Meng Tao came back after the call and asked Hu Laosi if he wanted to be a small wholesaler in the black market. A boss named He agreed to supply him with goods.
Hu Laosi was overjoyed when he heard this: Of course he wanted it, being his own boss, even if he was a small boss, would be great! He knew a little about those black market wholesalers, and their supply channels were inaccessible to ordinary people. The black market bosses who came from the mainland to purchase goods looked at these wholesalers, big or small, as if they were looking at the "God of Wealth". If they wanted goods, they had to beg them to come.
Hu Laosi has always been envious. It's not that he doesn't want to be in the black market, but he really has no way to get the goods. Now the heroine has helped him get in touch with the big boss. He is so lucky! Meng Tao asked Hu Laosi to go directly to a certain old teahouse at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning, Boss He will treat Meng Tao to morning tea, so he asked Hu Laosi to meet him.
After sending away Hu Laosi, who was so happy that he didn't know what to do, Meng Tao and Xiao Wangcai went upstairs to their room to rest for a while, and then started calling relatives and friends to say hello. At around five o'clock, Meng Zhehan called and said that there was some situation and he couldn't come back, so he let Meng Tao make her own arrangements.
The phone was hung up quickly. Meng Tao didn't know what was going on with him, but as he was with Sun Hong, he should be fine.
Seeing that it was time to get off work, Meng Tao called Shen Yu, but no one answered, which meant that he was still busy outside.
Meng Tao took Xiao Wangcai into the space to cook and eat. Although the restaurants, hotels and teahouses outside were good, the real delicious taste that you will never get tired of is the ingredients from your own space.
The man and the dog came out happily after eating and drinking their fill. They called Shen Yu again, but no one answered. So Meng Tao took Xiao Wangcai downstairs to go shopping and play.
Not long after I left, the phone in the room started ringing non-stop.
The night view of Guangzhou is beautiful, and it is more lively and prosperous than anywhere else. Meng Tao and Xiao Wangcai were fascinated by this beautiful and prosperous metropolis, and they didn't come back until after ten o'clock in the evening.
As soon as I entered the room, I received a call from Shen Yu.
"Taotao is disobedient again. Where did she go so late instead of staying in the house to rest?"
"Xiao Wangcai and I are just taking a walk nearby."
"Did you miss me?"
“…I thought about it.”
"Little liar, you were so happy shopping that you forgot everything, right?"
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
"I had dinner at my grandma's house and told her that we were having a baby and that the wedding would be brought forward. Grandma, grandpa, uncle and aunt were very happy and called you several times."
"I'm sorry, I was out at that time."
"Grandpa wanted to take you back to the capital tomorrow, but I stopped him."
"Why, you asked me to go directly to the capital yesterday."
"Well... let's talk about it when we meet. You and Meng Zhehan go back to your father's place in the provincial capital first. I'll go there next Wednesday to settle something, and then we'll go back to the capital together."
"Oh, okay. What is it that I can't do?"
"No, you have to be the boss."
"Okay, shopkeeper."
Shen Yu smiled, and said in a doting tone: "Wait for me to come back, baby."
"Are you calling me, or is it this thing in my tummy?"
"Of course it's you, my wife."
"This one in your belly is our baby."
"Come out first and see if he's cute."
"Wife, when you have children in the future, you must remember that I am your dearest and most important one! Well, it doesn't matter if you can't remember, I will remind you."
“…”
Meng Tao's forehead was black: I want to ask this guy how old are you? I really admire him.
Two days later, Meng Tao and Meng Zhehan took Xiao Wangcai back to the provincial capital of Province D by plane.
The matter in Guang City was temporarily settled, and the local departments were responsible for the finishing work. Meng Zhehan gave Meng Tao a general account of what happened later. After all, his work was confidential, so Meng Tao did not ask much.
Back at the steel factory, Director Shen had heard his son say on the phone that he was going to bring his daughter-in-law to Beijing. When he saw his daughter-in-law coming back, he was so happy that his teeth were grinning, as if he had seen his eldest grandson. He immediately arranged to find a nanny so that Taotao would not be able to do any work in the future and could just stay at home to take care of the pregnancy, and just have to stretch out his hand for clothes and open his mouth for food.
Meng Tao was speechless. Does she look so weak?
She hurriedly stopped Director Shen from finding a nanny: "I am still like a normal person now. I can do everything. The doctor also said that I need to exercise properly and it is no problem for me to do some housework."
"Your mother can..."
Director Shen paused, his eyes darkened, and his voice slowed down: "When your mother-in-law was pregnant with Shen Yu, she didn't want to eat, and she didn't have any strength at all..."
Meng Tao sighed secretly. This also involved her mother-in-law, which made her father-in-law uncomfortable. "Everyone has different physiques. I am really the same as usual. I don't need a nanny for the time being. Let's talk about it later."
"Well, kid, you can do whatever you want. If there is any situation, you must tell me in time, okay?"
"OK."
Director Shen went to work, leaving only Meng Tao and Xiao Wangcai at home. After playing with Xiao Wangcai for a while, Meng Tao started to make phone calls, first calling Zhang Fu to find out how the incoming batch of goods was doing.
Zhang Fu's voice was hoarse. Meng Tao asked what happened. It was the same when she talked to him in Guangzhou two days ago.
Zhang Fu said that he was busy and tired in the past two days. He was very excited and chattered non-stop: "The goods arrived the night before yesterday. My god, such a big truck, the warehouse was almost full after unloading, all of them were good stuff! My parents and I sorted in the warehouse for most of the night and were reluctant to leave...
Yesterday and today, I asked a few brothers to go out in pairs to sell. Some went to factories and mines, and some went to the alleys. Each of them carried a shoulder bag and half a torn snakeskin bag. They came back in the afternoon and sold everything! The money was collected neatly, not a penny less! Lin Sanmeng from your village, I asked him to set up a stall in the black market. His brother pulled a few idle guys from somewhere and occupied a long stall. It has been two days, and no one dared to mess with them. Business is booming... God, are there so many rich people now? They are willing to spend money to buy things."
Meng Tao was also very happy: "These are all things we need for daily life. Who doesn't need them? They are good quality and cheap, and they don't require tickets. Who wouldn't want to buy them? Look at those fashionable ready-made clothes, shoes and socks. Aren't most of them bought by young people?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Those who buy cloth are all middle-aged women and wives. Young men and women like ready-made clothes, especially those made in sets with some small patterns. They feel very fashionable and high-end, and are very popular... Men's shirts and belts sell especially fast.
Girls rushed to buy all kinds of fancy things for women, such as long and short skirts, silk stockings, glass hair ornaments, small mirrors and small handbags... This is just in Xingyang County. We haven't even visited neighboring counties and Mengzhou City yet."
"Take your time. There's no rush. Look after Lin Sanmeng and teach him not to act recklessly. Build good relationships with people around the black market and don't cause any trouble. Business is about harmony and mutual benefit. Only in this way can it last long. If you create hatred, you won't be able to continue."
"I know. My uncle also said this. I will take care of it. Don't worry."
"Well, your winery has a truck. You can get on good terms with the driver and learn how to drive from him. You can also ask someone you trust to learn with you and then get a driver's license."
"What's the point of taking that certificate?"
"We will have a truck soon. You can use your uncle's connections to register the license plate with the winery, but it will be yours to use. It will be much more convenient to do business in Mengzhou and neighboring counties."
"Really? Haha that's great, I want to learn it then!"
