Chapter 355: 355 was intercepted (An additional chapter for 10,000 book coins from the cat who hates to bathe) Chapter 355: 355 was intercepted (An additional chapter for 10,000 book coins from the cat who hates to bathe) “Of course,” Luo Ranran assured, “I just don’t know specifically what you need, but I can get everything for you. It’s just the money…”
Ye Jiu sneered, “I’m still out traveling, my own safety is a concern, I don’t need any supplies for now. Let’s talk about the trade when I return in a few months.”
“A few months?” Luo Ranran panicked, “Don’t do this, sis, I’m counting on doing more business to pay off my debts. And right now, you’re the only friend I can do business with. If you don’t trade with me, I’m afraid it won’t be long before those creditors take over my place!”
“Is it that serious?” Ye Jiu was somewhat skeptical of Luo Ranran’s words.
“These are all debts incurred when my family went bankrupt, amounting to several hundred million. Even the Plane Space can’t cover this hole, otherwise why would I be haggling with you over every little thing if I had this big Golden Finger to count on!” Luo Ranran spoke frankly.
Owing so much money, she really was quite pitiful.
They would definitely be doing a lot of business together in the future, and the most Ye Jiu had were materials that could be exchanged for money.
So, Ye Jiu decided that when she could help, she should lend a hand. After all, there might come a time when she would need help from others!
“Food, clothing, housing, and transport are all fine. We both understand each other’s planes well enough, so you can arrange that as you see fit. However, I’ll have to inspect the goods before paying, so it’s best you don’t try to swindle me. Otherwise…” Ye Jiu threatened. She was well aware of the price of goods in both planes; Luo Ranran could deceive others by inflating prices, but not her, not in the slightest.
“Don’t worry, sis, as long as it’s not something regulated by the state, things for eating, drinking and entertainment are easy to procure. I’ll contact those factories tomorrow; all the goods are sent directly from them, and I absolutely won’t scam you on prices,” Luo Ranran said with a smile.
Luo Ranran was the first person Ye Jiu had seen who had access to a Plane Space but still managed to be in such a dire situation.
Even Suishang was in a terrible state now, but he was involved in shady dealings. If he disappeared from the world one day, it would mean one less troublemaker. But Luo Ranran was just an ordinary girl who hadn’t done anything bad.
Seeing how stingy Luo Ranran was, it was likely she didn’t have much capital to order goods either.
Ye Jiu selected two pieces of jade rough the size of stools from those sent over by Cha, both of which were exposed rough stones; unless one was incredibly unlucky, it was unlikely they would only cut open to reveal mere white stones.
After sending the two pieces of rough to Luo Ranran, she was ecstatic.
Just before leaving, Ye Jiu added, “By the way, help me procure a set of machinery for polishing jade that can run on batteries, or get me a small generator if possible.”
“Got it, understood,” Luo Ranran waved happily as she replied.
As they passed a mountain, they were suddenly stopped by people.
Lu Biaotou explained that these men were the local ‘forest heroes,’ which basically meant they were robbers.
Both Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng were encountering this situation for the first time; both felt a surge of tension. However, after Lu Biaotou made a few gestures to them, the robbers lowered their swords and blades.
Then, Lu Biaotou threw a bag of Silver their way, and only then were they granted the right to pass.
Ye Jiu gave Ye Wenzheng a look, signaling him to take the Silver and return it to Lu Biaotou. All the merchandise was hers, so there was no reason for Lu Biaotou to have to pay for passage.
