Chapter 27 Toy Factory/Guangzhou Trip

Jiang Lili's words caused the surroundings to remain silent for five seconds. Ke Sisi was the first to speak: "So, Lili, is this the reason you asked for leave this morning?"

"Yes." Jiang Lili nodded. She glanced at Ji Mingyue over there, then quickly turned her gaze back to Wu Juyue. "I'm curious. Every time she has something going on, you're always the first to rush forward. Before this, didn't you notice that she's always the one provoking others first?"

"Yeah, it seems like Ji Mingyue is the one who starts trouble every time." Someone nearby thought about it and spoke.

"It seems so." Others also echoed. People always sympathize with the weak, but after many times, they found that some things were not what they thought.

Wu Juyue frowned and looked at her: "Stop trying to sow discord. What? Did I stand up for Mingyue make you jealous?"

"Respect the blessing, and I hate stupidity, not jealousy." Jiang Lili was too lazy to look at her after she said that. After all, it's not easy to be so stupid.

It took a while for Wu Juyue to realize that she had just said something about herself being stupid. Seeing her realize this, everyone around her laughed. Then she said to the person next to her, "Oh my god, this is the first time I've realized how sophisticated Ji Lili's insults are."

"She's called Jiang Lili now. It turns out that people with good grades can even curse more thoughtfully than us." Everyone was discussing the new word "idiotism".

"Juyue, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be laughed at by them." Ji Mingyue looked at her apologetically.

"This has nothing to do with you. It's all Ji Lili's fault." After saying this, she thought of what she had just said. She looked at Ji Mingyue and asked, "Did she really change her surname?"

"I don't know." Ji Mingyue shook her head. No matter what, this was good news for her. Now that she had changed her surname, it would not be so easy for her to come back when Ji Yushu became the richest man. Thinking of the strategy value above Ji Yushu's head, Ji Mingyue couldn't help but frown. It hadn't increased for a long time. Maybe this was an opportunity.

"She doesn't look like she's lying. She's such an ungrateful person. Your father used to be so good to her." Wu Juyue thought, Ji Lili is really ungrateful. She has such a good father, but she still changed her surname.

"I heard from dad that Lili has always been very opinionated. Dad would definitely be sad if he knew about this. It's all my fault, Juyue. Do you think I shouldn't have come to Yuncheng and accepted my fate of being sold to a cripple by my uncle in exchange for a betrothal gift? That way, it wouldn't have affected their family." Ji Mingyue's eyes were red and her tone was full of self-blame.

"This has nothing to do with you. He is your father, Mingyue." Wu Juyue hurriedly comforted.

Jiang Lili was taking a breath outside, guessing that Ji Mingyue knew about this matter probably because Ji Yushu told him when he went back. Thinking of his gloating expression at noon, disgust flashed in her eyes.

The get out of class was only open for ten minutes, and Ji Mingyue's disturbance just now took up most of that time, so the bell for class rang soon. In just these few minutes, the whole school knew that He Jian's parents were getting a divorce.

Although there was a lot of noise at the cotton mill last night, the students there basically did not spread the news immediately. Some people thought it was someone else's privacy, while others were told by their parents not to talk about it. After all, He Jinsheng looked scary last night, and no one wanted to cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, Ji Mingyue had spread the news. When the bell rang, He Jian pushed aside the students who were asking around and said indifferently, "It's time for class."

Although he didn't think divorce was shameful, he still felt a little embarrassed when so many classmates kept asking him about it. Thinking of Ji Mingyue, he clenched his fists and disgust flashed in his eyes.

As soon as the bell rang for class, He Jian slipped out the back door. Besides avoiding his classmates, he had more important things to do. He didn't look for Ji Mingyue. He had already anticipated that if he did, her reaction would be nothing more than crying, feigning pity, and then apologizing. If he didn't forgive her, it would be his fault. In his eyes, Ji Mingyue and He Jinsheng were no different. Wasn't the reason they acted this way because they thought anything they did could be solved by just shedding a few drops of cat urine and saying sorry?

