283: How could there be someone as despicable as Jiang Fei?

Kong Sumei led six people into the military Supermarket.

They were all Kong Linlan’s relatives.

Kong Linlan was startled: “Big Sister, why are you here?”

“How dare you even ask?!” Kong Sumei said, hands on her hips:

“If it weren’t for your special list targeting people from Ping An Small Mall, how could we have paid such high prices when buying things there?!”

The others also chimed in, talking over each other.

“Linlan, we don’t care whose money you want to swindle, but you can’t drag us into it!”

“Ping An somehow got our photos. Anyone who is your relative or friend has to pay triple the price for things.”

“Originally, I only needed 100 grams of gold to buy a bag of noodles at Ping An, but now I have to pay 300 grams.”

“Buying once or twice is fine, but if we keep buying at such high prices, not only do we become suckers, but our families don’t have that much gold either.”

Upon learning the full story, Kong Linlan’s teeth gnashed loudly.

Jiang Fei was using her own methods against Ping An to retaliate against her!

“Big Sister, don’t worry, I’ll resolve this.”

“Besides, if you can’t buy things at Ping An, you can come to the military store.”

Kong Sumei impatiently interrupted her: “You can’t give us a discount, and the goods here aren’t as good as Ping An’s. Why would we buy here?”

“Quickly give me back the extra gold I paid, then go outside and apologize to Ping An’s boss, so Jiang Fei stops targeting us.”

Hearing this, Kong Linlan’s face darkened: “I can give you the gold, but I will absolutely not apologize to Jiang Fei!”

“Then I’ll take goods from your store to make up the difference!”

As soon as Kong Sumei said this, her relatives readily agreed.

“That’s right, we were targeted by Ping An because of you, so you must compensate us.”

“The military store is all under your management, and there are countless supplies. Us taking some can also be considered helping you out, saving them from expiring on the shelves if they don’t sell.”

“We’re all relatives. We can’t buy things from Ping An now, you can’t just ignore us.”

As they spoke, several people began filling bags with goods from the store, their eyes full of greed.

Finally finding a reason to take things, everyone wished they had more hands.

“You can’t take them! The supplies in the store belong to the Base! Not to me personally!”

Kong Linlan quickly called her employees to stop Kong Sumei and the others.

But the three employees couldn’t stop them at all.

Kong Sumei and the others only stopped after filling more than ten bags, then left contentedly.

Kong Linlan, still standing there, was so angry her blood pressure soared.

Big Sister and the others were even taking advantage of her!

An employee cautiously asked: “Store Manager, what should we do about the missing goods…?”

“Pay with my contribution card.”

Kong Linlan wearily handed the card to the employee.

The military store had to submit an account book to the Base Leader once a month. If the accounts didn’t match then, her job would be at risk.

Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out.

She looked up.

Jiang Fei was standing at the entrance, cracking sunflower seeds.

Seeing Kong Linlan look over, she deliberately turned her head to look at the tricycle beside her and said,

“How nice, all the goods sold out today.”

The sarcasm was palpable.

“Get out of here!” Kong Linlan frantically grabbed an ornament from the cashier counter and threw it.

But due to the distance, the ornament fell halfway and did not hit Jiang Fei.

“Tsk.” Jiang Fei looked at the ornament on the ground, shook her head in disdain, then turned and rode away on her tricycle.

Her contemptuous attitude successfully made Kong Linlan cry from anger.

How could there be such a despicable person as Jiang Fei?!!!

She immediately left and drove to the Central Building.

She was going to tell the Base Leader what happened today! To get justice for her!

Little did she know, in her loss of reason, she had already fallen into Jiang Fei’s trap.

The next day.

Jiang Fei still woke up early.

She loaded 50 bottles of white sesame powder into the tricycle’s cargo compartment.

Anyway, she had plenty of mineral water bottles and new products, enough to sell until the day Kong Linlan went crazy with anger.

Riding her tricycle to the entrance of the military Supermarket, Jiang Fei picked up her loudspeaker to start promoting when a Hummer stopped in front of her.

Shao Ziyue, who stepped out of the car, was dressed in her usual qipao and high heels, her face stern.

“Mo Yan’an really didn’t lie to me, I can find you at the military Supermarket.”

“I want to buy special potions, how much do you still have?”

Jiang Fei pretended to think: “I just got a batch from a friend a while ago, probably twenty or thirty liters.”

“Can’t grow food in the fields anymore?”

Shao Ziyue subconsciously looked around, confirming there were no passersby paying attention, then lowered her voice and said:

“After all the plants withered, a strange substance appeared in the soil.”

“The Research Institute and Cultivation Park can’t identify what it is, they can only confirm that the substance prevents plants from growing, and only special potions can suppress it.”

“The ones I bought from you last time are almost all used up.”

The Cultivation Park is responsible for the entire Base’s food supply, and with a large planting area, consumption would naturally be fast.

Shao Ziyue offered a price: “If you sell all the potions you have to me, I’ll give you two goats and two chickens, guaranteed to be a pair that can breed.”

“Besides that, I’ll take all the white sesame powder on your vehicle, at 10 times the price of Ping An’s mixed grain powder.”

Jiang Fei: “Change the goats and chickens to 1 mother goose, 1 gander, and 1 mother duck.”

“Alright.” Shao Ziyue readily agreed, then pursed her lips and continued:

“Can you ask your friend if they would sell the potion formula?”

“No matter what demands your friend makes, the Cultivation Park will agree.”

Jiang Fei had a bit of a headache.

She would love to give the formula, but she didn’t have one!

“I asked my friend before, she doesn’t sell the formula to outsiders, saying it’s an ancestral rule that cannot be broken.”

A hint of disappointment flashed in Shao Ziyue’s eyes, but she didn’t make things difficult for Jiang Fei: “I’ll go back to the Cultivation Park to get the ducks, geese, and gold. Where should we meet later?”

“My home, all the potions are at my house.”

“Okay, then I’ll see you at Fenglin Villa District.” Shao Ziyue reminded:

“The news that the land cannot be cultivated has not been made public. I hope you also won’t tell anyone, to avoid causing panic.”

“Alright.” Jiang Fei helped Shao Ziyue load the white sesame powder into her car.

After Shao Ziyue drove off, Jiang Fei was about to go home to fill up on fountain water.

Another Hummer drove over.

It was Cheng Pingwei and Kong Linlan.

“Base Leader, look, this is how Jiang Fei steals business from the military store!” Kong Linlan pointed at Jiang Fei and complained:

“Residents all know that Ping An’s biggest supplier is the Mo family.”

“Jiang Fei deliberately sells goods at low prices at the entrance of the military store, clearly helping the Mo family win over people’s hearts.”

No matter how angry she was, she couldn’t foolishly tell the Base Leader about raising prices, so she came up with this method.

Dragging the Mo family into it, escalating it to a question of Jiang Fei taking sides, the Base Leader would definitely handle it seriously.

Even if the matter of raising prices was exposed, she wasn’t afraid.

Without surveillance, without detailed card swipe records, Jiang Fei had no evidence. What could she do to her?
