The stall owner was speechless.

However, Li Mingde’s lungs exploded with anger. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Sheng Yang shrugged and raised her fair chin slightly. “Why don’t you ask him if I wrote it correctly?”

The stall owner was too lazy to say anything else. He handed the book to Sheng Yang and used his actions to prove everything.

He had fallen at this young lady’s hands today.

Sheng Yang also handed the stall owner a card. “200,000.”

This book was definitely worth 200,000 yuan. It was completely priceless.

The stall owner was stunned. “What are you doing? I didn’t tell you how much this book costs. Actually, I just need to find the fated person for this book. It won’t be a problem even if I give it to you for free.”

Sheng Yang glanced at Li Mingde. “I’m not short of money.”

Li Mingde was on fire. ‘She’s deliberately humiliating me, isn’t she?’

The stall owner was amused. “Alright, I’ll take the card. Little girl, what’s your name?”

He found the girl extremely interesting.

“Sheng Yang.”

When Li Mingde heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he immediately examined the girl beside him.

So, she was Sheng Yang? She was the person recommended by Zhao Caihua, and Jin Lu even compared her to Teng Hua. Was she worthy?

Seeing that the deal had been struck, Li Mingde suddenly said, “Wait a minute.”

The stall owner did not understand.

Li Mingde signaled him to step aside.

Soon, a rather greasy-looking middle-aged man rushed over. Many of the vendors recognized him. He was the manager of this street, and everyone called him ‘Uncle You Tiao’.

He was dressed in a suit and wasn’t all that tall. The collar of his jacket was turned slightly outward. His hair was combed until it was glossy against his scalp. He wore light-rimmed glasses.

“Dean Li…” He was out of breath, but he greeted Li Mingde first.

“Mhm.” Li Mingde nodded and pointed to the stall he was at. “I’m just here to buy some books. I didn’t expect it to be so difficult. I came first, but the other party didn’t sell it to me. He even said that he wanted to find a fated person for the book to deliberately make things difficult for me. Is this the rule in your area?”

The stall owner frowned. At this moment, his temper was ignited. “It was clearly this young lady who came first.”

“Heh.” Li Mingde rolled his eyes and sneered. “Don’t you know the virtue of our country?”

Sheng Yang said, “There are indeed people who take advantage of their seniority.”

Uncle You Tiao could not afford to offend Li Mingde. His wife was still in Mingde Hospital and was relying on the doctors there to survive. He put on a dignified expression and placed his hands on his hips. His movements were so big that his hair stuck to his body. “Little Wang, what’s wrong with you? Do you still want to set up a stall here?”

Seeing that the two of them were in cahoots, the stall owner immediately felt that it was very interesting. “At most, I won’t set up my stall here anymore. I won’t be angered by this.”

“Why not?” Sheng Yang stared at the stall owner, but her eyes were silently domineering.

It just so happened that Shengrui was going to expand to this area recently. She was just preparing to speed up this matter. After buying this street, she would directly swap the positions of manager and stall owner for these two people.

At this moment, Sheng Yang suddenly heard something. She turned around and saw the smiling old man from before standing not far away.

He seemed to have witnessed everything and was furious. He suddenly threw away his walking cane and walked over in a hurry. He didn’t look as weak and helpless as when he bumped into Sheng Yang in the morning.
