Chapter 131

Many times, no one believes you even if you tell the truth.

Obviously, she could make money if the other party didn't believe her, but for some reason, Jiang Meishu felt a little disappointed.

"Lao Liang, if someone told you this news, saying that the meat processing plant would catch fire, would you believe it?"

Jiang Meishu had to admit that she was being too picky.

She just wanted to ask clearly.

Liang Qiurun, "Normally, I wouldn't believe it."

He seemed to see Jiang Meishu's confusion and let her lie on his lap, gently massaging her temples. "Jiang Jiang, you have to understand that as a factory manager, we receive a lot of news every day. There's news like the factory is on fire, things are being stolen, the factory is going bankrupt. We receive countless news like this every day."

"So, most of the time, we block out this kind of news."

Jiang Meishu, "What if I insist on saying it?"

"If nothing goes wrong, it's fine. But if something does go wrong, I'll see you at the police station."

"Jiang Jiang." Liang Qiurun lowered his head and met her eyes. "Can you tell me where you got the news about the cannery fire?"

His eyes were so penetrating that Jiang Meishu didn't dare to look him in the eye. The moment he looked over and asked, Jiang Meishu closed her eyes.

"I can't."

"I can't tell you where I got it from."

Liang Qiurun didn't seem surprised by this answer.

"Jiang Jiang." He softened his grip slightly. "Look, you can't even get past me, let alone if something really happens and the police come looking for you?"

"So, just pretend you don't know, okay?"

"Keep this matter to yourself and pretend you don't know anything. This is the best way to protect you."

Jiang Meishu opened her mouth, but finally nodded, "I understand."

She shouldn't have hesitated in the first place.

If you want to make money, you shouldn't be soft-hearted.

Liang Qiurun hummed, "Can you tell me what happened specifically?"

Jiang Meishu was a little hesitant.

"Is it inconvenient to say?"

Jiang Meishu nodded.

"Is it dangerous?" Liang Qiurun asked in a different way.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "It won't have much of an impact."

She had the purchasing certificate from the department store, which was like having a pass. It all depended on how much goods the Lianshi Cannery could sell to her.

"That'll do."

Liang Qiurun gave Jiang Meishu enough freedom, "If you encounter something you can't solve, you can come to me."

Jiang Meishu bit her lip. She slowly sat up from Liang Qiurun's arms, lost in thought. "Lao Liang, do you know anyone from the Lian City Cannery?"

She was just asking casually and didn't hold out much hope.

After all, the city cannery and the capital meat processing plant have nothing in common.

Liang Qiurun smoothed her hair, which was a little messy from lying down, and her alopecia stood up. Her eyes were fixed, "Is this the Lian City Cannery?"

Jiang Meishu was, she turned her head to look at him, eyes expectant, "Is there?"

She was sitting in his arms, a little curled up in her arms, with a head of silly hair, and her eyes were full of expectation, which made Liang Qiurun's heart soften.

"have."

Even if there isn't one, there has to be one now.

"what are you up to?"

Liang Qiurun was already thinking, looking at the people he knew in Lian City. Retired people like them were actually assigned to various parts of the country.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "There is a person."

"who?"

Jiang Meishu immediately asked curiously.

"The other person is my friend who went abroad that year. His surname is Wu and he was assigned to the Lianshi Cannery."

Jiang Meishu sat up straight and asked, "Are you still at the Lian City Cannery?"

"exist."

Liang Qiurun remembered this because he had worked with him before. At that time, he was still working in Heilongjiang Province. When he was purchasing benefits for his workers at the end of the year, he contacted Lao Wu.

Strictly speaking, the Lianshi Cannery had a longer history than the Capital Cannery. This was because Lianshi had an abundant supply of fruit, and being a coastal city, they could afford to supply the cannery with both imported fruit and their own fruit.

Jiang Meishu, "Can you introduce me to him?"

