The sales clerk's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, that's the girl. She's so beautiful and incredibly generous. She's practically my lucky charm."

Sister Liu curled her lip, revealing a disdainful expression.

"Tch! What's the use of being pretty? She's got ulterior motives and only became the commander's wife by stealing someone else's fiancé."

"Let me tell you, stay away from her from now on, and don't sell her anything. She's a menace; anyone who gets involved with her is doomed. She's only been in our unit for a few days, and she's already got two officers' wives fired."

The sales clerk was a little incredulous. "Huh? She's that good? I've seen her buy clothes so readily. She just grabs them and leaves without even haggling."

Sister Liu spat again.

"Don't be fooled by her appearance. This woman is a master of pretense. She looks all smiles, but she's full of tricks. Even our unit's Political Commissar Wang and the other leaders are no match for her."

"Now, no one in the entire unit talks to her or pays attention to her; they're just letting her show off."

"Let me tell you, yesterday Commander Lu came to my house, asking your cousin-in-law to arrange a job for her at the service center, but your cousin-in-law refused outright. If we bring in such a troublemaker, the entire logistics department will suffer."

As Sister Liu spoke, she became more and more excited, feeling that her husband had done something incredibly glorious by rejecting Xiao Re.

"Later, I heard that Commander Lu went to the head of the guesthouse, the head of the kindergarten, the head of the sanitation team... but none of those departments wanted her."

"Even if Commander Lu said he would give them a job and work for free without pay, even if he had to pay out of his own pocket, no one would accept it."

"Isn't this hilarious?" Sister Liu covered her mouth and laughed.

"If I were her, I'd be so annoying, I might as well hang myself."

Hearing these words, Xiao Re did not go to argue with Sister Liu, but instead said loudly to the proprietress.

"Buy clothes. That one, that one, that one... I want them all."

She pointed with her finger and a dozen or so items appeared. The proprietress was completely astonished.

"Comrade, didn't you come here to look for a job?... What, you've come here to buy clothes again? So many, that must cost a lot of money."

Although Xiao Re's clothes and appearance didn't seem like those of someone who worked a manual laborer, she wondered, "Why would someone so rich be looking for a job?"

"Wrap it up and wear a different one each day."

Xiao Re, a wealthy and arrogant man, spoke very loudly. His voice made Liu's cousin next door green with envy. After all, Xiao Re used to buy everything from their family.

She poked her head out and greeted us with an extremely unnatural smile.

"Comrade, you're here to buy clothes again? Why don't you take a look at mine? You wear clothes often, so you should know that my clothes have better styles and the fabrics are more comfortable to wear."

Xiao Re glanced over indifferently and said sarcastically.

"Your clothes are perfect for hanging yourself. My life is vibrant and I want to live a few more years."

When Sister Liu saw Xiao Re, she was terrified, her face turned ashen, and she ran away as fast as she could, fearing that Xiao Re would come after her.

Her cousin chased after her.

"Cousin, you haven't paid yet! Even though we're relatives, you should at least pay for the cost!"

But Sister Liu had already disappeared, which made the saleswoman furious and she gave her a good scolding.

"Who is this person? Buying clothes without paying? What kind of relative is this? I paid real money for these clothes."

"I lost a piece of clothing for nothing, and it also delayed a big business deal of mine."

"Pah! Consider this dress I gave you as a gift to hang yourself!"

Xiao Re left carrying a large bag of clothes, amidst the bright and enthusiastic farewell from the proprietress next door.

Liu's cousin was left there stamping her feet in frustration.

After learning that Lu Yanzheng had also put some effort into her work, Xiao Re's anger subsided a little.

But I still can't forgive him for assigning the shop assistant position to He Yingying. This is favoritism, a deliberate slap in the face to her.

When she returned to the army, she saw a tender notice on the bulletin board for contracting a breeding farm, and her eyes lit up immediately.

If the people in the military don't give her work, she can do it herself!

The people here dislike her and don't want to be her friends, so she can recruit her old friends from Qingkou Town to come here and play!

