After hearing what Yang Niannian said, Jiang Yang suddenly realized that there was still a lot to learn in doing business. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Yang Niannian.
Yang Niannian glanced in the direction of the forklift driver. He was filling his stomach with water from a kettle and didn't pay attention to this side.
"Boss Zheng has been doing business for so many years, and he has eaten more salt than we have eaten rice. Although he looks very kind and honest, think about it, if he really didn't have any brains, could he have made such a big business? Few people who do big business are stupid. Remember this: don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others."
Changing the subject, she said in a relaxed tone, "However, there is no need to worry too much. Boss Zheng must have some integrity to be able to make such a big business. Even if others don't cheat us, we can't act like we are easy to cheat. Go and get the account book."
Although Yang Niannian did not have much experience in doing business, she had watched many business war dramas in her previous life and had also seen many cases of business fraud on the Internet.
I have even downloaded the national anti-fraud app on my mobile phone. What kind of scenes have I not seen?
Sometimes she just couldn't understand why so many people fell for something that was obviously a scam.
Jiang Yang took Yang Niannian's words to heart. As it was his first time working with Boss Zheng, he didn't dare to waste any more time. He quickly ran back to the house, got the account book and handed it to Yang Niannian.
"Then I'll take you there on my tricycle, and let Master Zheng drive the tractor first."
Yang Niannian shook her head. "Let's ride a bicycle. Tricycles take up too much time."
Jiang Yang didn't have any objection, but he was worried that Yang Niannian's ankle would have difficulty getting on the bicycle, so he suggested that Yang Niannian sit on the 28-bar in the front.
Yang Niannian's mouth twitched, "I'm not a little girl anymore, why should I be a conspicuous bag?"
She stepped on the iron bar next to the bicycle and sat on the back seat. "Okay, just step your legs over from the front."
Jiang Yang was tall and had long legs, so it was a bit difficult for him to step forward, but he managed to do it.
Master Zheng arrived faster than them on his tractor. Because they had not arrived yet, Zheng Haitian did not notify the workers to unload the goods. He waited until Yang Niannian and Jiang Yang arrived before he weighed the scrap metal in front of them.
The truckload of cargo weighed a total of 1.5 tons. Yang Niannian wrote down the weight in front of Zheng Haitian. She stayed here to chat with Zheng Haitian, while Jiang Yang and Master Zheng went back to the scrap yard together.
As soon as Jiang Yang left, Master Zheng asked.
"Is your foot injury better?"
Yang Niannian was quite surprised, "Can you see that my foot is injured?"
After a night's sleep, the wound scabbed over and it wasn't as painful anymore, but she couldn't use force, otherwise it would still hurt a little. So she didn't walk much, and her trouser legs were too long, covering her ankles. She didn't expect Zheng Haitian to have such good eyesight that he actually noticed that she was injured.
I don’t know how Zheng Haitian found out.
Zheng Haitian smiled. He had a deep voice and his smile sounded quite kind.
"Boss Du came by yesterday and said you ran into some hooligans on the road. Were you scared at the time?"
"Our area has always been quite peaceful. I've never heard of anyone getting into trouble here. I was quite surprised when I heard about it. But then I thought, this road is mostly used by factory workers, and there are usually few women passing by. It's normal that they didn't encounter him. Be more careful next time you take this road, and try not to walk alone. Girls are not as tough as men, and it's easy for bad guys to target them."
So it was Du Weili, the big mouth?
He's already cuckolded, yet he still has the time to gossip everywhere.
Yang Niannian complained about Du Weili from head to toe in her heart, but her face showed an expression of fear and gratitude.
"I was really scared at the time, but luckily Boss Du is very broad-minded, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
Yang Niannian never mentioned the fact that Du Weili was framed. She didn't like to be laughed at behind his back.
Zheng Haitian smiled and nodded, praising Du Weili highly. "Boss Du is a good person. He is young and promising, and he is also a leader among young people."
Yang Niannian breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she thought, Zheng Haitian indeed had a good impression of Du Weili. After all, the two of them had a long-term cooperative relationship. Fortunately, she didn't like to talk about people behind their backs.
She asked openly, "Did Boss Du say anything bad about me in front of you?"
When Zheng Haitian heard her ask so bluntly, he laughed out loud twice, thinking that she was just being straightforward and had no bad intentions.
"Don't worry, he didn't say anything bad about you, he even praised you."
At that time, Du Weili said in front of him, "Don't look at this girl's young age. She is very smart, her mind is quick and clever, and she has more tricks than a hornet's nest. Maybe she can really gain a foothold in this industry."
Yang Niannian also laughed and praised Du Weili again, "I am now sure that Boss Du is indeed a good person."
Zheng Haitian was amused by her words again. He thought this girl was quite interesting and couldn't help but ask the questions in his heart.
"How could a little girl like you want to start a scrap collection business?"
Yang Niannian blinked her big eyes and spoke the truth, "To be honest, I thought this industry was worry-free at first. I thought I just needed to collect the waste and sell it. Now it seems that this industry is not so worry-free. There are many things to worry about."
Trying to be cunning in front of such an old man will only make people laugh at you, so it is better to just say what you want to say and save yourself the trouble of thinking about how to say it.
Zheng Haitian has been doing business for so many years and has met all kinds of people, some who brag in front of him and some who try to be mysterious. He always sees it but doesn't want to expose them.
To be honest, among all the people he had met before, Du Weili was the only one he felt was okay. He was not arrogant even after making money.
Now there is another straightforward Yang Niannian. The impression he had of Yang Niannian this time was much better than the first time he met her.
Thinking that Yang Niannian had an injured ankle, he asked someone to bring a stool over for her. The two of them sat under a big tree and chatted. With the breeze blowing, they didn't feel hot.
Yang Niannian felt that Zheng Haitian's posture of sitting on the stool looked very familiar. Just like Lu Shishen, his back was straight as if a wooden board was tied to it, with his hands on his thighs and not crossing his legs.
Whose boss sits like this?
The more Yang Niannian looked at him, the more she felt that Zheng Haitian might have served in the military. "Boss Zheng, have you ever served in the military?"
Zheng Haitian was surprised, "How did you know?"
Yang Niannian smiled faintly, "My husband is also a soldier, and he sits in the same position as you."
Hearing this, Zheng Haitian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yang Niannian was actually a military wife. He instantly felt a little more intimate with her.
He missed the days in the army. "I served in the Haicheng Military Region for a few years. Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know how Captain Song is doing now."
Yang Niannian blinked. She suspected that the Captain Song that Zheng Haitian was talking about was Chief Song, but Chief Song’s current status was special, and she did not dare to reveal his identity casually. It happened that Jiang Yang and Master Zheng drove over in a tractor again, and the topic between the two ended there.
