Zhao Niangen asked the most direct question: "Do you have money?"
“Right now, I’m just making money from opening up the mountain, aren’t I?” Sheng Qian said. “We can’t achieve everything at once; things have to be done step by step. There’s been some trouble with the Long family, and I can’t leave here. From now on, I’ll have to rely on the two of you to run errands for me. This is also an opportunity for you to train.”
Zhang Shunlin frowned deeply. "What if we fail?"
"If we fail, we'll just part ways. What's there to agonize over? It's my money, so you haven't lost anything, have you? This is an opportunity; whether you seize it or not is up to you." Sheng Qian appeared relaxed, making it seem like what she was about to do was incredibly easy!
Only Sheng Qian herself knew that even with her intelligence, it wasn't easy to navigate in this era.
"Okay, we'll trust you this once. If we fail, we'll just walk away. Don't blame us for being heartless."

“Try running and see if I can catch you,” Sheng Qian stood up and stomped her numb feet. “We’re just getting started now, so don’t worry about saving this hundred yuan. Buy as much as you can. Once you’ve bought it, find an abandoned place to store it. I’ll go over there when I have time.”
“We are living in an abandoned house now,” Zhao Niangen said.
"That's perfect then," Sheng Qian waved her hand, and soon disappeared into the night.
Zhang Shunlin was still somewhat stunned as he held the hundred yuan that Sheng Qian had given him.
Zhang Shunlin and Zhao Niangen had no idea that this choice would make them highly sought-after figures in China ten years later!
But that's a story for another time.
