Su Jiani never expected she'd get another chance; it must be that even heaven couldn't bear to watch anymore! From a young age, she was overshadowed by her cousin. The moment her cousin was...
Chapter 81 Su Jiani moves, seizes the opportunity
Su Zhongguo’s method was correct, as it allowed him to find a solution in his daughter’s thoughts.
Yes, use the opponent’s force to your advantage.
Didn’t Brother Bai San say that Director Zhang will retire and Director Wang will take over?
I think Director Wang must have some thoughts in mind.
The next day, after Su Zhongguo and others distributed the workers' wages and New Year benefits, the three of them discussed the inspection in the office.
"I thought about it last night. This isn't a simple matter. Someone must be trying to mess with us. Third Brother Bai, do you have any connections with Leader Wang? Let's try his connections and see if we can resolve this matter before the New Year."
If the factory cannot be restored, the losses to them will be huge.
As for the goods in the warehouse, Baojun is afraid that he will not be able to have a peaceful New Year.
They would feel uneasy if they didn't sell these goods.
"Yes, but Director Wang has a very big appetite. If we fail to achieve the results they want, I'm afraid the consequences will be no better than offending the current person."
Bai Jingtang asked his connections about this last night.
What he didn't understand now was that they had no conflicts or interests with that person, so why should he make things difficult for them?
"Zhongguo, tell me the truth, do you have a conflict with Director Zhang?" Bai Jingtang felt that he had to ask clearly if there was anything.
Su Zhongguo naturally did not hide anything from him and told him about his family affairs.
After hearing this, Li Baojun was the first to get angry. "How shameless! Why are the Su family targeting you, my brother-in-law?"
This was what he couldn't understand the most. Logically speaking, the fact that the Su family could settle in Shenzhen proved that they had some wealth.
Even after all this, you still don't let your brother-in-law go. How big is the hatred?
After hearing this, Su Zhongguo just sighed. After all, the matter of luck was too magical, and they might not believe it even if he told them.
"Brother Bai San, this incident is my fault. If there is really no other way, the final losses of the factory will be owed to me." It was his fault, and he couldn't drag his brother to bear the consequences.
Bai Jingtang interrupted immediately upon hearing this, "What are you talking about? Brother, please don't say such things from now on. He's just a retired director, he can't do anything to us. At worst, we can go to Xiangcheng. I don't believe his hands are that long."
Humph, the country is currently undergoing major economic reforms, and he still doesn't believe that a small investment promotion director has so much power.
At worst, he could bypass the China Merchants Group and go directly to the Ministry of Commerce to seek justice. He still doesn't believe that there is no place where he can reason.
"Third brother, that guy has an unconventional background. He's more than just a director." Su Zhongguo told the two of them about the Zhang family with a constipated look on his face.
"It's my fault. If this doesn't work out, we can just break up. At worst, we can start over, or I can just give the factory to you and Baojun, and I'll quit."
We can't let their efforts go to waste just because of him.
"Brother-in-law."
"Zhongguo."
The two men disagreed with his words, "Brother-in-law, don't say that. I'm following you. If you quit, I won't do it either. The worst that can happen is that I'll go back to setting up a stall. I don't believe I'll starve to death if I go."
"That's right, it's not that serious yet. If I really can't win, I'll set up a stall with you guys."
Whether it's doing business or being a person, it all depends on fate. They have fate and can talk together, so what does it matter if they suffer a little bit.
These days, if you can’t fill your stomach by doing something, just spend more money or less money.
Seeing the two of them like this, Su Zhongguo would be lying if he said he wasn't moved. He looked at them with gratitude.
"I'm relieved by your words, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way to solve this matter. If it doesn't work, we can follow Third Brother to Xiangcheng. No matter how powerful they are, they can't control Xiangcheng."
Since the atmosphere has become like this, he can't be timid.
Next, they split into three groups. Li Baojun went to find the previous supplier and sent out all the goods in the warehouse.
He planned to start with his daughter and find some evidence against Director Zhang, and then give it to Bai Jingtang as a token of his allegiance. If that didn't work, he would move to another place.
There is always a way to protect yourself.
The factory was closed and Li's father, the security guard, went home to rest. A few young guards were left in the factory to watch over the goods to prevent outsiders from entering and damaging the finished products.
Su Jiani was a little surprised to see her father at home, and even more surprised when she heard what he said.
Unexpectedly, her father had the same idea as her.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go and see what kind of god he is."
Su Jiayi was so happy when she learned from Mr. Zhang that her uncle's factory had been shut down.
I hurriedly asked if there was any movement in the system's luck.
Unfortunately, the system told her that the fortune of Su Zhongguo's family had not been destroyed, so she had to wait a little longer.
Although she was a little reluctant, it was only a matter of a few days, so she could afford to wait and immediately gave her godfather, Mr. Zhang, colorful clothes to entertain her family.
"Grandpa, you're the best. Jiayi thinks you're very lucky today. Do you want to go out for a walk?"
It was because Mr. Zhang was impressed by Su Jiayi's ability that he adopted her as his godchild.
