Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 228 Pinyin
The reason why Xu Huizhen did not recommend Chen Xueru to look for Ximen Lang was very simple.

"You know he has a very powerful background and is surrounded by many people who protect him, yet you still rush to force your way into his presence. Putting aside whether this will offend Brother Lang, let's just talk about the people around him."

"One by one, which one is simple? Which one can ordinary people like us afford to offend? Don't forget that we have just been warned by the white lady next to him."

"When I think back to that warning look, I still feel chills running down my spine. Aren't you afraid of offending them?"

Afraid, of course Chen Xueru is afraid!
But it was precisely because of her fear that she wanted to have a good relationship with Ximen Lang even more.

Because she is different from Xu Huizhen.

No matter how many faults Xu Huizhen has, at most they can only make a fuss about her background. You can't even catch her for shortchanging people on weights and measures, which is common among businessmen.

As for her, because her family ran a large silk shop, not only was her class background worse than Xu Huizhen's, she was also a real bourgeois and capitalist.

She even used all the dirty tricks commonly used by businessmen, without skipping a single one!

How can this be done?

Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal.

But the problem is that in addition to the things mentioned above, she also controls a smuggling channel!
Moreover, this smuggling channel was established together with the military attaché of the Russian Embassy!

This is really a matter of life and death!

Especially since they are smuggling such a large amount of goods now, if the news is leaked by accident, who will reveal it?
Even if you have ten lives, it’s not enough to be shot!
Even for this, she was shown mercy because she only smuggled daily necessities and objectively brought back a lot of good things for the world of Sijiu City, and didn't do other messy things!

Therefore, it is ten or even a hundred times more urgent than Xu Huizhen!
Ever since she became friends with the military attaché and established the smuggling channel, she had already started looking for a "protective umbrella" for herself.

But the same thing goes, she looks down on those with less energy, and those with greater energy look down on her.

It just dragged on like this, awkwardly.

But as time goes by, and the "business" grows bigger and bigger.

The longer it delayed, the more anxious Chen Xueru became, and the longer it delayed, the colder she felt!

It was not until the sudden appearance of the very easy-going and powerful Ximen Lang that Chen Xueru, who was almost in despair, finally saw the dawn of hope.

After all, even the people surrounding him and protecting him were all ruthless characters and powerful figures that he absolutely couldn't afford to offend! So, how powerful must Ximen Lang's background be to be carefully protected and surrounded by so many people?
In this situation, even if you directly tell him that he is the chief's biological son, Chen Xueru will believe it!

Anyway, ordinary high-ranking officials definitely don’t get the same treatment as him!

Therefore, even if it is just for the sake of her own life, she will never give up!
Chen Xueru said anxiously, as if she had finally grabbed the last straw.

"But we can't just sit there and wait and do nothing, right? What if Brother Lang forgets about us?"

As he was speaking, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.

"Who forgot about you?"

The next second, the figure that had haunted Chen Xueru's dreams and kept her awake appeared in front of the three of them.

Seeing that it was really Ximen Lang, Chen Xueru, whose butt had just touched the chair for a while, stood up from her seat.

He quickly stood up to greet him, along with the equally surprised Xu Huizhen. "Hey, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping non-stop this morning. Turns out it's Brother Lang! You're such a busy guy, what brings you here?"

It's still a bit exaggerated, but it doesn't make people feel disgusted. Instead, it makes people feel pleasing to the eye. The familiar and interesting accent makes Ximen Lang's mouth curl up unconsciously.

Xu Huizhen, who was equally enthusiastic but not as exaggerated as Chen Xueru, nodded and greeted her.

Ximen Lang said nonsense.

"What busy man? You're just busy doing nothing. I haven't seen you two for a long time, and you haven't come to see me. I happened to be free today, so I came to see what's going on."

In fact, the truth was that Bai Ling could not stand Ximen Lang's excessive demands regardless of the occasion or time, so she kicked him out of the office on the grounds that she had work to deal with.

It was obviously inappropriate for him to just eat Bai Ling and then turn around to look for Xia Yiyi.

No matter how much of a bastard Ximen Lang is, he would never do such a thing.

It just so happened that the promise he made to Xu Huizhen to supply food to her breakfast shop had never been followed up, so he took the time to come over.

But it was obviously impossible for Ximen Lang to tell Xu Huizhen and the others about these things.

So, after talking for a few words, Ximen Lang ended the topic directly.

While walking into the tavern, he asked Xu Huizhen.

"What's going on with you? Didn't we agree that I'd take care of the food for the breakfast shop next door? Why haven't you done anything? I was waiting for you to come get some food from me, but it's been almost a month and I still haven't seen you. What are you still thinking about?"

Seeing that Ximen Lang actually came for this matter, Xu Huizhen explained.

"Hey, I'm just afraid of bothering you. Selling me that batch of grain at a low price last time was already a huge help to me. I still don't know how to thank you. How can I take advantage of you every day?"

"What's the trouble? It only takes a few minutes to load the food and take it away. What's the trouble? And who told you you're taking advantage of me? The grain is already priced that way. How are you taking advantage of me?"

"But I really can't supply food for much longer. It's not that I can't afford it, but by the beginning of next spring at the latest, or by the end of this year at the earliest, food prices across the country will fall, and food supply will completely return to normal. In fact, within a few years, food coupons and food certificates will become a thing of the past."

"By then, there will be no shortage of food. If you want as much as you want, you can just go to the grain station or the supply and marketing cooperative to get it. It won't be a big deal at all. Then, of course, you won't need me to supply it."

A shocking piece of news was accidentally revealed, leaving Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru stunned for a long time.

He really didn't take the small amount of food the breakfast shop asked for seriously and settled the matter in a few words.

When I looked inside, I saw that my "old acquaintance" Cai Quanwu was there too, writing something word by word on the blackboard.

When he looked around again, he found that the layout was almost the same as in the TV series. Having watched the TV series, Ximen Lang knew that the plot had already reached the stage of opening a literacy class.

He made a gesture to silence Xu Huizhen and Chen Xueru, asking them not to disturb Cai Quanwu from preparing for class.

After stopping and watching for a long time, Ximen Lang realized something was wrong.

"Literacy classes, literacy classes, since the purpose is to help people learn to read and reduce illiteracy, why not use pinyin, which is more convenient and easier to promote?"
