  Ma Haichao called Song Baiyu because he was in trouble.

  After the expert from the Provincial Agricultural University announced the identification result of the ferns in Tuozizhuang Village, the villagers who had been uneasy in their hearts were first overjoyed, and then their mood became complicated.

  To know that the general loose ferns can sell for 60 yuan per kilogram, while the vegetable base of Tuozi Village's ferns was identified by the Provincial Agricultural Institute as green, harmless and high-quality vegetables. With this authoritative identification, it means that the ferns from Tuozi Village Vegetable Base will definitely be sold at a higher price.

  The fact also proved that the villagers' speculation was correct. As soon as the expert from the Provincial Agricultural University finished reading out the identification result of the fern vegetable, a middle-aged businessman standing next to the expert immediately asked who was in charge of the vegetable base and expressed his willingness to cooperate with the vegetable base for a long time, and quoted a purchase price of 80 yuan per kilogram for the fern vegetable.

  The villagers were all frightened by the price offered by the middle-aged businessman, 80 yuan per kilogram. The village's vegetable base has more than 400 mu of ferns, which is worth a lot of money. The villagers found that they couldn't calculate it at once.

  Ma Hai Long, who was in charge of receiving the expert from Provincial Agricultural University, did not immediately agree to the middle-aged businessman's request for long-term cooperation, but said that he would consider it carefully and get back to him in a few days.

  After seeing off the expert from Sheng Nong Da and the middle-aged man, Ma Hailong immediately dialed Song Boyu's phone number. Unfortunately, Song Boyu's phone was always in a powered-off state for the next few days. Ma Hailong almost called Song Boyu every day, but unfortunately, he couldn't get through to him. The vegetable vendors who came with the wind were one wave after another, keeping Ma Hailong busy and worried, and he even regretted agreeing to help Song Boyu manage the vegetable base in the first place.

  "Dad, was that Song Baiyu who just called you?" Manina asked in a low voice as she saw her father hang up the phone.

  "Yes, Bo Yu has finally arrived, he's coming over right away, now I can relax." Ma Hai Long didn't notice the worried look in his daughter's eyes, and excitedly said: "Nana, quickly go to the Road Mouth Store and buy a dozen cold beers for me, I'll drink with Bo Yu later."

  "Okay." Manina responded softly, glancing at her father but hesitating to speak.

  "Why are you still standing here? Do you have something else to do?" Ma Hai Long asked in puzzlement, seeing his daughter nodding but not moving.

  "Dad, you said Song Baiyu is coming, will he scold me? I want to go out and hide." Manina pinched her collar and said worriedly.

  Song Baiyu once gave Marina a large check to let Marina develop the vegetable base while taking over the cement factory that was sealed, and transforming it into a vegetable processing plant. However, due to lack of confidence in the vegetable base, Marina was afraid that Song Baiyu's money would be wasted, so she didn't dare to take over the cement factory. After the results of the fern identification came out, Marina wanted to take over the cement factory, but found that the procedures for taking over the cement factory were particularly numerous and could not be completed in one or two days.

  Ma Hailong was taken aback, but then immediately understood what his daughter meant. Ma Hailong didn't think his daughter had done anything wrong, because taking over the cement factory wasn't something that could be done with just a little money. If the vegetable base hadn't been successful, taking over the cement factory would have been a purely wasteful act. But now that the vegetable base had unexpectedly yielded a bumper harvest, things were getting a bit tricky.

  "Nana, you've been staying in the vegetable base for several months without stopping, and you've also invited experts from the Provincial Agricultural University to come and guide the villagers on cultivation techniques multiple times. I think Bo Yu shouldn't blame you excessively." Ma Hai Long hesitated for a moment before responding in a low voice, but in fact, he himself was uncertain, because of his daughter's arbitrary decisions, Song Bo Yu's vegetable processing plant had been clearly put on hold, would Song Bo Yu really not get angry about this?

  "But I just don't dare face him, always feeling like I owe him something." Manina said with a troubled expression.

  In fact, the vegetable base had just been established for less than half a month, and Manina calmed down. She felt that she had actually believed in Song Boyu, and even followed Song Boyu's command baton action completely, which was simply a brain-rotting behavior. Until when she saw that the fern seedlings were sprouting in the infertile land, her interest was hooked up again, and she took care of the vegetable base very seriously. Nevertheless, she still had serious doubts about the vegetable base, to the extent that she hadn't dared to spend money to take over the cement factory that had been sealed off.

  "Nana, you're still holding onto Song Baiyu's over a million in cash, are you thinking of absconding with the money? Besides, didn't you used to be so arrogant in front of Song Baiyu before? Why are you suddenly afraid of him now?" Ma Hailong saw that his daughter was indeed feeling guilty, and a sly smile spread across his face as he teased loudly.

