At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still dimly lit.
Jiang Li lay on the bed, her body aching and drowsy, but a deep-seated consciousness reminded her that she should get up and exercise.
Jiang Li forced herself to sit up and wandered to the bathroom like a female ghost, where she mechanically began to wash up.
The moment the cold water hit her face, the icy sensation sent a shiver down Jiang Li's spine and invigorated her.
After breakfast, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo took Pudding for a morning run.
The two returned without going upstairs; instead, they drove directly to the largest fresh produce wholesale market.
The wholesale market had already been taken over by early-rising grandparents, making Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo, two young people, stand out.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo ignored the stares of the grandparents and strode into the queue for vegetables.
They ordered 1,000 jin each of cauliflower, tomatoes, eggplants, pumpkins, leafy greens, radishes, yams, peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.
We ordered 100 jin of seasonings such as ginger, garlic, scallions, and cilantro.
There are seeds in Jiang Li's space; if needed, you can grow them yourself for consumption. In particular, potatoes, sweet potatoes, ginger, and garlic are all very easy to grow and germinate.
The two loaded the items into the car, then stored them in a secluded corner before heading to the fruit section.
They ordered 500 jin each of apples, peaches, watermelons, pomegranates, oranges, pomelos, mangosteens, bananas, and grapes.
Jiang Li also bought over a hundred boxes of durians, which are her absolute favorite.
Ye Jingmo pursed his lips, silently took a step back, and turned his head to the side.
His entire body showed signs of resistance.
Why does the fruit durian exist in the world?
Jiang Li chuckled and immediately found a corner to put all the fruit into her space. When putting the durian in, she made sure to cover it completely with a plastic bag to prevent other items from picking up the smell.
The two then went to the last stop of the fresh produce wholesale market—the fresh produce section.
The sounds of cleavers chopping meat filled the air, mingled with shouts of vendors and conversations.
Pork, beef, lamb, fish, shrimp, crab, shellfish, chicken, duck, goose...
Jiang Li bought 5,000 jin of each, since both the person and the dog in the family are carnivores, so they naturally needed to prepare more.
Jiang Li received a call from the saleswoman right after she finished shopping.
A client has taken a liking to Jiang Li's house and wants to see what it actually looks like.
Jiang Li asked the saleswoman to wait for about ten minutes, then rushed back immediately.
The client was very satisfied with Jiang Li's house and signed the contract on the spot, giving Jiang Li a week to move in. After that, the client paid the full purchase price of three million.
The saleswoman was very happy to have closed the deal. Before leaving, she assured Jiang Li that she would find the house she wanted as soon as possible.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo escorted the female salesperson and her client down the elevator. Just then, the door near the elevator opened.
With wavy hair, an oval face, and dressed in a beige outfit, Liu Xueyi peeked out with a gentle smile.
"Xiao Li, I've noticed you've been going out early and coming home late lately. Are you dating someone?" Liu Xueyi asked in a sweet, coquettish voice.
"Now that he's even sold his house, looks like he's a golden bachelor. Don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet, then Jingmo won't have to worry about your marriage anymore."
Liu Xueyi spoke of Jiang Li, but her eyes were slightly turned towards Ye Jingmo, her eyes sending him a flirtatious glance.
Unfortunately, Ye Jingmo didn't even glance at her.
Jiang Li curled her lip slightly, disdainfully, and actually brewed a pot of fine tea.
Her recent long hours and early departures suggest she's been out fooling around, and the mention of selling her house and finding a wealthy husband implies she's vain.
This is an attempt to put a bad impression on her in front of Ye Jingmo.
If it were Jiang Li from her previous life, she would definitely think that Liu Xueyi was simply unaware of the situation and would have quickly offered an explanation.
In this life, Jiang Li certainly knew how to answer in a way that would upset Liu Xueyi.
"Sister Liu is just joking. Who can spoil me and love me more than Brother Mo? It's just that the neighborhood is too old, so Brother Mo and I are planning to buy a new house and sold this one."
"How can I compare to Sister Liu? She has a lot of admirers and suitors coming to her door every day."
Jiang Li's witty remarks made Liu Xueyi want to grind her teeth to dust.
Why is it that Jiang Li has such a high-quality man like Ye Jingmo by her side, while all the people around her are ugly and unattractive?
