Chapter 453 Really Rich
However, as the news of Grain Street was published in newspapers, more and more people came to Fengshi and Grain Street, which even boosted the sales of train tickets in disguise. But food became less and less every day, and Xing Jian began to panic.
He had originally agreed with her to visit her every three months, but this time the food would not last for three months.
During this period of time, Xing Jian had been waiting for her to come to Feng City after seeing the news in the newspaper. Today, he finally got the news. Zhao Yuan was also there at that time. When she heard that the mysterious Sister Gu was coming, she acted as a tail.
Zhao Yuan smiled, her tone unable to conceal her admiration: "Sister Gu, I didn't expect you to be so amazing at such a young age."
Gu Yuehuai smiled and changed the subject, "Comrade Zhao Yuan and Xing Jian seem to be very familiar with each other. Do they come here often?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yuan tucked the hair on the side of her cheek behind her ear, her pretty face full of shy smiles, then turned to look at Xing Jian and whispered, "Brother Xing and I are friends, his business is my business, of course I have to follow him."
These words almost broke the window paper. Gu Yuehuai glanced at Xing Jian with interest, but saw that the latter was holding the cup and drinking water with a dull expression on his face, as if he did not hear the affection in the girl's words.
After drinking two sips of water, Xing Jian put down the cup and said politely to Zhao Yuan: "Well, Comrade Zhao Yuan, it's getting late, why don't you let Lao Qi take you back first? I have something to discuss with Sister Gu, okay?"
For Xing Jian, a man with a bandit-like demeanor, he obviously didn't like such a "pretentious" and "polite" way of speaking. He was full of discomfort in his nitpicking about words. But facing Zhao Yulong's daughter, he really couldn't put on his previous attitude. After all, the entire Grain Street now depended on her father for its livelihood.
Zhao Yuan was somewhat reluctant, but seeing the coldness in Xing Jian's eyes, she still stopped the words in her throat.
She bit her lip, stood up reluctantly, and said after a while: "Okay then."
Xing Jian breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly and called a tall and thin young man in. He was Lao Qi.
The seventh elder was obviously very familiar with Gu Yuehuai. When he saw her, his face was filled with excitement and he called out respectfully, "Sister Gu!"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and nodded at him.
Xing Jian stepped forward and gave Lao Qi a few instructions, and the latter led Zhao Yuan, who kept looking back, out of the warehouse. As soon as she left, the huge warehouse became quiet. Xing Jian breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on a chair with a plop.
"Finally she left. It was really uncomfortable staying with her." Xing Jian put his legs on the table, shaking them like a scoundrel. He even wanted to whistle a few times. He looked completely different from the nonchalant him just now.
Gu Yuehuai shrugged: "If you don't like it, just say it directly, otherwise there will be trouble in the future."
Xing Jian coughed twice, straightened up and looked at Gu Yuehuai: "Are you kidding? Liangjie now relies on Zhao Yulong. Zhao Yuan is his only daughter. Do I need to tell her about her status in his heart? If I reject her, I will be rejecting my backer!"
Gu Yuehuai pulled the corner of his lips and said calmly: "It's not that serious."
"Zhao Yulong cares about the people of Feng City, and you sell grain at a fair price, which not only directly reduces the probability of crime in Feng City, but also indirectly improves the reputation of Feng City. This is a good thing for both Zhao Yulong and the people above him."
"You have now obtained the card for regular food. He will not abandon you for a little personal matter of his daughter."
"What's more, the Zhao Yulong you mentioned is a good person. This is very important. He has no selfish motives. On the contrary, if you keep keeping Zhao Yuan in the dark because of the grain street incident, you might anger Zhao Yulong."
After hearing what she said, Xing Jian fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, he really felt that it was possible.
He nodded and said with a smile: "Listening to Sister Gu's words is really better than reading ten years of books! Okay, since you said so, I will find a chance to make things clear with Zhao Yuan, so that she won't have to run here all day and can't hide."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, then thought of Li Sanniang whom he met at the hideout today, frowned and said, "Today I went to the old place, Cai Lan was still doing that business, I met Li Sanniang, and saved a kidnapped girl."
Xing Jian's eyebrows knitted tightly together. "Li Sanniang has been Cai Lan's person from the beginning. We didn't dare to call her when we moved, fearing that we would indirectly reveal it to Cai Lan. I didn't expect that he would benefit from it."
Gu Yuehuai curled his lips, his smile not reaching his eyes: "I have already transported the food to a nearby countryside. You can go there tonight and transport the food. Also, there is no need to keep the old place, just destroy it."
After hearing this, Xing Jian was delighted and nodded and said, "Sister Gu's work style is neat and tidy. Don't worry, leave it to me!"
The two discussed the recent events on Grain Street for a while, and then Xing Jian said mysteriously, "Sister Gu, now that we've finished talking about business, we should have some fun, right?"
Gu Yuehuai narrowed her beautiful eyes, as if smiling: "Happy? How happy?"
Xing Jian saw her dangerous look and slapped her on the lips: "I didn't make it clear. It's about profit sharing! You can never imagine how much profit we have made during this period. If we share it, I guarantee you will leave happily tonight!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yuehuai also became interested: "Oh? Bring it over and have a look."
She wanted to set up a black market street, one of the reasons was to earn some capital to start a business when the economy opened up. Xing Jian was a good businessman, and if he didn't tamper with the accounts, he would be someone worth cooperating with.
On the contrary, she would let him know tonight why the flowers were so red.
She sat calmly on the chair, watching Xing Jianhe run under a bed like a thief, take out an earthenware jar, and rummage around in it. After a while, he took out a long wooden box and an account book.
Xing Jian ran over with a wooden box and an account book, placed them on the table, and when he opened it, the box full of banknotes appeared before his eyes.
"Here, Sister Gu, this is the account book. Every penny is recorded clearly. Not a single cent is embezzled." Xing Jian patted his chest and spread the account book in front of Gu Yuehuai, and then took out the bundles of banknotes and arranged them.
Gu Yuehuai looked at his expectant expression as he waited for inspection and smiled.
She picked up the account book and flipped through it page by page. From the money spent on renting the warehouse, to the money spent on buying cigarettes and alcohol for Zhao Yulong, to the daily revenue of Grain Street, everything was clearly marked, not even the weight was missing.
On the last page, "Total" was written heavily with a pen: 12,360 yuan.
Gu Yuehuai raised his eyebrows. More than ten thousand yuan, and it was only half a month. It was enough to see how huge the profit was.
Most importantly, the money is pure profit for her.
At this time in her previous life, she was still suffering from family affairs. In this life, she has become a "ten thousand yuan household", one tenth of a millionaire. Just for this reason, her life has not been lived in vain. At least, she can let her family live a rich life.
