Chapter 24 Taking a Different Approach
The group left.
Just then, someone from Li Yulan's perfume shop came to the restaurant to deliver a message.
"Is Manager Su here?"
Su Jingge stepped forward: "And you are?"
"Manager Su, you really have a bad memory. I am Manager Li's maid."
The little girl had exquisite makeup and a smiling face, but she possessed a strong sense of aggression.
Like Li Yulan, she has a rather strong personality.
She has the air of a strong, independent woman.
"Oh, it's Aunt Li from the shopkeeper's family! Please come in, Qingyue, serve tea—"
"No need, I didn't come here for tea." The woman smiled slightly and took out a box from her bosom. "I was ordered to personally deliver this to Assistant Manager Su, and that would complete my mission. I'll be going now."
"Then I'll have to trouble you to make the trip, Auntie." Su Jingge took the things.
The little girl smiled politely and then turned and left.
Su Jingge removed the small wooden board from the box and saw that it contained a piece of paper.
Her eyes lit up when she opened it and saw the contents.
The perfume powder she gave to Manager Li last time sold exceptionally well. Many customers came back to ask about it several times, and even said that if she didn't restock, they would have to search the whole city for it.
Su Jingge smiled and said, "The order is here."
Okay, okay.
Moreover, the quantity is quite large. Once the supply is completed, there will definitely be no problem with LV2.
He immediately went up to the third floor.
All kinds of face powder are 500 each.
There are a total of seven quantities.
Three thousand five hundred units.
This is an intermediate order.
These points are quite rare; not to mention how rare they are, there aren't many perfume shops, and her products are pretty good.
How come I have 1000 points by now?
Hahaha.
Upgrade quickly, and the city will be repaired much faster.
The three types of construction projects were finally completed.
Su Jingge was happy to see the roofs of the people's houses repaired.
The villagers were deeply grateful and had complete faith in Su Jingge's words.
Everyone says she has won the hearts of the people.
Another problem arose while repairing the roof of the second type of building.
Zhao Zhou then took control of the materials.
Zhao Zhou and Zhao Liu, those two bastards, attacked her from both sides.
Su Jingge was researching a new cuisine while simultaneously searching for ingredients.
Otherwise, the construction period will be interrupted again.
She knew that besides the materials provided by the government, the only other options were from private material suppliers, and she didn't know if they had any finished tiles.
The old master of the private house in the rubble is a bit eccentric. Everyone says he's hard to approach, yet he seems to be related to Zhao Liu.
Opinions vary.
In order to prevent the supplies from running out, Su Jingge had no choice but to try her luck with the old master.
Su Jingge stood on her flying sword at the entrance of the old master's mansion. Looking at the mansion in front of her, she thought, "What an elegant and beautiful courtyard! There are two green pine trees by the west wall, and then there is a peach tree. It is truly a garden full of spring colors that cannot be contained!"
A very wealthy and powerful family!
This old rich man is rich, in three words, he's damn rich!
Fei Jian said to the two servants at the door, "Please inform Master Li that our Assistant Manager Su requests an audience."
The servant at the door replied directly, "Master Li has an appointment today and will not see any guests. Please leave!"
Fei Jian immediately turned cold: "You haven't even announced your arrival yet, why aren't you seeing the guest? If you do, you might become friends."
The servant remained silent, his face consistently cold.
"Are you two mute?" Flying Sword couldn't stand this old turtle; his whereabouts were mysterious and hard to fathom.
"Flying Sword, let's go back." Su Jingge called the person away.
"Master Li is a very difficult person to meet. Even if we come again next time, it'll be a waste of time. He's just a little money, what's so great about him? Hey, you—"
Su Jingge's eyes darted around, and she pulled the man back at the corner, gesturing towards the two evergreen pine trees by the door.
Fei Jian paused for a moment, then shut his rambling mouth.
"You mean, crouching against the wall??" Flying Sword asked incredulously.
"What else? We'd work ourselves to death and still never see him," Su Jingge said calmly.
Fei Jian curled his lips: "I never thought that a dignified assistant manager would do such a petty theft."
Su Jingge glared at him: "This is at most an unfair victory. Besides, I don't believe you haven't clashed with your master."
Fei Jian smiled and said, "I've done it before, but those two ancient pines are right by the courtyard wall, and there are servants at the gate. How are we supposed to climb those trees?"
Su Jingge pondered; this was indeed a problem.
She saw a woman in tattered clothes begging for food at the street corner.
Her eyes lit up—she'd got it!
The two stopped the old woman, and Su Jingge gave her a silver ingot in exchange for the old woman's clothes.
The old woman was so grateful that she immediately agreed.
In a dramatic turn of events, Su Jingge was dressed in tattered clothes, holding a beggar's bowl and leaning on a cane with her right hand.
She walked around and deliberately smeared some dust on her face.
Feijian looked at her in astonishment: "I'm impressed, I'm truly impressed!"
"Looks like it, right? Let's do it like this..."
A ragged old woman appeared at Master Li's door.
The old woman banged on her bowl as she slowly made her way towards the servants of Master Li's mansion: "Cough cough, have mercy, I haven't eaten for days."
She deliberately lowered her voice to a hoarse tone, thankfully she had shouted too much in her previous life.
'Tingting'
Two more copper coins appeared in the bowl.
Su Jingge also paid attention to the flying sword.
"Please have mercy, I haven't eaten for days."
The servant was getting impatient. 'Tingting'
Two more were thrown.
The flying sword stuck to the base of the wall.
Su Jingge excitedly grabbed the servant's hand again: "Please have mercy, I haven't eaten for days."
"Are you ever going to stop? Can't you just say something else?" The servant was getting impatient.
It's hard on the waist!
That's all the old woman taught me!
"Please, gentlemen, have mercy! I haven't eaten for days. I have elderly parents and young children to support. It's not easy for me!" she cried, desperately clinging to the two servants.
They watched as the man leaped to the top of the tree using his light-footed skill.
'Ting!'
This time, there was a silver ingot in the bowl: "Judging from your age and attire, you must be at least seventy years old. Your mother-in-law still has elderly relatives to support; life is tough for her!"
"Take the money and get out of here! Don't disturb my master's reception!" another servant said.
Su Jingge's eyes lit up when she saw the silver. Had she broken even?
Look at life, it's full of surprises.
At this moment, the flying sword could see the entire view of Master Li's mansion.
Elegant corridors, courtyards, pavilions, and bridges; a corner of the garden also features verdant bamboo.
It wasn't particularly luxurious, but the greenery was exquisite and unique.
It seems that Master Li really likes green plants.
Su Jingge saw the look in the man's eyes in the tree and knew that he had seen Master Li.
She turned and left.
Fei Jian saw Master Li talking with several people in the courtyard.
He pricked up his ears to listen carefully, as if discussing a business deal.
The man asked Master Li for a few things, saying they were scarce, and offered silver, or if all else failed, he'd give him two wives.
What a mess!
Selling goods and even giving away wives?
There was no useful information.
After the flying sword had been lying against the wall for an hour, it finally heard some useful information.
That means Master Li will treat them to dinner tomorrow afternoon.
The location seems to be...
Yunque Restaurant?
Isn't that just delivering someone to their doorstep?
