CHAPTER 91: CHAPTER 91: KILLING WITH A BORROWED KNIFE

So, when Lin Ye heard Jiang Xin say that, he didn’t refuse. Instead, he accepted it calmly.

Lin Ye was very grateful to Jiang Xin, his boss.

After spending the past few days with Jiang Xin, Lin Ye had gained some understanding of her character.

According to Jiang Xin’s temperament.

If he had refused when he heard Jiang Xin offer to bring him lunch, she would definitely have gotten angry at him.

Jiang Xin’s personality is very assertive. From the way she equips her employees and the various incidents over the past days, Lin Ye could sense this.

As an employee, naturally, he wouldn’t dare contradict the boss’s wishes. He had to comply with whatever the boss wanted.

Besides, while he was here selling, he truly couldn’t leave the booth.

Moreover, the goods scattered everywhere—who knows how long it would take to sell them all?

If he continued selling here, he definitely wouldn’t have time to go to a restaurant for lunch.

The old man could certainly help him watch the booth, but the old man didn’t know the prices of the items Lin Ye was selling.

That did not help at all.

Plus, being a man, Lin Ye certainly couldn’t go a whole day without eating. He would likely pass out from hunger.

So, Lin Ye didn’t refuse Jiang Xin’s offer to bring him lunch.

Feeling grateful, Lin Ye spoke up:

"Okay, thank you, boss, I’ll be here waiting for the lunch you bring."

As for what kind of meal?

He didn’t care; as long as it filled his stomach, it was enough.

When he used to work in town, none of those bosses offered meals.

Sometimes, to save money, he would make do with two plain steamed buns and a packet of pickles for lunch.

Jiang Xin saying she would bring him lunch from the State-owned Restaurant was enough to make him feel deeply appreciated.

He did consider stopping Jiang Xin from going to the State-owned Restaurant to bring lunch.

But then he thought, it’s not just him having lunch; he couldn’t lower the boss’s standard of living because of himself.

So, Lin Ye kept silent. If it was just him having lunch, he would have settled for anything.

However, now it was both he and Jiang Xin having lunch, so he chose to eat whatever was available—after all, he’s not picky.

On this point, keeping quiet is always the best option.

Seeing Lin Ye agree, Jiang Xin felt quite satisfied. She originally thought she might have to spend some time convincing him.

Yesterday, when she pulled Lin Ye to the State-owned Restaurant for lunch, it took quite an effort.

Today, Lin Ye seemed to have gotten smarter.

Jiang Xin left satisfied, trusting Lin Ye to manage the booth.

As for other aspects, she planned to check in roughly once every hour to see how things were going.

Jiang Xin was eager to see how her perfume would sell today.

However, she thought that Lin Ye being a big guy might not understand the nuances of perfume.

When recommending it to customers, he might be awkward and not know how to entice with words.

If things didn’t go well, she planned to return after shopping and personally promote the perfume at the booth.

If it sold, that would naturally be ideal.

Jiang Xin was rather laid-back about it; as long as the goods sold enough, she wouldn’t lose money.

Making money was the goal, and if her products didn’t sell well today, she’d try other goods tomorrow—there are always ways to earn.

She planned to bring out all the different items from her inventory.

If they didn’t sell, she’d switch to selling popular items like she did on the first day—those were always in demand.

Anyway, it’s a win-win situation.

...

Leisurely wandering, Jiang Xin arrived at the Department Store in town.

Feeling idle, Jiang Xin quickly recalled the scene she secretly photographed yesterday of Jiang Wan with a stranger.

Based on her memory of the original character’s understanding of Jiang Wan, she felt she couldn’t pass up an opportunity to cash in.

Today, if she found an opportunity, Jiang Wan would definitely drag the stranger to shop.

After all, with school starting soon, she naturally wanted to gain as much as possible.

With her vanity, Jiang Wan seemed like bad news, or she wouldn’t be so eager to be someone’s mistress.

If the chance arose, she planned to stake out the Department Store; if she spotted Jiang Wan, it would be easier to collect more strong evidence.

Yesterday’s photos showed them in close interactions, but a few pictures on their own couldn’t prove anything.

Today, she brought out a video camera from her space; photos don’t capture things clearly.

Besides, Jiang Wan’s attire was completely different from what she wore in the village.

An image alone wouldn’t prove Jiang Wan was a mistress.

If she tried to argue that the photos weren’t of her, claiming Jiang Xin was framing her, Jiang Xin wouldn’t have an answer.

After all, just a few photos aren’t enough evidence to convict someone.

That’s why they say Jiang Xin never fights unprepared battles.

So she needed solid evidence before exposing Jiang Wan’s true nature to villagers.

Gather enough evidence to pin Jiang Wan down and leave her no room to argue.

Then the villagers would naturally choose to trust Jiang Xin.

With only yesterday’s few photos, the evidence isn’t solid enough. If she reveals it to everyone, the villagers, having watched Jiang Wan grow up, might still side with her.

Their impression remains, and in comparison to Jiang Xin’s rocky past, villagers would naturally prefer to trust Jiang Wan.

Her chances would then be slim.

Given this situation, Jiang Xin needed to gather more evidence to strengthen credibility.

Besides, once she uncovered the identity of Jiang Wan’s lover, she planned to send all the evidence she compiled to his spouse, who would naturally handle Jiang Wan for her.
