"This is not a question of whether to wear close protection or not!" At this point, Lin Ximan closed her mouth again, let out a long breath, and compromised helplessly: "Okay, how many days do I have to cooperate? Just play the role of your childhood sweetheart?"
Hearing the words "little childhood sweetheart", Rong Jingchen burst out laughing, glanced at Lin Ximan and said with a smile: "Little childhood sweetheart? These three words are very accurate, let's call it little childhood sweetheart. The preliminary estimate is 7 to 10 days, and then I will send you away."
"Go again? You'll have to pay for it!" Lin Ximan said angrily.
Rong Jingchen laughed a few times and replied in a good mood: "Well, I'll reimburse you."
"Don't laugh. What about the letter of introduction? You need to figure it out." A letter of introduction is required to stay in a guesthouse.
Speaking of business, Rong Jingchen also said seriously: "I know this, let's go to a place first, and then take you to the guesthouse."
After saying that, he turned the steering wheel and drove left into another street.
After parking the car in a spacious place, the two got out. Rong Jingchen gave her a mask and asked her to wear it. Then he took her around in the alleys. Finally, at the entrance of an alley, he gave 40 cents to an old man who was sitting there basking in the sun and took her into the alley.
Oh my god! Why is this scene so familiar? Why is it so similar to the routine she used when she first went to the black market? As a result, when she entered the alley, she found that this was really the black market in Longcheng County.
Rong Jingchen smiled when he saw her surprised look, and thought to himself: It seems that this little girl has never been to the black market, look at her foxy eyes.
Not to mention that Rong Jingchen actually guessed it right, but it’s not that he had never been to the black market, it’s that he had never been to the black market in Longcheng County.
She was a supplier to the black market, so what could she buy? Besides, rabbits don't eat grass near their nests, so she never thought of getting involved in the black market in Longcheng County.
"You walk around here first. I'll go find someone and be back soon." Rong Jingchen had to go out to do some work, so naturally he couldn't take her with him.
Lin Ximan nodded sensibly. Since she was in the black market, of course she had to take a good look.
It is now 1977. Due to policy reasons, the crackdown on the black market has become increasingly relaxed. Now many people come here to sell things, and they have everything.
She looked at each store one by one, listened to people asking for prices, and compared them with the prices she sold, wondering whether some items would increase in price or decrease in price.
When I was halfway through my walk, I saw a man standing there holding something. The thing was wrapped in cloth and I couldn't see what was inside. From his expression, it seemed like he wanted to open it and sell it but didn't dare to.
Lin Ximan was very curious. Looking at what he was holding, it felt like an old item or something, but it was different from an old item, otherwise he wouldn't have that expression.
So she walked up to him and asked, "Uncle, what are you selling? Can I see it?" The uncle looked her up and down and replied, "Hat."
Hat? Old stuff?
"Can I take a look? How can I buy it if I don't see it?" Just take a look at the old things.
The uncle looked at her again, and then carefully opened a corner of the cloth. She didn't see it clearly, but she saw that it was something inlaid with diamonds.
She was delighted and said, "Uncle, how about we go to a place where there are no people and have a good talk? There are so many people here, and I can't see clearly!"
The uncle looked her up and down for the third time, thought about it, and nodded.
The two men walked to the end of the black market, one after the other. There were not many people here, so they stood in a corner away from others.
The uncle then opened the cloth completely, and what came into view was a crown inlaid with diamonds, and at the top was a huge ruby.
This can no longer be called a hat. Judging from the style, it should be the work of a foreign designer. Having seen many treasures, she was relieved to know that the crown in front of her was not a fake.
"Uncle, I want this thing. How much do you want to sell it for?" I have to buy it no matter how much it costs.
The uncle hesitated for a long time and finally stated his request: "I want one thousand yuan, two hundred kilograms of fine grains, and five hundred kilograms of coarse grains."
"No, uncle, you are being ridiculous. You should know the current price of this thing. Isn't this asking for an exorbitant price? If you really want to sell it, just tell me the real price." The uncle wanted something that was a piece of cake for Lin Ximan, but she couldn't just agree to it, otherwise it would make him feel that she was losing money. The uncle said stubbornly, "This is the price. It's not cheap."
"Uncle, it's not convenient for me to give you the food now. How about converting it into money? Or you can come with me to get the food? Are you at ease?" She couldn't leave now. She didn't know when Rong Jingchen would come to find her. It would be best if she could solve the problem with money.
The uncle seemed to be uneasy about following others, and after thinking for a while he said, "Then I'll take 1,200 yuan without food."
"Deal." Lin Ximan agreed immediately after hearing this.
She took out 1,200 yuan from her bag (space), and the two exchanged the money and the goods. In order to smuggle things out of the space, she always carried a larger bag.
Look, this crown can be put into the bag. Of course, she just put it into the space with the help of the bag as a cover. What if this thing breaks or drills? Of course, she has to find a good place to put it.
The uncle quickly left the black market with the money, and Lin Ximan also walked into the crowd in front, as if the transaction between the two had never happened.
She was strolling slowly in the second half, and Rong Jingchen found her at this time. Seeing that he was holding a bag of fruit, Lin Ximan looked at the fruit and found it familiar. Wasn't it what she sold? Good guy! It came back to her after so many twists and turns?
From an outsider's point of view, Rong Jingchen was just here to buy fruit for his little Qingmei at the black market, nothing wrong with that. But when he took out the letter of introduction at the guesthouse, she knew that he was going to the black market for this letter of introduction.
When the waiter took them to the room, Lin Ximan started her work again. "Brother Chen, I came all the way to see you, you can't just work and ignore me!"
Rong Jingchen seemed very happy about her dedication and smiled very gently: "Okay, I won't ignore you. You are tired today, so take a good rest first. Brother Chen will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?" Lin Ximan smiled as if she succeeded and said, "That's not all."
The waitress brought the person to the room and opened the door for her. After explaining some things, she said to Rong Jingchen, "Men can't stay too long." After saying that, she looked at Rong Jingchen with a strange look before going downstairs.