Liu Xueyi believed that she was much prettier than Jiang Li, so why did Ye Jingmo refuse to even glance at her, and not even acknowledge her when she greeted him on the street?
"I guessed wrong, I'm sorry."
Liu Xueyi looked embarrassed and then immediately closed the door.
The next second, her face contorted like a demon, and she kicked the Papillon that was surrounding her.
The Papillon whimpered in pain and immediately ran to a corner to hide.
Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo didn't have time to pay attention to Liu Xueyi's thoughts. They had a simple lunch at home and then prepared to go out again.
The pharmaceutical company's sales manager texted Ye Jingmo to say that the items had been prepared and were ready for her to deliver whenever it was convenient for her.
Upon arrival at the designated location, a truck specifically for transporting medicines was already parked at the entrance.
The sales manager came down with a smile and said, "Mr. Ye, you need a lot of different kinds of medicines, so I had to get them from another company, which is why you had to wait so long."
"It's alright, thank you for your help this time."
In addition to medicines, Ye Jingmo also purchased some vaccines and injectable drugs that might be needed, all of which require refrigeration to maintain temperature.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, deworming drugs, cold medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, painkillers, masks, protective clothing, isolation gowns...
Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li categorized the medicines and placed them in a special medicine box, with each box labeled with the type of medicine.
Medicines that need to be refrigerated should be placed in an insulated box and then put into the space.
After the medicines were handed over, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo drove to a private coal mine.
Although the weather is still very hot now, Jiang Li knows that extremely cold weather will come in the future, and coal is an essential resource for heating.
However, they live in the south, where few people burn coal in winter, and coal resources are also scarce.
Ye Jingmo had to ask many people before he learned that there was a private coal mine in a neighboring city.
Legitimate coal mines do not sell coal to individuals; only unlicensed private coal mines sell coal to individuals.
Private coal mines may offer lower prices, but there is a risk of them cheating you out of your money.
Ye Jingmo drove along the highway, following the navigation to the address of the coal mine.
Jiang Li looked out the window as the lights dimmed and the shadows of the trees grew thick, accompanied by the excited chirping of insects.
After driving for three hours, Jiang Li finally saw a two-story cement building at the end of the road.
The exterior walls of the house, which should have been white, were stained with black coal dust. There were several crooked trees in front of the house, and a few lanterns hung in front of the door, emitting a dim yellow light. Faded Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the door.
It's like a scene from a horror movie; most people would want to run away from this place immediately if they saw it.
Ye Jingmo parked the car and got out with Jiang Li. The two stood at the entrance of the coal mine.
Ye Jingmo lowered his eyebrows, his face full of defensiveness, and used his body to protect Jiang Li behind him before knocking on the door of the coal mine.
The door creaked open, and a middle-aged man with a slightly stubble-covered face and a muscular build poked his head out.
He cautiously scanned his surroundings, his whole body tense. Only when he saw that there were only two people and one car did he relax.
"What are you doing here?" the middle-aged man asked in a hoarse voice.
“We want to buy two truckloads of anthracite,” Ye Jingmo said.
"Two truckloads of anthracite coal, that's not cheap. And here, this amount wouldn't last for dozens of winters." The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, his eyes narrowed as he stared intently at him.
Most people would feel immense pressure and nervousness under such scrutiny.
Ye Jingmo said calmly, "I have my reasons for buying it, so I'm just asking if you can sell it to me."
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man burst out laughing. "Indeed, one shouldn't know too much in this line of work."
"You've ordered a lot of goods, so I need to prepare them."
"The transaction will take place here tomorrow. Ten million, remember to bring enough, I only want cash." After saying this, the middle-aged man immediately closed the door.
Jiang Li found this man strange, and after getting into the car, she couldn't help but say to Ye Jingmo, "Brother Mo, are you sure this boss won't double-cross us?"
"uncertain."
Jiang Li's pupils dilated instantly as she stared at Ye Jingmo in shock. Would her brother Mo do something he wasn't sure of?
Ye Jingmo looked at Jiang Li's expression and was amused. "Your brother isn't a god either. All I can say is that I will try my best to make thorough preparations."
"And if he's going to double-cross someone, it depends on who's going to double-cross whom."
Ye Jing's dark eyes were like a black pool, surging with dangerous signals. Coupled with his indifferent tone, Jiang Li felt a chill creep down her spine.
Forget it, it's not like Mo Ge will be the one who suffers anyway, why is she thinking so much?
