He doesn't want to go through any more storms now; he just wants stability.
To be honest, if he hadn't been reluctant to part with his brothers and the business he had built from scratch, he would have taken the opportunity to hide away.
"Fifth Brother, we know." The men felt bad seeing him like this, and they also thought of the brothers who followed them.
Back then, everyone was hiding, and many people went out to take the blame to protect them, some even being arrested on the spot...
They're still thinking about saving face. If saving face could bring peace to their brothers, they wouldn't care about saving face.
"Don't look so down. This is good for us too. He's going to sell those goods through us now."
“Things from Shanghai are definitely not insignificant little things. With this news, it will be easier for us to sell our goods.”
"Isn't this unintentionally helping us out? And Li Baichuan has connections behind the scenes."
"To be honest, many times I feel like I can see right through him, but other times I feel like he's very shrewd."
"I don't even know which one is the real him, but his identity is definitely something I can't see through."
"Given his current status, he could have gotten by anywhere, but he ended up in the black market."
“This kind of person is very contradictory. I think that no matter what, it’s because of the Li family behind him or because of him personally, he is not someone you can afford to offend.”
Master Kang said that Li Baichuan was full of questions, and for the first time he felt that he could not see through a person.
Even the most deep-thinking person can always discern a hint of meaning, but Li Baichuan really couldn't say for sure.
Just like this time when he actually stated his purpose, if it were him, he would definitely give a slap and a sweet date to control the person.
But that's what he said, showing no concern whatsoever. It's incomprehensible no matter how you look at it.
"Maybe he's just simple-minded and honest?" Kang Laowu's subordinate muttered as he looked at the man.
"Do you think that's possible? I haven't seen any joy, anger, sorrow or happiness on his face in all this time. He's always expressionless. I thought he had facial paralysis."
Kang Laowu replied, little did he know that his subordinate was right; he had overcomplicated things.
People in higher positions have more ulterior motives, and they simply don't believe someone as straightforward as Li Baichuan.
He only thinks about things in a complicated way, and Li Baichuan has no other tricks up his sleeve, with his wife always coming up with ideas for him.
His fluctuating intelligence makes him even more unpredictable, regardless of what he does, even a simple greeting.
These people will ponder and ponder it again and again, and in the end it may become extremely profound.
Suti knew what kind of man she was, and before she taught him how to manipulate people, she only told him to control his expressions.
Li Baichuan did a great job; he left Kang Laowu feeling uneasy and unable to figure him out.
He drove straight home, parked his car at the entrance of the alley near his house, and then went to the transportation department first.
He and his wife agreed that he would go home at noon, find a secluded place to put the goods on the truck, and then he would take them to Kang Laowu's place.
He has to go back to the Ministry of Transport now. He's been out long enough; if he drags this out any longer, the border town won't be able to handle it.
When Li Baichuan arrived at the transport team, the men there glanced at him and all lowered their heads.
Li Baichuan is now their captain, and his whereabouts are not something they can ask about. No one expected that he had gone out.
I just feel that they are now on par with ministers and directors, and I guess they don't want to be around people like them.
When Biancheng saw the person return, he winked at them and then casually came over to talk to them.
"Brother Chuan, how's it going?" Li Baichuan finally asked when he reached the border town.
"Successfully. I'll go out again during my lunch break, and this matter will be almost settled."
Li Baichuan still trusts Kang Laowu's side, at least for now. They are more worried about him parting ways with them than he imagined.
That's fine too. He'll keep them safe, and they'll help him ship the goods. They'll each be even.
"That's good. The director just came over and talked about bringing in new people to the team. I told him you had an upset stomach and that's why you were distracted."
Actually, the director didn't ask any questions in detail. Where Li Baichuan went was none of his business. He was probably just sitting in the minister's office drinking tea.
"What were their expressions when it came to recruiting?" Li Baichuan hadn't expected the minister to act so quickly and release the news so soon.
"Their eyes lit up, but the director said that the recruitment manager already has someone in mind."
"Anyway, those people's ideas are not going to come true. The minister and the others aren't stupid."
The border town didn't want any newcomers who were too ambitious, like Yu Qingfeng, full of bad intentions; they would be annoyed by them.
"It would be best if one of us was one of our own." Li Baichuan thought for a moment; at least one of the three people had to be one of their own.
For no other reason than to make management easier, and having more of our own people makes it easier to go to Shanghai later.
"Brother Chuan, do you have a suitable candidate? It would be much easier if it were someone from our own circle." Bian Cheng hadn't thought about that, mainly because everyone around him had a job.
People on Brother Chuan's side probably wouldn't think much of the job here.
“Master Lu’s son,” Li Baichuan gave an answer.
Everyone at Lu's workplace knew that his family was poor. His parents were bedridden at home, and he had many children and brothers.
Not only do they have to support their own children, but they also have several younger siblings who are unemployed and have all been sent to the countryside.
Master Lu sends his monthly salary to them in addition to supporting his family; the whole family depends on him alone.
Such a person needs money, but is cautious enough and seeks stability. He knows he cannot afford to get into trouble, because if he does, his family will be ruined.
"Huh? Master Lu's son?" Bian Cheng was taken aback. He thought of Master Lu's eldest son, who was seventeen years old this year and would have to go to the countryside after graduation if he didn't have a job.
"Yes, compared to other things, if Master Lu were given a way to do this, he would be even more devoted."
"Now that he's already on our side, we can't let him get off, but he's not someone who's easy to persuade."
“He’s just pretending not to know anything now. If things get really bad later, he’ll hide and distance himself, but we can’t let him go.”
In the past, Li Baichuan might not have necessarily wanted to involve Master Lu, but he already knew a lot of things.
He wouldn't feel at ease even if we just let him go.
In addition, over this period of time, Li Baichuan has genuinely felt that Master Lu is a good person, steady, reliable, and able to keep his mouth shut.
And the ability to adapt to changing circumstances when handling cargo is not something everyone possesses.
Such a person has something to hide and something to ask for; he feels he can keep his hand by targeting such a person.
If it were someone he wasn't familiar with, no matter how smart he was, he wouldn't dare use them.
