Zhu Fanfan was reluctant to part with these things: "I won't mince words with you. I'll take all of these things. At the price you asked for, I'll give you twice the amount of stuff on your order. I'm afraid your warehouse isn't big enough, so my people will put some outside."
Bai Wenya was naturally overjoyed. He thought the jade was more valuable, but in times of chaos, gold is valued and in times of prosperity, jade is valued very little. Jade is only pretty to look at. As for the calligraphy and paintings, they are just pretty to look at, but he couldn't see their value. Since Boss Mo likes them, he would collect more in the future.
As soon as he stepped out the door, Zhu Fanfan extinguished the light orb, since the light was too bright and all his methods would be exposed. He immediately put away the contents inside, added some more things, and when he came out with Bai Wenya, he took advantage of the darkness to pile some more things outside. These things were roughly equivalent to the current value of this batch of calligraphy, paintings, and jade.
Once outside the gate, Zhu Fanfan said, "Go check the goods yourself, I'm going to the next location."
Next up is Hangfei's territory. It'll take five minutes to get there, two minutes to get sick, then we'll go into the basement, get an estimate, put the goods in, and leave Hangfei behind. The process is becoming more and more familiar.
Once this is resolved, she'll rush back to pick up Fang Aiguo, and repeat the process: find a place, vomit, use the basement, estimate the value, and store the goods. That will conclude tonight's itinerary. The rest will depend on which of them is more capable. She'll choose one to cooperate with long-term and have their people take care of Grandpa Lu. As long as the benefits are deep enough, they'll treat him like their own elder.
Back at the guesthouse, Zhu Fanfan had a wonderful sleep. Tonight's haul was enormous. None of the paintings and calligraphy by famous artists were forgeries; they were almost all genuine works. They were dirt cheap now, but they would be incredibly valuable in thirty years. She could practically win without lifting a finger.
She woke up just as dawn broke the next day. A waiter knocked on the door, mysteriously saying that someone was looking for her. After Zhu Fanfan went out, she saw Dai Quanxin lurking around the corner, watching her suspiciously. She thought it was lucky that it was so early and there weren't many people around. If he looked like that, he would have been reported to the police and arrested.
Dai Quanxin said happily, "Big brother, I brought you breakfast. My mom steamed meat buns and cooked millet porridge. It smells so good."
Zhu Fanfan took it: "How was the deal last night?"
Dai Quanxin couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, unable to suppress the smile on his face: "The quality is amazing. My brothers have already gone out to sell it, and the black market has opened. I even sent Little Duck to the county town. He has relatives in the black market there, and they have a good relationship with us. They even helped us out when we were out of stock."
The black market can operate mainly because of its goods. As long as there are goods, it can continue to operate. Even if it is shut down, people will try every means to come to it, so their business will never stop. When they have no other way, they will seek outside help. To be honest, people buy things for the goods, not for the people. Especially during this political movement, rich peasants, landlords, capitalists, and petty-bourgeois families were all criticized and struggled against. They had no jobs and no food rations. In order not to starve to death, where else could they go but risk coming to the black market?
Zhu Fanfan said directly, "Don't tell me these things. You guys are busy these days. The person I'm waiting for is arriving soon. It's not appropriate for you to have any contact with them."
Xi Yan will be here soon. Although he is not a public official, he still belongs to the state. He is an upright person who is a bit unreasonable, so it's better to avoid him.
Dai Quanxin knew his identity was shady: "I'll contact you after I've sold everything. This time I'll definitely buy more gold, jade, calligraphy, and antiques. We'll use these for our next transaction."
Without waiting for a reply, he ran off. He was now full of hope for life, and he knew he would live a life of luxury with his boss.
After returning, Zhu Fanfan trained in the spatial dimension for a while, fed the wolf king and the little white dog, and brought the wolf king out to continue studying medical techniques. She refused to believe that she wouldn't remember the theories after seeing so much.
Around noon, she sensed a strong surge of supernatural energy. She went downstairs and saw a group of people walking towards her. The leader was Xi Yan. Zhu Fanfan waved happily and said, "Brother Xi Yan."
Xi Yan spotted Zhu Fanfan from afar, and his pace quickened involuntarily, with the people behind him jogging a few steps behind.
Xi Yan smiled gently: "It's so sunny, why did you come out to greet me? You've been pampered since you were little, don't get sunburned, come inside quickly."
After saying that, he pulled her inside. The group of people behind them looked at each other, making sure they weren't seeing things. How could someone who was usually so cold and ruthless be so gentle? Wasn't he supposed to be indiscriminate in his eyes when it came to men and women? He was just as cold and indifferent to girls. The girl's fragile heart shattered into a million pieces. Had the sun risen in the west?
Xi Yan took out his identification and handed it to the waiter: "Seven rooms, please."
The waiter said with difficulty, "We only have three single rooms left, and the only other rooms are dormitory-style rooms."
Xi Yan said, "Wait a moment."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, he asked, "There are only three single rooms left. You can discuss who will stay in the remaining two single rooms, and the rest of you can stay in the shared dormitory."
One of the women asked gently, "Little sister, are you alone or in a shared room? If you are alone, I can make the sacrifice and squeeze in with you."
Xi Yan can only be hers, no one can take her away. She raised her head and straightened her chest. Men all like women with a curvy figure, who would like a washboard?
Before Zhu Fanfan could refuse, Xi Yan interrupted her directly: "Fanfan is not a public official, just an ordinary citizen. She pays for her own room and her unit will not reimburse her. Shaoxian, don't think about taking advantage of the people. Correct your attitude. If you don't want to stay in a single room, then stay in a dormitory."
After saying that, he said to the waiter somewhat angrily, "We need three single rooms, one female dormitory room, and three male dormitory rooms."
No one has ever spoken harshly to Fanfan since she was a child. Shaoxian's voice is alright, but her eyes are full of contempt. Fanfan is also naive. Who knows how she might bully Fanfan in the same room! She is only arrogant because her sister is the group leader's right-hand woman. In the group, the people he despises the most are those who don't have the ability to get in through connections.
Shao Xian's face flushed red and then turned pale as she glared angrily at Zhu Fanfan. Zhu Fanfan merely glanced at her disdainfully and ignored her completely. The others in their group, led by Xi Yan, also remained silent. Suddenly, she felt extremely wronged.
After confirming the rooms and paying for three days, Xi Yan addressed the group, saying, "Have you all remembered the room numbers? Assign yourselves to your rooms, and we'll have a meeting in my room in fifteen minutes."
When he was away from home, he would never compromise himself. Zhu Fanfan was stunned: "Brother Xi Yan, Grandpa Dan said that in the past, when you went on missions, you always accommodated others and made arrangements for others before making arrangements for yourself."
