Chapter 30 The Spiritual Young Woman
June 22nd, 4 PM
Tian Ersan hired three middle-aged women from the neighborhood to do the work today.

Two people were responsible for packing packages under the plastic sheet shed at the entrance, while another was responsible for taking the packages out of the house to wait for the last shipment.

Each person is paid 30 yuan per day, from 9 am to 5 pm, and can go home for lunch.

Now that the wheat harvest is over, the fifty-something-year-old woman has nothing to do, so she comes here to earn some extra money.

The addition of the three middle-aged women significantly improved work efficiency and also prevented some scrap collectors from stealing.

Tian Ersan has finished shipping out today's goods and is currently in his room making a video while enjoying the breeze from a fan.

While I was busy, a woman with red and green hair came in through the door.

After the woman entered, she looked around the shop and called out into the room, "Shanshan! Shanshan!"

Tian Ersan looked up at the young woman who looked like a hostess or a prostitute.

At this moment, Zhou Shanshan ran out, and after lifting the curtain and seeing the woman outside, she also showed a surprised expression.

"Liu Wen? What happened to you?"

Liu Wen chewed gum and smiled, saying, "Isn't my dyed hair pretty? I'll introduce you to a good job; you can earn five or six thousand a month. Do you want to go?"

Zhou Shanshan quickly shook her head, "No, I'm fine here. Food and lodging are provided, and I get 1,800 a month."

Liu Wen quickly replied, "1800 yuan is nothing! My friend needs people, you can work with me, I'll protect you!"

Zhou Shanshan knew very well what kind of job Liu Wen had found; just by looking at her outfit, she knew it definitely wasn't a respectable job.

If she hadn't met Tian Ersan, Zhou Shanshan, who was short of money but loved beauty, might have gone out to earn money with her friend.

But now that she's with a respectable person, even though she doesn't really feel like she's his girlfriend, Zhou Shanshan still doesn't want to leave.

"I'm not going. I'm fine here. My boss treats me very well."

Liu Wen glanced at Tian Ersan and said flippantly, "Did you sleep with him?"

Tian Ersan smiled. "What? You slept with your boss too?"

Liu Wen didn't understand the sarcasm at all and laughed, saying, "So what if I went? What's it to you? How much can your lousy shop earn in a month? I think you're pretty good-looking. Why don't you quit your shop and come work for me? We're short of men around here. I'll introduce you to some pretty girls. I guarantee you'll have a good time!"

Tian Ersan picked up the tea mug on the table and quickly poured out the cooled boiled water inside.

The tea was quickly splashed onto Liu Wen's face and body, and Tian Ersan also stood up and walked out.

"Get out!" Tian Ersan immediately took action, pushing the woman by the chest and leading her out.

Liu Wen covered her chest with both hands and quickly wiped her face, cursing, "You son of a bitch! I'll call my buddies over and smash up this lousy shop of yours!"

Upon hearing this, Tian Ersan kicked her directly in the stomach.

The delicate, rebellious 18 or 19-year-old girl was kicked to the ground outside.

Tian Ersan came out and stood at the door, pondering how to deal with this messy and chaotic situation.

These kinds of petty things are always a part of life in small towns.

Calling the police won't help. These lawless young people cause trouble in the middle of the night, smashing doors and windows, or even setting fires.

Tian Ersan was increasingly reluctant to stay in the small county town, but he had to solve this problem right now.

When business is good, you encounter all sorts of provocations, but I never expected that the first ones to come to me wouldn't be those thugs, but rather these young women.

As Tian Ersan was pondering what to do, he suddenly noticed that the woman on the ground was looking at him with a frightened expression.

Why am I afraid? It's clearly me who's worried about how to deal with you!

Tian Ersan quickly realized that these people weren't unaware of fear; they simply didn't realize how serious things were before they did them.

Whether it's murder or arson, they do it all in a moment of impulse.

The Liu Wen in front of me was just yelling that she would have people smash the store, but that was when she was being splashed with water and pushed around.

Only after being kicked away did you truly get a beating.

After being beaten, he became obedient.

Tian Ersan quickly squatted down and looked at the woman sitting on the ground.

"Your name is Liu Wen, right?"

Liu Wen wanted to be assertive, but her stomach was hurting badly and her mind was foggy, so she subconsciously answered, "Me."

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "I don't know how many friends you have, but everyone around here is my friend. These guys and those guys are all people who work for me."

Liu Wen looked around and saw some middle-aged women watching over the area, as well as deliverymen loading their vehicles without saying a word.

Tian Ersan continued, "I know quite a few people in the county. Many people come here every day. I don't know if your friend rides an electric bike or a bicycle. Anyway, this county isn't very big. I can find out where you live and what you do with your money with a simple search."

"I don't want to argue with a girl like you. You can leave now."

Liu Wen quickly stood up and carefully glanced at Tian Ersan, who had also stood up, as well as the silent crowd nearby.

Liu Wen nodded cautiously, her face flushed, and prepared to leave.

