252: Someone from the security office is here

Cheng Pingwei smiled at Jiang Fei and said, "Everyone in the Base praises Ping An Small Mall. It has a wide variety of goods and fresh food. I've been curious for a long time, and today I finally have time to visit."

"I heard that Boss Jiang has a good relationship with Mo Yanan of the Mo family and they are also partners. This mall was given to you by him."

"However, no matter how many goods there are, they will eventually sell out one day. The more partners, the better."

"Is Boss Jiang willing to have one more partner?"

"I can offer 100 boxes of assorted grains, cooking oil, 100 boxes of beef, lamb, and pork, or you can tell me what goods you want."

Ping An Small Mall has been very famous in the Base recently. As a partner, the Mo family has also received praise and support from some residents.

This is not good for the military.

Once residents start fully supporting these wealthy families, the military will gradually lose control of the Base.

In the past two years, the military and the noble families have coexisted peacefully on the surface, but in reality, they have been secretly competing.

This is because the military needs the noble families' supplies and talents, while the noble families need the military's protection.

Both sides took what they needed, so the balance was not broken.

Now that the noble families' small mall has become a life guarantee for residents, the military cannot take it for themselves and can only choose to join.

If the noble families want to win people's hearts with supplies, then they will also get involved.

If they want to earn a good reputation, everyone earns it together.

After all, times are different now.

Residents just want to eat well, dress warmly, and live peacefully. Whoever can satisfy them is the boss.

Jiang Fei was not foolish and understood Cheng Pingwei's meaning.

A big opportunity delivered to her doorstep, there's no reason not to seize it.

It's good to lean on a big tree for shade!

"Although I am a partner with Young Master Mo, Ping An Small Mall belongs only to me personally."

"If Base Leader Cheng wants to join, first, he cannot interfere with my business; second, there will be no dividends; and third, he must allow the small mall to legally carry firearms."

Cheng Pingwei was stunned.

So many supplies only earned him the status of a partner.

What's the difference between this and robbery?

Would Mo Yanan do a losing business???

On second thought, it's not a loss if he can gain resident support.

Cheng Pingwei: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the goods later, as well as the gun permits."

"Can those goods be exchanged for something else?"

"Assorted grains, cooking oil, and meat products are not lacking in the mall, but the top floor is missing a lot of gold ornaments."

Jiang Fei seriously tried to get gold, not forgetting to reassure Cheng Pingwei:

"Today I will launch low-priced welfare products, calling it an event in cooperation with the military."

Without having to pay for supplies, Cheng Pingwei's smile returned to his face: "I will send a batch within a month."

Just gold jewelry, he could have workers make it on the spot using gold bricks.

"Happy cooperation, Boss Jiang."

Cheng Pingwei stood up and shook Jiang Fei's hand: "Your people have entertained me for half a day. I'll take these three sets of jewelry on the table. Please wrap them up for me."

With gold to be earned, Jiang Fei immediately found boxes to pack the jewelry.

Price tags were affixed to all the jewelry, totaling 3,658,888 grams.

Cheng Pingwei contacted the driver downstairs via walkie-talkie to retrieve the gold.

About half an hour later, the driver drove back, bringing enough gold bricks, gold bars, and legal gun permits.

It was a small green booklet with the military's seal on it.

All employees of Ping An Small Mall could legally carry firearms.

The gun permits were placed at the cashier on the first floor, and the gold was moved to the storeroom by Jiang Zhengkang and others.

After seeing Cheng Pingwei off, Jiang Fei told everyone about the cooperation.

"There are three large boxes of expired instant food in the storeroom. You can move them outside to sell later. Remember to keep broadcasting on the loudspeaker about our cooperation with the military."

As soon as she finished speaking, a car stopped at the entrance of the mall.

Mo Yanan rushed in: "Goddess Sister Jiang Fei, I heard that the Base Leader came. Did he make things difficult for you?"

"No, he came to cooperate."

Jiang Fei repeated what she had just said to everyone.

Mo Yanan roughly guessed Cheng Pingwei's purpose, which was nothing more than fearing that the small mall would influence residents' thoughts and make them support the noble families.

He was not surprised by this.

As early as the day the small mall opened, he had anticipated that Cheng Pingwei would come one day to get a share.

It was a pity that Cheng Pingwei did not know that his cooperation with Goddess Sister was not about opening a small mall, but about hiding weapons.

Seeing that Jiang Fei was fine, Mo Yanan felt relieved: "I just received news from the entrance that people from the Qingyang City Safety Shelter have arrived at the Base."

