"Comrade, is there anything I can help you with..."

Wang Peng was taken aback. The person who had been quietly touching the car turned around, and it turned out to be Li Mengjiao.

"Hehe." Li Mengjiao smiled and said, "I recognize this car, and I know your license plate number."

"How come you're here?" Wang Peng shook his head and said, "What a coincidence, I just arrived in the capital yesterday."

Li Mengjiao stretched out her hand and pointed to a tall building diagonally opposite.

The Union Jack was flying from the flagpole; it was the Embassy of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

"I plan to study in Cambridge, England, and I'm here to apply for a student visa."

Li Mengjiao smiled and said, "Brother, the world is so big, I want to go out and clear my head."

The two locked eyes, and Wang Peng tried to guess what she was thinking.

Since Li Mengjiao got drunk in the provincial capital and pretended to be drunk to confess her feelings to him, the two have lost contact.

Unexpectedly, during this meeting, Li Mengjiao was going to study in the UK.

"Do your parents know about this?" Wang Peng asked.

“They all support my decision to study abroad and have already prepared the tuition fees.”

Li Mengjiao nodded and said, "My visa is under review, and I don't think there will be any major problems."

After saying that, she looked up at the Comic King sign and asked, "Brother, is Mingzhu's comic going to be published?"

Wang Peng shook his head. "The editor thinks highly of her comics. If everything goes smoothly, they might be published in Comic King magazine."

"Congratulate her for me; she's a smart girl."

Li Mengjiao placed her hands on her chest and said, "Brother, can you tell me the truth? Why did you choose her instead of me?"

As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears.

"Don't get agitated," Wang Peng said, unsure how to explain.

You can't say that Li Mingzhu was his wife in a past life, and that she suffered a lifetime of hardship with him in that life, so she must make it up to him in this life.

"Actually, I've always considered you family, and your parents as my own uncles and aunts."

Wang Peng said, "Mengjiao, do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Hmm!" Li Mengjiao suddenly smiled and waved to Wang Peng's back, "Mingzhu, long time no see."

"Sister Mengjiao, it's been a long time." Li Mingzhu handed the handbag to Wang Peng and stretched out her arms.

She hugged Li Mengjiao warmly, "Mengjiao, what are you doing here?"

Li Mengjiao then explained in more detail how she had seen Wang Peng's car while applying for a student visa.

Upon hearing that she was going to study abroad, Li Mingzhu suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

"Sister Mengjiao, Tsinghua University is one of the best universities in the country. In terms of business administration, it's no worse than Cambridge, right?"

“Mingzhu, it’s not that the problem can’t be found out, but that I want to change my living environment,” Li Mengjiao said.

Wang Peng pointed to the restaurant across the street, took out his car keys from his pocket, and said, "It's noon, let's eat and chat."

The three arrived at the restaurant, and Wang Peng asked for a private room and ordered a hot pot.

Order the side dishes, light the fire, and close the door to the private room.

The two girls sat together chatting, and Wang Peng was in charge of serving them hot pot.

"Mingzhu, can your comic be published?" Li Mengjiao asked.

Li Mingzhu immediately took out a document and said, "Sister Mengjiao, take a look."

This is the contract; Comic King magazine has signed a contract with Li Mingzhu's comic One Piece.

Starting from the first of next month, the comic will be officially serialized in the domestic comics section of the magazine, with one volume published each month.

One volume has twenty-five pages, and the manuscript fee is ten yuan per page.

"Sister Mengjiao, this is the royalties for the first volume."

Li Mingzhu opened her bag, took out 250 yuan, and said, "It's my treat today, order whatever you like."

"Haha, then I won't be polite," Li Mengjiao said. "Brother Peng, another fifty yuan's worth of mutton rolls, please."

Wang Peng nodded and got up to leave the private room.

Ten yuan per page isn't much. If the quality and quantity are good, my girlfriend can only draw a maximum of fifty pages a month, which is five hundred yuan.

The waitress was standing at the entrance to the stairs, and Wang Peng told her the price of mutton was fifty yuan.

After ordering the dishes, I turned around to go back to the private room, only to find that the door was locked from the inside.

"Brother, I need to have a private chat with Sister Mengjiao. We'll order mutton later." It was Li Mingzhu's voice.

"Okay." Wang Peng turned and went downstairs, telling the waiter not to serve mutton for the time being.

The door to the private room was locked, so he couldn't go back inside. There were many newspapers on the newspaper rack, and he sat at the door reading them.

As I was reading, an interesting news story piqued my interest.

Zhou He, a professional anti-counterfeiting activist in Beijing, bought 300 No. 1 batteries from a large store for 300 yuan.

I took the receipt and the battery to the Industry and Commerce Bureau for appraisal, and it turned out that the battery was counterfeit. I demanded that the store compensate me 900 yuan.

According to the Consumer Rights Protection Law, sellers of counterfeit goods shall be compensated with three times the amount of the counterfeit goods.

The merchant refused to pay compensation, so the two parties went to court, and the court eventually ruled that the merchant should pay three times the amount in compensation.

"Wow, there are professional fraud hunters now?"

Just then, Li Mingzhu appeared at the top of the stairs. "Brother, hurry up and get the mutton."

Wang Peng put down his newspaper, gave his room number, and got up to follow Li Mingzhu back to the private room.

Soon, the waiter brought over the mutton, and Wang Peng continued to serve them.

The two girls chatted happily, and the conversation flowed more and more freely.

Halfway through their hotpot meal, Li Mengjiao looked at Wang Peng with a smile and asked, "Brother, did you register a family planning products company in Scotland?"

Wang Peng was taken aback, then nodded. "Mingzhu told you everything?"

"Yes, Mingzhu told me everything, haha."

Li Mengjiao laughed, "She also said that Du Lei was getting very close to a group of prostitutes and asked them if they would be willing to use condoms."

"Ha ha."

Both girls laughed, laughing so hard they were doubled over.

Wang Peng chuckled, wondering what they were laughing at.

However, Du Lei, that big, burly man, doing a survey about condoms was indeed somewhat comical.

A few minutes later, Li Mengjiao stopped laughing and instead looked serious.

"Brother, Mingzhu just asked me to help you run that company. Are you willing?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Wang Peng nodded hurriedly and said, "Really, I really couldn't ask for more."

If someone is in charge, he can import them through customs and then sell them officially.

The key point is that condoms are not a commodity here; they simply don't exist on the market.

"Brother, I studied business administration. Aren't you afraid I'll bankrupt your company?" Li Mengjiao asked with a smile.

"What are you afraid of?" Wang Peng laughed. "Don't try to empty your pockets. I won't give you a salary, I'll just give you five percent of the shares."

"Deal!" Li Mengjiao immediately held out her hand.

She added, "When I get back to school, I'll call my parents and ask them to invest in our company."

"Investment?" Wang Peng frowned slightly. "The topic of condoms is quite sensitive. Are they willing to invest?"

"I will persuade them, so don't worry."

Li Mengjiao said, "They only have me as their son, so they will definitely invest. The main thing is that I think this business will definitely work."

Wang Peng was taken aback; this business was indeed very profitable.

However, Wang Peng relied on intelligence from his past life, while Li Mengjiao relied on true business acumen.

Li Mingzhu clapped her hands and said, "Sister Mengjiao, brother, let's come up with a business plan right here."
