The Supporting Character Survives in the 90s by Earning Money Chapter 20


Seeing Meng Suihuan’s serious and earnest expression, Lu Xiuhe could feel the emotion in her eyes. She was serious. However, she still found it hard to believe and murmured, “Can I really do it?”

“Jiejie, you must believe in your own abilities, and also believe in my judgment,” Meng Suihuan gently reassured. “I hope you can think it over, and I’ll be waiting for your good news.”

After finishing her words, Meng Suihuan gave Lu Xiuhe space to think by herself, while she went to the transport team. Just as she arrived at the entrance, she overheard shouting from inside.

“If you don’t ask them for an explanation, I’ll come here myself tomorrow!”

“I told you I’ll handle this, can you stop talking? It’s really annoying!”

“If you can handle it, I wouldn’t want to get involved! Do you know, our son is sick! You’re a useless man, I really misjudged you!”

After yelling, the woman started crying with grievance, and soon, the man’s voice could be heard trying to comfort her. When their emotions had calmed down, Meng Suihuan entered.

“If you two have nothing else, let’s discuss the truck issue and figure out how to resolve it.”

The woman quickly wiped away her tears and sharply said, “You want to solve this? Can you really handle it?”

“You can ask him,” Meng Suihuan’s gaze fell on the man.

The man immediately responded and quickly grabbed his wife’s arm. “It’s okay, it’s okay. She’s the owner of our transport team.”

With that, Meng Suihuan took the couple into the room and handled the compensation issue properly. After hearing the final resolution, the couple finally smiled.

When Meng Changsheng returned, Meng Suihuan directly told him the outcome.

“Also, uncle, let’s pick out a few second-hand trucks for our transport team. In the future, we’ll use our own trucks to haul things.”

Meng Changsheng naturally had no objections. Doing so would prevent situations like today from happening again, and he had been bothered by this issue recently.

After handling the matter, Meng Suihuan reviewed the shipping situation over the past few months. It had decreased significantly compared to before. Upon comparison, she realized that many of the restaurant they had previously negotiated with hadn’t collaborated with their factory in the past two months.

After reviewing all the accounts, Meng Suihuan discussed the future development with Meng Changsheng.

“Uncle, aside from Shuangyang County, have you been to other counties or cities?”

When he nodded, she continued, “When I first established this transport team, I was thinking that one day we could sell our vegetables outside. Of course, we could also bring back things we don’t have here.”

At first, the vegetable factory business was just starting, and by coincidence, she encountered the old city renovation project. The external sales plan had been temporarily shelved. Now that the business of the vegetable factory was declining, it was the right time to revive the external sales plan.

They discussed for more than an hour and finally settled on a plan.

“Uncle, when we conduct the inspection, you can go with Xiao Zhang. He’s sharp and can talk well.”

And so, five days passed quietly, and Meng Suihuan packed her luggage to return to Shuangyang County. That evening, Lu Xiuhe, who hadn’t shown any movement before, came to find her.

“Xiao Huan, can I still agree to what you said last time?”

“Of course, it’s not too late.”

During this time, Lu Xiuhe had remained in her room as usual, occasionally chatting with Meng Suihuan. She had thought that Meng Suihuan had given up. To her surprise, she agreed.

When Lu’s parents heard the news, they were even more shocked than Meng Suihuan, especially since their daughter had been refusing to go out recently. Now she was actively offering to go to the county city with her daughter-in-law.

Lu’s mother felt reluctant but, seeing the light in her daughter’s eyes that had not been there for a long time, agreed without hesitation. After all, even though she had been watching her daughter closely at home, she felt powerless. It might be better for her daughter to go out—maybe it would have a different effect.

Meng Suihuan had always felt that Lu’s mother was an extremely competent mother. Many times, she could think from her children’s perspectives, just like now. Even though she was reluctant, to avoid affecting her daughter’s decision, she acted casually, pretending to be very supportive.

In both the 21st century and this era, very few people could do this.

The next day, Meng Suihuan and Lu Xiuhe took a car to the county city. Since it happened suddenly, Meng Suihuan could only first take her sister-in-law to her own house and look for a suitable place to move later. Fortunately, her house had two bedrooms and a living room, so even with Lu Xiuhe there, it wouldn’t be too cramped.

The next day, she took Lu Xiuhe to the company and introduced her to everyone in front of the group.

“This is our new colleague, Lu Xiuhe. She will mainly be responsible for the decoration and arrangement of houses in the future… Please don’t bully her.”

The others, mostly men, immediately began to tease. After all, it was rare to have a beautiful woman join their company.

“Boss, you’ve finally come to your senses and remembered that we didn’t have any women in the company. Now you’ve brought one in.”

