Chapter 37: Bole's Horse Selection



Wu Biao did not call Li Zichen back and transferred four top special forces soldiers from Li Zichen's command.

The old leader took his men and set off overnight.

Li Zichen waited for the entire afternoon but didn't get a call back. He guessed he might have to wait for a few days.

Su Le just did what she was supposed to do without any nervousness. Even if she failed, she would not lose anything.

The old leader rested in the county town for one night before setting off for Su Le's house.

Many people looked at the military vehicle curiously until it stopped in front of Su Le's house.

Under the full protection of the four people, the old man stood at the door and knocked.

Su Le walked from the kitchen to the door, looked at the military vehicle and the five people at the door, and scanned the crowd around him.

Everyone was a little afraid of her and some left timidly.

Su Le turned sideways and said, "Please come in."

The old leader entered the yard, and the other four looked around. After confirming that everything was fine, they closed the yard door. Two of them stood guard at the door of the living room, and two followed the old leader.

Su Le brewed a cup of the best Tieguanyin.

He looked at the old leader without any fear and sat calmly in the chair.

Seeing this, the old leader became even more interested in her, "Little girl, tell me what you think."

Su Le smiled and said, "Old Chief, the ancients said that there were scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. What are your thoughts on this?"

The old leader smiled and said, "You little girl are really interesting. We agree to your request."

Su Le stood up and took out a small bag of rice and some fruits from the room, and placed them in front of the old leader, "Please take a look, Chief."

The old leader saw that it was extraordinary at first sight. Whether it was fruit or rice, the quality was excellent. He was not interested in these things, but... "Little girl, this..."

Su Le shook his head. "I can provide rice of this quality at 8 cents per pound. I won't differentiate between fruits. They're all 10 cents per pound."

The old leader stared at Su Le calmly. He was a smart man, so it seemed that he had no choice but to cooperate.

Su Le was not in a hurry. She drank a few sips of tea. In fact, she was not afraid that they would know her method. Even if she told them, the quality would not be better than hers. But she needed to pretend.

The old leader nodded, "Okay. I'll accept this favor."

Su Le took out a handwritten contract, in duplicate, which she had already signed.

The old leader sighed that Su Le has always been in the dominant position.

The two sides reached an agreement, talking and laughing, and Li Zichen, who was outside the courtyard, pushed the door open and saluted the old leader, "Hello, leader!"

The old leader motioned him to sit down, "Zi Chen, you really married a good wife! You have good taste!"

Li Zichen looked at Su Le beside him and said, "It's my honor. I'm also grateful to the Party for granting me leave so that I could meet her."

The old commander said "yes, yes, yes" repeatedly. "Little girl, the transaction will not begin until you come to the military dependents' compound."

Su Le thought it was all right, especially since Li Zichen was currently building a house. He had to wait until it was finished and he heard back from his parents.

After the old leader had settled the matter, he got up and left without staying for dinner. He was very busy.

Su Le and Li Zichen stood up to see him off. The reason why Li Zichen rushed over was because he was afraid that the old leader would confront Su Le, but he didn't expect that the two of them would have a very pleasant conversation.

"It will take us at least half a month. If you are in a hurry, I can recruit some more people." Li Zichen looked at Su Le and said.

Su Le thought it would be best if she could go there earlier. She wanted to go there before winter so that she could spend the New Year with her parents.

"I am quite anxious." Su Le answered honestly.

Li Zichen thought she was just a money-grubber looking to make money, so he nodded and went to the next room to introduce some capable and practical people. Soon, the crowd was huge, from 58 adults, four cooks, three bullies and himself, to the current 100 people.

Zhang Junran went from once a day to two or three times a day, and everyone was working incredibly hard. Li Lao Er, Li Lao San, and Li Lao Si had all told everyone that once this one was finished, they would each build their own, one family at a time. By then, they wouldn't need so many people; maybe just 20 or 30 would be enough. So, to keep their jobs long-term, everyone worked non-stop, except for eating and drinking.

Su Le also went to see Xu Hu several times, hoping that he would give up the black market here and go to Beijing with him to make a living.

Xu Hu was also considering the feasibility of this matter. He had worked hard to get to where he was today. If he left, someone else would quickly take over the area. If things didn't go well in Jing City, he would have to start over. However, the fact that Su Le had such a rich supply of resources showed that the person behind her was extraordinary.

Today was probably Su Le's last day at the temple. He gave double the money for everything, and Xu Hu also came with his men.

Su Le said, "Hu Zi, I wonder what you think about the matter I mentioned before?"

Xu Hu hesitated, still undecided. Su Le wanted to train him to be his own man, and if he didn't have the drive, then that was the end of it. "Mom, are you leaving?"

Su Le nodded. "I'll give you double the price for this time. I believe you can afford it and eat it. I can reassure you that I will open a supply and marketing cooperative in Beijing, approved by the higher-ups. It's the only one at the moment."

Xu Hu stood there in a daze for a few minutes. It must have taken a very powerful force to put the business out in the open.

Xu Hu hardened his heart and nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll do it with you!"

Su Le patted his shoulder and said, "You should sell this batch of goods first. When you have money, go to Beijing. It's better to bring some people with you. Help me look after the storefront first. Don't be too close to the supply and marketing cooperative. I will buy it out when I get there. Following me is your wisest choice. You can eat meat every meal. I'm leaving first." Xu Hu gave Su Le the 80,000 yuan this time.

Now Su Xiao is no longer Chen Xiao, so Su Le needs to cultivate her own people. Even if she is in the military compound, she can still ensure the operation of the supply and marketing cooperative. Xu Hu has climbed to the top of this area, so he must have his skills. Moreover, those who are so close to Li Zichen are not bad people. Trust people when you employ them, and don't employ them if you don't trust them.
