The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Chapter 140 The mysterious man in black

Due to limited vision, the militiamen had no idea where the men in black had gone.

But Zhao Dongchuan, who was lying on the top of the rockery, saw clearly that the man in black did not continue to run forward, but turned his body to the side and hid in the grass in the corner of the yard.

Looking at the "man in black" lying motionless on the ground, Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but admire him.

Even after being shot, he remained calm and hid in the bushes without moving. He is truly brave and resourceful.

The man in black hid in the bushes and waited for a while. Seeing that no one came back, he slowly stood up and staggered to hide in another direction.

He had no intention of climbing over the wall to enter the hospital. The wall was so high and he was injured, so he definitely couldn't get in.

Even if they come in, if they attract other people's attention and make noise, they will definitely attract more militiamen.

Zhao Dongchuan had no intention of interfering in other people's business. This man was chased by militia and even fired a gun, so he must have committed a serious crime.

He has no interest in dealing with such people.

Seeing that there was nothing more to watch, Zhao Dongchuan went back to his bedroom, took a shower, and went to bed.

…………

The next day, Zhao Dongchuan got up early in the morning and cooked himself a pot of porridge with the system rice.

He started his morning exercises. When he finished his morning exercises, the porridge was ready. Zhao Dongchuan was eating breakfast with last night's leftovers when he heard a noise in the front yard.

As soon as he heard it, he knew someone had unlocked the door and come in.

Zhao Dongchuan held the bowl, stood up, put on his glasses, and slowly walked to the front yard.

Huang Laosan came over today as usual to check on the house and clean the front yard.

As for the backyard, Mr. Han had instructed that no one except him could enter, so he usually knocked on the door and left if no one responded.

So when he opened the gate and saw Zhao Dongchuan holding a bowl and drinking porridge, he suddenly felt unreal. He never expected that the scene would be like this when he saw Mr. Han again.

"Mr. Han?" He couldn't help but call out softly to make sure he was not hallucinating.

"Come on! I cooked porridge. Come in and have some?" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile while holding the bowl.

"No, no, I came here after breakfast. Mr. Han, you're back!" Huang Laosan came back to his senses and said respectfully.

"Yeah, I took a long vacation to do some things, and now I'm back!"

After saying hello, Zhao Dongchuan went back to the backyard to continue drinking porridge, while Huang Laosan waited beside him.

After breakfast, the two sat down in the living room in the front yard.

"Mr. Han, this is our account statement for these days. Please take a look!" Huang Laosan handed a ledger to Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan took the account book and began to look through it.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust Huang Laosan, but he needs to have a clear understanding of the recent sales situation.

More than twenty days have passed since he left Huangyuan, and he has sold a total of 50 watches, most of which were sold around the Spring Festival.

"I guess they were bought as gifts for the New Year or to reward themselves for their hard work throughout the year?" Zhao Dongchuan thought to himself.

Is this considered the New Year's Goods Festival?

The revenue from 50 watches was 5120 yuan, and the average order value was much lower than before. This was a promotional activity that he had discussed with Huang Laosan before.

There are only so many people in Huangyuan, and few of them can afford it. Besides, other goods have started to come in. The previous price was inflated, and it will be difficult to sell if the price is not lowered.

Fortunately, the goods are in short supply now and demand exceeds supply, so it is not time for a price war to break out yet.

Huang Laosan took out the payment for the goods from a cabinet and gave it to Zhao Dongchuan.

This house is like his financial center. He would keep the proceeds from his daily sales here and keep records.

Zhao Dongchuan came late yesterday, otherwise we could have met.

Zhao Dongchuan took over the five bundles of Datuan and started counting them quickly. He finished counting in a short while and found that the number was correct, it was indeed 5120 yuan.

Zhao Dongchuan took out 120 yuan, handed it to Huang Laosan and said, "You can divide this money among the brothers. It's up to you to decide how to divide it. It's considered a New Year's bonus!"

"Mr. Han, this watch is almost sold out. Do you want to get some more?" Huang Laosan took it respectfully and asked softly.

"Yes, we need to restock. Don't worry, just sell as normal. I'll find a way!"

"Mr. Han, since you want to purchase goods, can you have more different items, such as radios, flashlights, etc." Huang Laosan suggested.

"Yes, it's good that you can think of this. We can't just sell electronic watches. We still need to expand our product categories! I will find a way to do this."

"By the way, haven't you encountered any troubles recently?" Zhao Dongchuan couldn't help but ask when he thought of the chase yesterday.

"Mr. Han, the black market has been quite quiet recently. Apart from the addition of a stall owner selling electronic watches, there has been no other changes! Has Mr. Han heard any rumors?"

"Uh, that's good! If anything happens, you must report to me immediately. If you can't find me here... you can go to that state-owned restaurant and leave a message. I will know!"

Huang Lao San nodded, and then as if he remembered something, he said: "Mr. Han, I heard rumors that a bandit appeared in Huangyuan and is wanted. I don't know if it's true or not!"

As soon as Zhao Dongchuan heard it, he knew it must be the man in black from last night.

"So he's a notorious bandit. Looks like he has some skills!"

He remained expressionless on the surface, but in fact he had already confirmed the identity of the man in black last night. The only difference was that they should not interfere with each other and should go their separate ways. He didn't have the energy to care about these things.

"This period of time may not be peaceful. Tell the brothers to be careful. If things cannot be done, we can put this business aside for now. I think this matter may implicate us. You should be alert!"

After explaining all this, Zhao Dongchuan left. He still had to go to work, what a poor worker!

In the following days, he was always dealing with "paperwork". Fortunately, none of them were urgent and he just had to follow the procedures.

"Xiao Zhao, I met Director Wang on the way here, and he asked you to go to his office!" Jia Bing shook off the snow on his body and feet, walked into the office and said to Zhao Dongchuan.

"Okay, I'll be there right away!" Zhao Dongchuan put down the documents in his hand, straightened his clothes, opened the door, and left the office.

At this time, heavy snow was falling outside. The roofs and the ground were all covered with snow. The whole world was wrapped in silver and was extremely beautiful.

Without taking the time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, Zhao Dongchuan quickly walked towards the director's office.

"Director, you're looking for me!"

"Sit down quickly! Have some hot tea to warm yourself up!" Director Wang smiled and invited Zhao Dongchuan to sit down.

After Zhao Dongchuan took a sip of tea, he slowly spoke.

"That's right. The housing application you submitted a few days ago has had some progress. We reported it to the Cultural Bureau, and after studying it, the bureau has basically confirmed it!"

"It's just that because you are single, I can only arrange a one-bedroom apartment for you!

Of course, the notice has not come down yet. This is what Director Du told me privately! "Director Wang said with a smile.
