My girlfriend is from 1949

"My wife is so thoughtful!"

Chen Huai'an gave a thumbs up and sincerely praised him.

Whether it was intentional or a mistake, he blurted out the word "wife".

Now that his parents are right there, he can't even insist or clarify; he can only acquiesce.

At most, he'd glare at her with his almond-shaped eyes and threaten her.

Unfortunately, what looks fierce in his eyes is seen as particularly cute by someone else.

Chen Huai'an grinned, a smug look on his face.

I couldn't help but admire them: "They're professionals, their work is flawless."

All potential problems were prevented in advance.

The way he looked at Sister Xia was still full of affection.

This woman in her thirties looked completely ordinary.

Moreover, when introducing products, he speaks fluently and knowledgeably, showing familiarity with everything.

When guests occasionally come in, their warm greetings don't seem like an act at all.

Who would have thought that this was actually a state security officer?

Chen Huai'an frowned slightly, feeling a little guilty.

"Wanwan, you just said that Sister Xia will be working here from now on?"

"Yes."

"Really want to be the manager of a local specialty product store?"

"Of course!"

"But...she's from the National Security Bureau, wouldn't it be too unfair for her to be here?"

"The division of labor in the revolution is not based on social status; being a store manager is also a form of covert operation."

"How about we hire a few new salespeople?"

"No, this place needs to be guarded by professionals!"

Lin Wan turned her head and explained in a low voice, "Whether now or in the past, disguising identities is our job!"

Just like before liberation, I disguised myself as a reporter.

Old Zhang's disguised identity is that of a grocery store owner.

Wang Hai's job is as a waiter.

Du Hengtai's public identity is that of a businessman.

But no matter what our identities are to the outside world, we are all members of the underground party.

Even in an ordinary position, they will stick to their job.

Sister Xia works here, pretending to be the store manager.

I meet many people every day and observe the surrounding situation.

If one day we attract the attention of foreign forces who want to gather information about us.

They definitely won't let this place go.

Even if an ordinary person doesn't know our true situation, they wouldn't notice.

But if Sister Xia is here, she'll find out immediately if someone tries to subtly probe our information.

Although they usually disguise themselves as shop assistants, they can be incredibly useful in crucial moments!

Lin Wan, with a serious expression, explained why only Sister Xia could be here.

Chen Huai'an rubbed his fingers against his chin, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face.

I couldn't help but sigh to myself that I, an outsider, just didn't think far enough ahead.

They were only thinking about appeasing their parents and never considered that keeping the shop might have any other purpose.

He said with a smile, "This shop is the bait!"

Lin Wan smiled and nodded slightly, agreeing with this statement.

The existence of this shop serves as a bait and warning when someone pays attention to them.

After all, if foreign forces were to pay attention, they would definitely conduct an in-depth investigation.

Then we discovered that they had business dealings with many factories and merchants.

Who would have thought that among so many people, there would be national security personnel waiting for them to walk into a trap?

So now, this shop is no longer a temporary tool they use to appease their parents.

It's not a net that's been laid out, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

As for when it will come, that's not important.

Arriving here means a great harvest.

If they don't come, it means they haven't been noticed by suspicious individuals, which is a good thing.

Zhang Ping selected many local specialties from other provinces and readily scanned the code to pay.

They didn't take it for free just because it was their son's shop.

After buying the items, I also gained a general understanding of my son's business.

While they were selecting items, many other customers came to buy things.

Sister Xia is busy with both introducing products and collecting payments; she's almost overwhelmed.

After all, this is a prime commercial area with a huge flow of people.

Therefore, the monthly rent is not low.

However, it remains unknown whether the shop will be rented out or reclaimed by the state as compensation.

Sitting in the back seat, Zhang Ping earnestly reminded her, "Your shop is doing very well, and you're usually not around. You could hire a cashier specifically for this purpose, and the accounts must be kept accurate."

This is because they are worried that there will be problems if there is only one person in the store, who is responsible for both inventory and cash handling.

In fact, you can discover loopholes in any industry if you stay in it long enough.

Therefore, it's always good to be prepared.

Moreover, based on the business I just observed, Sister Xia really can't handle it all by herself.

Hiring another cashier and a sales clerk is imperative.

Lin Wan nodded in agreement: "Mom, don't worry, I've already started recruiting, and they'll be here in the next couple of days."

I just sent a message to Lu Tong explaining the situation at the shop.

So whether they recruit from outside or assign people from within the National Security Bureau depends on Zhou Liming's arrangements.

Today was only because it was too rushed, so Zhang Xia came to fill in first.

After all, I only received the message late last night, requesting that a shop selling local specialties be arranged.

These shops are usually located in busy, prime locations, and it's not easy for them to be sold.

Unless you're a super-rich person who throws money around recklessly regardless of cost.

Or it could be the National Security Bureau acquiring it under another name, which would allow it to be done overnight.

Everything was arranged perfectly, and the shortage of staff in the store was a reasonable excuse.

Some details can be filled in later.

The family of four strolled around the shopping district and then took photos at tourist attractions.

After enjoying a delicious lunch, I drove directly to the high-speed rail station.

Chen Jianguo and Zhang Ping came in such a hurry that they didn't even bring toiletries.

There are still a lot of things to take care of at home.

Now I see my son is safe and sound, and I've also met with my daughter-in-law.

After lunch, it's time to go back.

After seeing his parents off, Chen Huai'an did not go home, but went directly to the warehouse.

It's time to deliver.

Zhou Liming helped find a shop and even arranged for someone to help.

Now that things have been resolved satisfactorily, it's time to repay others.

Chen Huai'an locked the door and simply waved his hand.

The once empty warehouse was now filled with barrels of crude oil.

The current dimensions of the Time-Space Treasure Chest are 1280 meters in length, width, and height. Even the world's largest cargo ships could accommodate 20 of them side by side.

This doesn't even include the layers that are stacked on top of each other.

There are only four oil tankers capable of carrying 2 million tons of crude oil, based on a maximum capacity of 550,000 tons.

The time-space treasure chest easily placed the crude oil inside.

The giant warehouse, which is over 600 meters long and 50 meters high, has a large door at the front and back, and two more large doors on each side for unloading.

So when the goods are leaving the warehouse, all six doors are open, which makes the process quite efficient.

200 million tons of crude oil and 10 tons of potash.

The current market price for potash is 3263.5 yuan per ton.

10 tons, that's 3 million!

Moreover, this is a scarce resource in the country, so its value is enormous!

But now, crude oil and potash are being transported over so easily.

With the transport capabilities of the Time-Space Treasure Chest, a significant amount of sea freight and customs clearance fees were saved.

Because there was no customs declaration, even if foreign forces obtain the customs declaration information in the future, there will be no record of these goods.

Because it didn't come in through official channels, it really appeared out of thin air!

Chen Huai'an glanced at it and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

She said, "Notify your best friend to pick up the package, and remember to have them find a vehicle so we can save on shipping costs."
