"It's nothing, it's nothing," Jiang He grinned.
Ye Beiping nodded slightly, stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the restroom, and we'll head out for dinner."
"Okay, okay." Jiang He's grin widened, as if he hadn't eaten for days and had suddenly heard that he could eat.
A dozen minutes later.
Ye Beiping led Jiang He and the other person downstairs. If it weren't for his simple attire, one would have thought he was followed by two bodyguards.
Or if the three of them were to wear military uniforms and walk down the street at this moment, Ye Beiping would definitely be mistaken for a commander from some unit on an inspection tour.
After greeting Grandpa Qin, Ye Beiping took his two brothers to the street.
"That Beiping... what should we eat?" Jiang He swallowed hard, thinking about what delicious food to have.
Seeing Jiang He's greedy expression, Ye Beiping also curled his lip.
Although it was evening, the heat was still intense; as soon as I stepped onto the street, a wave of heat rose from the ground.
Inviting the two brothers to dinner was a minor matter; the main thing was that Ye Beiping had his own agenda.
“Jiang He, let’s postpone the meal. Do you know where there’s a staff housing complex for leather factory workers nearby?” Ye Beiping turned around and looked at the two brothers very seriously.
Jiang He scratched his head and frowned: "The staff quarters, or the leather factory's?"
The two brothers exchanged a glance and both shook their heads.
“We’re not very familiar with Wencheng either, and I only stay in Wencheng for three or four days each time I come. I don’t usually go out, unless I’m picking up goods,” Brother Jiang explained awkwardly.
Ye Beiping felt somewhat helpless about this.
"Okay, let's go ask around and then come back here in ten minutes to meet up."
"Okay." Jiang He and the other person exchanged a glance and nodded.
The three of them then dispersed in three different directions.
After Ye Beiping turned a corner, he found a small shop and got a sugar popsicle.
Eating an ice pop in the summer is such a pleasant thing.
"If we hire someone, we won't have to do this kind of tiring work ourselves, right? It's so hot in the middle of summer." Ye Beiping had thought of this when Jiang He asked to borrow money.
He had been wandering around Wencheng all morning and was drenched in sweat.
Now all you need to do is provide food and lodging, and you'll have two people at your beck and call. Where else can you find such a good deal?
As Ye Beiping ate his popsicle, a slow smile crept onto his lips. He felt like a genius.
In the past, there was no other way; I had to do everything myself because I didn't have enough money.
Although I don't have much money in my pocket right now, it's enough to cover my food and lodging in Wenzhou for a few months.
Ten minutes later.
Ye Beiping slowly walked back to the meeting place and saw the two brothers already waiting there with furrowed brows.
He stepped forward and asked, "Did you find out?"
"Mhm." Jiang He nodded first, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead, and said, "The closest one to us is a state-owned factory called Jiangnan Leather Factory. The staff quarters are about four or five miles away from us."
At this moment, Brother Jiang also spoke up, saying, "The other leather factories are quite far away, about ten miles away."
Two li is one kilometer; that was the common way of saying it back then.
Ye Beiping frowned slightly, thinking: Why is it Jiangnan Leather Factory again?
However, seeing that both brothers were sweating profusely, they would probably complain if they had to walk another ten miles or so to eat dinner.
With a slight sigh, Ye Beiping made a decision: "Then let's have dinner near the staff quarters of the Jiangnan Leather Factory and go take a look."
Following the direction Jiang He had pointed, Ye Beiping took the lead and walked away.
Jiang He, standing behind him, glanced at his older brother and frowned, saying, "Brother, we've all been running and sweating, but he hasn't broken a sweat at all?"
After saying that, he sniffed his own unpleasant body odor and wrinkled his nose in disgust.
Brother Jiang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Why do you care so much? Since Beiping is willing to provide us with food and lodging, we just need to follow him and help him."
He paused, then, remembering the batch of goods that had been stolen from him, gritted his teeth and said, "If I ever find that kid, I'll skin him alive."
After grumbling for a bit, the two brothers followed Ye Beiping.
Ye Beiping, who was walking ahead, also heard Jiang He's words and touched his nose with a slightly guilty feeling.
I thought to myself: I must be more careful next time. After all, I'm not paying people's wages, so I can't let my guard down again. I'm a very conscientious boss.