“Ahem,” Meng Suihuan cleared her throat, not happy. “What do you mean, ‘we don’t have any women’? I’m here every day in front of you. Do you think I don’t exist?”

The others laughed and joked along with her. Originally, Lu Xiuhe had been a little reserved, but after being teased, she naturally became more relaxed. More importantly, since she hadn’t been to the company before, no one knew her, and they just treated her like a new colleague, so she didn’t feel much pressure.

While Meng Suihuan was joking with Jiang Chengxuan and others, her attention was occasionally on Lu Xiuhe. She didn’t mention their relationship, but treated her like a regular person, introducing her to the others. This way, she hoped that Lu Xiuhe would integrate into the company faster.

Seeing her relax gradually, Meng Suihuan smiled.

“Xiao Jiang, when you’re out doing business in the future, take Xiuhe with you. Let her observe how stores and restaurants in the city are decorated and arranged.”

Jiang Chengxuan readily agreed. “Leave it to me.”

Thanks to the huge success of the commercial street, Lao He’s project received high praise from the leadership, and his promotion was now certain. As soon as the time was right, he would be promoted.

As for Xia Sheng, not only did he lose the competition, but the reassignment that was supposed to go to him was now given to him, which was a clear consequence of his actions.

Meanwhile, Meng Suihuan’s side received good news. Their commercial street had boosted the economic benefits of Shuangyang County, so the leadership had fast-tracked their project approval. The funds for the old city renovation project were finally released. Lao He personally came to Xuyu to deliver the good news to everyone.

The others were excited, but their attention quickly shifted to the 1 million RMB bonus.

“When will the bonus be issued?”

Lao He smiled. “In a few days, there will be a leadership inspection, so it should be soon.”

After the announcement, Lao He left. Meng Suihuan couldn’t contain her joy and secretly found a spot to call on the system, eagerly opening her life points panel.

She had earned over 400,000 this time, so her life points should have surged.

Sure enough, her progress had reached 7%, a huge leap compared to the previous 0.41%! As for her life points, they had dramatically increased from 87 days to 1460 days!

Finally, she didn’t have to worry about suddenly losing her life anymore! It felt so good!!!

[Congratulations, host! You’ve completed the second stage of life accumulation. You will now receive 2 lottery chances!]

The familiar lottery prompt appeared, and remembering the last time she won double the cash, Meng Suihuan eagerly rubbed her hands together. She was determined to get some life points this time!

Excited, she spun the wheel while mentally chanting “life points.” The result quickly came in—it wasn’t life points, but an “itch card.” The effect was as the name suggested: it could make a person itch all over for about 5 minutes.

Meng Suihuan: …… Ugh.

Fortunately, there was still one more chance. She didn’t get discouraged and decided to try again. This time, her luck was even worse—nothing at all. It was a blank.

Meng Suihuan: “……”

“This broken system’s lottery is so unreasonable, how can this be the result! Garbage!” Meng Suihuan cursed inwardly.

[Host, please don’t curse, I can hear you ⊙▽⊙.]

She didn’t care! Let it hear her curses! Huh??? Hear?! Meng Suihuan immediately reacted, “You said you can hear my voice!” Then why didn’t it respond when I cursed this broken system earlier?

[Hmm~ After you completed the mission and reached the second stage, my abilities have slightly recovered. Now, I can communicate with you anytime and anywhere, and I can hear any sounds you make~~]

Anytime and anywhere?! This broken system!! Can I at least have some privacy?!

[Nope~ Unless you can control me~]

Meng Suihuan: “……” She was speechless.

“Quick, show me how many points I have now?” Just now, she had not only gained life points but also earned a wave of points.

[Host, congratulations, your points have reached 30 points. You now have 3 chances to draw.]

Meng Suihuan’s mood improved a little. With 3 chances, she didn’t believe she couldn’t win the life points jackpot! The familiar lottery wheel appeared before her. She spun it, much calmer than before. Meng Suihuan glanced casually at it. The number 2 was displayed. The note below said she won 2 extra chances!

Ahhhhhhhh!!! She knew it! She was obviously a reincarnated European King! The earlier results were just a fluke! So, Meng Suihuan drew a few more times, and consecutively won experience points… and chances to search the system or freely modify system settings.

Free modification of the system? Meng Suihuan smiled proudly. Without hesitation, she turned off the recently recovered function of the system. She wasn’t about to let this broken system monitor her anytime and anywhere!

Now, she only had one chance left to draw. Meng Suihuan instinctively closed her eyes. After a while, she shyly opened them. The interface displayed “Time halved.” Looking at the note below, it was clear that this reward would reduce the time of any task by half. However, it only lasted for 3 months. This meant that she had to use it within these few months!

Tsk. She had just casually complained about the slow speed of earning money, and here came an incredibly powerful cheat! She was truly an ordinary lottery expert!

