CHAPTER 206: CHAPTER 161: RENTING A WAREHOUSE (PART 2)

After Jiang Xin came to her senses, she didn’t care much, after all, now, she thought Lin Ye was a relatively reliable person.

Moreover, Lin Ye owed her a debt of gratitude for saving him, so naturally he wouldn’t cheat her out of money.

So, Jiang Xin thought about it, considering the vegetable market was crowded and chaotic, if she kept that large sum of money in Lin Ye’s pocket the whole time,

like yesterday, when Lin Ye made more than a hundred yuan and was always afraid the money in his pocket would get lost, he handed it to her early out of fear.

It seemed better for her to keep it. Originally, Jiang Xin planned to have Lin Ye hand over the money he made yesterday afternoon along with today’s, but on second thought, that wasn’t good either.

After all, in business, one can’t be distracted. If Lin Ye was constantly worried, afraid the money he earned would be lost or stolen, he wouldn’t be able to sell goods with peace of mind.

Therefore, it seemed better to collect the money in advance.

So Jiang Xin smiled and said to Lin Ye:

"Alright, I was initially thinking of leaving that money with you, but I have some errands to run later, carrying that much cash doesn’t seem very safe."

"But then, remembering how you were afraid yesterday that the money you earned might get stolen, better give it to me first."

Jiang Xin thought, although walking with a large amount of money in her pocket on the streets in these times was indeed unsafe,

but on second thought, what was there to fear, she had her storage space after all.

By the time she took the money from Lin Ye, she would just turn away and stash it into the space. At that point, no one but Jiang Xin could take it out.

That was simply as safe as it could be, with no need to worry about anything else.

If the money inside the space could vanish into thin air, then that truly would be something supernatural.

So she thought about it and then took the money Lin Ye had earned yesterday from his hand.

Once she received that money, Jiang Xin was instantly stunned.

She hadn’t expected the revenue from yesterday afternoon to be so much more than what she had anticipated.

After all, those goods of hers were fixed in quantity, and each item’s price was set by herself, so she had a rough idea of how much could be earned.

But she had never dreamed of making so much, so Jiang Xin looked up at Lin Ye and asked:

"Why is there so much money?"

"What time did you close the stall yesterday? Did you really sell all the goods on the stall?"

When Jiang Xin asked this, her mind was filled with doubt and suspicion, after all, she had run stalls before and understood how difficult it was to sell goods in this kind of vegetable market.

Moreover, the goods she brought yesterday were not a small amount, if Lin Ye had truly sold them all.

That would indeed be too exhausting.

Even though she was paying him a monthly salary of sixty yuan, which was a very decent income for this era, it made her feel a bit guilty for making him work late into the night.

When Jiang Xin looked at Lin Ye, her gaze became a bit complicated in an instant.

So when Jiang Xin asked, her tone was somewhat hard to decipher.

Lin Ye felt a bit guilty, because he knew very well.

His little boss didn’t like employees working overtime because of her.

Even though he indeed sold all the goods yesterday, it still upset his little boss a bit.

After all, it could be considered as sneaking around behind her back, going against her wishes.

Even though he made money, he still felt a bit uneasy about it.

Lin Ye, as a grown man, somewhat feared this young girl, Jiang Xin, who was younger than him.

So, when he answered Jiang Xin, his tone was a bit stammered:

"Well, yes, I sold them all."
