Chapter 225 Being Watched
Inside the specialty products company, a group of people stared wide-eyed at the few pieces of leather on the counter.
Behind the counter, the manager looked at Sheng Xiping expectantly, wondering if the price he offered would satisfy Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping mentally calculated that the price offered by this director was a bit higher than that from Songjianghe, but roughly in line with his expectations.
There were quite a few people in the room at the moment. Who knew if there were any people among them who were greedy for money?
Since it's pretty much what I expected, I should sell it quickly, take the money and leave, to avoid any mishaps.
"Okay, let's go with this price." Sheng Xiping nodded to the director.
Upon hearing this, the director immediately ordered someone to issue an invoice.
Over there, the staff quickly took out two bundles of ten-yuan bills and counted out the money according to the previous amount.
"Here is 1,830 yuan. Count it." The staff counted it twice and then handed the money to Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping took the money, counted it, and confirmed that it was correct. He then quickly stuffed the money and tickets into his pocket.
Inside that cotton-padded jacket was a pocket that Sheng Xiping had specially asked Zhang Shuzhen to sew on the night before last.
Sew pockets into your clothes to hold money; this is something most people do these days.
When traveling, you must be extra careful with your money; there's nowhere safer than keeping it close to your body.
Therefore, many people sew pockets onto their shirts, undershirts, and even underwear to hold money.
Sheng Xiping estimated that they could make a lot of money this time, so he specially asked his mother to sew a larger piece of cloth into the lining of her cotton-padded jacket to make a pocket.
Since there was no zipper at home, Sheng Xiping found two safety pins, put the money in his pocket, and then fastened the pocket with the safety pins.
This way, the money won't just disappear into thin air, making it safer.
Sheng Xiping carefully put away the money and tickets, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he, Gao Haining, and Chen Weiguo left the acquisition station.
Across from the purchasing station, Wang Jianshe and Zhang Zhijun saw Sheng Xiping and the others come out. Just as they were about to step forward, they saw Sheng Xiping shake her head.
Wang Jianshe immediately understood, and led the two of them to stay where they were, watching Sheng Xiping and the others walk forward.
Then, four or five people came out of the purchasing station and followed Sheng Xiping and his group.
"Brother Jianshe, don't you think those people are a bit odd? Aren't they following Brother Xiping and the others?"
Zhang Zhijun felt that something was not right, so he asked Wang Jianshe.
"Yes, it should be. Let's go and see."
Wang Jianshe also realized something was wrong; those people were clearly following Sheng Xiping and his group.
What's going on? Could it be that they made too much money and got targeted?
It's possible that a single lynx pelt is worth a lot of money, not to mention musk and leopard skins, which could easily cost thousands.
And so, Wang Jianshe and his two companions followed behind those people, walking forward.
"Xiping, where are we going?"
Chen Weiguo found it strange that Sheng Xiping didn't meet up with Wang Jianshe and the others, but instead walked straight ahead. Where was he going?
"It's alright, let's find a place to eat and sit down to talk." Sheng Xiping had already noticed that someone was following them.
Since ancient times, wealth has not been flaunted. It's normal for people to covet so much money they suddenly acquired.
However, it was broad daylight, and this place was the center of the county town, quite bustling and lively, so those people dared not do anything.
The department store is located in the center of the county town, so there are naturally state-run restaurants nearby.
Sheng Xiping and his group hadn't gone far when they saw the restaurant, so they stepped inside.
Those following behind were caught in a dilemma.
Let's go inside; that's where they eat, and it costs money.
They weren't quite ready to give up, though; they still wanted to find an opportunity to try and maybe make some money.
The group huddled together to discuss the matter and finally decided that they would wait outside the state-run restaurant until the three people finished their meal and came out, and then they would follow them.
Wang Jianshe and the other two were behind, and they saw clearly what the people in front were doing.
The three of them pretended to be nonchalant, walked past the group of people, and swaggered into the state-run restaurant.
Inside the restaurant, Sheng Xiping and his two companions had already found a place to sit. When they saw Wang Jianshe and his group enter, the three of them didn't greet them, acting as if they didn't know them.
Wang Jianshe and the other two didn't say a word and went straight to find a place to sit down.
These days, restaurants don't have many waiters, and most of the time, they don't just cook whatever you order.
Everything the kitchen is making that day is written on the wall, and customers can simply order from the menu written on the blackboard.
Wang Jianshe and Sheng Xiping got up at the same time to order food. While they were ordering, Wang Jianshe told Sheng Xiping about the situation outside.
Sheng Xiping nodded. "Okay, I understand. Let's eat first, no rush."
The security situation isn't that bad yet. In broad daylight, and in a state-run restaurant, no one would dare to come in and cause trouble.
They can just eat in peace, it's okay.
So, the group ordered their food, each person also asked for six ounces of rice, and then gave the money and food coupons to the restaurant staff before sitting down to eat.
Sheng Xiping ate quickly, and after he finished, he went over and handed a cigarette to the restaurant staff.
Then I struck up a conversation with them, chatting casually for a bit.
Northeasterners are naturally outgoing and can chat with anyone.
Not to mention, Sheng Xiping even gave that person a good cigarette; he couldn't let the words fall to the ground.
If you chat like that, you'll become familiar with each other, right?
"Hey? Comrade, do you have a toilet in the back of your restaurant? My stomach is a little upset."
