A fast-paced transmigration story set in a historical fiction era: The fox spirit is enjoying happin

Shen Mingrong sat on the bed, his back to Li Jiaojiao and Xiao Liu, without saying a word.

Shen Mingrong remained silent for a long time before speaking while Li Jiaojiao was packing her clothes.

"Xiao Liu, call this number and have someone take her home."

Xiao Liu took a card from his hand: "Looking for Brother Qiu?"

In his memory, Brother Qiu was an extremely busy person.

Shen Mingrong calculated the time; these few days were the days when A Qiu was going to the city to ship the goods.

"Okay, call him. He's free these days."

Just as Xiao Liu was about to leave, he called her back.

"Accompany her to buy tickets, then call Jianzai to find someone to take her back to the village."

Xiao Liu nodded and went out to call Brother Qiu.

Li Jiaojiao kicked Shen Mingrong's bed leg hard, clearly angry.

"You just want me to leave, don't you?"

Shen Mingrong turned to her: "No, you were the one who said you were leaving."

Li Jiaojiao was even angrier: "Then why don't you just beg me not to leave?"

"Please don't go..." Shen Mingrong blurted out as if it were a natural progression: "If I told you, would you stay?"

"No, I'm leaving!" Li Jiaojiao said angrily.

Shen Mingrong had no answer and simply remained silent.

Tuotuo: Oh ho, it seems like the host is being unreasonable?

The two started another cold war, but this was only on Li Jiaojiao's side.

When Xiao Liu came back, he brought A Qiu with him.

When he called A-Qiu, he told him about Shen Mingrong's situation, and A-Qiu immediately said he would come to the hospital to see Shen Mingrong.

"Brother Rong...which bastard has done this to you?" As soon as A Qiu came in, he saw that his eyes were covered with a white cloth.

Ah Qiu covered his head with both hands; he was completely devastated.

Xiao Liu quickly went to help him up, afraid he might fall on flat ground: "Brother Qiu, Brother Qiu, the doctor said he can recover."

"Restore my ass! It'll never be the same again!" A-Qiu said angrily. "Which bastard did this? I'm going back to town right now to get revenge!"

Only the injured person remained calm in the ward.

Li Jiaojiao stared blankly at the person who had come in shouting.

Shen Mingrong said calmly, "Help him to sit on your bed. We haven't found him yet; it's just a few families. We'll talk about that later."

Ah Qiu was still indignant: "Xiao Liu, what kind of good-for-nothings are you left in town? How come you weren't injured but Brother Rong was?"

Xiao Liu opened his mouth but didn't say anything; he really shouldn't have done that.

"Alright, why are you talking about them?" Shen Mingrong interrupted him, "How's the matter at the provincial level going?"

"It's alright, there are still a few things we haven't reached an agreement on, but the factory matter can be taken care of immediately."

Ah Qiu thought to himself, "Why is he still worrying about those things? Doesn't he think about his health?"

Shen Mingrong didn't rush him: "Send Jiaojiao back tomorrow."

Jiaojiao? Aqiu raised an eyebrow. Why the change in address? Before, he would either call Shen Ajiao by her full name or simply "she".

The sudden use of such intimate terms is definitely suspicious.

He knew the two were not siblings, and that Shen Mingrong was still a virgin bachelor.

When Aqiu looked up, he suddenly realized that Shen Ajiao had become even more beautiful!

He'll only be gone for a month, right?

Is it really as the book says, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after thirty days of separation"?

Shen Ajiao was very beautiful before, like a beauty in a calendar illustration, but now she looks like a stunningly beautiful superstar in a TVB Jade drama.

Ah Qiu's face lit up with joy: "It's certainly my honor to be able to escort Jiao Jiao back."

Li Jiaojiao was still a little confused. Huh? Her expression changed so quickly?

Shen Mingrong got up, found the direction of the voice, and slapped him.

"Oh, Rong-ge, can't you see?" A-Qiu's face turned into a mask of pain.

Who knows the weight of that palm strike just now?

Shen Mingrong said coldly, "I'm blind, not deaf. Speak properly."

Xiao Liu stood to the side with his head down, pretending nothing had happened.

He forgot to tell Brother Qiu that Brother Mingrong doesn't even need to be fed; he can eat by himself.

Xiao Liu once tried eating with his eyes closed, and bit his tongue in one bite.

Since that incident, his admiration for Shen Mingrong has evolved into a belief. He truly deserves to be called his older brother; no matter what, he's amazing.

Aqiu pulled Xiaoliu outside the ward to talk about Shen Mingrong being ambushed.

A Qiu was arranged by Shen Mingrong to come to the provincial capital to find low-priced goods and, incidentally, develop his network of contacts.

They originally planned to open their own factory after the hardware factory in Heping Village was successfully built, put into operation, and started making a profit.

However, it wasn't a hardware factory, but a food and beverage processing business.

