"Mr. Lin, arrangements have been made for Tongtong to go to school. Do you think our property management company will be responsible for picking up and dropping off?"
Wang Quan reported the situation to Lin Ye.
As early as yesterday, after Tongtong became a teacher, Lin Ye asked Wang Quan about the issue of transferring schools. As a result, Wang Quan directly took over, saying that he could handle it and it was the elementary school closest to the community.
In fact, Lin Ye only needed to talk to Zhong Shan about this kind of thing, but since Wang Quan took care of it, he didn't bother Zhong Shan.
What Lin Ye didn't notice was that when he raised this matter, Zhong Shan looked at Wang Quan who had taken the lead, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he had the intention to kill Wang Quan.
"Is your property management company responsible for picking up and dropping off children?"
"General communities certainly don't do it, but our community is different. You, the property owners, pay a lot of property fees every year, and picking up and dropping off your children is also within our service scope."
Listening to Wang Quan's answer, Lin Ye looked a little embarrassed. It seemed that he hadn't paid the property fee yet.
Sure enough, as long as you have money, all services are available.
"Although the cars used to pick up and drop off children in our community cannot compare with the nanny cars of some owners, they are not bad either. The most important thing is that we arrange two security guards to accompany them every time, so the safety of the children is guaranteed."
"Okay, I'll bother you then."
Lin Ye initially thought about letting Tongtong come back on his own. Wasn't this how he studied when he was a child?
But then he thought about it, times are different now. There weren't that many cars on the road at that time. He took Tongtong as his apprentice and had to be responsible for Tongtong and Tongtong's parents.
"Thank you, Uncle Wang." Tongtong on the side also said his thanks very sensibly.
"Tongtong is good."
Wang Quan touched Tongtong's head. This boy was so handsome that people couldn't help but want to touch him. The most important thing was that he was well-behaved and sensible. No wonder Mr. Lin would accept him as his apprentice. It's a pity that he doesn't have a daughter, otherwise...
"You go and play with the children in the community first. The teacher has to go out."
Chen Shanghan's son also came yesterday. After paying homage to his teacher, Lin Ye asked Bangbang to take Tongtong to play and get to know other children in the community. Unexpectedly, Tongtong was very popular with children. Later, Lin Ye
Ye discovered that Chen Shanghan's son Bangbang came back with a pout on his lips.
The reason is also very simple. The little girl who took Bangbang to follow Chen Shanghan was very enthusiastic about Tongtong. Bangbang was jealous.
However, Lin Ye noticed that Tongtong was relatively introverted. Most of the time, the little girl was laughing and chatting away, while Tongtong pursed her lips and said nothing.
What a cold young lady.
Lin Ye knew that this was related to Tongtong's childhood. He had been suffering from illness for a long time, so that Tongtong lacked a happy childhood, had few friends around him, and might even have some low self-esteem. If this kind of character is not good, children must have
The liveliness and naughtiness of a child.
Tongtong frowned when he heard about going out to play. It was obvious that he was not used to playing with his peers.
"You have to have a good relationship with the children. This is what the teacher requires of you."
Seeing Tongtong's frown, Lin Ye gave the order directly, and then went out regardless of Tongtong's troubled expression.
He was going to buy medicinal materials for Tongtong's medicinal bath.
Buying medicine at the pharmacy was already a familiar thing for Lin Ye. He had bought a lot of medicinal materials in order to practice Hu Xiaojin, and he was also very familiar with the people in the pharmacy.
After ordering the medicinal materials, Lin Ye was about to leave, but his attention was attracted by a boy who walked in.
This was a boy with darker skin and a thin build. He was carrying a snakeskin bag. After entering the store, he put the snakeskin bag down, took a breath of hot air into his hands, and then said to him: "Boss, I've brought the medicinal ingredients.
"
"What kind of medicinal materials are there?"
The manager of the pharmacy came over with a smile. It was obvious that this was not the first time this boy had come here to sell medicinal materials.
The boy didn't waste any time and poured out the medicinal materials from the snakeskin bag. When the manager and several store clerks saw the medicinal materials poured out, several of them exclaimed.
"Where did you pick all this from?"
"You have entered the medicine cave, right?"
It’s no wonder these shop assistants exclaimed that many of the medicinal materials poured out of the boys’ snakeskin bags were precious medicinal materials, and the most important thing was that they were obviously of some age judging from their size.
