At 2 p.m., Xia Qingqing arrived at the place she had agreed to meet with Xiao Hui.

She deliberately arrived an hour early to drop off her things, just in case Xiao Hui arrived early too, and then she wouldn't be able to take the items out of the system warehouse.

After taking the items out, Xia Qingqing stomped her feet in a cold rage.

The temperature is still very low, especially with the cold wind blowing in gusts, making people shiver.

Looking at the bundles of military overcoats, Xia Qingqing simply piled them up to make a temporary shelter, and sat inside eating sunflower seeds.

When Xiao Hui arrived, he saw Xia Qingqing looking so relaxed and teased her with a smile, "I say, Boss Xia, you really know how to enjoy yourself."

Xia Qingqing glanced at her watch and realized it was only 2:30. She laughed and said, "It's just too cold. You guys arrived quite early."

After she got up, she handed the half-eaten sunflower seeds in her hand to Xiao Hui: "Here, Brother Hui, have some sunflower seeds. Don't be shy with me."

"Thank you so much," Xiao Hui said, looking at the dozen or so sunflower seeds in his hand, before helplessly stuffing them into the pocket of his military overcoat.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Just ask if you want some more, I have more here," Xia Qingqing patted her handbag.

"No need, you can keep it for yourself. I was saying I'd come early to help unload the goods, but I didn't expect you to arrive ahead of time," Xiao Hui said, looking at the several large packages piled on the ground.

"You just arrived, didn't you see I haven't even cracked a few sunflower seeds yet? Don't just stand there, hurry up and move your things, it won't be good if someone comes later," Xia Qingqing pointed to the packages on the ground, signaling Xiao Hui and his men to quickly move them onto the tricycle.

Xiao Hui and his group arrived on two tricycles, just in time to load the packages on the ground. The back of the tricycles was so full that there was no room for anyone else to sit in them.

So, apart from the two who rode bicycles, the rest of the brothers that Xiao Hui brought had to walk back.

Xiao Hui handed Xia Qingqing the 4,000 yuan he had prepared beforehand: "This is the payment for the goods, Ms. Xia, please count it?"

"Oh, no need. What kind of relationship do we have? You haven't even checked the goods yet," Xia Qingqing said with a smile, putting the money directly into her handbag.

The two had already collaborated many times, so Xiao Hui didn't open the package to check the number of military coats, and of course she couldn't count the money either; trust is mutual.

"Okay, let's talk again next time we meet. I have to go back now, it's too cold outside," Xia Qingqing breathed on her palms and rubbed them together.

Xiao Hui was also in a hurry to transport everything back: "Okay, remember to look me up next time you come to the county. I'll treat you to a meal at the state-run restaurant."

Xia Qingqing nodded in agreement: "No problem, I'll come again after the New Year. I don't want to go out in this cold weather."

After watching Xia Qingqing ride her bicycle away into the distance, Xiao Hui called his brothers back.

Both tricycles were covered with a tattered quilt, and unless someone deliberately lifted it, no one would know what was inside.

In addition, the weather was cold and there were few people on the road, so the group returned to Xiao Hui's courtyard without any problems.

After carrying all the packages into the house, the group was finally able to sit down and rest.

After sitting down, the fat man gulped down a glass of ice-cold water and immediately shivered: "Brother Hui, how can such a young girl be so amazing?"

This is quite a large-scale project; they just brought over 100 military overcoats without any further ado.

"You bet she is. I wonder how much she'll earn from this deal. She must have made at least several hundred. Tsk tsk," Yu Dong said with a hint of envy. Who wouldn't be envious if they saw this?

With just a simple resale, you can earn more money than most people can in a year.

Hearing his underlings' words, Xiao Hui scoffed: "Don't you even know who he is? He's the top scorer in our province's college entrance examination. Only one person like him comes out in the entire Southern Province every year. What do you have to compare with him?"

The group looked at each other, and no one objected.

At first, no one else knew about Xia Qingqing's deal with Xiao Hui. They were curious about where Xiao Hui got the goods. Later, as they became more familiar with each other, they also got to know several of Xiao Hui's close associates. However, Xiao Hui was still the person she was closest to.

A glint of anticipation flashed in the fat man's eyes: "Sigh, if my daughter could get into university someday, I'd be willing to die right now."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hui angrily kicked him: "What unlucky things are you saying? If you had a college student daughter, you could sit back and enjoy life. Why are you talking about dying?"

"Hehe, I was just saying that in a moment of inspiration. I still want to enjoy the good life with Brother Xiao."

"But speaking of which, Hui-ge, why haven't you found a wife yet? We're about the same age, and I already have a son and a daughter while you're still single."

After saying that, the fat man realized that something was wrong with what he said. It sounded a bit like he was showing off. He honestly said that he was just concerned about Brother Hui.

Hei Zi nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. My baby with Cui Cui is about to be born. Brother Hui, you're 30 years old and you don't even have a wife."

This guy was clearly even less eloquent; wasn't this just stabbing Xiao Hui in the heart? Everyone started snickering, waiting for Hei Zi to get a lesson from the boss.

As expected, Xiao Hui glared at Hei Zi and said, "Can't you speak properly? If you can't speak properly, then shut up. So what if I'm 30? This is a man's prime, and I'm not going to just settle for any woman."

Hei Zi scratched his head and gave Xiao Hui a fawning smile: "Hehe, I misspoke. I was just concerned about you. Our Brother Hui is good-looking and rich. Those women are not good enough for you."

"You're smart enough to know what's good for you," Xiao Hui's expression softened, but he still felt a little uneasy.

It's not that he doesn't want to get married. He was focused on his career for the past few years and didn't have the time or inclination. In recent years, he's been looking for someone but hasn't met the right person. Seeing his friends getting married and having children one by one, it would be a lie to say he's not envious at all. But he doesn't want to settle for someone he hasn't met.

In addition, the things he does are quite dangerous. If he marries a stupid woman, she would just be a burden to him.

In recent years, it's not that no one has tried to introduce Xiao Hui to potential partners, but the women they've introduced have become increasingly outrageous. At first, they were still unmarried women in their twenties, but now they're even trying to get widows to marry him. They really think he's a junk collector.

To outsiders, Xiao Hui's conditions were really not good. He didn't even have a formal job, he only had the status of a city dweller and a house. Although he was tall and big, his age was a factor, and seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls wouldn't be interested in him.

However, this is on the premise that no one knows the exact amount of Xiao Hui's savings. Otherwise, let alone seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, women who want to marry him would have to line up from the north to the south of the city.