"Brother Rong, I'm leaving now. I have a dinner appointment at 12 o'clock. I'll come over to your place if I'm free," A Qiu said before leaving.

He had made plans with someone that morning, but he canceled them immediately after hearing Xiao Liu's call and rushed to the hospital.

Since Rong Ge could still hit him just now, A Qiu has relaxed a lot.

"You want to open a factory?" Li Jiaojiao was so eager to make money that she forgot about the cold war.

"Mm," Shen Mingrong nodded.

Li Jiaojiao sat down next to him: "I want to join too. How much money do I need to invest? I want to invest too!"

Starting a factory requires a lot of money, she estimated the original owner's savings.

“You’ll get your share, without having to pay for it,” Shen Mingrong said succinctly.

Li Jiaojiao was thinking that if they argued in the future, wouldn't her money just disappear?

Li Jiaojiao shook her head violently: "No, I have to invest money. If I invest money, I'll have my own share of the factory's profits."

Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it's yours.

Li Jiaojiao: My money is my money, and your money can be mine or yours.

Shen Mingrong said helplessly, "Our relationship doesn't need to talk about money. What I have, you will have too."

"Hey, hey, let's get this straight, we don't have a relationship where we don't talk about money."

Li Jiaojiao immediately moved her buttocks.

You were the one who first tried to create distance and draw the 38th parallel; now you want her to cross that line herself? Absolutely not!

Shen Mingrong shook his head helplessly: "Whatever."

He was truly out of options; at most, he could ask her to pay less money and take a larger share.

After lunch, Li Jiaojiao took a taxi to the electronics market.

Yesterday at the arcade, she saw several machines with signs advertising the sale of used arcade machines.

The address is in the electronics market not far away.

"Boss, how much for a used arcade machine?"

The arcade shop wasn't big, and there was no one else inside except the owner, who was repairing something.

"Used arcade machines aren't cheap either."

The shopkeeper turned around and saw that it was a woman asking the question, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Arcade machines are so expensive that ordinary people can't afford them.

Li Jiaojiao walked into the store and looked at the arcade machines on display.

"How much does it cost to quickly defeat this dinosaur?"

This time, the boss didn't even turn his head: "6300 yuan."

Dinosaur Fighter is a new game this year, featuring both male and female characters, and can be played by up to three people. It became very popular as soon as it was released.

He's incredibly lucky to have managed to buy this machine; the original import price would have been over ten thousand yuan.

The original owner had only about eight thousand yuan in working capital, including the small shop's cash flow.

This arcade machine would definitely attract customers if placed in a convenience store.

Li Jiaojiao considered for a moment: "Boss, how much would it cost if we wanted both of these older models together?"

The boss turned around and gave her a serious look: "What do you do? Let's round it down to 7000 yuan for both of them."

Li Jiaojiao, who runs a small shop, carefully examined the old machine.

She thought for a moment: "6500 yuan. If you agree, I'll go get the money now."

The boss walked up to her: "Really?"

The boss really wanted to sell it. He wouldn't make much money from 6500 yuan, but keeping this item in his hands would cause it to depreciate.

“Really,” Li Jiaojiao said, “I still need to find a truck.”

The shop owner's face lit up: "6500 yuan is fine too. Let me tell you about these two machines."

The owner explained clearly how the arcade machine was retrieved, what parts it had been repaired, and how to repair it if problems arise again.

"Here's a 100 yuan deposit. I'll come back later to pay the full amount and take it away."

Li Jiaojiao slipped 100 yuan to the shopkeeper.

The boss saw her off with utmost respect, his smile never fading.

Xiao Liu came with her, but they parted ways because he needed to use the restroom urgently.

When Xiao Liu arrived, Li Jiaojiao was standing at the door waiting for him.

"Let's go to the square and find a truck for hauling goods."

Xiao Liu looked bewildered: "Aren't we going to buy train tickets?"

"I bought two arcade machines; I'm going to take them back to my village."

Li Jiaojiao's expression remained calm, as if she were only talking about a trivial matter.

Xiao Liu's lips trembled slightly: "How much...how much does an arcade machine cost?"

Is this little rascal planning to buy it and play with it himself?

No way! If Mingrong knew that he took his little darling to the arcade for a while and then came to buy arcade games...

He's afraid of getting beaten up; everyone knows Mingrong's fists are ridiculously hard.

Li Jiaojiao mumbled, "A few thousand yuan, not very expensive."

"Hehe...hehe, whatever makes you happy," Xiao Liu forced a smile that was both crying and laughing.

Li Jiaojiao mentally calculated how long it would take to break even, estimating it would take about a year, based on the experience of arcades.

How much do the game tokens cost at the arcades in town?

Xiao Liu thought for a long time because he rarely gave money.

"It's a little cheaper than in the provincial capital, but not by much."