After finding Ji Mingyue's bicycle in the bicycle shed and puncturing the tire with a nail, he poured the ink in his hand on her new pink bicycle. After doing all this, he threw the ink bottle into the trash can and slowly returned to the classroom.

After class, Jiang Lili went to find her homeroom teacher and told her about changing her name. High school had just started and some files had not been submitted yet, so she had to hurry.

She had just returned from the office and met He Jian in the corridor. He Jian also saw her and took a step back to avoid her. When Jiang Lili lowered her head, she caught a glimpse of the ink on his fingers and was a little confused. Didn't the calligraphy class in high school be cancelled?

Her doubts didn't last long. In the evening, when school was over, she and Ke Sisi just went downstairs and heard Ji Mingyue's collapsed voice: "Who did this?"

"Lili, shall we go and take a look?" Ke Sisi glanced over there curiously, with an unstoppable smile on the corner of her lips. It was always a happy thing to see someone you hate get into trouble.

"Well, let's go and take a look." Jiang Lili already had some guesses in her mind at this time. Sure enough, when she got closer, she heard people watching the excitement nearby say that Ji Mingyue's car was splashed with ink and the tires were punctured. It seemed that he had offended someone and was being retaliated against.

"Mingyue, why don't we go find the teacher and find out who is so hateful." Wu Juyue seemed even angrier than the bike owner Ji Mingyue, because she was the one riding the new bike these past two days.

"Well, this is the only way." Ji Mingyue's tone was a little reluctant. In this era without surveillance, it was difficult to find out who did it, although she already had a suspect in mind.

The two came out of the carport, and Wu Juyue couldn't help but say, "Ji Lili, it was you who did it." She was still used to calling her Ji Lili.

"Wu Juyue, before you speak, use your brain to think carefully about whether you have evidence. Something without evidence is called slander, do you understand?" Jiang Lili couldn't help but suspect that Ji Mingyue's strategy system would lower people's intelligence, otherwise how could Wu Juyue be so stupid.

Wu Juyue was about to say something, but then she swallowed her words back when she remembered her fussy ways. She then shouted, "It's best if the person who did something bad goes to the teacher and admits his fault himself. That way, we can barely let it go. Otherwise, when the teacher finds out who it was, don't blame us for being rude."

"Tsk, how are you being rude?" Some people thought she was just bluffing. Such things had happened before and were always left unresolved.

"Is there something wrong with her? Who will admit it?" Ke Sisi pointed to her head and asked sincerely.

"Who knows? Let's go." Jiang Lili didn't bother to pay attention to her. She thought that Ji Mingyue would definitely tell the Ji family about her change of surname when she returned. She guessed that Ji Yushu would come and make trouble again, but this was inevitable.

Dinner was still at Jiang Aiguo's place. When Jiang Lili saw Jiang Yulan, she asked her with concern, "He moved things at noon. Did he do anything?"

"Don't worry, what can he do? Now that everything has been taken away, it's a clean slate." Jiang Yulan thought it was a good thing that he took those things away.

"Ji Mingyue knows that I changed my surname. I guess he will come and make a fuss." Jiang Lili gave them a heads-up in advance.

"Just make a fuss, who's afraid of him?" Jiang Jianyi coughed lightly after saying this. He had been holding back his anger for so many days and had no place to vent it, so he was just waiting for him to make a fuss.

"Don't worry about these things. By the way, has the teacher told us that we should still have time for the files, right?" Jiang Yulan asked with concern.

"Well, I told you, there's still time." Jiang Lili nodded.

"Let's eat first." Zhou Qingfen invited everyone to eat first.

After dinner, Jiang Jianyi took the initiative to bring up the matter of asking Jiang Yulan to take a leave of absence. Jiang Aiguo was a little surprised: "Dad, do you mean for me to do it now?"

