Chapter 34: Insignificant
Whether using force to drive Cheng Yingzi away or directly overturning her stall, it was all reasonable in her opinion!
Therefore, if Cheng Yingzi dared to come here again today and engage in a price war with them, she was ready to let Cao Yangfei bring a group of people to completely smash the other party's stall.
When Song Weiwei heard about the chance to have a face-to-face fight with Cheng Yingzi, she was immediately extremely excited. "No problem! If she dares to show up here, we'll teach her a lesson!"
After the specific plan was finalized, several people immediately began to act.
According to the division of labor, Song Weiwei was responsible for making cleaning agents;
And Shen Yan went to Huating Road to purchase the necessary raw materials.
Zhu Jingchen returned to his residence only after he confirmed that everyone had completed the purchasing task.
To ensure safety, he stayed there for a while longer.
"Brother Jingchen, you'd better go with Shen Yan to deal with the purchasing. I'm busy making cleaning agents for sale now." Song Weiwei said to him.
Zhu Jingchen nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll go over and help."
Chen Yan had contacted Lin Youfa in advance yesterday and told him to prepare the goods. The purchasing process was very smooth.
As soon as today arrived, Shen Yan and Zhu Jingchen came to the market.
After they confirmed the quantity and quality of the jeans, they paid and left.
The entrance to Huating Road Market is already filled with all kinds of three-wheeled motorcycles.
These vehicles are specially prepared for people who need to transport goods.
Of course, there are also many local business people who choose to transport goods by bicycle.
Although this mode of transportation is slower, it is flexible, convenient, and does not require any additional payment.
Chen Yan and her friends didn't have bicycles, so they relied on three-wheeled motorcycles to get around.
Whenever a large amount of cargo has to be transported, this mode of transport is always chosen.
Today was no exception. They rented another three-wheeled motorcycle to transport the goods back.
On the way, Shen Yan said to Zhu Jingchen: "Brother Jingchen, if you have other things to do today, you don't have to take the time to help us."
"Two people are enough to handle these tasks." Shen Yan added.
She felt that this mission was not complicated and could be easily accomplished by two people, so there was no need to trouble Zhu Jingchen.
Zhu Jingchen, however, carried two large bags of goods onto the tricycle and said, "I don't have anything else to do."
"I'm free anyway, so it's nice to follow you guys around." Zhu Jingchen continued.
Shen Yan really didn't believe that he had nothing else to do.
Did he stay at home every time he came out of the manor on previous weekends?
She guessed secretly in her heart, but did not ask any more questions.
The world today is not as developed as it will be in a few decades.
In the future, communication between friends can rely entirely on social media such as WeChat or Douyin, so they can stay in touch anytime and anywhere.
However, nowadays, people find it a luxury to even make daily phone calls, let alone those online social tools.
Most people don’t have mobile phones, not even the ability to send text messages.
The only feasible way is to call the pager service center and ask the staff to help send a short message to the other party's pager.
This type of message is very short, such as "See you at 8 o'clock in the evening" or "Happy birthday", and can only have about ten words.
Despite its brevity, the message was costly to convey.
In that era, it was not easy to send such a text message.
A pager that can display Chinese characters costs more than 2,000 yuan!
Such a price is undoubtedly a considerable expense for many ordinary families.
The big brothers mentioned earlier, such as the mobile phone that Lin Youfa used, are simply unaffordable for ordinary people.
Not only because its price is as high as 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, but even if you can afford it, there are many limitations in terms of signal.
Most people today have to find their friends in person and connect with them face to face.
Thinking of this, Shen Yan felt a little guilty, thinking that it was really too much work for Zhu Jingchen to put down what he was doing and come to help them carry things.
He should go and meet up with his friends to relax.
Why should I follow them around here and suffer this?
Shen Yan thought silently in her heart.
Shen Yan hesitated to speak...
She wanted to tell him that he didn't have to be too kind, and didn't have to always put helping others first;
The girls can handle it on their own.
However, he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
But thinking about what happened last week, they really need help if they encounter any emergency.
If Zhu Jingchen hadn't appeared at the critical moment last time, things might not have been resolved as smoothly as they are now.
After realizing this, Shen Yan decided not to dwell on it anymore.
Well, since he said he was going to watch the fun, she would assume that he really was just going to watch the fun.
Later, she and Zhu Jingchen took a taxi and returned to Zhu Jingchen's home together.
Sitting in the taxi, the two were silent, occasionally making eye contact.
Song Weiwei had prepared the cleaning agents early on, and placed the bottles neatly on the curb at the door, waiting for Chen Yan and Zhu Jingchen to arrive.
As soon as Shen Yan and Zhu Jingchen's car stopped, they began to get out of the car and started carrying bottles of cleaning agents into the car.
Each person rode a tricycle to carry the goods. Because they had so much stuff, they couldn't take it all away at once, so they had to transport it in batches.
In addition to carrying cleaning agents, in order to set up the stall smoothly tomorrow, they also have to go to the small shop run by Bai Fengzhu to get some necessary tools.
No one expected that when they arrived in front of Bai Fengzhu's shop, they would see an extremely unusual scene: Zhang Xinying was lying on the ground crying, and the people around her were attracted by her crying.
"You cruel and ruthless woman, Bai Fengzhu!" Zhang Xinying shouted at Bai Fengzhu angrily.
"And that brat Zhu Jingchen, where did you hide him?"
"Let him come out to see me right now!"
"Today I want to see with my own eyes how there can be such a heartless and ungrateful son in the world who doesn't even care that his own father is dying!"
During the quarrel, Zhang Xinying's son also arrived at the scene.
He was about 1.78 meters tall, wearing a neat suit and looked energetic.
Perhaps because of the similarity in appearance, people feel that he looks a bit like Zhu Jingchen's late father Rong Yeping.
It has to be admitted that Zhu Jingchen is quite handsome, and Zhang Xinying's son is also good-looking. The two can be said to be on par in appearance.
But the latter's eyes were contemptuous and provocative, making people feel uncomfortable.
He stared at Bai Fengzhu with a squinting look, "Auntie, Zhu Jingchen isn't even a member of your family, so why are you trying so hard to help him?"
He asked coldly, a hint of confusion in his tone.
"You just have to tell us where he is."
"Once we know his exact location, we will naturally stop disturbing your life."
"Why do you have to make yourself miserable over a nobody?"
