Deputy Mayor Chang Xiaobao fully affirmed the role of the yam sales station, which was definitely a great joy for Ma Yunfei.
His words implied that he would support his yam sales outlet.
This is exactly the effect Ma Yunfei wanted.
He had already noticed that Mayor Gu Le's attitude towards him had not only changed, but he had even sent Gu Tian to teach him a lesson.
Deputy Mayor Chang Xiaobao is the second-in-command of Qinglong Town, and he still wields considerable power.
Chang Xiaobao is only in his thirties, a promising young cadre, and also a graduate of a regular university.
As far as Ma Yunfei knew, the town mayor, Gu Le, was only a vocational school graduate. Chang Xiaobao had an advantage in terms of both education and age.
If things go wrong, Qinglong Town could very well become Chang Xiaobao's domain in the future.
Ma Yunfei respectfully said to Chang Xiaobao, "Thank you, Deputy Mayor, for recognizing my work."
"Xiao Ma, have you run into your cousin Gu Tian these past few days?"
“Deputy Mayor, I went to the town government compound early this morning and even went to Gu Tian’s dormitory. There was a note on his door that said: Mother has suddenly fallen ill and I am asking for leave to go home.”
Chang Xiaobao asked in surprise, "Gu Tian went back to his hometown?"
"Yes, he must have been worried that the fact that he hit you with a stick would be found out, so he fled back to his hometown in a sorry state."
Chang Xiaobao sighed and said, "Yesterday, three police officers from the county came and talked to Gu Tian. He was guilty and ran away as soon as possible. It seems that your information was very accurate."
"Deputy Mayor, will you bring Gu Tian back?"
Chang Xiaobao shook his head and said, "We don't have any evidence yet, so how can we arrest him? Besides, according to the officers from the county public security bureau, this Gu Tian is very cunning and won't talk easily. We don't have any evidence either. Since he's run away, let him run."
Ma Yunfei said ingratiatingly, "Deputy Mayor, you should be more careful in the future. It's best to go out less at night."
"Yes, you're right to remind me. This is a lesson learned."
At that moment, a passerby greeted the deputy mayor.
Ma Yunfei quickly bent down to pick up the drink and returned to the yam sales station.
He didn't want anyone to see him being close to the deputy mayor; if that got back to Mayor Gu Le, it would be disastrous.
Ma Yunfei is currently playing both sides.
Based on Ma Yunfei's experience in his previous life, having two boats on one foot is the most dangerous thing, but he has no choice but to have two boats on one foot.
Gu Le's boat seems a bit unreliable; he needs to be ready at any time to jump onto Chang Xiaobao's boat.
To do business in Qinglong Town, you need a powerful backer.
Since Gu Le is no longer reliable, Ma Yunfei has no choice but to find another backer.
Deputy Mayor Chang Xiaobao is his new backer.
Li Sha arrived just as Ma Yunfei returned to the sales station.
Li Sha looked sullen, pouting as if someone owed her money.
Chen Yuyan greeted, "Hello, Sasha."
"What a load of crap! Today was the worst day ever."
Chen Yuyan was busy weighing and keeping accounts, and didn't have time to chat with Li Sha.
Ma Yunfei chimed in, "Sasha, are you on drugs? Why are you talking so rudely?"
"I'm in a terrible mood."
"Li Sha, are you taking your bad mood out on my wife? Let me tell you: get lost, or I'll have the abbot beat you up!"
The abbot was outside the sales station, busy maintaining order.
Recently, the business of purchasing yams has been booming.
Li Sha's eyes reddened, and she said sadly, "Brother Ma, you're so heartless. You even want someone to beat me up. Go ahead and have the abbot beat me up, or better yet, beat me to death."
Seeing Li Sha's heartbroken appearance, Ma Yunfei asked curiously, "Did Erlv break up with you? It can't be that bad."
"Erlu chased me like a slug, impossible to shake off. And he dares to brag to me? Brother Ma, you underestimate me too much."
"Sasa, is business at the hair salon not good?"
“My dad’s barbering skills are famous far and wide, and his business is booming.”
"Sasha, stop beating around the bush and tell me: what happened that made you sad?"
"I've been scammed."
Ma Yunfei shrugged and asked with some skepticism, "Sasha, I might believe you if you told me you were lying to someone else."
"Brother Ma, it's true, I've been scammed out of two thousand yuan."
Upon hearing the figure of two thousand yuan, Ma Yunfei understood and asked, "Was the two thousand yuan you gave Erlv to buy a diploma scammed?"
Li Sha nodded.
“I have a cousin who said she had a way to get into a university as an auditor for just 2,000 yuan, and she could get a college diploma in three years. I wired her 2,000 yuan. Last night, I received a letter from my cousin saying that she had been scammed and that the person who took her money had run away.”
Ma Yunfei curled his lip and lectured, "Sasha, you're too shrewd. As the saying goes, 'Cleverness can backfire.' Do you think a diploma is so easy to buy? Look, two thousand yuan has gone down the drain. I wonder how you're going to explain this to Erlv."
Li Sha said dejectedly, "Brother Ma, I couldn't sleep a wink last night. After thinking it over and over, I realized that only you can save me."
Ma Yunfei was startled and quickly declined, saying, "Sasha, you need to tell Erlv about this right away and let him think of a way to get the money back. What's the use of you coming to me?"
Li Sha frowned and said unhappily, "Brother Ma, are you so forgetful that you've forgotten who saved your life? If I hadn't given you 400cc of Rh-negative blood, you would have turned into a pile of ashes long ago. Now, I've been tricked. If Er Lv finds out, he'll definitely think I'm too stupid, and it will affect my image."
Ma Yunfei looked Li Sha up and down, and said half-jokingly, "Shasha, what kind of image do you have? Do you really think you have a very impressive image?"
“Brother Ma, I’m not in the mood for jokes. Let me be frank with you. Give me two thousand yuan to buy the 400cc of blood I transfused to you.”
Ma Yunfei originally wanted to give Sasha two thousand yuan, but for him, two thousand yuan was nothing.
Last night, Chen Yuyan told him that there was already three million in the savings account.
It is safe to say that Ma Yunfei is now the richest man in Qinglong Town.
However, Ma Yunfei could not rashly take out two thousand yuan, as this would expose his ability to make a lot of money in the yam business and arouse suspicion from Erlv, Liu Fei, and others.
If Erlv gets involved in the yam business again, it will only create more trouble.
Thinking of this, Ma Yunfei said, "Sasha, you want me to give you two thousand yuan all at once? Do you expect me to rob a bank? Here's what we'll do: you saved me, so I should give you two thousand yuan, but I can't come up with it right away. I promise I'll give you two thousand yuan in two months."
Li Sha frowned and said, "Brother Ma, you're making me wait two months? The opportunity will be long gone by then."
