“Let’s go check out the buzz, shall we?”
“Haha, we should definitely take a good look.”
Mr. Lin and his companions sauntered over to the fruit and vegetable supermarket, and upon seeing the deserted entrance, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Last time they were tricked by Greg Jensen, which really irked them, but seeing how quiet the supermarket was made them feel much better.
“How come there’s not even anyone sending flower baskets?”
“Right? No customers is one thing, but not a single person coming to congratulate?”
Mr. Lin said with a shake of his head, “Tsk tsk, poor Mr. Jensen.”
“Haha…”
The group exchanged glances and laughed out loud together.
Just then, Greg Jensen came out, ready to greet guests. Hearing their conversation, he didn’t get angry but greeted them cheerfully, “Mr. Lin, have you come to congratulate me?”
“Uh…”
Mr. Lin’s expression froze, and he forced a laugh, “Hehe, yes, congratulations,
Mr. Jensen.”
Greg Jensen smiled, “You’ve come empty-handed?”
“Ah, no…”
Mr. Lin, embarrassed, took out his wallet, pulled out a stack of hundred-dollar bills, and handed them over with a smile: “Congratulations, Mr. Jensen. It’s just a small token of respect.”
“Haha, thank you, Mr. Lin.”
Without refusing, Greg Jensen took the money and then looked at the others with a smile.
The other bosses were taken aback, but quickly followed Mr. Lin’s example, each handing over a stack of hundred-dollar bills.
Greg Jensen’s smile grew wider, and with an apologetic tone, he said, “We’ve just opened today, and the place is too chaotic, so I won’t be hosting you right now, but let’s have a meal when there’s time, okay?”
After he had spoken, his eyes suddenly brightened as he approached Micah Brent, who had just gotten out of a car, “Oh my, Commissioner Brent, you’ve come in person, please come inside…”
As Greg Jensen warmly ushered Micah Brent inside as a guest, Mr. Lin and the others’ faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
What was this all about?
They had only come to enjoy the spectacle, not expecting to be caught m the act by Greg Jensen.
That Greg Jensen was such a sly one, what was he doing asking for gifts outright?
Demanding gifts was bad enough, but not even offering a meal?
Someone indignantly said, “Aiden Clark, Mr. Jensen is really not playing fair, is he?”
“Shush…”
Mr. Lin quickly made a silencing gesture and then said to Greg Jensen, who was coming from a distance, “Mr. Jensen, we’ll be heading back then.”
“Sure, take care, no need to see you out…”
Greg Jensen acted as if nothing had happened, chatting and laughing with
Micah Brent as they entered the supermarket.
“Aiden Clark, that’s too much!”
“Exactly, who asks for gifts right to their face?”
“Mr. Lin, say something, will you?”
As the group returned to Mr. Lin’s jewelry store entrance, they watched irritably as Greg Jensen continued greeting other guests at the door.
Mr. Lin glanced at them and said helplessly, “What can I say? Do you guys know who that chubby guy who just arrived is?”
“Who is he?”
“Didn’t Mr. Jensen say he was some kind of commissioner?
Mr. Lin sighed, “That’s the Chief Inspector of Riverhaven County.”
Hearing this, everyone’s faces turned pale.
Someone incredulously said, “Mr. Jensen has such strong connections?” Mr. Lin gave that person a look and asked, “If he didn’t, how do you think Evan Holmes’ issue got resolved?”
“This…”
“Aiden Clark, he must be worth a lot if his connections are that strong, right?
He doesn’t care about our little presents?”
Mr. Lin sighed, “That’s why I told you to stop talking about it. He’s just toying with us on purpose.”
The bosses, upon hearing this, felt like crying and made up their minds to either keep their distance from Greg Jensen or to get on good terms with him.
If they ever crossed Greg Jensen, they feared they might not be able to handle even one of his reprimands.
The fruit and vegetable supermarket wasn’t like other businesses, with well- wishers staying only briefly before leaving. Greg Jensen stood at the entrance, greeting and saying farewell to visitors. When he finally had a moment of respite, he saw Lois Abbott approaching with a worried frown.
“What’s wrong? Who’s upset our Director Lois?” Greg Jensen joked.
Lois Abbott glanced at the empty supermarket and said helplessly, “Isn t anyone coming in?”
“Why the rush? It’s just past seven o’clock,” Greg Jensen replied, looking at his watch with a smile. “Don’t worry, these days even if you open a small store, people will drop by to see what you’ re selling.
We’ve opened this large fruit and vegetable supermarket and done all the necessary advertising. People will definitely come.
“Let’s wait a bit longer…”
Lois Abbott sighed helplessly.
Right at that moment, two women in their thirties walked in, and the somewhat anxious sales staff hurried over to greet them.
“Welcome, please come this way…”
The women just nodded and then began to wander around the supermarket.
After making a round, one of them couldn’t help frowning: “Wiry are these vegetables so expensive?”
The sales staff quickly explained, “Our produce is all natural and pollution-free green vegetables, which taste and nutritionally are incomparable to ordinary vegetables.
Moreover, our vegetables are pesticide-free, you can eat them with confidence after a simple rinse.”
The woman said dismissively, “You’ve really talked up a storm about a bunch
of vegetables.”
The other one said, “Well, we’re here anyway, let’s just buy some. Doesn’t my brother-in-law have colleagues coming over for lunch?”
“Fine.”
Without further ado, the woman bought some vegetables and left the supermarket.
After the two women departed, customers began to arrive just as Greg Jensen had said, right on time.
Wave after wave of customers soon packed the fruit and vegetable supermarket. Seeing so many customers, Lois Abbott finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face. She whispered, “Greg, is our pricing a bit too high?”
Greg Jensen shook his head. “No, we are targeting the mid-to-high-end market. It’s better to have customers who appreciate quality over quantity. Just watch, in a day or two, business will stabilize.”
“Alright then.”
Lois Abbott still felt somewhat unsure.
Just then, a nearby customer suddenly exclaimed, “Why are these vegetables so expensive?”
“Our produce is all natural and pollution-free green vegetables. They taste much better than ordinary vegetables. Wiry don’t you try the cucumber and carrots first?”
Hearing the customer’s complaint about the price, the sales staff hastily recycled their earlier spiel.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try, but I won’t buy it if it doesn’t taste good.”
The customer, who was quite straightforward, immediately picked up a cucumber, rinsed it off to the side, and took a crunchy bite.
After a few bites, his eyes lit up, surprised he said, “Hmm, this cucumber is really good, it has a fresher taste than ordinary vegetables. Give me three pounds.”
“It’s just a cucumber, can it be that tasty?”
“Don’t believe me? Try it for yourself…”
“Hey, it really is good. I’ll take some too.”
With the first person trying them out, other customers also tasted a few types of vegetables that could be eaten raw, and without a doubt, everyone had high praise for the supermarket’s produce.
The surrounding words of admiration immediately spurred everyone’s desire to buy.
The once relatively quiet supermarket instantly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
Seeing this scene, Lois Abbott completely let go of her worries. She turned her head and saw Greg Jensen looking at the customers with a calm expression, showing no sign of panic.
Looking at his handsome and clean profile, she felt very reassured, and a happy smile blossomed on her face.
She suddenly realized that as long as Greg Jensen was around, she felt an unparalleled confidence — no matter what happened.
In her view, what seemed to be troublesome matters became non-issues with Greg Jensen.
