Chapter 388 Play to your strengths and make up for your weaknesses



Back when he was in Yangliu Brigade, he had been cheated and suffered losses when he secretly went to the black market to sell goods, let alone in these big cities.

He doesn't think too highly of himself; he knows that once he leaves the Li family and the Guo family, he's just an ordinary person.

He now has an advantage that others don't have. As long as he stays down-to-earth, his path will be easier than that of ordinary people.

"That's good. Let's practice in these two places first. Even if we suffer losses or get cheated, it's okay. Every fall is experience."

"And no matter what, your life is the most important thing. No matter what kind of goods or how much money they cost, you should give them up when it's time to give them up."

Suti felt she was worrying too much, but she couldn't bear even the slightest danger to Baichuan.

"Yes, I know, I will definitely protect myself." Li Baichuan certainly knew what was most important.

Even when no one cared about him, he knew that as long as he was alive, there was still hope; if he was dead, everything was gone.

Therefore, whenever he fought with his prey, he always held back and never fought to the death.

Besides, his life is so wonderful now that he can't bear to give it up.

"That's good. Go to sleep now. I'll take you sightseeing in Shanghai tomorrow." Su Ti checked the time; it was too late, she really should go to sleep.

Seeing that his wife was sleepy, Li Baichuan hugged her and patted her, secretly thinking about the day's events.

He knew where his weaknesses lay; he didn't have his wife's skills, which allowed her to handle any situation with ease.

But he can learn. Nothing is something you're born knowing. Fortunately, he's still young and can learn slowly.

He mentally analyzed his wife's expression and every word she said that day, trying to put himself in her shoes.

He knew that he was still quite intimidating when he didn't speak, and he considered this to be his advantage.

Another advantage he has over his wife is that he is very good with numbers, sometimes even more so than with an abacus.

He can quickly tell whether the prices of those goods are ripping him off or not, although prices vary from place to place.

He can't compare things from Beijing or Shanghai with things from other places, otherwise he'll be the one who suffers.

He can collect items from below and sell them in Beijing or Shanghai, but items collected in Beijing or Shanghai cannot be sold in those places.

The price was too high, Li Baichuan thought to himself. He wanted to use his strengths to make up for his weaknesses.

That's the only way to go far on this path. He understands everything his wife said, and he will go back and start learning from the Kang family from scratch.

Why not use a ready-made master craftsman?

Li Baichuan went through everything in his mind, making sure there was nothing he had overlooked, before he held his wife and fell asleep.

As for the border town over there, it's fast asleep.

He thought something big was going to happen this time, but he was stopped halfway there while following the route his sister-in-law had drawn.

How could he believe that someone sent by Minister Su was coming to pick him up? If his brother Chuan didn't say so, it must be a lie.

He immediately tried to run away, but they held him back and he couldn't go anywhere. He was furious. It wasn't a big deal that they caught him, but he hadn't completed the task that Brother Chuan had given him.

He initially thought they were going to rob him, but instead they took him to the place his sister-in-law had drawn.

When he arrived at the destination, he gradually discovered that what they said was true; they were his sister-in-law's father's men.

He stayed with them and kept watch. Those Su family members worked all day, and at night, they didn't cause any trouble; they slept like dead pigs.

He also asked those people, and they said they had followed the Su family after they returned.

Not only them, but many people in the brigade were watching them closely, because they were all counting on Su's father to be successful and bring them benefits in the future.

Putting everything else aside, the fertilizer for the past two years was all obtained through connections by Su's father. With the fertilizer, their grain production was the highest among the surrounding brigades.

Because of this, the brigade was always the priority brigade and the red flag brigade, and even the younger generation had an advantage in finding spouses.

The Su family is trying to scheme against Su's father. This is an attempt to make an enemy of the entire brigade. If Su's father loses his job, what benefits will the brigade receive in the future?

Having experienced a good life, how could they possibly accept a change in circumstances? So, fearing they might cause trouble, the brigade kept an even closer eye on them than they did.

I doubt they'll stay here long; they can just come and visit randomly in the future.

Over time, who will remember the Su family? Even if you wanted to use them, they wouldn't be of any use anymore.

Biancheng was happy to hear their words, as this would put Chuan Ge and his wife at ease. But then he thought, hadn't he made a wasted trip?

He originally wanted to go back that night, but these people disagreed no matter what they said, saying they would send him back at dawn.

He tried to reason with them for a long time, but it didn't work. In the end, he could only go to sleep with them, even earlier than Li Baichuan and the others.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Biancheng refused to stay any longer, and those people had no choice but to ride their bicycles and bring him back.

When Biancheng arrived home, Li Baichuan had just gotten up and was getting ready for his morning run.

"Brother Chuan, don't worry, nothing's wrong. Uncle has people over there, and he's already given all the instructions."

Biancheng's disappointed look, as if he had wasted a lot of time and failed to accomplish something important, amused Li Baichuan.

"That's good. Do you want to go for a run?" Li Baichuan was used to going for a morning run, and his family hadn't gotten up yet.

"Let's go, Brother Chuan. Did it go smoothly last night? If I had known there wasn't anything going on with the Su family, I wouldn't have gone." Bian Cheng looked regretful.

"It went very smoothly. The goods have already been transported to Beijing. Our truck belongs to the Ministry of Transport; it's too conspicuous."

Li Baichuan told Biancheng what his wife had said, and that the goods would be sold in batches once they arrived in Beijing.

"That's good. It's a pity I couldn't go. What kind of goods were they? That guy made them sound so amazing." Biancheng was very curious.

"Some medicinal herbs and hides were probably obtained from Heilongjiang Province. There were also some cigarettes and alcohol, which all looked like imported goods. Those people must have quite a wide network."

"We've already agreed to work together again next time, so don't regret it. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. This trip has also made us realize how many shortcomings we have."

"If it weren't for my wife, we would have lost everything, let alone the goods. We were too successful in Beijing. Only after leaving did we realize that there are always people more capable than us."

Li Baichuan talked to Biancheng as he ran; he wanted to study, and so did Biancheng.

"I know, Brother Chuan. I will definitely work hard with you and your wife." Biancheng realized after this trip that he was far inferior to his sister-in-law and Brother Chuan.

He has a long road ahead of him. The two of them have gone through this process and planned out their future development path.