She was looking forward to it. "Lao Liang, I won't hide it from you. I want to do the canned food business, but it's a one-time deal for now."

According to what her sister said, this is speculation.

She wants to take a chance and make this deal happen.

It’s just like the coal business and cabbage business back then.

Liang Qiurun's eyes darkened. "Doing business is risky, especially now that the company is cracking down on individual speculation."

Jiang Meishu shook her head and pursed her lips. "It's not personal speculation." She took out the purchase certificate in her hand and said, "See? This is the purchase certificate for the department store."

"I'm not speculating."

"I am wearing a layer of public skin."

There are many people like her these days. Otherwise, there would be no reason why in this poor era, some families can eat fine grains every meal while others are starving.

Liang Qiurun took the purchase certificate, looked at it carefully for a while, and his pupils shrank slightly. "Second sister-in-law, are you giving me all these things?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

With Liang Qiurun's vision, he could naturally see that this purchase certificate was different.

A blank purchase certificate with a stamp, what does it mean?

Liang Qiurun knew very well that if the head of the purchasing department of the meat processing plant dared to issue a blank purchase certificate with a stamp, he would definitely fire him!

This pest cannot be allowed to stay!

But this matter is not under his jurisdiction, and it was done by his second sister-in-law, so it is naturally different.

"Second sister-in-law." He considered for a moment, "Why would I give you something like this?"

Jiang Meishu's eyes widened at this question, "Why can't she give it to me? I run errands for her and help her get business. If she doesn't give it to me, who else can she give it to?"

She was born with a pair of big eyes, and when she looked at people like this, they looked even bigger. The black and white were clear, and her pupils were pitch black, which was incredibly beautiful.

Liang Qiurun coughed lightly, "What I mean is that this kind of thing should not be revealed."

Jiang Meishu, "But my second sister-in-law only gave it to me."

She was delighted. "Second sister-in-law trusts me and only me. She would only give me this blank purchase certificate."

At this point, she looked up and said seriously, "Lao Liang, I won't use this blank purchase certificate to cheat my second sister-in-law, and I won't betray her trust. I'm holding this purchase certificate." She waved it in front of Liang Qiurun, "It's to attract business for my second sister-in-law, to earn money for a promotion and a raise."

"So you don't understand the mutual accomplishment between my second sister-in-law and me."

Give him a roll of the eyes.

Liang Qiurun remained noncommittal. "Do you want me to contact Comrade Wu?"

"want."

As expected, there is no gain without pain.

Liang Qiurun was very quick. He called Lianshi Cannery in one go and then hung up again.

He wrote down an address and said, "Look for someone at this address."

After giving it to Jiang Meishu, he finally realized, "Are you going to Lian City?"

Jiang Meishu, "If I don't go to Lian City, how can I do business?"

Liang Qiurun disagreed.

After all, what happened last time is still fresh in our memory.

Jiang Meishu hugged his waist and acted coquettishly, "Lao Liang, you have grasped the general direction for me. I am just running errands."

"If you can't even do this, you're such a waste."

Jiang Meishu had to admit that she was not a particularly capable or ambitious person.

She needs someone to push her forward when doing things, whether it's her sister or Liang Qiurun, they are the ones pushing her from behind.

Liang Qiurun was still worried.

"I'll call Liang Rui to come with me."

Then Liang Qiurun will be even more worried, okay?

He frowned, his expression disapproving. "Jiang Jiang, going out to other places is far more dangerous than you think. Whether it's pickpockets on the train or kidnappers on the line, there are dangers everywhere."

"Aren't you okay at home?"

Liang Qiurun took her hand and looked down at her. "The salary I earn is enough for our family to live a good life."

"You don't need to work so hard."

This is the truth. Liang Qiurun's monthly salary is even among the top 10% in the entire capital. He has no family burden, and his salary is more than enough to support his wife and children.

Jiang Meishu, "I'm not tired."

