Lu Zhan watched Su Ying warily, not daring to take any risks. The other party's generosity seemed suspicious.
But the other party didn't seem like the type to deliberately provoke him into committing a crime and then use their position to arrest him.
Having spent so many years in the black market, he had developed a keen eye for people.
The recent crackdown in Shanghai has resulted in the arrest of many people, causing widespread panic. He was also afraid of being caught red-handed, fearing that the person in front of him might try to trick him, leaving him and his brother with nowhere to be buried.
"These are special times. We don't usually deliver goods on the black market; customers have to pick them up in person."
Su Ying knew about the crackdown, of course; she was just afraid Lu Zhan would set her up.
After all, people who can operate in the black market shouldn't be taken too seriously when it comes to their character.
She only dared to take the risk of negotiating this deal because Lu Zhan was highly regarded by outsiders for his character.
She was also taking a gamble, not completely trusting Lu Zhan, lest she lose three yellow croakers and then have to lose two more, which would be a huge loss.
Although she didn't care about those few yellow croakers, her family's money didn't come from thin air; it was money her mother left her to make a living.
No one can get something for free.
Not only do you have your reasons, but I also have mine. It's just making things up; anyone can do that.
“Brother Zhan should know that the black market has been cracking down recently. I’m also worried about potential problems. Brother Zhan has been in business for so long, he must have his own transportation channels.”
“I’m afraid that once my people arrive, everything will be confiscated before it can be transported back. After all, it’s a transaction involving five yellow croakers, which is quite a lot.”
Lu Zhan nodded, agreeing with Su Ying's words.
Indeed, the business of selling five yellow croakers is quite large; it's the biggest order he's received this year.
However, if the journey is long, unexpected problems may arise. Although this business is very tempting, it is safer to proceed cautiously and steadily.
Ask where it is going, do it if you can, and if you can't, reluctantly give it up, "Where should I send it?"
"An abandoned warehouse in the south of the city. We'll exchange money for goods, and I'll pay the remaining balance after you've inspected the goods. See you at 5 PM."
After finishing their discussion, Su Ying didn't linger and strode towards the door.
Lu Zhan stopped her, "Are you so sure I'll take this job?"
Su Ying glanced back, and even though she was dressed as an older woman and looked a bit old, Lu Zhan's heart still trembled uncontrollably.
A woman with a strong personality.
However, she's too old and so slovenly; she's not his type.
"It was just asking Brother Zhan to deliver goods to an abandoned warehouse in the south of the city. If Brother Zhan can't even do such a short distance, he should quit the black market and go home to grow sweet potatoes."
Lu Zhan smiled; this woman was just his type. "Okay. It's a deal. See you at five this afternoon. Remember to bring the remaining balance."
"See you there."
After saying her last words, Su Ying strode out, not giving Lu Zhan even a second glance.
Lu Zhan stared at the slender figure for a moment, thinking, "What an interesting woman. If she were younger and cleaner, she might be qualified to be my woman."
Seeing that the man had disappeared from his sight, he ordered his men to get to work.
"Go and prepare. I don't care what methods you use to get the goods to the abandoned factory in the south of the city."