The boy pursed his lips and did not answer. He just looked at the manager, who had an embarrassed expression on his face and said: "Your medicinal materials look good, but it is difficult to judge whether they are wild. Moreover, there are regulations now. Our pharmacy only
I can go to the medicinal materials market to purchase goods."
After hearing the manager's words, the boy's expression changed and he became a little anxious: "Didn't we accept it before?"
"It's the past, but this is a new regulation, and there's nothing we can do about it." The manager looked helpless.
"I can sell it to you cheaper."
"It's not that it's cheap or not, it's that it doesn't comply with the rules, so..."
"Since the pharmacy won't accept it, then sell it to me."
Lin Ye, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke. His words made the manager stunned. The boy was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really, boss, you want these medicinal materials?"
"Well, I want them all."
Lin Ye nodded, but the manager quit at this time and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, this is not good."
The reason why he said this was actually because he wanted to eat these medicinal materials from boys at low prices. Regarding Chinese medicinal materials, there were no such regulations at all. In the past, the medicinal materials sent by boys were not worth a few dollars, so he also
I don't care anymore.
But this time when he looked at the pieces of Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum, he became jealous. The most important thing was that they were wild.
Wild and cultivated, the prices vary from day to day.
If these medicinal materials were purchased by a pharmacy, they would probably be worth thirty to fifty thousand dollars, but if he took them and sold them to customers who needed them, they would definitely be worth one hundred thousand dollars.
As a pharmacy manager, he has a lot of customer resources at hand, so he doesn't have to worry about having nowhere to sell.
His original plan was to send the boy away, then call his friend, ask his friend to contact the boy and accept the boy in private, for a few thousand yuan.
As for whether this would cause losses to the pharmacy, he didn't care. The pharmacy belonged to the company, but these employees were his confidants and would not report to the company. After the medicinal materials were sold, he would give these few
Just one red envelope for each employee is enough.
The manager never expected that Lin Ye would come out halfway.
"What's wrong with this? Your pharmacy can't collect it, so I'll collect it."
Lin Ye glanced at the manager. He could see through the manager's thoughts at a glance. He just wanted to swallow these medicinal materials privately and at a low price.
"I...I mean that although it is not in compliance with the regulations, I will apply to the company and maybe the company will agree."
After being interfered with like this by Lin Ye, the manager knew that his plan to acquire the company privately might be ruined, so naturally he wanted to hire someone from the company at this time, so that it would be considered his performance and he would get a commission.
"What if your company knew what you just said as an excuse for not meeting the acquisition requirements?"
Lin Ye's faint words made the manager shudder. If the head office found out about this, he would definitely be fired.
"Mr. Lin, since you are interested in it, then you can do it."
The manager finally chose his job between his job and commission. Lin Ye was a big customer and he couldn't afford to offend him.
"I asked the pharmacy to collect all the medicinal materials according to the estimate. It's no problem, right?" Lin Ye looked at the boy, who nodded quickly: "No problem, no problem."
Finally, according to calculations by the pharmacist in the pharmacy, these medicinal materials were valued at a total of 50,000 yuan.
Fifty thousand yuan, if based on the selling price of medicinal materials, it would definitely be more than that, but the purchase price is not equal to the selling price.
Lin Ye transferred the money to the boy, and then asked the boy to follow him to the car carrying the snakeskin bag.
"Boss, I've put the trunk in the trunk for you, so I'll leave first."
"Don't worry."
When the boy was about to leave, Lin Ye stopped him.
"Boss, is there anything else?" The boy looked at Lin Ye with some confusion.
"Where did you get this batch of medicinal materials?"
Facing Lin Ye's question, the boy's expression changed, and he was a little embarrassed: "Boss, this is my secret, I can't tell it."
"Let me guess." Lin Ye looked at the boy with a smile on his lips: "These medicinal materials were given to you by others."
"No...no, I dug it from the mountain."
Although the boy denied it, Lin Ye already got the answer from his expression.
"It was dug, where was it dug? If you want to dig this medicinal material, go into the protected forest. Believe it or not, I will call the police now."
"I didn't dig it in the reserve."
The boy was a little excited, but Lin Ye kept a straight face: "It's useless to tell me what you said. Do you think the police believe you?"
