Chapter 2093: Use the other person's way to repay the other person's kindness

The next morning, Pi Yangyang called Shen Xinjun and they went to Dafa Building Materials Wholesale Store together.

After getting on the bus, Shen Xinjun felt uneasy. He wanted to ask several times, but he didn't dare to.

"Just say what you have to say, look how you've been holding it in."

Pi Yangyang, who was sitting in the back row with him, naturally noticed it and said calmly.

"Brother-in-law, you've already contacted someone, haven't you?" Shen Xinjun asked.

Pi Yangyang said, "We didn't look for it. Don't you know that yesterday, Captain Lu wanted you to purchase your materials here?"

Shen Xinjun said with a bitter face, "Brother-in-law, my shop is already half-renovated, and I've bought a lot of materials. If we switch to their materials now, the losses will be huge!"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. This is your first lesson since you started your company in Beijing. No matter what you do, you can't just do it on a whim! Your sister and I are both in Beijing, and you didn't even ask around before renting a shop and starting renovations. Do you think this is your hometown back in the countryside?"

Pi Yangyang deliberately put on a stern face and said.

Shen Xinjun said with frustration, "How was I supposed to know there would be so many rules for doing business in the city? Besides, the materials we used did meet the standards; they were all flame-retardant..."

"You think it meets the standards just because you say so? In the end, it's up to them to decide. Alright, stop crying. Just consider it a lesson learned."

Pi Yangyang said.

"But... not only is this a waste of money, but we don't even know how many days we'll have to close. The rent is one or two thousand a day, the loss is really too great..."

Shen Xinjun felt increasingly distressed and almost burst into tears.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to be so impulsive?" Pi Yangyang's tone remained solemn.

Shen Xinjun thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Brother-in-law, if we switch to this store, will they still fine me?"

Pi Yangyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "Don't say anything out of line when we get there. I'll handle it."

Shen Xinjun was taken aback, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, suddenly relaxed.

He forced a smile and said, "I knew my brother-in-law must have found someone, so I'm relieved."

Pi Yangyang shook his head helplessly, offering no explanation.

It took them a full hour to finally stop at a store.

If it weren't for the store sign, Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun would never have imagined that Dafeng Building Materials Wholesale Store was so small.

The entire storefront is just one square meter, and it looks less than 40 square meters.

There was a bar table by the entrance, where a woman in her early thirties was applying makeup in front of a mirror.

Pi Yangyang told Tie Niu and Kang Dezhu to wait for them in the car, and then took Shen Xinjun into the shop.

When the young woman saw someone enter, she quickly put down the mirror and eyebrow pencil she was holding and asked with a smile, "What would you two like to buy?"

Pi Yangyang placed the business card on the bar table and said calmly, "We were introduced by Captain Lu. He said the materials here are good, so we came to take a look."

This woman is Jiang Wenyan, Lu Xiangming's sister-in-law.

Upon seeing the business card, she immediately understood.

"Oh, you were introduced by Captain Lu? No problem then. You can rest assured about our materials; they all meet the requirements. Many places use our materials, and there have never been any problems."

Pi Yangyang glanced into the shop and saw that it contained not only some building materials, wires, cables, and conduits, but also a lot of fire-fighting equipment.

Dry powder fire extinguishers, fire indicator lights, fire masks, water guns, fire axes, and more are all available.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Madam, do you sell fire-fighting equipment here?"

"Yes, we are the designated sales point for fire-fighting equipment. If you need anything, you can purchase it together, which will save you from having to run around to different places."

Jiang Wenyan quickly said.

Pi Yangyang nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, not bad. We'll buy our materials from you from now on."

Jiang Wenyan said happily, "No problem, bosses. Just tell me what you need. Don't underestimate my small shop. I have a big warehouse in the suburbs. I can have anything you need."

As she spoke, she pulled out a chair and invited Pi Yangyang to sit down.

Then she poured two cups of tea for Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun, and sat down as well.

"I'll register what you need and deliver it whenever you need it, making sure it doesn't delay your business."

Jiang Wenyan skillfully took out the sales slip and prepared to record Pi Yangyang and Shen Xinjun's purchase list.

