He lit a cigarette and looked around, not seeing anyone within a hundred meters. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and the discarded electrical appliances instantly disappeared from the spot, leaving only their storage space in the system.

After finishing his cigarette, Ye Chuan returned to the business point humming a song.

Just at this time, the truck of the Second Electronics Factory stopped outside the door, and Fatty Han got out of the passenger seat. "Brother Ye, you are driving really fast!" Fatty Han said in a muffled voice. "Not bad." Ye Chuan smiled slightly, handed the flatbed truck to the other party, and then went upstairs to find Director Tang.

Director Tang is accustomed to this and is not disturbed.

Previously, large trucks had moved the goods three times, but now it was only moved once, which was not within his concern.

However, when he heard that the truck belonged to the Second Electronics Factory in Beijing, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This is a popular manufacturer in Beijing. It mainly produces fans and radios. It even has the ability to produce televisions, but it lacks the corresponding production line.

He had not expected that Ye Chuan had some connection with the Second Electronics Factory. What puzzled him was that Ye Chuan had an unfathomable background. Why did he choose to come here to run a material recycling point?

Which of these factories can't compare to the environment here? Are the opportunities for promotion worse than here? Director Tang pondered in his heart, the salary and benefits are probably not much higher. If he were in other factories, Ye Chuan would definitely not only get a bonus of 60 yuan. Could it be that his purpose is to collect waste?

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems. This guy is really good at handling things and is quite shrewd to be able to get this bonus without breaking any rules.

The colleagues at the point were already accustomed to it. The scenes of large trucks loaded with supplies being weighed in an orderly manner now seemed as normal as the wind passing by without leaving a trace. Only Deputy Team Leader Tan had a rather solemn expression on his face.

Fatty Han smiled happily with his mouth wide open. In his eyes, the waste in each truck was equivalent to money.

After her sister Han Lifen learned that Ye Chuan had won a prize of 300 yuan, she kept reminding herself to learn more from Brother Ye.

Never hesitate and always stand on the side of Ye Chuan's supporters.

Among the Han brothers, Ye Chuan is undoubtedly the only one who has never bullied the fat man.

Although he looks honest, he knows deep down that he treats the fat man like his own brother.

The mother was extremely happy about the 300 yuan. She gave Fatty Han an extra 37 yuan in pocket money for the first time and asked Han Lifen to buy him a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes for him to enjoy.

After work, Ye Chuan stepped into the supply and marketing cooperative next door again.

Han Lifen was very enthusiastic about the virtue of her brother's wife. She was her brother's lucky star, so of course she had to take good care of her. "Sister, are there any good things in the supply and marketing cooperative today?" Ye Chuan asked.

Han Lifen smiled and said, "You are so lucky. There are some fresh carps just loaded into the car. I will help you pick out a big one."

Nodding, Ye Chuan randomly chose a seat and sat down.

He was already familiar with everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative and felt comfortable here, just like at home. The supply and marketing cooperative and the material recycling point belonged to the same organization, so no one paid too much attention to him.

After a while, Han Lifen came in with a big carp weighing three pounds. There was a straw rope hanging on the fish's mouth, and it was still jumping around.

After paying the money to Han Lifen, the two left. "Fatty, where's the cigarette? Lend me one." Ye Chuan asked.

Fatty Han took out a pack of unopened Daqianmen cigarettes and handed it to the other party.

Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment and joked, "Not bad, your small body has turned into a high-end product!" He took the cigarette box with a smile and teased.

The fat man laughed: "I gave all my salary this month to my mother, and she bought one out of joy.

Brother Ye, I'll leave this box for you to smoke."

"Thank you!" Ye Chuan did not refuse. He took out one, put it in his mouth, and put it in his pocket.

After parting at the fork in the alley, Ye Chuan walked all the way home.

He found an empty spot and took out fifty eggs from the secret space of the system. He held them in his hands. The beauty of the items in his hands immediately attracted all eyes on the road.

Walking in the streets and alleys, he was such a conspicuous presence - a luxurious figure holding a three-pound carp in his left hand and a basket full of eggs in his right hand.

The moment he entered the courtyard, Yan Bugui, who was smoking outside the door, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the supplies in Ye Chuan's hand with envy. "Xiao Ye, did you buy all of this?" The reversed question was tinged with jealousy.

Ye Chuan responded sarcastically with a tone of anger, "Isn't it stolen by me?"

Yan Bugui smiled bitterly and said, "Ah, office workers are really not simple. They can afford fresh fish and eggs."

