The leaders of Baiyu County were driving, their feet and entire legs exerting pressure along with their waists!

They wished they could squeeze sparks out of the gas pedal, and just be done with it!

To put it bluntly, they were really fed up!

For the sake of grape sales in Baiyu County, they had spent countless days worrying themselves to the point of losing appetite and sleep.

Stuck with this mess in their hands, beyond duty, they truly had empathy, compassion, and a sense of responsibility.

During the past few days when the live streamer was present, although they didn’t have to drink or boast with the younger generation, they were on pins and needles as well.

They stayed on guard throughout the live stream, and even when the streamer was resting at night, they were patrolling everywhere, striving to keep this good situation from going awry and saving face.

But now, how long had it been since she left?

Has it even been three hours?

She probably hasn’t even reached home yet.

But just look at the website link, and the online store on the live streaming platform, the announcements are already out!

With such a large store, reputation cannot be ruined, and now it’s really like spilled water that can’t be retrieved!

Then look at the messages in the village group, and a few hurried calls from the village secretary, their heads were buzzing with the headache.

When answering the phone, he said irritably:

"Rush rush rush, what are you rushing for?! Do you think I’m not anxious?!"

When he received the call, he was driving to the city, planning to happily report to the leaders!

But the relative of the streamer, the girl who looked like a Fairy, doing things especially efficiently, not very talkative but also capable of making decisions, gently said:

"Sorry, sir, I’ve just received news from our county..."

Thinking of this matter fills him with anger!

Not at the streamer, but at these unreliable people!

"The situation was posted in the group first, and only then notified us, haven’t you figured out what this means?!"

"It means they are not giving us a chance to smooth things over!"

"Do you know how much a big streamer earns in a day? Ning City couldn’t find anyone to take this order, we had to thick-skinnedly beg an old leader for help! They came because of personal feelings!"

"...Five yuan commission? Is five yuan a lot? Have you seen his previous streams? Do you think he needs your five yuan? His own fruit can sell for a hundred! Sell for a hundred!!! And you have to rush to buy it, you know?"

Shouting hoarse and with a broken voice, the fire in his lungs burned even more fiercely.

On the other end, the village secretary was also in a difficult situation.

At his age, being scolded like this, does it feel good?

But looking at Gu Laosan, who was silently smoking and occasionally wiping tears with his thumb...

What could he do? What could he do?

He couldn’t help anyone.

His own orchard also relied on others not to lose everything.

After the leader finished venting and hung up, he took a puff of his cigarette too, then sighed at Gu Laosan:

"You see, we’ve been asking for favors all along, there’s no solution."

"And, is the one responsible for watching your orchard named Ming He? Look at that young man, he’s serious and upright, just think where he might have retired from?"

"Can a person like him just be a security guard? Do you think the streamer is without influence?"

"And you’re still being stubborn, stubborn about what? Caught once and still not taking a hint, you want to be caught a second time?"

He said, lowering his head and smoking deeply, quickly reducing the cigarette to a stub, which he then depressed in frustration against the concrete floor:

"Just tell me, after this incident, will anyone still come next year if we invite them again?"

Gu Laosan truly regretted it.

But he was also genuinely aggrieved:

"I sorted out the unqualified ones, he fined me, deducted my payment, and I accepted it. But why did he refund the ones previously sold? I had already harvested my grapes..."

"What to do, what to do?"

He grabbed the village secretary’s hand: "Uncle, I messed up in a moment of confusion, but that’s my close family, I couldn’t let go for the sake of face... Please speak up for me, say something good for me!"

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "I’ll give him eight yuan per kilo! Ten, even ten would be fine! I can’t hang my harvested grapes back on the trees, they’ll rot, they really will!"

He shouted hoarsely, also in deep sorrow.

The village secretary shook his head:

"Haven’t they warned you, all contracts have been signed. In your case, they’re not responsible."

Even to ensure understanding, before signing the contract, the streamer’s team had briefly explained the terms of such situations.
