Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 140: 140 agree

Zeng Zhenqing’s guard went out, and shortly after, a young lad came over, looking around twenty years old.

”Leader.”

”Chunsheng, these two are going abroad. You arrange it, and lend a hand over there.

Tan Shaoting and Su Yuanyuan, this is the person in charge this time, Zhang Chunsheng. In the future, if there’s anything, just find him directly, he’ll make the arrangements.”

At this time, there was a report sound from outside; it turned out that the train with supplies was about to set off.

Zeng Zhenqing stood up with a smile, ”You two be careful.” People like this won’t draw attention.

Zhang Chunsheng understood the leader’s intention. Now going himself would be restricted, so these two youngsters should fare better, though he feared their young age might lead to mistakes.

Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting stood up, ”Leader, we will definitely do our best.”

Zeng Zhenqing nodded with a smile, ”If there’s anything, just find Chunsheng.”

He left. This batch of supplies was important, and he had to go personally.

Now only the three of them remained in the room, all of them young. Su Yuanyuan relaxed a little.

”Comrade, do you know when we can leave?”

”I’ll arrange it later. The day after tomorrow a car will be going over, but I can’t send you myself; there will be someone on the car to take you, and there will be friends responding to you where you’re going.”

”Alright, anything to instruct us on?” Tan Shaoting asked.

”Just buy as much grain as you can, the more, the better.”

”Comrade, we only have money from our side. Can you exchange it for money from there? And we don’t know the language there.”

”That’s possible, arrangements will be made once you’re there, rest assured, and our friends there speak our language.”

This made Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting feel at ease.

Zhang Chunsheng had been anxious, as he didn’t really trust sending this money with them, partly because he wasn’t familiar with them, and partly because of their young age, but he also understood the reason the leader was sending such people.

However, thinking that someone would watch over them to the other side assured him somewhat. Without guidance there, they likely couldn’t do much on their own.

This eased him a bit. ”I’ll arrange for you two to rest here. I’ll take care of some things and come talk to you in detail in the evening.”

The two of course had no objections. So they followed the arrangements and checked in.

Their rooms were adjacent, but Tan Shaoting did not stay in his room. Instead, he went into the room with Su Yuanyuan.

They were wary of being watched, so they spoke with great caution.

”We have just under six thousand on hand. Shall we buy grain with it all?”

”Alright, let’s round it up to six thousand.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded, agreeing.

”You should go rest now.”

”I’ll stay here.”

This was understandable to others, with so much money in Su Yuanyuan’s hands, it made sense for them to be together.

Come evening, Zhang Chunsheng came to call them for dinner.

As the three ate, Zhang Chunsheng explained.

Both of them understood now. They were to bring five thousand dollars to exchange once they reached their destination.

In truth, they were escorts. But with the chance to go openly, fulfilling their own wishes, Su Yuanyuan was willing.

”Mr. Zhang, how much is the grain there per jin?”

”Converted to our currency, it’s one jiao per jin. Of course, there’ll be some fluctuation.”

They understood this part. ”Did you both get it?”

They both nodded. ”Alright, you’ll go rest then, at three AM the day after tomorrow you’ll board the car.

Your mission there is to purchase grain.”

Both nodded; they had their alibi ready.

Su Yuanyuan couldn’t help but ask, ”Comrade, are you not worried letting the two of us handle so much money?”

Zhang Chunsheng smiled, she was nothing like a farm girl, her skin fair and features plain, yet she was pleasing to the eye.

”Of course I’ve investigated you, you have no issues. Moreover, you’re both willing to contribute your own money for the greater good, what reason do I have not to trust you?”

”Thank you, leader and comrade, for your trust. We will not betray it,” Tan Shaoting said solemnly.

They returned to their room, where the stove was burning well, keeping the room warm.

Su Yuanyuan took off her coat, and Tan Shaoting said, ”I’ll step out, you wash up, I’ll come back shortly.”

Su Yuanyuan actually wanted to enter the space, but reconsidered due to the uncertain safety, deciding it best to be cautious.

Tan Shaoting returned to his room and washed up summarily, thinking it best to join Su Yuanyuan again for safety.

Su Yuanyuan said nothing when Tan Shaoting came back.

Thus, once aboard the train, they felt much more at ease.

Zhang Chunsheng arranged for them to have identification. There’d be no worry of being deemed as blacks in a foreign land.

A train attendant arranged a sleeper for them, telling them it would take about ten days to reach their destination, to stay put and rest easy.

In those ten days, Su Yuanyuan bathed in the space. The rest of the time, they spent with the attendant learning the local language.

In just over ten days, they learned a lot. The attendant was quite surprised, not expecting them to be so clever. This language was not something mere intelligence could master alone.

Both learners were fast, and the other willing to teach, thus time flew by.

Upon arrival, they saw a foreigner conversing with the attendant with a smile.

They understood most of the conversation.

The attendant introduced them, and they greeted the foreigner in his language, who laughed in surprise.

Looking at this young Ivanov, both engaged him in conversation despite their imperfect grasp of the foreign language.

Ivanov took them to their accommodation.

Su Yuanyuan told him they wanted to exchange twenty-six thousand of their currency.

”Of course, rest today, I’ll take you to exchange it tomorrow, don’t worry, it’s safe.”

Even if Su Yuanyuan was anxious, there was nothing to do, the man’s nature was unhurried, and one couldn’t rush him.

That evening they tasted the local food, which Su Yuanyuan could accept, but Tan Shaoting truly disliked.

Su Yuanyuan knew that Ivanov had already shown great courtesy in hosting them.

It was quite cold, but the room had a fireplace. Su Yuanyuan checked her room for abnormalities before entering the space.
