118: Jiang Fei has a gigolo?

“You sealed my Supermarket, and then you sent people to kill me!”

“They assassinate me once every day, to the point where I don’t even dare to open my Supermarket now. If you push me too far, believe me, we’ll all go down together!”

Yao Jin shouted, furious.

Zhou Wanqing, standing nearby, nervously collected the playing cards on the table.

The Patrol Team released Yao Jin after holding him for a week.

For the past half-month, Zhou Wanqing had tried to assassinate Yao Jin every day.

Guns couldn't be used in the Safety Shelter, so she could only create various 'accidents', setting traps on his usual routes.

However, Niu Er, who was always by Yao Jin's side, was highly vigilant and a skilled fighter, helping him escape danger every time.

Zhou Wanqing lowered her head, not daring to look at Jiang Fei.

She didn't want to cause trouble for her Benefactor; she just wanted to kill those who targeted her Benefactor.

But she hadn't handled either attempt well... Next time, she must be more careful.

Jiang Fei, however, found Yao Jin's accusations baffling: “I didn’t send anyone to kill you.”

“Besides you, who else could it be?! You're the only damn pauper in the Safety Shelter who’s got it in for me!”

Yao Jin yelled at the top of his lungs: “Seventeen days! Do you know how I spent those seventeen days?!”

“I even suspected it was because I ate too much meat, and vengeful spirits were coming for me, so I ate vegetarian for a week because of it!”

“Calling everyone a pauper, a damn pauper—how many people have you offended?”

Jiang Fei's single sentence left Yao Jin speechless.

He seemed to... call everyone he met a pauper... Yao Jin's lips moved, about to argue.

Smack!

Suddenly, a belt whipped fiercely across Yao Jin's back.

“Ah! Who's trying to ambush me, asking for death... Uh, Father?”

The middle-aged man standing at the doorway was about forty-something, wearing the same style of gold vest and leopard-print beach shorts as Yao Jin.

“You unfilial son! Who told you to come out and disgrace me?!”

“You squandered so much of my family fortune! And you were taken away by the Patrol Team for investigation! What right do you have to yell and shout here?!”

Yaos Father raised his hand, whipping Yao Jin with the belt.

Afraid of being beaten to death, Yao Jin shrieked and ran behind Jiang Fei.

Jiang Fei quickly moved aside.

The belt accurately hit Yao Jin's face, leaving a burning red mark.

“Ah!!! I'm your biological son! How can you hit me so hard?!”

“If you weren’t my biological son, I would have strangled you to death!”

Seeing Yaos Father about to hit him again, Yao Jin turned and ran.

The two circled the shelves, with a miserable shriek occasionally echoing.

Jiang Fei took the opportunity to walk to the cashier and handed the calculator to Su Liuyuan: “Calculate the damages; I'll have the father and son compensate us later.”

A lamb delivered to her doorstep—it would be a waste not to butcher it!

Su Liuyuan immediately understood Jiang Fei's meaning, staring intently at Yaos Father and Yao Jin as he pressed the calculator.

Zhou Wanqing's trio was responsible for taking paper and pen to record the damaged goods.

More than ten minutes later.

Yao Jin lay on the ground, half-dead.

Yaos Father stopped, panting, his face full of smiles: “Boss Jiang, I'm sorry to have made you witness such a spectacle.”

“It's fine, just compensate us for the value,” Jiang Fei motioned for Su Liuyuan to tally the bill.

Su Liuyuan held a list in one hand and the calculator in the other: “You knocked down 14 bags of dried vegetables with your belt, you soiled 6 bags, your son broke 8 bags. Each bag is 1000 grams of gold.”

“10 packs of instant noodles were crushed, 6 grams per pack.”

“Adding our four people's emotional distress compensation, fright compensation, and the loss of customers who were afraid to enter the Supermarket because of you, the total is 43060 grams of gold.”

Yao Jin tremblingly raised his hand: “Father... I told you they were bandits... but you didn't believe me...”

“Shut up!” After yelling at Yao Jin, Yaos Father's expression instantly changed as he turned, smiling:

“I’ll have the driver go get it right away.”

“Actually, I came today because I want to cooperate with Boss Jiang and break into the wealthy circles.”

“I have connections, but I lack goods, while you have goods but lack connections.”

He had been eyeing Ping An Supermarket for a long time.

Now, seeing the rare goods in the Supermarket, such as dried vegetables and live shrimp, further solidified his determination to cooperate.

The wealthy circles are well-informed.

In these difficult times, obtaining first-hand information is the only way to truly survive.

Otherwise, if danger strikes, the people at the top will flee in advance, leaving you behind to die.

But the wealthy circles looked down on upstarts like him, disdaining to associate with him.

Unless he became their supplier, he could then build good relationships with them and enter the upper class.

Yaos Father laid out his plan: “I won't interfere with your business; I'll just take your goods and sell them to the wealthy circles.”

“I guarantee I will earn gold, at least double the price you sell them for in the Supermarket.”

“The gold will be yours; anything else they give will be mine.”

“Shunli Supermarket can also be yours; it will no longer compete with Ping An for business.”

