Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

"you……"

The administrator was even more furious at Ye Chen's unbridled behavior.

He rushed forward and kicked the weighed fish over.

"Private transactions are prohibited outside the market; what you're doing is illegal!"

"Get out of here right now, or I'll call the police!"

"Bro, are you really going to make a big deal out of this?"

Ye Chen stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Are you sure that if the police come and know the whole story, they'll definitely take me away?"

"What...what do you mean?" The administrator was a little flustered.

In the past, they used their status to bully others in the wholesale market.

Which businessperson would dare to say a word more?

Ye Chen is the first person to remain so calm and even ask a question in return!

What gives this kid such confidence?

Does he have some kind of connection?

Thinking of this, the administrator couldn't help but lower his head, signaling Ye Chen to continue.

"Brother, you're doing this for someone else, right? With so many people watching, you were asking for an exorbitant price. Is that legal?"

"If the police come, I definitely won't speak up for you. If I tell the police about what you just did, do you think... you might get in trouble too?"

"Given the conflicting accounts from both sides, the final outcome of the police investigation will likely be a 50/50 split – I'll just have to pay a fine, but you'll both be punished."

"The market is so big, it should care about its reputation, right? You're tarnishing the market's image. Do you think the management won't fire you to protect the market's reputation?"

"I'm losing money, but you're probably losing your jobs!"

"Opportunities are something you have to seize yourself. Whether it's worth it or not, you can decide for yourselves. If it really comes to that, none of us will be in a good place. Why don't we each take a step back?"

Ye Chen, with his silver tongue, launched into an analysis.

The administrator's expression changed drastically upon hearing the last part.

Thinking about the leader's temper, she became even more certain of Ye Chen's statement.

The wholesale market has just been established, and at this critical juncture, if there are any hidden problems in the management positions, it's tantamount to tarnishing the reputation of the entire market!

In name only, they were working for those in power.

But if something really goes wrong, would those leaders care about a lowly nobody?

In the end, the leader got his revenge, but he still had to take the blame.

Why risk your life for someone when you only make fifty yuan a month?

Let's protect ourselves first!

"Brother, what does 'taking a step back' mean?"

"Simple. I have a hundred yuan here, brothers. Take it and go back for some tea!"

Ye Chen pulled out a thick stack of 100-yuan notes from his pocket, which was so large it was dazzling to the eye.

"You work hard all day, but how much do you actually get in your pocket?"

"I won't say anything about this money, and neither will you; consider it a reward for the brothers!"

"Let's be friends from now on. If the deal falls through, you might get a few words from your boss, but the money will still be in your pockets. It's not like you're losing out, is it?"

In his previous life, Ye Chen rose from the bottom, so he naturally understood the difficulties of ordinary employees.

You work diligently and conscientiously your whole life, but once you're abandoned by your boss, all your hard work is worth less than a single word from them.

This statement directly hit the administrator's weak spot.

Who would refuse a chance to avoid being used as cannon fodder and still get benefits?

"Brother, my name is Liu Zhe. Next time you come to the market, just look for me, and I'll arrange a seat for you!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the administrator reached out and discreetly stuffed a stack of ten-yuan bills into his pocket.

Immediately afterwards, he even addressed Ye Chen as a brother.

She even led Ye Chen to the most popular stall.

"Ye Chen, you're really something!"

Seeing this change, Tian Cong admired Ye Chen even more.

With just a few words, the administrator was subdued without bloodshed.

Ye Chen's skills are truly impressive!

"Brother Cong, don't be so happy yet. Let's hurry up and sell all the fish, get the money first!"

"Time is of the essence, you pack the fish, I'll handle the bill!"

Ye Chen knew that the administrator would report the situation after returning.

The leaders who were bribed by Zhang Shaoyang will certainly not let this go.

If I were to personally intervene, it would definitely be more troublesome.

Only by acting quickly and clearing out the fish before the leader arrives can the other party, even if they want to cause trouble, be rendered powerless and furious.

……

Market Management Department, Director's Office.

Liu Zhe, accompanied by another administrator, approached Director Zhang Hongliang to complain.

"Boss, that kid's tough to deal with!"

"A few words from you have stirred up public sentiment, putting us in an awkward position. My brother is also afraid of damaging our market reputation, so we really don't dare to take a hard line!"

"This kid seems to have some skill."

"No wonder he offended my nephew; he's definitely no ordinary person."

Zhang Hongliang muttered to himself.

It turned out that he was the second uncle that Zhang Shaoyang had respectfully addressed on the phone.

The thought of his nephew being bullied, especially since he was just a country bumpkin, was unbearable.

Zhang Hongliang frowned and said, "You two lead the way, I want to check the situation myself!"

"I refuse to believe I can't handle a country bumpkin!"

……

Ten minutes later, Zhang Hongliang, led by Liu Zhe, arrived at the market.

Unfortunately, Ye Chen and Tian Cong had long since disappeared.

After making some inquiries, I finally learned the truth.

The fish that Ye Chen brought were of exceptionally high quality and at a very low price.

They sold out very quickly.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Hongliang stomped his foot angrily, feeling furious at the thought of that country bumpkin getting away.

Liu Zhe, standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Chen was a smart man; knowing that Zhang Hongliang was coming back, he went ahead first.

As long as he can't catch the culprit, Zhang Hongliang will have no choice but to let the matter drop.

Today, I've managed to survive a close call!

……

Outside the market.

A secluded place.

After counting the banknotes, Ye Chen handed a thick stack of them to Tian Cong beside him.

"Brother Cong, we agreed beforehand that we'd split it in half. This is your share, a total of 1760. Count it!"

Tian Cong took the money, his face slightly flushed, and without saying a word, he took out half of it.

"Ye Chen, you really put in a lot of effort this time. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died yesterday."

"I'd be ashamed to accept half; you have to take the lion's share!"

"Brother Cong, let's take it slow and steady. We'll be dealing with each other more often than this. Are you going to make me go back on my word?"

Ye Chen, however, remained resolute in his stance, insisting on the allocation and even asking questions in return.

"Unless, you don't want to work with me anymore?"

"No way!" Tian Cong quickly shook his head and praised him.

"Brother, to be honest, following you these past two days has really opened my eyes."

"This is the first time I've ever seen money made so easily. That's over a thousand dollars, more than two years' salary for a full-time employee!"

At today's market price, nine hundred yuan is enough to build a brick house.

It still has the same solid materials and spacious rooms!

The two made enough money to build two brick houses in a single transaction. Anyone would be as shocked as Iruda Satoshi!

"I was just lucky this time, but if anything good happens again, I'll definitely let you know, Cong-ge!"

Ye Chen smiled modestly and then made the arrangements.

"Okay, Brother Cong, I still have some things to take care of, you can go back first."

"By the way, prepare yourself for what's to come. I might need to contact you again soon. If you have any trouble, try your best to resolve it."
