Chapter 128 Maybe someone broke the law?
She knew the moral character of the Chen family members best. Once she had a suspicion, she would never give up until she got to the bottom of it.
"How could you possibly leave when you've made money?" Mr. Qian was puzzled.
Chen Jinyue didn't know either.
Old Qian affirmed to himself, "That's impossible. Everyone should still give me some face. Besides, revealing your situation will not benefit anyone!"
Chen Jinyue asked directly, "Boss Zhang, is he in the store today?"
Mr. Qian, “…”
Forget this villain!
He had previously cheated Yu Jianing and was now plotting against Chen Jinyue.
Zhou Yichuan gave me a hard time on the opening day, and then I didn't get to buy anything good. I must be holding a grudge...
Half an hour later.
Chen Jinyue arrived at the antique street.
When I walked into Qian's store, I found that several old men were there, including Yu Jianing. Everyone had already reviewed what had just happened.
Some of them stammered, looking guilty.
"That old man is so shrewd. He only asked what had happened, and even led with questions like, 'Has anything happened?'"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know he even pretended to be in the same business as me to fool me? He even said he had given the goods to Xiao Yue!"
"Xiao Yue, we didn't do it on purpose, and we didn't expect him to be so clever!"
“…”
Old Qian puffed out his beard and glared, wanting to curse.
Chen Jinyue had calmed down after coming all the way here. "It's okay. The old man was also the director of a factory in the county when he was young. He is very good at dealing with people."
"That old guy is so smart! It's hard to guard against him!" An old man sighed.
The group of old men exchanged pleasantries for a while, then said goodbye one after another.
As soon as they left, Yu Jianing spoke first, "Sister Yue, why don't you hire a couple more bodyguards? They know you've made so much money, and I wonder what big moves you're planning!"
For the first time, Jiang Zixing, the invisible man, protested before his employer, "Are you questioning my business capabilities?"
The low pressure around him was released instantly, and the air was filled with a dangerous atmosphere.
Yu Jianing smiled awkwardly, "That's not what I meant. Isn't it mainly because I'm worried that you won't be able to handle it?"
He is the only one around Chen Jinyue, so he is asked to do everything.
There will inevitably be a time to leave.
"My biggest responsibility is to protect my employer's safety. I will only leave when I am sure the environment is safe." Jiang Zixing explained coldly.
Yu Jianing pursed her lips and disagreed.
That being said, what if there are special circumstances...
The two could not convince each other about this situation, and Chen Jinyue fell silent.
Looking at her like this, Mr. Qian whispered, "Girl, what are your plans now?"
"I was thinking, given that old woman's shameless character, it's impossible for her to just leave like that after knowing about my store." Chen Jinyue spoke slowly.
"There are cameras everywhere on this street, so they don't dare to do anything rash."
"Also, my impression is that the old man knows nothing about antiques. He just came over to ask about it, and he actually listed some things to test others..."
"It's obvious how much research he has done to investigate you?" Old Qian frowned and guessed.
"Are the cultural relics listed by the bosses just now all those that cannot be sold?" Chen Jinyue suddenly asked.
Mr. Qian nodded. "You're an amateur after all. You haven't done enough homework."
Chen Jinyue shook his head, "Is it possible that that was also a test?"
Qian Lao was confused by what she said, "Testing whether you have done anything illegal?"
This doesn't make sense.
Even if Chen Jinyue breaks the law, the property will not fall into their hands.
At that time, it will be more difficult to withdraw money from the frozen assets than to ask for it from Chen Jinyue.
Chen Jinyue's eyes flickered slightly, and he thought of a possibility...
Maybe someone broke the law?
…
After leaving Qian Lao's shop, Chen Jinyue sent a message to Wan Kui, "Can you help me check something?"
Wan Kui replied quickly, "You said."
After sending the message and putting away her phone, Chen Jinyue asked Manager Zhang to help her ask if there were any agricultural baskets for sale nearby.
I want the largest size.
"Basket? What do you need it for?" Manager Zhang was a little confused.
He heard what Chen Jinyue did in the afternoon and asked Jiang Zixing to help her buy a storage basket.
It seems that he is used as a basket.
"If we produce it right away because the customer needs it, it would be a bit late," Chen Jinyue explained.
Manager Zhang was troubled. "This thing might be hard to buy. Everything around here is industrially made. Traditional weaving is too time-consuming, so not many people do it anymore."
Moreover, with the full mechanization of agriculture, there is no need for these.
In their village, they use tricycles to collect things...
Chen Jinyue nodded and said, "Ask first. If that doesn't work, buy a storage basket."
At this moment, Jiang Zixing, the co-pilot, suddenly asked.
"How much do you want?"
“…”
Manager Zhang and Chen Jinyue turned to look at him at the same time, their eyes filled with surprise.
Jiang Zixing explained, "My grandfather can do it."
Chen Jinyue was a little skeptical, "Is it made right now? Will it be slow? I want a large quantity."
Jiang Zixing nodded and said, "We have stock, a few hundred are no problem, and other families in our village also make them."
"What about the price?" Purely handmade ones should not be cheap.
Jiang Zixing was silent for a moment, "You can charge it based on the storage basket you bought today."
Chen Jinyue immediately became interested. "Okay, give them a call and ask. If there's no problem, we'll go get it right away!"
Jiang Zixing contacted his family and Manager Zhang contacted the car. The three of them quickly got it done and set off directly.
Jiang Zixing's hometown is in a rural area near the provincial capital.
More than one hundred kilometers.
The days are very short in autumn.
It was almost dark when the three of them arrived at their destination.
The pristine countryside path made Chen Jinyue sigh with emotion. "Your salary as a bodyguard isn't low, right? Why is your hometown so remote?"
With an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, you can save enough for a down payment in a year and buy an apartment in the provincial capital.
"Old people are not used to living in the city, and there are many places to spend money." Jiang Zixing answered concisely.
He spoke very little and only answered one question at a time.
If he hadn't been the one to initiate this matter, he would have just followed along silently without saying a word.
Chen Jinyue was not a talkative person, so the topic ended quickly.
However, Manager Zhang's casual chat made the night journey less lonely.
The end of the path in just over ten minutes.
Several small houses appeared in the sight of several people.
The sparse, dim lights, like dim stars, dot the dark and boundless night sky.
Chen Jinyue looked at these isolated houses and suddenly thought of his grandmother's house.
That's how she remembers it too.
Very quiet.
Very deserted.
There are very few residents around here, and those who remain are all people who stubbornly guard their old houses.
That is, Chen Jie later cried and made a fuss, taking her to the county town to work as a servant, which led to the death of the two elderly people who were the few people in the world who had given her warmth. She didn't even get to see them for the last time...
In the moment she was distracted, a flashlight beam came over, followed by the old man's joyful voice.
"Zihang? Your boss is here? Come on, come inside and sit down!"
Jiang Zixing, who was standing beside him, took a few quick steps forward and supported the old man. His usually cold voice finally showed some warmth. "Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to wait at home?"
"This path is remote and there's no lighting. It's different from your big cities. I'm worried you won't be able to see the road!"
“…”
