Most people turned a blind eye to his dealings.
But later, due to a conflict with the heroine, he was eventually defeated by the heroine's halo and fell into a series of designed traps, with a tragic ending.
At this moment, the heroine has not appeared yet, and Mr. Chen Sanye has not stepped into those traps. What he did was just some business profit-making activities, and he did not usually oppress the kind people. Strictly speaking, he is a person who can be considered for cooperation.
After his thoughts became clear, Xu Qinghe's uneasiness was relieved a lot, and he nodded and agreed to go with them.
This group of people acted extremely cautiously and naturally would not take her directly to Mr. Chen Sanye's mansion. Instead, they took a tortuous route and arrived at a small, inconspicuous house.
The space inside the room is small, with a large table in the middle, which is obviously a place for daily discussions.
Mr. Chen San was already waiting there.
After Xu Qinghe greeted politely, he stood aside with his hands folded, quietly waiting for Mr. Chen San to speak.
"What's your name? What's your business?"
Xu Qinghe deliberately pretended to be simple and unpretentious. "My name is Li Xiaosi. I don't have a regular job. I just have a relative who works in the provincial capital. His company often gives out some benefits. He can't use it all, so he sends it to me and asks me to help sell it for some money. At first, it was just his stuff, but later his colleagues at the factory found out and asked me to help sell it for them."
"I pass all the money I earn on to them, and I only earn a small amount of tips for running errands."
Having said that, she scratched her head shyly and smiled innocently.
Mr. Chen Sanye felt a sense of novelty in his heart. It was rare to find such a frank person. As soon as he finished speaking, he told everything without reservation.
This straightforwardness made Mr. Chen Sanye have a better impression of him. He said bluntly: "I came to you today to discuss cooperation with you."
Mr. Chen San, in a good mood, didn't want to beat around the bush and continued, "I think the prices you sell are really too low. How about this? If you have any good goods in the future, sell them all to me at the price I say. You don't have to worry about how much I sell them for. What do you think?"
He originally wanted to lower the price, but seeing Xu Qinghe being so straightforward, and considering that this was a long-term deal, Mr. Chen San decided not to be too particular. After all, in the business world, harmony brings wealth.
Xu Qinghe's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this, and he quickly replied, "Of course that would be great! It would save me from having to worry so much every time. Third Master, you're such a good person!"
For her, it doesn't matter who she sells it to. There's less anxiety and no need to pay protection fees. This deal is a good deal no matter how you look at it.
Seeing that she agreed so readily and didn't take the opportunity to raise the price, Mr. Chen San was even more satisfied. He said bluntly, "Okay, it's settled. When you need goods in the future, just contact the gatekeeper directly. Also, since we're working together, you don't have to pay protection fees when you go to the black market. I'll take care of everything."
Xu Qinghe was delighted. This was probably what they meant by "It's nice to take shelter under a big tree."
Although she knew that Mr. Chen San would suffer misfortune in the future because of the heroine, the heroine had not appeared yet, so it would not hurt for her to get some benefits first.
After agreeing, she asked curiously, "Third Master, will you accept any goods? My relative's factory produces a wide variety of goods..."
"As long as you send it, I can handle it here."
Mr. Chen Sanye's answer was concise and powerful, and it seemed that there was nothing he could not digest.
Mr. Chen Sanye's heroic smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in winter. Xu Qinghe nodded slightly, thinking secretly in his heart that those long-covered debris in the space could finally see the light of day again and play their due value.
Of course, this gift-giving must be done strategically and bit by bit to avoid unnecessary suspicion and disputes.
However, how could such a thoughtful and deliberate character like Chen Sanye end up playing the villain in the heroine's storyline? This is truly puzzling, as if the author has casually thrown a chess piece, violating the natural trajectory of the character's personality development.
At the moment of parting, Mr. Chen San's men respectfully escorted her to the door, keeping a proper distance from her. This not only showed courtesy but also avoided gossip. This action once again demonstrated Mr. Chen San's meticulous and thoughtful side.
Xu Qinghe secretly thought that if he could establish a good cooperative relationship with Mr. Chen Sanye, he might be able to become a strong force behind him in the future.
After all, with her intervention, the original plot has been completely rewritten, and helping Mr. Chen San out of his predicament seems to be a natural thing to do.
On the way home, the smoke from the cooking stove rises and the smell of home hits me.
Zhu Yunxiu was busy at the stove. When she saw her granddaughter coming back, she immediately called out loudly at the kitchen door. Her voice was deep and powerful, revealing a spirit of defiance of old age.
Xu Qinghe was secretly grateful for the magical spring water, which not only nourished the crops, but also made her elderly grandmother much healthier.
"Okay, grandma, I'll go change my clothes and come back to help you later!"
Xu Qinghe answered, his tone full of attachment to home.
After changing into a light home dress, Xu Qinghe walked into the kitchen. Her grandmother was preparing to cook, so she naturally took the spatula and asked Zhu Yunxiu to add firewood to the fire, enjoying the tacit understanding and warmth between the grandmother and grandson.
The dishes on the table became increasingly abundant. Fresh meat was a must-have for every meal and was something Xu Qinghe had to buy whenever he went to the city. The excess was carefully pickled so that he could still enjoy the delicious food when food was scarce.
The highlight of the dinner was a plate of specially made cured meats. After being baptized by time, the cured meats had reached a perfect semi-dried state with an attractive color. The meat retained its rich aroma while remaining tender and smooth. It complemented the potato slices as thin as cicada wings, creating a perfect match.
When cooking, lard and peppercorns meet, instantly stimulating a mouth-watering aroma. Then add the pickled meat and potatoes and stir-fry quickly. Finally, sprinkle with a handful of pepper powder. No excessive seasoning is needed, the taste is enough to make people linger.
Another dish is tofu wrapped in tomato and egg, which looks simple but is full of creativity: the bright red tomatoes and golden eggs complement each other, and the diced tofu is cleverly integrated into it. It is first fried until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and then perfectly blended with the slow-cooked thick tomato sauce. Finally, it is topped with a secret sauce. It is colorful, fragrant, and mouth-watering.
The boiled green leafy vegetables lay quietly next to the rice, as if waiting to be tasted.
The grandmother and grandson sat around the table, eating and chatting. Grandma's words were like opening a floodgate. From the daily trivialities of the tofu workshop to the interesting talks between neighbors, Xu Qinghe listened with great interest. Before he knew it, two bowls of rice had been quietly eaten.
