Zhong Wanwan arrived at the entrance of the scrap metal recycling station, bowed her head, and greeted the old man:
"Sir, I'd like to go inside and pick out some comic books. Could you please do me that?"
The old man was startled by Zhong Wanwan's physique. In this day and age, there are still women who can get so fat? Their family must be very well-off!
The old man waved his hand and said:
"Go in and choose for yourself, then take your selection out and weigh it!"
Zhong Wanwan walked heavily toward the direction in which she had just heard Bai Yueyao speak.
The location was easy to find, but Zhong Wanwan looked for a long time but couldn't find the leak.
Zhong Wanwan was a little troubled. Where could the two of them have hidden the things? She had searched the whole place, how could they not find them!
Just as Zhong Wanwan was racking her brains, she caught a glimpse of the locked warehouse next to her out of the corner of her eye.
Zhong Wanwan had been focused on finding something, and although she saw the warehouse, she hadn't considered other possibilities. Now, however, she felt something was amiss.
It's not unusual for a scrap metal recycling station to have a storage room, but why is it locked?
With so many people coming and going, it's so inconvenient to lock the door when there are so many things inside!
Zhong Wanwan moved closer and saw that the window had been pried open. She gently opened the window and found a series of closed boxes inside.
Zhong Wanwan smiled knowingly. She wondered why Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan were so happy!
Zhong Wanwan gently opened the box, which was filled with all kinds of jewelry.
Zhong Wanwan understood immediately; this must be the base where the local red armbands stored their illicit items.
Since it belonged to this group of "bandits," she felt no guilt about taking it!
It's better for her to get a good deal than for Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan to get a good deal!
Zhong Wanwan waved her hand and took the box and its contents inside.
After putting away her things, Zhong Wanwan took out a small rag and wiped away her fingerprints and footprints!
Although no one usually identifies fingerprints and footprints at this point, it's always better to be safe than sorry. Money can unleash a person's unlimited potential, and with so much money, there's no way to overlook any clues.
Restoring things to their original state is something Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan need to consider; she just needs to erase her own traces!
After finishing all that, Zhong Wanwan didn't rush to leave. She found the three sets of junior and senior high school textbooks she needed in the pile of waste paper, then took the textbooks and went to the old man to pay for them.
The old man didn't pay much attention when he saw that they were textbooks. He weighed them, took the money from Zhong Wanwan, bundled the books into two stacks, and let Zhong Wanwan take them away.
Zhong Wanwan, carrying two stacks of books, slowly walked out of the recycling station like a penguin under the old man's watchful gaze.
As Zhong Wanwan reached the door, she could still hear the old man muttering to himself:
"She's really fat! She has trouble walking!"
Even after leaving the recycling station, Zhong Wanwan didn't quicken her pace; she still walked at a snail's pace for quite a distance.
Zhong Wanwan slipped into a public restroom she saw, found it empty, and then unloaded her equipment inside her spatial dimension.
Although it's late September and the weather in An County is already quite cool, Zhong Wanwan, who is bundled up in various fabrics and clothes, is still unbearably hot!
After taking off her clothes, Zhong Wanwan was completely soaked, and the sticky sweat made her very uncomfortable.
Zhong Wanwan returned to her auto repair shop and quickly took a shower in the staff shower room, only then did she feel completely revitalized!
After taking a shower, Zhong Wanwan glanced at her watch and realized it was time to meet Xia Ning. Without further delay, she quickly put on the clothes she had brought, left the space, and headed straight for the state-run restaurant.
As they approached the vicinity, they found a blind spot and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhong Wanwan took out the two sacks of things she had prepared.
Shouldering one sack and struggling to move another, Zhong Wanwan entered the state-run restaurant.
Seeing Zhong Wanwan arrive, Xia Ning quickly ran over and took the sack from Zhong Wanwan's hands, saying:
“Zhong Zhiqing, why didn’t you tell me you bought so much stuff? I could have gone with you. It must have been so hard for you to carry all that stuff all the way!”
Zhong Wanwan explained:
"I didn't originally intend to buy so much, but when I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw that I could use this, and that everyone's family needed it, so I ended up buying more and more!"
The two of them placed their things against the wall, and Xia Ning told Zhong Wanwan to sit and rest for a while before going to the window to order food.
Today, the state-run restaurant served braised pork and fish in tomato sauce. Xia Ning loves fish, and when she saw the fish in tomato sauce, her eyes lit up. Without hesitation, she ordered both meat dishes, along with two large bowls of rice and four steamed buns.
When Xia Ning goes to state-run restaurants with Tang Zixuan and Bai Yueyao, she rarely gets to eat fish.
Because Bai Yueyao doesn't like to eat fish and is quite fussy, whenever Xia Ning orders fish, Bai Yueyao covers her nose and looks aggrieved, saying that it's okay if she doesn't eat it, as long as Xia Ning eats well!
Tang Zixuan would scold Xia Ning for not considering other people's feelings. Over time, Xia Ning also felt that it was unnecessary to make everyone unhappy over a dish.
Carrying the tomato-sauce fish and braised pork back to her seat, Xia Ning suddenly remembered that Zhong Wanwan was also eating with her. She had been so happy with the tomato-sauce fish that she had forgotten to ask Zhong Wanwan's opinion. Xia Ning said apologetically:
"Zhong Zhiqing, I'm sorry, I forgot to ask if you eat fish. If you can't stand the fishy smell, I'll pack it in a lunchbox and take it back with me!"
Zhong Wanwan was also very happy to see the fish in tomato sauce. She loves fish, and her favorite is fish in tomato sauce. She exclaimed with delight:
"They're serving tomato-sauce fish today! That's wonderful! I'll get some to take back to Songbai and Baiyang later!"
Xia Ning was pleased to see that Zhong Wanwan also loved eating fish and said:
"You like fish too? We have the same taste! I especially love fish!"
"Bai Yueyao couldn't stand the smell of fish before, and she would always argue with Tang Zixuan about ordering fish!"
Zhong Wanwan curled her lip in disdain at Bai Yueyao's pretentious behavior and said:
"A bitch is just being pretentious!"
With a quick glance around her eyes, Zhong Wanwan suggested:
"Help Bai Zhiqing spread the word. He really can't stand the smell of fish. When the farm distributes fish later, don't let Bai Zhiqing get disgusted!"
Hearing this, Xia Ning chuckled and winked at Zhong Wanwan, saying:
"It's all thanks to you that I have a solution. I'll also buy another serving of tomato fish later, so that everyone knows Bai Yueyao's preferences!"
After Xia Ning finished speaking, he thought of Bai Yueyao's embarrassed look when she turned around to divide the fish, and all his past unpleasantness disappeared!
Just as the two of them were about to eat after setting out the food, a couple of spoilsport walked in!
