After dinner, Qian Duoduo went to the warehouse and asked the warehouse manager for a key to the steel bar warehouse, saying that steel bars were arriving. However, she refused the warehouse manager's offer to accompany her, only saying that she would record the order later.
She found a secluded spot, slipped into the farm space, ate something comfortably, and was about to leave when she saw Han Jun's shelf appear. She went over to take a look and shook her head helplessly. This guy really thought of her as an old farmer who grows spiritual herbs. But then she thought about it and realized that she really was an old farmer who grew spiritual herbs, and a very obedient one at that!
She carefully emerged from the spatial dimension and walked to the warehouse where the steel bars were stored. After confirming that no one was around, she quickly opened the warehouse door and slipped inside.
The warehouse was empty, and with no moon tonight, it was pitch black. But this environment was more convenient for Qian Duoduo. She walked skillfully to a corner and carefully placed the large amount of steel bars she had previously purchased from Su Ruanruan.
After all the steel bars were properly placed, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but marvel again at the convenience brought by this magical space. The ease with which dozens of tons of steel bars could be moved, and the complete silence, was simply an invincible "cheating" tool! Thinking this, she turned around with satisfaction and clapped her hands lightly, as if paying homage to this amazing space. Then, she carefully checked the surroundings again to make sure nothing was missed, and after confirming everything was in order, she quickly walked to the door and locked it again.
The next morning, Qian Duoduo strolled leisurely towards Qian Mao's office. Just then, Qian Mao walked towards him and, seeing Qian Duoduo's relaxed demeanor, couldn't help but ask, "Hey Duoduo, have those steel bars arrived yet?"
Upon hearing the voice, Qian Duoduo's expression faltered slightly. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she raised her hand and slapped her forehead, laughing as she replied, "Oh dear, look at my memory! It arrived a long time ago. I delivered it last night, but I was so busy that I forgot to tell you." As she spoke, her eyes were clear and open, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever.
Upon hearing this, Qian Mao glanced at Qian Duoduo suspiciously, seemingly trying to glean some clue from her expression. However, Qian Duoduo acted so naturally that it was difficult to suspect anything. Therefore, Qian Mao nodded, indicating that he believed Qian Duoduo's words, and then said, "In that case, let's hurry and go check the warehouse."
The two arrived at the warehouse together. Seeing the sturdy padlock on the door, the warehouse manager quickly pulled out a key and unlocked it. With a crisp click, the warehouse door slowly opened. The group stepped inside and were instantly stunned by what they saw—it was filled with densely packed bundles of steel bars, almost completely overflowing the warehouse!
Faced with such a spectacular scene, the warehouse manager was speechless with astonishment, muttering to himself, "What... what's going on? How did so many steel bars suddenly appear?"
He hadn't heard a sound, so how did so many steel bars appear? Suddenly, he remembered that the boss had asked him for the keys—could it be for these steel bars?
Qian Mao also saw the expression on the warehouse manager's face. Although he didn't understand, he knew how to accept it!
With this batch of steel bars, the construction site got back to work in full swing. Everyone thought their boss was incredibly resourceful; when the steel bar supplier ran out of stock, the boss said he had actually managed to procure it.
Even the villagers who came here from Beian Village to work were whispering and gossiping: "Look at Qian Duoduo! The connections she has are truly extraordinary! They're incredibly powerful!"
The original steel bar supplier, on the other hand, was filled with regret and frustration. He had only intended to slightly raise the price, never expecting things to escalate to this point. Now, the deal was completely off! So, he swallowed his pride and went back to Qian Mao, trying to salvage the business.
However, despite his persistent pleas, Qian Mao maintained a smile, neither explicitly agreeing nor directly refusing. He simply said, "I'll contact you again after all this batch of newly delivered materials has been used up." Hearing this, the steel supplier, though utterly helpless, had no choice but to leave dejectedly.
As he walked, he couldn't help but curse himself under his breath: "Oh dear, how could I be so stupid? For such a small gain, I actually did something so foolish that will ruin my future! I'm so regretful!"
Back home, still seething with anger, he launched into a tirade against his brother-in-law the moment he saw him. The brother-in-law stood by, head bowed, silently enduring the scolding, his heart filled with helplessness and resentment. After all, he never expected that the guy from the countryside would have such ability to procure so much steel.
It wasn't until later, when the supplier's brother-in-law was currying favor with the county party secretary's secretary, that he inadvertently learned a secret while drinking and chatting: it turned out that Qian Mao, who seemed like an ordinary person, had a powerful background—Qian Mao was actually the former secretary of the provincial party secretary, Lu Jiang! Upon hearing this news, the brother-in-law was stunned and filled with remorse.
At this moment, he finally understood why Qian Mao had been able to acquire the land for that factory so easily—he was truly extraordinary! Thinking this, the brother-in-law secretly considered whether to keep this news a secret. If his brother-in-law found out, given his fiery temper, he would definitely blame him for not investigating the situation beforehand and for his incompetence. Therefore, after a fierce internal struggle, the brother-in-law ultimately decided to suppress the news for now and wait for the right opportunity to make further plans.
These days, Qian Duoduo has been busy traveling between the county town and Harbin, making several trips back and forth. The eight-story building is nearing completion, and the workers are working feverishly on the project.
Seeing that the building was almost finished, Qian Duoduo discussed with Qian Mao, "Let Brother Qian Gui take care of his work these next few days. He's coming to Pengcheng with me to replace Brother Qian Yin. I'll also be staying in Pengcheng for a while."
Qian Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll feel more at ease if you're there. But what about my studies here if you go there?"
Qian Duoduo said, "I've already told my teacher about my situation. I'll only be there for a month or two at most. It's the growing season for plants right now, so I'm not worried."
Qian Mao nodded: "Okay, if Professor Yuan can release the person, I have nothing to worry about."
