Chapter 78 Be Your Strategist

Guan An asked carefully, "The black market? What did that person say?"

“He said he got the supplies from the military.” Su Jin also found this strange.

“That’s right.” Guan An affirmed. “I thought that stain-removing soap was pretty good, so I gave it to my mom. Then my mom mentioned it to my dad by chance, and after my dad used it, he also felt that it was much better than ordinary soaps on the market, so he came to me.”

Hearing this, Su Jin could roughly guess what would happen next.

“My dad asked me where I got the stain-removing soap. You had told us not to tell anyone, so I said a friend developed it. My dad then said he wanted the formula for the stain-removing soap so that it could be made specifically for the military.”

As Guan An spoke, he kept an eye on her reaction.

After all, the stain-removing soap was developed by Su Jin. When he made this decision, she had already left the family compound and disappeared without a trace, so he could only make the decision on his own.

Su Jin said, "So you gave the formula to Uncle Guan."

“It wasn’t free; I asked him for money.” Guan An felt that asking for money was only natural.

This was unexpected for Su Jin, and she understood what the money in the envelope meant.

"Uncle Guan just gave it to you?"

Guan An smiled and said, "I told him that this was my friend's research result, and I couldn't just give it away for nothing. My dad agreed after hearing what I said. But he didn't give much, only five hundred yuan."

He felt that they might have actually lost out by buying out the formula for the stain-removing soap for 500 yuan.

Of course, if his father hadn't taken a liking to it, it wouldn't have been of much use to them.

Su Jin really wanted to praise him and say "Well done".

“So, Sister Jin, this money is rightfully yours. And if you go to the South, you’ll need some money to fall back on,” Guan An reminded her.

This time, Su Jin didn't refuse. "Okay, then I'll accept it."

With this unexpected windfall, she could use it as start-up capital to do whatever she wanted to do when she went to the south.

"I'm full, and we've finished discussing business. I'd like to take a nap. Why don't you go back first?"

I made up an excuse to get him to leave.

Guan An then spoke seriously, "We haven't finished discussing the important matters yet."

Su Jin: "Anything else? Tell me."

Guan An didn't continue immediately, but remained silent for a few seconds, as if he was considering something.

"Sister Jin, what do you think of me?"

"Huh?" Su Jin didn't understand what he meant.

“You, me, Fatty, Er Mang, we grew up together. I don’t have Er Mang’s skills, nor Fatty’s thick skin, but I’m pretty smart. What do you think?” Guan An stared intently at her, waiting for her answer.

Su Jin was both amused and exasperated, but she still nodded under his gaze. "Your mind isn't just good, it's exceptional. Among the four of us, you have the most ideas. Moreover, you're very meticulous and tactful in your work. In short, you have many strengths."

She's quite good at praising people, and what she said was all true.

Guan An couldn't help but be happy to hear her praise.

"So I'm so well regarded in Sister Jin's heart."

Su Jin nodded again, "Yes. You are all very good."

Guan An felt more confident. "Then can I be your strategist and offer you advice?"

Su Jin replied almost subconsciously, "You were originally the strategist among the four of us."

Most of the "great achievements" the four of them had done in the family compound were actually his ideas.
