unnecessary.”

“How can you say it’s unnecessary!”

Teacher Qian, as if struggling with an unyielding iron, said: “Look at those who import ingredients, they even have to fly them into the country, why don’t you say anything about that?! Besides, I’m doing all this for whom?”

He was huffing with irritation: “I’ve managed to keep Changleju running all these years! Sure, having those vegetables would be great. Without them, I wouldn’t be this anxious.”

“But have you thought about who we’re competing against? Your ungrateful disciple!”

“Tell me. Old Song, tell me!”

“You fed him, taught him your trade secrets, I can’t believe you’re not harboring some grudge!”

Not to mention Old Song, Qian Tianfu himself couldn’t swallow this indignation!

Back when they took apprentices, they followed the old traditions, and the child, having knelt down, was truly taught as one’s own son. Old Song was not one of those heartless masters who only made people work without pay…

But what did they get in return?

The more Teacher Qian thought about this, the more forcefully he persuaded:

“That big boss over there is rich and willing to invest; a few in real estate have pushed up their business, there’s the eco-vegetable gardens, the health food restaurants… The overwhelming promotions online, the glowing reviews on the rating websites, and the handfuls of red envelopes thrown out… Can the business handed down in Changleju family keep up with all that?”

Even if willing, there’s no money!

“We can only rely on real skills! But I won’t hide the truth, indeed we are struggling to cope. If it weren’t so, this year the young boss wouldn’t have burned his boats–You don’t know, that bastard from the competition, whenever we meet, his chin is almost lifted to the sky–”

“After how he treated you back in the year, with such an excellent opportunity, aren’t you going to slap him in the face?”
