But this time was different. Ye Mu actually showed off a new plant that had never been seen before, but he could not immediately prove the authenticity of this new plant. So those people who hated the rich immediately swarmed over like flies smelling fishy smell, and madly mocked and ridiculed Ye Mu, saying that he was rich but brainless, and that he was stupid for helping others count money after being cheated.
How could those people still have reason to mock and trample on those who were previously high and mighty? No matter how Ye Mu explained, they just thought he was making weak excuses, so they immediately felt that they were smarter and wiser than the young master of the richest man's family, and finally they could despise Ye Mu in terms of intelligence and morality, and feel proud.
So in this case, Ye Mu’s explanation is powerless, and the comments under his social media platform are disgusting.
After reading a few of the comments, Ke Tingfan felt a little sympathetic towards this simple young master. However, when he thought of Rong Shichu's leniency towards him, Ke Tingfan's mood suddenly became worse.
But he knew that after the breadfruit was ripe, Rong Shichu would give it to Ye Mu first, and he would be the second one. No, he didn't charge for the one he gave to Ye Mu, but he had to pay for the one he received!
When Ke Tingfan thought of this, he immediately lost his sympathy for Young Master Ye. He felt that Rong Shichu treated Young Master Ye much better than he treated himself.
Ke Tingfan, who was not very happy, looked at Rong Shichu, who was concentrating on reading the documents, with some resentment.
Rong Shichu had such sharp five senses that she noticed Ke Tingfan's "passionate" gaze at once. Rong Shichu looked up at him and saw that he looked a little aggrieved, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ke Tingfan asked with a somewhat resentful tone, "Do you like Ye Mu very much? He is just a little brat, with an inappropriate naivety. If he hadn't had his family to protect him, who knows how he would have been swallowed up."
Rong Shichu didn't understand why he said this, but since he said it, Rong Shichu answered: "I like him very much. When I first opened my online store, it was not well-known and business was average. It was he who placed large orders with my store every time, which allowed me to safely get through that period when I was short of money. He also promoted my online store afterwards, so I am very grateful to him."
After hearing this, Ke Tingfan felt as if he was pricked by a needle in his heart. Yes, it was Ye Mu who helped Rong Shichu during her most difficult time, so what qualifications did he have to complain about the preferential treatment Ye Mu received from Rong Shichu
He only hated himself for not meeting her earlier, leaving her alone to spend such a miserable and helpless time.
"But my liking for him is just like a sister's liking for her brother, without any other mixture, so you don't have to be so jealous." Rong Shichu said to Ke Tingfan meaningfully. Only then did she realize that his sour words just now were due to jealousy.
When Ke Tingfan heard her words, the tips of his ears turned red, but he still denied it proudly: "I'm not jealous, I just saw that he has been helping you explain on Starnet. Although it doesn't help, his spirit is commendable."
"Okay, okay, you're not jealous." Rong Shichu leaned over with a smile, kissed Ke Tingfan, and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, I only like mature, handsome, talented and beautiful men like you. Ye Mu is too young, I'm not interested."
The corners of Ke Tingfan's mouth lifted up involuntarily, the tenderness and smile in his eyes almost overflowed, and it seemed as if endless honey was flowing out of his heart, making him feel extremely sweet.
Just as the two were being affectionate, President Zhang and his men came out excitedly with a pair of things. When they saw Rong Shichu, they couldn't wait to say, "Miss Rong, we have thoroughly studied the breadfruit and seedlings you sent, and confirmed that this is a new variety of plant. We have already made a certificate for you."
Rong Shichu took it and looked at it. It contained various data analyses of breadfruit, and the information was very detailed and accurate.
Rong Shichu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then she could promote breadfruit openly next.
"Ms. Rong, can I buy a breadfruit from you?" President Zhang asked Rong Shichu a little embarrassedly, "I really like this new plant and I really hope to have it..."
"I want it too!" Seeing that President Zhang had taken the initiative, Mr. Zhou hurriedly said, looking at Rong Shichu eagerly.
"Me! I want it too..." Others also shouted, "Ms. Rong, no matter how much it costs, I am willing to give it to you even if it means bankrupting me. I hope you will not reject us..."
Rong Shichu looked at the people in front of her who were looking at her with expectant eyes, like children longing for their favorite toys, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
The elders in the association were kind-hearted. They did not try to use their power to force Rong Shichu to hand over the other breadfruits. Instead, they quietly tried to buy them with money. Their honesty surprised Rong Shichu.
Faced with such a group of people, she certainly would not refuse, so she said: "You don't have to spend all your money. I was planning to promote breadfruit, so the price will not be very expensive. But I don't have many breadfruits now. If you want them privately, you have to wait, because I still have to sell them on my own online store to dispel the rumors that I am cheating. But I can donate two to the association."
After hearing this, President Zhang was so happy that he shook Rong Shichu's hand and kept thanking him: "Thank you! I didn't expect you to be willing to promote breadfruit. You are so selfless and worthy of being a member of the Rong family!"
No, I am not selfless, I want to gain merit... Rong Shichu thought to himself.
Mr. Zhou was also somewhat moved. He looked at Rong Shichu and said with emotion, "We are narrow-minded. We thought you would firmly hold the breadfruit in your hands and create huge wealth. I didn't expect that you would be willing to contribute it to benefit everyone. Such a broad mind really makes me ashamed of myself."
"Thank you so much..." Rong Shichu felt a little guilty after being praised so sincerely by them, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I would like to ask your association to issue a statement to prove that I have indeed grown a new plant, because there have been all kinds of rumors about my online store on the Internet recently, and I hope your association can help dispel the rumors."
"Yes, this is what we should do. We have no choice but to do it!" President Zhang agreed immediately.
Rong Shichu smiled even brighter and said, "Is it okay for me to bring that pot of seedlings? I'll give it to your association. You can help it grow by yourself. This will make it easier to understand the growth process of the breadfruit tree."
After hearing this, President Zhang was so excited that he didn't know what to say, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Okay, you are such a good kid. You are willing to give us such precious plants..."
Seeing that these people were about to thank her sincerely again, Rong Shichu couldn't stand so many sentimental scenes, so she quickly pulled Ke Tingfan away from the Planters Association.