It is now the end of the Great Depression. Compared with previous years, there has been a slight improvement, but there is still a shortage of material things, and being satisfied with just enough food and clothing is already a luxury.

The Yan family cannot even think of eating fish balls as a luxury.

Yan Bugui was somewhat complacent about his abilities. He supported his family with his meager salary and also supported his children in their studies. Although their life was simple, no one went hungry.

Seeing the envy in the children's eyes, Ye Chuan's departing back made them feel itchy. "Dad, we want to eat carp too!"

Yan Bugui said unhappily, "Do you think I look like a carp? Why don't you just put me in the pot and cook it?"

When walking into the compound, Ye Chuan deliberately slowed down his pace and staggered as he carried the heavy object.

Humph, I just want to whet your appetite. There's no need to wait for you to cause trouble. It's more fun if I take the initiative.

Jia Dongxu was sitting at the doorstep of his house, chatting with Jia Zhang beside him, while Yi Zhonghai was talking to Jia Dongxu intermittently.

Just as they were talking, they happened to see Ye Chuan walking past them carrying a big carp and a bag of eggs.

Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi had not had anything oily or fried food for almost a month. They had nothing in their stomachs except steamed bread and rotten vegetables. When they saw so many eggs, greed immediately showed in their mouths.

Yi Zhonghai was puzzled. There were at least dozens of eggs in a bag. How could he, a rag collector, afford such expenses? But he knew that Liu Haizhong's previous incident was still fresh in his mind. If the food came from a legitimate source, he, as the uncle, would be in a very delicate situation. "Ye Chuan, what's that in your hand?" Jia Dongxu asked as he sat on the chair. He was indignant as to why his family was living a good life now.

Ye Chuan stopped, glanced at Jia Dongxu coldly, and said sarcastically: "I see your legs are broken, or are you blind and can't tell the difference between a carp and an egg?"

Jia Dongxu was most afraid of his leg injury, and he was furious. "Huizi, what did you just say?" Liu Yue heard the quarrel, ran out in a hurry, looked at his son and asked.

Ye Chuan handed the things to his mother and said, "Mom, I just bought a big carp and eggs. Please take them home first."

Liu Yue took the things, and then Ye Chuan slowly approached Jia Dongxu and said in a serious tone: "What did you say just now? Repeat it again?"

Jia Zhang on the side was dissatisfied: "Ye Chuan, do you still want to take action?"

Jia Dongxu used to be the little overlord of this compound. He was always arbitrary and dictatorial. Seeing that he was angered, he replied without saying a word: "I called you a little bastard, and you are still angry?"

Ye Chuan sneered, raised his hand and slapped Jia Dongxu's face fiercely: "Pa!" The courtyard was instantly quiet. "Be careful when talking to me. So what if you have a crippled leg? Do you think you can still be the same Jia Dongxu as before?" He deliberately used harsh words.

Looking back, Jia Dongxu had laughed at his family for many things, but at that time, he had chosen to endure it like his father. "You!" Jia Dongxu covered his face and stared at him angrily, but he was too angry to speak. "Ye Chuan, how dare you hit my son?" Jia Zhang immediately got angry and prepared to use violence.

Ye Chuan pointed directly at Jia Zhang and said, "You can try if you want, but don't forget, I'm not afraid of you here."

Although Yi Zhonghai was a good man in the compound, he still tried to dissuade them: "Ye Chuan, this is our compound, how can we fight?"

"Yi Zhonghai, why didn't you say anything when Jia Dongxu scolded me just now? Are you short of a son? I wonder if you are short of a father?" Ye Chuan responded sharply and mercilessly.

The noise in the compound attracted the curious attention of Sha Zhu and his sister He Yu Shui.

He Yushui was originally neutral, knowing that any dispute would most likely be related to the Jia family; but Sha Zhu was different, he firmly stood on the side of Yi Zhonghai and the Jia family, because he was loyal to Qin Huairu, and any enemy who touched his lover would become Sha Zhu's opponent. "Ye Chuan, how can you talk to your elders?"

Now Ye Chuan's eloquence and martial arts are beyond the norm, coupled with his past obsession with the TV plot, he has no good feelings for Sha Zhu and simply treats him as ordinary. "Sha Zhu, have you really forgotten about beating you up?" Seeing that everyone was quiet, Ye Chuan chose to leave first.

In his opinion, it would be better to lie down comfortably than to waste time in this small courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai was shaking with anger. At this time, Sha Zhu approached with a gloomy face: "Uncle, we need to find a way to deal with Ye Chuan."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly, but his mind was stuck on how to act.