"It's not that we have to do it now, but we have to make a plan now. I just found out today when I was fishing with Lao Wu that a group of people were laid off from the toy factory next door." Jiang Jianyi sighed. No one would have thought that the iron rice bowl that everyone thought was iron would be broken one day.

"A toy factory?" Zhou Qingfen was a little surprised. Logically speaking, most children are only children nowadays, so parents should be more willing to spend money.

Hearing her doubts, Jiang Jianyi said calmly: "That's true, but at the same time, people are more picky. Let alone Guangdong products, there are many imported toys now. The toys from the factory next door are still the same old style and have no novelty. Won't they be eliminated?" Jiang Jianyi shook his head with a look of regret.

Jiang Lili, who was eating next to her, had a thoughtful look in her eyes. Toys, this is a huge market! With the development of the times, there will be educational toys in the future. She remembered reading a sentence before, that the money of children and women is the easiest to make. Perhaps this is an opportunity?

"But the cotton mill is okay. Whether it's for clothing or daily use, you need cloth, right?" Jiang Aiguo said uncertainly.

"It's right to think of a way out early. Haven't you noticed that there are more and more people setting up stalls on the streets now?" In addition to fishing, Jiang Jianyi's other hobby is strolling around the surrounding area.

"I really haven't noticed this." Jiang Aiguo shook his head. He just went to work on weekdays and rarely noticed the changes around him.

"So you are a nerd, only suitable for studying and research. Now there are stalls everywhere, especially outside the school, selling all kinds of food." Zhou Qingfen strongly supported Jiang Yulan to go out and try. She also felt that with the current development of various factories, the situation would only get worse.

"Dad is not a nerd, the class monitor is." Jiang Qitong retorted. She felt that the class monitor was the nerd.

"Do you still know what a nerd is? By the way, aunt, is the canteen business in your school particularly good?" Jiang Lili thought, you have to have connections to open a canteen in the school, which is a pity, otherwise this would be a good choice.

"Yes, children nowadays have pocket money every day. Although it's not much, there are so many children, so the canteen is packed every day." Zhou Qingfen's tone also showed a bit of envy.

"Children's and women's money is the best. Maybe we can consider starting with the toy factory." Jiang Lili said seriously.

Seeing the others looking over, she slowly explained, "Didn't Grandpa say that a lot of people were laid off at the toy factory next door? I guess there aren't many workers left in the factory. Maybe Factory 1 is already preparing to sell off its assets."

The toy factory next door is also called Factory 2. Its scale, number of employees, and equipment are not as good as Factory 1. If the assets are to be sold, Factory 2 will definitely be the first choice.

"Do you mean to buy the second factory?" Jiang Aiguo looked at her with some amusement.

"I do have this plan. Just like my aunt said before, this is the era of only children, and everyone is willing to spend money on their children. As long as we can be innovative, we can seize the market." The next two-child policy will be in 2016, which is still a full twenty years away. Twenty years later, even in families with two children, everyone will still be willing to pay for their children's expenses.

"That makes sense, but it would cost a lot of money to buy this, right? I feel the risk is a bit too high." Jiang Jianyi frowned. The older generation is conservative and cannot accept risks that are too great.

"If one person can't handle it all, you can find someone else and just hold the shares. Of course, this is just my idea. We don't even know if they plan to sell it yet." Jiang Lili chuckled, feeling that it was a little early for her to discuss this.

"When I have time, I'll go and ask around, and also take a look at what imported toys look like and see how they differ from our own." Although Jiang Jianyi was worried about the risks, he had to admit that Jiang Lili's suggestion was a good one.

"Don't worry, we will catch up sooner or later." Jiang Aiguo looked confident.

"It's better for Dad to go and ask around, and at the same time find out about other factories. It doesn't have to be limited to toy factories." In Jiang Aiguo's view, if they want to do it, they must make a comparison.

"Okay, you all go to work first and leave this to me. If it doesn't work out, we can set up a stall too." Jiang Jianyi finally made the decision.

