Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

"Alright, now that all the leaders are here and following the rules, shall we go inspect the goods now?" Su Wanqing readily agreed, smiling. "I'll go look for them first and see which corner they've put the items in."

"Alright, alright! Comrade Xiao Su, you go ahead, we'll wait here and won't go over!" Li Aiguo immediately replied, and the others nodded in agreement.

Su Wanqing said no more, turned around and quickly walked into the depths of the poplar grove. The poplar grove was still dense with leaves in early autumn, and her figure disappeared from everyone's sight after a few turns.

As soon as she left, the tense yet expectant atmosphere eased slightly. Engineer Liu, his face stern, couldn't help but mutter to Li Aiguo:

"When exactly did they bring these things in? How could they just leave things worth hundreds of thousands of dollars in the woods like that?"

He dared not be so careless with the little trinkets he carried with him for Su Wanqing.

Li Aiguo glanced in the direction Su Wanqing had disappeared. "Old Liu, don't ask these kinds of questions anymore. Do you think they haven't thought of what you can? I reckon the stuff was already safely stored away. There are probably countless eyes watching from the shadows around this woods! Otherwise, who would dare to be so careless?"

Upon hearing this, the newly arrived managers exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.

Someone couldn't help but confirm again: "Director Li, are there really that many sets? Brand new? Don't tell me they're refurbished or discarded defective products; we can't accept those."

"Yeah, this stuff is more sought after than gold right now. The black market is going crazy. Is it really possible for something like this to fall into our laps?"

Li Aiguo was actually a little apprehensive, but he didn't show it on his face. "Don't worry, I've confirmed with Comrade Xiao Su that it's absolutely brand new, original Soviet goods, just like the sets we keep as treasures in our warehouse! If there's even the slightest flaw, we'll refuse to accept it on the spot. I can vouch for Comrade Xiao Su's friend's reputation for that."

Even so, the weight on everyone's hearts was still not completely lifted, until a few minutes later, Su Wanqing's clear voice came from deep within the woods:

"Director Li, comrades, we've found the place, please come over!"

"Here it comes!"

As if hearing a starting gun, a group of people immediately jogged towards the direction of the sound.

After passing through a small patch of dense tree trunks, the view suddenly opened up before them, and then everyone was stunned.

On the open ground, several bulging... urea fertilizer bags were piled up haphazardly. The bags weren't tied tightly enough, and you could even see what was inside.

A precision imported bearing worth 450,000 yuan was just carelessly thrown on the ground in a fertilizer bag?

Li Aiguo's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he chuckled dryly, "Hehe... Well, it's good that the item is here, it's good that it's here. Quick, open it and check the goods!"

Su Wanqing was quite composed. She simply untied the drawstring of a bag, grabbed the bottom of the bag with both hands, and lifted it up—"whoosh!" A pile of brand-new tapered roller bearing assemblies spilled out.

"Hiss—!" A collective gasp filled the air.

Immediately afterwards, all pretense of modesty and leadership airs were thrown to the winds.

Director Wang was the first to rush forward, picking up a set as if it were a rare treasure and examining it carefully against the light; Engineer Liu was even more professional, pulling out a small magnifying glass from somewhere and inspecting it meticulously; the other responsible persons also disregarded the dirt and squatted down to begin their separate inspections.

"Brand new! Not a single sign of wear!"

"It's a genuine product!"

"This one is fine too!"

"Me too!"

The 150 sets of bearings were carefully inspected one by one and then meticulously put back together.

Su Wanqing smiled slightly. These are all replicas of the original products, so it would be strange if there were any problems. Speaking of which, it's fortunate that this thing doesn't have a serial number, otherwise it would have given itself away.

Once the last set was confirmed to be correct, everyone looked up, their faces filled with ecstatic joy. Engineer Liu's eyes were practically glazed over as he calculated how many of his important pieces of equipment these treasures could revitalize.

Su Wanqing dusted off her hands and asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, how was the inspection? Are you satisfied?"

Li Aiguo finally regained his voice from his immense joy, and deliberately put on a stern face as he addressed the others:

"Look at you all, what kind of state are you in? I told you Comrade Su's friends are absolutely reliable! Do you believe me now? Hurry up and pack your things, stop making a fool of yourselves here!"

Fat Director Wang immediately grabbed a sack of urea: "This sack is mine, no one can take it from me. Now all our machines can harvest, and we can also help the surrounding regiments harvest and earn some rent."

Now, all the harvesting in the farms is done by hand, and only state-owned farms have harvesters.

Liu remained silent, but quickly pulled the other two bags to his side and protected them tightly.

Li Aiguo looked at the extra sack and picked it up, placing it on a cart beside him. "These are for next year's quota," he said. Or, if other places offered higher prices later, he could temporarily exchange them for other resources. In short, this shaft was hard currency.

The four or five heads of other units standing nearby were green with envy.

"Director Li, Brother Li! When will the second batch of goods arrive? We're facing a huge shortage too! How much more can you spare?"

Li Aiguo waved his hand and looked at Su Wanqing first: "Everyone, please be patient and wait for us to finish the handover." He turned around and took a sturdy box from the cart.

"Comrade Xiao Su, this is the payment for this transaction, calculated according to the price we agreed on."

Li Aiguo opened the box, and the golden light inside almost blinded Su Wanqing.

"Hiss—" Su Wanqing also gasped. Gold, so much gold!

All of these belong to her?

Most of the gold bars were large and small yellow croakers, arranged neatly. There were also many gold bracelets, gold rings and other jewelry, and even two gold cigarette holders.

The quality may vary, but the quantity is considerable, clearly indicating that Li Aiguo has gone to great lengths to collect this sum.

"This is 56 jin of gold. Weigh it and see where it's convenient to put it?" Li Aiguo said, pointing to the wooden box.

Su Wanqing stepped forward calmly, but inwardly she was overjoyed. She had struck it rich! She had really struck it rich!

She carefully weighed the box before standing up and closing the lid.

"The number is correct, Director Li." She said casually, "Then I'll send these over to my friend's people to count them. Please wait a moment."

Hurry, hurry, you dead leg, run! All this gold is safest if we put it in her space!

Having said that, she effortlessly and without changing her expression lifted the heavy wooden box and strode quickly into the deeper part of the woods, almost as if she were flying.

This scene left Li Aiguo and the others stunned.

Comrade Su, you just picked up those dozens of kilograms of gold so easily, with one hand, and walked away? How strong are you?
