Chapter 275: Goal Achieved

Li Tong didn't bother to argue with him and asked the truck driver to help move the goods.

Chu Zhi was so anxious that he walked back and forth with his crutches around his abalone and sea cucumbers.

It was much colder at the dock than at home, and Chu Zhi felt like he was frozen to the bone.

Even if he was frozen to death, he had to defend his goods.

After the truck hired by Li Tong left, three more trucks arrived, all of which were booked in advance.

At around 6:30 in the afternoon, Mu Chenze returned to the village and went to the dock to inquire about the docking time of the ocean-going fishing boats.

Chu Zhi was found with his head drooping, drowsily guarding many buckets of abalone and sea cucumbers.

As soon as Chu Zhi saw Mu Chenze, he immediately gained strength, "Mu Chenze, you're back! That's great! Where's the truck you hired? Where did you park it?"

I scanned the entire dock but couldn't see any trace of the truck.

My heart skipped a beat.

Mu Chenze met Li Tong on his way back from the city.

Li Tong casually mentioned a few things about Chu Zhi.

Mu Chenze had some idea in mind and told Lin Yong a few things in advance. Lin Yong said he would do it.

"Are you talking about Lin Yong? He went home to eat. He agreed to come back tomorrow to help me with the goods. What can I do for you?"

Deliberately pretending not to know about Chu Zhi's affairs.

Chu Zhi said pitifully, "Could you please call Lin Yong and ask him to drive over to pick up my goods? I want to go to the city to sell these abalone and sea cucumbers."

Mu Chenze spread his hands and said, "I can give you his contact information, but I won't help you call."

"Why?"

"How dare you ask why? What have you done to Xiaoxuan and me? Don't you have any idea? It's good enough that you can give me the contact information!"

"I know what I did before was wrong! I will definitely change it next time. Please help me call a taxi! My loss is not a big deal, I accept it, but think about it, we fishermen, who would be willing to see such high-quality seafood spoil? It's a blasphemy to the sea!"

Mu Chenze snorted coldly, "Don't try to pressure me with that! I've already done my best by leaving you my contact information."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Mu Chenze, Chu Zhi had to settle for the next best thing, "Okay then! Could you please tell me your contact information?"

Mu Chenze said the phone number and Chu Zhi tried hard to remember it in his mind.

After a while, Mu Chenze found out the docking time of the next ocean-going fishing boat and left the dock.

On the way home, I met Feng Shuai.

"Feng Shuai, what are you going to do?"

Feng Shuai scratched his head. "I heard Chu Zhi bought two thousand yuan worth of high-end fish at the dock, but couldn't hire a truck. He was left in the cold wind for most of the day. I planned to go and rescue him."

Mu Chenze gave him a thumbs up, "This will pass soon, just in time! Chu Zhi is on the verge of collapse, and seeing you is closer than seeing his own mother."

Feng Shuai chuckled, "I thought so too. Let's go."

Walk towards the pier.

In fact, Feng Shuai already knew what Chu Zhi was doing today and deliberately did not go to the dock.

After Mu Chenze returned home, he told Chu Xuan about Chu Zhi's miserable condition at the dock, and Chu Xuan couldn't stop laughing.

Chu Zhi deserves it!

At this moment, Feng Shuai has arrived at the dock.

As soon as Chu Zhi saw Feng Shuai, he walked over on crutches, hugged him and sobbed, "I'm finally seeing my family! I had such a hard time today! Please help me find a truck, and I'll have to trouble you to go to the city with me to sell the goods. I'll give you half of the profits."

Feng Shuai patted his back to comfort him. "Don't cry, or your face will be cut. You said you were coming to the dock, but you didn't even bother to tell me in advance. If I hadn't seen you weren't home and hadn't been looking for you everywhere, would you have stayed here all night?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that no one helps me to inform you. As soon as I leave here, these abalone and sea cucumbers will be stolen. I can only guard them."

"No one's helping you report the news? You don't know how to pay someone to run errands?"

"We've paid, but no one's doing the legwork. Forget about that for now, find a car! Find a car quickly! Otherwise, all these abalone and sea cucumbers will be gone."