"There are two people in total, one of whom is Team Leader Xu Qianyao."

"I ordered people to send them to Mos Hotel to rest."

"Goddess Sister Jiang Fei, do you need me to take you to them?"

Jiang Fei: "No need."

It was rare for old friends to visit, so Jiang Fei handed over the small mall to Su Liuyuan and drove her pickup truck to Mos Hotel.

Qiu Qiu happened to come out of the elevator in the lobby.

"Manager Qiu, which room are the people from the Safety Shelter staying in?"

Qiu Qiu: "212 and 213."

"Thank you." Jiang Fei took the stairs to the second floor and knocked on the door of room 212.

"Who is it?"

"It's me, Jiang Fei."

The door opened quickly.

Yang Zhanguo excitedly slapped Jiang Fei on the shoulder: "Little Jiang, why are you here?"

"After a few months, Yatou is getting prettier and prettier."

A burning pain came from her left shoulder, but Jiang Fei tried to remain calm.

Team Leader Yang's strength was as great as ever.

She didn't hurt at all!

"Mo Yanan told me you were coming."

"Where is Xu Qianyao?"

"He's next door. I'll take you to him. We have something to tell you." Yang Zhanguo walked to 213, knocked twice, and opened the door.

"Jiang Fei?"

Xu Qianyao looked at Jiang Fei in surprise and quickly moved aside to let them in.

"Team Leader Yang and I were planning to look for you later, but I didn't expect you to come first."

Yang Zhanguo: "Little Jiang, we are old acquaintances, so I won't beat around the bush."

"We are here this time for the special potion you once gave to the Planting Base."

"Some time ago, changes in the gray fog caused many animals to run out of the deep mountains and old forests, attacking humans, but they helped us solve the food problem, and the survivors in the Safety Shelter can all eat their fill."

"However, no grain can be grown in the fields; whatever is planted rots. People cannot just eat meat without vegetables and staple foods. Most importantly, a large number of medicinal herbs have also died."

"Old Kang fell ill because of this, and we had no choice but to come to Kyoto Base to find you."

Xu Qianyao opened the two large suitcases he brought: "Here is all the gold the Safety Shelter currently has, about sixty to seventy kilograms. You can see how much special potion it can buy."

Jiang Fei: "Let's calculate it based on the previous price of medicinal herbs."

When she was at the Safety Shelter, everyone helped her a lot and took care of her business.

When the Safety Shelter encountered difficulties, she could not ignore it or raise prices.

Suddenly, Yang Zhanguo and Xu Qianyao stood up and bowed to Jiang Fei.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Fei helped the two up.

"We know how important the special potion is. You selling it at a low price is definitely a loss. There is nothing we can do for you, so we can only express our gratitude in this way." Yang Zhanguo patted Jiang Fei's left shoulder again:

"Yatou, thank you for helping the Safety Shelter."

It happened again, and Jiang Fei endured the pain and said, "It's nothing... I promised my teacher that if the special potion ran out, I could come to Kyoto to get it from me."

"Even if you don't bring gold, I will give it to you."

Looking down at her watch, Jiang Fei repeated: "It's almost noon."

"Team Leader Yang, this is your first time in Kyoto Base. Let me take you out for a stroll and visit Su Liuyuan and the others."

"After lunch, I will send the special potion to your hotel."

"I have a Base contribution card. Team Leader Yang and Xu Qianyao, buy whatever you like, I'll pay."

The two readily agreed and took Jiang Fei's pickup truck to the commercial street.

After parking the car, the three got out and went shopping.

Yang Zhanguo, who had never been to the Base before, looked at everything around him in shock.

"Before, I heard Qian Yao say how well the Base was built, and I thought he was exaggerating, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"If it weren't for the gray fog floating in the air, I would have thought the apocalypse hadn't happened."

"I remember there's a toy store on that street. Let's go buy some gifts for Hao Hao." As Jiang Fei was speaking, she suddenly saw an acquaintance.

Across the street.

You Chengyu walked out of a restaurant, and his gaze happened to meet Jiang Fei's. He immediately gave her the middle finger.

He couldn't afford to provoke her, nor could he retaliate, so he just showed some contempt.

Then he turned and left.

Jiang Fei: ?

What's wrong with him???

Yang Zhanguo and Xu Qianyao were equally confused.

"Little Jiang, do you know that man?"

"He looks quite handsome, but he seems a bit silly."

Jiang Fei: "I don't know him."

Xu Qianyao pretended not to hear.

If Jiang Fei didn't say anything, then he wouldn't explain either.
