The seafood market opened on time at 10 a.m. the next morning.
Staff members in orange uniforms lined up boxes of seafood that had been laid out.
A large, bluish-black lobster weighing a full pound.
Large squid arranged neatly.
There are also knife fish with silvery-white eyes and bright red eyes.
A turbot as big as a washbasin.
Ye Ning looked it over while asking the price.
"How do I exchange this turbot?" Ye Ning pointed to the largest one.
"Three packs of instant noodles or other foods with the same calories."
If this were before the end of the world, such a large turbot would be worth at least a hundred packs of instant noodles.
“Okay!” Ye Ning took out three packets of instant noodles directly from the bag.
I'll have Sister Li steam it when I get home today, it'll be delicious!
"How do I exchange the squid?" Ye Ning went to the box where the large squid was placed.
"One pack of instant noodles is two jin (1 kg)." The staff member said very attentively.
"Just give me two cases!"
Grilled squid, an essential accompaniment to barbecues, you have to order several boxes of it.
"How about we exchange the lobster?" Ye Ning pointed to the lobster again.
"One packet of instant noodles and one [piece of noodles]".
"Take ten!" Ye Ning said generously.
In addition to the more traditional seafood, there are also some strangely shaped and mutated seafood.
Because nobody recognizes these seafood items, they are basically ignored.
Ye Ning bought two boxes at a very low price.
Just as Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen were shopping together at the seafood market.
Zhou Haiyuan, the second son of Xinyuan Group, who delivered a speech at the donation ceremony yesterday, also visited the seafood market.
"How did the exchange go today?" Zhou Haiyuan asked, dressed in a well-tailored blue-gray suit and wearing a tortoiseshell bracelet, exuding a powerful aura.
The person in charge of the seafood market bowed and scraped, following closely behind him.
"The situation is not as good as we expected! About ten truckloads of seafood were sold today."
Zhou Haiyuan glanced at him indifferently, "That's normal! Lower the price again tomorrow! Make sure to maintain the trading volume."
Although seafood tastes delicious, it is not the first choice for people who are hungry because seafood is relatively low in calories, not as good as starchy foods, and not as convenient to eat or easy to store as instant noodles.
Furthermore, the citizens themselves didn't have much food left, and many were relying on relief to survive, so where would they find extra supplies to exchange for seafood?
“But if we lower the price further, we won’t make any profit!” the manager said hurriedly.
"You don't need to worry about these things, you just need to do as instructed. The most important thing right now is to establish the trading market."
"I'm going to take a stroll in the market. Don't follow me yet," Zhou Haiyuan said, turning to his bodyguards behind him.
"Yes, Second Young Master!" the bodyguards replied respectfully.
As Zhou Haiyuan walked, he observed the market. From afar, he spotted the large and small boxes on Ye Ning's cart.
Someone actually exchanged for so much at once!
Zhou Haiyuan couldn't resist going closer to see what was going on.
But the closer he got, the more familiar the young couple in front of him seemed, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
"Are you... Miss Ye?" Zhou Haiyuan asked tentatively.
He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen the woman in front of him at a banquet before.
Whose wife is she? Right! She seems to be Li Churan's ex-wife, the one who caused such a stir a while ago because she was cheated on. I think her surname is Ye.
"Who are you? Mr. Zhou?" Ye Ning suddenly turned around, looking at Zhou Haiyuan who had suddenly appeared, her eyes filled with vigilance.
As a former member of the upper class in City A, she naturally knew the famous Zhou Haiyuan.
Zhou Haiyuan, how did he suddenly appear here?
"Is Mr. Zhou here to inspect the seafood market?" Ye Ning asked first, her tone neither humble nor arrogant, polite yet distant.
“That’s right!” Zhou Haiyuan sized up Ye Ning without making a sound.
Her skin was fair and radiant, and her expression was composed, clearly indicating that she had lived a life of luxury.
Didn't they say she and Li Churan were divorced? How come she seems to be living a pretty comfortable life? Did she find another backer?
"Miss Ye, in your opinion, is there anything about our seafood market that needs improvement?" Zhou Haiyuan asked politely.
Ye Ning didn't want to get entangled with him any further. This Zhou Haiyuan appeared to be a gentleman, but in reality, he was known for his sinister actions and unpredictable temper.
"I don't know much about these things, but since it was Mr. Zhou who prepared it, there's naturally nothing wrong with it. Mr. Zhou, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now!"
Ye Ning, pulling her stroller, brushed past Zhou Haiyuan.
"Miss Ye, wait!" Zhou Haiyuan stretched out his arm to stop her.
Xiao Jingchen, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped in front of Ye Ning to block her.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou, we have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now!" Xiao Jingchen looked directly into Zhou Haiyuan's eyes without any fear.
"Ye Ning, let's go!" Without waiting for Zhou Haiyuan's reply, Xiao Jingchen grabbed Ye Ning and left without looking back.
As Zhou Haiyuan watched Xiao Jingchen and Ye Ning leave, a playful smile appeared on his lips.
"Interesting!" He saw something familiar in that young man.
That was a special feeling of encountering someone of the same kind; that young man was definitely not simple.
"Go and investigate that young man," Zhou Haiyuan instructed his attendants, then turned back to continue inspecting the seafood market.
"That scared me to death! What bad luck to run into Zhou Haiyuan here." The uncomfortable feeling of being watched didn't completely disappear until they left the trading market.
"Looks like I'll have to be more careful from now on!" Ye Ning breathed a sigh of relief.
From the moment she first saw Zhou Haiyuan, she felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she were being watched by something strange. This was probably due to her natural fear of Xinyuan Group from her past life.
Xiao Jingchen squeezed Ye Ning's hand back. "Ye Ning, you don't need to be afraid of him. With me here, you have nothing to fear!"
"Okay! Jingchen, I understand!" Ye Ning leaned on Xiao Jingchen's shoulder. She knew that with Jingchen by her side, she had nothing to be afraid of.
"By the way, Jingchen, what do you want to eat tonight? How about braised kiwi? I haven't had it in ages! Or how about steamed crayfish?" Ye Ning asked coquettishly.
"You little glutton, all you can think about is food. Hmm! Let me think, how about I eat you?" Xiao Jingchen grinned mischievously.
"Ugh!" Ye Ning covered her face shyly. Was this still the shy and handsome boy she remembered? Or had she never truly understood him before?