She broke away from Liang Qiurun's hand and said, "Lao Liang, I need to do my own things. Besides, who would complain about having too much money?"

She muttered.

"If I earn more now, I can buy more houses in the future."

Now is the time to accumulate capital.

She wanted to save a few hundred thousand dollars and when her real estate business took off, she would buy hundreds of houses and live off the rent for the rest of her life.

If she gets old and she and Liang Qiurun don't have children, and their married life becomes unsustainable, she can have more money and more houses to have a way out.

Unfortunately, Jiang Meishu could never say this to Liang Qiurun.

After hearing the first half of her sentence, Liang Qiurun just frowned slightly and said, "Then I'll ask Secretary Chen to take you there?"

This was his first time to abuse his power and pervert the law.

He even thought of asking the civil servants around him to help Jiang Meishu.

Jiang Meishu waved her hand, "No, no, Liang Rui and I will be enough."

Liang Qiurun wanted to say something, but Jiang Meishu raised her foot, covered his mouth with her hand, and whispered, "Lao Liang, every time you work overtime or go on business trips, I never bother you, right?"

She didn't say the rest of the sentence.

But Liang Qiurun understood.

So, please don't bother me, okay?

While they help each other, they also need to give each other freedom.

Liang Qiurun, who had always been strong, was defeated by Jiang Meishu for the first time. "I understand."

Hoarse voice.

Seeing that he was neither asking nor pursuing the matter.

Jiang Meishu started to have wild thoughts again, wondering if she had gone too far.

However, she really didn't want Liang Qiurun to discipline her too much. Especially since he actually wanted her to give up her business and wait for him to get off work every day at home. She used to think this kind of life was good, but after a while, she found it was as dull as a pool of stagnant water.

It seems not bad to go out and make some money occasionally to spice up your life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu began to enjoy herself and painted a rosy picture for Liang Qiurun, "Lao Liang, wait for me, I will support you when I get rich in the future."

Anyway, she knew that the meat processing plant would only be prosperous until the 1990s, and then Lao Liang would be laid off.

An old man who has been laid off may have to rely on his wife for support.

Of course Liang Qiurun didn't take her words to heart. She just thought Jiang Meishu was trying to coax her so that she wouldn't interrupt her business outside.

However, Liang Qiurun saw through it but didn't say anything. He hummed, a faint smile in his eyes, "Then I'll wait for you to support me."

*

Once Jiang Meishu was sure of the deal, she got to work. With the department store's purchasing pass, all the paperwork was no longer a problem.

Before buying the train tickets to Lian City, Jiang Meishu and Liang Rui went to the Capital Cannery. In those days, the cannery was still open to the public, and people could come and go freely at the gate.

After they went in and took a look around, they didn't see any signs of fire.

Liang Rui lowered his voice and asked, "Are you sure there will be a fire here?"

Jiang Meishu shook her head, "I'm not sure."

Seeing the workers at the cannery just getting off work, she pulled over an older woman and stuffed two candies into her hand. "Auntie, I'd like to ask you, what kinds of canned goods do you produce here at the cannery?"

The elder sister didn't want to talk at first. She was exhausted after working all day.

But after noticing the three White Rabbit candies stuffed in her palm, the elder sister suddenly changed her tired expression and said excitedly, "Our factory produces a lot of canned food. The two largest varieties are canned oranges and canned yellow peaches. In addition, we also have a small amount of canned apples and canned pears."

"That's basically the four varieties. Why? Do you want to buy canned food?"

Jiang Meishu hummed and smiled stiffly, "Aren't these canned goods from the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores too expensive? I want to come to the cannery and ask if there are any cheaper canned goods here."

The other party didn't seem surprised and immediately waved his hand, "Don't even think about it. The cans are all priced uniformly. Even if there are any cans that are bad or about to expire, they have been divided up among us insiders. It's not even the turn of outsiders to buy them."

"So, if you really want to buy canned food, go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores."

