The villa entrance connected the crossroads of Shacheng and the city. A sign stood at the entrance, displaying an advertisement photo of a Bougainvillea Sea, visible at first glance to passing vehicles.
With the +3 attribute from entering the area, the promotional photos produced by Qin Ren's studio had an artistic flair and an inexplicable allure.
For the villa's opening, Qin Lin didn't resort to flashy gimmicks, feeling they were unnecessary.
Upon entering the villa, Qin Lin drove his car to the front of the main hall. As it was opening day, Gao Yaoyao and the other staff were busy with preparations.
Master Lin had already changed into his chef's uniform; after all, he was the chef. The maintenance of the bougainvillea had been entrusted to three landscape gardeners.
"Chen Dabe, have people move the items from the car into the hall. I've already written down the prices. Have Gao Yaoyao sell them according to the marked prices," Qin Lin instructed Chen Dabe, who rushed forward to meet him as he got out of the car.
"Yes, boss!" Chen Dabe, the head of security, habitually stepped forward to help as soon as his boss arrived.
After unloading the Okra, strawberries, and Watermelons, Gao Yaoyao arrived with the female servers.
Several shelves had already been set up in the hall. They knew the boss would be bringing items to display and sell to the arriving tourists.
However, when Gao Yaoyao saw the prices, she was stunned. "Boss, did you misprice these? Watermelon is 100 per jin."
The other servers looked equally surprised.
It wasn't just the Watermelon; a small box of strawberries and Okra were marked at 200 and 400 per jin, respectively.
They must have made a mistake, right? How could they be so expensive?
"No mistake, sell them at these prices," Qin Lin explained. Seeing their expressions, he added, "Master Lin, please cut a Watermelon and let everyone have a taste."
Qin Lin's words left everyone in disbelief. Honestly, ordinary people like them had never seen anyone dare to sell Watermelon at such a high price.
Master Lin, upon hearing the instruction, picked up a Watermelon, took it to the kitchen, cut it, brought it out, and distributed pieces to everyone present.
Gao Yaoyao and the other girls picked up their pieces of Watermelon with complex emotions, taking a bite.
After all, this was Watermelon that was going to be sold for 100 per jin. They wondered what it would taste like.
But after one bite, Gao Yaoyao almost bit her tongue off. It was too delicious.
"How can this Watermelon be so delicious?" another server exclaimed.
"Mmm, it's so good. I almost bit my tongue," Gao Yaoyao nodded vigorously.
The attributes of Deliciousness +2, Sweetness +2, Texture +2, and Aftertaste +2 were not to be trifled with.
After tasting the Watermelon, Gao Yaoyao and the others had only one thought: selling this Watermelon for 100 per jin seemed acceptable.
Master Lin, an old man, ate it and, like the girls, couldn't help but praise, "Boss, I've never eaten such delicious Watermelon in my life. This can't be an ordinary Watermelon, can it?"
Qin Lin nodded. "This is a special variety of Watermelon, newly cultivated. It's not available on the market yet; only I have it for sale."
This Quality 2 Watermelon, exclusively from the game's production, had to be a special variety.
Gao Yaoyao ate a slice of Watermelon and thought of something, asking, "Boss, aren't you selling ordinary Watermelon? Although this Watermelon is incredibly delicious and clearly priced, others might not know. If someone encounters a troublemaker, takes a video, and posts it online with a title like 'Sky-High Priced Watermelon,' it could cause some trouble."
Her words did remind Qin Lin.
Indeed, that was the case.
Even if it was clearly priced and the transaction was voluntary, meddlers could always complicate matters.
However, it wasn't a problem. He could use two plots of Level 1 land to grow some Quality 1 Watermelon. Then, with the Quality 1 and Quality 2 Watermelon for comparison, he could also bring in a batch of ordinary Watermelon and set the price for Quality 1 Watermelon at 10 yuan per jin.
He would also bring in some ordinary Okra, priced at 15 yuan per jin for Quality 1 Okra.
After all, it was common sense that different varieties of fruits had different prices. If there was any doubt, he could cut a Watermelon in public for people to taste, and the difference would be apparent. Even troublemakers would be silenced, or they would be making unreasonable demands.
The same applied to strawberries. He would bring in some ordinary strawberries to sell for 25 yuan, Quality 1 from the system for 40 yuan, and Quality 2 for 200 yuan.
With this in mind, Qin Lin dug up the Okra from the two plots of land in his mind and planted Watermelon seeds. He then drove his three-wheeled cargo vehicle back to the county and headed straight to the wholesale market to purchase more Watermelons and strawberries, which he brought back to the villa.
He would handle it this way for now and adjust based on the situation after the opening.