So many people ask him to play arcade games that he never looks at the prices when he enters an arcade; he just walks up to a machine and starts playing.

Li Jiaojiao: "Then I'll go check out the arcade in town when I get back."

"If you're going, please be sure to invite Jianzi or someone else along," Xiao Liu said earnestly, he was genuinely scared.

Women don't usually go to arcades alone.

It's a chaotic and murky place, a melting pot of all sorts of people, where you could easily run into someone like Qiao Dong with ill intentions.

Shen Mingrong also felt that the arcades were too chaotic, so he wouldn't let Shen Ajiao go there.

"Brother Qiu knows some reliable truck drivers," Xiao Liu called out to her. "Don't go looking for those drivers outside; they might rip you off and swindle your goods."

Xiao Liu found a phone booth by the roadside and called Brother Qiu.

The arrangements were made quickly, and the two returned to the electronics market.

"Xiao Liu, go test the arcade machine to see if it's working properly."

The boss quickly connected the power and let them test it: "Don't worry, don't worry, this will definitely work. If it doesn't, come find me."

Qian Sanqiang has always been a man of integrity.

After the car arrived, Li Jiaojiao paid the fare.

Xiao Liu followed her the whole time and saw her count dozens of large red bills.

"Sister Jiaojiao, why are you carrying so much money with you?"

Li Jiaojiao looked at him, puzzled: "Is this a lot?"

"Too much, far too much!" Xiao Liu exclaimed, speechless with shock. "If I'd known you had so much money, I would have followed you even if I'd stuffed it in my pocket."

He was relieved that she wasn't robbed while he was in the restroom.

"Actually... there's no need for that," Li Jiaojiao laughed it off. She couldn't very well say that the money was in her spatial dimension and no one could take it away.

She would never say that she didn't want to be followed by someone pulling her pants because she thought it was like a horror movie.

The trucks don't leave immediately after being loaded with goods; they don't depart until the afternoon of the following day.

Buying tickets was a leisurely affair; there was no rush since there was plenty of time.

When Xiao Liu met Shen Mingrong, he brought up this matter.

He was initially annoyed, then disgusted, and finally resigned to accepting reality.

It's not impossible to make money by putting this arcade machine in a convenience store.

Soon, once the hardware factory in Heping Village starts operating, and their food factory starts operating as well, the number of people around will increase, and her small shop will not lack staff.

Li Jiaojiao returned a little late; she went to the hospital's convenience store for a while.

"The items in the hospital convenience store are really expensive."

A regular bottle of mineral water costs 1 yuan, and most drinks cost 1.5 yuan or more.

You should know that the drinks in her shop start at 3 cents.

"How many people are there?" Shen Mingrong asked.

"So many people, you even have to queue to pay." She bought some snacks to eat on the train tomorrow: "Like pigs lining up to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse."

"That description..." Shen Mingrong smiled, "...indicates that others have a positional advantage."

When the topic turned to location advantages, she became enthusiastic: "The factory is going to be built in the village, right? You'd better build it close to the convenience store, preferably with the main gate facing the store's door."

That way, people can come to the convenience store as soon as they get off work.

“Okay,” Shen Mingrong thought for a moment. The open space at the entrance of the village was not wasteland, and the land rent should be quite high.

However, Jin Youde was so envious of the new hardware factory in the neighboring Heping Village that he was practically envious.

Once the hardware factory provides more incentives, reducing the land rent shouldn't be a problem.

"Are you planning to build factory dormitories then?"

Li Jiaojiao thought that if they set up a factory, she wouldn't have to go to the town to buy land and build rental houses for the time being, since she really didn't have much money left.

"Factory dormitory?" Shen Mingrong asked, somewhat puzzled.

Li Jiaojiao: "I also saw it in the newspaper, saying that the factories in Pengcheng have collective dormitories, so they have recruited a lot of people from other places."

Shen Mingrong wanted to start a factory by learning from others, and he had never heard of factory dormitories before, but factories in Pengcheng were well-known far and wide.

There wasn't a single factory there that lost money; they were all making a profit.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough money to open a factory in Shenzhen right now.

"I'll have someone inquire first, but I haven't heard much about it," Shen Mingrong said, not giving an immediate answer.

Li Jiaojiao wasn't worried, because her success in the previous small world told her that the opportunities of this era would continue for decades to come.

The previous small world was developing faster in the provincial capital, and the demand for dormitories could not meet the supply.

It's normal that this little world is developing slowly in a small southern town; otherwise, she wouldn't even have a chance to have a taste of the good life.

After she paid the medical bills, Shen Mingrong's treatment plan was quickly finalized.

She accompanied Shen Mingrong to the doctor, and the day passed quickly.

The next morning, Ah Qiu came to the hospital to wait for Li Jiaojiao.

Shen Mingrong: "Take her home, and call me when you get there."

Ah Qiu placed his eldest mobile phone in the hospital room.
