Chapter 89
Ji Wanmei thought that even a lowly staff member like Officer Li would use the official name to seek personal benefits when traveling on business.
Not to mention those ambitious and treacherous individuals like Yang Changhua and Yang Zhiping.
If people are greedy, no amount of benefits or advantages can satisfy them.
Luo Chunyan had never dealt with this kind of thing before and had no idea how deep the water really was.
She would never know.
When Yang Zhiping, a recent college graduate, first met Ji Wanmei, he immediately spent several hundred yuan on export goods.
His father, Yang Changhua, earned less than Ji Wanmei's father, Ji Xingguo.
Even when Ji Xingguo buys an electric fan or a refrigerator, he has to save for a month or two to free up the extra money.
This is because there are only two people in their family, so their food and expenses are low.
Yang Zhiping's family has four members to support.
Logically speaking, they should be part of Luo Chunyan's family, with more people eating and going to school, which would make things even tighter.
They took advantage of Ji Xingguo's trust and treated people like fools.
Ji Wanmei didn't want to think about the unpleasant things that happened between the father and son; just thinking about it made her feel bad.
He then said to Luo Chunyan, "It's getting late, let's quickly wash up and rest."
The guesthouse is quite nice; it has a private restroom, so you don't have to go to the public restroom outside and squeeze in with others.
And thankfully it's summer now, so even taking a cold shower won't cause any problems.
Ji Wanmei had been running around all day, and then spent a day and a night on the train. After sweating, she felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
She planned to take a shower before going to sleep.
Luo Chunyan took a towel and went into the bathroom. As she turned on the tap, she asked Ji Wanmei, "Meimei, is there an extra charge for water at this guesthouse?"
Luo Chunyan had never stayed in a guesthouse before, partly because she was used to being frugal at home.
We usually use water very sparingly.
It's like the water used to wash your hands, which you have to save to flush the toilet; or the water used to wash vegetables, which you collect in a bucket and then use to water the plants.
Ji Wanmei smiled and said, "No need, it's just for one night's stay and washing up. How much water can we use? Just wash up without worry."
Luo Chunyan was delighted to hear this.
She said, "Since the water is free, I'll take a shower."
A short while later, Ji Wanmei heard Luo Chunyan's cheerful singing coming from the restroom.
Luo Chunyan sings quite well; she's suited to singing folk songs and mountain songs, and her voice is very clear and resonant.
Sometimes Ji Wanmei felt that with Luo Chunyan's cheerful personality and good singing voice, if her family had the means, it would be a good way for her to learn to sing.
But such a thought only lasted for a moment.
Ji Wanmei smiled, took out the purchase orders and receipts from the wholesale market that day from her bag, walked to the small table by the bedside, and began to calculate how much money she had spent that day.
Every order comes with a receipt.
Those receipts are proof of receipt for future orders and delivery; you must keep them safe.
Ji Wanmei scribbled in her notebook and quickly filled out today's order list.
She spent a total of 417.53 yuan.
The accounts are complete, with both odd and even amounts.
In her original plan, the purchase cost should not exceed five hundred yuan.
But now it seems she'll have to spend at least another hundred dollars tomorrow.
Sigh, it's definitely going to exceed the standard.
There were so many beautiful things that even Ji Wanmei lacked the willpower to remain unmoved.
Ji Wanmei still had four or five hundred yuan on her, and she kept some as emergency working capital.
Moreover, Ji Wanmei didn't plan to spend the extra two hundred yuan her father had given her before she left.
When we get back, we'll return it to her father.
Giving her a thousand yuan as investment capital is more than enough.
Ji Wanmei also wanted her father to see her business acumen and capabilities.
She is capable of earning money on her own.
Furthermore, after personally visiting Zhejiang to investigate the market, Ji Wanmei was very confident that the batch of goods she selected would definitely sell well back home.
"Tomorrow, no matter what good stuff I see, it can't be more than two hundred yuan."
Ji Wanmei said this to herself.
After she finished writing down all the notes, Luo Chunyan came out after washing up and was wringing her hair with a dry towel.
She said to Ji Wanmei, "Taking a cold shower feels so good! Meimei, I'm done showering, you should go take a shower too!"
"Okay." Ji Wanmei put the things away and into her bag.
Then she took out a cotton floral dress from her small suitcase and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Ji Wanmei doesn't plan to wash her hair.
Her hair is long and thick, and if she washes it with cold water, it will take a long time to dry without a hairdryer.
This guesthouse is not equipped to provide hot water to all rooms. If you want to take a hot shower, you have to go to the hot water room on the first floor to get hot water yourself.
There's really no need for that.
Furthermore, if you go to sleep with your hair still wet after washing it at night, you are more likely to develop headaches and rheumatism.
Besides, she doesn't have oily hair, and her hair isn't dirty.
So when she takes a cold shower, she ties all her hair on top of her head with a rubber band to keep it from getting wet.
After taking a shower, washing her face, and brushing her teeth, Ji Wanmei felt refreshed and cool all over.
She let her hair down, changed into a clean floral sundress, and left the bathroom.
Seeing that Meimei had changed her clothes, Luo Chunyan said, "Meimei, you even brought a change of pajamas?"
