◎Two faces?◎
"Xiao Che?"
Jiang Che came back to his senses: "Oh, Brother Wu, I was with my wife yesterday, so I was not here. But when I came back, I heard my sister said you came to the store to see me. I said I would go to your place to ask later, but who would have thought that you would come first. What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
This statement explained why he was not in the store, but did not mention what he was doing outside.
Wu Yun had no choice. Seeing that he was slippery, he was not going to continue to beat around the bush with him. He looked around and knew that this was not a good place to talk. He pointed to the secluded alley opposite and led the way out.
"Let's go over there and talk."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che followed him obediently.
On a winter afternoon, the streets were crowded at three or four o'clock, and the alleyway that Wu Yun pointed out was so narrow that not two people could squeeze in at the same time.
Fortunately, this alley is long enough, about ten meters in length, with high walls on both sides. It is indeed a good place to have private conversations.
...
...
Wu Yun first walked quickly to the innermost part, making sure that there was no one inside, before returning again.
The two met at the corner in the middle of the alley. Wu Yun tiptoed past Jiang Che and looked behind him. He was relieved when he was sure that this position was just right for him to see the alley entrance, but at the same time could ensure that their conversation would not be heard by people outside.
Seeing how cautious Jiang Che was, even though he knew what he was going to say, he couldn't help but laugh. However, he could only pretend to know nothing and asked in confusion, "Brother Wu, what are you doing? You're like a thief?"
Even though he was sure that the surroundings were safe enough, Wu Yun subconsciously lowered his voice when he spoke: "Xiao Che, do you still have the watches you gave me last time?"
"Yes, I have."
"Really? How many are there?" Wu Yun asked in surprise.
Jiang Che answered the question irrelevantly: "Brother Wu, I gave you so many goods last time, but you bought them all so quickly?"
"Who said it wasn't? You don't know. These watches are so popular. I distributed them to my subordinates to sell. Some of them were sold out on the same day, and the latest ones were sold out in less than two days. I wanted to come to you a few days ago, but something happened at my mother-in-law's house, so your sister-in-law and I went back. It took so long to go back and forth. Xiao Che, do you really have any more goods? Can you give me some more?"
Jiang Che said with embarrassment: "Brother Wu, this may be a bit difficult."
"Why is it so difficult?" Thinking that Jiang Che was unwilling to give him the goods, Wu Yun added, "If you think the price is too low, I can add another five dollars, how about that?"
Seeing that Jiang Che still didn't give in, he gritted his teeth and asked again: "Ten dollars?"
Jiang Che was helpless: "Brother Wu, it's not that bad between us. It's not that I don't want to give it to you. I do have some goods, but I left them last time to give to my nephews and nieces. Now there are only a dozen or so left. What do you think you can do with them?"
Wu Yun was stunned. After a moment, he asked without giving up: "Where did you get the goods last time? Can't you get them now?"
"I got the goods from the south last time. Several joint ventures have opened in Yangcheng this year. The overproduction of goods has impacted the existing market. Some time ago, the electronic watches and radios there couldn't be sold. I thought these things should be popular in Beijing, so I brought some goods back to try. But I haven't contacted them for a long time, and I don't know what the market is like there."
Jiang Che said so much because he was afraid that Wu Yun would run to the south again because of the money he made this time. The market in this industry is changing too fast, and Jiang Che is not optimistic about it.
Who would have thought that Wu Yun didn't listen to what he said at all, but instead grasped a key point: "You mean that as long as you have money, you can buy the goods from the joint venture factory over there?"
Alas, Jiang Che sighed in his heart. Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, he had to tell the truth. After all, if someone wanted to know, it was impossible to hide it. It would be better for him to tell the truth: "It's like this, do you want to go and take a look? Brother Wu, I still think it's more stable to open a shop and make money. Although the profit is high, it's not a long-term thing. You have to think it through."
Wu Yun looked into Jiang Che's eyes and looked away for a moment: "I plan to go and take a look. I know that you said those things for my own good, Xiao Che, but I still want to go and take a look."
Okay, Jiang Che didn't plan to persuade him anymore, just like when he first heard about the south from Hong Zhen, wasn't he also yearning and longing for it? Besides, Wu Yun had been in the ** for so many years, he knew what he was doing, and didn't need him to interfere too much.
All he could do was to remind him, “Be careful. Remember that only money you earn is money. Don’t take big steps.” Then he went back to the store and gave him Cai Jiahuai’s contact information: “This is my friend. If you encounter any difficulties in Yangcheng or are unsure about something, you can call him.”
Wu Yun didn't say anything polite. He took the note, thanked him and left.
