From a life of blissful idleness, "naively sweet" Su Le unexpectedly transmigrates to the arduous 1970s and becomes the little darling of her family. It should have been another life of lei...
Su Le thought that it was not a big deal to call the leader, so he called Jiang Liang directly. Old man Jiang Liang seemed to be in charge of this area.
"Jiang Liang, there's a disturbance. At the train station."
Before Jiang Liang could ask what was going on, he heard a beeping sound from the other side, and someone came over on a bicycle without stopping.
The person in charge thought there was some big shot behind her. Jiang Liang? He seemed to have heard of her. He didn't seem like a big shot, so he sneered. "You bitch! It's no use yelling at anyone! If you keep trying, I'll beat you up!"
Zhang Liang stood in front of Su Le, and the two guys also walked to Su Le's side, glaring at him angrily.
The manager was about to say something when he saw a bicycle stop by, brushing against the corner of his clothes.
"Hey! How are you riding a bike?" He walked up to Jiang Liang angrily and yelled at him.
Jiang Liang didn't even look at him and asked Su Le, "Is this the guy? What's going on?"
Su Le sneered, "He's state-owned and envious of our thriving business, so he won't let us sell here. We're not blocking the road, and we're not damaging the environment. Who the hell does he think he is?"
Jiang Liang looked at the man coldly, "What's your name?"
The manager looked at him, seemingly confused as to why they were so obsessed with their names. "My name is Wu Xing'an, so what if I tell you? Move out now."
Jiang Liang nodded and called his grandfather. "Grandpa! Isn't there a guy named Wu Xing'an in the Jingshi State-owned Enterprise? I'm reporting him for abusing his power, illegally evicting people, and threatening them with violence. Oh, and he's also deserting his post. I have a witness. Yes, it's Su Le. Xu Jiaojiaojiao."
Old Master Jiang slammed the table, summoned the state-owned enterprise manager, and launched into a tirade. The state-owned enterprise manager, in turn, furiously called the state-owned enterprise. A small head chef answered the phone and was lashed out at. The chef hung up and trotted over, finding the manager through the crowd.
The person in charge was watching him make the call at first, but after listening to what happened next, he started to break out in a cold sweat.
"Brother An, Brother An! Something big happened! The manager called and asked you to call him back right away. He's really angry."
The manager looked at them and thought to himself that something was wrong. He quickly ran back to the hotel, but as expected, he was scolded for over an hour and fired.
Zhang Liang and his companions continued to hawk their wares when they saw the show was over, but not many people bought, and the crowd that had originally been watching the show also dispersed.
Xu Jiaojiao didn't go forward because of Su Le's instructions, but stood at the back with peace of mind. She only walked over to Jiang Liang and Su Le after the matter was resolved.
He gave Jiang Liang a thumbs up. "Well done! I never thought that one day I would be able to rely on Young Master Jiang's connections."
Jiang Liang's tail suddenly turned up, "Of course not! I'm awesome! If anyone wants to cause trouble in the future, just come to me."
Su Le looked at the remaining 15 pounds, then at the crowd. "Alright, we probably can't sell any more. Give Jiang Liang 5 pounds to take back and let the workers taste it. They've all worked so hard. Jiang Liang, please give the remaining 10 pounds to the old man. I'll visit him in person someday."
Jiang Liang waved his hand. "Oh, there's no need to be so polite. We're all family. I haven't tasted lobster yet, I'll take some back to try. I'll bring this one to Grandpa, don't worry."
Zhang Liang and his companions quickly packed up the things, put them in the back seat of his car, and tied them up.
Jiang Liang waved his hand, rode his bike to Old Man Jiang's place, and put the lobster down. "Old Man, Su Le gave it to me."
Then he left.
My workers are still working, so I hurried back to bring them some food.
The old man looked at the bright red lobsters, took one out and tasted it. He'd had it before, and it was full of sand. This one seemed different; it was incredibly flavorful and clean. He immediately asked his secretary to bring each provincial and regional manager to the conference room to taste it. He wanted to collaborate directly with Su Le, perhaps to learn about the secret recipe.
Dozens of people ate a few each and praised them. "Where did the old man get these?"
"Can I buy this secret recipe?"
“If we sell it in our restaurant, it will definitely be a hit.”
Mr. Jiang smiled and nodded, "Send two representatives with me to discuss cooperation."
Everyone raised their hands. The old man only asked for one from Beijing and one from a nearby province. The secretary called Jiang Liang and asked him to come over soon. Jiang Liang told the secretary the location of the office. Then he called Su Le and told him he couldn't leave for the time being.
Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao walked towards the office. "Le Le, what kind of cooperation do they want to discuss with us?"
"I think he wants our secret recipe. I absolutely cannot agree to it. I'll talk to him later." Su Le said to Xu Jiaojiao. Xu Jiaojiao nodded.
The two men opened the office door, wiped the table and everything, and then sat on the chairs at the front desk, waiting for Mr. Jiang and his companions.
When Mr. Jiang arrived at the place in his car, he got out of the car and said to Su Le with a smile, "I have heard a lot about your recent deeds."
Su Le also smiled and said, "There is no such thing as a great achievement. It's just random speculation."
Mr. Jiang smiled and didn't call out any names. Su Le and Xu Jiaojiao led them into the meeting room. Xu Jiaojiao went out to pour water and add some tea leaves, placing it in front of each person.
"Girl, you know why I'm here. Let's just be frank and speak frankly." Old Master Jiang is not the kind of person who beats around the bush.
Su Le nodded and said cheerfully, "I'm not selling secret recipes, but we can discuss everything else."
Mr. Jiang choked on his words. "Girl, let's talk."
Su Le shook his head. "Let's not talk about it. The only solution I can accept is that you provide the raw lobsters, and we'll be responsible for preparing and delivering them to you. Oh, and you have to limit the quantity, otherwise you'll be stealing our business. Old man, you know, we rely mainly on this to make money now. Giving you a share is like taking away half of our customers. If you don't limit the quantity, our restaurant probably won't be able to operate."
Mr. Jiang picked up the water cup and took a sip. "That's not very kind of you. I came here with sincerity."
Su Le nodded. "I understand. I am also sincere in cooperating with you. Old man, why don't you listen carefully? We have to purchase goods from Hongxing Village. We also pay the farmers, not for free. Helping them to get rich was my original intention, so the freight is also on my side. Then we have to spend manpower to clean it, and then there is the seasoning. I believe you have eaten some of it. I don't need to tell you how it tastes. There are a lot of good seasonings in it, and it only costs 90 cents per pound when sold to ordinary people. Including the cost, we only make 1 cent. My idea is that you go to buy lobsters from nearby villages, help them make money, and then we process them. You give us 50 cents per pound for processing, which is purely labor cost and seasoning fee. We don't make a penny. The selling price must be the same as ours. 90 cents per pound. Limited to 50 pounds a day."
Mr. Jiang looked at the others, and they all started thinking.
