Chapter 13 The Ungrateful Man Who Sold His Sisters to Escape the Mountains
When Zhang Xiaoxiao heard that her brother Ji Xiang was going to call home to let them know she was safe, her face immediately fell.
Ji Huaizhi ignored the girl's gaze; Ji Xiang's personality wasn't suited to playing with someone so cunning.
When the time comes, we'll separate the two of them to get things done.
After finishing his meal, Jiang Fulin came over and was somewhat surprised to see so many people in the room. He thought they were all from Brother Ji's village.
"Brother Ji."
Ji Huaizhi tossed him a pack of cigarettes, which Jiang Fulin then handed out to everyone. Of the four grown men, only two smoked.
"I'm going to Quanzhou later. I'll take two people with me. You can contact someone to have the other two take their driving tests. All the brothers will need to take them in the future. The money will come from the account. Find a reliable driving instructor and give them a red envelope."
Ji Huaizhi wanted to make arrangements before leaving: "When you have free time, let them learn things with you, the little monkey, and Youliang."
Then he looked at the newcomers and said, "These are not difficult. Just follow their instructions and be bold."
He then pointed to Ji Xiang and introduced her to Jiang Fulin separately: "This is Ji Xiang, my younger sister. When I'm not around, please keep an eye on them for me. They'll be staying in the house next to yours."
"After I came back, Ji Xiang lived with me. And this one next door too..."
Ji Huaizhi looked at Zhang Xiaoxiao, forgetting her name.
Zhang Xiaoxiao looked a little embarrassed and forced a smile: "Brother, my name is Zhang Xiaoxiao."
"Call me Brother Ji."
Then he continued to Jiang Fulin: "Let Zhang Xiaoxiao go to the clothing and apparel industry first and see if she can handle it. If she can't, then let her go to the farmers' market to wholesale dried seafood."
After speaking, Ji Huaizhi felt thirsty, and Ji Hong noticed and poured him a glass of warm water.
Zhang Xiaoxiao frowned after hearing this.
If you can't finish this, go to the market?
Ji Xiang's brother really doesn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman.
“Brother…that Brother Ji.” Zhang Xiaoxiao opened her mouth.
Everyone was listening carefully to what Ji Huaizhi had to say, and when Zhang Xiaoxiao spoke, all eyes turned to her.
"Brother Ji, have you forgotten about Xiangxiang?" Zhang Xiaoxiao reminded him, "You didn't assign Xiangxiang any work."
Ji Huaizhi cleared his throat but didn't immediately respond to her.
Ji Xiang looked at her second brother cautiously, sensing that he seemed angry.
Jiang Fulin glanced at Zhang Xiaoxiao speechlessly: "What kind of work does Brother Ji's sister do?"
Zhang Xiaoxiao could barely maintain her composure, and gave an awkward laugh: "Oh right, I forgot. Hehe."
Ji Huaizhi put down his cup and said to Jiang Fulin, "When I'm not around, please work harder. When you have some free time, find an accounting class or an experienced accountant to teach Ji Xiang accounting."
"It's best if we have our own people handle these accounting matters. I'll take care of them until she learns how."
"Also, if you have someone you can trust, you can send them to study there as well."
Jiang Fulin nodded and noted it down.
Ji Xiang felt both expectant and nervous upon hearing this; she was determined to learn how to help her second brother as soon as possible.
Zhang Xiaoxiao was very unhappy after hearing this.
The village girl he looked down on was actually a head taller than him.
Ji Huaizhi asked Ji Xiang to bring over the bag he had placed on the bench. After opening it, he took out a thick stack of contents and gave it to Jiang Fulin.
Jiang Fulin was not surprised.
He'd gotten used to Brother Ji's casual way of tossing money around.
But everyone else's eyes widened in disbelief.
“This is definitely enough. The business is almost done, and we need to get some money into the account soon.” Jiang Fulin weighed the banknotes in his hand.
"Zhang Da and Zhang Er, get some rest today. You'll come with me to another place tomorrow." Ji Huaizhi looked at the two brothers, who were the village chief's sons.
That old fox brought both of his sons over.
