Chapter 117
After A-Qiang left, Luo Chunyan quickly came over and asked, "Meimei, who was that?"
When she went to Ah Qiang's place to look for him, she didn't see any of his friends staying at his house.
Ji Wanmei shook her head, not wanting to say anything more, and said, "It's nothing. Let's go buy some paper-cuts and ribbons we need for the opening in a couple of days."
After Ji Wanmei's shop was renovated, its novel and fashionable style aroused the curiosity of the surrounding neighbors.
When they arrived, the shop owners on both sides came over to look at them.
Ji Wanmei smiled at them and silently made a mental note that she would have to buy a few more pounds of candy to distribute to the neighbors so as to build good relationships with everyone.
After leaving Ji Wanmei's shop, Ah Qiang took the envelope and reached out to touch it through the envelope.
There was a stack of banknotes inside, and they felt quite heavy to the touch.
It should be more than the price on the materials list that A-Qiang gave Ji Wanmei.
Ah Qiang was puzzled. Miss Ji told him to take the things back to his friend. Did she mean she was giving him money?
Unable to resist any longer, and since the envelope had already been torn open with a knife, Ah Qiang opened it a crack and peeked inside with his eyes half-closed.
I didn't see anything because the photo was hidden under the money.
Ah Qiang ran back to his recycling station, rushed into the house, and shouted, "Brother Lei, Brother Lei, get up!"
Lei Tingjun's face was still covered by the old newspaper. He didn't move when he heard the sound, and said in a flat tone, "What's wrong?"
"This is something Miss Ji asked me to bring to you."
Lei Tingjun abruptly threw off the newspaper covering his face, and his tall body sat up instantly.
The oppressive atmosphere that had been surrounding him suddenly came alive.
"Give me."
When Lei Tingjun saw that it was an envelope, he thought it was a letter from Ji Wanmei. His heart pounded, and he practically snatched the envelope from A Qiang's hand.
Ah Qiang: "Hey, that's..."
Before he could even finish his sentence, the envelope was already in Lei Ge's hands.
Lei Tingjun quickly tore open the envelope and first shook out several tens of yuan. He couldn't help but frown.
Did Ji Wanmei give him money?
Ah Qiang then said, "This money should be the material fee paid by Miss Ji."
Lei Tingjun frowned again, and only then did he pick up the envelope and glance at it, noticing that there was a stamp on it.
The scenery on the stamp is Leifeng Pagoda in West Lake.
Lei Tingjun immediately thought of something, reached into the envelope again, and finally pulled out a photo from the very back.
In the photo, he stares at Ji Wanmei like a fool, while Ji Wanmei looks at the camera with her eyes crinkled and a smile on her face.
The sunlight from West Lake shone on her face; she looked beautiful.
"What?" A-Qiang craned his neck to try and see.
Lei Tingjun immediately put away the photo with a blank expression, refusing to show it to him.
Ah Qiang looked aggrieved; he had just seen it—it was a photograph.
What's wrong with looking at photos?
"Do you have scissors?" Lei Tingjun asked.
"Yes, I do." Ah Qiang went to the back kitchen and brought back a pair of scissors. "Brother Lei, what are you going to do?"
Lei Tingjun grabbed a pair of scissors and snipped off a third of the photo.
Under A-Qiang's dumbfounded gaze, Lei Tingjun cut the horizontally taken photo of the three of them into a photo of himself and Ji Wanmei.
In Lei Tingjun's eyes, Luo Chunyan, who was superfluous and an eyesore, was cut off without hesitation and thrown into the trash can.
Ah Qiang glanced at the half-photo that had fallen out of the trash can and asked, "Brother Lei, this... you don't want it anymore?"
Lei Tingjun glanced at the photo he had edited, turning it into a picture of him and Ji Wanmei, and finally smiled with satisfaction.
He carefully placed the photo in his hand into his shirt pocket and gave a soft "hmm".
Ah Qiang silently picked up Luo Chunyan's half-photo: "If you don't want it, can I have this one?"
Lei Tingjun then glanced at him and said, "Whatever."
Ah Qiang happily picked up Luo Chunyan's photo.
***
The next day, goods ordered by Ji Wanmei from Zhejiang began to arrive in Pingquan County.
The address that Ji Wanmei left at that time was the address of the shop.
Because the goods need to be checked and inventoried at any time, Luo Chunyan will officially be stationed at the store starting today.
Ji Wanmei originally meant that she would start working officially today.
However, Luo Chunyan disagreed no matter what she said.
She said, "The store hasn't officially opened yet, so how can I officially start working? I'll start working on the day the store officially opens."
Luo Chunyan was keeping watch here, and Ji Wanmei wasn't idle either.
She went to the factory again to make the final purchase.
First, she went through the formal procurement channels to obtain the factory's allocated share of goods, and then she took the goods she needed to the export department to pick them up.
Although everyone knows that Ji Wanmei is the daughter of Factory Director Ji.
However, this time, Ji Wanmei was there on official business.
To avoid suspicion, she didn't involve her father at all in this matter from beginning to end.
The head of the export department was Director Sun, the same Director who helped Ji Xingguo deliver vegetables that day—the Yang family's top lackey.
However, for now, Factory Director Ji Xingguo's position remains unshaken, while Director Sun is adept at changing his stance depending on the situation, and when he sees Ji Wanmei, he smiles like a lapdog.
Yang Zhiping was also there when Ji Wanmei left.
Although he was beaten by Lei Tingjun that day.
But Yang Zhiping knew very well that Lei Tingjun had already been dismissed, and he could not repeat the same trick as Zuo Quangui before, pretending to be sick and causing a commotion at the hospital.
