A few days later, Chen Jinshan and his son obediently handed the 100,000 yuan to Xu Fann without waiting for Xu Fann to take the initiative to collect the bill.

They were well aware of how much of an impact this would have on them. Failing to pay back the debt would only make things worse. They might as well just pay Xu Fann back honestly, so that they wouldn't have too much time to waste.

With this money, coupled with the profits from selling fruits these days, Xu Fann could finally find a way out.

These few days, after he had delivered the goods, he drove the tricycle around the county in search of a suitable entrance.

Very quickly, he found a fruit store that sold façades.

This fruit shop failed due to poor business. However, the decorations and equipment inside were all newly established by this boss, which made Xu Fann very satisfied.

Taking over this kind of ready-made reputation would save him a lot of trouble. In addition, the other party was in a hurry to make a move, so they quickly agreed on a price of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan.

Once the front of the store was done, Xu Fann only needed to wait for the individual license before he could officially run his fruit shop.

In these few days, he could also use his Lower River Village and search for a few employees to help him manage the business of the fruit shop.

There weren't many employees in the fruit shop. They were responsible for moving the fruits and keeping the food fresh. A few of them were enough.

This position didn't require much education or work experience, so Xu Fann didn't spend too much energy on it.

The monthly salary of three thousand yuan was advertised by Wu Yuxuan. Very soon, a group of people rushed over to apply.

There were even many people who came to their home with chicken and local specialties in hopes of obtaining this job through gifts.

Xu Fann chose a few that he liked and told the rest to go home.

Next, all he needed was a shop manager.

Compared to the average employee, the manager's requirements were much higher.

The most important thing for him to do now was to have someone he could trust.

On the other hand, Xiuxiu was able to help him. On one hand, she was his younger sister, and on the other hand, she was here to settle scores. It wouldn't be difficult for him to help her.

However, this girl would soon have to go to university. It would be impossible to get her to help him for a short period of time.

After thinking for a while, Xu Fann finally thought of a suitable candidate.

After dinner, he went to Qiu Su'e's house.

If Qiu Su'e was going to help him manage the fruit shop, Xu Fann would be at ease.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Qiu Su'e, she had a good feeling about herself. At the very least, she didn't have any bad intentions.

Not only that, compared to the generally low level of education in the Lower River Village, Qiu Su'e, as a woman who had attended high school, was even harder to come by.

"Sister Su'e? "Are you home?"

Very quickly, Xu Fann arrived at Qiu Su'e's house. He knocked on the door, only to discover that the door was not locked properly. With a creak, the door was opened.

"Hmm?"

It was unknown if Qiu Su'e forgot to close the door, or if there was a thief in her house. Xu Fann frowned, pushed open the door and walked in.

Qiu Su'e's house was very simple and crude. The TV set in the living room was a black-and-white TV that had long been eliminated.

However, under Qiu Su'e's care, the house was organized and tidy.

"Sister Su'e, are you home?"

Xu Fann glanced around but didn't see any trace of Qiu Su'e, so he asked again.

"Who, who's outside?"

At this moment, Qiu Su'e's voice came from the depths of the house.

There was a hint of panic in his voice, but Xu Fann didn't notice it. He quickly walked into the depths of the room as he listened.

"Sister Su'e, it's me, Xu Fann."

"Ah?" Xu, Xu Fann! You, don't come near me first! "

Hearing Qiu Su'e's call, Xu Fann was still a bit confused. However, when he walked to the door of the toilet, he saw a graceful figure holding onto her chest reflected in the frosted glass window.

"Cough, cough …" "Sister Su'e, I-I'll go to the living room and wait for you."

No wonder Qiu Su'e was so flustered. She was in the middle of bathing. Xu Fann rubbed his nose awkwardly, then turned around and walked into the living room.

If it was anyone else, Qiu Su'e would probably be out of luck.

Qiu Su'e was not in the mood to continue washing as there was a man outside. She dried her body and changed into a floral dress before walking out.

"Xu, Xu Fann, how did you get in here …"

Beneath Qiu Su'e's wet hair, her pretty face was blushing. Obviously, as a woman, she was very nervous to have a man barge in at such a time.

Xu Fann explained, "Uh, Sister Su'e, your door wasn't closed tight, so I just pushed it open. I was worried that a thief had entered your house, so I came in to take a look …"

"So, so it's like this huh …"

Qiu Su'e couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when she heard that. She thought to herself, "Luckily I felt it in time. Otherwise, if Xu Fann had rushed into the toilet just now and seen me naked, I would have been too embarrassed."

"Xu Fann, this, this is the middle of the night, why are you here? What are you doing …"

However, the awkwardness did not end there. It was already eight or nine in the evening. As a man, what was Xu Fann doing in his house at this time? Qiu Su'e still felt uneasy.

Xu Fann smiled. He didn't notice Qiu Su'e's awkwardness and said, "Sister Su'e, I came here to give you a chance to earn money."

"Ah?" Earn, earn money? "

Qiu Su'e couldn't help but be taken aback. She had long since become so distracted that she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.

Due to her beauty, Qiu Su'e had met many people who wanted to give her a chance to earn some money.

This sounded good, but it was also called earning money. It sounded bad, but in reality, it was just letting oneself be the mistress of another person.

Qiu Su'e thought herself to be a woman who knew shame. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she looked at Xu Fann.

People always say that when men are rich, they become bad. Unexpectedly, Xu Fann was like that as well.

"Xu Fann, forget it. Sis doesn't want to earn your money."

"Huh?"

Listening to Qiu Su'e's words, Xu Fann felt puzzled as if he smelled gunpowder.

"Em, Sister Su'e, don't you think there's too little money? We can talk about the treatment later. Don't be in such a hurry to reject me."

His fruit shop was about to open and he desperately needed someone to hire. Thus, Xu Fann patiently explained to Qiu Su'e.

However, in Qiu Su'e's eyes, it was as good as being shameless.

It made her think of all the humiliation she had suffered all these years. She was a woman, alone and without anyone to rely on. Why was she still misunderstood …

For a moment, tears welled up in his eyes.

Gritting her teeth, she looked at Xu Fann resolutely and said in a sobbing tone, "Xu Fann, this isn't a matter of money, I'm not the kind of person you think I am. You can leave, I hope you won't have any more ideas in the future."

"Ah?" Sister Su'e, you've even made me dizzy. What wrong have I done to you? "

Xu Fann blinked with a look of innocence. What on earth did he do?

"I just want you to help me take care of the fruit shop …"