"Okay, I'll go find a car."

Feng Shuai’s purpose of being a savior has been achieved, and he doesn’t care how much money he can make from this batch of abalone and sea cucumbers.

Because he knew that even if he really made money, Chu Zhi would not really give him half of it.

Know Chu Zhi too well.

He actually hoped that Chu Zhi could make money on this trip, and if he made money, he would go gambling.

By then, Chu Zhi will lose all his money.

Half an hour later, Feng Shuai found a truck.

It was Lin Yong’s car.

Feng Shuai works in a village-run factory, and Lin Yong often transports goods for the factory, so they are quite familiar with each other.

Lin Yong has already received the news that the ocean-going fishing boat will not dock until tomorrow morning, so making this trip tonight will not delay Mu Chenze's business.

After about ten minutes, all of Chu Zhi's goods were moved into the truck compartment.

Feng Shuai sat in the passenger seat, Chu Zhi sat in the back seat, and then lay down.

"I'm almost dead tired! Lie down for a while, and you two can call me when we get to the city."

Lin Yong got into the driver's seat and said politely, "Please prepay 50% of the fare. Fifty yuan."

Chu Zhi stood up and asked, "What did you say? Fifty percent is fifty yuan? Does that mean a trip to the city costs a hundred yuan? Wasn't it fifty yuan to go to the city before?"

Lin Yong patiently explained, "This isn't just my price; it's the same for all truck drivers. If you don't think it's suitable, I can help you unload the truck and move it back to the dock. But you have to pay for it."

Chu Zhi cursed in his heart. He missed Lin Yong’s truck and didn’t know when he would find another one.

"One hundred dollars is one hundred dollars!"

I searched my pockets and found that I didn't have a hundred yuan, not even fifty yuan.

There are only about ten dollars left.

Chu Zhi cast a pleading look at Feng Shuai, "Can you give me fifty yuan first? I'll pay you back after the goods are sold, and I'll also give you the profit share."

Feng Shuai smiled and said, "No problem! I'll pay for it. You said you'd give me a share of the profits, so I'll pay for the fare!"

He directly took out ten ten-dollar bills and put them in Lin Yong's hand.

Only then did Lin Yong drive away with peace of mind.

If Feng Shuai hadn't invited him, he really wouldn't have dared to come.

After all, Chu Zhi has a good reputation.

Chu Zhi lay down again.

After a while, he started snoring.

Lin Yong and Feng Shuai chatted in a low voice.

"Manager Feng, where exactly in the city is this freight truck headed?"

Feng Shuai looked embarrassed, "Chu Zhi didn't say anything."

"Isn't he stupid enough to ship it to the city before he even found a buyer?"

"Very likely."

"In this case, I can only rent a stall in the city's farmers' market and sell my goods slowly."

At this moment, Chu Zhi said in a daze, "Then let's go to the farmers' market."

Lin Yong and Feng Shuai looked at each other and knew without asking that Chu Zhi had not contacted the buyer in advance.

Feng Shuai changed the subject, "Brother Lin, have you been going to the village factory to pick up goods these days?"

Lin Yong didn't hide it. "Director Wang said that Chen Ze should use the car first. When Chen Ze no longer goes to the city, I will go to the village factory to pick up and deliver goods."

"Our factory director is really open-minded."

"Yes."

After more than two hours, we arrived at the city’s farmers’ market.

For Feng Shuai's sake, Lin Yong helped unload the goods and informed him where to pay for the rental stall.

After paying the rent, Chu Zhi went to the market to set up a stall.

Lin Yong did not leave immediately because he had been instructed by Mu Chenze in advance to buy some goods from the market.

The money for purchasing the goods also came from Mu Chenze. Lin Yong only needed to pay for manpower and fuel. After taking the goods back and selling them, the profit was still 50-50.

The goods that arrived yesterday have been sold out.

Mu Chenze made a list of the goods to be purchased today in advance, and Lin Yong just had to buy them according to the list.

At this moment, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze were pounding cooked meat in her mother's yard.

Mu Chenze took out a wad of money from his pocket and said, "Xiao Xuan, this is what I earned for us these two days. Count it."
