Chapter 201 Scrap Steel and Iron Boomerang
Cheng Sangsang smiled as she looked at the girl in front of her, and suddenly felt as if she had been transported to another world.
Although she and Tu Xiaomao were only friends for a few months, she felt more satisfied and had a stronger sense of accomplishment than she had in the previous ten years.
"...Tu Xiaomao, I think I've started to learn how to handle things."
“This matter has now been characterized by the media as a business war. My uncle said before that I needed to give him a legitimate reason to settle accounts with the Bai family. Now that's enough, isn't it?”
Tu Yao: "Yes!"
"So your announcement is really well written!"
Cheng Sangsang suddenly felt a little excited and proud.
"Tu Xiaomao, I can understand Teacher Ma now. Writing is so much fun."
Now she can not only write scripts, but also announcements.
"Do you think I should learn from Teacher Ma and write some promotional articles, movie reviews, book reviews, and the like?"
"Don't learn from this."
Tu Yao quickly stopped her.
Of Teacher Ma's 20,000 words, 18,000 are just filler; Sangsang could figure it out herself.
Cheng Sangsang said "Oh".
"Then I'll go and report to my uncle in a bit."
"Tu Xiaomao, I will handle this matter thoroughly. I may be a little busy and won't have much time to spend with you these next few days."
Tu Yao rested her chin on her hand and shook her head: "I have things to do too."
There are more important things to do.
Before doing so, Tu Yao sighed inwardly, "I have to get scolded first."
After saying that, he consciously took out his phone.
It's been a while already, and if she doesn't take the initiative to get a scolding soon, her brother will probably explode with anger.
But as soon as the video call connected, the other end of the screen went black.
Cheng Sangsang asked in confusion, "What's going on? Is the signal bad at home?"
"I'll go take a look."
Tu Yao grabbed her arm. "No need, the signal is good."
Turning his head, he said helplessly, "Brother, if you don't say anything, I'm hanging up."
The screen immediately lit up, revealing a dark, shadowy face.
Tu Chaoxi said irritably, "So you still remember you have a brother!"
When do you plan to come back?
Tu Yao fell silent, her eyes darting around, and she gave an embarrassed smile.
Tu Chaoxi: ...
"Tu Xiaomao, did you post this video on purpose to provoke me?! It's been days and you still haven't come back! You said you went to handle your household registration, but as soon as you landed, you ran off to start a riot!"
"Think about it yourself, how much have you accomplished in such a short time!"
"Who gave you the nerve! You think you can beat me up right now?!"
...
Tu Yao silently turned down the volume, and Cheng Sangsang silently moved away from the screen.
A dozen minutes later, Tu Chaoxi finally finished cursing.
Tu Yao couldn't help but explain, "...But this time, the actual operation was done by Uncle Cheng from Sang Sang's family."
"And the announcement was written by Sangsang."
"Next, Sangsang and her uncle will clean up the mess."
Tu Chaoxi said expressionlessly, "Oh, it has nothing to do with you. I misspoke."
Tu Yao: ...
Tu Yao immediately lowered her head: "...No, no, you were right to scold me."
Tu Chaoxi calmed down a little.
"...So what else did you do these past two days? Have you finished telling me everything? Is there anything I forgot to mention?"
Tu Yao thought about it carefully and shook her head, "...There shouldn't be any more."
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
"What?"
Tu Yao scratched her head: "...Brother, Xiao Chi and I have made up."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
"when?"
"...that very night."
Tu Chaoxi hung up the phone immediately.
Tu Yao: ...
On the other end of the phone, as soon as she hung up, Tu Chaoxi closed her eyes.
...I'm going to die. What I feared most has come to pass. I'm destined to be a wingman for life.
Nan Ke, who was fortunate enough to hear the whole thing, said with a smile, "Brother, Xiao Chi is actually quite nice."
"I don't care if it's good or bad!"
Tu Chaoxi's complexion did not improve at all.
So annoying!
After a long silence, he suddenly said in a deep voice, "...Nan Ke."
"I don't know why, but I have a feeling that Tu Xiaomao is hiding something from us."
Nan Ke was taken aback, her smile instantly vanishing: "...What is it?"
Tu Chaoxi shook her head. "That brat is too good at hiding things. He knew who I was on the very first day of the variety show, and he managed to keep it from me for months."
