Chapter 17 Renting a Warehouse and Stockpiling Supplies
After putting away the wooden shovel, Lin Muyan took out the key.
After several days of experience and research, she knows that everything the shovel digs up is very useful, and this key is definitely not just for show, but she still can't figure it out yet.
After putting the keys away, Lin Muyan prepared to leave.
Lin's father went to work early this morning, and Lin Xiaonuan went to school. Only Wang Yanqin, who was doing handicrafts to earn pocket money, was left at home.
Lin Muyan said goodbye and left the urban village. She had been leaving early and returning late these past few days, so she probably wouldn't have had many chances to talk to them. Fortunately, her biological parents wouldn't ask her anything or make any demands on her. She was free in the Lin family.
Lin Muyan had to go to several places today, so she simply rented a small pickup truck from a car dealership. It could be used for transportation and also to haul some goods.
She first went to the gold shop to exchange the gold nuggets for cash, and then went to the farmers' market she had visited the day before.
Several small business owners were already waiting for her, and because they wanted a lot of goods, everyone was very enthusiastic towards her.
"Young lady, you're driving such a small car to haul goods? Why don't you give me your address and I'll arrange for a car to deliver the goods to your door?"
Lin Muyan thought about it and agreed, but she couldn't reveal the Lin family's address. A small, dilapidated courtyard in an urban village suddenly receiving so many goods would attract too much attention.
"Please wait a moment, I'll contact the warehouse."
Lin Muyan climbed into the pickup truck and called Lin Xiao.
The two exchanged contact information yesterday. Lin Xiao had an injury on his face and didn't dare let his parents know, so he didn't go back to the urban village. They agreed to contact each other by phone if anything happened.
Lin Muyan learned that Lin Xiao's real estate agency was the largest and most resourceful in S City, with a wide range of businesses, from selecting factory and company sites to buying and selling cemetery plots. Asking him to help rent a warehouse should be very simple.
Lin Xiao was delighted to receive Lin Muyan's call. Upon hearing that she wanted to rent a warehouse, he immediately helped her arrange it without hesitation.
Lin Xiao's efficiency amazed Lin Muyan. This older brother was really efficient. He found a warehouse in just a few minutes. It wasn't far from the farmers' market either. At normal speed, it would only take ten minutes to get there.
After leaving the warehouse address and delivery time, Lin Muyan rushed to the next place and bought some seeds and seedlings. There weren't many of these, so she just loaded them directly into her pickup truck.
Lin Muyan is actually the kind of person who does things on a whim. When she was in the Shen family, someone did everything for her, so she didn't have to do many things herself. Therefore, she seemed "delicate" and couldn't stand hardship.
Even the Shen family felt that Shen Muyan, who was used to being pampered, would not be able to adapt to the life of an ordinary person after leaving the Shen family. They believed that she would be unhappy and that as time went on, her true nature as a young lady would be exposed, making her disliked and no one would have high hopes for her.
Therefore, Mrs. Shen was always worried that Lin Muyan would not be able to stand life outside and would run back to the Shen family.
But after learning that she was not the true daughter of the Shen family, no one in the Shen family would welcome her back, especially Shen Zhi Qiu and his wife. They could not bear the fact that the Shen family's resources were falling into the hands of someone who was not related to them by blood, even if that person was their adopted daughter with whom they had built a relationship for twenty years.
But in reality, none of them understood Lin Muyan. She wasn't that pretentious, and when it was her turn to act, she did just as well as anyone else.
Even the comments section was amazed by Lin Muyan's decisive action.
[Oh my god, that green tea b*tch actually carried the seeds onto the car herself! Wasn't she supposed to be all skin and bones?]
[What's going on here? Is this just a show? But who is she putting on this for?]
In their minds, Lin Muyan loves to pretend and act. Given her personality, if she's acting this down-to-earth, it must be an act to gain sympathy.
But here's the problem: who is she putting on an act for in a place like this? The Shen family? The Shen family wouldn't come to a place like this. If she's going to pretend, she should go to the upscale places where the Shen family usually hangs out.
[Has that brat really changed her ways? She stockpiled so much stuff, even bought seeds; she's clearly preparing for the apocalypse. How did she know?]
[And have you noticed? She seems to have stopped being a tea enthusiast. When she was buying things and chatting with these small business owners, nothing seemed wrong with her. She was clean and efficient, like a completely different person.]
[It's a bit strange to see that scheming woman turn into a normal person...]
[Perhaps, whether she's a "green tea" or not depends on the situation. She used to be quite the "green tea" in the Shen family, but she was the best at pretending in front of Rong Muchen, the young master. It's a pity, though, that young master Rong has nothing to do with her now.]
Lin Muyan drove away, not daring to look at the comments to distract herself, but when Rong Muchen's name popped up, her heart still ached.
Mu Chen is the next successor of the Rong family. The Rong family is even more powerful than the Shen family. The two families used to be neighbors. Rong Mu Chen is Lin Mu Yan's childhood friend, and the two of them have always had an ambiguous relationship.
After her coming-of-age ceremony, Rong Muchen secretly told her that once he took over the Rong family business, he would marry her and make her Mrs. Rong, giving her a happiness that the whole world would envy.
From that moment on, she believed that she would definitely be Mrs. Rong in the future, because they were such a perfect match, perfectly compatible in every way.
Both their names contain the character "沐" (Mu), they are a couple's name, they are destined to be together.
The two families are considered well-matched in terms of social standing. The Rong family has more power at a higher level than the Shen family, but the Shen family is, after all, one of the most prestigious and powerful families in S City, and is not inferior either.
They were childhood sweethearts who grew up together and only separated when they went to college. Their relationship was so deep that no one could break them up.
In the past, Lin Muyan would definitely have been this resolute, but now she was a little uncertain.
She became the fake heiress of the Shen family. Without the Shen family's wealthy background, would Mu Chen still be interested in her?
The Rong family is always well-informed, so they must already know about the Shen family and Lin Muyan's situation. Mu Chen couldn't possibly not know, yet he hasn't called to check on her or even sent a message to inquire.
Lin Muyan couldn't help but feel a little down, and she didn't even pay attention to the barrage of comments discussing Shen Jiaojiao and Rong Muchen.
When we arrived at the warehouse, it was already close to evening.
When Lin Muyan arrived at the warehouse, she realized that her older brother was also there.
Lin Xiao was naturally shocked as he watched delivery trucks carrying goods into the warehouse one after another, quickly filling it to the brim.
When Lin Muyan made the final payment, she didn't deliberately avoid Lin Xiao, so when the huge transfers were successfully made, Lin Xiao could hardly believe his ears.
My sister spent millions of dollars in one go. Where did she get all that money? Did she bring it from the Shen family?
And this warehouse is full of all kinds of grains and oils, including several tons of rice, enough for a family of four to eat for several years.
Why is my sister hoarding so much food? Is she planning to start her own business?
A series of questions swirled in Lin Xiao's mind. After the truck drivers had all left, he thought for a moment and asked:
"Little sister, are you in the grain trading business? Do you need any help?"
Lin Muyan could tell that her older brother had many questions, but he only asked if she needed help and didn't ask where the money came from or why she bought so much food.
Lin Muyan was satisfied with this. At least her older brother had a sense of boundaries and wouldn't pry into her affairs just because he was her blood brother.