Looking at Jia Dongxu, he felt resentful about this. If it weren't for those private transactions, they might not have fallen into their current predicament, let alone let Ye Chuan be so arrogant?

Jia Zhang was also very angry, mainly because of the huge difference in quality of life between her family and the Ye family. The food the Ye family ate was like delicacies, while theirs was as crude as raising pigs. "Hey, the villain is so proud! There must be something fishy about the source of all his wealth.

How can a rag collector be worthy of enjoying fish and eggs? " A plan suddenly flashed through his mind, and Yi Zhonghai remembered the method he was good at using - moral sanctions!

Seeing that the Jia family was having a hard time, Qin Huairu's income last month was only 13 yuan. Now that the street office was encouraging mutual assistance, how could Ye Chuan ignore this suggestion? So he decided to hold a general meeting in the evening, standing on the moral high ground to call on the courtyard members to help the Jia family. If Ye Chuan donated money, there would be nothing to say, but if not, he would be left alone. "Aunt Jia, you guys go back home first. There will be a meeting tonight to discuss assistance matters." This would not only give the Jia family something to rely on, but also allow them to reap the benefits.

Becoming the first wife of the Ye family, a goal he has pursued for many years, will also be within his grasp.

After Yi Zhonghai was told all this, he sighed deeply and went home with his hands behind his back.

When Ye Chuan heard about the party at home, he was not panicked. He assisted his mother in cooking in an orderly manner until all the dishes were ready.

Just as they raised their chopsticks, Yi Zhonghai knocked on the door and announced the order to open a school meeting.

Ye Yongshun and Liu Yue were both anxious, but Ye Chuan was not unusual. "Mom, let's continue eating and let them wait." He also filled his father's glass with wine and enjoyed the leisurely dinner atmosphere.

Ye Yongshun relied on his son to become the team leader of the moving team. Under the influence of his son's ideas, he also calmed down.

As a traditional housewife, Liu Yue follows the principle that the husband is the leader of the wife and the son is her life. Since her husband and son are not in a hurry, she naturally swallows slowly.

The neighbors gathered in the courtyard and waited for several minutes but no one from the Ye family showed up.

Yi Zhonghai suggested to Yan Bugui: "Let's go and see what happened to the Ye family."

Yan Bugui adjusted his glasses, then followed Yi Zhonghai closely, watching the two men's actions, his eyes full of jealousy through his bangs.

Today's conference no longer has him at the center.

Yi Zhonghai stood at the door of the Ye family and happened to see Ye Yongshun enjoying a glass of wine. He became more and more unhappy: "Brother Ye, we have just notified you of the meeting, why are you still eating? This is a violation of discipline!"

At this moment, he saw the dining table at Ye Jia's home and his saliva flowed out involuntarily.

On the table were braised carp with sauce, scrambled eggs and Chinese cabbage with vinegar. The staple food was white flour steamed buns, and there were five or six of them on the plate, the kind that people could eat as they pleased.

Yan Bugui really didn't want to speak up. Compared with the eating conditions of a loader and a scrap recycler, his treatment as a teacher was simply a world of difference. Who could he complain to?

"Finish eating quickly! The neighbors are waiting!" Yi Zhonghai urged harshly.

Ye Chuan lowered his chopsticks and said in an unhappy tone: "What right do you have to say such things to me? The meeting seriously interferes with my family's rest time. If you are willing to wait, you can arrange it yourself. If you don't want to, don't blame us." After that, he picked up his chopsticks again and slowly enjoyed his dinner.

Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the atmosphere would get out of control, so he had to follow Yan Bugui back to the yard, where he sat on a chair and drank tea to calm down.

Fifteen minutes later, the Ye family walked out slowly. Ye Chuan still had a toothpick on his mouth and kept sucking on his lips.

Seeing their appearance, Yi Zhonghai was furious but there was nothing he could do.

The full-house meeting was a temporary decision and was not notified in advance, so it is not wrong for others not to come.

The old lady's hearing was not very good. She had been in the yard for more than ten minutes. She opened her eyes and stared at the three people with dissatisfaction.

Seeing that everyone had gathered, Yi Zhonghai said, "I invited you all here to discuss something.

Recently, the street called on all the courtyard houses in the area to participate in the neighbor mutual assistance activities. Our courtyard has always been a model, so we naturally cannot fall behind this time and must set an example for other courtyard houses! "

He set the tone and would initiate donations after a long speech. Could Ye Chuan have any reason to object? Unless he was going against all the residents of the courtyard and the street office.

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Chuan again.