"Set up a stall, I want to set up a stall." Jiang Qitong quickly raised her hand to sign up. Everyone was amused by her, and for a moment, the house was filled with laughter.

*

At the iron factory, Ji Mingyue came back and didn't see Ji Yushu. She couldn't help but ask, "Where's my dad?"

"Your father went to Guangzhou to pick up the goods. He will take the afternoon train. He should have boarded it by now." Chen Guilan looked very happy when she mentioned this, as if she had seen the day when she would make a lot of money.

"Didn't you say we were going next week?" Ji Mingyue was a little surprised.

"I originally went to buy tickets for next week, but I didn't expect there were tickets available for today, so I just bought today's tickets," Chen Guilan explained.

"Oh, then I'll just stay at my mother's place tonight." Ye Qiuju seldom comes to eat now, and she uses the excuse of eating at the restaurant.

"That's fine." Chen Guilan didn't care.

"Yeah." Although Ji Yushu moved the bed and cabinet back, Ji Lanlan's room was small to begin with. After putting these two things in, there was no place to stand in the room.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lanlan glanced at her, lowered her head and pursed her lips. She could sleep better if she didn't come back. She actually hoped that she would continue to live with her mother.

"By the way, grandma, Lili took a special leave this morning to change her name." Ji Mingyue said this in a casual tone.

"Change the name? Change to what name?" Chen Guilan paused with the chopsticks in her hand, her tone full of confusion.

"To be precise, she changed her surname. She said her name is now Jiang Lili." Ji Mingyue lowered her head quickly after saying this.

Ji Yuanping was the first to throw down his chopsticks: "What did you say? She changed her last name?"

"She told our classmates not to call her Ji Lili. Her name is now Jiang Lili. Grandpa, do you think Lili changed her surname because of me? I apologized to her and she slapped me and scolded me for meddling in other people's business." Ji Mingyue sobbed twice as she spoke, looking so pitiful.

"No, I'm going to find that old guy Jiang Jianyi. Why should the descendants of my Ji family have the same surname as the Jiang family? They are really going too far." Ji Yuanping said angrily.

Ji Wenwu and Ji Lanlan were not affected at all. Yao Yan, who was standing next to them, took over the conversation: "I guess it was Second Sister-in-law's idea. As you know, Second Sister-in-law always has the right ideas."

"Who else but her? I know she's a troublemaker." Chen Guilan also looked dissatisfied.

"What should we do now?" Ji Mingyue asked somewhat helplessly.

Yao Yan, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, glanced at her. She had underestimated this girl. She was really good at adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, they had signed a document now, otherwise she might not be able to win over the mother and daughter in the future.

"Change it back, you must change it back for me. I'll go to the cotton mill now." Ji Yuanping stood up suddenly and had no intention of continuing to eat dinner.

Ji Mingyue curled her lips at this. Although she knew that their making a scene might not be effective, she had achieved her goal by disgusting the Jiang family. She wanted to cut off all of Jiang Lili's escape routes. Now that Ji Yushu had gone to Guangzhou, he was one step closer to his family's wealthy life. So it was best for the two families to break off relations now. Even if Ji Yushu softened his stance, his family would stop him.

"Old man, I'll go with you later and eat first." Chen Guilan called Ji Yuanping.

"Mom and Dad, are you really going?" Yao Yan's eyes turned and she had a new idea in her mind.

"We must go. Even if we're divorced, Lili is still our Ji family's daughter." Although they usually despised Ji Lili for being a girl, they felt satisfied every time they heard people praising her grades. She was a university student, so how could they give her to the Jiang family?

"Since Second Sister-in-law dares to make the change, she is not afraid of you making a fuss. In my opinion, it would be best to go directly to the factory and find her leader." Even though Jiang Yulan explained to her last time that Qiangzi's transfer to another workshop had nothing to do with them, so what? Why should Qiangzi do the dirty and tiring work while she, Jiang Yulan, can earn money so easily?

