Niu Bayi said, "It's hard to say. Maybe the company wants to sell, or maybe he wants to sell it privately. But I hope it's the latter, then he's finished."

Upon hearing this, He Zhenzhen immediately understood.

She patted Niu Bayi's shoulders with both of her little hands.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Bayi, you're so smart! How did you know he was going to do some side work?"

Niu Bayi said, "I could tell from his reluctance to produce the documents for the purchasing task that he was guilty. So, I made a bold guess—"

"His delivery task was already completed; what he's doing now is his side job."

"His position as the head of the purchasing station is quite a lucrative job."

He Zhenzhen snorted.

"No matter how lucrative the job is, it can't be taken advantage of us. If it is, my husband will definitely give him a fatal blow."

"That's... let's go!"

Niu Bayi drove his motorcycle and quickly brought He Zhenzhen to the port gate.

However, you can't just go in.

Just in case!

What if Li Dezhi gives some instructions at the main gate?

It is not advisable to alert the enemy at this time.

Niu Bayi drove over, then found a small grove of trees by the roadside and parked the motorcycle.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a small twig and drew an arrow on the ground next to the motorcycle, pointing towards the port.

Then, pulling He Zhenzhen along, they didn't go in through the main gate, but instead sneaked in by climbing over the wall from the side.

With the young couple's current skills, scaling the wall wouldn't be difficult for them.

The port is quite large, with people coming and going, and trucks coming and going from time to time.

The young couple went in without attracting anyone's attention.

However, the truck couldn't be found for a while.

The truck entered the port like a wild boar jumping into a herd of wild boars.

Niu Bayi had no choice but to climb onto a shipping container.

This container is over three meters tall; standing on it, you can see most of the port.

He Zhenzhen jumped up and down below, asking, "Bayi, did you see that? Bayi, did you see that?"

Suddenly, a gruff shout came from behind them.

"What do you see? Why are you climbing onto the shipping container?"

The two were startled and turned around to see that it was a guard.

Niu Bayi quickly jumped down from the container, clapped his hands, and said with a grin, "Brother, we're here to find some smuggled goods. Do you know where this place sells smuggled goods?"

The guard glared at him.

"You're here to buy smuggled goods? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested?"

Niu Bayi chuckled and quickly pulled out a one-yuan note from his pocket, stuffing it into his hand.

"Brother, it's not much money, but it's a small token of my appreciation. I'll buy you a pack of cigarettes."

The guard immediately turned his head, glanced at the bill, and seeing that no one was paying attention, quickly stuffed the one-yuan note into his pocket.

A kind and friendly smile appeared on his face.

He held up his baton and pointed to a spot not far away.

"Go that way, walk about 200 meters and turn left, then walk another 100 meters. There's a tin-roofed building on your right. That's where they sell smuggled goods. Go ahead, don't worry!"

"Buying parallel imports here is perfectly safe; nobody will bother you."

Niu Bayi said thank you, brother, and then pulled He Zhenzhen along and walked over there.

As He Zhenzhen followed him, she asked curiously, "Bayi, what does 'fake goods' mean?"

Niu Bayi said, "Goods from outside are divided into official goods and parallel imports. Official goods are those that have passed through customs properly and are more expensive. Parallel imports are those that have been smuggled in without being declared to customs, so they are cheaper."

"In ports like this, you can usually find smuggled goods. You can find all sorts of clothes, watches, and electronic products that are hard to find here, all sorts of odds and ends in the smuggled goods market."

"It's similar to the black market of the past."

He Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed, filled with admiration.

"Wow, my goodness, Bayi, you seem to know everything! Are we going to buy grey market goods now?"

Niu Bayi chuckled to himself.

"Why go buy counterfeit goods? Just to fool that guard, so he doesn't give a sound and we get discovered. I already saw where that truck was parked. Let's go over there."

Niu Bayi pulled He Zhenzhen along and ran in the direction he had chosen.

The truck that Li Dezhi was riding in drove into the port and stopped in an area near the dock.

About twenty meters away, there were cargo ships docked at the pier.

Li Dezhi jumped off the truck and shouted, "Boss Zhou! Boss Zhou! Where are you? Come pick up the goods!"

That's a really loud voice.

Not long after, a man wearing a floral shirt emerged from a cargo ship.

He walked across the pontoon bridge and jumped onto the dock, wearing a pair of brown sunglasses. He looked to be around fifty years old and spoke with a strong Hong Kong accent.

"Oh dear, Li Dezhi, why are you only arriving now? I've been waiting for you forever! The flowers have all withered, and the ship is about to set sail. What good stuff did you bring me?"

Li Dezhi leaned closer and said excitedly, "Boss Zhou, it's a good thing you didn't leave. If you had, you wouldn't have seen so many good products. You'll be satisfied with these, and they're especially fresh and hot. Come on, come on!"

Without saying a word, he grabbed Boss Zhou's wrist, strode to the back of the truck, and then glared at him.

"What are you standing there for? Open the door now."

His two men immediately surrounded him and opened the back door of the car.

Suddenly, a fishy smell, reminiscent of seawater, wafted out.

The boss seemed to be enjoying himself this week; he took a couple of deep breaths and his eyes lit up.

"Oh my, I can tell from the fishy smell that it's all good stuff. If I'm not mistaken, it's dried flounder. Dried flounder is very popular in Hong Kong."

Li Dezhi burst into laughter and suddenly clapped his hands.

"As expected of Boss Zhou, I can tell just by smelling them without even looking. They are all dried flounder, weighing about 7,000 catties, and they are still very fresh, jumping around. I have never seen such fresh dried flounder before."

"The most important thing is that each one is very big, none of them weigh less than two or three pounds. Come on, come on, let's go up and take a look."

Li Dezhi's men had already jumped into the warehouse and lowered the foot pedal.

Boss Zhou was also very excited. He jumped onto the footboard and crawled into the cargo hold.

Li Dezhi also jumped up.

When Boss Zhou saw it, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The warehouse was filled with large water buckets.

In each bucket, countless flounders were slapping their tails and swimming around.

Under normal circumstances, at least 60-70% of these earthworms would probably have died, if not all of them.

However, Niu Bayi enhanced them with spatial seawater, making them appear extremely fierce.

Boss Zhou stared wide-eyed in disbelief, touching this and that.

Then, he clapped his hands excitedly.

"This is wonderful! This is wonderful! I've never seen such fresh flounder before, and there are so many of them. Li Dezhi, how do you keep them so well? How do you manage to raise them so well?"

Li Dezhi said smugly, "It's right over at the fishing port. As soon as their fishing boats arrive, I immediately buy it from them and then deliver it here without stopping. I knew you would like it."

"So, what do you think? Should we take it all, or what?"
