Xiao Cheng took a sip of tea: "Have you ever thought about teaching others after they've learned it?"
After the master finished teaching the apprentice, the apprentice went to open a class to teach. Bai Lu had thought about it, but said, "I can't speak for others, but if your brother goes to teach, no one will dare to take his job before our teaching career is over."
This is also one of the reasons why Bai Lu cooperated with Xiao Cheng; Xiao Cheng's reputation could save her a lot of trouble.
Anyone who wants to start a small business or any other business venture has to first understand the rules of the trade.
Everyone knows who the big shots and small shots are in the market, and which powerful figures in the underworld you can't afford to offend.
Trying to steal a job from a big shot? They're asking for trouble.
As Xiao Cheng looked at Bai Lu's confident and resolute expression, the corners of his eyes lifted slightly, and the complex emotions in his eyes gradually faded.
He asked, seemingly intentionally yet unintentionally, "Did you suddenly decide to cooperate with me today, or have you been thinking about this for a while now?"
"Of course it already existed before."
Bai Lu smiled and refilled Xiao Cheng's cup, which still had a third of tea left: "Others have protective umbrellas, but I have a towering tree. It's good to take shelter under a big tree."
The room was unusually quiet, so quiet that the only sound was the clapping of buttons, and the sound was quite loud.
"pain."
Xiao Cheng once again realized how different he was in terms of treatment when he was sober versus when he was drunk.
What about here?
Does it hurt?
Looking at the large hand in front of her, Bai Lu suddenly remembered something: "Is the wound on your back healed? Do you still feel any pain? Should I apply the medicated wine again?"
Bai Lu stood behind Xiao Cheng, unable to see his facial expression. She pressed on several spots along the edge of the wound, but he said it hurt each time, and unconsciously moved her hand to a spot further away.
The next morning, when Yu Fugui came to Bai Lu's house to pick up chestnuts, he invited Xiao Cheng to go to the city to watch TV.
Xiao Cheng's eyes revealed admiration: "Quite a vision."
Xiao Cheng replied calmly, "It hurts."
Bai Lu wasn't sure if he had broken a bone, so she gently pressed her finger against the faded scar.
This wasn't the first time Xiao Cheng had been injured, and he knew all too well that the small wound on his back should have healed long ago.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
She spoke softly, "I don't feel anything."
Based on the recovery speed I saw last night, I should be almost fully recovered today, so it doesn't matter whether I apply any ointment or not.
Outside the window, everything was beautiful and peaceful, and inside, the atmosphere was also tranquil, silently drawing people closer together.
Xiao Cheng turned his face away, a slight smile playing on his lips, and cleared his throat somewhat awkwardly: "Why haven't I heard you mention this before?"
He slowly and methodically began to unbutton his clothes.
Where would I find the time to read?
Xiao Cheng looked at the fair, white hand in front of him, slowly reached out, and gently shook her hand, controlling his strength.
Her tone was as calm as if it were everyday life, and her slender figure was reflected in the open window, both blurry and clear.
The 1990s were different from the 21st century; it is now commonplace and unsurprising for women to do business.
Looking at the roses blooming under the moonlight outside the window, Xiao Cheng said naturally, "I don't feel better."
A big frog came to the stream in the backyard, croaking and announcing to the neighbors that a new guest had moved in.
If you were to ask what it feels like to be praised by a big shot, Bai Lu would blatantly give him a flirtatious wink, which would clearly convey: "You know, I know, we all know~"
He figured it probably meant saying goodbye that evening, so he naturally replied, "Goodnight."
Xiao Cheng agreed: "Mm."
Looking at the vibrant pink roses, Xiao Cheng said softly, "Okay."
He said, "I don't know."
Xiao Cheng was pleased that Bai Lu had finally realized he was also reliable: "I have time."
Her subconscious behavior was so natural!
Bai Lu deeply reflected on her mistakes and said seriously, "Take off your shirt. Let me check your injury. If it's healed, you won't need to apply the medicated wine anymore."
She looks just like a considerate wife to her husband.
I unscrewed the small medicine bottle, poured some medicinal wine into my palm, and patiently massaged his back: "You probably injured a bone. It takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. I'll rub it again tonight, and tomorrow I'll buy some bones to make soup to help you recover."
Xiao Cheng, without any regard for his pride, said, "It hurts."
The person in front of me is a big shot, not a child.
Bai Lu changed her position again: "And here?"
Bai Lu could only turn off the TV and take him back to his room to check on him. She immediately pulled her hand back as soon as it reached his collar.
In this era, things are different. For a woman like her to do business, it's not just that she's not well-regarded; she'll definitely encounter more troubles than men. She'll spend all her time dealing with problems, so how can she live a good life?
The burning heat was rubbed away on my back, and the pain subsided considerably without me even realizing it. I don't know if it was replaced by pleasure or if the soft, boneless hands were taking pity on me.
Bai Lu noticed the boss's displeased tone when he was being treated like a fool, and silently withdrew her hand from his shoulder.
Xiao Cheng's senses followed the soft fingertips on his back without being misled by his subconscious.
"Because you're opening a shop, I'm afraid you won't have the time." As early as when she decided to sell the recipe for roasted chestnuts, Bai Lu's only potential partner was Xiao Cheng, without exception.
—May 29, 1997, sunny. Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's family installed their first television set.
Bai Lu told Wen Xiuyun about teaching how to make roasted chestnuts, and Wen Xiuyun was overjoyed and immediately expressed her desire to learn.
Under the bright light, Bai Lu saw the faint marks on Xiao Cheng's back that had almost completely healed and breathed a sigh of relief.
Choosing a few reliable brothers won't take much time, Bai Lu understood: "Then it's settled."
Why bother going it alone when there's a smooth road ahead? Partnering with Xiao Cheng is the best choice.
After applying the medicated wine, Bai Lu watched Xiao Cheng get dressed, saw him off at the door, and said goodnight to him from the doorway.
Does it hurt here too?
Bai Lu extended her hand: "President Xiao, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
"It's healed, no need to wipe it anymore."
Xiao Cheng had heard Bai Lu say goodnight many times, but he didn't know what it meant.
"pain."
The little fish's territory has gained new neighbors, but this does not affect their swimming and playing on and under the river at all. They blow bubbles more and more happily, and gently peck at the moonlight.
After discussing it, Wen Xiuyun and Yu Fugui decided to get a new 21-inch television.
The little crickets in the vegetable garden were chirping, whether out of welcome or fear of their natural predator, their larger companion, was unclear.
Bai Lu moved to a different spot and pressed around the faint mark: "What about here?"
This is a hard-won opportunity. Even if you buy a new TV and are not very well-off, you can still scrape together three thousand yuan. This is a sure-fire way to make money.
You'll earn it back in no time.
Wen Xiuyun wasn't in a hurry to open her stall. She went home first to get money to register Bai Lu. Only after registering did she remember that she and Yu Fugui were family, and had two sales channels.
It costs 3,000 yuan per person, so it would cost 6,000 yuan for two people. She and Yu Fugui would have to pay two tuition fees.
After much hesitation, Wen Xiuyun couldn't help but ask Bai Lu for a favor: "Bai Lu, your Uncle Fugui and I are family... Could you possibly cover one person's tuition?"
