Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

Chapter 122 Buying and Selling

Everyone was busy preparing this meal for a long time, but it was finished in just a few minutes.

During this time, Feng Qingqing glanced at Lü Yulan a few times and saw her eating with great gusto. Although she was a female educated youth, her appetite was not much smaller than that of the male educated youth.

Seeing this, Feng Qingqing sneered inwardly. "Eat up. It's not exactly the last supper, but it's not far off."

Feng Qingqing glanced at Jiang Yun again. She was surprised to find that Jiang Yun also wore a thick cloth over her face while eating, which made her eat very slowly. However, Feng Qingqing had grown up with her since childhood and knew her to some extent.

At this moment, she still approved of Hu Fangming. Although Jiang Yun seemed calm and collected, as if the matter was over, Feng Qingqing could see the madness and recklessness in Jiang Yun's calm eyes. It seemed that she should pay more attention to her during this period, wondering what kind of trouble she would cause this time.

In the end, all the large bowls of food were eaten clean, and everyone who was full was in a good mood. Some of them even started chatting and laughing.

Feng Qingqing enjoyed the meal. After finishing, she looked at the sky and realized it was getting late, so she said goodbye to everyone. They knew she was a young girl and it wasn't safe for her after dark, so they didn't say anything and went back after saying hello.

On the way back, Feng Qingqing was in a good mood. Everything went smoothly tonight, and she just needed to wait for the results at home.

When she returned to the clinic, it was completely dark. She opened the courtyard gate, went inside, locked the gate from the inside, and then opened the door to the house.

After entering, I sat down on a stool to rest for a while, my mind constantly replaying the faces of the people I had dinner with: Lü Yulan, Jiang Yun, Jiang Hongwei, Lai Heping, and Jiang Hongjun, who had been silent in the room the whole time.

After thinking for a while, Feng Qingqing shook her head slightly. She would deal with whatever came her way and just wait and see. These people would make some trouble sooner or later, and she was waiting for that day.

Feng Qingqing immediately thought of He Yong'an, wondering if his trip there had gone smoothly.

He Yong'an, who was being nagged by Feng Qingqing, was having a hard time. He had set off for the county early yesterday morning and hadn't gone anywhere else, heading straight for the lumber mill where Sun Tianming worked.

Because the lumber mill was located on the edge of the county town near the mountainside, He Yong'an spent a lot of time searching for a better view before finally deciding to climb a tree to keep an eye on Sun Tianming.

He Yong'an arrived relatively early, and after he had settled in, he saw the people working at the lumber mill gradually arriving.

He Yong'an didn't know these people. He just wanted to observe Sun Tianming, but he didn't see Sun Tianming by noon. He Yong'an was a little puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he thought that Sun Tianming might be working the night shift.

He hadn't prepared anything since he came in the morning, and he'd already finished his steamed buns. To make things easier, He Yong'an climbed down from the tree and quickly went to the nearest state-run restaurant. He bought ten steamed buns and filled his water bottle with cold water. Then he sped off to the lumber mill.

He now has a clear understanding of the surrounding environment of the lumber mill and knows that not many people live around here. Apart from those living in the factory dormitory, most of the other people will return to the county to live in the morning and evening.

After making preparations, He Yong'an stayed until evening. He saw many employees leaving the lumber mill one after another after get off work.

But at that moment, He Yong'an saw a person walking in the opposite direction. He wondered what this person was doing at the factory at this time. From a distance, He Yong'an felt that the person looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was none other than Sun Tianming.

This person probably doesn't know that his secret base has been raided; judging from his smug, unsteady gait, he's in a good mood.

Upon seeing this, He Yong'an could only sneer inwardly, wondering if he could still laugh now that he knew his savings were gone.

He Yong'an wasn't wrong; Sun Tianming was in a good mood. And it wasn't just today; he'd been in a good mood for the past few days.

He felt that his luck had recently turned around and his life was about to take off.

Sun Tianming only got a job at this timber factory by pulling strings and spending money. He was a temporary worker, and his wages were low and his working hours were long, which made him depressed for a long time.

Recently, for some reason, a colleague in his workshop suddenly approached him and said that he saw he was doing well recently and wanted to transfer him to the night shift. The night shift not only has fewer people and less work, but also a night shift allowance, and the monthly salary would be a few yuan higher.

Sun Tianming agreed immediately, after all, a few yuan was a lot of money, and it didn't matter whether he worked day or night.

To his surprise, on the second day, he noticed something was amiss. The man who had asked him to work the night shift seemed to be reselling timber from the factory at night. He was shocked when he discovered this and considered reporting it to the factory leadership, but he also felt it was an opportunity for him. Just as he was hesitating, he heard the man say:

“Tianming, we’re friends, I can’t cheat you. Do you think anyone working in this lumber mill is innocent? You just don’t know it. Look at this mountain, it’s truly inexhaustible. Don’t worry, it’s just the two of us who know, it’s fine.”

Sun Tianming earned thirty yuan on his first try. Although he was trembling with fear for the next two days, he found that nothing was wrong after a few days, so he became bolder and started doing it once every three to five days, and now once every one or two days.

Sure enough, he saved several hundred yuan in no time. This amount of money was an astronomical figure for him before. He never expected that he would save so much in just a few days after starting to work the night shift.

Sun Tianming was feeling quite pleased with himself, unaware that danger was creeping closer and closer to him.

That night, Sun Tianming, as usual, was in charge of arranging the loading and transportation of the two trucks. When he was about to board the trucks for his routine inspection, Li Zhengshun, smiling, grabbed him and said:

"Hey bro, let's go grab a couple of drinks. I bought some really good food and drinks today. What's so interesting about this thing? It's the same every day, isn't it?"

Sun Tianming, who had just taken two steps, paused, his face showing slight hesitation. When he first joined the factory, even as a temporary worker, he was repeatedly instructed on the factory rules, especially in the transportation and shipping department. He had to personally inspect the goods before signing off on them; otherwise, he would be held responsible if anything went wrong.

Sun Tianming was uneasy, still worried about potential mistakes, and insisted:

"Brother Li, wait a few minutes for me, I'll be right back."

Li Zhengshun's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said:

"You'd better hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

Sun Tianming readily agreed, but quickened his pace considerably. After getting into the truck, he quickly checked the materials and found that they matched the materials confirmed for shipment that day. Without further inspection, he jumped off the truck.

Seeing this, Li Zhengshun's expression finally softened, and he shouted loudly again:

"Hurry up, brother, or the food will get cold."