When she saw Lao He again, it was on the day of the leadership inspection. She was called over by someone, saying that the leader specifically wanted to meet her. When Lao He saw her, he immediately introduced her to the leader.

“Director Li, this is the person in charge of the old city district renovation project, Xiao Meng Suihuan. The commercial street we just talked about was created by her, and this three-month free lease was also her idea.”

Earlier, Lao He hadn’t mentioned the free activity, waiting for the young girl to arrive so he could bring it up in front of her. He was also introducing her as a way to help her out. After all, with the girl’s ability and ideas, how could the small county of Shuangyang be her endpoint?

“Oh?” Director Li’s eyes flashed with surprise. He was familiar with the fact that the commercial street had earned 1.3 million in just two days. However, he hadn’t expected that this idea came from this young lady.

“Indeed, the new generation is pushing the older one. Today’s children are young, but their abilities are not small.” After sighing, Director Li praised her a few more times.

“The commercial street was well done.”

Upon hearing the leader’s praise, Meng Suihuan did not appear overly excited. Instead, she accepted the compliment gracefully.

“Thank you for your praise. This is what I should do.”

Director Li was very interested in this young lady. When she faced him, she was neither servile nor arrogant, just right.

“Tell me, although you were in charge of the old city district renovation project, how did you suddenly think of creating a commercial street?”

“I happened to see the national policy in Mr. He’s office, and naturally this idea came to mind. I decided to give it a try, and fortunately, it turned out to be a success.”

These were of course polite words, but Director Li appreciated them, and his admiration for Meng Suihuan grew even more. During the rest of the conversation, Director Li chatted casually, while Meng Suihuan answered his questions about the commercial street and old city district renovation project. For other topics, it was Lao He who handled them.

When it was time to leave, Director Li smiled and said to Meng Suihuan, “There aren’t many girls in the real estate business these days. Work hard, and when the time comes, go to Ning City for further development.”

Meng Suihuan smiled and nodded, “I will work hard.”

At the end of November, Meng Suihuan had new plans. She planned to develop the land she had acquired from the government. During this time, she also toured the surrounding real estate market. Since she was planning to develop this land, she needed to maximize its potential, not just build a couple of houses and call it a day.

They had proposed several plans, and even Meng Suihuan herself had thought of many ideas. But she felt something was missing. It could be sold, but the value wasn’t as high as the commercial street. They hadn’t come up with a suitable plan yet when Lao He sent her good news. The commercial street bonus had arrived!

Now, Meng Suihuan couldn’t sit still. She immediately went to the government, eager to get that money.

Recently, Lao He had been promoted and was now one of the top people in the department. However, Meng Suihuan remained just as comfortable with him as before, not at all stiff or awkward.

“Lao He, look at you now that you’ve been promoted, you’ve changed, your whole aura is different,” Meng Suihuan teased.

Lao He immediately laughed. “It’s just that I’m in a good mood after some good news.”

Though he had indeed changed recently, maybe because Xiao Sheng had left, or because his promotion had altered his mindset, either way, it was a good thing.

After some small talk, they got straight to the point. Lao He took out a credit card and a related document from his pocket.

“Here.”

Meng Suihuan eagerly took it and looked at the numbers. She realized that something was wrong.

She suspected she had misread it and counted in her mind several times. Ten, hundred, thousand… million… She gasped. Cautiously, she asked Lao He, “Mr. He, didn’t we say the bonus was 1.1 million? Why…”

It was almost doubled!!

Lao He calmly sipped his water before slowly explaining, “The leaders above were very pleased with your commercial street project, so the bonus was doubled.”

Ahhhhh!!! If the situation weren’t so formal, Meng Suihuan would have screamed. But since she was with Lao He, she had to restrain herself. She could only cover her mouth and suppress her excitement.

Lao He laughed along with her. When he first heard the news, he felt almost the same joy as when he got promoted. He almost lost his composure. But he was genuinely happy for this young girl. After all, without her, how could he have been promoted so easily?

After a while, Lao He happily asked her, “Are you happy now?”

Meng Suihuan nodded eagerly. “Yes.”

“Then I’ll continue. Besides the bonus, you’ve also been selected as this year’s outstanding person of Shuangyang County. There will be an official award ceremony in a few days, so be sure to attend. Here’s the related information.” Lao He handed her a document.

Meng Suihuan reached out and took it, glancing at the contents. It wasn’t the event information as expected. Instead, it was a plan for a school relocation.

She didn’t look carefully but handed the document back to Lao He. “Mr. He, you took the wrong file.”

Lao He looked at it and muttered, “I’m getting old,” then took out another document from his drawer. It was the event plan.

Meng Suihuan casually flipped through it and then asked another question. “Mr. He, is the school really relocating?”

“Has the relocation site been decided?”
