If it really is Wang Zhao, then this scarred man—
Ah Chen looked the man next to him up and down. He had seen Wang Zhao's wife before, but he couldn't remember what she looked like. Otherwise, he could have really tell whether they were siblings.
"What are you staring at, bro? Do you know Gang's brother-in-law? He's a local tyrant in Lincheng."
A tyrant?
Ah Chen said, "If the Wang Zhao you're talking about is the one near the new airport's herbal medicine shop, then I have met him."
"Hey bro! You even know about my brother-in-law's old herbal medicine shop? Looks like you're doing pretty well in Lincheng. Are you still doing well now?"
This guy called Gang Ge, the young man with a scar on his neck, actually believed Ah Chen's words again.
He also said proudly, "My brother-in-law is now the sole transportation company for 'Candy' Company. You all know 'Candy' Company, right? It's the only company in the country that sells Miao sacred fruit."
"So, the speed at which the sacred fruit is sent out from the Miao people depends entirely on my brother-in-law!"
"With such a large business, my brother-in-law stopped dealing in medicinal herbs a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen's heart skipped a beat. He turned around to signal Ah Xiong and the others behind him to write it down, while he quickly sent someone to find Yan Hao.
"Oh my, so it's the brother-in-law of the famous CEO Wang Zhao. That really is the only transportation team of 'Candy' Company."
"Unbelievable! No wonder I've been looking at you so much, you look so blessed. Turns out you're guarding truckloads of sacred fruit every day."
Those who were relatively wealthy immediately started praising this "Brother Gang" and asked him if he could get his hands on the Sacred Fruit. They said they could talk if he could.
Gang was quite cautious and said directly that he couldn't do it because his brother-in-law was very strict. The key issue was that there was a contract with "Candy" and a deposit. If he messed things up, not only would he not be able to get his deposit back, but he would also have to pay compensation according to the contract.
This sentence saved Wang Zhao's life.
But Gang was worried about damaging his brother-in-law's prestige, so he actually said, "However, the speed of delivery is up to my brother-in-law."
He also said that it was perfectly normal for him to arrive in Lincheng a day or two later due to road construction in eastern Guizhou.
Unfortunately, Ah Chen overheard these words.
Ah Chen looked curious and asked, "Didn't we pay a deposit? Won't they compensate us if we're late?"
"What compensation? Isn't traffic congestion due to road construction normal? Their 'candy' trucks don't have anyone to escort them, so what do they know?"
“That makes sense, but if the ‘Candy’ company, which does such a big business, has any doubts and has to find a new transportation company, wouldn’t your brother-in-law lose a major client?”
"Brother, even though you know about Lincheng, there are many things you don't understand."
Gang said arrogantly to Achen, "My brother-in-law, although he no longer works in that line of work, is still a big shot with a lot of influence. Not only is his company large, but more importantly, he is on friendly terms with the future Miao King."
"Don't you believe me? I've even met the future Miao King. When he was drinking with my brother-in-law, he was incredibly polite to him. Every time he goes to Lincheng, he makes sure to visit my brother-in-law. Their Sacred Fruit relies on my brother-in-law."
"Do you think 'Candy' Company would dare to argue with my brother-in-law given this kind of relationship?"
Now, everyone's gaze towards Gang Ge is completely different.
His companions, in particular, believed him wholeheartedly.
"ox!"
Ah Chen gave a thumbs up and asked, "So, if the 'candy' makes your brother-in-law unhappy, would he deliberately delay the delivery?"
“My brother-in-law might not be able to, but I am. Anyway, I often lead teams, so I can manage to keep things under control.”
Gang Ge saved Wang Zhao once again.
"Hey bro, don't just make me talk, you still haven't told me which gang you're involved in in Lincheng."
“I’ve met your brother-in-law Wang Zhao, and I’ve also met your sister.”
"Really? Then tell me about it."
"The winter before last, in 1994! For my first order of century-old ginseng, he offered me 30,000, but I wanted 300,000."
Ah Chen recalled the scene from that year, said a few simple words, then turned to look at the scarred man and said, "When you see him, tell him he should remember who I am. Let's go!"
"Wait, brother, how much of your 300,000 is left? If you haven't used it all, leave it with me and I'll give you 4% interest."
Four percent interest?
Loan sharking!
Ah Chen smiled and said, "There's still plenty, a few hundred thousand! When you see your brother-in-law and mention me, he'll remember me, and when we meet again, we can get to know each other better! Business is special sometimes, and of course, people prefer to do business with trustworthy people. You should pass on this to him word for word."
"Don't go, brother, this way, let's find a spot, eat and chat."
Gang Ge actually put his arm around A Chen and left the campfire, heading straight to the wooden building where they were temporarily staying.
This row is full of restaurants run by the Miao people themselves, offering both food and lodging.
At this moment, the shop is packed with people, with more than a dozen square tables.
Even the food is prepared by the aunties from Quedong Village, though there are also aunties from other branches.
The dishes were served by the women.
Dressed up!
It's pleasing to the eye.
When Achen and the others came in, it was so warm inside, and there happened to be an empty table in the corner.
As soon as Gang Ge opened his mouth, he shouted that the wine should be served first, followed by the sour fish soup.
Miao-style sour fish soup is a world-famous delicacy.
Sister, where's the sour fish soup?
When the girl carrying the rice wine saw Ah Chen, she was stunned!
She was about to speak when she noticed Ah Chen hinting that she shouldn't shout, so she nodded without making a sound.
"brother."
Gang lowered his voice and said to Achen, "One or two hundred thousand is no small amount. Your money isn't clean, is it?"
"What? What brilliant idea do you have?"
"I have a way to get you whitewashed. Come on, let's drink first."
Gang quickly poured wine for Achen, and then said:
"I'll still give you four percent interest, but you have to leave it with me long-term, at least five years. How about it? Now that you know my brother-in-law, I can't run away!"
“My brother-in-law is a big businessman, and he’s a celebrity in the Lincheng business circle now! You can trust me.”
Upon hearing this, Ah Chen deliberately began to ponder.
This guy didn't bother him.
Soon, cold-dressed houttuynia cordata, braised glutinous rice, and the most famous red sour fish were served.
While Achen deliberately remained silent and thought about it, Tang Ayi from Quedong Village also saw Achen over at the small stove.
So they said to the girl who had just brought the dishes in their own Miao language, "If that person is Ah Chen's friend, don't charge him later."
“My aunt told me everything, but I asked Jackal Gu Axiong, and he said we’re not friends. What should I do?”
"If we're not friends, then we'll talk about it later. Try to get some good rice wine for Ah Chen. The kind we sell isn't pure, as soon as Ah Chen tastes it."
Amei said with a smile, "It was changed a long time ago. The wine I gave to Brother Chen is the best."
"Little sister, aren't you sensible!"
"If I'm not sensible, I'm afraid Brother Chen will say I'm messing around."
