When Xiao Lingyu announced that she was the owner of Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables, many people were surprised.

Many of them had heard of the shop.

Some of them had never seen the owner, but they had eaten the vegetables, for example, Grandpa Zeng.

As soon as he heard Xiao Lingyu was the owner, he immediately smiled and said, "You own the shop often mentioned by Ol Qian and Ol Chen? I've eaten your vegetables before. They are not bad. However, it's hard for my family to get them. I hear your business is really good."

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Grandpa, I need to thank my customers for their support."

Grandpa Zeng thought for a moment and said, "Miss, I heard from Ol Qian and the others that they ordered their vegetables directly from you. Is that true?"

Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "Sir, there are indeed a few old clients who book daily vegetables from me."

Grandpa Zeng looked around and whispered to Xiao Lingyu, "Girl, do you think I can book daily vegetables from you too?"

Xiao Lingyu readily replied, "Of course, Grandpa." She knew many people with the surname Qian and Chen, but only a few handfuls of them had booked daily vegetables from her. Seeing how familiar Grandpa Zeng was with those elders, he had to come from a powerful background too. Xiao Lingyu was a businesswoman. She was shrewd. She knew she needed connections. Why would she miss out on this network?

"Okay, it's a deal then!" Grandpa Zeng said happily, "Save some vegetables for me like how you did Ol Chen and Ol Qian."

Xiao Lingyu nodded. "Grandpa, just tell me how much vegetables you need every day, and I'll reserve them for you. Then, you can go straight to the Gu Family Hotel to get them." The vegetables she sold to the Gu Family Hotel and the vegetables she reserved for her familiar clients all came from the farming space.

Gu Qingjiao was nervous when she saw Xiao Lingyu and the nosy old man talking and laughing together. But she immediately became angry.

She pointed at Grandpa Zeng and scolded, "Old Man, what does my shop's business have to do with you? If you continue to mind my business, I'll really have someone come to break your bones!"

The Madam Boss was flustered by Xiao Lingyu's self-introduction. She was not scared by Xiao Xinxin and her family, but she was cautious of Taoyuan Village Fresh Fruits and Vegetables. When that shop opened for business, the event was really grand.

The general manager of the Gu Family Hotel, the boss of Fei Teng Car Dealership, the eldest son of the Zheng Real Estate, and many others went to celebrate. They were powerful people at Xing Yin County. They were not scary as merchants, but their background was terrifying. They had sent flower baskets for the shop's grand opening, so they must have a certain degree of friendship with the owner.

Gu Qingjiao was someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. After being in the business for so many years, she understood the importance of connections.

If Xiao Lingyu were just the owner of an ordinary shop, she would not be a threat. However, her shop was not ordinary. She didn't know how to deal with Xiao Lingyu, so she could only wait for her husband to come.

However, she couldn't just stand there and do nothing. She had to vent her anger. She decided to make the old man who had been standing up for Xiao Xinxin her target.

After being scolded, Grandpa Zeng's face turned livid again.

He pointed at Gu Qingjiao and said loudly, "Fine. I will wait here for your people to come to break my legs!"
