Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

Chapter 950 950: Excellence (30)

Zhao Jingmiao didn't know that after the courtyard's door closed, a person emerged from behind a big tree, glanced at the courtyard where Zhao Jingmiao lived, and then looked in the direction where Gu Lingling and others left.

Then, he smiled self-deprecatingly.

This person was Qian Bao.

Zhao Jingmiao was unaware of one thing, and that is, for some time now, he had been silently following her.

From when she closed her stall, he had been following her.

As she wandered through the streets and alleys of Capital City, he just silently followed her.

He didn't know why, just afraid she might encounter someone who would bully her.

Anyway, they all said ever since he saw Zhao Jingmiao that day, he was bewitched.

Bewitched or not, he admitted defeat anyway.

He originally thought a girl who could set up a stall at the train station, who got up early and stayed up late to buy and sell goods, even occasionally buying a pancake and drinking some water to save time for lunch, was only worried about missing business during her meal.

Yet, out of curiosity, he followed her today and found out she actually lived in a courtyard.

Qian Bao awkwardly touched his nose.

He had thought Zhao Jingmiao came here to visit relatives or deliver something to someone, but with the door just closed, she seemed to be the only one in the courtyard.

That was her home.

Qian Bao looked around; every day he was collecting protection fees in this area, probably in his lifetime he couldn't even afford a small kitchen here.

The blow to his heart was more than just a bit significant.

Moreover, what family would want to marry their beloved daughter to someone without a proper job?

Qian Bao walked back with his head down, unable to cheer up for days.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" His subordinate asked when he saw him like that, "Did that girl reject you? Just wait, I'll get her for you now."

Daring to refuse their Brother Leopard, truly bold!

The subordinate had had enough of seeing their wise boss like this. Before Qian Bao could react, he had already run out, while Qian Bao was thinking about the courtyard, naturally not hearing what he said.

Zhao Jingmiao still went to set up her stall at the train station as usual. Business was average today, but she wasn't worried. If business boomed every day, wouldn't others be envious?

Wasn't it obvious on this street, two or three stalls already have the same goods as hers?

Gu Lingling said these things were normal.

Being imitated means you are excellent.

Her cousin really knew how to talk.

While chatting with the sister-in-law next to her, she noticed a few people approaching with anger.

Zhao Jingmiao recognized the people; they were the ones who came with Qian Bao to collect protection fees. But it was strange, hadn't they already paid today's fee?

Of course, Zhao Jingmiao also felt pained to pay this money; she didn't earn much in one day, and the protection fee alone took several dollars.

But sister-in-law said if they didn't pay, they wouldn't be able to set up a stall here anymore, and it would be the same elsewhere, some places even charged more.

Zhao Jingmiao thought about this and agreed.

But she didn't know what these people came for today?

Just when she was thinking this, they had already come up to her, "Zhao Jingmiao, what did you do to our boss?"

Zhao Jingmiao was puzzled, "..."

Their boss?

Qian Bao?

She didn't do anything to him.

"Hehe... still want to do business? Brothers, smash it," the subordinate ordered.