That's right, under the arrangement of the system, Su Jiayi and Mr. Zhang became godparents. Of course, it was only her, and Su Zhongfu, their father, was not taken seriously.
However, within his ability, Mr. Zhang still made things convenient for Su Zhongfu.
Knowing that he was reselling goods outside Shenzhen, he kindly gave him some pointers.
Su Zhongfu then pulled Bai Jingzong together to set up a trading company.
It specializes in collecting goods from Shenzhen and selling them inland.
There is everything. Mr. Zhang gave a lot of benefits in terms of goods, so all kinds of precious materials can be obtained.
Not much, but enough for them to resell.
Naturally, Mr. Zhang doesn't do charity. He just works hard without taking any benefits.
Sixty percent of the company is owned by Mr. Zhang, while Su Zhongfu and Bai Jingzong each own only 20%. Despite this, the two of them work very hard.
Naturally, the profit is not low. After all, the prices of the goods given by Mr. Zhang are very low.
"Oh." Old Zhang smiled. He was old, so naturally he had things he was thinking about, but he had searched for a long time and didn't find many good things.
Last time he heard that a magical object like thousand-year-old ginseng appeared in the world, and now that he was about to return to Beijing for the New Year, he intended to get one and take it back to do a favor so that he could bring his family to Beijing. After all, that was the Zhang family's base.
He also didn't want to leave the main family. With the help of the main family, his descendants would be able to reach a higher level.
"Hearing what you said, grandpa's wish will come true today. If it really comes true, grandpa will give you a big red envelope." Old Zhang took Su Jiayi out very happily.
Su Jiayi had no idea that her new grandfather was coveting the legendary thousand-year-old ginseng.
Let’s not talk about whether such a good thing is real or fake. If it really exists, how can people sell it? It’s like a second life.
As long as you are not stupid, you will definitely not reveal the information, and you will not even have time to hide it.
The system could see through Mr. Zhang's thoughts, but it didn't take it seriously as it was just a thousand-year-old ginseng. As long as he was willing to give it up, it didn't mind fulfilling his wish.
Yes, it has quite a lot of storage, including thousand-year-old ginseng.
Moreover, it was it that released the news about that thing, and it wanted to achieve the current effect.
Once Su Jiayi's reputation as the lucky star spreads throughout Shenzhen, there will be more people who can absorb her luck.
However, it cannot take the luck of Su Jiayi's blood relatives, so it cannot escape the control of Su Jiayi, the host.
It has a secret that no one knows, that is, it can absorb the luck of others through the host, and the host or the host's blood relatives can use the luck to suppress it.
This is the main reason why it has always been at odds with the Su family.
Fortunately, no one knew about this, otherwise, Su Jiayi would not be its helper, but its nemesis.
Just as Mr. Zhang and Su Jiayi were strolling outside, they unknowingly arrived at the medicinal materials trading market.
There is a special area in the medicinal materials trading market, that is, the medicinal materials black market.
What is sold here are some high-quality medicinal materials that are not allowed to be seen in public or are sold in a hurry.
If you have money, you can buy the good medicine you want, but good medicinal materials are not available everywhere. If you want good ones, you have to rely on luck.
Mr. Zhang was lucky today. As soon as he arrived, he met an old farmer selling Polygonum multiflorum, which was 500 years old. However, the old farmer did not know the value of it and sold it as a 50-year-old one.
At Mr. Zhang's age, he naturally has a certain level of vision. Although he didn't recognize that it was five hundred years old, he guessed that it was a good thing that was hundreds of years old.
Su Jiayi was so happy when the system reminded her that this was a 500-year-old piece of jewelry that she insisted on asking Mr. Zhang to buy it.
Mr. Zhang originally wanted to buy it, but he didn't feel it was necessary.
But after Su Jiayi said that, he immediately became serious. He also knew that this was outside, so he didn't dare to say it too clearly and just bought it from the old farmer.
As soon as they finished the transaction, several old men came running over.
As soon as he saw the people inside, Mr. Zhang's heart became a little excited.
The Bai family.
The Bai family is also one of the four major families in the capital, and they follow the path of medicine.
Although they have suffered some persecution over the years, they are needed in many places, so they are only shown support on the surface, while their real foundation is protected by the higher-ups.
The Four Great Masters are called the Four Great Masters, but they are also ranked.
The Zhang family is just the last of the four major families.
It can't be compared with the Bai family.
Even the head of the Zhang family had to greet the elder of the Bai family respectfully when he saw him.
This shows how high and special this person's status is.
"Old man, is the medicinal herb you just picked still there?" Old Bai asked the old farmer as soon as he came over.
The old farmer counted the two hundred yuan in his hand, his face full of excitement. He looked at the Zhang Lao and his partner standing not far away, smiled and said, "Sorry, I sold it."
After saying that, he pointed at Mr. Zhang and Su Jiayi and said, "They bought it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." He had to take so much money home, but he didn't want anything to go wrong on the way.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Bai immediately looked in the direction the old farmer pointed and saw a pair of an old man and a young boy.
He walked quickly towards the two of them, "Could you please let me see the herbs that old farmer just gave me?"