"Third Aunt is right." Ji Mingyue didn't expect Yao Yan to hate Jiang Yulan so much. This was exactly what she wanted. At this time, their common enemy was Jiang Yulan.

"That makes sense, but the factory is closed now, so let's go directly to the cotton mill early tomorrow morning." The old couple looked at each other and quickly changed their minds.

Ji Mingyue lowered her head and ate her meal without saying anything else. Yao Yan did not continue to add fuel to the fire. After all, some things are too much or too little. She was waiting for their good news.

Jiang Lili was a little absent-minded when she went to school for evening self-study. Ke Sisi next to her asked her, "Lili, what's wrong with you?"

"Ji Mingyue will definitely tell the Ji family about my change of surname when she goes back. I guess they will go to my mother to make a fuss after they find out." She regretted not asking for leave to stay home during evening self-study.

"But you are living with your aunt now, isn't it normal to change your surname?" It is basically like this now. After divorce, you take the surname of whoever you live with.

"Reasonable people naturally won't mind, but unreasonable people will always find a reason to make trouble no matter what." Jiang Lili said in a light tone.

"That's true, but everyone should understand your choice, so don't worry too much." Ke Sisi comforted.

"Well, let's do our homework first." Now that things have come to this, there's no point in thinking any more.

When Jiang Lili returned home that night, she was a little surprised to learn that no one from the Ji family had come over. "This isn't like their style, is it?"

"Who knows? Don't worry about them. Just eat and have a rest." Although Jiang Yulan said this, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Could it be that Ye Qiuju has good news, so they can't take care of me anymore?" Jiang Lili guessed. It's not that she is narcissistic. She has seen with her own eyes that people from the iron factory praised themselves, and the old couple laughed so hard that the wrinkles on their faces were wrinkled together.

"If that's the case, would you feel sad?" Jiang Yulan asked seriously. Ever since she realized that Ji's parents favored boys over girls, she tried to reduce Lili's chances of meeting them. She didn't want Lili to be sad about this.

"Of course not. Don't worry, I won't give any extra glances to those who don't love me." Jiang Lili would not waste time on herself, and would not ask them why they didn't like her in a self-pitying way.

"You're right to think so. Besides them, there are many people who love you. By the way, your grandfather went to inquire about the toy factory we talked about last evening, but he hasn't heard of any plans to sell it off yet."

"Grandpa is so quick?" Now it was Jiang Lili who was surprised.

"He has always been restless. I've thought about it. What you said makes sense. Maybe we can move in this direction." Jiang Yulan has already planned her future direction, which is an industry related to children.

"Okay, we'll think about it slowly." Jiang Lili planned to go to the toy factory next door after the holiday to see how "backward" the toys they were making were. Thinking of the various types of toys available in modern times, she felt that she could do it.

"These are not things you should worry about. Don't worry, Mom can support the two of us." When Jiang Yulan spoke, she remembered what Ji Yushu had said about doing business before. She didn't know how far he had progressed now. Of course, she was not concerned about him, but she felt that she could not lose to him.

After a good night's sleep, Jiang Lili now goes to school after breakfast every day and does not have to go back for morning self-study. Therefore, she missed Chen Guilan and Ji Yuanping's trip to the cotton mill.

This time, the two of them probably had someone behind the scenes directing them, so they didn't just roll around and throw a tantrum. Instead, they went straight to Jiang Yulan's leader to explain their intentions. The news of Jiang Yulan and Ji Yushu's divorce had long been spread throughout the cotton mill, and no one expected this sequel. As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling person, and the old couple was currently behaving decently, so the leader could only ask someone to call Jiang Yulan over.

It wasn't until she saw the old couple that Jiang Yulan realized what the bad premonition she had felt yesterday was. She greeted Director Liu next to her, but Director Liu gave her a helpless look: "Yulan, have a good chat with them and resolve any misunderstandings."

The director quickly left the office to the three of them. After Director Liu left, Ji Yuanping spoke directly: "Jiang Yulan, I heard that you changed Lili's last name."

