Xie Yu's dark eyes narrowed instantly, "Something more exciting?"
Qian Weimin nodded, lowered his voice and approached Xie Yu and said, "I saw Xie Jianguo and Chang Meili. They are the ones selling grain..."
Xie Yu: “…”
Well, this news does sound more exciting.
But it's not surprising.
Xie Yu just didn't expect that there were so many things in Chang Meili's space.
Ten tons of food.
Tsk.
If this food is sent to the west for disaster relief, it will definitely help more people.
Xie Yu hesitated for a moment before asking, "Was the price of the grain given to them by Zhou Xiangdong from the beginning, or was it requested by Chang Meili and the others?"
Qian Weimin thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "This is the price Chang Meili wanted, and there was no room for negotiation. The price for the last five tons was double that of the previous five tons. Zhou Xiangdong and his team bought the first five tons at three times the price, and then we gave them the preferential price for the latter."
When he thought of the price of grain, Qian Weimin couldn't help but frown.
The higher-ups asked them to purchase grain, and the price was actually only slightly higher than the grain station.
Not to mention triple, even if it was double, they couldn't come up with that much money.
Qian Weimin felt a headache when he thought about the tasks assigned to him by his superiors.
Now, unless God opens his eyes, it would be a pipe dream for them to get so much food.
Xie Yu's black eyes blinked slightly, as if he was lost in thought.
Qian Weimin didn't dare to disturb Xie Yu. After all, every time he looked like this, he was thinking about something important.
He didn't have anything to do, so at most he just had to wait by the side.
After a moment, Xie Yu asked again: "Did Zhou Xiangdong go there alone?"
Qian Weimin shook his head. "No, Zhou Xiangdong brought two men with him at the time. One was a skinny dwarf, and the other was tall and strong. But both of them looked... emmm... It's hard to describe."
The corners of Xie Yu's mouth curled up slowly, as if he understood something in an instant.
He remembered that Chang Suisui had mentioned before that he wanted to spread the news, probably to lure Chang Meili into the trap.
Now that the person has shown up, there is no reason for her not to show up.
So he guessed that the thin and small man was most likely Chang Suisui in disguise.
As for the relationship between her and Zhou Xiangdong, it might be much better than he imagined.
Xie Yu tapped his fingertips on the back of the chair before he spoke again slowly, "Don't tell anyone about this for now."
Qian Weimin nodded after hearing this, but still asked with some concern: "Brother Xie, then... the food issue..."
"Don't worry about the food. Continue at a normal pace. I will handle the black market matters."
Before Qian Weimin could finish his words, Xie Yu took over his conversation.
Although Chang Suisui didn't say she wanted to help collect grain, she said she would go to the black market to help inquire, which was probably still for the purpose of collecting grain.
As for why she didn't process the food directly through him, he could only wait for Chang Suisui to give him a result.
Seeing how hard she tried to conceal her relationship with Zhou Xiangdong and the others, Xie Yu naturally didn't want to expose her.
I just don't know if she needs his help...
Thinking of this, Xie Yu looked at Qian Weimin and said, "Go again tomorrow. Remember to hide in secret and don't let anyone find you."
He always felt that when they traded tomorrow, it would definitely not be as peaceful as today.
Based on his understanding of Chang Suisui, she is not someone who is willing to hand over money to Chang Meili with both hands.
But Xie Yu didn’t know what she was going to do next, so he could only wait and see.
Xie Yu looked at Qian Weimin and nodded, then reminded him, "No matter what you see, don't make it public. Just come to me. Do you understand?"
"Understood! I promise to complete the task!"
…
In the evening, the setting sun dyed the sky orange.
Chang Suisui was in a good mood because today's plan went smoothly.
She was walking briskly towards the educated youth center.
Then I heard a lot of noise inside the Youth League Institute.
She frowned slightly, pushed open the door and walked in.
In the small courtyard of the educated youth institute, Chang Meili was limping among the crowd, leaning on a slightly old cane.
She held a handful of colorful fruit candies, as well as snacks such as melon seeds and fried peanuts, and distributed them to everyone.
When she heard the noise and looked at the door and saw that the person coming was Chang Suisui, her face suddenly showed a bit of pride and boasting.
"Oh, cousin, you came just in time. I was just about to give out candies to everyone. Do you want to come and share in the good cheer and have some candies? Maybe you and Uncle Xie's wedding will be coming soon..."
As Chang Meili spoke, a hint of barely perceptible sarcasm appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Her voice was sharp and deliberately raised, making it particularly uncomfortable to listen to.
It seems as if every word contains a sharp barb.
Chang Suisui stopped and looked at Chang Meili calmly. He chuckled for a moment, "Oh? Is this wedding candy? Could it be that Xie Jianguo took the initiative to ask you to get the marriage certificate?"
She raised a faint smile and looked at Chang Meili with curiosity.
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, and the smile on Chang Meili's face froze instantly.
"Of course, our marriage is a done deal, and getting the marriage certificate is only a matter of time."
She muttered angrily, but she was obviously not as happy as before.
Because she just then realized that Xie Jianguo seemed to have never mentioned marriage since the last time they were discovered.
"Oh? Really?" Chang Suisui pretended to be thoughtful and thought for a while, "I saw Xie Jianguo leave the town hospital before and go to the state-owned restaurant with a female comrade..."
In this era, a man and a woman would go to a state-owned restaurant alone.
If they are not in a relationship, this also means something like this.
At least the man has the intention to pursue the woman.
Her pupils dilated slightly, and her expression became even uglier when she thought of this.
Chang Meili suddenly remembered that the day Xie Jianguo gave him the money, he was indeed out for a long time before coming back.
He said at the time that he had a stomachache, which was why he was delayed for a long time.
Could it be that... he really went out with another woman as Chang Suisui said?
Chang Meili's heart was in a mess, but she tried to maintain her composure in front of Chang Suisui.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she forced a smile: "You are exaggerating. Brother Jianguo is very good to me. Not only did he take care of me when my leg was injured, he also bought me a lot of things. Look at these... they were all bought for me by Brother Jianguo!"
As Chang Meili spoke, she deliberately raised the snacks in her hand and the watch on her wrist, trying to prove how well she was living.
Chang Suisui raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, "Who bought these things? You should know better than anyone else, right?"
