Chapter 50: Zhao Chengfeng Arrives.
The price of those gold ingots was unexpectedly high; Dai Hengxin actually sold them for one million each.
He had to make money running a business.
But would Xiao Yingchun feel like he was taking advantage of her? What
if she resented him?
Dai Hengxin was a little nervous, but then Xiao Yingchun asked curiously, "If there are more of these gold ingots, will they be worth less?"
Master Dong couldn't help but laugh. "They're gold ingots, after all. No matter how many there are, they can't be worthless." Old
Man He also smiled. "Even if they're worthless, selling them by the gram won't be cheap. "
Xiao Yingchun felt relieved. "That's good..."
She still had plenty in the small warehouse at the Space-Time Supermarket. If they weren't worth much, she'd be in tears.
But since she couldn't get the price right through this channel, she might
as well try another. Xiao Yingchun pondered, a smile on her face as she prepared to put the gold ingots away.
Old Master He pointed at the gold ingot and asked, "Master Dong, don't you want it?"
Master Dong laughed. He could see that Old Master He was very interested in it, so he simply gave it up.
"If Brother He wants it, and Miss Xiao is willing to part with it, that's fine."
Xiao Yingchun had just made so much money yesterday thanks to Old Master He, so why wouldn't she agree? She agreed immediately.
"As long as Grandpa He wants it, I'll sell it."
"Then I really want it!" Old Master He said this to Xiao Yingchun and Master Dong.
Master Dong smiled and gestured, "Brother He, please."
Old Master He transferred the money to Xiao Yingchun on the spot.
After leaving the He residence, Dai Hengxin was unusually silent.
Xiao Yingchun guessed it was because of the gold ingots, and couldn't help but explain to him: "I sold it to Mr. He because he liked it, not because I didn't want to sell it to you..."
"I have another one here, can I give it to you for 800,000?"
This time it was Dai Hengxin's turn to be shocked: "You knew they could buy your gold ingots for 950,000 each, and you were still willing to sell them to me for 800,000 each?"
Xiao Yingchun grinned: "Why not?"
Dai Hengxin was a little confused by her and simply parked the car on the side of the road with a complicated expression.
"In fact, I sold those gold ingots you sold to me for one million each. I made 200,000 on each one."
"You don't blame me for being too greedy?"
Xiao Yingchun was surprised: "You only make a 20% profit at this price, how can it be considered greedy?"
"Besides, you are doing business, not charity. If you don't make a profit on the difference, won't you lose everything?"
"You don't blame me?" Dai Hengxin was even more shocked: Xiao Yingchun actually thought this was normal?
Xiao Yingchun nodded: "The success of this auction is all thanks to you. I didn't do anything except taking the things out."
"It was you who set up this auction company, and it was you who brought He Liangcong in, and indirectly brought in Mr. He and the people behind him..."
"It was because you did so many things in the early stage that my things were sold for so much money."
"I can't thank you enough, how can I blame you?"
Dai Hengxin stared at Xiao Yingchun's expression, making sure that she was not faking it, and his heart calmed down slightly: "No matter what, I will definitely not cheat you."
"I believe you." Xiao Yingchun's eyes were full of trust, but only trust.

Dai Hengxin felt both comforted and disappointed.
If the two of them were truly romantically involved, Xiao Yingchun would surely be unhappy that he'd profited from the difference in price.
But Xiao Yingchun wasn't the least bit upset. On the contrary, she was incredibly understanding, even willing to sell the gold ingot back to him at its original price...
Xiao Yingchun didn't consider him one of her own!
Dai Hengxin opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing else as he escorted Xiao Yingchun back to the Yingchun Grocery Store. They'd
originally planned to meet up with He Liangcong today, and the three of them were going to split the profits, but who knew they'd run into Mr. He and Master Dong together, so the shareholders' meeting didn't take place.
Before leaving, Dai Hengxin made an appointment with Xiao Yingchun to go find a place to settle accounts the next morning.
Xiao Yingchun waved her off, watched Dai Hengxin leave, and as she opened the door to the grocery store, she began to plan what to prepare for Fu Chenan tonight.
Home-cooked meals and various stir-fries were all available in that era, and Fu Chenan probably wouldn't be interested.
How about some honey-glazed grilled wings for Fu Chenan?!
KFC will do.
Xiao Yingchun did what he said and ordered two buy-one-get-one-free buckets of wings that were delivered on time. One bucket contained ten grilled wings and ten fried wings. Two buckets were enough.
Thinking that he must have never eaten a hamburger before, why not give him one to try?
Thinking of the strange taste of the hamburger when he first ate it, he felt that the sauce was bad and almost vomited it out.
I wonder if Fu Chenan would be uncomfortable with the sauce in the hamburger?
Xiao Yingchun couldn't help laughing when she thought about Fu Chenan's possible reaction.
"Ms. Xiao? What are you so happy about?"
The sudden voice made Xiao Yingchun look up in surprise, only to find that it was a familiar face who came in: Zhao Chengfeng!
Zhao Chengfeng raised his chin high, looking at Xiao Yingchun with eyes full of accusations and suppressed anger.
Xiao Yingchun was baffled, but for the sake of Grandpa Zhao and Dai Hengxin, she didn't say anything. Instead, she stood up and politely called out, "Hello, Aunt Zhao. I was just ordering takeout."
"Oh? What delicious food did you order?" Zhao Chengfeng pressed on.
Xiao Yingchun felt vaguely uncomfortable: Ordering takeout had nothing to do with Zhao Chengfeng, so why was she asking so much?
Was she so lacking in boundaries?
Or did she still feel she didn't need to have respect or boundaries?
Feeling annoyed, Xiao Yingchun still said, "I ordered grilled wings from KFC."
Zhao Chengfeng scoffed, "You should eat less junk food."
Xiao Yingchun almost retorted, but she held back, saying, "Aunt Zhao, are you buying anything? Just take whatever you like. Don't be polite."
"Everything here combined isn't even enough to cover the money my Hengxin earned for you yesterday, is it? I'm not taking advantage of such a small advantage."
Xiao Yingchun fell silent, staring intently at Zhao Chengfeng.
Zhao Chengfeng felt uneasy under her gaze and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Yingchun reminded him lightly, "Dai Hengxin and I signed a confidentiality agreement for this auction, and he has an obligation to keep it secret."
"It doesn't matter who he told privately. What matters is how many people will eventually know about this."
"If I hear from anyone in the urban village that I sold those things, I will appeal and make them compensate me for my losses of three million."
"What do you mean? Without my Xiaoxin, could you have made so much money?"
Zhao Chengfeng felt guilty and angry at Xiao Yingchun's threatening words, and couldn't help but raise his voice.
