"His shop opened in the last two years, but it mainly sells work safety supplies."

Meng Ran nodded.

Labor protection equipment is more practical than military supplies.

Putting aside everything else, just those work gloves used on construction sites—if a construction site wants to buy them, they'll buy hundreds of pairs at a time, so they can still make a little money.

As soon as you push open the door and enter the store, you are greeted by various combat uniforms hanging from the ceiling, and a number of boots are placed on the floor on both sides.

The stench of rubber filled the room and hit me right in the head.

However, Xu Qingyi and Meng Ran didn't care about any of that.

Meng Ran looked around, examining the shop in front of her. When she saw the combat uniforms, her eyes lit up.

"Xiao Xu, this place is great."

"The goods are pretty good."

“These boots…”

Meng Ran picked up a black leather boot and showed it to Xu Qingyi.

Xu Qingyi was also a little curious about what was so special about this thing, until Meng Ran gently tapped the toe of the shoe with his finger, and a series of muffled sounds came from it.

Xu Qingyi's eyes widened, and she lowered her voice.

"Steel?"

Meng Ran nodded, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This piqued Xu Qingyi's curiosity, and she quickly lowered her voice to ask.

"Brother Meng, how much does a pair of these cost?"

Meng Ran stroked his chin, his tone hesitant.

"This thing is definitely not genuine."

"I estimate that the ones I made myself would only be a little over a hundred."

"If it's genuine, it'll start at three hundred."

This startled Xu Qingyi. A pair of genuine shoes would cost over three hundred yuan, enough to burn through half a month's salary for a person.

Xu Qingyi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, pointed to the rows of shoes on the ground, and asked softly.

"Besides this thing, are there any other decent ones?"

Meng Ran glanced at it briefly, then patted Xu Qingyi's shoulder to comfort her.

"It's alright, we don't need something so nice."

"Just buy a decent one."

"The main thing is that the clothes are comfortable and convenient for running, then there's no problem."

"If you think it's okay, I think the old-fashioned Liberation Shoes are pretty good."

As she spoke, Meng Ran pointed to the rows of green military shoes on the counter.

This made Xu Qingyi shake her head repeatedly.

"Stop messing around!"

"I'm going to take these back with me, then you'll be satisfied."

"Brother Feng, won't you twist my head off?"

Meng Ran smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but after following Lin Yifeng for a few days, she found that Lin Yifeng was one of the few people who was genuinely willing to spend money on his subordinates.

Take Meng Ran for example. He had only been with Lin Yifeng for a few days when Lin Yifeng gave him a card with 10,000 yuan in it, telling him to just swipe it on whatever he needed to spend.

Meng Ran's monthly salary was deposited into this card on time, so she didn't need to worry too much.

As for how the company makes its internal selections, he doesn't want to have too many subjective opinions; he just wants to follow along and offer suggestions.

A short while later, a slightly overweight middle-aged man came out from behind the house.

"Little Xu is here!"

"How did the discussion go back to? Did you find anyone you like?"

"If you have it, I'll get it from your warehouse."

Junjun glanced at the two people in front of him. He had just exchanged a few polite words with Xu Qingyi when his gaze suddenly locked onto Meng Ran.

Having also come from the military, he could tell at a glance that Meng Ran was definitely someone from the military, just like him.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xu Qingyi, Junjun took out a cigarette from his pocket and shared it with the two of them.

"Brother, you also retired? Where are you from?"

"Field combat."

Meng Ran's casual remark pleased the shop owner, Junjun.

We were both defending our country, and I never expected to meet someone from the same military background at this time.

"We're all brothers, it'll be easier to get things done."

"Just tell me what's on your mind."

"As for the price, I'll make less profit and just cover the shipping cost."

Junjun smiled and led the two of them deeper into the store.

When you get to the back, you'll find everything imaginable.

From entrenching tools and various camping equipment used by the military to various blast protection equipment, there were even two plastic shields in the corner.

Seeing all this, Meng Ran couldn't help but tease them.

"If someone robs you, the police station next door will be extremely worried."

Junjun also waved his hand with a smile.

"It's registered! It's registered! It's a legitimate store."

After some banter, Meng Ran actually found something good.

A portable combat belt, although it's an older model used in the military, it can hold a lot of things on your waist.

Meng Ran weighed these things in his hand, then turned to look at Junjun with a mischievous grin.

"Sister-in-law probably doesn't know these things, right?"

Junjun was stunned for a moment, not quite reacting.

When he came to his senses, he looked at Meng Ran with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"This is my only hobby, is it okay to do some business with it?"

The two exchanged a smile, while Xu Qingyi stood by, looking completely bewildered.

However, just as Junjun was taking the things that Xu Qingyi had ordered last time, Meng Ran thoughtfully explained it to him.

There are many people like Junjun in the military who share this hobby.

After being discharged from the military, I didn't know what to do, so I used the money to open a small shop and sell some military supplies that I liked.

When Meng Ran was preparing to retire, she had considered these things.

However, considering that whether this thing could be successfully completed was another matter, he stopped thinking about it.

Xu Qingyi nodded blankly.
