Father is a villainous Buddhist disciple? He'll just be beaten into the light of the righteous

Shen Jiyuan had never been to a wholesale market before. After all, he hadn't started from scratch. Although he had trained at the grassroots level when he first joined the Shen Group, he didn't need to run around the market.

However, once he entered the wholesale market, the environment was much worse than he had imagined.

Although the interior was very clean, the space was small and cramped. As soon as you stepped inside, a hot, dry breeze hit you, making the air feel stuffy.

The germaphobic Shen Jiyuan unconsciously frowned.

However, he knew why he was there, so he didn't say anything.

Instead, he asked Liang Yun for another mask and put it on Shen Ji, saying, "The air in here isn't good, so wear it properly."

Shen Ji blinked and obediently put the mask on his face.

"Boss, wanna take a look at some toys?"

The shop owner next door greeted him warmly, but Shen Jiyuan turned his head and glanced at him. He didn't see any Ultraman-related toys in the area.

Shen Jiyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Ji with feigned nonchalance, asking, "Want to take a look?"

Shen Ji immediately understood and pouted, saying, "Daddy, there's no Ultraman here, but I want Ultraman!"

Shen Jiyuan raised his eyes and smiled slightly at the boss, "Excuse me, my son wants to look at something else."

The boss was quite cheerful, laughing and saying, "Kids all like Ultraman, that's normal."

"But this area doesn't have the Ultraman toys you're talking about." The shopkeeper pointed ahead and said, "Go out from here, turn right, and go to the second floor of section three. That's where they sell these kinds of toys."

"And all sorts of airplanes and cannons."

"If you want to buy Ultraman, you have to go over there."

Shen Jiyuan nodded gratefully, "Thank you."

The boss looked Shen Jiyuan up and down. Although the man was wearing a mask, judging from his clothes and demeanor, he felt that he was not an ordinary person.

He had thought this person would be aloof, like the domineering CEOs in novels who would demand people be buried with them at the drop of a hat.

Unexpectedly, this new dad was so easy to talk to.

He thought to himself.

Hey.

I guess I've been watching too many melodramatic TV dramas. There aren't that many crazy men in real life.

The boss also became enthusiastic, smiling and saying, "What are you thanking me for? Your child is three years old, right? He's about the same age as my nephew, and he's so cute."

Shen Jiyuan sighed, "He's only behaving well now. He's a real handful at home, it's exhausting."

"He's just a kid, be normal." The shopkeeper tore a balloon off his stall and handed it to Shen Ji. "Here, this is for Xiao Bao to play with."

Shen Jiyuan said politely, "How can that be? I'll still give you the money..."

"No need," the shopkeeper waved his hand magnanimously. "It's just a balloon, it's not worth much."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiyuan no longer stood on ceremony and said with a smile, "Then thank you, boss."

The boss waved his hand.

Seeing that the relationship had been established sufficiently, Shen Jiyuan casually asked, "Big brother, are the toys here sold in sections?"

"Yes." The older brother looked at him and asked, "Brother, are you here to buy some goods?"

Shen Jiyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I just want to do some small business to support my family."

The older brother nodded with deep feeling, "It's not easy to make money these days, everyone has a tough time."

Shen Jiyuan agreed, saying, "My son is a big fan of Ultraman. I heard that this market has the most complete selection of toys, so I came to take a look."

He paused, then asked, "Brother, are all the Ultraman-related toys in this market located in Section 3?"

The older brother nodded. "Yes, this is a legitimate market. Ultraman figurines require copyright, so they're all concentrated there. If you really want to sell one, you can go over there and take a look."

Shen Jiyuan and Zhao Tong exchanged a silent glance.

"Okay, I'll go take a look. Thanks, big brother." Shen Jiyuan patted Shen Ji's head. "Say thank you to your uncle."

Shen Ji waved the balloon in her hand and said sweetly, "Uncle, thank you for the balloon."

The older brother smiled and waved to them, "Then you should go ahead."

After saying goodbye to the boss, Shen Jiyuan and his group headed straight for District Three.

Sure enough, this place was almost entirely filled with all sorts of machinery and figurines/toys.

Even though Shen Ji disdained toys, his eyes still lit up when he saw those incredibly realistic toy guns.

Shen Jiyuan found it strange; it was the first time he had ever seen Shen Ji's face show interest in something else.

"You want it?" he asked.

"I don't really want it."

He just thought it looked somewhat familiar.

Shen Jiyuan snorted, "You're just saying that. Fine, I know you want it. I'll buy it for you in a bit."

Shen Ji: "..."

Zhao Tong smiled and patted Shen Ji's head. "Little Ji, you've done your uncle such a big favor today. I'll buy it for you later. Just tell me what you want."

Shen Ji blinked and asked, "Anything?"

Zhao Tong nodded. "Of course."

Shen Ji quickly raised his hand, "Uncle, then buy me a bunch of gold bars, I love gold so much~~~"

Zhao Tong: "..."

Shen Jiyuan laughed heartily and gave Shen Ji a thumbs up, "Good son, great job!"

Zhao Tong said irritably, "When did you two become so close?"

Shen Jiyuan said smugly, "Stop trying to sow discord. How could you, an outsider, possibly understand the relationship between us, father and son?"

Zhao Tong: "..."

Fine, he's an outsider.

After wandering around Zone 3 for a while, the group found a less crowded shop in a corner near the edge and went inside.

The shop owner, a middle-aged woman in her forties, noticed Shen Jiyuan's attire and her eyes lit up. She stood up from her stool and greeted him warmly, "Boss, buying toys for your child?"

Zhao Tong casually sat down on the sofa next to him. "We're here to buy some goods."

Upon hearing this, the shop owner's eyes lit up even more. "Buying stock? Then you've come to the right place! My prices are definitely cheaper than other stores, and you can get a discount if you buy in bulk!"

"Really?" Zhao Tong said with a smile. "That's great."

He pointed at Shen Jiyuan, "This is our boss. As long as your goods meet our requirements, we can pick them up now."

"Sigh, our store is newly opened, and we haven't been able to find a suitable supplier yet."

"Boss lady, you seem like a pretty nice person. If the quality and price of your stuff are right, then long-term cooperation is definitely possible."

The proprietress smiled and said, "That's great! You can see for yourselves what you need. I have samples of all my products in the store. We can talk about the price after you've chosen what you like."

Zhao Tong and Shen Jiyuan exchanged a glance. Zhao Tong smiled and pointed to Shen Ji in the stroller, saying, "This is our boss's son. He likes Ultraman."

"She's been making a fuss at home wanting Ultraman."

"Sigh." Zhao Tong sighed, "My boss dotes on his son, there's nothing I can do about it."

"That's why I'm planning to open a toy store for this little guy to play with."

"Don't worry, boss lady, money isn't a problem."

"Our young master wants to play with this toy himself, so the quality must be the best."

"I heard there's a batch of goods here that's selling very well, do you have any?"

The proprietress was taken aback. "You're not talking about that batch of goods from Lingdu, are you?"
