Chapter 115: 115 ability

"Village chief. Please have some, it’s just a small token from me." In the end, Jiang Xinyu wasn’t able to buy ten steamed buns; the meals were rationed. Selling her ten was already a generous act.

After eating, Jiang Xinyu took them back to her office and poured water for them both.

"Village chief, I’ll be leaving on Sunday, and I can’t be sure when I’ll return, but I think two months should be about right.

How many families in our village want to buy grain?"

"Xinyu, we brought over eight thousand yuan, it’s the village’s savings from all these years, and we’ve brought it all over. Once we buy the grain, we’ll distribute it to everyone."

"That’s great, village chief, but let me be frank, it’s not guaranteed that I can buy it back, and what I’ll bring back is also uncertain, but I promise if I can’t buy it back, I’ll return the eight thousand yuan to the village with not a penny less. If I can buy, I’ll get the cheapest grain to make sure everyone can last a bit longer."

"Great, we trust you."

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hello! Factory director’s office."

"It’s me."

"Director Wei? You..."

"Secretary Jiang, I heard you’re going to Russia too?"

"Yes, leaving on Sunday."

"I’ll have someone deliver five hundred thousand, all for buying wheat."

"In rubles?"

"In yuan."

"Okay!" Jiang Xinyu knew that Wei Kaiyun must be unable to speak freely now.

After hanging up, Jiang Xinyu saw that the two had already placed the money on the table.

"Xinyu, all the money is here, we withdrew it from the bank."

"Mm, I’ll definitely keep this money safe." Feeling the warmth of the eight bundles of money, Jiang Xinyu felt uncomfortable inside.

After sending the two elders off, Jiang Xinyu went directly to Qian Jun’s office.

"Mr. Qian, we are all bringing cash. Our village sent money today, but all in yuan."

"We are all bringing yuan; our friends there will handle this matter."

"Then I’m relieved." Jiang Xinyu looked at Qian Jun, but he had nothing more to say, perplexedly returned to the office.

Wei Kaiyun said that Qian Jun is with him, how come Qian Jun doesn’t know how to buy so much wheat?

In the afternoon, she kept an eye on the phone. She never got a call from Wei Kaiyun.

Tomorrow is Saturday, a chance to rest at home; tomorrow, I’ll find a builder to put the house in order.

On Saturday, two more craftsmen came, and the stove in the main room was changed. This way, the stove can also heat the bed, and windows and doors were installed in the bathroom. The iron stove from the main room was moved to the bathroom, completing all the work.

When Jiang Xinyu gave them money, they refused it, "That gentleman has already paid, young lady, come find us if you need anything."

"Alright. Thank you, master."

In the afternoon, Jiang Xinyu stayed home and planted beans and cucumbers. She planted a row of corn along the wall to boil and eat.

In the evening, there was a knock on the door, "I’m a friend of Wei Kaiyun."

Jiang Xinyu opened the door and saw two middle-aged men standing outside. "This is what Wei Kaiyun wanted me to give you." After saying that, they placed a large cloth bag and left.

For the first time, Jiang Xinyu didn’t pick it up; it was too heavy.

Back indoors, she opened the cloth bag, and inside were bundles of money. There was also a letter inside.

"Qian Jun knows, he will come to find you."

Jiang Xinyu felt so frustrated, why just those few words?

Gathering her wits, she put it away. Another knock on the door was heard.

"Secretary Jiang, I am Qian Jun."

"Mr. Qian, this is the money that was just delivered, how am I supposed to carry so much?"

"I’ll take care of it. It was really inconvenient to send it to the factory, so I had to bring it to you."

"Mm, okay, this big bag left outside, even if someone saw it at first glance, they wouldn’t think it’s money."

"Secretary Jiang, aren’t you curious?"

Jiang Xinyu quickly shook her head, "Mr. Qian, I’m not curious. I’m just following your orders."

Qian Jun chuckled, "The money will stay with you tonight, I’ll come over tomorrow noon. Someone will come to transport us."

"No more public buses?"

"No more, just wait for me."

"Alright." Really cautious, I wonder which sentence is true.

After sending off Qian Jun, Jiang Xinyu put the money into her space. Thought about how her space could fit around ten tons, but still didn’t dare to pack it, better to go openly.

She fell asleep in her quilt, but Wei Kaiyun was staring at the ceiling, after meeting with the leadership, hadn’t even got the chance to express his desire to enter politics, and was informed by the higher-ups to report to the provincial textile factory as the director.

After learning about Yuan Xinyun’s situation, Wei Kaiyun wasn’t sure whether to thank the girl who reported him.

If it hadn’t been reported, maybe Yuan Xinyun would still be the textile factory director, but with this incident, he couldn’t be director anymore; he’s been assigned there instead.

In others’ eyes, it’s a promotion, but it’s not something he really wanted.

Recalled his wife’s advice to leave the textile factory, not only he hasn’t left, he’s entrenched even deeper.

He’s to head to the province to report tomorrow, and won’t meet his wife. Truly a pity.

Still quite surprised, didn’t expect her to know Russian?

Unhappy about how Qian Jun used them both this afternoon, but had no choice, the higher-ups required it, compelled against his will.

This trip should pose no problems. Hopefully, this silly girl won’t get involved.

Sunday, Jiang Xinyu just rested at home, had lunch, then waited for Qian Jun.

They actually came in a large truck, Jiang Xinyu thought to herself about how much money was to be transported? So inconvenient, in future times, it would be done with just a few keystrokes.

Jiang Xinyu brought just one bag, "Secretary Jiang, please sit in the driver’s cabin."

Jiang Xinyu readily obeyed, climbed into the passenger seat, and sat firmly there. The other three went directly to the rear compartment.

At two in the afternoon, they arrived at the city train station. The railway bureau arranged a waiting room for them, with four beds inside. It wasn’t the time to mind the details, with so much money; avoiding trouble was the priority, so they had to do this.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t bother about modesty, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed, took a book from her bag, and began reading.

The other three seeing Jiang Xinyu like this, also relaxed, each lying on a bed.

The room was quiet, all three closed their eyes, Jiang Xinyu had to take charge and keep watch.

Supper was brought back by Lv Beiguang, cornbread, pickled vegetables, and mixed spinach.

"Secretary Jiang, you don’t seem nervous at all."

"Director Sun, why should I be nervous, with the three of you here? Haha, if there’s a robbery, I wouldn’t be noticed anyway, I’d have no loyalty and just run first."

"Hahaha, yes, you run first then." The three laughed at Jiang Xinyu’s response.

Indeed, what’s a young girl capable of? Her only advantage being her knowledge of Russian.
