After Yiqiangzhun married his sister-in-law, Yeya was relieved and could work at the sales station with peace of mind.
Tuqiu is very strong and hardworking. Moreover, Tuqiu is also very clever. More importantly, Tuqiu is a loyal person who will not play tricks or betray his principles for money.
Ma Yunfei now has three good helpers: Fangzhang, Yeya, and Tuqiu.
The yam purchasing season has reached its final stage, with 20,000 jin of yams being collected daily.
The abbot took Tuqiu to City A twice, and Tuqiu quickly got the hang of it. In less than half a month, he was able to escort the cart to City A on his own.
A month later, Chen Yuyan happily told Ma Yunfei, "We already have five million in our savings account."
Ma Yunfei smiled calmly and said, "It's nothing, this is just the first pot of gold."
"Honey, how much money would satisfy you? I think you're being a bit insatiable."
"Honey, I've said it countless times: my ambition is to become the world's richest person. Right now, we're just the richest person in Qinglong Town, a long way from my goal."
That day, Chang Xiaobao, the acting mayor of Qinglong Town, held a meeting at the yam sales station. All the bigwigs in the town, including the village chiefs from various villages, came. More than two hundred people crowded the area in front of the warehouse.
Chang Xiaobao had Ma Yunfei give a keynote speech at the meeting, introducing how he worked tirelessly and without fear of loss to benefit yam growers, increasing their income by 30%.
At the meeting, Chang Xiaobao announced: "Ma Yunfei is a pioneer of reform and opening up in our Qinglong Town and a good role model for all the people in the town. From today onwards, the sales station will be officially incorporated into the town government's establishment."
In other words, the sales outlets are no longer temporary entities.
Ma Yunfei's status in Qinglong Town was soaring, making him a hero known to everyone.
Ma Yunfei found it much easier to get things done. The director of the grain depot and the captain of the transportation team became even more respectful to Ma Yunfei, treating him as if he were a leader.
Ma Yunfei can still use the grain depot's warehouse and personnel free of charge, as well as the transport team's vehicles free of charge.
That day, Ma Yunfei received a phone call from Xia Tian.
"Brother Ma, you broke your promise."
Ma Yunfei asked in surprise, "How could I go back on my word?"
“Last time, you told Xiaojie that you wanted to teach her ex-husband a lesson, but now more than half a month has passed and you haven’t done anything about it. Yesterday, Xiaojie’s ex-husband went to harass her again.”
Ma Yunfei slapped his forehead and said regretfully, "Tianmei, it's not that I broke my promise, it's just that I've been too busy lately. As you know, I have to send yams to City A every two days. You can imagine how heavy my acquisition task is."
“Brother Ma, no matter how busy you are, you can’t forget your promise. A man’s word is his bond. If you don’t keep your promise, you’ll have no face to face Xiao Jie.”
Ma Yunfei patted his chest and promised, "Tomorrow, I will come with the abbot to deliver the yams. However, I will get off the bus early and check into the hotel so that your father won't be unhappy if he sees them."
"Okay, call me when you get to City A."
The next day, Ma Yunfei and the abbot went to City A to deliver yams.
The abbot asked, puzzled, "Boss, are you going to City A to conduct market research again?"
Ma Yunfei lied and said, "Abbot, I came to City A this time to get revenge. Once, when I was delivering yams by myself, I ran into a thug who tried to extort money from me. He asked me for a thousand yuan. When I refused, he punched me. If the driver hadn't gotten out and stopped him, I would have been badly beaten."
The abbot said angrily, "Boss, why didn't you tell me about this? If I had known, I wouldn't have let that guy off the hook."
"Third brother, we've been extremely busy lately, and I haven't had time to take revenge. Now that we've increased our manpower and have some free time, we can finally settle this old score."
"Boss, who is that guy? Can you still find him?"
"I had someone inquire about his home address. When we arrive in City A, unload the yams at Jiufa Company and then come to the Happiness Hotel to find me."
The abbot agreed, "I'll come to the inn to find you after I've finished unloading the goods."
Ma Yunfei got out of the car not far from Jiufa Company, pointed to a storefront and said, "Abbot, do you see this? This is the hotel. The name is easy to remember, it's called Happiness Hotel."
The abbot curled his lip and said, "Does staying at this inn guarantee happiness?"
"Hehe... They just chose an auspicious name to attract you to live there. Whether you're happy or not depends on whether you have money in your pocket. If you don't have money, you won't be happy anywhere."
"Back then, I was farming at home, working myself to the bone every day, and I could only earn two or three thousand yuan a year. I didn't feel happy at all at that time."
Ma Yunfei got out of the car, asked for a standard room, and made a phone call to Xia Tian from the hotel.
Xia Tian said happily, "Brother Ma, wait for me. I'll come to the inn with the abbot to find you later."
"Tianmei, be careful, don't let your father follow you. Your father is very petty now, he's wary of me, as if I'm a thief in his own house."
After unloading the goods and checking the numbers, the abbot said to the driver, "You can go back on your own. Be careful on the road. I have some things to take care of, so I won't be going back tonight."
Summer excitedly went downstairs, ready to walk with the abbot.
Xia Jiufa stood by the second-floor window and asked loudly, "Daughter, it's already dark, where are you going?"
"Dad, the abbot needs to buy some things. He's not familiar with City A, so I'll go with him. I'll be back in a bit."
Xia Jiufa found it a bit strange. The abbot was a grown man, not a three-year-old child. Did he not know how to buy things?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. So, he hurriedly went downstairs, called someone, and the two of them quietly followed Xia Tian.
Xia Tian is a smart man, and besides, Ma Yunfei had already warned him to be careful of being followed.
She led the abbot into a shop, and as soon as they entered, she hid behind a row of clothes racks, peering outside.
A short while later, Xia Jiufa was seen sneaking over.
Xia Tian was secretly amazed: she never expected that her father would actually be spying on her.
Xia Jiufa lingered outside the store for a while before entering. He looked around and then walked inside.
Summer and the abbot secretly slipped out of the store and ran to the Happiness Inn.
When Ma Yunfei saw them arrive, he asked, "Is there anyone following behind?"
Summer chuckled and said, "It used to have a tail, but we shook it off."
Ma Yunfei sighed and said, "Wow! Your dad's really keeping an eye on things. I'm impressed."
"Hehe... It's a pity my dad only has two eyes, not enough."
