Chapter 8: Sit back and enjoy the show

  As Jiang Cheng and his mother disappeared from view, having entered the kitchen, Fu Xin took a sip of water before speaking up: "Uncle Jiang, what do you think now?"

  The tone of this speech is just like a villain coming to collect protection fees.

  In fact, if it's really about saying that Fu Xin hasn't given up, it's absolutely impossible. Not to mention anything else, just now Jiang Cheng said the store has no goods to sell, and Fu Xin is already very anxious in his heart. He must quickly get the batch from Jiang Haiyang's hands.

  Jiang Haiyang didn't immediately respond to Fu Xin's words. Upon hearing Fu Xin's question, his heart which had just relaxed a bit became tense again. He shook his hands, picked up the quilt, took a sip of water from it, then closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, thinking quietly.

  After a while, the silent atmosphere was finally broken by Jiang Haiyang, who said in a low voice: "Okay, whatever you want."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Haiyang seemed to have aged ten years.

  "Hey, Director Jiang, can I have the approval now?" Fu Xin asked somewhat impatiently.

  This behavior incurred Jiang Haiyang's dissatisfaction. He had long guessed that Fu Xin had ulterior motives, and now it was immediately apparent. So he said in a bad temper: "Can't you let me rest for a while? Wait until I've eaten before giving it to you!"

  Fu Xin didn't mind waiting for a while, so he waited and it was just in time to have dinner at Jiang Haiyang's house. Fu Xin clearly remembered that Liu Siwater's cooking skills were exceptional, her dishes couldn't be described as simply delicious!

  In short, it's extremely delicious!

  "By the way, Fu Xin, this time the fertilizer is sold out, what are you going to do?" Jiang Haiyang suddenly asked.

  "What's the big deal? Isn't it just working in a factory?" Fen Xin was taken aback for a moment.

  "What I'm saying is the store, what's wrong with your brain, can't even think of this!" Jiang Haiyang patted Fu Xin's head and said reproachfully.

  "Oh, I'm planning to go to Dongguang Province to get some small commodities to sell." Fu Xin replied.

  He had actually thought of doing so all along, and initially wanted to sell fertilizer, but didn't think it through!

  What is chemical fertilizer? Agricultural materials! What are agricultural materials, means of production! In today's era where material machines are not well-developed, can chemical fertilizers, a very scarce means of production, be casually resold? Obviously not.

  This time, fortunately it's still early now, the household contract responsibility system has not been thoroughly promoted yet. If another year passes and this household contract responsibility system is thoroughly promoted, productivity will be greatly liberated. At that time, fertilizers will be in absolute short supply, triggering a scramble for production materials! If you come to speculate on fertilizers at that time, it's absolutely the rhythm of being shot! The crime is speculation!

  In addition, nowadays, Carrefour also has the participation of the municipal government of Yicheng, which invisibly adds a protective umbrella to Carrefour. This is what makes Fu Xin and his family safe and sound. Otherwise, even if the productive forces have not been greatly liberated yet, chemical fertilizers as a means of production cannot be bought and sold at will!

  In addition to Carrefour's legitimate sources of goods, this has avoided a lot of trouble.

  So, Fu Xin later thought of these things and was terrified for a long time. He secretly decided that after finishing this deal and earning back some capital, he absolutely couldn't do it again. It's better to go to Wuyang City to sell some small goods instead!

  ……

  Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Fu Xin also hastened his pace and after finishing, said: "Auntie, the dishes you made are really delicious, I'm full."

  After finishing, Fu Xin patted his round belly again. He was indeed very full, and Liu Si's cooking was really too delicious.

  "Director Jiang, you should give me a nod of approval now!" Taking advantage of the fact that Jiang Cheng was nearby, Jiang Haiyang's mood seemed to be quite good as well, Fu Xin immediately seized the opportunity to say.

  Jiang Haiyang wiped his mouth clean, picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip with pursed lips, and then said leisurely: "Wait a minute, I'll give it to you right away."

  After finishing speaking, Jiang Haiyang took out a notebook and a heroic pen from his body, signed a note, and handed it to Fu Xin's hand.

  This is Jiang Haiyang, and his mood is indeed not bad, because after this meal, he has already figured it out. He doesn't have anything to be ashamed of, nor can he be considered shameless, because all of this was caused by that group of "red-eyed disease" patients who were unkind first, so don't blame him for being unrighteous.

  Paid and satisfied, I took the batch of receipts from Jiang Haiyang's hands and started preparing to go home. At this time, the sky had not completely darkened, so I took advantage of the opportunity to hurry back home.

  ……

  The next morning, Fu Xing arrived at the gate of Hongxing Fertilizer Plant and saw Liu Yi's younger brother Liu Zhong leaning against the door, watching the workers coming and going without any reaction, not looking like he was working at all. Indeed, it was still a while before the official start of work.

  Xin Lai arrived early, but the factory had not yet started work hours. Although Liu Zhong wanted to start work earlier, his work hours had also not yet begun.

