To persuade Zou Yuxing, he chose his favorite method, his tone rising and suddenly becoming passionate, "Didn't you just say that everyone needs to drink milk in the morning and has to buy it from you? That's like you've got a lifeline in your grasp. Feiran doesn't invest in you today, he'll probably be begging you later. Just imagine how awesome that would be!"
"Fishing is an experiential activity, and the fish caught can be considered a commodity, but we can't eat fish every day. Even if this project receives investment, it can't be sustained in the long run."
Zou Yuxing looked convinced. "That makes sense. Your flower picking is an experiential activity, and flowers can barely be considered a commodity, but they're not necessities. Haha, Su Shangting, you finally admit it. You're not as good as me."
Su Shangting: But my fists are harder than yours!
He couldn't be bothered to argue with Zou Yuxing, who was so brainless, so he crossed his arms and remained silent.
When Meng Wenzheng saw the two of them, he ran over breathlessly and greeted them warmly, "Have you seen the Monopoly?"
Su Shangting automatically stepped forward to block his view and changed the subject, "What project did you choose?"
Meng Wenzheng's smile was so soft that his voice was barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.
"What? I didn't hear that."
Facing their persistent questioning, Meng Wenzheng awkwardly replied, "Shoveling cow dung."
Zou Yuxing: "..."
Su Shangting: "..."
What kind of project is this?
I doubt anyone would want to pay to experience this kind of activity, and as for cow dung, it can't possibly be considered a commodity!
Their expressions changed, and their gazes towards Meng Wenzheng were filled with pity.
Although it's uncertain who will ultimately emerge victorious, the last place is confirmed.
Chapter 78 A Little Bit of Flirting.
Zou Yuxing asked, quite puzzled, "Why did you choose to shovel cow dung?"
Any normal person with a bit of business sense wouldn't make this choice. Besides, this meadow is so vast that even Su Shangting could find a project like flower picking, so it's impossible for Meng Zizheng not to find something better.
Meng Zizheng blinked, his tone a little embarrassed, "This is what I'm thinking. Yuxing, the project you chose is related to cattle. Cattle can't just bring you profits; someone has to deal with the cow dung. Su Shangting chose to pick flowers, using cow dung as fertilizer so the flowers can bloom more beautifully, and your project can earn more money. Besides, everyone living here should protect the environment; it's what we should do."
Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting's expressions slowly changed, their mouths slightly open. In their eyes, Meng Zizheng seemed to radiate a holy light, requiring them to look up to him.
Zou Yuxing was overcome with emotion, her nose even a little sore. She reached out and put her arm around Meng Zizheng's shoulder, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate, thinking so much about everyone. You're right, since I chose Niu, I have to bear everything for it. Don't worry, even if Feiran doesn't invest in you, I will still help you. I definitely won't let you be last."
Su Shangting, quite arrogant, snorted and said hesitantly, "Although you're too naive, what you said makes sense. I'll pay you regularly; consider it as me getting you to invest."
Meng Zizheng scratched his head, chuckling sheepishly, "I don't need your help. Maybe Feiran will be willing to invest in me."
"..."
This put them in the same position again, making them competitors. Zou Yuxing instantly became fired up, "I'm second only to Brother Gu. If Feiran had to choose between us, she would definitely choose me!"
Why should I choose you?
Choose me!
Who said that?
"I said it!"
The two elementary school kids were arguing, their anger clouding their judgment. Their heads were getting closer and closer until they were almost touching. Just moments ago, they had been very considerate, trying to stop Meng Zizheng from disturbing Wen Feiran and the other girl. But now, they rushed over without a care in the world.
Wen Feiran was just about to share her joy at catching fish when she saw the two of them and waved, "Look, the fish here are so plump! I caught three in just half an hour. Dinner's all set! What kind of food do you like? I'll cook it for you."
Zou Yuxing and Su Shangting didn't answer, but glared at each other. Under Wen Feiran's bewildered gaze, they each took one of his arms and lifted him up.
Su Shangting remembered to greet Gu Suian: "Brother Gu, can we borrow Feiran for a bit?"
Gu Suian smiled and said, "You don't mind if I come along, do you?"
"I don't mind," Zou Yuxing said first. "Competition should be fair and just. Anyway, I'm not afraid to watch. I don't know about that person."
Who is this person?
"I didn't name names, but someone's got a guilty conscience, so whoever speaks first is the one!"
Wen Feiran: "..."You two are arguing, don't drag me into it! I'm innocent!
His lips twitched twice, and he felt a burning sensation on both sides of his cheeks, as if he were constantly in danger of being attacked by the two men's spittle.
He struggled a couple of times, but was still dragged away by the two men. They saw Zou Yuxing's cow first, and Su Shangting, adhering to the principle of "fairness, impartiality, and first come, first served," reluctantly let go of Wen Feiran's hand.
Zou Yuxing tried everything he could to pique Wen Feiran's interest.
"How many people have actually milked a cow by hand? Using 'first-time experience' as a promotional slogan not only provides emotional value but also allows people to take the milk home—a win-win situation, Feiran you think?"
Zou Yuxing rattled off a bunch of things, then turned around and saw Wen Feiran wrapped in a gray blanket, sipping water from a thermos.
Zou Yuxing:!! How could he have overlooked this!
He frantically searched for something to offer Wen Feiran, looking around frantically. In the end, all he could do was hold up a glass of freshly squeezed milk and eagerly offer it to Wen Feiran.
Wen Feiran took a sniff, her eyes lighting up, "It definitely has a stronger milky smell than others."
