Shen Hongmei originally wanted to get closer to Chen Shuning so she could take advantage of him, but she didn't expect that Chen Shuning, who had been in the countryside for almost two years, was still so naive.
She doesn't know what she should or shouldn't say. I really don't know how she's managed these past two years. No wonder she came to the market all by herself, without a single friend by her side.
Chen Shuning didn't care what Shen Hongmei thought. Hearing the chatter of the female educated youths who came with Shen Hongmei, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
Of course, she wouldn't actually go to eat with Shen Hongmei, so she quickly slapped her forehead and pretended to have just remembered, saying, "Oh Hongmei, I'm so sorry, I can't eat with you today. I just remembered that my friend asked me to buy some meat for her, so I have to go now."
After saying that, Chen Shuning didn't wait for Shen Hongmei's reaction and turned to run away. He never mentioned which brigade he was sent to in the countryside.
Of course, this is not a secret. It wouldn't be difficult for Shen Hongmei to find out if she wanted to. Among those who have been sent to the countryside in Hongqi Brigade is Zhou Guoqing, who was once Yang Wanqiu's sycophant.
Speaking of which, I don't know what's wrong with Guoqing this week. She clearly came for Yang Wanqiu, but she hasn't come to see Yang Wanqiu since she went to the countryside.
However, these things had nothing to do with Chen Shuning. After she ran out of the street where the market was located, she found a deserted place and entered the space.
When she reappeared, Chen Shuning had transformed into Aunt Ning.
With a small, exquisite bamboo basket slung over her arm, Chen Shuning, in a cheerful mood, walked briskly straight toward the small courtyard she had rented in town.
Upon arriving at the destination, as usual, I first carefully inspected the inside and outside to make sure no one was around before locking the door and neatly placing the items that I had prepared yesterday and were going to sell today on the wooden shelves inside the house.
As the number of items that needed to be shipped increased, Chen Shuning also tidied up the small courtyard.
Many wooden shelves were placed inside the house for convenient storage of various goods.
After everything was arranged, Chen Shuning stepped out of the courtyard, carefully locked the door, and then went to find Hei Zi to inspect the goods and collect payment, carrying the goods list with her in her arms.
The guards at the entrance of the black market saw her approaching from afar and immediately put on a fawning smile. They hurried forward and greeted her warmly, saying, "Auntie, you've finally arrived! Brother Hei has been talking about you these past few days, guessing you'd be here soon. He didn't even dare to go to the wedding at his relatives' house in the countryside, just waiting for you with bated breath!"
As he spoke, he led Chen Shuning toward the small courtyard where Hei Zi had his office.
Hearing the voices, Hei Zi from inside the house hurriedly came out to greet them, personally lifting the curtain and saying with a smile, "I was just thinking that Auntie should be coming these days. A few days ago, someone from Harbin brought me two boxes of things, and I think the quality is quite good. I think Auntie will like them."
Then he turned to the person who had led Chen Shuning and instructed him, "Go find Monkey and have him bring over the things we prepared for your aunt."
Although Hei Zi's business has grown bigger and bigger in the past two years, and he has also made use of the original grove, the people here are still the same old faces. No outsiders have entered in the past two years, for fear that Chen Shuning's supply channel will be poached by someone else.
Furthermore, in the later stages, Chen Shuning no longer used the normal black entrance for buying and selling goods, but instead used a small side door known only to the staff. This door, which was originally locked, would only be guarded when Chen Shuning was about to ship the goods.
The people guarding the gate are all people that Heizi trusts, so Chen Shuning has been quite satisfied over the past two years, at least his supply channel has been well protected by Heizi.
Chen Shuning is someone who hates trouble, so he was quite satisfied with how the critics handled this.
The office where Hei Zi worked was warm with a charcoal brazier burning. Chen Shuning was wearing a thick hat and gloves, which were inconvenient to take off. Washing her hair in the dead of winter would be quite a hardship, so she didn't spray any hair dye to cover her black hair.
Her full head of black hair didn't fit Aunt Ning's persona, so Chen Shuning didn't linger after entering the door. She immediately took out the goods list and handed it to Hei Zi, asking him to find someone to inspect the goods.
Hei Zi's men were quite efficient at their work. Chen Shuning had only just sat down when Monkey and his men brought in two large boxes.
Inside were all the jewelry that Chen Shuning liked. To her surprise, she even found a phoenix crown that she didn't know which dynasty it came from.
The golden phoenix crown was inlaid with various gemstones, making it look extremely exquisite and gorgeous. In Chen Shuning's eyes, this phoenix crown alone was priceless.
Even if you filled her small courtyard to the brim, it wouldn't be worth as much as this phoenix crown.
However, in this special era, these things are worthless, and sometimes they are even the source of trouble. Many people would rather hide their own possessions tightly than buy them or exchange them for other things, for fear that they will be discovered and bring disaster to their family.
Chen Shuning also had the advantage of having a spatial cheat device, which meant that the things he put inside wouldn't be discovered, which is why he dared to buy these things in large quantities.
These two large boxes of goods only cost 3,800 yuan today. Hei Zi's men inspected the goods very quickly and returned in no time.
After calculating the amount, Chen Shuning was in an exceptionally good mood as she left with 13,000 yuan in her pocket. If things continued at this pace, she could buy quite a few more houses.
After leaving the black market, Chen Shuning found a secluded spot and dismissed the two henchmen who had helped her carry the suitcase, saying that someone would come to pick her up later.