"I……"
The boy suddenly turned around and ran away. Lin Ye looked amused. This boy was indeed very fast. If he were an ordinary person, he might not be able to catch up, but it was him he met.
…
Ten minutes later!
The boy stopped when he saw no one behind him. It was such a winter, and his back was soaked with sweat.
The boy paused for a few seconds, and then hurriedly started running again. He had decided not to go into the city for a while.
after an hour.
At the foot of the mountain in the small town below Raocheng, there are a few families. This is a small village built on the mountain. The boy looked at the old house with cooking smoke not far away, and smiled on his face.
However, the smile froze the next moment because a voice came from behind him.
"Your home is quite far away."
The boy turned around and looked at the figure that appeared behind him. He was stunned, and then his expression became full of alertness.
"You...what are you going to do?"
"It's nothing. I've walked such a long way with you. Do you think you should invite me to your house for a cup of tea?"
The person who appeared behind the boy was naturally Lin Ye. He had been following the boy all the way, but the boy didn't notice.
"You are not welcome in our home, please leave quickly!"
The boy showed a fierce expression, but at this moment, a beautiful figure walked out of the house where the smoke was rising.
"Xiaoyu, don't act nonsense."
A pretty girl came out. The girl looked at Lin Ye and said, "Since you are a guest, why don't you come in?"
Under the hostile gaze of the boy, Lin Ye stepped into the house with a calm expression.
An old earthen house from the 1980s.
There was a table on the table, and there were a few wooden boards on the corners of the table. It was not because the legs of the table were uneven, but because the ground was somewhat uneven.
This kind of old house does not have a cement floor. Although the ground is compacted, as time goes by, due to moisture, some of the soil will sink slightly, which means there are small sinkholes.
This kind of old house was Lin Ye's favorite when he was a child. He could play marbles with a few playmates, but at that time, this kind of old house was already abandoned and no one lived in it.
Now it can only be seen from this place near the foot of the mountain.
"Guest, drink tea!"
The girl made tea, which was wild tea grown on the mountain. Lin Ye picked it up with a smile and took a sip, while Hu Yu kept watching him warily.
"Is this your brother?"
"Well, my brother is a little naive because of his young age. Please forgive me if I have offended him in any way."
"Are you two the only ones in your family? I think this village is deserted, why don't you move away? He should be studying at his age."
Lin Ye glanced at Hu Yu. At first glance, this child was not yet an adult. Although his skin was rough and dark, his actual age was no more than sixteen years old.
"I can't study and I've been kicked out of school. Is that okay?" Hu Yu said to Lin Ye: "Where we want to live is our business. Can you control it?"
"Xiaoyu, how can you talk like this!"
The girl's face turned sullen, and Hu Yu kept silent. What he cared about most in this world was his sister, and what he feared most was his sister's anger.
"I think he should study at his age. He can't live in this mountain village all his life, right?" Lin Ye looked at the girl and said meaningfully.
"I tried to persuade him, but Xiaoyu just didn't want to leave."
"The reason why he doesn't want to leave is probably because of you."
As soon as Lin Ye said these words, the girl fell silent.
"We have to separate after all. This may not be a good thing for him. I'll give you a month."
After drinking a cup of tea, Lin Ye stood up, took something out of his pocket and put it on the table: "It's my first time coming here. I didn't bring any gifts, just some thoughts."
"You are an honored guest, how can I accept your gift? Besides, this gift is too expensive."
When the girl saw what Lin Ye put on the table, she had a look of emotion on her face.
"I can't drink your tea in vain."
Lin Ye laughed, ignored Hu Yu's wary eyes, and walked towards the door. At the same time, he said: "If you need help with anything, please come to me."
"Thank you, sir."
The girl bowed far away to Lin Ye. Hu Yu saw Lin Ye leaving and frowned: "Sister, what are you talking to him about? If you need help, we don't know where this person lives."
Looking at her younger brother, the girl touched his head lovingly and said, "Xiaoyu, would you be wronged if I asked you to stay in the village with your sister all the time?"
"Sister, I am not wronged, so I am willing to accompany you. Don't listen to that person's nonsense."
"Okay, sister is ready to cook, you go and eat first."
The girl smiled and asked her brother to go eat. Then she turned around and walked into the room, pulling out a notebook from the drawer in front of the dressing table.
On the first page of the notebook, there was a line of crooked words written in blood.