Who is as shrewd as him?
Zhang Er nodded, showing his pragmatism: "Okay, Brother Ji, just tell me what you need to do."
Ji Huaizhi thought the village chief's youngest son was quite clever.
Ji Huaizhi addressed the other two, Wang Dashan and Yu Hai, saying:
"Study hard, everyone who comes here will eventually have a chance to go out and see the world."
"Work hard with me and I won't treat you unfairly."
"Okay, Brother Ji."
"We will definitely do our best!"
After their conversation, the four men went out to make phone calls. They were all looking forward to their future lives, and they felt that coming to the provincial capital was definitely the right decision!
Zhang Xiaoxiao originally wanted Ji Xiang to go with her, but Ji Huaizhi kept her behind.
I had to go out and make the call all by myself.
Even though she was going to get scolded, Zhang Xiaoxiao still decided to make a phone call back.
Jiang Fulin put the money away and said, "Brother Ji, I still need to recruit more people, right?"
Ji Huaizhi nodded: "Yes, we should train them well once we recruit them. There will be so many things to do, such as purchasing goods, delivering goods, and going to wholesale markets in other places. We can't always be the ones leading them."
Jiang Fulin nodded.
"By the way, recruit more girls. Don't look at their looks, look at their abilities." Ji Huaizhi thought that women at this time were all iron ladies, and their abilities were not bad.
"To succeed in sales and market outreach, you need excellent communication skills."
Jiang Fulin nodded and glanced at Ji Xiang, knowing that the two siblings were about to speak.
"Okay, I'll go out and keep an eye on them for a while and then take them back to their dorms."
Ji Huaizhi waved his hand, telling them to go.
After talking for so long, Ji Huaizhi's throat was dry.
He picked up his water glass again and took a sip: "How's things at home?"
The original owner of this body was a complete scoundrel and never gave this little sister a kind look. She basically made her do his laundry, cook for him, and serve him tea and water.
Sometimes he would even hit her.
Her personality is a result of her family background.
"Things are alright at home... My parents go to the fields every day, and I stay home cutting pig feed, cooking, feeding the pigs, and gathering firewood," Ji Xiang said haltingly.
"Mom and Dad asked me to ask you why you asked Uncle Village Chief to find someone, saying that you..." Ji Xiang glanced at her brother's face:
"You're brainless. You make money without bringing your own relatives along, only outsiders."
"Did your aunt and uncle cause trouble at home?" Ji Huaizhi asked.
Ji Xiang nodded, looking at her brother's face as he inexplicably started complaining. In the past, she would never tell her second brother anything.
Including being bullied, after all, it was already good enough that my second brother didn't bully me in the past.
Perhaps her brother protected her when she got married last time, and she wanted him to protect her again.
“Before I came to the provincial capital, my aunt brought my cousin to our house. She insisted that my cousin come along, but Uncle Village Chief wouldn’t buy him a ticket.” A layer of mist rose in Ji Xiang’s eyes:
"My aunt tried to steal my ticket and even pinched me."
"My cousin pinched me along with my aunt, and his hands were placed in places they shouldn't have."
Ji Huaizhi frowned after listening: "Did you tell Mom?"
"Mom said he definitely didn't do it on purpose."
Ji Xiang's voice trailed off: "He did it on purpose, it's not the first time."
Ji Huaizhi was furious. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't keep it to yourself. I'll teach him a lesson next time I go back."
Ji Xiang felt a pang of sadness; her second brother believed in her.
They didn't say it was my own problem.

During her evening rest, Zhang Xiaoxiao chatted with Ji Xiang:
"Ji Xiang, what did your brother do before? How did he come up with so much money?"
Ji Xiang shook her head in the darkness: "I don't know either. I heard from my family before that my brother was doing business in Guangzhou. I don't know why he came to the provincial capital to do business again."
"So your brother is really capable?" Zhang Xiaoxiao's mind started racing. "Do you know what kind of business your brother is in?"
Ji Xiang turned over: "Actually, I don't know either. Weren't we talking about clothing and apparel, and also about the farmers' market today?"