Afraid they would overthink it, he added, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal yours. I just want to confirm one thing."
He had just passed by here and was the first to notice that there was something wrong with the medicinal herbs in the old farmer's hand, but he couldn't make up his mind and always felt that something was wrong.
Look, the younger one said he had something to do, so he left.
After he left, he kept thinking about this matter. As soon as he finished the work at hand, he ran back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, but a five-hundred-year-old one.
If you miss out on a hundred-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, you miss out. After all, the medicinal effects are there, and there are still alternative herbs. But it’s different for a five-hundred-year-old one.
Polygonum multiflorum can treat liver and kidney yin deficiency, premature graying of hair, dry intestines and constipation, and is especially effective for chronic constipation in the elderly and weak people.
He was also an older man, so he naturally knew the benefits of this thing. Unexpectedly, he missed it without paying attention.
Now, he just wanted to know whether this Polygonum multiflorum was 500 years old. If it was, he would get it no matter what the cost.
His family has a secret recipe that uses high-quality Polygonum multiflorum to make Qihuan Pills.
This pill has a rejuvenating effect on those suffering from liver and kidney failure.
Su Jiayi was young, so naturally she had no right to speak. However, when she heard the system say that he had great luck and good fortune, she wanted to absorb it.
So she spoke before Mr. Zhang: "Grandpa, you are not sick, why are you trying to snatch things from my grandfather? This medicine is also available over there, you can't snatch it from my grandfather." She stood in front of Mr. Zhang with a protective look on her face.
Her hand was pointing further into the road, although I didn't know where she was pointing.
But Old Bai had no intention of talking nonsense with a little baby like her. He just wanted to take a look to see if it was a 500-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
Old Zhang felt warm-hearted and felt even more fond of his god-granddaughter Su Jiayi. After all, who doesn't like someone who protects them everywhere?
"Jiayi, don't be unreasonable. He's just looking at it, not stealing it from grandpa."
As he spoke, Mr. Zhang pulled Jiayi behind him and asked the people following him to pick her up.
After arranging the baby, Mr. Zhang handed the things to Mr. Bai, "It is my honor for you to take a look at it. The young man of the Zhang family meets the old man of the Bai family."
Mr. Zhang bowed respectfully to Mr. Bai.
When Old Bai heard what he said, his eyes lit up. Zhang family, if it was a boy from the Zhang family, then he had a 30% chance of getting the medicine.
"So it's from the Zhang family. Okay, okay, let me see. If it's really what I want, your old man can use it." Old Bai smiled and took the herbs from Old Zhang's hand.
Looking at it wrapped in coarse cloth, his face was full of heartache.
After checking again, Old Bai sighed, "It's just bad luck for me that such a good quality item slipped away from me." As he said that, he returned the herbs to the young man from the Zhang family in front of him.
"But you should keep it well. You can bring it to your Zhang family next time when they make medicine. Your old man can take it just right. I believe he can still live for a few more years."
Mr. Zhang never expected such a pleasant surprise.
He originally came here to look for thousand-year-old ginseng, but unexpectedly he found a medicinal herb that the Bai family said their grandfather could use. It was truly a pleasant surprise.
With this thing, he can return to the capital after retirement.
If I work hard at that time, my descendants will be able to find a good job in the capital.
"Of course, I will bring it to your house as a gift when I pay New Year's greetings."
The current head of the Zhang family is Mr. Zhang’s cousin, who is considered his uncle within the third degree of kinship, and the old man is his grandfather’s brother.
Mr. Bai is a shrewd man and he knows that this man is not from the Zhang family.
He smiled and said, "Okay, when the herbs arrive, have your old man contact me, and I will make the medicine for him myself."
Su Jiayi and the system were both concerned about the luck of Old Bai, so she couldn't help but speak again.
"Grandpa, if you like this herb so much, why don't you go buy it? It's sold over there."
However, Mr. Bai, who knew the inside story, didn't take her words to heart and just thought they were just the nonsense of a baby.
In a place that Su Jiayi didn't notice, Su Jiani and her father had been standing here for a long time, and naturally saw everything that happened just now.
[I didn't expect her system to be so capable, it even helped her find treasure.]
[Ah, I'm envious. No, she can't use good things as favors. She has to take the initiative.]
The five hundred year old medicinal herbs just now glowed red in her eyes, proving that they were treasures.
There are treasures emitting red light in many places in this alley.
"Dad, let's go buy some treasures."
With her third eye open, she had no intention of leaving this opportunity to Su Jiayi to win people's hearts.
"Go ahead."
Su Zhongguo had also witnessed his daughter's unusual ability.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
The two cheaters started to compete in speed, but unfortunately, Su Jiayi was always one step behind Su Jiani.
Just as she arrived at a stall, Su Jiayi described the treasure that the system told her, but unexpectedly, the item was actually bought by someone.
Old Bai also asked the boss in detail about the appearance and details of the medicinal materials and was shocked.
"This girl?" Old Bai looked at the younger generation of the Zhang family with a questioning look on his face.
Mr. Zhang shook his head and stopped talking about this topic. He didn't plan to talk about it on the way.
