Chapter 116: The big inspection

"Brother, you're only telling me this because you trust me, so I definitely can't let you down. One box is enough, I don't smoke much, so you can keep the rest.'

This is what Lao Zhao gave him, and that's what he deserves.

When someone gives you something, it shows that they don't consider you an outsider. If you really take it, it would be meaningless.

Compared to the cigarettes, Gu Chen values the friendship.

Lao Hu looked at Gu Chen and felt that there was nothing wrong with this friend.

He is generous, humble, and straightforward.

Most importantly, this kid Gu Chen is still smart.

Just now, when he was talking to Lao Zhao about the wolfberries, he stood next to him and listened clearly.

Lao Hu knows exactly what kind of person Lao Zhao is. He is a fox!

A typical old fox!

He can make anyone feel guilty, and that's not something just anyone can do.

Gu Chen is a talented guy.

He's definitely got a bright future ahead of him!

Sometimes making friends is just a matter of a split second.

If you get along and share the same outlook on life,

it's easy to become friends.

It's a kind of trust that comes from the heart for no particular reason.

Lao Hu gave Gu Chen a meaningful look.

'That won't do. How about this: you need a car, don't you? I'll be outside in a minute, so you can just take it with you.'

Gu Chen didn't refuse, 'Thank you, Brother Hu.'

After all, he was going to pick up goods, so it would be convenient to drive Hu's car.

The two got out of the car when it pulled up in front of Hu's shop. Hu handed Gu Chen the keys and casually gave him some instructions.

'There's enough fuel in the car for a day's driving. If you want to refuel tomorrow, there's a gas station behind the building materials store.'

Gu Chen took the car keys and said, 'Don't worry, Hu Ge.'

After that, Gu Chen got into the car, put it in gear and drove towards an abandoned factory not far ahead.

This factory used to make bricks, but it gradually went out of business.

It also closed down.

Now it is completely unused, and there is basically no one around.

When he arrived, Gu Chen got out of the car and went directly into the space, where he took out sacks of the packaged wolfberries.

He counted them again and again, and there were 23 sacks.

He loaded the wolfberries into the car, but then felt that there was still something else he needed to do.

After all, he didn't know the exact weight of the goods.

He had planned to find a place to weigh them, but then thought, Lao Zhao must have a scale.

And since it was an old shop, it was unlikely that they would tamper with the weight.

Since he didn't have a place to weigh things right now, it would be better to go to Lao Zhao's.

Thinking this, he got back in the car and started the van.

However, Gu Chen didn't go to Lao Zhao's first, but instead turned around and headed towards the hospital.

After all, if he went now, he might arrive in ten minutes.

It was too fast, and with Lao Zhao's suspicious nature, he would be even more suspicious of where his garden was.

Gu Chen went to the hospital to ask about the physical examination.

He didn't know what tests to expect or what to watch out for.

He remembered that some tests seemed to require an empty stomach.

Some tests even prohibited drinking water.

In short, he had to find out for himself and try to bring Ji Pianran to the city for the examination tomorrow!

This matter was like a heart disease for Gu Chen.

The more tests he did, the more at ease he felt!

It had been more than an hour since he left the hospital, and it would soon be midnight.

Seeing that it was almost time, Gu Chen drove towards the boss's shop.

Ten minutes later, Gu Chen arrived.

Lao Zhao was sitting in the shop having tea when he saw Gu Chen pull up in the van.

He quickly put down his teacup and walked out.

As soon as Gu Chen got out of the car, he heard Lao Zhao's enthusiastic voice, 'Wow, that was pretty fast.'

Gu Chen opened the back door, 'There are 23 bags in total.'

Lao Zhao glanced towards the warehouse, where several workers were now carrying boxes.

He waved at the workers, 'Come, unload the goods!'

At his shout, the workers hurriedly stopped what they were doing and walked towards the van.

This was work arranged by the boss.

No one dared to be negligent.

As soon as one got into the car, the other two stood by the door waiting to receive the sacks.

The three of them worked quickly and efficiently, unloading all the wolfberries from the van in no time at all.

'Boss, let's do the big inspection,'

As a general rule, anyone selling goods in the store for the first time basically has to undergo a big inspection.

The so-called big inspection means emptying all the wolfberries out.

Then they are packaged in their own boxes.

This is done to prevent some people from passing off inferior goods as superior, or mixing good and bad together.

There are many such people.

If you don't check like this, you won't be able to tell. If you do a random check, you'll only be able to tell 5% of the time.

But if you do a thorough check, you'll be 100% sure.

Lao Zhao nodded, 'Well, let's start the inspection.'

Seeing the boss nod, the men immediately pulled over the spare empty boxes next to them.

Then they cut open the nylon bags and, with a single lift, emptied all the wolfberries inside.

They repeated this over twenty times.

They finally managed to open all the boxes of wolfberries.

Lao Zhao looked at the boxes of wolfberries and a flash of excitement and surprise crossed his eyes.

These are some good ones.

Gu Chen really didn't lie to me.

Every one of these 20-odd boxes is exactly the same, each one plump and dark red.

And each one is big and looks crystal clear.

Under the sun, they shine with an attractive light.

They're really beautiful!

'Brother, your wolfberries are really great! I've never seen wolfberries of this quality in so many years!'

Lao Zhao really couldn't hold back and kept praising them.

When Gu Chen first came, he felt in his heart that these wolfberries were particularly good.

But he held back from saying anything good.

He was afraid that if he said it, Gu Chen would raise the price.

Everyone has their own little tricks when it comes to doing business.

But now it's different. The price has already been set, it's a done deal.

Now I've got such a good thing in my hands.

He's really excited.

Gu Chen smiles.

'Brother, as I said, the wolfberries in my family's shop are really high-quality. Not only do they look good, but their medicinal effects are definitely much stronger than ordinary wolfberries.'

Lao Zhao nodded in agreement, his joy clearly written on his face.

'You've worked hard, my friend. Let's go in and have a cup of tea.'

He made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and followed him through the door.

The first floor was a warehouse, with large cardboard boxes neatly stacked up against the wall. They should all be filled with various types of wolfberries.

The two men walked to the end of the room and went up the stairs to the second floor.

On the second floor was an office. Lao Zhao first brewed Gu Chen a cup of fine tea, and then took out the contract he had just written and handed it to Gu Chen.

'Brother, take a look. As we discussed this morning, let's sign the contract now, shall we?'

Gu Chen blinked, 'The money for the wolfberries this time...'

He didn't even know how many catties of wolfberries he had, so he could only estimate roughly that he would have at least more than 10,000 yuan in income.

But he had no idea how much it was exactly.

Lao Zhao smiled modestly, and his expression and tone of voice changed. 'Don't worry, you will get everything you are owed!'

As soon as the scales are ready, he will give Gu Chen whatever the weight is!
