"Uncle Wang, you're too kind!"

As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since the other party took the initiative to come to his door and even brought a small gift, he would naturally be more polite on the surface.

Taking the candy from Wang Dalin, Wang Qian pointed to a few chairs in the yard, "Uncle Wang, Aunt Liu, please sit wherever you like."

"Okay, okay!"

Wang Dalin let out a long sigh and sat down in a chair with Liu Qingshui, but he was restless.

He was actually mentally prepared for Wang Qian's sarcastic remarks.

To his surprise, Wang Qian greeted him with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, you must have come for the land in Heikangou, right?"

Wang Qian didn't bother with beating around the bush and sat down opposite Wang Dalin, immediately getting straight to the point.

"Yeah yeah!"

Wang Dalin nodded repeatedly.

Actually, Wang Qian was a little embarrassed to speak up if he hadn't said it.

"Uncle Wang, do you have any objections?" Wang Qian continued to ask.

"No, no objections!"

Wang Dalin said awkwardly, "If you want it, we'll sell it to you at what you just said at Zheng Laoliu's house, 1,500 a mu, how about that?"

Seeing that Wang Qian was still hesitating, he quickly added, "As for the things we had before, they were all misunderstandings. I hope you won't take them to heart."

"Since Uncle Wang has said so, then... alright!"

After a moment's consideration, Wang Qian finally nodded reluctantly, "Then I'll draft a contract another day, and then you can just sign and put your fingerprint on it."

"Okay!"

Wang Dalin breathed a sigh of relief. "Then you go ahead with your work. I'll head back now. Let me know when you've drafted the contract, and I'm ready to sign it anytime."

After reaching an agreement with Wang Qian, Wang Dalin and Liu Qingshui left.

"I didn't expect Wang Qian to be so easy to talk to!"

Once they were away from Wang Qian's house, Liu Qingshui was overjoyed. "It's 1,500 yuan per mu. Our family has a full five mu of land in Heikangou. If he buys it all, it will cost 7,500 yuan."

"Yes, that's a huge sum of money."

Wang Dalin also looked on with anticipation, saying, "I just hope Wang Qian won't change his mind halfway through."

"I wish we had just signed the contract. I'm really afraid he'll change his mind and not want it."

...

Wang Qian's home.

"They've left?"

Wang Yuanguang walked over, indignantly saying, "Xiao Qian, how could you buy land from someone like Wang Dalin? Couldn't you have chosen somewhere else?"

"That's the most suitable place!"

Wang Qian said, "Anyway, once you sign it, it has nothing to do with him anymore."

"I'm afraid he'll cause some trouble along the way."

Wang Yuanguang was still somewhat worried, "If this kind of person finds out you're making money in the future, they'll definitely deliberately cause trouble again."

"Dad, don't worry, he can't cause much trouble."

...

the next day.

Wang Qian got up early and went directly to the bus station.

"Xiao Qian, you're here!"

Yang Shenglong, who had been preparing for a long time, was already waiting at the station.

Since deciding to work for Wang Qian yesterday, he went home, washed his clothes, and made ample preparations.

He didn't care where Wang Qian went, what he was asked to do, or how long he needed to be away from home.

This is a turning point in his life, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that he must seize.

"Brother Long, when did you arrive?"

Wang Qian was somewhat surprised.

"Xiao Qian... oh no, I should call you boss from now on."

Yang Shenglong scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Don't call me 'Brother Long' anymore. Just call me by my name or 'Little Long'."

"It doesn't matter what you call me."

Wang Qian reached out and patted Yang Shenglong on the shoulder. "It's the thought that counts. Do whatever is convenient for you. Besides, I'm used to calling you 'Brother Long,' so don't feel uncomfortable about it."

"Well... okay!"

Under Wang Qian's repeated insistence, Yang Shenglong had no choice but to agree.

Soon after, the two got into the car and set off for the county town.

"Xiao Qian, I'm still a little confused."

In the car, Yang Shenglong lowered his voice and said to Wang Qian, "If I follow you, what can I do in the future?"

He paused, then added, "I have no skills other than brute strength, and I'm afraid I'll be a burden to you."

“Brother Long, since I’ve asked you to follow me, there must be a way for you to use your strengths.” Wang Qian smiled.

"Sigh, okay, I hope you can arrange something for me to do as soon as possible, otherwise I'll feel a little ashamed."

Yang Shenglong still looked completely bewildered.

In his eyes, working and getting paid is a matter of course.

But yesterday Wang Qian said that he would start calculating his salary and pay him 200 yuan a month.

But so far, apart from helping Wang Qian fool Wang Dalin's family yesterday, he hasn't done anything else.

And he's still getting paid.

He felt guilty accepting this salary.

"Brother Long, don't feel guilty at all, really."

Wang Qian patiently explained, “I’m asking you to work for me, not to work on an assembly line or do some clerical job. You don’t need to be working all the time. If I ask you to do something in the future, just do your best to accomplish it.”

"I see..."

Yang Shenglong seemed to understand, but not quite.

...

Soon, they arrived in the county town by bus.

"Xiao Qian, where do we go next?"

As soon as he got out of the car, Yang Shenglong asked.

"Let's go check out the nearby clothing stores."

With that, Wang Qian strode toward the clothing store a kilometer away.

Yang Shenglong silently followed, carrying a cloth bundle on his back and wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket.

Walking among the skyscrapers, he appeared somewhat embarrassed, his expression one of fear and trepidation.

He seemed to be born to live in the countryside, and always looked out of place walking on the city streets.

"arrive!"

Wang Qian stopped in front of a clothing store, turned around and said to Yang Shenglong, "We're here, let's go in."

"Huh? We need to go in?"

Yang Shenglong was somewhat resistant.

This clothing store is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean.

But he was covered in dust and grime, and he was really afraid of dirtying other people's shops and being looked at strangely by these city people.

"How are you going to pick out clothes if you don't go inside?"

Without waiting for Yang Shenglong to say anything, Wang Qian grabbed him and pulled him into the clothing store.

What clothes should I choose?

Yang Shenglong panicked a little. "You can choose for yourself. I'll wait for you outside."

As he spoke, he prepared to break free from Wang Qian's grasp and run away.

"I bought it for you, why are you running away?"

Wang Qian then realized that Yang Shenglong had misunderstood and hurriedly explained, "I brought you here to buy clothes, not for me to buy any."

"Buy it for me?"

Yang Shenglong's eyes widened.

After realizing what he had done, he hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum, "No need, really no need, my clothes are fine, I don't need to buy new ones."

Finally, he added to himself, "I don't have the money to buy such high-end clothes right now."
