Chapter 171 Taking Advantage of the Fire
A slim-fitting dress, leather shoes, and fair skin painted with foundation. Is this still the Ye Ying who made people feel dazzled when they looked at her for a second longer?
Feeling Ji Lianqi's strange gaze, Ye Ying suddenly became a little uneasy.
She only dresses up a little more elaborately when she goes out for "important things". She usually goes out with no makeup on at home.
So when Ji Lianqi saw her yesterday, although he was surprised, he was able to recognize her.
Then, could she attribute Ji Lianqi's gaze at this moment to... surprise?
Never mind, just take it as it is!
Thinking of this, Ye Ying couldn't help but secretly tease in her heart: "Little guy, look at me and I'll kill you!"
Pretending not to notice the deepness in Ji Lianqi's eyes, Ye Ying said, "So you have to stay here by yourself."
"Maybe if you want to go out and look around, I'll give you the key!"
Ji Lianqi turned his eyes away and said coldly, "No, I'll just stay by myself."
Afterwards, Ye Ying went out with Guo Fan.
The moment the door closed, Ji Lianqi's hands had quietly clenched.
I didn't even realize it.
Seeing Ye Ying and the man with glasses walking side by side, he suddenly felt a little depressed.
There were two breakfasts on the table, but Ye Ying didn't touch either one.
He remembered that the man with glasses said she liked to eat rice noodles.
I don't know what his mentality was, but he opened it.
So this is what is called intestine rice noodles?
He tasted it and surprisingly found it quite good. It was indeed better than the buns he bought.
Before he knew it, he had finished the breakfast that Guo Fan brought for Ye Ying.
By the time he discovered it, it was too late.
So the next morning, Ye Ying got up early as usual to do rope skipping to lose weight. When she came back, there was already a fresh and hot bowl of egg and lean meat rice noodles on the table.
Ye Ying was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses in an instant.
She glanced around the palm-sized room and saw no sign of Ji Lianqi.
I bought myself breakfast, but where did you go now?
After waiting for a while and still seeing no one, she decided to keep it all to herself.
Yesterday, Guo Fan and I went to see Mr. Chen, but we haven’t gotten the result yet. He needs to report it to his superiors, so we probably have to wait another two or three days.
When I had almost finished my rice noodles, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Lianqi is back.
"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Ye Ying glanced at him.
"Exercise."
Ye Ying looked up in surprise and saw a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
The phone in the room suddenly rang. Ye Ying was afraid of missing important news, so she hurriedly got up to answer it.
She bought this phone with the money she earned from her hard-earned money after she arrived.
These days, you have to wait in line to get a telephone installed, which can take several months or even a year and a half. She had just arrived here, so it was almost impossible for the phone to be installed so quickly.
But she had had enough of not having a telephone, being virtually isolated from the world, and having to go out and do everything herself.
At that time, a neighbor happened to have a number in line, so she gritted her teeth and offered double the price to ask the neighbor to find a way to give up the spot to her.
The neighbor was reluctant at first, but he accepted it because he needed money urgently at home.
At that time, it cost 1,400 yuan to install a telephone at home. She paid double the price, which means she spent nearly 3,000 yuan!
She was somewhat glad that she accepted An Yongbo's check. Otherwise, the little money she had earned in Dayan Village would not only not be enough, but she might also suffer the consequences!
But that's not a big deal, she installed the phone with the investment mentality that she would be able to earn the money back.
How can you do business without a phone?
Fortunately, she made the money back in the first month, and even multiplied it many times.
The call was connected and it was Mr. Chen calling. Zhengding agreed.
Ye Ying was extremely excited. She couldn't believe that she was going so smoothly. She was indeed a koi fish!
Since Zhengding agreed, she would start making arrangements today. Her original plan to take Ji Lianqi out for a walk today would have to be put on hold for the time being.
It’s important to make money, wait until she finishes this big deal!
Since Ye Ying received this call, she started to answer and make calls endlessly. Not long after, Guo Fan came over. Ye Ying hurriedly told him a few words and he left.
Ji Lianqi on the side turned around silently and went back to Ye Ying's room.
Although he had lived here for two days, this was the first time he looked around the room.
There are many books on the desk, indicating that she reads them regularly.
Looking further to the left, several medicine bottles suddenly came into view.
What is this?
He took a closer look and found that it was medicine for treating heart diseases.
she....
Ji Lianqi tightened his grip on the medicine bottle, and He Siting's words flashed through his mind.
Ye Ying seems to have some mental problems.
After a long time, he put the medicine back with a serious look on his face.
It was not until noon that Ye Ying stopped and suddenly remembered that there was someone else in the room.
When she got busy, she neglected Ji Lianqi.
She walked into the room unexpectedly and found that the man was reading the book she bought to increase her knowledge reserves.
In the afternoon, the phone rang again. It was Guo Fan calling back. There was trouble.
The freight company we have been cooperating with, Toyo Shipping, knew that their volume had increased several times this time and they had to temporarily increase the fees.
And the price increase is quite dark.
The reason for the price increase turned out to be that other shipping companies suddenly stopped the route from Bincheng to Shekou ahead of schedule today.
In other words, they are the only one that can carry it now.
How can this be possible?
She heard all of Toyo Shipping's wishful thinking at home.
The costs have all been calculated, and if this suddenly happens, she will lose a lot of money, right?
Ye Ying was naturally unwilling.
But now there is only this crappy shipping company that failed halfway that can take it. What should she do?
What about her good luck?
Since returning to the 1980s, it seems that every time I encounter bad luck, I can turn it into good luck.
Why couldn't she feel the breath of good luck this time!
Ye Ying was so anxious that she kept pacing back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, another voice emerged in my mind.
Ye Ying felt that she must be suffering from a nervous breakdown as she kept hearing strange noises these past two days.
In the evening, Guo Fan came back and told Ye Ying that he had failed to communicate the price increase to Dongyang Shipping, and the other party was determined to raise the price.
Ye Ying was helpless and planned to go there in person tomorrow.
It's crazy to charge so much for one ton, these guys are taking advantage of the situation!
In the evening, Ye Ying got two bottles of white wine from somewhere and poured a glass for herself and Ji Lianqi respectively.
"Ji Lianqi, can you drink?"
Ji Lianqi glanced at the two bottles of liquor on the table. The alcohol content was quite high. Was he trying to get himself drunk?
