The stall owner was an old man. He glanced at Jiang Fei and said, "I have eight trucks. They were used to transport goods. They have been soaked in water, but they have been repaired and are 70% new. They are fine for short distances."
"I just want the jewelry."
The safe house accommodates people from all walks of life.
Jewelry is very popular among the wealthy. A diamond ring can be exchanged for at least a box of supplies.
The social order has not completely collapsed yet, and the end of the world has no impact on the lives of the upper class.
The only ones who suffer are ordinary people at the bottom of society.
That's the reality.
Jiang Fei searched his pockets and took out a ruby necklace from the supermarket warehouse.
"Is this enough?"
In the past, when she went out to look for gold, she also collected a lot of jewelry, which were piled up in the supermarket warehouse and were almost covered with dust.
The old man was an expert. He took the ruby necklace, picked up a dirty little ultraviolet lamp, and looked at it while shining it.
After a moment, the old man smiled and reluctantly returned the necklace to Jiang Fei: "It's not worth it for you to trade it with me."
"Why not wait until this weekend, when some rich ladies will send people to collect jewelry. You can sell it to them and exchange it for food and daily necessities, and even a few brand new trucks."
"I'm in a hurry to use the car and can't wait that long."
Jiang Fei made a price: "One necklace, six trucks. If you don't trade, I'll find someone else."
“Switch, switch, switch!”
Fearing that Jiang Fei would go back on his word, the old man hurriedly took her to a nearby exchange and asked the staff for two exchange certificates.
Each person fills in the trade information on a form, such as the items being traded, date, etc., and then signs and puts their fingerprints on it.
Finally, the staff will stamp the official seal and each person will keep a copy. Their transaction is then half completed, with only the goods left.
This is done to prevent someone from being a rogue and taking other people's supplies and then wanting to get their own things back.
The exchange certificate is the evidence for both parties to prove their innocence.
The old man carefully took the receipt and said, "Girl, you can't drive six trucks by yourself. Give me an address and a time, and I'll find someone to drive over."
"Delivered to the back door of Mingshang Apartment Complex at 5pm."
Jiang Feiduo asked: "Do you know what is needed to open a store in a safe place?"
"I don't know. You can ask at the service desk over there. The exchange is also responsible for managing the market."
"Thank you." Jiang Fei followed the old man's instructions and came to the service desk of the exchange.
"Excuse me, what procedures are required to open a store? What is the process?"
Seeing that Jiang Fei was light-haired and dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't look like someone who could make money. The woman lowered her head to do her nails and said impatiently, "You can't open it even if I ask."
"The exchange is not a place for you to hang out. Leave now, or I'll call security."
Suddenly a green jade pendant caught the woman's eye.
The color is uniform, bright and translucent, and you can tell at first glance that it is high-quality jade.
The woman's attitude instantly became enthusiastic: "To open a store, you need to fill out an application form and submit it to the higher authorities for approval. If it is approved, you can get the business license in about a month."
"If you open a store without a business license and are caught by the authorities, your store will be closed at best, or you may be kicked out of the detention center at worst." The woman lowered her voice:
"But if you know someone in the government and they vouch for you, you can fill out the application form and get the certificate in a week."
Jiang Fei: "Can we find a rescue team?"
"Of course, their application is still fast."
"The rescue team has made a huge contribution to safety, and this is a privilege given to them by the higher-ups."
Then she can ask Xu Qianyao for help.
Jiang Fei put the jade pendant into his pocket and the woman was stunned.
"Isn't this for me?"
"Let me show you."
The woman was so angry that her face sank on the spot.
Jiang Fei ignored him and walked away leisurely. When she was near the gate, she heard someone calling her.
"Jiang Fei?"
The man standing not far away had gentle features and dimples on his cheeks, making him look like a cheerful brother next door.
The man looked at Jiang Fei in surprise: "I thought I had made a mistake, but it turned out to be you."
