Ever since Miao Jianye took over the black market, the supply of grain and oil has stabilized, and the people of the provincial capital have become more resilient, unlike the frequent riots in neighboring provinces. Therefore, the higher-ups have turned a blind eye to the existence of the black market.
In addition, Miao Jianye and his subordinates were very capable and had stable relationships with their superiors. Therefore, the black market was never raided by patrol teams.
When Miao Jianye saw Ruan Tang coming to his office to look for him, he knew something was wrong.
When doing things, of course we must adopt an attitude of getting things done right.
"You already have the purchase order, so why not go to the person in charge of the vegetable market? It's unnecessary to go to our black market. After all, our prices are higher."
He showed his attitude, but his hands uncontrollably moved a chair to Ruan Tang's side.
After finishing all this, Miao Jianye clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He thought, "How could he, the head of the Tangtang Black Market, be so servile?! If the people under him saw this, how would he maintain his authority in the future?"
"Brother-in-law, my sister is not at the black market today? I'm looking for her for something."
Miao Jianye's back, which had just straightened up, bent again, and he sincerely helped Ruan Tang sit down on the chair.
"Xiaotang, didn't my brother-in-law come with you? He is so generous that he let you come here alone." Miao Jianye took the opportunity to put pressure on Ji Nanfeng. It was his wife who threatened to complain to him.
Ever since she became pregnant, Ruan Tang has been impatient to use her brain and prefers to make simple and rough threats.
"Since my sister is not here, I will go back home first. I will look for her at my home."
Miao Jianye quickly stopped Ruan Tang. What a joke! How could he not know that his wife was a jerk? If Ruan Tang handed the purchase order to his wife, she would make him lose everything.
"Xiaotang, let's talk about what we have to say."
Ruan Tang raised the corner of her mouth. "That's not right. Our brother-in-law and sister-in-law are alone in a room. It's easy for outsiders to misunderstand. Let my sister come in."
Miao Jianye felt a sharp pain in his head and begged for mercy, "We are honest people and don't mind gossip. Let's get down to business now. Show me the purchase order and I'll give you the lowest price."
Seeing that he was being asked, Ruan Tang accepted it and pushed the purchase order past him.
Due to the shortage of live pigs in the Yangtze River Delta, pork, which used to cost only 70 cents per catty, now costs 1 yuan per catty with a ticket at the vegetable market, and 1.8 yuan per catty without a ticket on the black market.
The market only supplies three pigs a day, and people have to queue up before dawn to buy pork.
Therefore, even if she took the purchase order and went to the vegetable market to place an order, she would not be able to get more than 20 pigs.
Offal and meat cost eight pounds, and the medical staff, interns, and logistics staff of the Provincial First Hospital were over 200 people. With 20 pigs, there was definitely a surplus, and the extra meat could be sold to wealthy families. No meat coupons were required, so naturally, many people were vying for it.
"Our purchase price is definitely higher than the market price. It's impossible to keep up with the market price. Without further ado, let the pigs be packed in and we'll charge 1.15 yuan per jin (approximately 100g) and make a dime to feed the brothers."
"Isn't that overloading? With so many pigs, overloading is dangerous, right?"
Miao Jianye glanced at Ruan Tang and asked, "What about 1.4 per pound?"
Ruan Tang slapped herself softly. "1.15 is still a better price. It shows that we are a family."
"Don't tell anyone about this price. It's almost Chinese New Year, and many companies are going to order live pigs for welfare benefits."
"Then I'll tell people it's 1.4 per pound?"
"That's fine. We'll eventually bring in the medical system and the five major factories."
Ruan Tang was shocked. Their province only had a little over 200 people, and they needed 20 pigs. The five major factories combined had tens of thousands of people! Could the black market even handle so many pigs?
Seeing Ruan Tang's eyebrows fluttering in shock, Miao Jianye explained humbly, "Do you think every factory is as wealthy as your province and can afford to give workers 10 yuan as a New Year's gift? Big factories only give rewards to outstanding workers."
