“Even if someone wanted to buy it, they couldn’t conjure up grain. They can’t exactly go home to get it, can they? Who knows if you’ll still be there when they come back, or if you’ll still have any dried fruit left,” Shen Yanming said.
"Then we chose the wrong location?" Ke Wenpei immediately realized something.
"If you want to sell it for money, you can do it anywhere. But if you want to exchange it for grain, you have to go somewhere where people can provide grain, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" Ke Wenpei nodded immediately, saying excitedly, "I'll take them to another place right away."
"Well, good luck!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yanming took the empty lunchbox and thermos from Bi Qiaoan and said, "Let's go, it's time to go home."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, held hands with Shen Yanming, checked in, and walked back to the underground parking garage.
After Zhang Heping got back into the car with the two of them, he said, "You guys have such a great job! You work only four or five hours a day, the work is easy and you don't have to work overtime. You also have holidays and weekends. I'm so envious!"
"Yeah, half the work and no meals, that's much worse than what you get."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "If it weren't for the fact that my family has a lot of savings and enough food reserves, I don't think I could support Qiao An. Jobs like ours are no longer popular in today's marriage market, not as good as yours."
"But no matter what, your job doesn't require much physical exertion and is stable, which is really great. Although the benefits at our hospital are also very good, I often work overtime and can't go home, and I'm exhausted like a dog every day."
"What you see is only the present. Who can predict the future? Our job can be replaced at any time, but it's different for you."
"Dude, you should know you're in high demand right now. Look at all the girls at work today, aren't they all giving you the eye?"
Zhang Heping awkwardly touched his hair. "Well, I'm with Xiaoqian now. Tell all the girls in your unit to be careful and not waste their time on me."
Shen Yanming shook his head and chuckled, "You're only yours if you can catch up with it."
That evening, Zhang Heping once again stayed at Shen Yanming's house, not leaving until the next morning.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan arrived at the office, they saw Ke Wenpei beaming as he recounted his experience of selling dried fruit the previous day.
"Yanming, thank you so much for your guidance yesterday. Otherwise, Tian Weihua, Rong Huai, Peng Gang, and I probably wouldn't have been able to sell any of the dried fruit by tonight," Ke Wenpei said as soon as he saw Shen Yanming.
"You flatter me, you flatter me. You just haven't done this before and have no experience. Once you've done it for a while, you'll figure it out," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
"Well, thank you too. If it weren't for you, we might have had to take a few more days of detours," Tian Weihua and the others said, expressing their gratitude.
Shen Yanming smiled and nodded, then sat back down and took out his phone with Bi Qiaoan to go online, waiting for the call to come in before dealing with the documents.
But Ke Wenpei and his group had just tasted success and couldn't sit still in the office.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, the group discussed it and decided to sneak out with the dried fruit and electronic scale.
Shen Yanming saw it, but he ignored it, and the others went about their own business, pretending not to notice.
Around 1 p.m., the group returned carrying large and small bags of food.
They had a much smoother day than yesterday. They found a residential area nearby, called out to the residents coming and going, and people came up to inquire. It didn't take long for them to sell all the dried fruit.
Ke Wenpei and the others put their things down and went out to heat up their food.
After returning to the office from the restaurant, Ke Wenpei said to Shen Yanming, "We've discussed it and decided to give you the grain we've collected these past two days to offset part of the payment."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Okay!" Then he and Ke Wenpei and the others weighed and registered.
"There are 236 jin of grain in total. I'll return the rest to you after I sell all the dried fruit."
Shen Yanming nodded in agreement and signed a receipt for the other party.
As for the dried fruit given to the other party, Shen Yanming did not mention the receipt.
First, he didn't take this matter seriously; second, he knew his colleagues were all cautious, so he took the initiative to avoid making them overthink things.
Soon it was time to leave work, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were stopped at the gate of the residential compound.
"Mr. Chen, we've sold all the dried fruit you gave us," Chen Shunwei said happily.
"So fast? Only two days!" Shen Yanming walked into the security room and was quite surprised to see the full bags of grain without a trace of dried fruit.
"Yeah, there are a lot of people in the security room. When they're not on duty, they go out and wander around for two or three hours and they sell out."
"So, you want to bring in more?" Shen Yanming asked.
"That's the idea. Although we've brought back a lot of grain these past two days, there are so many people working that each person will only get a few dozen kilograms."
Shen Yanming thought to himself, several dozen kilograms is quite a lot, but for someone who has tasted "meat," it might be unbearable to eat vegetarian food again.
Shen Yanming didn't say much, but gave Zeng Yiming's number to Chen Shunwei and told him to contact him himself.
Then, looking at these sacks of grain, I felt a bit worried, constantly thinking to myself, "Should I carry them home? It's such a hassle!"
"Well, let me call him first and see how to handle these grains. If he comes to pick them up, he can bring you some goods while he's at it."
Chen Shunwei nodded after hearing this, "Then I'll contact you later."
"good!"
After leaving the security room, Shen Yanming returned to his car and called Zeng Yiming to tell him about Chen Shunwei and his colleagues.
“Yiming, although you make a lot of money by reselling things, you’re too ambitious. If you have more people helping you, you can make a profit without attracting too much envy.”
“I know I don’t have time to handle these matters personally right now. I’ve delegated them to the second and third-level agents. That way, they’re on the front lines, and I’m safer.”
"Well, if those two people I told you about want to buy goods from you, be careful not to give them too much. I'm afraid they'll become greedy and attract unwanted attention."
“Okay, I understand. We’ll send them two or three shipments, then say there’s no more.” Zeng Yiming smiled. “Then I’ll come to your place this weekend to pick up some grain?”
"If you're available, that's fine. How's Auntie's been lately?"
"I'm much better now. I can be discharged in another two weeks, all thanks to your pills."
"No, that was just an auxiliary treatment. Modern medical technology is much better. I'll visit her again when I have time after Auntie is discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, I'll be waiting. My mom has been talking about you for a long time. She keeps saying she felt bad for not being able to invite you to her house for dinner last time."
"Next time you come, you must stay at our house for a couple of days so my mom can give you a proper welcome."
"Okay, then please thank Auntie for me."
