Chapter 32 Striving for a Better Life
Tian Ersan went to bed early last night and left the night watch to someone outside. He didn't go out to check the situation until he got up in the morning.

"Mr. Su, thank you for your hard work."

Tian Ersan greeted Su Mingjian with a smile.

Su Mingjian was picking out packages with several workers when he heard this, so he straightened up and smiled.

"Boss Tian, ​​the company's shipments are being sent out here today. I see there's still a lot of space in front of your door, can I borrow it for a bit, so I don't have to go back to work?"

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Sure, use it as you like. I checked my phone when I woke up today, and there are 1,200 orders that haven't been shipped yet!"

Tian Ersan spoke haltingly, happily boasting about his workload for the day.

Su Mingjian's eyes lit up, and the drowsiness from staying up all night disappeared.

"Why so many?"

Tian Ersan smiled and sat down on the steps by the door.

"People who buy canned food don't actually have the habit of eating it, but once they buy it, they want to eat it. Young people are all little gluttons. After they finish eating it in a few days, they get the habit of eating canned food and then they buy it."

“I don’t sell canned food to people who have a habit of eating canned food. There aren’t many people eating canned food in the market now. Except for banquets in the countryside, I don’t usually eat a bottle of canned food.”

"But I expanded the market and retained many customers."

"Many people buy from my online store multiple times. Even if they buy five orders at once, that's five packages!"

"Haha, business is good anyway. Mr. Su, go home and rest. We'll be busy this afternoon."

Su Mingjian knew that his efforts yesterday had paid off. "Then I'll rent a place nearby and won't need to do any other business anymore. I'll just focus on helping Boss Tian with his business!"

“Okay.” Tian Ersan readily agreed. “I can handle things here. Boss Su, go back and rest. Making money is important, but your health is also important.”

Su Mingjian quickly had his parents come over to help with the work, and without even sleeping, he pried open the abandoned house next door that no one lived in!

Get on the bus first, then buy the ticket; we'll discuss renting the house when the owner of the abandoned building arrives.

Tian Ersan suspected that this person used to be involved in organized crime and that he was ruthless and cunning.

However, there's no need to delve into this matter; everyone's just trying to make a living these days.

Tian Ersan continued editing videos and now has 200,000 followers.

It's not that the video quality is low; it's that there are too few users on the website now, making it difficult for the number of fans to continue to grow rapidly.

The group buying canned goods is not fans of video websites, but viewers of live broadcasts and some online store customers.

Because people in the live stream were boosting positive reviews and order numbers, some people who intended to buy canned goods also opted for cheaper canned goods.

The number of fans in live streaming rooms and video websites is limited by the current number of internet users, and growth is very slow.

However, the number of people shopping online is still increasing, and the better a store does, the easier it is for people to discover it.

Especially with the accumulation of old customers, some distributors without channels also get canned goods from Tian Ersan for four or five yuan a bottle, and these have gradually become the main buyers.

The quality of this canned food isn't exactly reassuring.

In the office that had been tidied up on the second floor, Wang Linlin was using a photocopying machine to photocopy handwritten papers.

These days, we receive thousands of orders a day, and it's too much work to copy them by hand. So we still copy a small portion by hand, and then mix in some photocopied thank-you notes.

Zhang Shuya stood to one side, responsible for organizing the thank-you letters.

Zhou Shanshan was lying in bed making a phone call.

"You filthy bitch!" Zhou Shanshan cursed into the phone, "You damn bitch, you finally answered the phone!"

Zhang Shuya and Wang Linlin both glanced back, then quickly continued with their work, ignoring her. They had both witnessed yesterday's events from upstairs and harbored no goodwill towards those shady characters.

Seeing that Tian Ersan had more and more men under his command, the two finally felt much more at ease.

Now that Tian Ersan won't let them go out, the two of them obediently stay in the house, not wanting to cause Tian Ersan any trouble.

Zhou Shanshan caused trouble for Tian Ersan. Yesterday, he spent over a thousand yuan more to find someone, and that will be deducted from Zhou Shanshan's salary.

"Damn it! My boss spent over a thousand yuan yesterday and deducted it all from my salary! You bitch, why don't you just die!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen retorted, "I'll pay you back when I have the money! It wasn't my idea to go yesterday; Bao Yudong and the others insisted on going. I wish they'd beaten those three idiots to death!"

After cursing for a bit, Zhou Shanshan calmed down a bit. "Didn't you get beaten up when you got back? Didn't they beat you to death?"

Liu Wen explained, "No, Bao Yudong was beaten up and didn't even have money for medical treatment. He even wanted to ask me for money, but I refused to give it to him. His two underlings also stopped following him."

Zhou Shanshan felt much better. "Where do you live?"

Liu Wen, carefree and nonchalant, replied, "I used to stay in hotels with those guys, but I don't anymore. Brother Ma from our place told me to work for him! Those idiots used to take a cut, but now Brother Ma said I can keep all the profits!"

Zhou Shanshan asked in confusion, "Who is Brother Ma?"

“Ma Lun, the manager of this nightclub I work at,” Liu Wen said quickly. “The two guys who didn’t get beaten up yesterday are Ma Lun’s henchmen. I told him I knew your boss, and Brother Ma gave me face!”

Zhou Shanshan cursed, "You damn bitch! You're a prostitute yourself, and you're dragging me down with you!"

Liu Wen didn't want to be criticized; she felt embarrassed. She also thought of the scene yesterday when Boss Tian handed her water and spoke to her kindly.

"Your boss is really nice, you should stick with her."

Zhou Shanshan's anger subsided after hearing this. "You should find a proper job quickly. Stop being a prostitute. Why don't you come over here? I'll talk to the boss and give you a job."

Liu Wen laughed and said, "I wouldn't go for 1,500 or 1,600 a month. I can easily earn over 1,000 a day on a good day, and easily make 10,000 or 20,000 a month. I'm not going to work for someone else. If your boss thinks highly of me, I'll go to bed with him with just one phone call!"

"You bitch!" Zhou Shanshan cursed, but she was no longer in the mood to be angry. "I'm going to work now, bye."

Liu Wen didn't want to talk either, "I'm going to sleep too, I'm so sleepy."

Some went to sleep, others went to work, and they embarked on different paths in life.

At this moment, Tian Ersan was on the first floor calculating when he would reach 100,000 yuan.

"Today we had 1,200 orders. If each order is worth 15 yuan, that's 18,000 yuan."

"The profit per order is about 3 yuan. Since the supplier lowered the price, I have only made less than 10,000 yuan from the three or four thousand orders in the past few days. Most of the funds are still waiting and will arrive in a few days."

"If I don't spend any money for five days, I can definitely make 100,000 in five days."

"But we've ordered too much stock, and since we're all small businesses, they're not shipping to us."

"It's still peak season for buying yellow peaches. If we don't buy them now, they'll rot once they're ripe."

“Acquiring yellow peaches requires funds, and producing foam boxes also requires funds. Only the courier station can delay things.”

After thinking about it for a while, Tian Ersan felt that he was not in a hurry. The system was just an aid to him. It would be better if he had it, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't. He didn't need to rely on the system to live.

What if it's the kind of system that issues tasks that must be completed, or else you'll be eliminated? Wouldn't I be walking into the lion's den?

After calming down a bit, Tian Ersan wasn't in such a hurry anymore.

"Let things take their course and live life to the fullest."
