The new student frowned upon hearing Xia Ruhui’s words.
As for what she was thinking, only she knew, but this girl named Xia Ruhui was truly cunning. Was she trying to make her look like a fool?
Anyone with a bit of sense could guess what this was about. It seemed there was enmity between this person and the student mentioned in her words.
Just as Xia Ruhui was performing with dedication, the door of room 307.0 swung open, and in came the charming and lively Zhang Zhaodi, who originally came to find Shen Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing Xia Ruhui’s words, she thought they were taken out of context. She assumed it was about the previous incident in room 306 that Xia Ruhui overheard, so she helped complete what Xia Ruhui had left out.
Nearly infuriating Xia Ruhui.
However, the people in dorm room 307.0 overheard a big scoop. In her attempt to clear her name, Xia Ruhui outright sold out Qiao Shanmei, resulting in everyone in room 307.0 being wary of Qiao Shanmei afterward.
Qiao Shanmei, waiting downstairs for Xia Ruhui to back her up, never expected to be completely sold out instead. Her daydream shattered without her even realizing it.
Little did she know, things would become even more awkward when she returned upstairs.
Xinyan urgently headed out because she had arranged to deliver a batch of goods today with Zhang Daliang from the black market.
The location was selected in a grove ten miles outside Jing University, where there was an abandoned house that Xinyan found by chance. It’s quite secluded and seldom visited.
The most crucial part was that a path led from there to a main road, making it not easily discovered while also being conveniently accessible.
The items for the transaction were pre-determined, and after Xinyan arrived, she set things up. To be safe, she had previously gone to the suburbs to buy a flat cart from someone.
She pushed a cartload of grain, changing into different pairs of shoes with different sizes to create fake tracks back and forth. This location was only meant for this one transaction.
She had now found a better trading spot in the city, which was not only more secluded but also paved entirely with cobblestones, eliminating the need for elaborate setup.
This batch of goods included bicycles, radios, watches, sewing machines, the fashionable clothes from the South, and, of course, a batch of grain.
Just as she finished setting up, she heard a commotion outside. Peeking through the door crack, she saw Zhang Daliang himself leading people to collect the goods. Only when they approached did she open the door.
Zhang Daliang was straightforward, and since they had collaborated a few times before, Xinyan found it convenient not to look for anyone else and stuck with him for delivering the goods.
Because Xinyan was always particularly cautious, Zhang Daliang always believed there was someone powerful behind her. He thought it was impossible for her to manage this alone. Even if she could, these were rare goods, likely not something she could obtain by herself, so Zhang Daliang was very respectful of Xinyan and never asked about the source of the goods.
Thus, after Zhang Daliang’s subordinates finished counting the goods, the transaction was completed quickly.
This time, there was not only cash but also a small case of gold bars. Zhang Daliang, a bit embarrassed, said, "Big sis, I’m sorry. My brothers recently bought a piece of land down south, leaving our funds a bit tight, so I privately decided to settle the balance with gold bars. I hope you don’t mind."
Xinyan opened it for a look, took an item in her hand, inspected it, and said, "It’s alright, it’s nothing major."
Seeing that Xinyan was satisfied, Zhang Daliang instructed his men to count the number of sacks for the grain and had them bring the empty replacement sacks before signaling, "Load the goods onto the truck."
