Chapter 292 Don’t Mind Your Own Business
After Zhu Shiliang left, no one was in a hurry to leave. Although the office was dark, there were two desk lamps on, so everyone could still see each other clearly.
"Old Shen, what do you think?" Yu Shui looked at Shen Yanming and asked.
"Just look at it as you like, do what you have to do, and just listen to what you say. Isn't that what you said?"
"I did say that. I was in front of other people, so it's not appropriate to say more." Yu Shui touched his nose embarrassedly.
Shen Yanming nodded, “But this is what we have to do now, stay out of other people’s business and do your job well.
How about this, next Monday everyone should go early and try to wait near the community around seven o'clock.
Joan and I went to the guard team to get the tent and coal stove. Once we get there, we don’t know when we will be there.
If it's late, you can look for a suitable place to set up tents nearby, and welcome others if they arrive."
"If that's the case, I'll probably arrive earlier than you. I'll leave home at 6:30, so it'll be a little after 7 when I get there," said Yu Shui.
"In that case, I'll leave the keys and the list to you. If the guards have too many people and the procedures are complicated, Qiao An and I may be delayed for a while."
Yu Shui nodded, "Don't worry, I will complete the task!"
Others also agreed with this arrangement.
"By the way, we also need to prepare a table and some chairs. Can you take charge of this?" Shen Yanming looked at Cui Xian, Li Yinhe and Chen Qing.
"Chairs and benches are easy to get, but we can't take this table with us even though we have one at home. The car can't fit it." Li Yinhe said distressedly.
"It's okay. When we go home later, we'll go around to the community over there and ask if we can borrow a table from the property management for two days." Cui Xian said.
"That's fine! If that doesn't work, we can just pay the rent!"
"Well, you guys confirm it in advance. If it doesn't work, we can think of another way." Shen Yanming said.
They didn't avoid others when they were talking, so they were naturally overheard by other colleagues.
Some people thought they were making a big fuss. "It's just a reception. Is there any need to go to so much trouble? It's not troublesome enough!"
"That's right. This is not what we are supposed to do. I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking that they want us to manage those people. Are those property management and community employees just there to do nothing?"
Cui Xian, Yu Shui and the others were a little embarrassed. Shen Yanming smiled and patted their shoulders, saying softly, "It's okay, let's just do what we have to do, don't think too much."
The expressions of several people eased a little, but they were still not very happy.
Seeing this, Shen Yanming said to them, "Go back first. If there is anything, we can chat online. Bring dry food with you on Monday. You may not have time to eat at noon."
A few people nodded, packed up their things and left.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also packed up and prepared to go home, but as soon as they walked out of the office, they were stopped by Ke Wenpei and others.
"Xiao Shen, we have gathered enough food. Shall we give it to you now?" Ke Wenpei asked in a low voice.
"Okay, Brother Pei, where did you put the things? Why didn't you bring them in?"
"How dare I? I've already been caught skipping work by my boss, and if I put the things in front of him, I'd be walking into his trap." Ke Wenpei said he didn't dare, but Shen Yanming could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.
But Shen Yanming said nothing, he just smiled and asked, "Is business good today?"
"Of course. We sold all the dried fruits today. The food we got back is just enough to pay for the goods. After we pay you back, the rest will be pure profit!"
The expression on Ke Wenpei's face when he spoke could be described as beaming with joy. It seemed that earning money and food had given him a boost of confidence.
Shen Yanming didn't ask them what price they sold them at, but judging from the remaining dried fruits in the office, this guy definitely sold them at a higher price than Chen Shunwei and the others.
This was indeed the case. Ke Wenpei and his friends wanted to double their profits, so they sold the goods at the price of six kilograms of grain for one kilogram of dried fruit.
But none of this had anything to do with Shen Yanming. He followed Ke Wenpei to a rarely used staircase in the building.
The reason why it is not often used is that this place is too remote. Even when there is electricity, it seems very gloomy. What's more, now there is no electricity and no lights. There is only the light from a few mobile phone flashlights, and the brightness and coverage are really limited.
There was a large pile of food in the corner of the stairs. Ke Wenpei took out a digital scale and asked, "Shall we check it?"
Shen Yanming didn't want to delay outside, so he smiled and said, "No need, we are all colleagues, how can I not trust you?"
"Okay, we'll help you move it to the car!" Ke Wenpei said as he picked up the bag of grain and walked towards the garage, followed by several others.
After everything was moved, Ke Wenpei asked, "We don't have many dried fruits left. If you need more in the future..."
"Just contact my friend directly. He may come over this weekend. If you need anything, contact him right away." As he said that, Shen Yanming gave Zeng Yiming's phone number to Ke Wenpei.
"Yanming, thank you very much!" Ke Wenpei said with some gratitude.
"It's okay!" Shen Yanming said with a smile: "Then we will go back first, you should go home early too."
After Shen Yanming left, Ke Wenpei called Zeng Yiming and ordered 500 kilograms of dried fruits from him.
Zeng Yiming agreed, but on the condition that there would be no credit and he would not deliver the goods until he saw the grain.
"Is it not possible for Shen Yanming to be the guarantor?" Ke Wenpei asked.
"Sorry, we never sell on credit. I gave Yanming those nuts because he saved my mother. This is not a transaction, but a favor. As for how he handles it, it is his right.
I hope you can tell the difference between the two.”
Ke Wenpei understood that the other party was warning him not to take Shen Yanming's favor as his own. The relationship between them was just an ordinary transaction, and it was not even a deal that had been reached yet.
So he could only nod and agree, and then discuss it with those partners after hanging up the phone.
Several people had tasted the sweetness of this week's sales promotion, and had been dazzled by this kind of quick money. They nodded and agreed without thinking, and said: "Brother Pei, it's okay. Our family will contribute 400 kilograms and get the goods back first! With the goods, it won't take a few minutes to earn back the food."
"Yes, Brother Pei, there is a sack of dried fruits in the office. If we go there for two days on Saturday and Sunday, we may be able to get most of the money back."
"Yes, yes. Before, we had to go to work, so we had too little time to go out and sell goods every day. If we worked hard for two days, we might not have enough dried fruits to sell!"
"That's right. Sometimes I feel like this job is not worth it. The salary is so low and I can't even buy food. It's so troublesome!"
