Rebirth: Back To 1990s

Chapter 5 Meet An Unexpected Person

The middle-aged man carried a basket and a fruit plate in his hands. Apparently, he had just bought them here.

When Wendy saw them walking towards her, she was frightened. She was afraid that they would turn back the products which they didn't really like. The thought made she become so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Celia looked at the little girl calmly, though she didn't know why they came here. As a person who had experienced a lot of things, Celia seemed to be quite coolheaded as always. She believed that she could handle everything well.

"Little girl, why are you here again?" Celia greeted her enthusiastically.

"My grandfather likes the vegetable baskets and fruit plates he bought here. He wants to buy more." The little girl giggled.

Celia was surprised to hear the little girl's words. She raised her head and looked at the gray haired middle-aged man. There was some maturity in his eyes that didn't match his age. She wondered if he really was willing to do buy more products.

"Do you actually make these vegetable basket and fruit plates yourselves?" The middle-aged man asked kindly.

"Well, they are all made by my mother." Celia answered without hesitation.

"My wife bought them when she was shopping then. They are really good. I've been paying attention to you. My name is Jasper Chen. I would like to cooperate with you if possible! " Jasper asked directly.

Hearing the news that they were going to cooperate, Wendy got panicked and didn't know how to response.

Celia, on the other hand, remained calm and confident after heard what Jasper said

"Jasper, we are all from the countryside, and we only know how to grow bamboo and the farming stuff. Thanks to your appreciation for our products, I wonder how you are going to cooperate with us?" Celia said in a calm voice, while she was fixing her eyes on Jasper.

"I have a house. It's just over there. I noticed it when you came in the morning. You haven't had breakfast yet, right? I haven't had breakfast either. Why don't we have breakfast together and talk while eating? " Jasper was also a careful person, easy to get close to.

After thinking for a while, Celia took the little girl's hand and said, "if that's the case, it's better for us to accept it."

"Celia, I don't think it's a good idea. We've sold out all of them. Shall we go back now? " Wendy was a little scared and whispered in Celia's ear.

Celia knew that her mother had been through a lot of hardship and had never seen the world outside. She was afraid of being fooled. Celia immediately held her rough hands and said: "don't worry, mom, I'm with you."

They went to a breakfast shop not far away. The whole morning, Celia and her mother were extremely hungry. They didn't dare to buy anything because they had no penny to their name before. But now, they have earned more than 70 dollars, which allowed them to have a good meal.

Celia and her mother each ordered a bowl of dumplings, and Jasper Chen ordered a bowl of brown sauce noodles.

"May I know your names?" When they sat together, Jasper asked with a smile.

"I'm Celia Tang, and you can call me Celia. This is my mother, Wendy Zhang. She made the vegetable baskets and fruit trays all by herself."

Jasper nodded and said in a clear voice, "let's make it straightforward. I like the baskets and plates you made, and I think they are very popular. If you're willing to sell them to me, I'll buy as many as I can!"

"Purchase?" Celia understood what he meant, it was a win-win result like selling goods on a commission basis. After she calmed down, she asked directly, "Jasper, how about the price?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"You do not make a living easily. You and your daughter have wounds on your hands. You sell 4 dollars for a bamboo basket, and I'll pay you 3.5. As for fruit plates, you sell 2 dollars each and 1.5 for me. What do you think?" Jasper said briskly.

"What? But if you sell the a fruit tray and a vegetable basket at the same time, you will not earn any money, won't you? " Wendy couldn't figure out why he did that.

Then Jasper gave a wry smile and said mysteriously, "this is my business. If you give the products to me, it will be my problem even if I lose money. But you have to promise me one thing, that is the quality. It only can be better than this!"

"Jasper, don't worry about that. Both my mother and I are the genuine peasants. Since you trust us, we will never let you down!" Celia swore to Jasper as she looked into his eyes.

"In this case, I will give you 50 dollars as deposit to show my sincerity." As he said, Jasper took out fifty and handed it to Celia without hesitation.

Celia didn't take the money. She smiled at Jasper and asked, "Uncle Jasper, we've never met each other before. We've only been together for less than ten minutes. You're willing to give us the

engagement money without knowing where we live. Aren't you afraid that we won't come after we get the money?"

On hearing Celia's words, Jasper laughed out loud in disapproval: "ha-ha, I have seen countless people. I'm quite accurate to judge people. To be honest, although your skills are very good, there must be a substitute in the market. The reason why I'm willing to cooperate with you is that I have taken a fancy to your quality."

"Honest character? Where does it come from? " Celia was confused. She didn't know what Jasper meant and how he judged people. After all, they had never met each other before at all.

"It's not really about personality. It's sort of fate. In the morning, you had not open yet. My granddaughter went to see the bird, and you gave it to her free of charge. It doesn't seem to be a trivial thing. But you make money by selling them. I believe that you have neglected money when you gave her the little bird. Simply speaking, I just want to help you. One good turn deserves another " Said Jasper, looking at Celia calmly.

Celia smiled with relief. She finally figured out what happened. She looked at Jasper gratefully and said, "that bird is worthless. Thank you for your appreciation. I won't take the deposit. Now that you trust me, I also trust you. Please give me a specific address. My mother and I will send you what you want in three days. "

"Do you see the Chen's department store? That's my shop. You can send your stuff there directly. " Said Jasper, pointing at a large-scale shop a hundred meters away from them.

Celia looked at the shop and said surprisedly, "Uncle Jasper, the property is huge! Is your department store the largest one nearby? "

Jasper waved his hand and answered calmly, "It may be the largest around the area."

"May I purchase your goods in your shop?" Celia blurted out. Apparently, she had an idea.

Since she was born again, there were plenty of opportunities everywhere. She was absolutely unwilling to be a nobody. She wanted to become rich get ahead
