Chapter 249: Chapter 147: An Unexpected Encounter with He Jing and Long-Buried Yearnings!

Beep beep beep—

Jiang Tao dialed the number displayed on the information panel, and it was quickly connected.

"Hello, who is this?"

A man’s voice came from the other end of the line.

Jiang Tao didn’t waste words with Xu Xinglei and directly said:

"Is this Boss Xu? I heard from a friend that you have quite a few potted blueberry plants for sale, and I’d like to buy a batch."

"Yes, that’s me. Yes, our company currently has a batch of potted blueberries for sale."

"When would you be available to come over and have a look? We can discuss it in detail when we meet."

Upon hearing that Jiang Tao was interested in buying blueberry plants in bulk, Xu Xinglei’s attitude immediately warmed up a lot.

Jiang Tao laughed, "I’m already at the entrance of Cui Village."

"You’re already at the village entrance? Please wait a moment, I will immediately send someone to pick you up."

"I’m handling some matters in the park right now, so it’ll be a while before I can return."

"You can first go see the plants in our company’s greenhouse."

"Alright."

They chatted casually for a few more lines on the phone.

After hanging up, Jiang Tao sent a picture of his car and its license plate to Xu Xinglei.

To make it convenient to drive in Beijing, Jiang Tao was using the same Beijing license plates from Du Enan’s company on his Mercedes GLS.

Less than five minutes after hanging up with Xu Xinglei.

A tall girl with a pure look, dressed in a long white down coat, stopped in front of Jiang Tao’s car.

The girl was wearing a pair of light gray shark pants, striped slouch socks on her feet, and flat black leather shoes.

The whole outfit looked fashionable and made her appear tall and slim.

"Jiang... Brother Jiang?"

Seeing Jiang Tao inside the car browsing through his phone, through the windshield, He Jing looked surprised.

Hearing someone talking outside, Jiang Tao raised his eyes to look out of the window and was equally surprised to see the neatly standing He Jing.

"He Jing? What brings you here? Are you here with classmates for picking?"

Jiang Tao opened the door and got out, greeting He Jing with a smile.

He Jing chuckled and explained, "No, Brother Jiang, I’m here to pick someone up."

"Pick someone up?" Jiang Tao was puzzled.

He Jing laughed, "Brother Jiang, could it be you are the Mr. Jiang my brother-in-law mentioned?"

"Your brother-in-law is Xu Xinglei?"

Jiang Tao laughed as well.

With He Jing having said so much, it would be a bit foolish if he couldn’t guess the situation.

"Yes, yes! Then there is no mistake! What a coincidence, Brother Jiang! I never expected to meet again under such circumstances."

He Jing was genuinely lively and loved to laugh, and with just a few words with her, Jiang Tao’s mood brightened considerably.

Jiang Tao also laughed, "It is quite a coincidence. You have a lot of relatives in Beijing."

"Yes, besides my aunt, there’s my little aunt, a cousin, and a cousin brother."

Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, He Jing really counted the number of relatives she has in Beijing, quite earnestly.

Jiang Tao laughed, "Your family could fill a whole car when you go home for the New Year."

"Yes! Every time we go home for the New Year, it’s with everyone together. By the way, Brother Jiang, what brings you to look for my brother-in-law?"

After casually chatting for a few lines, He Jing curiously asked.

Jiang Tao said with a smile, "Yes, I’m here to buy some potted blueberries from your brother-in-law."

"Oh! Then, Brother Jiang, let me take you to the office first. My brother-in-law might take a while to come back, but my sister is at the office."

As He Jing spoke, she turned and made a gesture for Jiang Tao to follow, "Brother Jiang, this way please."

"Haha, being formal with me now, are we?"

Jiang Tao laughed, jokingly, and followed He Jing towards her cousin’s office.

"Are you helping out at your cousin’s place?"

"No, since it’s the weekend, I just came to play and take some material for content."

"Even though I’m just a small creator on Quick Tok with only over 70,000 followers, a bit more promotion wouldn’t hurt, right?"

"No way, you only have just over 70,000 followers? I thought for sure you were at least a big influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers."

Jiang Tao was genuinely surprised to hear that He Jing only had just over 70,000 followers.

With He Jing’s pure and beautiful appearance, coupled with her tall and slim figure of nearly 1.7 meters.

She could easily score an 8 out of 10.

"Brother Jiang, are you complimenting me or teasing me? I can’t quite tell for a moment."

"Of course, I’m complimenting you."

"Is this how you compliment someone?"

"Haha, seriously though, He Jing, with your credentials, you’re bound to reach the scale of seven or eight hundred thousand followers, or even a million is possible."

"The so-called big influencers with millions of followers on Quick Tok are far behind you."

"Haha, Brother Jiang, I love hearing you say that. Say it more in the future! May your words be prophetic!"

As they walked and talked, the conversation quickly shifted from Quick Tok to Xu Xinglei’s agricultural company.

Xu Xinglei, who’s also He Jing’s brother-in-law, leased 26 greenhouse barns in Cui Village.

Among the many planters, the scale is only considered moderate.

Six of these greenhouses are for cultivating potted blueberries, but in recent years, the results have been average.

They were not as profitable as planting strawberries following the trend.

That’s why Xu Xinglei plans to sell off all the blueberry plants in the six greenhouses at a low price and switch to planting strawberries.

In Cui Village, growing strawberries has already formed a cluster effect. On weekends, tourists frequently visit for picking.

Apart from tourists picking, supplies are sent to supermarkets, with the rest sold to fruit vendors.

The strawberries produced in Cui Village’s greenhouses are popular throughout half of Beijing and effortless to sell.

Compared to the popular strawberries, blueberries seem much more niche.