  This morning, Fu Xin got up very early and went to the old man's house with a nervous mood. He thought that the old Taoist would scold him severely, but it didn't happen. After listening to Fu Xin's explanation, the old Taoist said nothing and did not kick his butt like before, instead he directly instructed Fu Xin to start practicing.

  Moreover, although Fu Xin didn't have a watch or any other timing device, his experience from past lives gave him a good grasp of time. Fu Xin could clearly feel that today's harvest was earlier than usual.

  Now arriving at the entrance of Hongxing Fertilizer Plant, as expected, it's indeed too early.

  Actually, the old Taoist's tolerance towards Xin is understandable. He has been watching Xin's hard work over this period of time and appreciates his good comprehension and learning attitude. Therefore, the old Taoist is no longer as strict with Xin as before, showing great tolerance instead.

  Feng Xinyi entered the gatehouse and saw Liu Yihe and Guoer sitting by the stove, warming themselves. Feng Xinyi was not surprised at all because he had made arrangements with these two people the day before yesterday to come over early today to pick up fertilizer.

  "How long have you been here?" Fuxin Yi rushed in and ran to the stove, putting his hands on it to warm them up, then asked.

  "Not long after, how is it? Did you get the batch?" Liu Yi replied.

  "Alright, got it! Let's head to the warehouse now!" Fu Xin rubbed his hands together a couple more times before saying.

  Several people did not hesitate and went straight to the warehouse where fertilizers were stored. With Jiang Haiyang's note, Fu Xin and several others easily bought the fertilizer.

  This time, Fu Xin first bought three tons of fertilizer, a total of 120 bags, because they only had enough money to buy that much fertilizer.

  He got the fertilizer and went to work, as for the transportation problem, he didn't have to worry about it. Although Pei Xin felt embarrassed and wanted to participate in the transportation, he was driven away by Liu Yi, wasn't this looking down on Liu Yi?

  One hundred and twenty bags of fertilizer were placed at the entrance of the warehouse, Liu Yi and Yang Guo prepared to move them one by one to the store, anyway it's not far from here to the store, a few hours is enough to finish, no need to spend money to ask someone to come or owe people a favor to ask for help.

  As for piling up fertilizer here, and they moved the fertilizer away, the problem of preventing theft is not worth considering. Let alone, Liu Zhong, a big man, was guarding the gate, and it would be difficult for ordinary people to carry it out. Even Chen Guanyu, who had just arrived at the warehouse door, was enough. With a big living person here, who dares to move?

  Chen Guanyu initially wanted to participate in the move as well, but before he could finish speaking, Liu Yi scolded him and told him to get back to work. He said that Chen was currently on duty and shouldn't be absent from his post without permission, even if the factory management wasn't strict, it would still set a bad example. Besides, Chen Guanyu was already doing something by watching over things here.

  Chen Guanyu didn't force them and started watching Liu Yi and Yang Guo move the 120 bags of fertilizer.

  Liu Yi and Yang Guo were moving fertilizer in broad daylight, if they wanted to let others know, unless the two had magical powers, it was simply impossible. Therefore, the behavior of these two people immediately sparked some discussion, and also attracted some "red eye disease" patients.

  "Director, take a look outside! Are you not going to do anything about this?" The clerk in Jiang Haiyang's office pointed at the window and said to him, indicating Liu Yi and Yang Guo's figures.

  This staff member, although not a "red eye disease" patient himself, is a family member of a "red eye disease" patient. His home has been in an uproar, and now that he's seen this scene, he suddenly realizes it's an opportunity, and doesn't even care about Jiang Haiyang's face anymore, directly bringing it up.

  "Alas, I can't control it anymore. You all do whatever you want, as long as you don't cause me any big trouble, I won't ask about it! I'm tired of this matter, let Manager Lan deal with it!" Jiang Haiyang sighed and said with some pain in his heart.

  Although Pei Xin had told him to pretend, the scene in front of him was clearly a genuine outburst from Jiang Haiyang! And how could he not be genuinely emotional? Even his most trusted people were doing this to him, and he felt deeply helpless!

  Deep down, I couldn't help but sigh, this group of people, they really want money more than their lives!

  "It's really self-inflicted, unbearable. Is the country's property also something you can take at will? Moreover, this is still a very important means of production." Jiang Haiyang muttered to himself.

  Last night, after Fu Xin left, he immediately came to the factory and used the factory's phone to call his old comrade who was the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He explained the situation clearly, and unlike him, his old comrade hesitated for a moment before agreeing directly. Moreover, he also promised Jiang Haiyang that this matter would be settled tonight.

  Jiang Haiyang was relieved at this, now he just waited to see a good show, and finally transformed into a savior, going to the detention room to bail people out.

  P.S. This chapter may be a bit stiff, please forgive me! Today I lost more than 6,000 words of manuscript and then rewrote it again. Under the influence of the previous version, I feel that it is not as natural as the previous version, but rather stiff.
