Novel Full Chapter 225 - First Order
Chapter 225: First Order
Translator: Lonelytree
The three customers left with a full load! Perhaps they felt too shy from eating too much, so they all brought back several catties of strawberries. The strawberries cost 45 RMB per catty, but they thought it was worth it!
They all decided to bring their families over tomorrow.
Of course, they were hoping for the free benefits. Strawberries were too expensive. They had to take advantage of the free offer when it was still available.
…
Early the next morning, Zeng Yaozu’s phone rang.
Zeng Yaozu was drowsy. Last night, he finished a very long order. He had just fallen asleep not long ago.
He wanted to sleep longer, but he knew Xiao Lingyu was sending the stock to the express delivery company soon. He had been busy dealing with the sample orders for the past two days.
When he heard the phone notification, Zeng Yaozu grabbed his phone to take a look.
“Group leader, I just received the strawberries! They are as you said! They are so so delicious. I have eaten all the strawberries in the world, but I have never tasted anything as delicious as the strawberries you sent me!”
It was only early in the morning, and many people were still sleeping.
However, the situation was lively in the Berry Lover Group. It was as if these people didn’t sleep.

“Hey, are you sure you’re not working with the Group Leader? How can you have tasted all the strawberries in the world? That is just too much of an exaggeration!”
“That’s right. Do you think we’re children who can be fooled? One has to be very rich to have tried every strawberry variety in the world. How rich can you be? The Group Leader himself came from a small county. You two must be working together to lie to us.”
As soon as he said this, someone immediately retorted. “You poor loser. Don’t think everyone is as poor as you!”
“Exactly, do you really think we can’t afford strawberries? All of us in this group can afford strawberries whenever we want… Except you, loser!” This was a direct mockery.
In a dark room, an unkempt, bespectacled man kept typing beside the computer. “Hmph, who’s a poor loser? Let me tell you. I’ve eaten a lot of strawberries. Who cares about the free strawberry?”
“In that case, tell me, what’s the difference between Feng Xiang, Hongyan, Nv Feng, Gui Nu? What are the famous strawberries plantations in Country R, L, and M? What are their varieties? And what are the differences?” This poster really understood his strawberries.
Sun Jun was furious when he was cornered. He replied, “Why should I answer you? Who are you? You’re just a poor loser! Each and every one of you pretends to be rich, but in reality, each and every one of you is so poor that you can’t even afford instant noodles.”
The group exploded.
“Fuck, who is this person? Why is he so arrogant?”
“You’re the real loser here! You can’t even answer any of the simple questions above! This proves that you don’t even like strawberries. Then, why are you in this group?” Someone pointed out sharply.
“Group leader, kick this person out of the group. He is just a troublemaker!”
“Exactly, kick him out!”
Everyone in the group had the same opinion. Zeng Yaozu immediately woke up when he saw this message. He thought about it and decided to kick out the group member with the online name, Saint Love.
It was obvious that this member had a character issue. If he was allowed to stay, it would only lead to more conflicts.
Saint Love, who had been kicked out of the group, was almost driven mad with anger.
He tried to rejoin the group a few times but was always rejected.
Sun Jun cursed loudly, “You bunch of bastards, Just wait and see. One day, I will become the richest person in the world and eat all the strawberries. Then, I will locate every single one of you and have you kneel before me!”
If someone were beside him, they would burst out laughing. Such a person without character and ambition would never amount to anything!
“Great job for kicking that person out. Finally, some peace and quiet. He kept trying to create drama. What’s his problem?”
“Exactly! I am furious. He’s so annoying!”
“Group Leader, who is that guy? Is he really a berry lover? He sounds more like a hater!”
“We mustn’t let him back into the group!”
Zeng Yaozu replied, “Of course, I won’t let him come back. When he joined, he said he liked strawberries a lot.”
“It’s good that we’re not letting him back in!” Someone added, “Yesterday night, he was already cursing the Team Leader. Our team leader is too good-tempered to deal with him. But it only made him worse!”
“Speaking of, are the free strawberries really that delicious?”
“Yes!” A member called Strawberry Eater said, “I’m not lying. The strawberries sent by the group leader are really too delicious. I was so touched that tears flowed down my face.”
After saying that, she also sent two photos. One was the strawberries in a box. The other was the strawberry entering her mouth. The comment was, I can’t resist the temptation!
“No way. This strawberry looks so green and unripe. Is it really delicious?”
“That’s right. It looks so sour to me!”
“I heard of people eating green apples and cucumbers, but this is the first time I’ve seen someone eating green strawberries.”
“The strawberries aren’t fully unripe. The tips are already red.”
“We all know that a strawberry has to be fully red to achieve the height of its sweetness and fragrance.”
“So, Strawberry Eater, are you in cahoots with the Group Leader?”
