The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Seeing Jiang Jiang's expression of worrying about his wallet, Uncle Ping just smiled heartily: "The rent is easy to negotiate. Ah Chong is a good boy. Miss Jiang, you are his friend, so you are my friend. I don't even need the rent!"

"That's so embarrassing! How about this, if the warehouse is okay, I'll rent it for five months and give you..."

Before Jiang Jiang could even mention the price, Uncle Ping interrupted her: "It's just one tael of silver a month. For five months, just give me five taels!"

Only five taels?

Jiang Jiang couldn't believe her ears. One tael of silver a month? How was this any different from renting you a villa for one yuan in your previous life?

This is the capital city where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Uncle Ping is definitely a hidden rich man!

In this world, some people appear to be hard-working uncles running a shop.

In fact, he is a landlord who is very wealthy and is busy collecting rent every day?

[The hidden boss is actually right next to me]

"Come on, I'll show you the warehouse."

By this time, Gu Yanqing had already turned around and left with the key.

"Wait for me." Jiang Jiang came to her senses and quickly caught up with him. As she walked, Jiang Jiang did not forget to speak softly: "Yan Chong, I see that Uncle Ping treats you very well and seems to be very generous. Does he still have a lot of business?"

"How did you two meet? Does Uncle Ping have any other relatives? Does he have any children?"

Gu Yanqing: ...

Why does this little girl have so many questions?

As he watched the two people walking away, Uncle Ping could still vaguely hear the intermittent voice of Jiang Jiang pestering Gu Yanqing with questions.

Although Gu Yanqing was a little impatient, he still managed to be patient and spoke to Jiang Jiang in a gentle voice.

Even when acting...

He had never been so attentive before.

Uncle Ping's eyes were filled with complex emotions——

how many years.

If the master were still alive, he would probably feel relieved to see Master A Chong's current appearance.

Master A Chong is finally willing to open his heart to others again...

**

"crunch"

Gu Yanqing pushed open the door of the warehouse with force, and the clean, tidy and extremely spacious warehouse came into Jiang Jiang's sight in an instant.

Such a big and clean warehouse, only one or two pounds a month?

Jiang Jiang still feels it's a little unreal.

"Uncle Ping is not teasing us, right?" Jiang Jiang muttered to himself.

"Don't worry, he never jokes, and... he has a lot of properties in the capital, so he doesn't need your few taels of silver." Gu Yanqing put away the key and slowly followed Jiang Jiang.

Hearing Gu Yanqing's words, Jiang Jiang suddenly stopped. Gu Yanqing behind her almost bumped into Jiang Jiang. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and moved the two people away without leaving a trace.

"You said Uncle Ping has a lot of businesses? Then he must be very wealthy and have a lot of connections in the capital, right?"

Jiang Jiang blinked her big eyes and asked anxiously.

"Well, Uncle Ping is actually from Hezhou, but he has been doing business in the capital for more than ten years. He has accumulated a lot of industries and connections here. Why are you asking this?" Gu Yanqing looked at Jiang Jiang deeply and asked back.

"It's nothing. You see, I don't have many acquaintances in the capital. As for the cotton matter, if I want to sell it outside in the future, I may need someone to come forward to negotiate... With my identity, it's not very convenient anyway."

Adhering to the idea of ​​"survive until you are ninety-nine", Jiang Jiang does not want to get involved in this cotton issue himself.

After all, the future cotton war may involve many forces, and even court disputes. She really doesn't want to attract other people's attention at all.

She just wanted to survive until she grew up.

My eldest brother has reported to the Ministry of Industry today. He may become famous in the next few months. By then, as Jiang Chaosheng's sister, I will inevitably be recognized.

She couldn't cause trouble for her eldest brother, nor could she arouse suspicion from other forces.

"You want to ask Uncle Ping to represent you?" Gu Yanqing immediately understood what Jiang Jiang meant.

This little girl is so cunning, always trying to hide herself.

I really cherish my life.

However, Gu Yanqing still appreciated her cautious attitude.

"I think Uncle Ping is easy to talk to. He treats you very well. You are from the same hometown. Do you think he is trustworthy?" Jiang Jiang walked around the warehouse several times, talking as he went.

Uncle Ping has a wealthy family and is a kind person, so maybe we can really ask him for help.

The most important thing is that Uncle Ping is so rich, he shouldn’t be coveting her little cotton, right?

"I don't need him to use any connections. After we collect the cotton, we need to wait for a good opportunity. When the time comes, Uncle Ping will contact the buyer. After the deal is done, I can give him a commission."

Jiang Jiang said this with an arrogant look on his face.

good time?

Gu Yanqing was very concerned about the good opportunity that Jiang Jiang mentioned, but he did not ask any further questions, and there was not even a trace of curiosity on his face.

"If that's all, I believe Uncle Ping will help." Gu Yanqing looked confident.

"Really?"

Jiang Jiang's brows lit up with joy, and she immediately moved closer to Gu Yanqing, gently nudging his chest with her shoulder.

Well, it’s still very hard.

"I knew that you have a good relationship with Uncle Ping! Then I'll leave this matter to you!" Jiang Jiang turned her face to the side and winked at Gu Yanqing mischievously.

Gu Yanqing nodded, then casually said, "Now that we have the warehouse, when will you start receiving the goods? Do we have to wait until June?"

"This..." Jiang Jiang hesitated for a moment.

She didn't know much about doing business. There was indeed a lot of cotton in stock in the capital, but it was also sold in small quantities.

After entering April, the weather gradually warms up, and in May and June it will enter the rainy season, when the air humidity will increase...

"Let's start buying now, starting with goods worth around 1,000 taels!"

It was Jiang Jiang's first time doing business and he had to put all his belongings into it. He was actually a little nervous, but also a little excited.

"This is one hundred taels."

Jiang Jiang handed a silver note of one hundred taels to Gu Yanqing. "You want to help me contact the seller? Please pay a deposit first. I don't have that much money on me today. Oh, and as for the work at the bookstore, I'll talk to Uncle Ping and I'll give you the salary for this month."

She was poaching so openly, I wonder if Uncle Ping would be angry? What if he got angry and stopped renting her the warehouse?

Jiang Jiang was just thinking about how to resolve the situation peacefully with Uncle Ping when she heard Gu Yanqing's voice: "Don't worry about the bookstore. I'll talk to Uncle Ping. He's a very easy-going person and won't make things difficult for me. Besides, I'll be staying at the bookstore temporarily and can help you look after the warehouse."

When Jiang Jiang heard Gu Yanqing's words, she felt relieved and suddenly had a great liking for the people of Hezhou.

Hezhou is indeed a place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

Come to think of it, Gu Yanqing and Gu Yanhuan also seem to be... from Hezhou?