Tian Ersan was worried that if she went back to find someone, he might really have to stay up all night guarding against these scumbags. "Wait!" Tian Ersan called out to Liu Wen.

Liu Wen quickly stopped and looked nervously at Tian Ersan.

Tian Ersan smiled and said, "Your clothes are dirty and your face is all messed up. Go inside, wash your face, and clean yourself up before you leave."

"Don't worry, there are so many people watching, and you and Shanshan are friends. Just watch your manners when you speak, and I won't hold it against you."

Whether out of foolishness or courage, Liu Wen quickly and casually said, "Then I'll wash my face."

Tian Ersan let her in, and soon followed her inside.

Zhou Shanshan led Liu Wen to the lobby on the first floor, while Zhang Shuya and Wang Linlin worked in the air-conditioned room on the second floor.

"Liu Wen, please come inside and sit down. I'll get you some water."

Liu Wen had already behaved herself and squatted down by the well, saying, "You pump the water, I'll wash up."

Tian Ersan walked into the courtyard. Liu Wen saw Tian Ersan and said awkwardly, "Brother, I'm sorry about earlier."

Tian Ersan laughed, "Oh my, are you a hostess?"

Liu Wen looked at Tian Ersan awkwardly, "Brother, how did you know?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Tian Ersan sat down on a stool and looked at the young girl squatting there. "I've been to those kinds of places before. It's nothing. We're just trying to make a living. It's hard to find a job in the county, and even fewer people earn a lot."

Liu Wen quickly replied, "Yes, I have no idea what to do. I'm also short on money and can't even afford to top up my phone credit."

Tian Ersan said, "Shanshan is working here with me, so don't pull her away."

Liu Wen nodded and said, "Definitely! Those idiots at school lied to me and said that Shanshan was dating a ragpicker. I wanted to get to know Shanshan, and since she's so pretty, I thought I'd introduce her to a job that would make money. I didn't know she was dating you, brother."

Tian Ersan quickly chatted with this energetic young woman for a while and asked her a lot of questions.

This includes when she lost her virginity, how many boyfriends she's had, how many people she's worked with as a hostess, and her messy private life.

Another thing is that this group consists of six people, four women and two men, who are young and plan to follow a man in his late twenties to the south.

Tian Ersan asked, "Who is the big boss in this county?"

Liu Wen knows a little about this.

"It's Prince Zhang Dong. He works in the nightlife industry. He oversees several bathhouses, internet cafes, and karaoke bars in the county, and he has more than a dozen henchmen under him."

Tian Ersan nodded. "Let's add each other on WeChat. I can ask you if I need anything in the future."

"Okay!" Liu Wen quickly took out her iPhone and added Tian Ersan as a friend.

Tian Ersan quickly bought Liu Wen a drink, chatted for a while, and then saw her off.

After seeing the people off, Tian Ersan said to Zhou Shanshan, "Don't contact those people too much. They're either trying to drag you down or asking you for money."

Zhou Shanshan lowered her head and said softly, "Yeah, I didn't expect her to become a prostitute. She was such a quiet person when she was in school."

Tian Ersan said earnestly, "It's very important to follow the right person."

Zhou Shanshan smiled and nodded, "Mm!"

After Tian Ersan went out, he spoke with Su Mingjian.

"Is it too late to install surveillance now? If someone causes trouble, I'll move to Shandong Province. There are many canneries there, and many people willing to protect the God of Wealth."

Tian Ersan had long been dissatisfied with this small county town, and if something went wrong this time, he would leave.

I won't do business here anymore, since I have no shortage of goods and plenty of support from big factories.

Su Mingjian replied, "Don't be afraid. Those thugs can't get anything done. If all else fails, we'll work overtime tonight. Anyway, we still have a lot of goods to ship today. Just turn on the lights, and if they dare to come and cause trouble, we'll kill them before they even get started!"

Su Mingjian's henchman said tactfully, "Killing them is too much trouble. Just find a run-down house and make them kneel there for one night, and they'll behave. I've been in jail before and learned a lot of useful tricks."

Tian Ersan nodded. "Then let's work overtime tonight. I'll have the cannery and foam factory deliver the goods."

Now, the number of canned food orders per day exceeds one thousand.

Relying on low prices and the sincerity of handwritten price lists, they easily accumulated a large number of repeat customers.

It takes half a minute to pack a single can of food. Including handling and loading, it takes four to five hours for four people to pack.

If you include rest and meals, it should take about a night.

With over a thousand orders, Su Mingjian and his team could earn a thousand a day, so naturally they didn't want anything to happen here that would delay their work.

Su Mingjian said, "I'll ask my dad and brother to come and help. Boss Tian just needs to make a phone call to the foam factory and the cannery. It's just a matter of a word."

“Okay.” Tian Ersan agreed with a smile. “There’s a lot of canned goods and melon seeds to work on. If we finish today, we’ll take two truckloads tonight and one truckload tomorrow morning. We can rest in the house during the hot daytime.”

We all earn money together, so we should all share the responsibilities.

If someone doesn't show up for something, they'll definitely have to be replaced.