Strawberry Eater was furious. “If you don’t believe me, then forget it. Anyway, I’ve tried the strawberries, and they are truly delicious.” Then she asked, “Group leader, I want to buy the strawberries. How do you sell them?”
The first order came.
Zeng Yaozu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately cheered up and said, “Because this is the first order. The boss gave us a special discount. They are 50 percent off, 60 RMB per catty.”
“60 RMB per catty, and that is after 50 percent discount? Group leader, are you crazy? How can you even ask for that price?”
Someone in the group started to mock.
“That’s right. Even Dongdan’s first batch of strawberries only sells for 100 to 200 RMB per catty. What kind of strawberries are yours that you sell them so expensively?”
“You better go rob the bank!”
Strawberry Eater said, “In my opinion, the strawberries are cheap for 60, no, 120 RMB!
“I don’t know if anyone else has received the free strawberries like me. If you have, you’ll know the strawberries are really worth it. Group Leader, I’m going to need 5 catties, no wait, 10 catties!”
She wanted to give some for her grandparents to try! Strawberry Eater ordered 10 catties at one go! That was 600 RMB! That was not a small amount.
“@Strawberry Eater, are you sure you’re not hired by the group leader? This is too suspicious!”
“This feels like a self-directed movie to me.”
“This is not the way to waste money. You spent 600 RMB just like that!”
“I’m also suspecting that Strawberry Eater is actually the Group Leader’s alt.”
Strawberry Eater was indignant. She typed furiously beside the computer and said sharply, “Hmph. My family is rich. I don’t know the Group Leader. I don’t need him to hire me. I have the money. I am very poor because I have nothing but money left!”
Her tone was full of pride.
Then she added, “Group Leader, I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to buy 100 catties of strawberries.”
“100 catties?”
The group exploded again.
“Damn, this is crazy. My monthly salary is only 2000 RMB. 100 catties is triple my monthly salary!”
“Sponsor us @Strawberry Eater!”
“+1”
“+2”
Strawberry Eater said proudly, “No sponsor. Because you people doubted me earlier!”
Then, someone sent a picture of a hammer.
Strawberry Eater typed, “Anyway, back to business. I really think that the strawberries sent by the group leader are really delicious. That’s why I want to buy so many at once. I’m sure the 100 catties disappear instantly.”

“Damn, this makes me furious for some reason.”
“Me too.”
Strawberry Eater added, “I saw many people gave their address to the Group Leader last night. I reckon you’ll get your free sample soon.
“Once you’ve tasted the strawberries, you’ll understand that I’m not exaggerating at all. I have to order these strawberries first because I’m afraid they’ll run out.
“@Group Leader, I notice that the box has a unique logo. It says Taoyuan Village.”
Zeng Yaozu answered. “Yes. The strawberries came from Taoyuan Village.”
“Where is that? I haven’t heard of it before.”
The group chat began to bustle with discussion again.
“I’ve never heard of it either. Taoyuan Village, it sounds like a remote village.”
“I’ve only heard of Dongdan Strawberries, Nanxiang Strawberries, An Lin Strawberries, but never Taoyuan Village Strawberries.”
“I’ve never heard of them either.”
“But the question is, are the strawberries grown there that delicious? Is the Group Leader lying to us?”
“Do you think the Group Leader needs to lie? The free samples are coming. You’ll know the truth soon enough. Just wait for that faceslap!”
“I can’t wait! We’ll see who is going to be faceslapped!”
“I want to see what kind of strawberry can be produced at Taoyuan Village!”
Zeng Yaozu said lightly, “I hope everyone can leave a review after they receive the sample.” He was very confident in the strawberries. The members could taste and find out the truth themselves.
Strawberry Eater didn’t argue with the rest. She DMed Zeng Yaozu and ordered 100 catties of strawberries. Then, she gave the account number and paid half of the deposit in advance. She would pay the rest when the stock arrived.
Strawberry Eater lived at City Z, so she received her sample earlier.
He hurriedly sent the order to Xiao Lingyu.
He asked Xiao Lingyu to ship the 100 catties of strawberries along with the free strawberries and send them out.
…
In a magnificent villa at City Z, Yan Ruyu slept until noon. She didn’t eat breakfast and had lunch.
Mrs. Yan saw her daughter and frowned, “What time did you sleep last night? Did you spend the night playing computer games again? Don’t you know that is not for your health?”
Yan Ruyu stretched her body and twisted her neck. Hearing her mother’s nagging, she said discontentedly, “Mom, I can’t sleep at night, so I was only finding something to do.” She was still suffering from jet lag.
Mrs. Yan was silent for a moment and then said, “I think it’s because you sleep too much in the day. That’s why you can’t sleep at night. You should try to learn to settle down and help your father.”
Yan Ruyu asked, “Mom, what problem would Dad have?”
Mrs. Yan sighed and said, “Sigh, the supermarket’s business has been sliding!”
“What?” Yan Ruyu was surprised.
