Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Harmony Brings Wealth 2.0

Wang Shumei saw every move of Lin Nianhe, but her face showed no additional expression as she lightly laughed, took the towel, and instructed, "Hurry up, if you’re late, the team leader will definitely come to fetch you."

"Okay, I got it."

Lin Nianhe smiled and turned the corner with the woman, hands clasped behind his back.

Wen Lan grabbed Wang Shumei and whispered, "What was Hezi’s hand-waving about just now? Was he suggesting I should follow and slap that woman on the back of her head with a brick?"

Wang Shumei’s lips trembled slightly as she grabbed the impulsive Wen Lan and turned to the others, "It’s nothing. That person is a friend of Shanshan’s mother, probably here to ask about Shanshan and Xiao Jun. You guys head to work; Xiao Lan and I will follow them and have a look."

Hearing this, the others didn’t think too much about it and trudged off to work with steps heavy from the pain, despite the rain.

Once they were far enough, Wang Shumei immediately dragged Wen Lan into the Educated Youth Corps, grabbed a shovel by the door, and circled around the other side of the wall.

Lin Nianhe walked a few steps with that woman and then stopped.

She chuckled and asked, "Who really sent you? It’s just us now, tell me the truth."

The woman paused, turned her head back, and forced a smile, "Sister Lirong, she wanted me to bring something to you."

Lin Nianhe laughed mockingly, tilted her head while looking into the woman’s eyes full of ridicule, "If Zheng Lirong wanted to meet, she would definitely call me in advance. If she couldn’t make it and sent someone else, she would still call. No need to tell if you don’t want to, but let me guess... I heard there’s a fatty in the provincial city who wanted to swallow Bai Bo’s black market after Bai Bo’s death. Does he need something from me?"

The woman’s expression turned rigid, she frowned and sized Lin Nianhe up again.

Lin Nianhe let her look, her lips still slightly raised.

The woman examined Lin Nianhe from head to toe, then turned her head towards the nearby wall, "Everybody has guessed it now, you might as well come out."

A soft laugh came from behind the wall, and a fatty with a square step swaggered out.

His chubby face trembled as he smiled, showing a missing front tooth.

"Ah, it wasn’t easy finding you." The fatty sauntered up to Lin Nianhe, extending his greasy paw, "My name is Zhang Changjiang."

Lin Nianhe ignored his hand and asked, "You wanted to see me?"

"Yes, big things!" Zhang Changjiang’s eyes twitched due to Lin Nianhe’s dismissive behavior, his expression turning fierce, "I had heard before that Bai Bo had procured some good goods, but now his wife is even more incredible, holding a black market full of great stuff. I just had to see what this master looks like."

Lin Nianhe’s expression remained neutral as she idly fiddled with her nails, staying silent.

Zhang Changjiang continued, "Never expected it to be a young girl, and an Educated Youth at that. Really surprising!"

Lin Nianhe blew on her nails, speaking impatiently, "Are you done looking? If so, I’m leaving."

I still have to catch the continuation of Uncle Guan’s story from yesterday.

"Don’t be in such a rush, girl," Zhang Changjiang sneered as he moved forward two steps, and the woman also moved behind Lin Nianhe, blocking her way.

Lin Nianhe lazily lifted her eyelids, appearing utterly indifferent to the threat in front of her, and asked coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it. No need to dawdle like you’re mincing words."

Zhang Changjiang was startled.

Mincing words?

Was she implying he’s like a woman?

His eyes turned red and his short, stout hands clenched into fists.

He breathed heavily a few times, then suddenly smiled again, "Okay, I’ll speak plainly!"

He was here on serious business and couldn’t afford to strangle this young girl in the heat of the moment.

She was much more useful alive than dead.

Zhang Changjiang calmed himself and said, "Girl, let’s be straightforward — how much is Zheng Lirong paying you? I’ll add ten percent more, and from now on, you only supply to me. How about that?"

Finally, Lin Nianhe looked squarely at him.

She glanced at Zhang Changjiang’s clenched fist and retorted, "You came here to talk business, but you’re thinking of putting me in danger over just a couple of words, isn’t that inappropriate?"

Zhang Changjiang immediately loosened his fists, laughing out loud twice: "Inappropriate, indeed inappropriate!"

Lin Nianhe leisurely asked again: "If I were to kick you out just because I pity Bai Bo’s family situation, that would be inappropriate too, right?"

Zhang Changjiang’s face brightened, his voice louder: "That would be extremely inappropriate!"

Lin Nianhe nodded slightly, the corners of her mouth turned up: "So for you to come here empty-handed, with just a smack of your lips expecting me to supply you only, isn’t that particularly inappropriate?"

Zhang Changjiang blurted out: "Inappropriate, definitely inappropriate!"

Lin Nianhe raised an eyebrow.

Alright, she had made up her mind about this man’s intelligence.

Zhang Changjiang opened his mouth, and gestured with his mouth towards the woman behind Lin Nianhe, "What are you staring at? Show some response!"

The woman, upon hearing this, immediately stepped forward and took out two stacks of banknotes from her bag and handed them to Lin Nianhe.

Lin Nianhe scoffed, lightly flicking the stack of money with her fingers: "Do you think I need your measly few thousands?"

A gentleman loves money, obtained in a rightful manner.

She’s a merchant, not a robber.

Zhang Changjiang, sensing a softening in Lin Nianhe’s expression, hurriedly spoke: "Then tell me, sister, what do you want as a gesture?"

Lin Nianhe began to fiddle with her nails again, slowly speaking: "I lack nothing, don’t want anything."

Zhang Changjiang’s face burst into smiles: "I understand, I understand, sister, don’t worry, I won’t let you down, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied!"

Lin Nianhe: "Oh."

Zhang Changjiang rubbed his hands, asking her, "That merchandise..."

"Just wait, it’s not cabbage after all, It’s not like you can get it whenever you say, right?" Lin Nianhe replied impatiently.

Zhang Changjiang nodded vigorously, "I understand, I understand! What about with Zheng Lirong..."

Lin Nianhe chuckled lightly, glanced at him ambiguously and said: "We’ll see how you perform."

"Understood! Got it!"

Zhang Changiang was extremely excited, he was almost ready to bow to Lin Nianhe.

If Lin Nianhe had agreed immediately, he would definitely think she was stalling him, trying to get him caught up with Zheng Lirong and plan his downfall.

But she’s delaying, saying it depends on his performance, isn’t it just to see who will win or lose between him and Zheng Lirong in the end?

That’s the normal reaction of a normal person!

Zhang Changjiang, grinning from ear to ear, took the stack of money from the woman’s hand and forcefully stuffed it into Lin Nianhe’s hand, saying, "Sister, hold onto this, this is an advance payment, I definitely can’t let you cover for me, right?"

Lin Nianhe holding the money, asked back: "Advance payment?"

"Exactly, exactly!"

"Oh, alright then."

She’s a merchant, cannot rob, but can take an advance payment.

Zhang Changjiang, seeing Lin Nianhe holding onto the money, his grin widened.

He could already see the glorious vision of ruling the provincial city’s black market!

Zhang Changjiang rubbed his hands again and reached out to Lin Nianhe, "Harmony brings wealth!"

This phrase, he learned it on the train here, from a night school teacher, supposedly it’s a phrase to express friendliness.

Lin Nianhe: "...?"