The problem is, nobody can figure out what she's hiding!
"And her trip to Hong Kong was supposed to be to handle household registration and help Cheng Sangsang find out the truth, but I think it was more than that."
"I always felt that she was thinking about something big."
"...Then let's listen to her."
Tu Chaoxi looked up: "What?"
"Listen to her. Let her do whatever she wants." Nan Ke's expression returned to calm: "We'll do whatever she wants us to do."
"Go and keep up with her."
“Brother, a child like her will always go further than us.”
And as long as they stay close behind her, they can catch her in time if she is forced to retreat unexpectedly one day.
Tu Chaoxi fell silent again.
After a while, "...No."
"I'm worried now."
After saying that, he resignedly took out his phone again and skillfully dialed a number.
Nan Ke: ...
...
Once Tu Yao finished being scolded, she was relieved.
Cheng Sangsang was amazed; Teacher Tu was simply incredibly talented at scolding Tu Xiaomao.
For more than ten minutes, not a single sentence was repeated.
Tu Xiaomao is also incredibly talented at getting scolded.
He remained expressionless for more than ten minutes.
"Well, Tu Xiaomao, I'm going to call my uncle now!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
After watching Cheng Sangsang leave, Tu Yao sat in her seat and thought for a few minutes.
He turned and walked out of the hall.
In the courtyard, Old Cheng was practicing his boxing.
He turned his head and saw Tu Yao grinning at him innocently.
Old Cheng: ?
Tu Yao cut to the chase: "Uncle Cheng, you seem to know a lot about the structure of cargo ships."
Old Cheng: "...You know a little bit, don't you?"
He worked in the mines and on ships in his early years, and he hasn't forgotten the basics.
"Can you tell me about it? I don't understand."
Old Cheng was taken aback, and then briefly explained it to him.
Tu Yao then asked, "Are there any regulations regarding the conversion of cargo ships now?"
Old Cheng continued.
Tu Yao continued, "What is the daily cargo throughput of the largest port in Gangcheng?"
Old Cheng: ……
And so, one asked, and the other answered.
The round trip took a full half hour, and Lao Cheng was left with a dry mouth and a numb expression after being questioned so much.
"Could you show me the cargo ship?"
Finally, we got to Lao Cheng's blind spot.
He immediately said with a sigh of relief and relief, "Our Cheng family mines gemstones. We don't have a boat, so I can't take you to see it."
Tu Yao remained calm, took out her phone, and made a call.
"Koike, do you own a boat?"
Half a minute later, he hung up the phone.
She looked up with a smile, "Uncle Cheng, we have it now."
Old Cheng: ……
My intuition that night was right; the kid had his eye on him.
But why is she interested in cargo ships?
...
The next morning, Tu Yao arrived at the largest port in the port city.
Uncle Cheng will be free in the afternoon, but she can go with Xiao Chi to take a look first.
Looking out, one after another cargo ships are steadily anchored on the sea, which is quite a sight.
The port is bustling with people, and fishermen and porters can be seen everywhere unloading cargo.
Fishermen who had come ashore noticed her and shouted, "Little girl, be careful! Stand to the side, it's slippery here!"
The sound was particularly loud as it came against the wind.
Tu Yao grinned and said, "Got it! Thanks, Uncle!"
Fishing boats and cargo ships at sea are easy to distinguish. Tu Yao looked at them one by one, and then paused for a moment when she saw something.
He quickly pointed to the well-packaged boats across the way and asked loudly, "Uncle! Why isn't anyone moving those boats?"
Fishermen who were nearby all turned their heads away.
"You're from inland China, no wonder you didn't know."
"This is the cargo of the richest man in our port city, three thousand tons! It's been sitting idle for over a month!"
Tu Yao was momentarily stunned.
Koike's family?
Three thousand tons?
...A number that sounds somewhat familiar.
Tu Yao briefly recalled...
I remember now! When Xiaochi was fighting with her grandmother over her, she placed a shipping order for 3,000 tons!
Is this the three thousand tons of cargo that Koike had?
Tu Yao asked instinctively, "Uncle, do you know what's in there?"
The fishermen waved their hands, their expressions unreadable.
A supercar happened to stop on the driveway in the port.
Xu Chi had just stopped the car when he was met with four words shouted out by the group.
"Scrap iron and scrap steel!"