I've wanted to bring Erni here for a long time, but the military doesn't allow outsiders to come in. This is a golden opportunity.

Xiao Re glanced at the time and quickly ran to the auditorium. The bidding meeting was already halfway through.

Some officers, soldiers, and their families with ideas have already started bidding loudly.

"I'll offer three hundred!"

"Three hundred and eighty!"

"Four hundred!"

"Four hundred and eighty!"

"five hundred!"

"Five hundred and eighty!"

……

As rental prices soared, competition intensified. The number of participants grew, and their voices became louder.

Finally, some courageous man made a bold offer, setting an exorbitant price that was beyond anyone's reach.

"Eight hundred, I want this farm!"

This farm is affiliated with the military, so as long as it gets up and running, sales won't be a problem. Many people are envious and eager to make a fortune with this stable business. But the annual rent of 800 yuan is equivalent to an average man's annual income.

This doesn't even include the cost of labor, feed, grain, and livestock.

Following this approach, although you can make a little money, after deducting all costs, the remaining profit is minimal, making it not worthwhile at all.

The people present exchanged glances, each secretly calculating their next move. Finally, someone gritted their teeth and uttered a trembling voice.

"I'll bet eight hundred and eighty!"

Eight hundred and eighty, that's an exceptionally high rent. With that kind of money, you might as well build a pigsty in a rural village; it only costs a few hundred yuan, and you'd own it permanently.

The one making the offer was Deng Ke, the director of the logistics service agency, and Sister Liu's husband.

There were other people nearby trying to persuade him.

"Director Deng, this rent of 880 yuan is really too high. I'm afraid we'll be working hard all year round for nothing and not making any profit!"

Deng Ke smiled and insisted on his own idea.

"It's alright, let's keep going. At worst, Cuiping and I will work harder ourselves, order more dishes, hire two fewer workers, and see if we can make a little extra money."

Just when everyone thought that Director Deng had a sure thing in hand over the farm,

Xiao Re walked out from behind the corner and spoke slowly.

"I'll bet 980!"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resonant.

When everyone saw it was her, the people standing next to her immediately moved far away, afraid of getting involved with her.

Many people were whispering among themselves about the crickets.

"What's this woman doing here? Is she good at herding sheep or raising pigs? Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?"

"He probably can't find a job and is trying to show off here!"

In particular, Deng Ke's wife, Liu Cuiping, immediately jumped out and screamed as soon as she saw that it was Xiao who had come out to bid.

"Hey, Commander Lu's wife, are you deliberately trying to cause trouble for my family? It's just that I said a few unpleasant things to you today, and you're retaliating by picking a fight with us?"

"Your poor relationship with the colleagues in the family compound is because you don't know how to behave, so no one wants to work with you or be your colleague."

"If you find my words harsh, I apologize. But we sincerely want to rent this farm."

Although Liu Cuiping was a gossipy and annoying person, Xiao Rezhen never thought of taking revenge on her.

She just wanted to use the opportunity of contracting the farm to bring Yang Nier over for fun.

Therefore, she will not allow this breeding farm.

"Comrade Liu, I don't know you, and I have no intention of retaliating against you. I also want to contract this farm; let's compete fairly."

After saying that, Xiao Re turned his head away, ignoring her, and quietly waited for the bidding results.

The murmurs below grew louder and louder, and Xiao Wen, the head of the livestock production team, had no choice but to step forward and take charge.

"Commander Lu's wife, contracting this breeding farm isn't child's play. What are you, a mere woman, doing getting involved? Don't make things worse!"

Xiao Re coldly raised his eyes and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"What's wrong with women? Chairman Mao said that women hold up half the sky. Didn't the bidding announcement say that the highest bidder wins?"

"What? Can't I take on the contract?"

It's not that she can't, it's that she simply doesn't seem like the type of person who can endure hardship and do heavy work.

"No. Comrade Xiao, this contracting of the breeding farm is a big deal. Does your Commander Lu know about it?"
