610 That Depends on Whether They Can Take a Beating
The male owner’s name was Mao Dayou. He was considered an old man in the market.
Those who were familiar with him basically called him the Ruxian.
The reason why he had such a nickname was not because of his surname.
It was because of his personality, which was similar to the Ruxias.
He was a little fierce.
“Of course. I’ve been selling vegetables in this market for more than ten years. If I were still unable to do even this, wouldn’t I have wasted my time?”
“Brother Mao, you’re so bold. I wouldn’t dare to sell it.”
The person who spoke was the middle-aged woman next door. As she munched on melon seeds, she said,
“When the two of them go back and find that there are rotten vegetables hidden below, won’t they come back to look for you?”
“That’s impossible. Don’t worry.” Mao Dayou said.
“Look at the two of them. One look and you can tell that they’re a couple who just came out to do business. They don’t know anything. How can they have the cheek to look for me?”
“Don’t say that. What if they come looking for you?”
“So be it.” Mao Dayou stubbed out his cigarette and said.
“I’ve been keeping watch here all night. My wife will be taking over later. They won’t be able to find me even if they come. Moreover, there are no surveillance cameras around. Who can prove that they bought it from me? Perhaps they switched it themselves and are deliberately trying to extort me.”
“Haha, this move is really amazing.”
“I’m telling you, when you’re doing business, you have to keep your eyes open. If you meet people with scars and tattoos all over their bodies, don’t provoke them. Give them something good. If you meet newbies like those just now, then it’s open season.” Mao Dayou said confidently.
“When an elementary scholar meets a soldier, he has no room for negotiation.”
“It’s mainly because we’re not as bold as you.”
“If you don’t even have the guts, don’t even think about getting rich in the future.”
At this moment, the two helpers who delivered the goods returned.
“Brother Mao, everything has been delivered.”
“What did they drive, a van or a pickup truck?”
“Nothing. They rode a tricycle here,” the helper said with a smile.
“Ah? They came to buy goods on a tricycle? I still have a lousy Accord.”
“Moreover, the tricycle is pink. This doesn’t look like someone who does business. I think that in a few days, the couple will close down shop.”
“I think so too.”
“Old Ruxian, you hit the nail on the head. They rode a three-wheeled motorcycle to come stock up. I reckon that these two people don’t have much ability.”
Because the car was full of things, Lin Yi asked Ji Qingyan to take a taxi back.
There was no place for her to sit in the back.
By the time Lin Yi rode the tricycle back, Ji Qingyan was already waiting at the door.
“Go inside. Don’t just stand there.”
“I’ll help you carry your things.”
“These things are quite heavy. I can do it myself. Go inside and rest.”
“I know you can do it yourself, but it’s ceremonial for two people to carry it.”
“What does this have to do with ceremonies?”
“This shows how difficult it is to be a young entrepreneur, so two people have to carry the things together.”
“Have you been watching too many TV dramas?”
“What does this have to do with television? Isn’t life like this? Two people working hard together.”
“But do you see any man who lets his woman work when he can do it himself?”
She pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes filled with bliss.
“Then I’ll help you arrange the goods. I guarantee they’ll be neatly organized.”
“Alright, let’s go to the kitchen.”
“Okay.”
Looking at Ji Qingyan’s back, Lin Yi suddenly felt that this kind of life was pretty good.
At the very least, he was happy and rich.
Lin Yi carried the two bags to the kitchen.
The rest of the matters were left to Ji Qingyan.
There were still a few bags on the tricycle. Lin Yi estimated that he had to make two trips before he could bring them all in.
“Lin Yi! Lin Yi!”
Lin Yi had just picked up two bags of goods when he heard Ji Qingyan calling his name from inside the house.
Lin Yi was shocked. He put down the goods in his hand and hurriedly ran in.
“What happened?”
“Come and take a look. There’s a lot of rotten vegetables down there.”
“Rotten vegetables?”
Lin Yi jogged to the kitchen and found Ji Qingyan dividing the newly bought carrots into two portions.
“We were wrong. The top layer is good, but the vegetables below are almost all rotten.”
Lin Yi looked at the rotten pile and realized that every carrot had a hard wound, even if it could still be eaten after being peeled.
However, he had clearly been tricked.
“Don’t be anxious. Take out the other goods and inspect them.”
“Okay.”
Lin Yi brought in the rest of the ingredients from the tricycle while Ji Qingyan was in charge of unpacking and inspecting the goods.
The result was as the two of them had expected. Almost every bag of vegetables was good on top, but the vegetables below were rotten to varying degrees.
“That person is too much. He actually sold all the rotten vegetables to us.”
Even though it didn’t cost much, she was still furious.
Whether it was when she was in school or in business, no one had dared to fool her like this.
“I’ll call the company’s legal department and give them a lawyer’s letter.”
Lin Yi laughed out loud.
“What are you laughing at? We’ve been tricked, but we can’t go through legal procedures.”
“It’s only about 400 yuan in total. It’s not even enough to pay for the judge’s gas.”
“Are we just going to let it go?”
“You’re thinking like a businessman. If it were an ordinary person, who would subpoena them?”
“So, what do you want to do?”
“Of course I’m going to go look for them. The matters of the common people have to be resolved in the way of the common people.”
“But we’ve already brought it back. What if they don’t admit to it?”
Just as Lin Yi had said, Ji Qingyan’s logical thinking was still that of a traditional businessman.
As long as the contract was signed, the deal would be completed. Even if they discovered something fishy later, there was nothing they could do.
Because of this, she didn’t know what to do.
“That depends on whether they can take a beating.”
Then, Lin Yi called Wang Tianlong and asked him to drive a truck over and bring back all the vegetables he bought.
During this process, Lin Yi finally understood that differences between professions were like the gaps between mountains.
If Wang Tianlong was here, this wouldn’t have happened.
All these years, he had only been trying to trick others. He did not expect that he would be tricked by others when he went to the market.
His reputation had been ruined.
When they arrived at the market, Lin Yi was calm, but Ji Qingyan was furious.
Seeing Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan walk over, the other shop owners stuck their heads out and guessed what was going on.
Mao Dayou had sold rotten vegetables to someone else, and the couple had come knocking on his door.
However, Mao Dayou had already left. It was his wife who was looking after the stall.
Moreover, his wife was a shrewish and unreasonable person. This young couple would probably be scolded badly and have to leave dejectedly.
The two of them ignored the strange gazes of the others and arrived at the stall. To their surprise, the owner had changed.
In addition to the two helpers, a slovenly middle-aged woman sat in front of the stall.
The woman had a tanned face and wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a pair of black jeans and military hiking shoes. She looked like a woman raised on the streets.
The woman’s name was Wang Fang. She was Mao Dayou’s wife.
“Hm? Why has the boss changed?” Ji Qingyan asked.
The middle-aged woman looked up at Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan.
He immediately guessed their identities and knew why they were here.
“What change? I’m the only boss here. There hasn’t been any change,” Wang Fang said without looking up or opening her eyes.
