Chapter 74 Chapter 74 The Best of Both Worlds

Kunzi's eyes trembled. Of course, he was anxious to make money to treat his son, but he couldn't let Uncle Ding give him money. Uncle Ding had helped him enough, and he couldn't be so greedy anymore.

The old man and the young boy were about to start arguing again. Jiang Xi said, "I have a suggestion. You might want to listen to it."

The old man and the young man looked at each other in unison. Jiang Xi looked at Kunzi and said, "Uncle Ding wants to help you save Yaer. Yaer is in urgent need of treatment. This isn't just ordinary help, this is saving a life. Human life is the most precious thing. There's absolutely no room for hesitation. I know you have your own ambitions, but at this moment, ambitions are not as important as saving a life."

Jiang Xi then said to Old Man Ding, "Uncle Ding, I know you want to help him, but Kunzi also has his own beliefs. Sometimes helping others requires a method they can accept, otherwise helping becomes oppression."

Jiang Xi continued impartially, "I have a suggestion. Uncle Ding, you can lend the money to Kunzi. Kunzi, you should accept Uncle Ding's help first, and then work hard to earn money and repay Uncle Ding later."

Jiang Xi proposed a compromise plan, and Zhou Jiangang immediately agreed: "This method is good. Uncle Ding can help Kunzi, Kunzi won't have to worry about it, and Yaer can also get treatment."

Kunzi thought about it and his brows relaxed. Jiang Xi's suggestion touched his heart. "Uncle Ding, consider this money a loan from you. I'll write you an IOU and will definitely pay you back!"

Old Man Ding also gave in. He knew that if he gave the money directly to Kunzi, Kunzi would definitely not take it.

But he had to give this money to Kunzi. He wanted to save Yaer, so he could only say, "Okay, write me an IOU."

As for whether to keep the money later, it is still up to him. Boy, you still want to fight with me, your grandpa?

The atmosphere between the old man and the young boy eased, and the main conflict was resolved.

Old Man Ding: "You are quite perceptive, little girl. Sign the contract quickly."

Old Man Ding added a few more words: "But don't try to bargain with me just because of this. The price of the house will not be reduced by a penny."

Through getting along with Old Man Ding, Jiang Xi already knew what kind of person he was. He was as hard as a stone in a toilet, but there was still some kindness in his heart.

Jiang Xi's impression of Old Man Ding gradually changed. Although his words were unpleasant, they were much better than those beasts in human form.

Jiang Xi had no intention of confronting Old Man Ding: "Don't worry, Uncle Ding. I mean what I say."

Old Man Ding didn't expect that Jiang Xi didn't refute him this time. Instead, he agreed with what he said. Old Man Ding had a lot of complaints in his heart but couldn't say anything. He could only hum and didn't say anything else.

Jiang Xi finally got the shop he had longed for, and his mood became relieved. Kunzi stood silently by his side.

Jiang Xi was already short of manpower, and looking at Kunzi, he suddenly remembered that there was something that was very suitable for Kunzi to do. Instead of looking for an outsider who he didn't know much about, it would be better to look for Kunzi. Although he didn't have much contact with Kunzi, judging from the fact that Kunzi just refused Old Man Ding's money, Kunzi should not be a person who is greedy for small profits and has bad thoughts.

Jiang Xi asked: "Kunzi, what do you do for a living?"

Kunzi was surprised that Jiang Xi would ask this, but he answered honestly: "I don't have a proper job. I often help others carry bags during this period, and sometimes I do other things."

Jiang Xi nodded and thought. She had already negotiated a cooperation with Shiquan Pavilion and would have to deliver goods to Shiquan Pavilion every day in the future.

There are also the security guard, Zhou Jiangang, and Qian Lili, so there are four places where deliveries need to be made, not to mention that if more sales staff are added in the future, there will be even more places where deliveries need to be made.

Jiang Xi couldn't do all this alone, so it was the perfect time to find Kun Zi. Thinking of this, Jiang Xi directly proposed, "I need someone to help me deliver goods. I have four fixed locations every morning. Are you willing to help me? I'll give you fifty cents for each delivery."

Kunzi was overjoyed. One trip was only 50 cents, so four trips would be two yuan. Moreover, he only made deliveries in the morning and could help others carry bags in the afternoon, so he could make a lot more money. Kunzi did not hesitate: "I am willing to do it. I am very strong and can deliver any amount of goods."

Jiang Xi: "Well, then you can help me deliver the goods later. I will give you a contract, which is also a guarantee for both of us."

In the past, Jiang Xi always agreed to help others verbally, but after reading the Company Management Law, Jiang Xi felt that if he wanted to grow bigger and stronger, he couldn't be careless in any aspect.

Promises made verbally are not safe, they must be put into black and white.

Not only does she need to do this with her partners, but she also needs to do this with her employees. They are friends outside of work, but they are partners above work. All rules, regulations and rules need to be made clear.

Jiang Xi's ambition is not just to open a small shop. If he wants to open a bigger shop, he needs to have a more careful layout.

