Two houses can be bought for less than 40,000, which is indeed a good deal.
Zhou Mingli pondered for a moment and said, "After this batch of goods is shipped out, I'll go take a look at that house."
The accounts were kept by Zhou Mingli. Not long after leaving Guang City, the goods they sold had already earned back their principal. The sales they made after returning were pure profit.
Once all the goods in hand are sold, I can earn about 170,000 to 180,000 yuan.
Zhou Mingli recalculated the amount of money he had taken out; after buying the house, he would still have half left.
The next day, Zhou Mingli got up early, cooked breakfast, went into the room to see Jiang Ci who was still sleeping, and leaned over to kiss her on the lips.
Jiang Ci was half asleep, her eyes opening briefly, still drowsy.
"I'm going out. There's rice left in the pot." Zhou Mingli patted her head. "You can sleep a little longer."
Jiang Ci felt a little less sleepy after hearing him speak, and sat up to ask, "Shall we join Brother Yu and the others to set up a stall?"
Zhou Mingli responded, "I want to sell the goods as soon as possible."
"There's a blue thermos in the cabinet, a gift from Ambassador Henry. We also have some tea at home, pre-rain Maojian tea sent from the tea garden. Brew some in the thermos before you go."
Zhou Mingli listened with a smile, and only after she finished speaking did he reach out and hug her.
"good."
Zhou Mingli went to make tea, while Jiang Ci didn't need to rush to work. She had been rotated to the International Department, where she spent her days watching broadcasts of various countries' meetings, submitting proposals to the foreign ministries of international organizations for revision, and then proposing proposals at joint meetings.
The minister intends to have her serve as a deputy counselor in an international organization. With this experience, it will be easier to transfer her to a more important position after she returns to China.
Since the minister had not yet given her official notification, she pretended not to know and continued to rotate through various departments across the country.
Huang Zheyue also got up early; he was already eating when Jiang Ci finished washing up.
Just as Jiang Ci was about to eat, Huang Zheyue finished eating as well. He wiped his mouth and quickly chased after Zhou Mingli, calling out, "Uncle Zhou! Wait for me!"
"Aunt Jiang, I'm going to school!"
"Be careful on the road."
"good!"
Huang Zheyue caught up, panting. Zhou Mingli looked at him and said, "We're going in different directions."
He asserted confidently, "We're going the same way once we leave the alley!"
Zhou Mingli packed the thermos and asked, "Why are you following me instead of going to school?"
Huang Zheyue said, "Uncle, after I finish my college entrance exam, can we go into business together?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingli raised his eyebrows slightly.
Huang Zheyue rubbed her hands together, a little embarrassed. "I... I also want to earn some money before I go to university."
Zhou Mingli asked him, "Which school do you want to go to?"
Huang Zheyue immediately said, "Peking University!"
His Aunt Jiang graduated from Peking University, and he also wanted to go to Peking University.
Zhou Mingli said, "After you finish your college entrance exam, come with me to Guang City."
Huang Zheyue was excited, "Great!"
Zhou Mingli said, "Your college entrance exam is the most important thing right now. It's only a few months away, so don't overthink things."
Huang Zheyue grinned, his youthful and handsome face looking somewhat naive at this moment, "I understand, I know everything!"
He slung his bag over his shoulder and said, "I'm going to school!"
They run fast, though.
As soon as he stepped out of the alley, he encountered Shen Ting, who was waiting for him.
Shen Ting saw Zhou Mingli and waved to him, "Uncle Zhou!"
Zhou Mingli nodded and said with a faint smile, "Go to school."
"Let's go!"
Shen Ting rode his bicycle and took Huang Zheyue to school.
"Uncle Zhou said he'll take me to Guangshi after the college entrance exam!" Huang Zheyue excitedly shared her joy with her friends.
"Isn't that perfect? Just what you wanted."
Huang Zheyue patted Chen Ting on the back, "Do you want to go? I can talk to Uncle Zhou and ask him to take you along."
"I would like to, but my parents might not want me to go."
Shen Conghe and Tao Susu only have this one son, and they take good care of him, not wanting him to go too far from home.
"What's there to be afraid of if we follow Uncle Zhou? Nothing will go wrong..."
As the two were talking, they hurried toward the school, when suddenly two men with knives rushed out from the gold shop that Huang Zheyue and Chen Conghe always passed on their way to school.
Pedestrians were terrified when they saw them carrying weapons and screamed in panic.
"Get out of here! All of you, get out of here!"
They were masked, and their bundles were packed full, clearly indicating that they had taken many valuables.
"They stole the store's gold! Robbers! Catch them!"
The people in the gold shop screamed in despair.
But the streets were full of ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken. The two robbers were carrying knives that were stained with blood, clearly indicating that they had injured someone. How could they dare to go forward?
Shen Ting stopped his bicycle, but before he could take a closer look, the crowd in front of him suddenly dispersed, and he was caught off guard to find that the two robbers were actually heading straight for them!
"Watch out!" Huang Zheyue pulled Shen Ting aside, causing them to stumble. The wildly slashing knife missed its mark, and Huang Zheyue and Shen Ting fell to the ground, their bicycle also tilting to one side.
The robber kicked Shen Ting aside and was about to pick up the bicycle.
"My bike!" Shen Ting quickly got up and grabbed the back seat of the bicycle.
"Damn it! Let go of me!"
The robbers were extremely ruthless, raising their hands to chop at Shen Ting's hand.
Huang Zheyue reacted quickly and pulled Shen Ting away, thus preventing her from cutting off his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he kicked the bicycle. The two robbers had barely sat down and hadn't even run away when Huang Zheyue kicked them to the ground.
The gold in the bundle spilled out all at once, gleaming and extremely eye-catching.
One of the robbers quickly gathered the gold together, cursing as he did so, "Damn it! This is all mine! Nobody is allowed to touch it!"
