The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Upon hearing the car start, the young man could no longer sit still.

He jumped up and ran while shouting, "Young comrade, young comrade, I was just joking. I'll unload it for you right now."

Li Kaixin slammed on the brakes, leaned out of the car window, and looked at him coldly: "Are you kidding me? I think you were just trying to make things difficult for me because I'm young!"

"Um, I... I..." The young man looked embarrassed, as if his secret had been exposed.

Li Kaixin stared at him for a few seconds before getting out of the car and standing in front of him again:

"This is a one-time thing! If there's a next time, I'll just take the goods away, and you'll have to explain it to your boss yourself."

"Yes, yes, yes! Young comrade." The young man nodded repeatedly.

He was really scared just now. If he messed things up today and it got back to his uncle, he would be in serious trouble.

Li Kaixin ignored the young man and stepped aside.

If it weren't for the fact that we live in this era and these things belong to the public, I really wouldn't want to indulge this kind of person.

The young man didn't dare delay and immediately ordered the people behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Come and unload the goods!"

The loading and unloading workers were still standing at the entrance of the department store watching the commotion when they heard this.

They walked forward reluctantly, but their faces still held a hint of mockery.

Upon seeing this, the young man immediately felt embarrassed: "What are you all dawdling about? Don't you know the young comrades are in a hurry?"

"I wonder who was putting on airs just now, and now they're acting like a good guy," someone in the crowd retorted disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the young man immediately lost his composure, his face flushed as he roared, "Who! Who said that? Step forward!"

The loading and unloading workers ignored him and continued unloading the goods on their own.

Guo Liang, who had just gotten out of the passenger seat, saw this and quickly went to Li Kaixin's side.

"Master, this guy seems like a clown, he can't even get his own people to do anything." His voice was very soft, and his tone was mostly teasing.

"Alright, Guo, stop being so cheeky!" Li Kaixin waved his hand with a smile. "You hurry up and keep an eye on things, make sure they don't unload too much."

"Alright, Master!" Guo Liang chuckled and turned to run to the back of the car.

As bundles of cloth were unloaded from the truck, they piled higher and higher at the entrance of the department store.

The young man stood to the side, his eyes wide with astonishment at the scene.

He sneaked up to the back of one of the carts and saw that there were still more than half a cart of cloth inside. His mind immediately started working.

Over here, Li Kaixin, Wu Tian, ​​and Qian Dazhuang are chatting together.

"Kaixin, what just happened?" Wu Tian was the first to speak.

Li Kaixin didn't hide anything and briefly explained the conflict she had just had with the young man.

After listening, Wu Tian was filled with righteous indignation:

"This guy is outrageous! If it weren't for the heavy workload today, I would have given him a good beating."

Qian Dazhuang sighed, "What a pity. With this person around, we probably won't get any benefits at all."

"Dazhuang, Kaixin has already been made to suffer by that kid, and you're still thinking about your little bit of benefit?"

"What, Xiao Tian, ​​you're not really going to make a move, are you?" Qian Dazhuang retorted.

Wu Tian was taken aback by these words and was about to argue.

Li Kaixin, who was standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, we're all brothers. What kind of talk is it to argue over such a small thing?"

Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang finally quieted down after hearing this.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the young man pulled several young stevedores aside.

"Brother Liu Qiang, why did you call us over? We haven't unloaded our goods yet!" a worker asked, looking puzzled.

"What's your rush? Aren't those old guys still unloading?"

Liu Qiang glared at him and lowered his voice: "I have something to tell you guys now. If you do it well, I'll treat you to a meal tonight."

The young workers' eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

Another tall, thin worker quickly approached with a fawning expression: "What's wrong, Brother Liu Qiang? Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help."

Liu Qiang didn't rush to speak; he first waved to the others.

He waited until they surrounded him before slowly saying:

"After you've unloaded the required quantity, take a few more bundles of cloth off the truck and quietly put them in the warehouse."

"No way! No way!" The tall, thin worker hurriedly waved his hands. "Brother Liu Qiang, if this gets discovered, we'll all lose our jobs."

The other young workers echoed him, their faces showing fear.

"Zhao Gao, look at how pathetic you are!"

Liu Qiang scoffed dismissively. "My uncle manages the warehouse; I'll just give him a heads-up. Besides, as long as we don't talk about it, who else will know?"

The young workers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Zhao Gao hesitated for a moment, but still refused: "Brother Liu Qiang, you should find someone else! This is too risky."

He's not stupid; he wouldn't take such a big risk for a meal.

Seeing that they remained unmoved, Liu Qiang cursed inwardly, but forced a smile on his face:

"Hey brothers, how about this? I'll give you 30% of the goods we got today, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, several young workers finally showed interest on their faces.

Seeing this, Liu Qiang continued to patiently guide him:

"Brothers, you need to think this through. After this job, you can sell a bundle of cloth for a couple hundred dollars on the black market, which is more than you could earn by working yourself to the bone for months."

Zhao Gao swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother Liu Qiang, are you telling the truth? A bundle of cloth can really sell for that much on the black market?"

"Would I lie to you?" Liu Qiang said, looking around. "I know people in the black market. I'll handle the rest. You just wait to collect your money."

Zhao Gao did not agree immediately, but first turned around and discussed it with several of his fellow workers.

After a moment, he looked at Liu Qiang and nodded: "Okay! We'll do it. But if anything goes wrong, don't say we did it."

"Don't worry, if anything happens, I'll take responsibility and won't drag you down with me." Liu Qiang smiled and patted his shoulder.

Zhao Gao was relieved and turned to leave with several of his fellow workers.

Liu Qiang stood there, his smile gradually fading, and what he was thinking remained a mystery.

After Zhao Gao and his men returned to the unloading team, they began to get to work.

After more than ten minutes, the required quantity was finally moved, and Zhao Gao and his coworkers stopped working.

Their method was fairly discreet; they only took one or two bundles from each vehicle, making it virtually inconspicuous.

Seeing that things were about right, Liu Qiang walked straight towards Li Kaixin, a smile plastered on his face:

"Young man, we've finished unloading our goods."

Li Kaixin didn't give him a friendly look, and turned to shout at the transport team:

"Everyone, get on the bus and check the remaining amount of cloth. We're ready to go."

"Young comrade, is that really necessary?"

Liu Qiang's expression changed, and he quickly stopped him: "Our master is an expert, he definitely won't make a mistake."

Li Kaixin frowned slightly and explained, "Comrade, checking quantities is a rule that everyone must follow. What do you mean by stopping me?"

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Qiang's forehead as he smiled sheepishly.

"I was just worried about taking up your time. Look, it's getting late, and you still have a long way to go..."

"That's none of your business," Li Kaixin interrupted him, raising her hand and walking straight to the back of her car.