  "Who says I'm afraid of him? If it weren't for me, the vegetable base wouldn't be taken care of so well?" Stimulated by Ma Hailong's words, Ma Naina immediately regained her lively personality and loudly said: "I am a meritorious minister, if he dares to give me a dirty look, I will..."

  Manina stuttered for half a day and couldn't get the words out, but in the end, she was still in the wrong. Song Boyu had delegated all the power to her, and she hadn't handled things well, so it was impossible for her to blame Song Boyu again.

  In Ma Ha Long's loud laughter, Ma Ni Na fled in embarrassment with a red face and ears.

  "What... what do you want to do?" Manina had just walked out of the house door when she found a large truck parked in front of her family's house, and more than a dozen men in suits were walking towards her. The leader was actually her childhood friend Heizi.

  Marina clearly remembered that Hei Zi had dropped out of elementary school and started hanging out on the streets, was sent to prison in his teens for crippling someone in a fight, and then lost contact with the village. Unexpectedly, after several years passed, Hei Zi transformed into a successful person wearing a suit and leather shoes from being a street thug.

  "Hey, isn't this Nana? She's really changed a lot since she was 18. I didn't expect that little yellow-haired girl who used to follow me around everywhere would become so charming." Hei Zi's eyes lit up when he saw Ma Ni Na, and he stretched out his large palm to touch her face.

  Marina nimbly dodged Hei Zi's offense, warily sizing up these people, and sternly rebuked: "What kind of people are you, coming to my home for what?"

  At this time, Manina knew that Heizi was still the same as before, and it was inevitable that he would eat shit. It could be imagined what kind of people came with Heizi, and for a moment, she had an ominous feeling in her heart.

  Hei Zi couldn't reach Mariana's pale and beautiful face, his expression was awkward, his eyes kept scanning Mariana's curvaceous body back and forth, hesitating on how to tease this childhood friend. But then a stern voice sounded in his ear.

  "Heizi, we've come here today for a serious matter, don't make things complicated."

  The speaker was a young man of about thirty years old, with a height of around 1.8 meters and a robust figure. He wore a crisp white suit, with a pair of frameless glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, which added to his refined demeanor.

  When Hei Zi heard the words of the glasses youth, he immediately put away his greedy heart and said seriously: "Nana, it's like this. Our military brother is the boss of a vegetable company in Sha Cheng. I heard that your vegetable base had a big harvest, so he came over to take a look. If the quality of the vegetables is still passable, we will buy all of your vegetables. What do you think?"

  "Are you really here to buy vegetables?" Manina looked at the dozen or so people in front of her with a puzzled expression, feeling that their intentions were not so simple, and couldn't help but ask softly.

  As soon as Mariana's words fell, Hei Zi's eyes glared, about to get angry, and several people around him also stared at Song Bo Yu with anger, looking like they were about to make a big move. However, after the bespectacled youth coughed once, Hei Zi and the others immediately quieted down.

  "Miss Ma, I have come with utmost sincerity to acquire your vegetable base's ferns. This is my business card, please take a look." The bespectacled young man smiled and handed Ma Ni Na a platinum business card, politely smiling.

  Manina took a closer look at the business card and knew that the young man's name was Liu Yanjun, but she had some doubts about the claim on the card that he was the chairman and general manager of Green Hair Vegetable Company. These days, there were many fake companies, let alone Liu Yanjun being with someone like Heizi, so she really didn't trust this Liu Yanjun.

  "Manina, Liu really came to acquire the leek, you don't believe him, should at least believe me, we had contact a few days ago." Manina was pondering how to refuse Liu Yanjun's acquisition request when a loud male voice sounded in her ear.

  Manina looked up to find that the speaker was Dong Hui from the Jin Yang City Industrial and Commercial Bureau. She had dealt with him recently because of the registration of her processing company, but at that time, Dong Hui's attitude towards her was very cold and he had been holding back her procedures. He didn't even give her face when she asked him out for a meal, until Manina smoothly handled the company registration under someone else's guidance after sending a thick gift to him.

  Seeing that there were government officials speaking for Liu Yanjun, Mariana couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed. After all, Tunzi Village was under the jurisdiction of Jinyang City, and she could afford to offend Liu Yanjun, but she couldn't afford to offend Dong Hui, otherwise it would be extremely difficult for her to develop her vegetable company in the future.

  "Director Dong, it's not that I don't trust President Liu, but the vegetable base is something I have no control over. Otherwise, with so many batches of bamboo shoots coming in earlier, I would have sold them long ago!" Mariana replied crisply, glancing at Dong Hui.

  "Manina, I can understand the merchant's pursuit of profit. If one is too focused on making money and ignores other things, that's foolishness. Now that Mr. Liu has come, you can't just let him leave empty-handed, can you?" Dong Hui's face turned cold as he spoke harshly, seeing Manina reject his words without hesitation.
