My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 443: Why not mention that everyone’s rice has gone up in price?

Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Why not mention that everyone’s rice has gone up in price?

"Indeed, that’s the case," the assistant nodded.

"Heh, I want to see how well Hexing Rice is selling," President Cheng told the assistant, "Keep a close eye on the sales of Hexing Rice."

"Yes," the assistant responded.

"Didn’t Lu Youxi say that if we want to collaborate with her in the future, she’s going to raise the prices?" President Cheng brought it up and became angry, scoffing, "Let’s first wait and see if she can sell that Hexing Rice!"

The next day, the village chief hurried back to Hexing Village.

As soon as the village chief arrived at the entrance of the village, he was spotted by a burly man carrying a plow on his shoulder.

"Village chief, you’re back!" the burly man exclaimed in surprise, as the village chief had only left not too long ago, "How did things go with Youxi? Is everything cleared up?"

"I must thank everyone this time, Youxi has asked me to thank everyone as well. My return this time is for an important matter, and also, I have some great news to share with everyone. By the way, are you heading out?"

"Great news? What kind of great news?" The man’s eyes lit up upon hearing that.

The village chief said cheerfully, "I’ll announce it at the broadcasting station in a moment. If you’re heading out, make sure to hurry back, or let your family know, it’s fine if they send a representative to listen."

"I’m not in that much of a rush to leave," the burly man quickly said, "Village chief, give me the lowdown first, is it related to our Hexing Rice?"

The villagers had now also gotten into the habit of referring to their rice as Hexing Rice.

"Yes, and it’s indeed great news," the village chief said, "No more talk now, I need to head home first, to drop off my luggage."

"Ah! Okay, go ahead!" Hearing this, the burly man, holding the plow, quickly turned around and ran back home.

The village chief had told his wife the previous day that he would be returning today, so the Village Chief’s Wife was waiting at home early.

Hearing the excited barking of Xiao Wang in the yard, clearly different from the barking at strangers, was followed by the panting noises of "harharhar", and then came the voice of the village chief, "Xiao Wang, good boy, I’m back, alright alright, silly dog."

The Village Chief’s Wife quickly went out, "You’re back!"

She took the luggage from the village chief’s hands, saying with a chuckle, "It seems you’ve been getting plumper and fairer during these days in the city."

The village chief scratched his head, saying somewhat embarrassingly, "The city life is quite nice, no need to be under the sun every day. Youxi’s restaurant provided meals for me; I wanted to pay for my food, but Aunt Xu and Youxi’s mother wouldn’t take my money. I really have been eating quite well..."

The Village Chief’s Wife: "..."

The village chief quickly added, "How about I ask Youxi for a favor, see if we can transfer Yanshun to a school in the Imperial Capital? That way, you and Yanshun can just move to the Imperial Capital directly, no need to toil here."

"Forget it. Do you remember the trouble Youxi went through to transfer Youxue to school? It was only successful when Youxue’s hukou was transferred under Zhou Shuyan’s name. You have already troubled Youxi with many things in the Imperial Capital; even the rent is being paid by Youxi now. We can’t be overbearing."

"I knew it; you’re always the understanding one," the village chief said with emotion.

The Village Chief’s Wife spat out in a jest, "Don’t think I don’t know, you’re saying this on purpose for me to hear."

The village chief said with a chuckle, "I can’t hide anything from you."

The Village Chief’s Wife knew the village chief was just sweet-talking her, but she still felt quite happy about him willing to sweet-talk and tell her the things she liked to hear.

"Alright," the Village Chief’s Wife said as if she were annoyed but also pleased, "Yanshun will be taking college entrance exams next year. I’ll hang on here for another year, and then I can go to the Imperial Capital to be with you. By then, if you’ve made money, you’ll be able to rent your own place, and I’ll feel more secure."

"Moreover, when I’m here, I can help you relay messages and keep an eye on the situation in our village," the Village Chief’s Wife said.

Together with his wife, the village chief carried the luggage into the house.

"There’s food and other stuff I brought back in the suitcase, and also some practice books for Yanshun; please take them," the village chief instructed.

"You’ve bought practice books again, why did you even buy more food and things," the Village Chief’s Wife couldn’t help saying, "We haven’t even finished eating the good food you brought back last time."

"My return times aren’t fixed, so I don’t know when I’ll be back next; that’s why I buy something every time," the village chief said, "Once the company business stabilizes, I’ll try to come back once a month."

"That’s going to be expensive airfare," lamented the Village Chief’s Wife, "Yanshun understands things now; I just need to make sure he doesn’t slack off on his studies. You don’t need to worry about the rest."

"Then, during Yanshun’s summer vacation, I’ll bring you to the Imperial Capital to stay for the summer break. It’s the perfect opportunity for Yanshun to broaden his horizons and for me to accompany you on outings in the city," the village chief said.

"That would be fantastic," the Village Chief’s Wife joyfully said.

The Village Chief’s Wife went to open the suitcase to take out the stuff, while the village chief went to the broadcasting station to gather everyone at the small square, declaring there was great news to announce.

Hearing it was great news, the villagers arrived unusually quickly.

Usually, the village chief would arrive first and wait for the villagers to trickle in.

This time, when the village chief arrived with the megaphone, the villagers were already waiting there.

Seeing the village chief, they called out in unison: "Village chief, you’ve finally arrived."

"Has everyone arrived?" the village chief asked, holding the megaphone.

"We’re all here, everyone’s here!" the villagers said in unison, "Village chief, what’s the great news?"

The village chief said cheerfully, "Our Hexing Rice has secured a business deal!"

"In the future, the demand for our Hexing Rice will be even greater!" Now, the village chief could say this with confidence.

"How much greater?"

"What kind of business deal have you secured?"

The crowd excitedly barraged him with questions.

"Everyone quiet down, let me explain everything in order," the village chief said.

The crowd quickly quieted down.

The village chief then talked about the business deals secured with Dongshenglai and Sincere Supermarket.

"Youxi has put in a lot of effort, and finally, we’ve secured these two deals for us," the village chief said.

"Youxi has worked hard!"

"Youxi is really capable!"

At this moment, most people, including the village chief, did not notice that Ge Guifen and Lu Youzhen were also standing at the back of the crowd.

The two of them were at home when they heard that the village chief had returned and were gossiping about it.

The village chief had just returned not long ago; why had he come back again?

Ge Guifen maliciously speculated whether Lu Youxi had gotten into more trouble, hence the village chief’s return to seek the support of everyone.

The last time the village chief came back, the two had missed the spectacle and regretted it.

This time, they were determined not to miss out on the excitement and hastily came over.

They had missed Lu Youxi’s embarrassment the last time, and now, after finally showing up, they ended up hearing great news they didn’t want to hear.

Lu Youzhen pulled on Ge Guifen’s arm, what now?

Lu Youxi had secured a business deal.

Ge Guifen snorted coldly and said, "She’s secured a business deal, but how come she didn’t tell everyone that the price of our rice is going up?"