"But I heard that the medical system has more money this year because of the cooperation with the factory doctor..." The rest of the words are self-explanatory.
As expected of a businessman, he is not willing to suffer any loss.
Ruan Tang said she would try her best, and then put forward a purchase order for fish.
Miao Jianye quoted a price and put on an ugly smile, "Do you want to go by yourself, or should I take you there?"
General, get out.
Ruan Tang rolled away quickly.
"Where's my back? Why can't I stand up straight? What bad things did I do in my past life to have met this couple..."
Miao Jianye cursed and was about to close the door.
The door was held shut by an external force.
As soon as Miao Jianye opened the door, he saw Ruan Tang looking at him with a smile.
"Scold me?"
Miao Jianye did not deny it. He had been scolded and heard everything, so it was too late to deny it.
"I applied to my superiors for an assistant, and the application has been approved."
Ruan Tang deliberately dragged out the last word and said slowly, "But judging from your expression, brother-in-law, you probably don't want my sister to work with me."
Because of the fake pregnancy incident, Ruan Tang has always blamed herself.
Although Liu Xiangyun's life had come to an end and Ruan Tang took her for a full-body check-up, Miao Jianye was busy with work and Liu Xiangyun was a homebody. She stayed at home fiddling with the broken tortoise shell all the time, which made her prone to overthinking.
After Liu Xiangyun's approval, Ruan Tang applied for an assistant. The hospital paid half and Ruan Tang paid half.
However, Ruan Tang didn't want to come out with this half now.
Ruan Tang doesn't want to go out, but Miao Jianye is willing to go out.
Liu Xiangyun is a slow-warm person, so he got along well with Ruan Tang. With Ruan Tang's guidance, Liu Xiangyun also got to know some people, and he became a lot happier.
"Tsk, my wife works, my husband pays her salary, and all she does is play with romance. She can't compare to you guys."
Ruan Tang left the appointment letter as the dean's assistant and left.
For the sake of the purchase order, Ruan Tang left this surprise to Miao Jianye and asked Miao Jianye to take it home.
On the way home, I happened to meet the third dean of the city government coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative with his men. "A pound of candy for each person, plus two cans of food. This should be a very impressive New Year's gift."
"Oh."
Ruan Tang glanced at the small notebook in the hands of the director of the Third Municipal Hospital. "Uncle Luo, at your Third Municipal Hospital, only children deserve to celebrate the New Year, right? The medical staff toil all year long, and in the end, all the New Year's goods go into the mouths of children?"
When the third dean of the city hospital saw Ruan Tang, he quickly put the small notebook in his pocket.
"Xiaotang, are you here to check out the New Year's goods too? I just ran into a few deans at the supply and marketing cooperative."
Every time this time comes, every unit starts preparing New Year’s goods.
Ruan Tang approached the Third Dean of the Municipal Hospital and said mysteriously, "Five pounds of meat and one fish."
When the third dean of the city hall heard this, he knew that Ruan Tang must have a way, so he asked in a low voice how much money he wanted.
Ruan Tang first gestured with one finger, then with four fingers.
1.4 yuan per pound, cheaper than the black market price and acceptable.
Their hospital has few staff and with the income from factory-doctor cooperation, although it is not as much as what big factories give, it is enough for their hospital.
After weighing the pros and cons, the third dean of the city hospital asked Ruan Tang to wait for a moment. He turned back and went into the supply and marketing cooperative. After talking with several other deans, he asked Ruan Tang to help make the connection.
It was not Miao Jianye who entertained the group from the Third Municipal Hospital. In the end, considering the group purchase, he offered a price of 1.35 yuan per catty.
Director Luo of the Third Municipal Hospital asked the black market manager to remember to give Ruan Tang the group purchase price as well, and not to make an extra profit of even five cents.
Ruan Tang lowered her head silently, she was ashamed.
