Chapter 53 Encountering Danger on the Road, Making Outrageous Remarks
"Mrs. Tan?"
She's here to buy skincare products too? But didn't she just buy a bottle from Mrs. Zhang a couple of days ago?
Used it so quickly?
Chen Yi walked to the phone and gestured to Mrs. Jiang to hand her the receiver.
"Madam Tan, I am Chen Yi, Liu Chengxin's wife. May I ask what brings you here?" Chen Yi carefully considered her words and thought for a long time before speaking.
"Skincare products? What, you're willing to trade the land use rights of that piece of land in the suburbs for them?" Chen Yi was extremely shocked, her voice rising several decibels.
He quickly turned and gestured to Mrs. Jiang, telling her to go to the study to find her elder brother.
When Liu Chengxin arrived, he still looked confused, but his expression changed after he took the microphone.
After hanging up the phone, his face became even more fervent.
He even hugged Chen Yi directly.
"What are you two doing? I'm still here." Mrs. Jiang couldn't stand it anymore and covered her eyes.
"Honey, could you spare one of your two bottles of skincare products? We'll send you another one next time Xixi gets some. Madam Tan actually used that piece of land in the suburbs as a bargaining chip. Are all women this crazy?"
That piece of land in the suburbs is designated for development, and now several departments are vying for it.
If he can really get it, the ministerial position will be his for the taking next year, and the Liu family will also advance further as a result.
Thinking of this, Liu Chengxin was incredibly excited.
"Brother, Xixi has really helped our family a lot this time, don't you want to do something for her?" Madam Jiang was determined to fight for what was rightfully her beloved disciple.
What? Upon hearing this, our Liu family head wanted to run away.
His little sister is great in every way, except for one thing: she loves to swindle money from her older brother.
But this time, Xixi really did help her family a lot. This piece of land is something that cannot be measured in money.
In the end, the head of the Liu family could only nod resentfully, watching his younger sister enter the place where he kept his secret stash of money.
...
"Wei Laicheng, according to the information I've gathered, Rongcheng Garment Factory and our Huai'an Garment Factory have been at odds for a long time. Do you think you can successfully complete this mission?" Jiang Xixi was very doubtful, while Lan Miqian, who was sitting next to her, did not join the couple's conversation at all, but just looked at the scenery outside the window by herself.
Wei Laicheng, who was driving, didn't have many concerns. He figured there was always a way out, and he'd deal with it when the time came.
"When we get to Rongcheng, we'll see. If all else fails, we can use internal channels or just call back and take another order. We'll just make a little less money."
Seeing Wei Laicheng say this, Jiang Xixi temporarily put aside her inner concerns.
But she always had a feeling that something was going to happen along the way.
Sure enough, her sixth sense was quite accurate.
"Stop the car! Stop it now, or don't blame us for being impolite."
A group of people suddenly appeared 30 meters in front of the car. They were probably villagers from the neighborhood. Each of them was carrying a weapon and looked quite intimidating.
"Wei Laicheng?"
"Wife, don't be afraid, it's alright. These are usually people who want food and money. I'll go down and discuss it. You stay in the car and don't show yourself."
Although he said that, Wei Laicheng's face darkened visibly.
They often encounter robbers on the road while they are out on their journeys. They are usually after money and food, but inevitably, there are always those who are after women.
Regardless of what kind of people these are, he will not let his wife be in danger.
Wei Laicheng patted Jiang Xixi's hand one last time and gave her one last instruction before getting out of the car.
"Tiger, do you think this will work?"
"Why can't it work? I've seen the neighboring brigade stop a lot of vehicles here. Look at how well they eat every day, and then look at our village."
"If you don't want to work, no one's stopping you. Hurry up and turn back, you cowardly brat who hasn't been weaned! Go home and suckle your mother!"
"Hahahaha~" A burst of unrestrained laughter came from the crowd.
“You guys, the village chief said we can’t do this kind of thing. If we get caught, we’re really doomed. Everyone has elderly parents and young children to support. You guys do it yourselves, I’m not doing it.”
As he spoke, the man picked up his tools and walked away into the distance.
"Coward."
"This is nothing. When I was working for my older brother, I did much more than this. Those were all bloody deals."
Tiger looked disdainful; this was nothing.
You know, last time he was...
"Hello everyone, our convoy is heading to Rongcheng over there. We saw you blocking this road. Is something wrong ahead?" Wei Laicheng knew exactly what they were doing, but he still asked anyway.
Because sometimes, some people are truly forced by life's circumstances.
"Haha, nothing happened up ahead, it's us who's in trouble, brothers, tell them what happened to us?"
"No money, no food, no women!"
After saying that, he burst into unrestrained laughter again.
Wei Laicheng had seen this kind of scene many times before, and his smile didn't change at all as he naturally continued the conversation.
"What price would you offer for us to pass through this road?"
"What price? Young man, you've got the wrong idea. We want the whole thing. Don't think I don't know; I used to do this kind of thing in the underworld."
Who are you trying to fool with that pittance?
"Yes, everything, everything in your car has to be left behind!"
There are no women, otherwise...
The speaker let out a lewd laugh; he didn't even need to say it, almost everyone understood what he meant.
Wei Laicheng's eyes changed, but having been a sports car driver for many years, he quickly regained control of his facial expression.
The problem was that one of the young men who came with Wei Laicheng was a first-time driver and naturally lacked experience.
As soon as the man finished speaking, he couldn't help but look into the driver's seat of Wei Laicheng's car.
After several such incidents, the group naturally sensed that something was amiss.
"Judging from your expressions, you don't actually have a woman hiding in your car, do you?"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, he started walking towards the convoy.
Wei Laicheng's car was facing forward, which meant that once he walked past, Jiang Xixi and her companion would definitely be spotted.
Without any hesitation, Wei Laicheng instantly stood up and blocked the way.
"Brother, we're negotiating here, what are you doing over there?"
How about this? We didn't bring much food with us. How about we give each of you two jin (1 kg)?
They even gave each person one yuan, which is quite generous, isn't it? This toll is certainly generous enough.
But these people have no idea what's good for them.
With Wei Laicheng stopping them, they were almost certain there was a woman in the car.
"Brothers, listen to what he's saying! Hahaha, isn't that hilarious? Come on, let's beat these bastards who love to talk nonsense to the ground, and the food and women in the truck are all ours!"
Tiger, the leader, had a ferocious expression and laughed wildly.
A great war is about to break out...
