Chapter 34 New Business Opportunities

Li Meng reached out and patted Wu Ruirui's head, "Go to sleep, you are still young. When you meet someone you like, you will understand what love at first sight is." After that, she covered herself with the quilt and prepared to play chess with Zhou Gong, leaving Wu Ruirui still thinking about what love at first sight is.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Leaving the warm bed, Li Meng quickly put on her clothes and put on a few heat packs. It would be very cold to take the bus soon. Li Meng called Wu Ruirui a few times to remind her not to sleep anymore because she had to go to work soon. Then she picked up her cloth bag and put on her scarf to go to the village entrance to take the bus.

Li Zhiqing, you are going to town again today. Old Chen, the driver, greeted Li Meng, who was wrapped tightly.

Yes, my family sent me a package and asked me to pick it up. Uncle, the weather is getting colder, so you should take care of yourself and wear more clothes, Li Meng said to the driver, Old Chen.

Several more women got on the oxcart one after another. Li Meng looked around and saw no one she knew, so she lowered her head, closed her eyes, and leaned against the frame, pretending to sleep. The oxcart started to sway and move towards the town.

Last night, Li Meng decided to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to ask Sister Wang where the black market in town was. She was going to take a look and see if there might be any business opportunities. Now that she has a boyfriend, she needs to make more money so that her boyfriend can live a good life with her.

We've arrived. Let's all get off the bus. Those who are not leaving at noon can come here and wait at 4pm. It gets dark early now, so it's better to go back earlier. Old Chen parked the car and gave some instructions. Everyone replied that they understood and dispersed. Li Meng was the last one to jump off the bus and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

As soon as she entered the store, she saw several female salespeople wearing scarves. Li Meng recognized at a glance that this was the kind she bought for Sister Wang, and went straight up to the second floor.

My dear aunt, you are here. If you don’t come, I will go to your village to find you. As soon as Li Meng went upstairs, she was hugged by Sister Wang.

Sister, I am here now. What do you call this? This is called telepathy, right? Haha, Li Meng laughed.

Sister Wang saw Li Meng carrying a small bag, so she signaled her with her eyes to go to the corner to talk, and the two of them walked to the counter. I guess you saw it when you came in, Sister Wang covered her mouth and laughed,

Sister, you are really good. You have successfully fooled all these salespeople. Li Meng also joked with a smile.

"Tsk, they all came to me on their own. I didn't need to say much, and they all paid for it. Even our director's wife came to ask about my scarves. "If you can get me more this time, I guarantee that they can all be sold," said Sister Wang, raising her chin proudly.

I am here to pick up the package. I will deliver it to you this afternoon. There are other goods as well. I guarantee you will like them. Li Meng blinked mysteriously.

There are still a few lipsticks, and you can bring more bright red ones, as most people like bright red. There is no scarf left, it is very popular, I have received several deposits, and I am just waiting for your scarf to arrive. Here is the money, you take it, Sister Wang said, took out a small cloth bag, handed it to Li Meng, and asked her to count it.

Li Meng opened the small cloth bag, took out the commission money and gave it to Sister Wang, and put the rest of the money away without even looking at it.

Sister Wang was stunned. This girl was very open and honest. She trusted her employees. Sister Wang took the money without saying anything. Li Meng smiled and said to Sister Wang, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Li Meng approached Sister Wang and asked in a low voice the address of the black market in town. Sister Wang was shocked. She looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly asked her why she was going to the black market.

You are so brave. Let me tell you, if you don't know anyone in the black market in this town, you will be easily robbed. The people who manage the black market are not good people. They are very fierce. I have seen them beat people with my own eyes. You'd better not go there as a little girl, Sister Wang said.

Don't worry, my dear sister, I just want to go and take a look. I promise I won't do anything. Just tell me. As soon as Li Meng saw that Sister Wang was so serious, she started to pull Sister Wang's sleeve and act like a spoiled child.

Forget it, forget it. I tell you, don’t pull my sleeves anymore. If you tear them again, you have to compensate me with a new one. Sister Wang looked at the brave girl and compromised.

Li Meng knew the address of the black market and immediately prepared to leave. Don't forget what happened this afternoon, come back early. Sister Wang gave her a few instructions and let her go.

Li Meng walked to an empty alley and slipped into the space. She took out her cosmetics and dressed up for a while, changed her clothes, put on a wig, and came out as a middle-aged woman with a sallow complexion. She carried a bamboo basket covered with floral cloth and went to the black market.

Since Sister Wang told her to be careful, she should change her body first. This place is not at home and she is familiar with the roads. It is easy to escape when there is danger. This way, no one should recognize her.

When they arrived at the black market, they saw two young men who looked like gangsters standing at the entrance of the alley. Li Meng walked up to them. One of the young men looked up and asked Li Meng, "Auntie, did you buy this?" Still selling it? Selling, Li Meng answered calmly. The young man pointed to the big tree in front and said, "Just walk another fifty meters and knock on the door to go in."

Li Meng reached out and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the young man. I want to find your manager. I have a big business to discuss. Can you help me introduce him to someone?

The young man was startled, looked at the big front door in his hand, and then said, "Auntie, wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon." Then he said something to his companions and quickly ran into the alley.

Not long after, the young man came over with a well-dressed man who was about 40 years old.

Big sister, I heard from Xiao Yu that you have business to discuss, right? The big man asked Li Meng kindly,

Yes, why don't we find a place to talk, Li Meng said calmly, OK, sister, then follow me. The big man led the way in front, and Li Meng followed closely behind him and walked into the alley with the big man.

The two walked to a small courtyard. The big man knocked on the door, and the person inside opened the door and let them in. It was a square courtyard with a stone table in the courtyard and a lot of wooden sticks placed at the corner. Li Meng walked into the house calmly and sat down.

Have a cup of hot water, big sister. The big man asked the younger brother who opened the door to pour a glass of water, then sat opposite Li Meng and crossed his legs.

"I don't know what business you want to discuss with us, sister, why don't you tell me, the big man said politely."

'Can you decide? Li Meng played with the cup in her hand but didn't drink the water.

The big man laughed and said, "Of course, you should tell me what good stuff you have, and then I can give you the price."

Li Meng looked up at the screen and decided to let the person who can make the decision come out to talk. Li Meng narrowed her eyes and smiled.

When she came in, Li Meng asked Dandan to observe the dynamics in the room for her. She knew there was someone behind the screen. When the big man asked his men to pour water, the men also glanced at the screen.

At this time, a woman wearing a mink vest, a black cotton robe and a bun came out from behind the screen. She was about thirty years old and looked very well-maintained. She was charming, bright and generous.

The little girl had good eyesight. The woman came out and looked Li Meng up and down and told Li Meng's real age in one sentence.
