Chapter 604: Chapter 604

Yang Fan shook his head, "I don’t think so, it feels more like a scam to me."

"Maybe it’s some kind of secret charitable organization, who knows for sure. I watched it for a few days, and they invited me to join their group, but I ignored them. Seems like there’s also a fee involved," Ye Tong said.

Yang Fan instantly became alert, "Sister-in-law, it’s best to avoid this kind of thing; it’s definitely not any charitable organization. I feel 99 percent certain they’re scammers."

Ye Tong nodded, "Since you think it’s not right, I won’t look into it anymore."

In many things, he always took Yang Fan’s advice to heart.

Little Mother’s voice came from outside, and Ye Tong immediately stood up, "I’ll go check."

Yang Fan followed her out as well.

It turned out that a few more customers had arrived, bringing so much mountain produce that there was hardly any space left on the ground.

Little Mother was weighing goods at the front, while Yang Fan and his sister-in-law sorted the priced mountain produce into categories in the backyard storage, some of which needed to be processed first, like sorting by size.

Once they got the hang of it, it became simple, and they were done in almost no time.

After that group of customers left, the store became quiet again.

A few people sat in the yard drinking tea and chatting; whenever customers came, Little Mother and the sister-in-law would go out to greet them.

Now Yang Fan was truly free with nothing to do.

So it went, Yang Fan stayed at home for two days, spending his days in the store as an "acting manager" doing odd jobs, and when he was unoccupied, he studied the book Mr. Fan had given him, mastering another magic technique in two days.

Although this technique was still named as such, Yang Fan felt it couldn’t really be called magic.

It was more like a method of Qi Cultivation.

Based on Inner Qi as the foundation, it involved harnessing the energy of the surrounding world and forming a layer of protective Qi on the surface of the body.

The only benefit of this was to prevent the invasion of negative energies.

The stronger the Inner Qi, the more sensitive the perception of the surrounding worldly energy, and the larger the area of the protective Qi.

One day, Wang Daqiang called to inform Yang Fan that the car was ready.

Actually, Yang Fan had been waiting for this news these past two days.

However, he hadn’t urged Wang Daqiang.

After confirming the car was fixed and all the paperwork was in order, Yang Fan informed Little Mother, his sister-in-law, and Wei Juan, then headed to the county city with Wang Daqiang who had come all the way from the village.

The car dealership where Yang Fan bought his car seemed to have very little business.

The last time Yang Fan was there to buy a car, the spacious hall was empty without a soul in sight, save for a woman who seemed to be prematurely in menopause, snoring away in her chair. This time was no different, the place was spotlessly empty.

But this time, the woman wasn’t asleep. Instead, she held something in her hand and was sitting at the entrance with her legs crossed, basking in the sun, munching on snacks.

"I was wondering why there were crows flitting about over my head all day, turns out some gloomy guy has come," Huo Xiaorou said, not caring whether Yang Fan was her customer or not, immediately making a sarcastic remark as she saw him.

Yang Fan wasn’t annoyed, "You can say that about me if you like, but I think those crows hovering over your head might not be because of me, the gloomy guy, but because your bad luck is so strong that the crows just love hanging around you!"

"Look at this place of yours; plenty of cars, but not a soul in sight. It was the same last time I came. You can’t possibly be like this every day, can you? I see other dealerships have several salespeople working away, but you don’t have anyone, not even once in half a month. Surely you haven’t dragged in just this one deal from me in several months?"

Huo Xiaorou rolled her eyes, "Go to hell. You just haven’t seen my business at its best. When I’m doing well, if a piece of trash like you showed up, I wouldn’t even acknowledge you. Dream on about haggling and nitpicking with me; you wouldn’t even get the chance."

Yang Fan glanced at the palm of her left hand and noticed she was eating raisins.

"So how come you have the time to bargain with me now? Has your colossal business empire encountered a Waterloo?" Yang Fan sarcastically said without the slightest bit of politeness. Even though the deal was made, the relationship between him and the lady boss was far from good.

It was practically a state of mutual disgust.

He couldn’t stand the sight of this boss lady, and she was seriously annoyed whenever she saw him.

"Yeah, encountered a Waterloo. When you’re down on your luck, even drinking water can cause toothache. Business is bad, not a single decent person comes by, and all I get are monsters like you!" Huo Xiaorou huffed, cursing under her breath.

"The car’s ready for you, go check it yourself. This time, look carefully. Once you leave this door, I’m not responsible for any problems that arise with the car. If you bother me again, I’ll kill you both."

Yang Fan nodded at Wang Daqiang.

Wang Daqiang took the car keys from Huo Xiaorou’s hand and started a very thorough inspection inside and out.

"Share some of your raisins with me." Yang Fan sat down right at the doorway, extending his hand towards Huo Xiaorou.

Huo Xiaorou’s eyes instantly widened, "Yang, how can you have such a thick face!"

"And now you want to eat my grapes after cursing and swearing at me!"

"They’re raisins, please be clear and avoid misunderstandings," Yang Fan said.

Huo Xiaorou was so exasperated she laughed, "You son of a bitch, I’ve realized you really are shameless talent!"

She grabbed a handful of raisins roughly and smashed them into Yang Fan’s palm, then said fiercely, "Dream on about eating my grapes, you won’t have a chance in your next life!"

"No worries, I only want your raisins, not interested in ’that’. I already know without eating, it’s probably even more shriveled than these raisins and darker in color. What’s there to enjoy? I’m afraid of it being too rough!" Yang Fan shook his head as he spoke.

Huo Xiaorou’s face reddened, and through gritted teeth, she looked at Yang Fan, "Yang, you’re getting more and more outrageous. You think I won’t kill you right now?"

"Of course, I believe you; how could I not?" Yang Fan replied with a smile, "How about this, let’s talk another deal? I can solve your current problem."

"I don’t need it. I don’t need any men right now, so get the hell out of my sight!" Huo Xiaorou snarled angrily.

She was a bit ashamed after being teased by Yang Fan.

"Who’s talking about men? I’m referring to this streak of bad luck you have. Maybe I can fix it," said Yang Fan. "I’m not as unscrupulous in business as you. If I can’t solve it, I won’t take your money."

"But if I do solve it, my fee is very high."

Huo Xiaorou stared at Yang Fan for a couple of seconds before scoffing, "You have that kind of ability?"

"It’s a side job; I occasionally make some money for cigarettes and alcohol. Want to take a chance?" Yang Fan asked. "Pay me if I get it done, no money upfront, and I’ll leave if I can’t. Simple as that."

"First tell me what you can do," Huo Xiaorou asked.

She seemed a bit intrigued, her tone noticeably softer.
