Chapter 82 I Have a Bottom Line

Yao Shula had already planned it out. When Lei Jingwu returned to Yun County and brought back all those trinkets, she would set up another place nearby and become a middleman in other people's eyes...

Don't underestimate middlemen; if they're careful, one deal can be worth a year's wages for a regular worker!

"I can provide the capital; you can decide which one to buy later."

Let me calculate... I can put up... 500 yuan in capital!" Yao Shula immediately calculated the amount of money she could come up with.

Lei Jingwu nodded.

Yes, it's exactly as I calculated, it really is five hundred yuan.

Gu Changqin was a little surprised. This guy was amazing; he could even figure out how much money someone else had...

He was about to speak when Lei Jingwu interrupted him.

"That's settled then. We'll be back in a month at most."

It'll probably be hot by the time we get back!

Also, this is seventy yuan, for next month.

Oh, one more thing. After we leave, there should be some people you don't know very well coming to play.

"If they greet you, be enthusiastic." Lei Jingwu continued to instruct.

Yao Shula quickly agreed.

...

The next day was Thursday, and Lei Jingwu took Xiao Tiantian home to see Secretary Lei.

Xiao Tiantian told Secretary Lei that Yao Shula's stall had just started and he was very busy, so he wouldn't be coming back for the next two Sundays and would return on Thursday instead.

Once everything is back to normal, he will change his return date to Sunday.

Secretary Lei agreed without hesitation.

Yao Shula watched the stall by herself for a while, and then three people came in and booked a pool table for one yuan.

After receiving the money, Yao Shula returned to her courtyard. She grabbed two handfuls of soybeans and started sorting them, planning to grind some mixed grain porridge at Grandma Zhou's house that evening.

Before I could even finish choosing, someone knocked twice on the glass of the storefront.

Yao Shula peeked out and saw that it was actually Gu Changqin.

He still had those sunglasses hanging on his nose, but he pointed to the storefront where the pool table was located.

Yao Shula felt something was strange.

Shouldn't this guy have gone to Secretary Lei's house with Lei Jingwu and Gu Xiaoman, along with Xiaotian?

Why would he come here for no reason?

Yao Shula quickly put down the soybeans she was picking, washed her hands in the basin on the washbasin stand, and walked to the front.

"Why are you here?" Yao Shula asked, looking at Gu Changqin, who had already walked to the pool table.

Gu Changqin picked up a cue stick and gestured with it on the pool table before speaking.

I need to talk to you about something!

Alarm bells rang in Yao Shula's mind.

He came to me with something? What could he possibly want to talk to me about?

I don't think I'm that familiar with Gu Changqin at all!

“Tell me what it is!” Yao Shula said immediately.

"I need your help!" Gu Changqin said in a low voice.

Yao Shula was even more confused. Why was Gu Changqin asking her for help?

What could this young master of a Shanghai capitalist possibly need my help with?

In any case, if someone wants to do something, sometimes it's just a matter of making a phone call. There's nothing that they have to ask of you.

"What kind of help? Tell me!" Yao Shula remained vigilant.

Gu Changqin was unaware that Yao Shula's vigilance had already reached its peak.

"Actually, this should be a piece of cake for you."

"I heard from Lei Zi that you're smart and have a knack for dealing with shameless people. Can you help me think of a way to teach a shameless person a lesson?" Gu Changqin looked at Yao Shula very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Yao Shula immediately thought of who it was about to punish.

"Xiaoman's ex-boyfriend whom she has already broken up with?" Yao Shula asked in a low voice.

Gu Changqin nodded slightly.

"Wait a minute! Didn't Xiaoman say that guy went abroad? He's already gone, so be it!"

Why are you thinking of punishing them now?

What if I overdo it and Xiaoman finds out? What if she feels sorry for me? What if that guy tries to play the victim again?

"You've tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead!" Yao Shula was a little confused.

Shouldn't we avoid mentioning that man at all at this point?

wrong……

"That guy can't leave, can he?" Yao Shula realized immediately.

Gu Changqin snorted.

"He was able to go abroad because of the school's recommendation. Even though the list was finalized, as long as he didn't leave, our family had plenty of ways to get him to go."

Did he think that he could leave by sticking with another company?

Didn't you get rejected during the visa interview in the end?

Do you think our family can just stand by and watch Xiaoman get scammed? Watch that guy live a carefree life, heading towards his dream paradise?

Are you kidding me?!

When I came out with Lei Zi this time, I specifically dragged Xiaoman along so that she wouldn't know about this.

That guy is looking for Xiaoman everywhere right now!

I reckon that once Xiaoman returns to Shanghai, that guy will pounce on her again.

Xiaoman is a soft-hearted girl with no guile; she's easily fooled.

Can you help me think of a way to keep that guy from appearing in front of Xiaoman?

"Or rather, let's see if there's any way to make Xiaoman hate that guy so much!" Gu Changqin continued.

Yao Shula finally understood what was going on.

No wonder she came to find me secretly, so that's what happened!

only……

"No way! I'm a firm believer in karma and retribution."

The methods I've come up with are all somewhat unethical.

"What if it's too unethical and accidentally ruins someone's life? What if the King of Hell holds a grudge?" Yao Shula immediately refused.

"I'll pay! Name your price!" Gu Changqin declared.

Yao Shula paused for a moment, then shook her head.

"No! I have my own bottom line." Yao Shula still firmly refused.

Gu Changqin...

Didn't Lei Jingwu say that this girl only does things for money and never drags her feet?

How come now...

Do you still have a bottom line?

This person only has a bottom line when it comes to themselves!

"If you don't want the money, then let's find another way!"

Lei Zi and I are in business, right? No matter how much money you invest, we'll give you a share of the profits according to your investment ratio.

"All you have to do is pay, and you don't have to worry about anything else!" Gu Changqin threw out another bait.

Yao Shula...

Oh, I see. Not having to take the money directly doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, right? Xiaoman is so cute and kind, we definitely can't let her get into trouble, right?

"I see!"

Actually, I quite like Xiaoman too! Xiaoman is such a nice person, we should still lend her a hand!

Let me think about it...

Gu Changqin chuckled inwardly as he looked at Yao Shula's expression.

If Lei Jingwu asks her for any help, I'll definitely take care of it...
