Ma Yunfei declared confidently, "Godfather, if I ever have even the slightest thought of having designs on Xia Tian, may I be run over by a car the moment I step outside; may I choke to death while eating; may I choke to death while drinking water; may I fall to my death the moment I go upstairs..."
"Alright, stop with the nonsense. Little Ma, just remember one thing: if you really want to harm my daughter, you'll die a horrible death. Let me tell you the going rate: these days, hiring someone to kill someone only costs 100,000 yuan. I can afford that."
Xia Jiufa issued a death threat to Ma Yunfei.
Ma Yunfei said dismissively, "Godfather, I think it's not worth it for you to spend this 100,000 yuan. If you want me to die, just give me a reason and I will die on my own. That way, you can not only save this money, but also avoid legal punishment."
"Little Ma, don't think I'm joking with you. I'm an old man, and I only have this one daughter. Think about it, if you ruin my daughter, do you think I'd let you off the hook? No way."
“Godfather, no matter how much I say, you won’t believe me. I can only say: let time prove my integrity.”
"Alright, I've already laid it all out in advance. Whether you live or die is in your own hands."
"Godfather, I will keep your words in mind and always remind myself that if I want to save my life, I must not lay a finger on Tianmei."
The abbot arranged for all five truckloads of yams to be unloaded, and Ma Yunfei went to Xia Tian's office.
Xia Tian told Ma Yunfei, "The location and time of my blind date with Xiao Jingjing haven't changed. Just go with the flow. In short, we need to make Xiao Jingjing give up completely and stop him from bothering me."
"Okay, but I have to remind you: I'm a little worried that your father might send someone to secretly monitor your blind date with the little glasses."
No, it won't.
“Tianmei, based on my understanding of your father, he is very likely to do this. Because you have always refused to go on blind dates, your father will suspect that you are not going on blind dates, and he will send someone to follow you.”
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "That is indeed possible. So what should I do?"
"It's very simple. The person your dad sent to follow you is definitely a rookie. You can shake him off without lifting a finger."
How do you shake it?
"When you met with the guy with glasses, you said the atmosphere at that teahouse wasn't good and you didn't like it, so you suggested changing the meeting place. As soon as you left, you took a taxi. I thought: you'll definitely shake off that person who was tailing you."
Xia Tian thought for a moment and said, "Two streets away from Youyuan Teahouse, there's a Baixing Teahouse. It's quite quiet and has a nice atmosphere. Sometimes I meet up with friends there to drink tea and chat. I think we should go to Baixing Teahouse. Brother Ma, why don't you just go to Baixing Teahouse?"
"Okay, then it's agreed."
After settling the bill with Ma Yunfei in the summer, Ma Yunfei left Jiufa Company.
As he was leaving, Ma Yunfei saw Xia Jiufa standing at the second-floor window, staring at him intently. Although he couldn't see Xia Jiufa's eyes, he could imagine that they were filled with resentment and suspicion.
After leaving Jiufa Company, Ma Yunfei said to the abbot, "I need to conduct market research in City A. You can take the car and go back first."
The abbot asked in surprise, "Boss, what kind of market research are you doing?"
"Abbot, we've almost finished buying the yams. What's next? We can't just sit around and do nothing. I need to do some market research and think about what business to do next."
"Boss, that's true. We can't just do business for a few months each year."
The abbot returned to Qinglong Town with five trucks.
Xia Yunfei found a hotel to stay in.
The next morning, Ma Yunfei went to the farmers' market and looked up some information at the library. At 2 p.m. sharp, he went to the Baixing Teahouse.
This is a two-story teahouse. The second floor is open-plan and there are no private rooms.
The teahouse has been partitioned to create individual private seating areas.
Ma Yunfei ordered a pot of tea and two plates of melon seeds, and sat there slowly drinking his tea.
In the summer, I took a taxi to the Youyuanfen Teahouse.
On the way, he glanced in his rearview mirror and noticed that there was indeed a taxi following behind him.
Summer arrived at the Youyuan Teahouse. After getting off the car, she could clearly see through the teahouse's window that a taxi had also stopped behind her, and a short man got out of the car.
This man is a stranger; it seems he must have been sent by my father to keep watch.
Xia Tian smiled calmly, thinking: Ma Yunfei is indeed very perceptive; he guessed that her father would send someone to follow her.
If Ma Yunfei hadn't come up with this idea, her and Ma Yunfei's scheme would have been exposed by their father today.
As agreed, the boy with glasses will sit in booth number 8.
As soon as Xia Tian entered the teahouse, she saw a bespectacled man sitting in booth number 8, engrossed in reading a book.
Summer glanced outside the teahouse again. The short man was loitering outside. It was easy to imagine that as soon as Summer entered the teahouse, he would follow her in.
Summer walked towards booth number 8 and stood in front of the boy with glasses.
The boy with glasses was still engrossed in his book, seemingly oblivious to the fact that summer had arrived.
Summer coughed once.
The boy with glasses was still engrossed in his book and seemed not to hear the cough.
Summer slammed her hand on the table.
The boy with glasses was startled and dropped the book he was holding onto the table.
He looked up in surprise at Xia Tian and stammered, "Why...why did you slam your hand on the table so hard?!"
Clearly, the boy with glasses was frightened and somewhat dissatisfied.
In the summer, following Ma Yunfei's plan, he had to pretend to be ill-mannered and ignorant in every way so that Xiao Yanjing would dislike him.
Summer plopped down opposite the boy with glasses and said with dissatisfaction, "I already warned you that I'm here, but you were engrossed in your book. I had no choice but to make a bigger commotion."
The man with glasses glanced at his watch and said, "Miss Xia, you are one minute and thirty-five seconds late."
"No, we agreed to meet at this teahouse. When I stepped into the teahouse, I specifically checked my watch. It was one minute to two. Therefore, not only was I not late, but I actually arrived at the teahouse one minute early."
The boy with glasses grinned, but the smile was uglier than a grimace.
“That makes sense. The issue is whether to use the time of entering the teahouse or the time of arriving at this booth as the standard. We didn’t clarify this beforehand, so you can say you weren’t late, or you can say you were late.”