"Yes, so you came here today just for this matter?" Jiang Yulan said as she glanced at the two of them and snorted in her heart, Ji Yushu is a coward, does he need his parents to help him with this kind of thing?

"What's wrong with you? Even if we're divorced, Lili is still the daughter of my Ji family. You'd better change her name back." Ji Yuanping said as he patted the table in the office.

"Let me remind you that everything here is public property. You have to pay for any damage. Also, Lili doesn't need any of your consent to change her surname." Jiang Yulan said coldly.

"If you don't change back, we will come to your factory to make trouble every day, and you can forget about living a peaceful life." Chen Guilan threatened.

"Come and make trouble. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. You come to make trouble for me, and I will find someone to make trouble for Ye Qiuju, so that everyone will know that your grandson was born out of wedlock before he is even born." Jiang Yulan looked fearless. She finally understood that to deal with shameless people, you have to act even more shameless.

"You dare." Chen Guilan spoke without thinking. The second child has been sleeping at Ye Qiuju's place every day recently. Maybe there has been good news.

"Why shouldn't I? If you don't want me to live a good life, then no one should live a good life. At worst, I can just take a leave of absence from my job and go to the iron factory every day to tell everyone about the good things your Ji family has done." Jiang Yulan had a desperate expression on her face, and Ji Yuanping was so angry that he pointed at her and said "you, you, you" several times.

"As expected, if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. Don't you know that pointing at people is very rude? Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go to work." After saying this, Jiang Yulan glanced at the two of them indifferently.

"We want to tell your leader that you are disrespectful to your elders and have a vicious mind," the old couple listed her "crimes" one by one.

Jiang Yulan didn't refute, but nodded: "Whatever you want, since I can't go to work, I'll go to the iron factory gate to make trouble."

"You are a vicious woman." Chen Guilan said as she wanted to go forward and pull her hair.

Jiang Yulan remained unmoved. This was in the factory. If she dared to make a move, she would send her to the police.

Ji Yuanping was obviously not so foolish. He grabbed Chen Guilan to stop her, glanced at Jiang Yulan coldly and said, "Let's go. Wait for the second brother to come back and handle it himself."

Jiang Yulan caught some useful information. Ji Yushu was not in Yuncheng. Thinking of how he used to contact the supply source in Guangdong every day, she had some guesses in her mind. She thought, he is really fast.

After the old couple left, Director Liu glanced at Jiang Yulan and said earnestly, "Yulan, you have to take care of this family matter. The factory's performance is getting worse year by year. Don't give them any handle."

"Director Liu, I understand. They won't come again. Thank you for your reminder." Jiang Yulan hurriedly thanked him. She was not a fool, so she naturally understood the implication in his words.

"I'm glad you understand. Go to work." Director Liu sighed. It's not that he wanted to be the bad guy, but someone had already reported the problem.

"Okay, thank you for trouble with today's matter, Director." Jiang Yulan said this before leaving the office, cursing the Ji family in her heart.

*

As for Ji Yushu, since the departure time was early, he left in a hurry. Most of the cash in his hand was sewn into the pocket of his underwear, and he put a few hundred yuan under the soles of his shoes. It was his first time to take a train with so much money, so he was inevitably a little nervous. He remained highly alert on the train and kept looking around.

Zhao Dacheng, who was sitting next to him, chuckled: "Brother Ji, relax a little. The more you act like this, the more people will see that you are a novice. Act more experienced and no one will stare at you."

"Brother Zhao, you are right." Although he said this, he did not let his guard down.

Zhao Dacheng didn't take it seriously and continued to talk to him about Guangzhou. During this time, he also received two phone calls, both of which were about goods. His eyes swept over Ji Yushu and said, "Well, don't worry. I've brought you a new buyer this time. For my sake, you have to give him a discount."