“The premise is that your behind-the-scenes Boss must guarantee the quality of the fruits and vegetables, dried vegetables, and live shrimp.”

He wasn't afraid of running out of stock, only of poor quality goods.

Jiang Fei had never hidden the matter of her behind-the-scenes Boss; anyone with a mind to investigate could find out, so it wasn't a secret.

Yaos Father's attitude was sincere, and Jiang Fei readily agreed: “That's fine.”

Who would complain about having too little gold?

It just so happened that she was worrying about the Supermarket.

Yaos Father's driver also returned home with 5 briefcases.

Each case contained ten kilograms of gold; the excess was a gift from Yaos Father to Jiang Fei.

Su Liuyuan checked and confirmed everything was in order, helping Jiang Fei move the gold into the truck, and even loaded the goods Yaos Father had “bought” onto his commercial vehicle for free.

“Boss Jiang, we're going to the Exchange now to handle the Supermarket transfer.”

Yaos Father dragged Yao Jin and shoved him into the car.

Jiang Fei, driving the truck, followed behind them, putting the gold into her Supermarket.

System: 【Ding——Gold detected: 50000 grams】

Upon arriving at the Exchange, the formalities were quickly completed, and Jiang Fei received the keys to Shunli Supermarket.

Yaos Father: “Boss Jiang, I want to discuss something with you. Could you let Xiao Jin learn how to do business by your side?”

“Just treat him as free labor, use him as you please. If he dares to disobey, just tell me, and I’ll beat him to death!”

This young woman, despite her age, was very capable. If his foolish son followed her, he could learn a lot.

Everyone dies someday; he had to think about his foolish son's future.

Yao Jin, however, didn't understand Yaos Father's good intentions and grumbled: “I don't want to learn from this damn pauper!”

“Rude! Call her Boss Jiang!”

Smack—!

One slap, and Yao Jin quieted down, bowing respectfully: “Hello, Boss Jiang.”

Jiang Fei was very satisfied with this: “Then I'll take Xiao Jin.”

Yao Jin gritted his teeth in anger, but with Yaos Father nearby, he had no choice but to suppress his fury.

With an extra Supermarket and a tool person, Jiang Fei was in a great mood. She went back and found A Meng, telling him to have Wu Dayong come over.

About two hours later, Crippled Wang arrived in a van to drop off Wu Dayong, also bringing 5 truckloads of bricks and 2 truckloads of cement.

As usual, he instructed his subordinates to deliver them to the back gate of Mingshang Apartment Complex.

After some time apart, Crippled Wang was tanned as if he had just returned from some state.

He was already thin, and with his darkened skin, he looked like a walking matchstick.

Jiang Fei almost didn't recognize him: “Why are you so tanned?”

“Don't even mention it. I've been lazy recently, didn't wear sunscreen or a hat, and before I knew it, I was tanned like charcoal.”

Crippled Wang looked at Shunli Supermarket in front of him: “Big Sis, when did you buy a Supermarket?”

“It was free. You help me renovate, and all the supplies in this Supermarket are yours.”

Yao Jin was released by the authorities and had rectified the Supermarket as required.

The shelves were full of new goods.

Hearing Jiang Fei's words, Yao Jin, who was standing at the very back, became displeased: “The supplies are mine. How can you decide that?”

“Should I ask your father?”

Yao Jin immediately shut his mouth and returned to his original position.

Crippled Wang was bewildered: “Big Sis, isn't he your rival?”

“His father entrusted him to me.”

Crippled Wang: ?

Was Big Sis starting to take in pretty boys???

Although Yao Jin was dressed plainly, he was handsome.

Unaware of Crippled Wang's misunderstanding, Jiang Fei discussed the renovation details with him and Wu Dayong.

Shunli Supermarket was fully equipped; with a rearrangement of items, some new counters, and a new signboard, it could open for business.

Jiang Fei had already decided on the name—

Ping An Branch Fresh Supermarket.

It would only sell aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, dried fruits and roasted nuts, dried vegetables and mushrooms, and frozen foods.

This way, Ping An Supermarket would have more space and wouldn't need to expand.

After explaining the renovation matters, Jiang Fei asked Su Liuyuan for the key to 305 and drove off.

Seeing that Yao Jin outside had already started working with Crippled Wang and others, Zhou Wanqing was a little disappointed.

Yao Jin had become her Benefactor's subordinate; she couldn't kill him.

—

Jiang Fei returned to Mingshang Apartment Complex, first collecting the 7 large trucks at the back gate, then going to 305 to retrieve the gold.

【Ding——Gold detected: 368923 grams】

【Current unlock progress: 10%】

Fruits and vegetables are really valuable!

After feeding Dahong with canned food and locking him in the bedroom, Jiang Fei took out a large glass fish tank, placed it on the ground, filled it with water from the Supermarket's second floor, and put about thirty green shrimp in it, to throw people off.

Unfortunately, there was no movement from the fish in the pond.

Should she try raising crabs?

Knock knock knock——A knock on the door interrupted Jiang Fei's thoughts.

“Excuse me, is this Jiang Fei's house?”