After Wei Xuan finished her work, she walked to the next room and saw Jiang Che sitting in a chair in a daze. She walked up to him and asked, "Brother Wu is gone?"
"Yeah." Jiang Che nodded with lifeless eyes.
"What's wrong?" How come you're so confused after not seeing each other for a while?
"Wife, do you think I shouldn't sell the watch to Angkor?" If I didn't give it to him, he wouldn't think of going to the south.
He couldn't even think about the possibility that something might happen to Wu Ge in the south. Wu Ge was much braver and more daring than Cheng Shao, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to expand his business so much in the past ten years. As the saying goes, those who drown are those who know how to swim. When he thought of Wu Ge heading south, his heart started pounding, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
Wei Xuan understood what he meant and couldn't help but pat his head: "What are you thinking about? What does it have to do with you? Besides, maybe he will get rich on this trip. Don't worry about it. You might as well think about the decoration of the store."
Wei Xuan couldn't say anything profound, but she knew that as an adult, the first thing to do was to learn to be responsible for one's own behavior. Jiang Che's sale of the watch to Wu Yun was essentially just a transaction. Both of them made money in this transaction, which was a win-win result.
As for any thoughts Wu Yun had about this transaction, what did it have to do with Jiang Che?
Can he control what other people think when he controls everything in the world?
Wei Xuan scolded Jiang Che for worrying too much, but the amazing thing was that after being lectured by her, Jiang Che actually felt much better.
I began to feel like talking to her about going to the transport team in the afternoon: "I have chosen the car. I will go through the formalities to drive the car back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will then park the car at the courtyard."
"Okay, there's a place for you to park there." The courtyard house that Wei Xuan bought later was big, but the alleys were winding and there was really no room for a truck to park.
Jiang Che held her hand and looked at her and said, "After the car comes back, I will really be busy. Leave the decoration to me, don't worry about it, I will take care of it, but these stores will be handed over to you for the time being. If you can't handle it, let Third Sister do it. Don't tire yourself out."
"Yeah, I know." In fact, Wei Xuan was not tired at all. There were more and more employees in the store, and she didn't need to be busy at all. She just counted the accounts and checked the inventory every day. She didn't want to be too idle. But in order to avoid Jiang Che worrying, she still nodded obediently: "Just do your thing, I won't show off."
From that day on, Jiang Che really started to get busy and had no time to think about Wu Yun for the time being.
The first thing he did every morning was to send his daughter to school, and then come back to pick up his wife to go to work. After they were settled, he would go about his own business. Before the car came back, he mainly focused on the decoration of the three stores. After the car came back, he would occasionally go to the train station to take a look.
Fortunately, hard work always pays off. The day after he was squatting at the train station with a small sign, he got his first business, which was to deliver feed to a pig farm.
The factory's original car broke down on the road, and they couldn't find a suitable car for the time being. The person in charge was sweating profusely at the train station, and he just happened to meet Jiang Che. Isn't this just perfect!
They hit it off and agreed on the price, and Jiang Che drove the person in charge to the freight department.
Originally, this job didn't include moving things. But Jiang Che was hoping to have further cooperation with them in the future, so he got out of the car enthusiastically and helped them move things onto the car.
The person in charge really liked Jiang Che's service attitude. Before leaving, he asked for his phone number. Jiang Che gave him the Jiang family's phone number, and in his mind he was thinking about how to get a phone number in his own store.
As the business grows in the future, not only he but also the clothing store will need a phone number.
But this is not a trivial matter, and we can't rush it. We have to think of a solution slowly.
Jiang Che made his first fortune, and it showed on his face when he picked up his wife and daughter at night. Wei Xuan noticed it and asked him, "What are you so happy about?"
"Hey, I got some business today."
"Really?" The surprise in these two words was real, but it was also pretended. It had been a long time since she saw Jiang Che with this arrogant expression. Thinking of his hard work during this period, Wei Xuan wanted to make him happier.
Sure enough, seeing his wife's excitement, Jiang Che's tone became even more complacent: "Well, really, although I don't make much money, there will be a second time after the first time. Wife, wait for me to make money to buy you a car."
"Okay, I'll wait."
At this time, little Yuanyuan was unwilling to be ignored by her parents and interrupted, "Dad, I want to ride in the car too."
Jiang Che bent down and picked her up: "No matter who I forget, I can never forget you, my little darling."
Then he thought that tomorrow was the winter solstice, which was also Yuanyuan's birthday, so Jiang Che asked her, "What gift do you want tomorrow, little darling?"
"Hmm..." Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought for a long time, then said, "I want a sister."
After this was said, Jiang Che and Wei Xuan looked at each other, almost thinking that the child knew something, so Wei Xuan asked her: "Why do you want a sister?"
