Chapter 570: Falling at the Critical Moment
Chapter 570: Falling at the Critical Moment
Chen Shufang's home is close to the back mountain of Niujia Village.
Xinxin Orchard was at the foot of the mountain behind Niujia Village, so Jiang Duoduo and his group arrived at the entrance of Xinxin Orchard not long after walking.
"Wow! Why are there so many people coming to the orchard for a day trip today?"
Chen Shufang was puzzled when she saw the long queue at the ticket booth at the orchard entrance.
She remembered that it was very quiet here just a few days ago. How come the one-day fruit picking tour attracted so many people?
"It's probably because it's the weekend, so both adults and children are free."
"Sister, should we also hurry up and line up? Otherwise, we don't know when it will be our turn to enter the park!"
Chen Shuyue became anxious when she saw so many people queuing up. In her opinion, with a full day ticket costing 98 yuan per person, the earlier one enters the park, the better the deal.
"Come on, how about we two go line up first?"
Chen Shufang pulled Chen Shuyue, and the two of them trotted forward and lined up at the end of the line.
Dongdong, Lele and several other children were already playing around the team, chasing each other and having fun.
"Don't run around, okay?"
Chen Shuyue watched the children running around and worried that they might get hurt somewhere.
Therefore, she carried an eco-friendly bag in her hand and slowly moved forward with the crowd in line, while always keeping an eye on the children playing.
After a while, several more people lined up behind Chen Shuyue.
"Oh my god! Why are there so many people today? Mom, didn't you say that Uncle Shuisheng could give us free tickets? Then why are we still queuing here?"
A teenager of about fifteen or sixteen years old asked while eating an opened bag of spicy strips with a casual bag on his back.
"Shh..."
A thin middle-aged woman standing behind Chen Shuyue immediately turned around and made a gesture to her son to keep quiet.
"Xiao Wen, you can't tell everyone about the free admission. After all, your uncle Shuisheng isn't the owner of the orchard, he's just a manager."
"Even though he has the final say over the entire orchard and the orchard owner rarely comes here once a year, we still have to keep a low profile. It would be bad if this got known to others."
The thin woman pulled her son and whispered in his ear for a long time.
Although they spoke in low voices, Chen Shuyue, who was standing in front of the thin woman, still heard them.
Chen Shuyue looked down upon the orchard managers' generosity towards others.
Your boss pays you to protect his own interests, not to ask you to use his interests to do a favor.
"Mom, Auntie! You guys are all lined up here!"
"Then I'll take the kids to play nearby for a while. Look, there's a big billboard at the entrance with outdoor seating underneath. We'll sit there and wait! Mom, call us when you buy the tickets!"
Jiang Lai Di saw that the line for buying tickets was very long, so she had no interest in standing there waiting.
Besides, you have to queue up and pay for the tickets. There are so many people coming to their house today. How much will it cost if they all buy tickets?
She is not Jiang Duoduo, who has too much money and doesn’t know where to spend it!
"Mom, Auntie, why don't I wait in line? You and Lai Di can just sit on the chairs over there and wait."
Chen Wang followed Jiang Lai Di and came over. When he saw his mother-in-law and aunt queuing there, he asked them to queue up first.
Today, my second brother-in-law is at work, my third brother-in-law has something to do at the factory, and only my aunt and Susu came to my aunt's house. He is the only grown man here, and Chen Wang thinks that he should be the one to do physical work like queuing.
"no……"
When Jiang Lai Di heard this, she immediately winked at Chen Wang and told him to go wherever he wanted.
I thought, is this about queuing? This is about spending money, right?
"Chen Wang, just follow Lai Di and wait over there. Your aunt and I will wait in line for a while, it's okay, just consider it a good workout!"
"Big brother, tell the second, third, fourth, Duoduo, and Susu to go wait by the billboard and keep an eye on the kids!"
Chen Shuyue waved to Chen Wang and Jiang Laidie and told them to go over there.
"Yeah, yeah, you all go wait at the door. It's so crowded and chaotic here, and we're all already in line. Buying a ticket doesn't take much effort!"
Chen Shufang echoed Chen Shuyue's words and told Chen Wang not to be polite!
"Okay! Mom and Aunt are still the best!"
"Chen Wang, why are you standing there? Let's go!"
Jiang Lai Di smiled and waved to her mother and aunt, then angrily pulled Chen Wang aside and said, "Are you stupid? You went to line up and bought tickets for so many people?"
"The second and third children are so smart. They're playing with Tiger Bao over there right now! They didn't rush over to line up to buy tickets. It really shows how generous you are!"
I just want to queue up for my mother-in-law and aunt, am I doing anything wrong?
Chen Wang felt a little depressed after being suddenly scolded by Jiang Lai Di.
"Don't just stand there, the kids are playing over there by the billboard. Go over there and watch them while I call Duoduo and the others!"
Jiang Lai Di handed the bag of snacks to Chen Wang and went to the back to call a few sisters.
Jiang Duoduo was eating cashews as she walked slowly over from behind. She was a little surprised to see a long queue in front of the orchard.
I thought to myself, this Zhang Shuisheng does know some marketing techniques.
"Duoduo, hurry up! Mom and Auntie are already queuing up to buy tickets. You and the second child and the others should come with me and sit over there and wait!"
After being called out by Jiang Lai Di, Jiang Duo Duo finally realized that she was the boss here! Why did her own people have to queue up and buy tickets to enter the orchard?
"Okay, tell my second sister and the others to go first, I'll go find mom and auntie!"
After Jiang Duoduo replied to Jiang Lai Di, she picked up her phone and called Zhang Shuisheng.
After all, the people buying tickets at the door didn't know her, so she had to find Zhang Shuisheng to take everyone into the orchard for free.
Unexpectedly, no one answered the phone after she called for a long time. Zhang Shuisheng failed to deliver at the critical moment!
No one answered the phone, so Jiang Duoduo had to go to the entrance of the orchard to find the orchard worker who was responsible for letting tourists in.
"Hello, is Zhang Shuisheng in the orchard?"
Jiang Duoduo walked through the queue and came forward to ask.
"Who are you? What are you looking for our Director Zhang?"
The worker asked back in a bad tone.
"I have something to ask him. If he's in the orchard, could you please call him for me?"
Jiang Duoduo frowned and complained in her heart, "Are people nowadays always so aggressive in their speech?"
But finding Zhang Shuisheng was the most important thing now, so Jiang Duoduo had no choice but to calmly ask him to help pass on the message.
"No time, no time! Don't you see so many people waiting at the door to enter the orchard? Go call yourself!"
After the worker finished speaking, he put Jiang Duoduo aside and started his own work again.
"I……"
Jiang Duoduo wanted to say, if someone answered his call, would I need to come here to see your face?
Come to think of it, there are indeed a lot of people here, so it's normal that they ignored me because they have something else to do. It's just that the tone of his voice was too harsh, which made people feel uncomfortable.
"Duoduo, why are you standing here?"
Chen Shuyue walked slowly forward in the queue, and suddenly saw Jiang Duoduo talking to the orchard worker.
