Chapter 87 Han Mengfei Still Refuses to Give Up

"Well, then, Xiaohan, what should we do now?"

My second sister-in-law came over.

Although she is already in her forties and has seen a lot of ups and downs, she still looks a little nervous when she sees such a scene.

“Second sister-in-law, you just stay here and watch over the sentry box. If anyone comes over to buy some small items, or pick fruits to exchange, you can also keep an eye on it.

As for my second uncle, I can walk around the orchard with them, teach them how to pick the fruit, and talk about things in our orchard. That’s all fine.”

Lin Han smiled and said:

“In fact, I didn’t expect that today’s wave of customers would bring nearly 60 guests. With only the two of you here to help, we are still a little short of manpower.

After all, if they want to pick fruits and exchange them for oranges, someone has to count them and sort them into large and small fruits, which all requires manpower.

I'll leave it like this for now. If I find I'm too busy, I'll ask my aunt to come over and help. That shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes, I have talked to your aunt about this before, and she said that if she is too busy, I can call her."

The second sister-in-law nodded hurriedly.

"That's fine, Uncle, you go hang out with them, and I'll go take a look at my classmates too."

Lin Han greeted him and walked towards his junior fellow student Jing Chu, the head of the News Department, who was greeting him excitedly not far away.

"Brother Lin, your uncle's orchard is amazing, isn't it? Such a large scale?"

He held a big, round, yellow orange that had just been picked from the tree. He cut it in half, handed it to Lin Han, and asked while he ate it.

“My second uncle’s orchard is large. Although it is not the largest orchard in the vicinity of Donghai City, it is indeed the largest in terms of the cultivation of the original Ehime orange.

After all, the price of the original Ehime orange has dropped significantly in recent years, and other orchards have switched to planting other improved varieties for economic efficiency considerations. "

"Fruit prices are falling?? Brother Lin, don't bluff me. I just searched on the food delivery app, and this kind of orange costs ten yuan per pound. How could it be possible that the price has dropped so much?"

Jing Chu looked unconvinced.

"Yes, they seem to be talking about this over there. You can go over and listen and you will know."

Lin Han raised his chin towards his second uncle who was surrounded by other students from the News Department and was talking about something not far away, and motioned Jing Chu to go over and listen.

After listening to the second uncle's explanation of the whole story, Lin Han's junior students who were standing by were almost all a little angry:

"Fuck, what kind of world is this? Good things can't be sold and have to rot in the fields, and the junk we buy in the market is so expensive??"

"This is a classic case of bad money driving out good money. Uncle Lin, this is too tragic."

"To prevent these delicious oranges from rotting in the fields, I'm going to eat ten kilograms today!"

"Speaking of which, Minister, I think this matter can be written into a press release and posted on the school's official account. Isn't that what our news department does?"

One of the schoolgirls blinked and looked at Jing Chu beside her:

"Although I don't know how many people I can get, if one more person comes, I can save some of these good oranges from rotting in the fields. I think it's still meaningful."

"Do I need you to remind me? I was just thinking about this."

Jing Chu smiled and said:

“In addition to the press release, you can also send out a registration form, and in the background you can count the number of people who want to make an appointment to pick oranges.

I see only Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin are busy here. If there are too many people, they may not be able to handle it. "

"How could so many people be willing to come? We are so far away, it takes more than an hour to get there by car."

Listening to Jing Chu and the others' discussion, the second uncle at the side couldn't help but interrupt and ask.

"Uncle Lin, don't underestimate the appeal of your own orchard."

A short-haired junior student standing nearby smiled and said, "Senior Lin Han brought us here this time. Many of our friends wanted to come along, but because the two buses couldn't accommodate us, Senior Lin Han was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accommodate us, so he only brought two buses of people."

"Yes, yes, I just checked, there is no self-service fruit picking project around Donghai City, and the nearest one is hundreds of kilometers away.

If this project of yours really comes to fruition, it will be considered the only one of its kind in the East China Sea.

Besides, the quality of your oranges is good, are you worried that no one will come?"

Another school girl also added with a smile.

"That's settled then. I'll write a draft in a bit and the tweet will be posted tonight."

As the minister, Jing Chu made the final decision and looked at the girl next to him:
"Qingqing, does your photography team have any photography equipment with them today?"

"The camera is life, so of course I have to carry it with me."

The girl who was called shook the camera in her hand.

"Then let our new media operations team do the appointment survey and push the traffic."

“We in the post-production and review team don’t have much to do right now, so we can help pick oranges first. Of course, we have to bring more of these delicious oranges back home.

Uncle Lin, please teach us how to pick sweeter oranges."

Looking at the enthusiastic young college students surrounding him, the second uncle nodded vigorously with excitement:

“Thank you, thank you young people.”

Seeing this scene, Lin Han also smiled and joined the team picking oranges with them.

In the orange grove in the distance, Han Mengfei almost crushed the paintbrush in her hand as she watched Lin Han busy and chatting animatedly with a group of schoolmates.

Last time, Jiang Mengyan gave her a rude warning, which really embarrassed her for a while.

But it also made her realize that this obvious method would not work.

In that case, she tried another approach.

Last time, she deliberately put on makeup that made herself look haggard and asked Jiang Mengyan for leave.

Although Lin Han didn't look at Jiang Mengyan much because she was beside him, she was sure that he knew about her injury.

Men will subconsciously protect weak girls, especially beautiful ones.

Han Mengfei's appearance was not bad. On the contrary, she was very popular in her sophomore year. Some people even listed her and Liu Xiaoxiao as the two most beautiful girls in the Department of Literature.

With such a beauty, she didn't believe that Lin Han would not be moved.

Han Mengfei had been advised not to come to today's team-building event by her best friend who was also in the news department.

After all, her leg had not yet fully recovered and the plaster had not been removed, so how could she have fun in a self-service fruit-picking activity that required constant walking?

But how could Han Mengfei really not come?

During the meeting in the News Department that day, Lin Han said that he would come alone this time and would not bring Jiang Mengyan with him.

How can we miss such a good opportunity?

Before leaving, she changed into a simple white cotton and linen dress, put on some makeup, and carried a drawing board.

She and other members of the department said that they came to the orchard to sketch because of their leg problems but they didn't want to miss the opportunity for team building.

In fact, she had already prepared a sketch based on Lin Han's photo a long time ago.

He was just waiting for Lin Han to 'accidentally' notice that he was alone, and when he came over to ask, he would 'accidentally' see him.