"Because my deskmate has a younger sister, she said she could braid her sister's hair every day, it was so much fun."
Well, children’s words are always innocent, it’s just that adults like to think too much.
Hearing this, Jiang Che chuckled and said, "This wish can be fulfilled for you."
"Really? Then when can I have a sister?"
Facing his daughter's innocent black eyes, Jiang Che coughed twice with a guilty conscience: "Don't worry, wait until next year. It's too late this year. But you have to promise dad that you won't tell anyone. If you tell anyone, not only will your sister be gone, but mom will also be in danger. You don't want mom to be captured by bad guys, right?"
Hearing this, Yuanyuan was so scared that she immediately covered her mouth and shook her head vigorously.
"I'll keep it a secret."
"Yes, we'll keep it a secret together."
Perhaps because she thought it was fun to keep a secret with her parents, Yuanyuan nodded like a little chick pecking at rice, but the look in her eyes changed from fear to excitement.
The family of three returned home and were about to enter the house when the door opposite opened and Fang Jing came out with a letter: "Here, your letter. The postman said he came several times but couldn't find you, so I took it for you."
Wei Xuan took the letter and took a look at it. It was from Wei Xiaolong. She thanked Fang Jing and went back to her room to open the letter.
Jiang Che came out of the bathroom with his daughter after washing her hands. Seeing her thoughtful look after reading the letter, he asked, "What's wrong? Whose letter is it?"
"Xiaolong wrote this. He asked me what I should do if I suddenly found out that someone I have known for a long time has another face."
Section 90
Jiang Che was slightly stunned: "Who is he talking about?"
Wei Xuan guessed that he was talking about Liu Qiao. Considering the time when he wrote the letter, something must have happened after he brought Liu Qiao back to the Wei family that made him have this question.
He didn't write what the specific matter was in the letter, and Wei Xuan didn't guess. She just wrote him a letter back according to her own thoughts.
Two faces? Who doesn't have several faces in this world? Sometimes we can't even recognize what kind of person we are, let alone others.
It doesn't matter how many faces she has. What matters is whether she has done anything to hurt you or whether you can't stand the other face of her that you haven't seen yet.
Did it break the legal or moral bottom line? If so, it is definitely unforgivable, but if it is not the case, then what is there to worry about?
After writing the reply, Wei Xuan put the matter behind her.
The next day, I followed Jiang Che and took my daughter back to Jiang's house.
This time, the two of them brought the remaining electronic watches at home and planned to give them to their sisters so that they could take them back and share them with their nephews.
Everyone was shocked when they saw Jiang Che take out so many electronic watches. How much would it cost? No matter how rich you are, you can't spend money like this! They quickly waved their hands and asked Jiang Che to take it back and return it!
Jiang Che was helpless. Who should he return it to?
In the end, it was only after Wei Xuan came forward to guarantee that it was really not expensive that the three sisters were willing to accept it.
Even though Wei Xuan said it was not expensive, they still carefully put it away in their bags before they felt at ease.
Because today is Yuanyuan's birthday, everyone prepared gifts for Yuanyuan, whether it was food, clothes, or a small hairpin that Jiang Yuanqing bought her with her pocket money. Yuanyuan happily thanked and accepted the gifts, then handed them to Wei Xuan, asking Wei Xuan to help her put them away and give them to her when she got home.
After the winter solstice, the renovation of several stores was almost completed, and Wei Xuan began to work on purchasing goods for the clothing store.
All the money Wei Xuan earned from selling electronic watches was spent on buying a house and a truck, so the money she has now is the sales of several stores during this period, including the half-month in the south and the ten days since returning, totaling less than 38,000 yuan.
This money was certainly more than enough to purchase goods for the two stores. Wei Xuan spent two days making a list of the styles to be purchased.
At the end of the month, when the house was finished, the goods arrived.
This time, Wei Xuan chose January 1st to open both stores at the same time, and both offered a 30% discount.
With the experience of the last opening, there was no rush this time. However, Jiang Che refused to allow Wei Xuan to go to the store on the opening day.
Wei Xuan had no choice but to stay in the store and transferred her third sister and Zhang Daya over to help.
Fortunately, after this period of time, the shop assistants have been trained and can handle the business on their own. Nothing went wrong until closing time at night, and Wei Xuan finally put her mind at ease.
“I just said they can do it.”
Wei Xuan closed the account book with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll continue to hold the rear for the next two days, okay?"
Seeing that his wife really gave up the idea of going to the new store, Jiang Che finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know that his wife didn't go today, but he watched the whole process. The crowds were no less than the initial opening. It was fine if he didn't know that his wife was pregnant during the first opening, but now that he knew, he let her go to squeeze in. If something happened, who would be responsible?
