Just as they were getting ready, Jiang Xile heard a jumble of footsteps coming from not far away, mixed with the sound of wheels rolling.
Hidden in the shadows, Jiang Xile quickly climbed to the treetop.
Since coming into this world, Jiang Xile's facial features have noticeably improved, and her eyesight is now more than twice as good as before.
Although it cannot achieve complete night vision, the moonlight still allows us to clearly see movements in the distance.
Only after seeing Zhong Chongshan did Jiang Xile climb down from the tree and walk out.
"Second Master Zhong, it's been a long time!"
Jiang Xile emerged from the shadows, startling Zhong Chongshan. There were still more than ten minutes until the transaction was scheduled to take place, and Zhong Chongshan hadn't expected her to arrive so early.
"Brother Deng, it's been a long time! You've become even more elusive than before!"
"Haha, I'm sorry, I startled you, Master Zhong. But I was only thinking of my own safety. Please forgive me, Master Zhong!"
Zhong Chongshan waved his hand and looked around.
"Just you? Then what about today's deal?"
"Don't worry, Master Zhong, the brothers have already delivered everything. It's just that we'll have to trouble your men to do a little extra work!"
"Of course. Since there's no problem with the transaction, let's not waste any more time!"
"Second Master Zhong is very generous. You can inspect the goods first. I guarantee that they will be exactly the same as the sample I gave you before!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong Chongshan's eyes lit up.
"Then thank you very much, Brother Deng, for supporting my business!"
Zhong Chongshan waved, and two of his underlings carried two boxes off the handcart.
"Brother Deng is a straightforward person, and I'm not stingy either. Didn't you say before that you like jade and things like that?"
My men happened to bring some back; consider these a small gift for Brother Deng!
As Zhong Chongshan finished speaking, his two underlings opened the two boxes, which contained some jade ornaments and some jade jewelry.
The quality of the items is excellent, and some of them are even of the quality that could be auctioned in future generations.
Jiang Xile's lips curled up slightly. This Zhong Chongshan is quite generous!
Of course, Zhong Chongshan had his own reasons for sending these things to Jiang Xile.
Anyway, the underlings didn't spend much money to collect these things, and since Jiang Xile liked them, using them to do favors was a win-win situation.
Jiang Xile naturally understood Zhong Chongshan's meaning, and based on the principle of not refusing something that's free, she naturally wouldn't refuse.
But to save face, she had to produce something. Otherwise, wouldn't she be looked down upon?
"Since Second Master Zhong said it was a gift to mark our meeting, then I won't stand on ceremony. These things are just to my liking. However, I have also prepared a return gift for you."
Jiang Xile pulled out a dagger from behind her back. It was a military knife, a trophy she had seized during the apocalypse, and it was incredibly sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud.
At least in this era, such a fine item could not be found on the market. The scabbard was also inlaid with nine gemstones, making it look exceptionally luxurious.
"This dagger is also a rare item; I'll give it to Second Master Zhong for his enjoyment!"
Zhong Chongshan took the dagger and immediately sensed something different. With a gentle push, the blade was drawn.
"Great stuff! Brother Deng, you've really gone to a lot of trouble!"
For those who love weapons, this dagger was truly a perfect match for Zhong Chongshan.
Compared to this dagger, all those jewelry, ornaments, and jade ornaments are simply insignificant.
"Second Master, you're too kind. It's just a matter of reciprocity. I'm glad you like it. It's getting late, let the brothers inspect the goods!"
"Okay, let's inspect the goods!"
Guided by Jiang Xile, Zhong Chongshan's men found the radios hidden among the bushes in the woods. After counting them, they began to check them one by one.
"Second Master, no problem, all fifty volumes are here!"
"good!"
Master Zhong nodded, and then a henchman behind him handed over a small box. Jiang Xile naturally knew that the small box contained the gold bars she wanted, commonly known as "little yellow croakers".
"Brother Deng, here are the gold bars you requested. Please count them!"
Taking the box, Jiang Xile felt its weight, opened it, glanced inside, and then said:
"I trust Second Master's character. There's definitely no problem with the gold bars. I'm waiting for a few friends to arrive. Second Master, you can go now!"
Zhong Chongshan gave Jiang Xile an approving look and then said:
"Since Brother Deng has other matters to attend to, we'll take our leave now. You're welcome to visit anytime; the Zhong family's doors are always open to you!"
"Thank you for your kind words, Second Master. I hope we will meet again someday!"
After Zhong Chongshan and his men left, Jiang Xile carefully checked the surroundings again.
After confirming that no one was watching, he put everything into his spatial storage and then left through another path.
Upon returning to the guesthouse, the first thing Jiang Xile did was take the two boxes of jade jewelry out of her spatial storage.
In this day and age, jade items are the least practical things; they're very cheap.
Unless it's truly a desperate situation, no one would put these things up for sale, not only because they wouldn't fetch much money, but also because they would bear a great risk.
These two large boxes contained quite a few good things. Jiang Xile took out a bundle of old newspapers and sorted and stored all the ornaments and jewelry.
Inside the two large mahogany boxes were six small ornaments, four large ornaments, seven hairpins, ten necklaces, eight pairs of bracelets, twelve pendants, twenty rings, and six pairs of earrings.
She wrapped the jade ornaments in newspaper and stored them in a wooden box, while the jewelry was placed in her own jewelry box.