It was unclear what the person on the other end of the phone said. Zhao Dacheng responded twice and quickly hung up. Then he smiled and explained to Ji Yushu, "The boss in Guangzhou heard that I brought people in, and he said he would give you a discount."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Zhao." Ji Yushu had already figured it out. Although the five thousand yuan was a huge sum of money for him, it was not enough in Guangzhou. He would take less single-player machines and more tapes and discs, which he could rent or sell when he returned.

The speed of the green train was still steadily slow, and people were feeling sleepy due to the shaking, but Ji Yushu forced himself to stay awake and did not dare to fall asleep. He persisted for 38 hours. The moment he heard the train arrive at the station, Ji Yushu relaxed completely. He had finally arrived.

He followed Zhao Dacheng and watched him take him to a hotel after many twists and turns. He asked cautiously, "Brother Zhao, is it safe here?" Before coming to Guangzhou, he had heard that there were many cases of motorcycle gangs snatching bags here.

"It's safe, of course. I stay here every time I come to Guangzhou. If you don't think it's appropriate, why don't you pick another one yourself?" Zhao Dacheng gave him the right to choose again.

"That's not necessary. I was just asking casually. I'm sure I can trust Brother Zhao." Ji Yushu shook his head quickly.

"Okay, let's go in." After saying that, Zhao Dacheng threw away his cigarette butt and went inside to check in. Their rooms were next to each other, and Ji Yushu felt a little relieved.

"I see you didn't sleep much on the train. Have a good rest tonight and we'll go look at the goods together tomorrow," Zhao Dacheng suggested.

"I'll listen to Brother Zhao." Ji Yushu said happily, but when he returned to the room and saw the simple doors and windows, he couldn't help frowning.

Zhao Dacheng had already gone to take a shower expertly. When he came back, he told him where the shower was. "Let's go take a shower and then have dinner. People smell bad after staying on the train for too long."

"Okay, I'll go right away." When taking a shower, Ji Yushu took out the money from the soles of his shoes and put it on his body. No matter where he went, the money could not leave his sight.

Glancing at his back, Zhao Dacheng curled the corners of his lips. He was quite cautious. It was good that way. The more cautious a person was, the less likely he would be blamed if he lost something.

After taking a shower, Ji Yushu felt refreshed. Just as Zhao Dacheng had said, after being on the train for so long, his body and head smelled awful, and he felt sticky and uncomfortable. To be honest, he hadn't felt this miserable since returning to the city. The last time he felt this miserable was on the train back to the city.

He put his changed clothes into a plastic bag, intending to take them back to Ye Qiuju to wash them. After he had packed everything, he knocked on Zhao Dacheng's door next door: "Brother Zhao, I'm ready."

"Okay, let's go eat. Today, your brother Zhao will take you to try some delicious local food in Guangzhou." Zhao Dacheng smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Then I won't be polite to Brother Zhao." Ji Yushu nodded with a smile.

There were restaurants near the hotel. Zhao Dacheng, who was familiar with the place, took him into a restaurant and ordered a lot of special dishes. Finally, he asked for some wine. He looked at Ji Yushu and said, "Brother Ji, do you want some wine too?"

Ji Yushu hesitated for a moment and then shook his head: "Forget it, I'll drink with Brother Zhao when we get back."

"Okay." Zhao Dacheng nodded, not displeased. Ji Yushu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He ate while looking around at the people on the street outside and couldn't help but say, "It's true that big cities are still bustling."

"That's right. There are many factories in Guangzhou, and many people choose to come to Guangdong to work. There are quite a lot of outsiders here." Zhao Dacheng told him about the Guangdong he was familiar with.

Ji Yushu felt like this was another world, his eyes full of longing. Zhao Dacheng drank the wine in his glass: "How is it? It's good here. It's okay. There will be many opportunities to come here in the future. With this experience, you will be able to come here by yourself next time."

"Brother Zhao, you're joking. I still feel safer with you." Ji Yushu flattered with a smile.

"Brother Ji is good at talking. Come on, come on, eat some food." Zhao Dacheng said as he invited him to eat. Zhao Dacheng drank two taels of white wine during the meal. He felt a little dizzy, but he still insisted on paying the bill.