After Jiang Meishu thanked him, she watched him leave.

Liang Rui was shocked. "Is this why you came here in such tattered clothes today?"

Jiang Meishu, "What else?"

She checked the time and said, "Okay, I've basically figured it out. Let's go to my sister's house to get the money."

Since you are going to Lian City, you must bring money with you.

And the money can only be more, not less.

Liang Rui is now Jiang Meishu's little follower. He does whatever she says. After arriving at the Shen family, he stood guard at the door like a bodyguard, never leaving.

Jiang Meishu went in and briefly explained the situation to Jiang Meilan.

"We've mentioned the fire vaguely, but no one at the cannery seems to be taking it seriously, so going to Lian City the day after tomorrow is almost a foregone conclusion."

Jiang Meilan handed her the passbook she had placed under her pillow without saying a word. "Take it out. Buy as much goods as you can this time and put all your capital into it."

Jiang Meishu hummed, "Of course, I can, but I want to hear the confirmed news."

"Will there really be a fire on the night of the 11th?"

This is the important factor that determines whether their deal can be successful.

Jiang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "I'll have Shen Zhanlie keep an eye on the cannery. If there's a fire here, I'll have him call you or send you a telegram."

Jiang Meishu hummed, "Then I'll give you news when I get to Lian City."

"If it's a phone call, I'll call Aunt Li in our alley. When she answers the phone, she'll tell you."

Jiang Meilan nodded.

The two reviewed the plan again and made sure there were no problems.

Jiang Meilan looked up at Jiang Meishu and said, "Be careful on the road."

Jiang Meishu nodded, "I know."

When she left the Shen family's house, she had a bankbook with 3,500 yuan in it. In addition, there was her bankbook with 9,800 yuan in it.

Plus Liang Rui’s wife’s capital, it’s exactly one thousand yuan.

The total amount is fourteen thousand and three.

The three of them pooled over 10,000 yuan, the equivalent of a 10,000 yuan household in the 1970s. Jiang Meishu was nervous about this amount of money, "Did we go to Lian City to get it?"

Liang Rui, "That's for sure. Otherwise, how would we get on the train with two sacks of money?"

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "Take out one thousand yuan as a deposit."

"Otherwise, how can the other party trust us?"

It's really like two cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang.

The two of them discussed it while working on it.

The money has been withdrawn.

Jiang Meishu asked, "Have all the teams called out?"

"We've already called them. We'll take the train and they'll drive." Liang Rui hesitated. "I'd rather go with a convoy of people I know. They'll charge 40 yuan per person for two large trucks to go back and forth."

This is really expensive, and they also have to bear the cost of fuel, so that's why truck drivers are so popular these days.

This kind of extra income can cover the expenses of a family.

Jiang Meishu, "It's fine with them, two people will be 80 yuan."

"Think about our business. If it succeeds, we won't care about the 80 yuan fare."

"Too."

Liang Rui nodded, "What should we do now?"

Jiang Meishu, "Pack your things and get on the train to Lian City."

"Are we really going alone?"

"You don't dare?"

"Who are you talking about?" Liang Rui immediately retorted, "Don't underestimate me. I've been traveling all over the country with my dad since I was six years old."

Jiang Meishu, "Then you better be alert on the road, I still need your protection."

Liang Rui was happy to hear this.

The two went back to pack their things, but unfortunately Liang Qiurun was not there.

Liang Rui chuckled and took out a piece of paper and wrote, "Dad, I'm taking your wife away. Don't worry."

After writing it, he placed it on Liang Qiurun's desk. He could almost imagine his father's face flushed with anger after seeing this note.

When he thought of this, Liang Rui smiled foolishly.

"Let's go. We have an afternoon train. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Jiang Meishu packed her clothes and urged him to go. Liang Rui hurried to follow. He took two sets of clothes with him. After all, it was summer and the clothes were thin and would not take up much space.

