Chapter 86 There's Something Fishy

A noisy sound of footsteps came from the main road and turned straight into the dock.

Shen Sisi raised her head and saw a large group of people, about thirty or forty strong men, rushing towards them with tools such as carrying poles and wooden sticks in their hands.

The leader was none other than Cao Hua.

Cao Hua was wearing a shiny leather jacket, his hair was styled with MOS, and he was wearing flared pants that made his legs look longer. He walked in front of Shen Sisi with a breeze.

"I want to see who dares to touch my people, Cao Hua." Cao Hua walked to Shen Sisi arrogantly and gave her a reassuring look.

"Don't be afraid. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

Shen Sisi was not too scared, but still very moved, and nodded at him: "Brother Hua, you are like timely rain."

Cao Hua raised his voice: "Of course..."

He had been waiting for Shen Sisi to deliver the goods, but she never showed up, so he sent Dong Xiaojiang to check along the way. As a result, he saw Shen Sisi being bullied at other docks.

Dong Xiaojiang was very smart and did not alert the enemy. Instead, he ran towards Cao Hua.

What would Cao Hua do when he heard this?

He immediately called on his brothers on the dock to pick up their working tools and go with him to rescue the people. They surrounded the place aggressively and made it impossible to get in or out.

Seeing this scene, Yang Rong was so frightened that his calves were shaking.

No wonder this little girl dared to break into the dock alone, it turns out there is someone behind her.

It’s still Cao Hua!

Although Cao Hua is not the bully of the dock, he is also a well-known figure and no one dares to provoke him.

Seeing how Cao Hua was protecting the little girl, Yang Rong calmed down and gave a flattering smile.

"It turns out to be Brother Hua. It's really like a flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other..." Yang Rong gave him cigarettes, but Cao Hua didn't even look at him and didn't give him any face at all.

Yang Rong's heart skipped a beat, and then he finally calmed down. "I'm sorry, we didn't know this was your man. It was a misunderstanding. Please forgive me."

Cao Hua snorted coldly, "Now I know I misunderstood. I just heard you say that there was something wrong with my sister's medicinal oil. You are a century-old shop, and you are wrongly accusing others without any evidence. Do you have any shame?"

The brothers on the surrounding docks were all holding sticks and shouting together.

"Shame on you! Shame on you!"

Yang Rong also knew that he had gone too far, but Shen Sisi's business had already affected the medicinal oils of their families.

As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.

Shen Sisi's sudden appearance seriously affected the sales of their medicinal oil.

Of course, this cannot be said openly.

Seeing the outrage, Yang Rong swallowed hard and stepped forward, saying, "Brother Hua, we're all trying to make a living, so you have to give us a way out, right?"

"All the orders for medicinal oil this spring have gone to the Golden Phoenix brand. Our sales have been practically shattered. How can we survive?"

Shen Sisi was confused. How could she not know about the spring medicinal oil order?

And this is exactly the happy news that Cao Hua wants to tell Shen Sisi.

Just the day before yesterday, a buyer who specializes in medicinal oil business in Russia came to Cao Hua and ordered 80% of the medicinal oil batch from the beginning of this spring to be sold as Jinfeng brand medicinal oil.

The boss heard from somewhere that the Golden Phoenix brand medicinal oil was good, so he came to us on his own initiative.

When Cao Hua heard this, he almost laughed to death.

But Shen Sisi felt that there was something strange about this matter.

First of all, none of them recommended Golden Phoenix brand medicated oil to the buyer.

Secondly, this person ordered too much medicinal oil at one time, accounting for 80% of the orders placed at the beginning of spring, which must be tens of thousands of bottles.

You have to know that her business has just started, and she hasn't expanded the promotion yet, and even the brand hasn't been registered. The sponsor who took the initiative to find her must trust her too much!

She thought for a while and asked Cao Hua, "Brother Hua, do you know that person?"

"I've seen him a few times before. He's indeed a cargo ship sailing in the Russian area, but I've never dealt with him."

Shen Sisi asked again: "Can you take me to see him?"

Cao Hua said, "I'm afraid not. He mentioned it to me when we met for tea. He had to go to the county to collect some mountain products. It would probably take several days for him to come back."

In a few days...will it take that long?

Shen Sisi still felt uneasy, and suddenly saw rows of cargo ships around her. She had an idea: "Brother Hua, can you take me to see his cargo ship?"

This man can run away, but the cargo ship can't.

Cao Hua didn't know what Shen Sisi was up to. Seeing her look of disbelief, he just thought that she was being cautious!

He turned his head and took a look. Coincidentally, the merchant's ship was docked near the dock. It was a medium-sized cargo ship with its name and number printed on it.

Shen Sisi didn't understand all this. She just saw the large canvas on the boat and the few boatmen leaning on the bow smoking.

If she remembered correctly, the ocean current in winter was from north to south. This time they were going north to the Russian area, which was considered upstream, and the wind direction was also very inconsistent. How could they have such a large sail and so few workers?

Besides, in this season, the further north you go, the colder the sea water will be. The sea may be frozen when you reach the Russian area. If it is really a cargo ship, it should not go north by water at this time. If it wants to go, it may have to prepare an icebreaker.

She thought about it and felt that there must be something fishy going on, as if her sixth sense was constantly reminding her that there was something strange about all of this.

So she said to Cao Hua, "Brother Hua, I think this ship is suspicious. Considering the season, ocean currents, and wind conditions, a normal cargo ship wouldn't schedule its itinerary this way. And with so few workers, the journey north is no easy task."

When Cao Hua heard this, he turned his head and looked at the ship carefully, and immediately frowned.

He had been hanging around this dock for a long time, but he hadn't paid much attention to the anomaly of this ship before.

"There's something strange indeed." Cao Hua said, "You're more careful."

Shen Sisi bit her lip and suddenly thought of what happened to Wu Xiaofang and her colleagues at the glass factory. Suddenly, they received a huge order, and then they rushed into the assembly line, but ended up drying up their own working capital.

She felt that this matter was exactly the same as what happened at the glass factory.

So she quietly asked Cao Hua, "Brother Hua, has that person paid the deposit?"

Cao Hua shook his head: "Not yet, but I told him your rules, and he told you to start production first, and when he comes back from the county, he will give you the deposit. He left in a hurry this time, so you must deliver on time."

He has been working at the docks for many years, and no one has dared to cheat him without fear of death.

But Shen Sisi's words made him alert that there might really be something wrong with this financial backer.

"So what do you think?" Cao Hua asked, absolutely following Shen Sisi's opinion.

Without thinking, he said without hesitation: "We can't take this order!"

Then, she glanced at Yang Rong, who was not far away: "As for the others...if they want to get involved in this mess, then let them do it!"

Cao Hua understood immediately, so he said to Shen Sisi, "Okay, then leave the rest to me!"

A ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he walked to Yang Rong and hooked his hand around his shoulder.

"Shopkeeper Yang, don't you just feel that my sister has taken away your business?"

"We're all in this together. If you respect me, I'll respect you back. Harmony brings wealth!"

"How about this, we'll turn down that deal as a token of our sincerity. From now on, you're not allowed to embarrass my sister anymore. What do you think?"

He patted Yang Rong's shoulders twice, and the young man immediately smiled and said, "Such a large order, you really don't want it?"

Cao Hua hummed, "No, I, Cao Hua, am a man of my word."

Yang Rong's lips trembled with excitement: "Then it's a deal!"