Ji Yushu lowered his eyes and thought, it seems that Zhao Dacheng is indeed a man of temperament, and he did not choose the wrong person.

This was Ji Yushu's first day in Guangzhou. Even after arriving at the hotel, he couldn't sleep well. After all, the doors and windows were too broken. Fortunately, nothing happened that night. The next day, he stared at Panda Eyes and Zhao Dacheng as they went to have breakfast. Zhao Dacheng pointed at his eyes in surprise and said, "Brother Ji, you didn't sleep well last night either?"

"I'm a bit picky about my bed." Ji Yushu made up an excuse.

"That's right. It's your first time out, so I understand. Come on, let's go have breakfast. I'll take you to see the goods later." Zhao Dacheng took him to eat rice noodle rolls. This time, he rushed to pay, but he still couldn't get the money from Zhao Dacheng. Afterwards, Zhao Dacheng patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It's okay. We are brothers. It doesn't matter who pays."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Zhao." Ji Yushu's favorable impression of Zhao Dacheng increased, and he gradually let down his guard against him.

In the following time, Zhao Dacheng took Ji Yushu to see the goods, which opened the door to a new world for Ji Yushu. In addition to electronic products, there were also clothes, shoes and bags. There were many people at the stall. Ji Yushu could not understand Cantonese, so Zhao Dacheng translated for him. Although some bosses could speak Mandarin, it was very unstandard, and Ji Yushu could barely understand 70% of it.

Ji Yushu was dazzled by what he saw along the way, and he felt that the money he brought was too little. He turned to look at Zhao Dacheng and asked, "Brother Zhao, aren't you going to take it today?"

"Didn't we book the return ticket for the day after tomorrow? Don't worry. I'll take you to have a closer look today and compare them yourself. There's still time to pick up the goods tomorrow." Zhao Dacheng explained.

Ji Yushu thought this was pretty good. He never thought that Zhao Dacheng, a grown man, could be so thoughtful. Moreover, he seemed to be very familiar with these bosses and could chat with each of them. Although he didn't understand a word they said, Zhao Dacheng looked very familiar with them, and he felt more and more lucky.

After visiting the stalls for a whole day, Ji Yushu was dazzled, but he did not forget to compare while looking, and secretly wrote down the stall number so that he could pick up the goods tomorrow. While doing this, he did not forget to secretly look at Zhao Dacheng next to him to make sure that he did not notice his little thoughts.

"Are you tired? Are you overwhelmed by the choices?" Zhao Dacheng looked at him with a smile.

"A little bit. Brother Zhao, aren't you going to pick up the goods this time?" Ji Yushu was a little curious.

"Take it. This time I plan to take some bags and women's shoes. The bags that are very popular among lesbians recently are made in Guangzhou." Zhao Dacheng said.

"Brother Zhao's business is really extensive." Ji Yushu's words were full of envy.

"Brother Ji, you can earn a living, too," Zhao Dacheng encouraged.

"Let's go, Brother Zhao. It's my turn to treat you to dinner tonight. Please don't refuse." After observing for the past two days, Ji Yushu felt that Zhao Dacheng was a person he could continue to interact with, so he was not stingy in his efforts.

"Okay, then I won't be polite with you." Zhao Dacheng nodded.

Ji Yushu was unusually generous during this meal and ordered quite a few dishes, but he was still cautious and did not drink. Only Zhao Dacheng drank. Zhao Dacheng did not mind, but said that after returning to Yuncheng, the two brothers must drink enough. Ji Yushu naturally agreed.

After dinner, Ji Yushu returned to the hotel. He took out his notes and calculated the quantity of goods he needed to pick up tomorrow. He closed his eyes and prepared for bed. After last night's experience, he wasn't as vigilant tonight, and soon fell asleep. About half an hour later, Zhao Dacheng, who was next door, heard his snoring and tiptoed out of his room. He drew a small square on his doorstep with chalk.
