In her previous life, old Mrs. Li wished she could pluck out her heart and liver to make soup for her children, yet in her old age, she faced indifference and evasion. Her children all kept their d...
She immediately got into the groove, acting out her words vividly: "'This project has government backing! I've invested all my savings in it!' Look, the tone is spot on!"
Huang Xiuying and Li Guifang exchanged glances - it turned out to be a stooge!
"Sister, your acting is amazing!" Li Jianghai flattered while rubbing his arm that was pinched by the door. "Do you have any tips?"
"That's not that difficult!" Aunt Xiao said proudly. "Just recite the lyrics with emotion, and that's it! Manager Liu was so happy that he gave me ten more eggs on the spot!"
She lowered her voice mysteriously and said, "I heard that if you behave well next time, you can give me fifty!"
Li Guifang suppressed her anger and continued to ask, "Sister, do you know where they usually recruit people?
We were pulled over on the street last time and wanted to go to other companies to earn some money.
Auntie Xiao slapped her thigh and said, "It's not that difficult! Companies often come looking for extras at the entrance of the vegetable market where those old men and women gather."
However, usually they just give two eggs to send people away. This time, this company was generous, but they wanted fewer people, so they only wanted me to go."
As the four people went back and forth, Aunt Xiao said a lot of nonsense like pouring melon seeds!
Several people were chatting animatedly, as if they were old acquaintances!
Aunt Xiao excitedly brought out half a basket of eggs from the kitchen: "Look, what fresh eggs! That company is really generous!"
Huang Xiuying saw that the groundwork had been laid, so she pretended to ask casually, "Sister, they didn't ask you to invest money, did they?"
"Why invest any money?" Old Mrs. Xiao waved her hand. "I said I'm just going to be an actor!"
"But!" she suddenly lowered her voice. "Manager Liu told me quietly that there's a particularly good investment project that he doesn't tell anyone else..."
Li Guifang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Sister, you haven't..."
"How can that be!"
Old Mrs. Xiao blinked proudly, "My son works in a bank. He said that those who are now calling for overseas investment are all scams.
I just want the eggs, nothing else!"
As he spoke, he stuffed two eggs into Li Guifang's hands and said, "Take it, take it. This kind of good thing doesn't come often!"
When the four people came out of Old Lady Xiao's house, they all had a few more eggs in their hands.
Li Jianghai stared at the egg in his hand, stunned: "So our trip was in vain?"
"In vain?" Li Guifang sneered, "Doesn't this just prove that Liu Guanggeng and the others were just fishing!
First, use small favors to get close to them, and then make your move once you're familiar with them!"
Wang Qinglai suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch!" "Should we remind Old Lady Xiao?"
"No need!" Huang Xiuying curled her lips. "I'm smart, I only take advantage and never suffer any loss! But you two..."
She glared at her old man fiercely, "You almost lost all your family fortune!"