"I'm your senior, Xu Yichen. We once hosted a school anniversary event together. You were so shy that your face turned red. Do you still remember me?"
Jiang Fei almost lost control and shot the man dead.
Xu Yichen was the scumbag who sold Yu Xuanjiao into the village together with her!
When she was in college, Xu Yichen was a celebrity in the Department of Architecture. He was also a gentle, considerate and gentleman. Like everyone else, she was deceived by his appearance and became his fan girl.
But because of her inferiority complex, she didn't dare to express her feelings and hid her love deep in her heart.
Until the end of the world, I met Yu Xuanjiao and Xu Yichen.
She treated Yu Xuanjiao as her best friend and shared this secret with her.
As soon as Xu Yichen knew that she had a crush on him, he started to do PUA.
They treated her as a scapegoat, free labor, and even tried to trick her into selling her body in exchange for supplies.
The most disgusting thing was that after she refused, Xu Yichen got angry and refused to eat or drink.
She fawned over Xu Yichen and worked even harder to find supplies. It was simply... stupid!
Noticing the name tag on Xu Yichen's chest that read "Manager", Jiang Fei suppressed his hatred and greeted him naturally: "Senior, long time no see."
"Are you the manager of the exchange?"
Xu Yichen straightened his chest and pretended to be modest: "I'm just looking for an ordinary job here, don't be so reserved."
"I just heard you asking about opening a store. What kind of store are you planning to open?"
Jiang Fei lied: "Coffin shop."
Specially burying rotten people like you.
"Um...there really isn't a store like this in the Security Bureau right now."
"As you know, the approval process is quite troublesome, and there are many materials to prepare for the application to open a store. Let's find some time to talk while eating."
He saw the jade pendant that Jiang Fei took out.
Judging from her nonchalant attitude, there should be quite a lot left. I can take this opportunity to get more benefits.
Recalling the map of the security station, Jiang Fei chose a place: "Then let's meet at the Baixing Noodle House at 12 noon tomorrow. I'll treat you to a meal."
Guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience.
"Yes." Xu Yichen agreed immediately, and even helped Jiang Fei open the door and sent her out of the exchange.
—
At 5 pm, Lu Yu and his team returned.
The old man asked someone to drive six trucks to the back gate of Mingshang Apartment Complex.
The truck was a bit shabby and the paint was old and dull.
One of the trucks was loaded with two 100-liter barrels of gasoline, which was a gift from the old man to Jiang Fei.
The value of the ruby necklace was far more than these, so he felt uneasy about exchanging it.
Jiang Fei gave the ruby necklace to the old man.
The old man took out 6 car keys.
The deal between the two was officially completed.
After the old man led his men away, Jiang Fei looked around and made sure that no one was paying attention to this side. He immediately put the supplies from the 21st and 22nd floors into the carriages of 6 trucks.
After locking each carriage door, Jiang Fei took two large bags of dry goods and went to Room 201 of Building 5.
Old Mrs. Xu opened the door.
It got dark early and the kerosene lamps were already lit in the house.
Xu Qianyao had just returned and was taking off his coat in the living room.
"Jiang girl, you just came, why are you taking things?"
Jiang Fei told the truth: "I have something to ask Captain Xu."
"Then you guys chat, I'll pour you a glass of water." Old Mrs. Xu tactfully went into the kitchen.
Jiang Fei told Xu Qianyao that he wanted to open a small supermarket.
After listening, Xu Qianyao readily agreed: "Opening a store is a small matter. It can help the government share the pressure of materials. I will help you write an application form and act as a guarantor."
Xu Qianyao suddenly laughed: "Do you want to join the rescue team?"
"Temporary rescue team members don't have to go to work every day. They can come when they are on a mission, but their points will be less, 10 points per month."
"If you become a formal member of the rescue team, you need to go to work every day, and you can receive 150 points per month, including three meals."
Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment: "What will happen if the rescue team breaks the rules?"
Is there a privilege to hit someone?