Kunzi agreed without hesitation. Suddenly he got a good job and there was some joy on his face. Old man Ding was also a little happy. He smiled but just raised his mouth for the sake of face.

In this way, Jiang Xi bought the shop he liked and found the delivery person.

Zhou Jiangang successfully introduced a business, Old Man Ding sold his shop and got money, and Kunzi also got a job. Everyone was happy.

Jiang Xi didn't stop for a moment. She had already had the idea of ​​decorating the shop before she bought it.

The shop is a bit dark now, and all the walls need to be repainted. Moreover, the current layout of the shop is not suitable for selling zaolu. The production process of zaolu does not need to be seen by others, but every kind of prepared zaolu must be intuitively felt by customers.

Jiang Xi plans to build a transparent glass counter and place each kind of marinated food separately, so that the products can be displayed clearly and are cleaner and more hygienic.

"Brother Zhou, do you know where I can get custom glass counters?"

Zhou Jiangang thought for a moment and said, "I know. I have a friend who makes this stuff at home."

Jiang Xi: "That's great, I plan to build a counter along this side."

Jiang Xi gestured to Zhou Jiangang, who understood immediately: "This is easy. You just need to tell me the pattern and I'll tell my friend. I guarantee it will be done quickly, well and cost-effectively."

Jiang Xi smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Brother Zhou. The rest of the shop needs to be renovated. Brother Zhou, do you know anyone who knows something about this?"

Zhou Jiangang laughed heartily and said, "It's still my friend. He knows a lot and is very kind. Just tell him what you need to change."

Jiang Xi was relieved: "Okay, I'll go back and draw a blueprint first, and then talk to your friend about it in detail later."

Zhou Jiangang: "Okay, then I'll go talk to him about making the glass cabinet first."

After buying the shop he had been dreaming of, Jiang Xi finally felt at ease. This was a new starting point. Wu Ji Zao Lu could finally hang up a striking sign and was no longer just a small stall. With this sign, Wu Ji Zao Lu would surely flourish.

Jiang Xi's eyes were blazing with fire, and he made no secret of his ambition. He was in high spirits on the way back, and even ran because of excessive excitement.

As soon as Jiang Xi ran into the village, he was stopped by Aunt Li. Jiang Xi recognized Aunt Li, the same aunt who had spoken up for justice when he was watching the excitement earlier.

Aunt Li glanced at Jiang Xi mysteriously and said, "Were you raped by a gangster a few days ago?"

Aunt Li asked directly, her words showing concern as well as some gossip and inquiry.

Jiang Xi's face darkened: "Aunt Li, why do you say that?"

Aunt Li: "It's been spread all over the village that you've been raped by a gangster. I won't repeat some of the more unpleasant words, but I just want to ask you, are you really being raped?"

Although Aunt Li asked this, there was a hint of pity in her eyes, as if she had already determined that Jiang Xi had been taken advantage of.

Jiang Xi's excitement cooled down instantly. Only she and Qi Yu'an knew what happened last time.

Qi Yu'an would definitely not tell anyone, so who knew about this and deliberately spread these rumors? Jiang Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, without having to think too much, the person who spread these rumors was the culprit.

The other party deliberately hired hooligans to hurt her, and when that failed, he came up with another plan and used such a vicious method. It seemed that the other party must hate her very much.

Jiang Xi asked seriously, "Aunt Li, where did you hear that?"

Aunt Li felt a little embarrassed. She had just seen Jiang Xi get excited and asked directly without considering Jiang Xi's mood at all. The little girl was thin-skinned. Would she be upset after being asked like this?

"I also heard it from Aunt Erniu next door."

Jiang Xi frowned. She recognized Aunt Erniu, who also liked gossip and had little in common with her.

"Who did Aunt Erniu hear this from?"

Aunt Li shook her head: "I don't know about that. Anyway, everyone is talking about it, I thought..."

Jiang Xi's expression remained unchanged: "Aunt Li, those people are making up stories out of nothing. Don't believe them easily. I'm fine. Nothing has happened to me."

Aunt Li didn't believe it at first, but when she saw that Jiang Xi had a frank expression and didn't seem to be lying, she couldn't help but start to doubt it.

Jiang Xi and Aunt Li spoke in low voices, but there were too many people watching the fun around them, so they deliberately moved closer. When they heard what was said, the expressions on their faces were also very interesting, but without exception, they all pointed at Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi felt the burning gaze on her back, but she didn't take it seriously. She kept wondering who it was and who was the person behind the scenes.

Jiang Xi was not afraid of everyone's gaze and saw Wu Yaqin before he reached the door of his house.

Wu Yaqin stood at the door with her eyes wide open, her eyes swollen like peaches.

Jiang Xi hurried forward. Wu Yaqin saw Jiang Xi shook her hand vigorously and cried, "Xixi, tell me what happened. Is what they said true?"

Wu Yaqin thought about how Jiang Xi's clothes were torn and her legs had some scars when she came back a few days ago. She was extremely scared, fearing that something like that really happened to Jiang Xi. Then, she would have no hope of living.