Pi Yangyang said, "Boss lady, don't rush, can we take a look at the prices first?"

Jiang Wenyan paused slightly, clearly surprised. "Looking at the price?"

“Yeah, comparing prices is always a good idea…” Pi Yangyang replied naturally.

Jiang Wenyan looked at Pi Yangyang suspiciously and asked in confusion, "Weren't you... introduced by Captain Lu?"

Pi Yangyang nodded and smiled, saying, "It was Captain Lu who introduced us. He even gave us the business card; otherwise, we wouldn't have found this place. But even if Captain Lu was the one who introduced us, shouldn't we at least know the prices?"

"Okay, boss, just ask whatever materials you need to know the prices of."

Jiang Wenyan seemed a little impatient as she spoke.

Pi Yangyang pointed to a roll of cable and asked, "How much is this cable?"

Jiang Wenyan answered without hesitation, "It's 128 yuan per meter."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xinjun was startled and instinctively said, "128 yuan per meter? How can it be so expensive?"

“This is a top-brand, national standard thread, and this is the price,” Jiang Wenyan said confidently. “Using this kind of thread, you can skip inspection.”

Shen Xinjun's temples were beaded with cold sweat. He was about to ask again when Pi Yangyang said, "Shen Xinjun, the boss lady said this is an inspection-free line, so it must be the best."

Jiang Wenyan immediately smiled and said, "This boss really knows his stuff."

Pi Yangyang smiled and then casually asked a question while pointing to the other two materials.

Jiang Wenyan quoted prices without hesitation, and Shen Xinjun's heart pounded every time she quoted a price.

Although he didn't know much about it, he had been working on renovations and had come into contact with a lot of materials.

To save money, he and Qin Yuyu made many trips to building material markets, comparing prices at thirty different stores and gaining a general understanding of the market prices of these materials.

Although there are different brands, the price difference between them is extremely limited.

However, the prices quoted by Jiang Wenyan were about three times his original purchase price, which was a bit outrageous.

If all the materials used are from her shop, the renovation cost will be astronomical.

Although he was anxious, he dared not say anything more.

He didn't know what Pi Yangyang was thinking, and he was afraid that if he said too much, he would affect Pi Yangyang's rhythm.

"Alright, we'll definitely buy our materials from you." After casually asking about the prices of several materials, Pi Yangyang made a decision and said decisively.

Jiang Wenyan's face lit up immediately, and she said happily, "This boss is so generous. Don't worry, the materials are guaranteed to be fine. And I can guarantee that as long as you purchase materials from me, they will definitely pass inspection, and you'll have far fewer troubles in the future."

Pi Yangyang smiled slightly, turned to Shen Xinjun and said, "Shen Xinjun, you talk to the boss lady and see what materials she needs, and make a procurement plan. I need to pee a little, can I use the restroom?"

Without thinking twice, Jiang Wenyan quickly replied, "The toilet is in the back..."

Shen Xinjun sat opposite Jiang Wenyan with a bitter face, feeling helpless. For a moment, he didn't know what he should buy.

Jiang Wenyan wasn't in a hurry. She realized that the one with real decision-making power was Pi Yangyang.

Since Pi Yangyang has stated that she will buy the materials from her, this order is final.

Pi Yangyang went to the restroom, deliberately turned on the tap, and then dialed Lan Bowen's number.

"Mr. Lan, please contact the Quality Inspection Bureau and the Market Price Supervision Bureau immediately and ask them to send people to Dafa Building Materials Wholesale Store. I suspect that they are not only selling counterfeit and shoddy products here, but also that the prices are completely higher than the normal market prices."

He answered the phone in a deep voice.

Lan Bowen agreed and then hung up the phone.

As the former chairman of Shanhe Infrastructure Group, Lan Bowen had a lot of dealings with these functional departments and naturally knew many people.

Although Pi Yangyang wasn't sure if these materials were genuine, he was absolutely certain that the prices were outrageously high.

Lu Xiangming likes to use his power to investigate others, right? Well then, he'll give him a taste of his own medicine.

A moment later, he came out of the restroom and saw Shen Xinjun, his face dark and covered in sweat, reporting his name to Jiang Wenyan.

He couldn't help but smile; the real show was about to begin.
