A reborn mother longs for her daughter's happiness.

Chapter 85 Autumn Fruit and Vegetable Battle

Before the first rays of sunlight had fully illuminated the fruit and vegetable store, Liu Xuan burst in like a whirlwind, waving a crumpled piece of paper and shouting, "Friends, our new autumn fruit and vegetable plan is here!"

His colleagues peeked out from behind the shelves, looking at him sleepily.

"Liu Xuan, what kind of trouble are you up to so early in the morning?" Xiaoyan, who was in charge of the cashier, said with a yawn.

"Hehe, this is my meticulously planned autumn treasure hunt, listen up!" Liu Xuan jumped onto an empty fruit crate, cleared his throat, and said, "Pumpkin, sweet potato, lotus root, yam, spinach, cauliflower, onion, radish—we're going to create an autumn vegetable supergroup! As for fruits, pears, apples, tangerines, pomegranates, kiwis, persimmons, grapes, hawthorns—let's have a fruit carnival party!"

"So how do we set the price?" Dali, who was in charge of stocking the goods, asked.

"Here's the important part! We're having a super-generous discount event for these fruits and vegetables. As for the specific discounts, we'll keep it a secret for now, just to whet everyone's appetite. The other fruits and vegetables will be sold at the normal price. The main selling point is that they offer discounts and unique features, but no discounts mean high quality." Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows, looking mysterious.

At this moment, the usually composed Old Zhang spoke up: "Liu Xuan, your plan sounds good, but there are many things to consider when implementing it. For example, inventory, and what if customers only come for the discounts, and other fruits and vegetables don't sell?"

Liu Xuan waved his hand dismissively: "Old Zhang, you're just being overly anxious. Let's get the event going first. Things will work out in the end. If we don't have enough stock, we'll just expedit the restocking. Isn't that simple?"

Without further ado, Liu Xuan began assigning tasks to his colleagues. "Xiaoyan, you design some super cute promotional posters, making the discounted fruits and vegetables look huge and mouthwatering. Dali, you and I rearrange the shelves, putting the discounted fruits and vegetables in the most prominent positions, like giving them a stage to debut in the spotlight."

Although everyone was skeptical of Liu Xuan's plan, they were inspired by his enthusiasm and took action.

Liu Xuan hummed a little tune as he arranged the pumpkins into various strange shapes. "Look, doesn't this pumpkin look like a philosopher contemplating life?" he said proudly to Dali.

Dali rolled her eyes at him: "He looks like a monster that's been beaten flat."

“Your aesthetic sense is practically that of an ‘abstract art master.’ You don’t understand my art,” Liu Xuan retorted with a smile.

Just as they were busy arranging the shelves, the first customer came in. It was an elderly woman who slowly walked into the store, looking at the newly renovated shelves with a bit of surprise.

"Grandma, welcome to our Autumn Fruit and Vegetable Paradise!" Liu Xuan greeted her warmly.

"Young man, why does your shop look different?" the old lady asked.

"Grandma, we're having a special autumn event, and these fruits and vegetables are on sale!" Liu Xuan said, pointing to the discounted fruits and vegetables.

"Oh? Then give me a few sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are so sweet to eat in autumn," the old lady said with a smile.

Liu Xuan happily weighed out sweet potatoes for the old lady and even gave her a small pomegranate as an extra gift. "Grandma, this pomegranate is a gift from us. We hope you enjoy it and live a long and healthy life!"

The old lady left satisfied, carrying the sweet potatoes and pomegranates.

Liu Xuan excitedly told his colleagues, "See that? That's the power of the event! Even the grandma is attracted. We're not far from a big sale!"

However, things didn't go as smoothly as Liu Xuan had imagined. As time went on, although there were more customers coming to the store than usual, most of them were there for the discounted fruits and vegetables, and the sales of other fruits and vegetables did not increase significantly.

Old Zhang frowned and said to Liu Xuan, "Liu Xuan, I told you, this can't go on. We need to find a way to balance things out."

Liu Xuan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I've got it! We'll launch an 'Autumn Fruit and Vegetable Combo,' combining discounted fruits and vegetables with other fruits and vegetables at a bundled price. This will not only boost sales of other fruits and vegetables but also give customers more choices."

Colleagues all thought it was a good idea, so they got busy again, making promotional signs for the meal packages and rearranging the fruit and vegetable combinations.

This time, the results were immediate. Many customers were attracted by the novel package and made purchases.

A young mother brought her child to the store and said after seeing the set meal, "This set meal is great. It has nutritious vegetables and fruits that my child likes, so I don't have to put together a meal myself."

Liu Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, ma'am. This set meal is designed to make it convenient for families like yours, allowing everyone to easily enjoy the delicious flavors of autumn."

As the event progressed, the atmosphere in the store became increasingly lively. Liu Xuan was also extremely busy, but his face was always beaming with a smile.

"Liu Xuan, your plan had some initial setbacks, but it seems to be quite successful now," Xiaoyan said to him.

"Of course, who am I? I'm Liu Xuan, the one with endless creativity! But this is also thanks to everyone's hard work; it's a victory for our team!" Liu Xuan said proudly.

As evening approached, the number of customers in the store gradually decreased. Liu Xuan and his colleagues sat together, looking at the results of their busy day.

"Although I'm tired today, I'm really happy," Dali said.

"Yes, it's been a long time since we've had such a lively atmosphere," Old Zhang chimed in.

Looking at everyone, Liu Xuan said earnestly, "Friends, this autumn fruit and vegetable program is just the beginning. In the future, we will launch more fun activities and make our fruit and vegetable store the most popular fruit and vegetable paradise in the city!"

Colleagues nodded in agreement, their faces filled with anticipation for the future. In the afterglow of the setting sun, a warm and hopeful atmosphere permeated the fruit and vegetable store, as if telling a beautiful story about autumn, fruits and vegetables, and the team's dreams.