The two of them looked at each other and nodded in satisfaction, seeing that they were both lightly dressed. However, when they arrived at the train station, they saw Shen Zhanlie standing at the train station door waiting for them.

This surprised Jiang Meishu, and she immediately went up to him, "Why are you here too?"

Shen Zhanlie scratched his head. The brown bear-like man standing there, moving back and forth, was very eye-catching.

"Meishu is worried about you because you haven't been away from home for a long time. She asked me to take some time off so I can go with you."

After all, Jiang Meilan was still worried about her sister and Liang Rui. In her eyes, they were both half-grown children.

Jiang Meishu, "Then how did you buy the train ticket?"

Shen Zhanlie hesitated and said, “I’ll go to Director Liang and he’ll give me a pass.”

This was also because someone was behind the scenes and used a backdoor. If not, Shen Zhanlie would not have been able to buy a train ticket.

Jiang Meishu was helpless and a little surprised, "Did Lao Liang prescribe it for you?"

Shen Zhanlie nodded. "When I went to see Director Liang, he planned to let Secretary Chen go with you. Later, when he heard that I was going too, he asked Secretary Chen to stay and issued me a travel permit."

It can be said that although Liang Qiurun did not come, he did a lot of things behind the scenes.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and murmured, "Lao Liang."

Liang Rui also had a complicated expression.

On the way into the train station.

Jiang Meishu said to Liang Rui, "Didn't you ask me why I told your dad about this?"

"That's the reason." Her face was calm, fair and gentle. "Liang Rui, our individual abilities are too weak. Why not combine our strengths and borrow your father's help to provide shade?"

Jiang Meishu has never been aloof. In both of her lives, she understood one thing: it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

Otherwise, why were people so keen on taking the civil service exam in their previous lives? Taking the civil service exam is not only a stable job, but also brings invisible benefits that are absolutely unimaginable to everyone.

Liang Rui thought about it and said, "That's true, but I still want to do something big with my own abilities to impress my father."

Jiang Meishu raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "If you have the ambition, I'll wait."

"Next time you're doing something alone, don't call me."

Liang Rui muttered, "You're not nice enough."

He was with Jiang Meishu, but Jiang Meishu wasn't with him. This was really too much.

Jiang Meishu was too lazy to pay attention to him.

But since Shen Zhanlie followed her, she felt relieved. Shen Zhanlie was a tall and strong man with a fierce look. With him around, she didn't have to worry about people on the road being interested in the money she had on her.

It was true. Because Shen Zhanlie was there, Jiang Meishu arrived in Lian City after a good sleep. When she woke up, Shen Zhanlie's eyes were as wide open as lanterns. He had been guarding her like that all night.

"You didn't sleep?"

Jiang Meishu asked him in a low voice.

Shen Zhanlie shook his head and said, "Not yet. I'll sleep when I get there."

They arrived early on the 9th, so they didn't mind taking some time to rest.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "After we get off the train, you go to the guesthouse to rest. Liang Rui and I will go to the cannery to look for someone."

Shen Zhanlie yawned loudly. "I'll go with you. I often stay up all night on night shifts, and I have a lot to do when I get home. I don't mind spending this little time."

"After you guys have finished discussing everything, I'll go back to the guesthouse to rest."

Jiang Meishu was still a little hesitant.

The train arrived at the station, and Shen Zhanlie carried his luggage and said, "Let's go."

Take drastic measures.

Jiang Meishu kicked Liang Rui, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and said, "Let's go."

Liang Rui finally woke up confusedly, "Are we there yet?"

He yawned, feeling a bit reluctant to move. Since Chen Zhanlie was there, he didn't worry about anything and slept soundly, relaxed.

Jiang Meishu looked at his tired appearance and couldn't help but kick him again, cursing him in a low voice, "I was counting on you to do business with me. It's good that you don't get sold out."

"Let's go, let's go. If you don't leave, your mother will not want you anymore."

Liang Rui, “…”