After sorting everything out, he went home, took a shower, and then went to a car rental shop to rent a car. He needed to take his Mom and Zhao Moqing to the villa today, and his electric scooter couldn't fit them all.
He drove the rented car back to his apartment complex. Lin Fen was already waiting, holding Wangcai.
She had even dressed up nicely today, and Wangcai was wearing a pet outfit.
Qin Lin had been busy these past few days, so Lin Fen had been taking Wangcai out for walks and had bought the dog an outfit.
The dog was very smart and knew how to please people, which Lin Fen liked very much.
With the family's debts cleared, she felt much more relaxed. Today was her son's business opening, and she felt nothing but happiness and pride.
"Woof woof!" Wangcai barked happily when it saw Qin Lin arrive. As soon as the car door opened, it jumped in.
After picking up his Mom, Qin Lin headed to Zhao Moqing's residential area.
Zhao Moqing was already waiting outside the complex and walked over as soon as she saw the car stop.
Qin Lin had already told her the license plate number of the rental car.
After getting into the car, she immediately greeted Lin Fen, "Auntie!"
Lin Fen smiled broadly upon seeing Zhao Moqing, looking even happier. She was very satisfied with her son's girlfriend.
Now that the family's debts were cleared, her remaining wish was for her son to quickly marry Zhao Moqing.
"Woof woof!" The dog also greeted them, nudging its head affectionately against Zhao Moqing's face.
"Wangcai." Zhao Moqing reached out and rubbed the dog's head.
The car started and left the county town, heading for Qinglin Villa.
Along the way, Lin Fen didn't think much of it, just looking forward to seeing what kind of villa her son had built.
But as the car drove on, Zhao Moqing's expression gradually became confused.
Because she was familiar with this road, wasn't this the way to Fuhai Villa?
As they got closer, Zhao Moqing became a little anxious: "Qin Lin, you opened your agritainment here? Don't you know there's Fuhai Villa nearby?"
She was genuinely worried. It wasn't easy for her boyfriend to save some money and start a business. Even if she gave him all her savings, opening an agritainment next to Fuhai Villa would be a waste of money.
After all, the new owner of Fuhai Villa had also created such a beautiful sea of flowers.
But when the car stopped in the Qinglin Villa parking lot, Zhao Moqing was stunned.
Qinglin Villa?
How could it be here?
An unbelievable thought surfaced in her mind: Qinglin – Zhao Moqing, Qin Lin?
Was the tycoon who bought Fuhai Villa really Qin Lin?
This thought made Zhao Moqing feel a bit surreal. She knew her husband's family situation.
"Boss!" The security guard at the parking lot respectfully greeted Qin Lin as he got out of the car.
This confirmed Zhao Moqing's guess, and she couldn't help but open her pretty little mouth: "Qin Lin, what's going on?"
After getting out of the car, Lin Fen also looked at the villa before them with joy.
She clearly hadn't expected her son's villa to be so magnificent, far exceeding her imagination.
Hearing Zhao Moqing's question, she helped her son explain: "Moqing, Xiao Lin was lucky. He caught a wild ornamental fish and sold it for over 600,000 yuan. Then he did some wholesale business for a while, and used the money he earned to open this villa."
Zhao Moqing frowned, because it didn't add up. She knew that the auction for the villa alone cost 1.2 million yuan, and creating the sea of flowers would definitely cost more.
However, seeing Lin Fen's happy expression, she didn't voice her doubts, so as not to worry the elder.
"Auntie, let's go in and take a look!" Zhao Moqing took Lin Fen's arm and walked towards the villa.
Lin Fen also happily linked arms with Zhao Moqing.
The two women were as close as mother and daughter, and Qin Lin suddenly seemed like an outsider.
A moment later, the two were attracted by the vibrant bougainvillea sea not far away.
"Are those bougainvilleas? So many planted?" Lin Fen exclaimed in surprise.
Zhao Moqing also looked at the sea of flowers with a strange expression.
She and her sister-in-law had been attracted by this sea of flowers when they saw the promotional video.
At that time, her sister-in-law had jokingly said if Qinglin Villa was opened by Qin Lin, it would be named after the two of them.
Her sister-in-law definitely wouldn't believe it would come true, and would probably be shocked to death.
Then, Zhao Moqing remembered something. She recalled that in the hotel room back then, she had casually mentioned that if Fuhai Villa had a bougainvillea sea, it would definitely be popular.
Who knew Qin Lin would remember and actually create a bougainvillea sea.
This made her turn to look at Qin Lin, her eyes sparkling, as if conveying her deep emotion.
Qin Lin noticed Zhao Moqing's gaze. Her sparkling eyes were very charming. He considered eating some Quality 2 Okra tonight and booking a room at the hotel in advance.
The villa's opening should be celebrated in a special way.
