Huang Zheyue followed Zhou Mingli around Guang City, listening to how he negotiated prices with these merchants and skillfully avoided the traps they set for him.
Even when eating at a small, unassuming restaurant, you can still find out what the owner does for a living just by exchanging a few words with them.
Huang Zheyue even learned that the people working at this tiny restaurant were actually helping out there; some were anesthesiologists at a hospital, and others were lawyers at a newly opened law firm in Guang City…
Huang Zheyue dared not speak and ate in silence.
Zhou Mingli also left his law firm's phone number, saying he would contact him later regarding contract-related matters, to which they readily agreed.
When they got back, Huang Zheyue asked him, "Did you really contact them?"
“If we expand our business to Guang City, we might actually come in handy with this.” Zhou Mingli waved the card in his hand. “However, when you’re out in the world, when you make friends with the locals, you only need to listen to three or four pieces of information; you don’t have to believe everything you hear.”
"We're all strangers meeting for the first time, and it's uncertain whether we'll stay in touch in the future."
Huang Zheyue has learned a lot.
Zhou Mingli also took Huang Zheyue on a tour of several universities in Guang City, so that he could experience what universities in other cities are like.
"The best school in the South is in another city, which is quite far from here. You can go there yourself if you want later."
Huang Zheyue asked, "Can I go out by myself?"
Zhou Mingli was surprised, "Are your legs attached to mine? How can I tell you where you go or don't go?"
Huang Zheyue: "…………"
He was slightly taken aback, but then he thought about how, besides the living expenses he paid to Uncle Zhou, he had saved several hundred yuan over the years, enough to go wherever he wanted.
But...
Huang Zheyue didn't plan to go out. He followed Zhou Mingli's example and discussed it with Dazhu. The two of them took the money to buy cassette tapes and stationery.
As Dazhu ran, he said, "The students at our school all love Deng Junjun's songs, and Zhang Rongrong's too! Selling their tapes will definitely make money!"
"They really enjoy listening to their songs."
Huang Zheyue said, "Uncle Zhou said we should avoid mass-produced goods, and their genuine tapes are definitely expensive. We only have five hundred yuan in total. Buying pirated tapes is easy to get caught, so it's better to buy the kind of tapes from abroad."
"The kind of rock band!"
Huang Zheyue attended the No. 1 Middle School. Although the students were well-behaved at school, they would secretly listen to tapes after school. Huang Zheyue discovered that many of the more outgoing male students liked to listen to foreign rock music.
They say this is the trend.
"Then we'll buy some of each."
"Can."
Huang Zheyue kept in mind everything she saw and heard while following Zhou Mingli.
He could buy a lot of pirated foreign cassette tapes with his money, but he had to be picky about the ones.
The tape must be good, playable, and contain good songs.
They spent most of their money on cassette tapes, and with the remaining hundred yuan, they quickly bought a whole bunch of flashy stationery that girls like Cheng Ke and Miao Miao would obviously like.
When leaving Guang City, Huang Zheyue and Dazhu secretly put their belongings in the car.
Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu saw it, but pretended not to.
Zhou Mingli invited the old driver to get in the car, and asked the two children to watch the goods in the back. He and Brother Yu took turns driving, and it took them another half month to get back to Beijing.
They arrived in the afternoon, and Beijing in July was already in the sweltering heat.
The truck pulled up to Wangfujing, and Huang Zheyue and Dazhu stood behind it, looking up. "Hey! Look over there!"
"Why are there so many people gathered here!"
Huang Zheyue doesn't come here often and doesn't know where Uncle Zhou's newly bought house is.
Dazhu often came here with his mother and father to buy goods and sell them. When he saw the place where everyone was gathered, he exclaimed in surprise, "That's the house that Uncle Zhou bought!"
"ah?!"
Zhou Mingli and Brother Yu also noticed it. Brother Yu looked at Zhou Mingli and asked, "What happened?"
"Put the car aside first, I'll go down and take a look."
"good."
Brother Yu quickly parked the car, and Zhou Mingli said to the old driver, "Master Yun, there's a situation, I'll go take a look."
Master Yun was exhausted from the long drive, so he nodded and let him go.
Zhou Mingli got out of the car and walked towards his home.
"I don't care! This is my brother's house! He left it to my nephew, but it's also partly mine! Either you move your things out, or I'll smash everything!"
"What do you mean, 'a share'? Don't think you can treat others like fools just because you have a loud voice! The police already told us when you came here the last few times that you had already taken your share of the money and left. Now that your nephew has sold the house to us, you're trying to get it back?"
"Pah! Even if your face is a city wall, I'll tear it down today! This house belongs to us, in black and white, and has nothing to do with you!"
"If you dare touch those things today, I'll make you squat in the fence!"
Before Zhou Mingli could even squeeze in, he heard a powerful, imposing noise.
Upon hearing this, Dazhu, who had jumped down, laughed.
That was his mother's voice.
Sister-in-law Yu is also a formidable person. She works quickly and efficiently. Coming from the countryside, she is also quite adept at arguing.
"Stop talking nonsense! A dog that looks after someone else's house dares to bark here! Where's that woman who came last time? Tell her to come over! I want to talk to her!"
Da Zhu, who had been smiling, suddenly turned pale and pushed through the crowd.
As Sister-in-law Yu was cursing, a person suddenly jumped out in front of her, grabbed the collar of the person confronting her, and said coldly, "Who are you cursing!"
Sister-in-law Yu was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was her eldest son who had returned.
Dazhu's return means that her husband and second son have also returned.
Sister-in-law Yu instantly felt more confident.
"Who the hell are you, you snot-nosed brat?! Let me go right now!"
The man was still shouting.
Dazhu punched the man.
The man got angry and was about to retaliate when someone grabbed his arm.
A man who was half a head taller than him stood beside him.
The man roared, "Damn it! Who are you?!"
Zhou Mingli looked at him calmly, "Aren't you looking for the current owner of this house?"
"If you have anything to say, come and tell me."
The man looked at the tall and imposing Zhou Mingli and fell silent.
Zhou Mingli held his hand tightly, saying each word clearly, "That woman you mentioned who didn't come is my wife. What did you say to her? Tell me now."
Even though Zhou Mingli spoke calmly and without any anger, the man felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously sensed that he was not someone to be trifled with.
But this house...
Houses drive people crazy.
It makes people lose their minds.
The man, emboldened by some unknown source, suddenly and forcefully pulled his wrist out of Zhou Mingli's hand!
"This house belongs to me! I didn't agree to buy it! Your contract is invalid! Move out right now!"
"I'm telling you, this is my last warning. If you don't move out, I'm going to have people come looking for you!"
