Chapter 40: Follow the Scrap Collector
Weird, why didn't anyone reply to the message?
"Family, why are you all silent? Aren't you going to slack off today?"
"Strange, why are you guys so quiet in the group today? It seems like the boss is here, there's complete silence. He's even been kicked out of the livestream by the young lady. Hahahaha, it's hilarious..."
Then, Lu Shijing asked in the group: "Are you free?"
Lin Kai apologized tremblingly and retracted the message, saying, "Today is April Fool's Day, I'm telling you all a joke, hahahaha..."
When he returned, he found that all the messages were from colleagues, saying that he had sent the message to the wrong group.
Lin Kai was too arrogant, which is why he ended up like this.
Seeing the finance department inform him that half a month's salary was gone was more painful than killing him!
Damn, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable I feel...

After Gu Shengsheng contacted them and asked them to come and start work, there was no need to stay here.
I'm getting ready to pack up and just wander around.
"Collecting junk!"
"The one-dollar books are useless, the fifty-cent books take up space, and the five-cent books require a queue!"
"Collecting junk!"
Gu Shengsheng looked at an old man riding a tricycle and wandering around.
There are not many people here to begin with, which adds a bit of life to the quiet atmosphere.
It just so happened that the tricycle was too big, and it was a bit difficult to go up the hill directly. Gu Shengsheng was very perceptive and walked over to help push it.
She was already quite strong, and she used a lot of strength to help the old man.
Seeing Gu Shengsheng standing alone on the side of the road, the old man smiled and said, "Little girl, do you want to sell some scrap?"
Gu Shengsheng shook her head: "My home is not here."
"Then did you buy a new piece of land here?" Looking at Gu Shengsheng holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, he was still standing in front of a pile of dilapidated houses.
"No one has been here for ages! Wouldn't it be a big loss if you bought this place? It must have cost a lot of money!"
"Yes." She showed a beautiful smile, "But I know what I am doing."
The uncle wasn't one to meddle in other people's business. He simply said, "Thank you for helping me push the cart. I have to go to the scrap market anyway. Come with me over there and I'll treat you to some brown sugar water."
The things in the courtyard house are too expensive, and he usually can't bear to spend anything.
"Anyway, I'll be back to the scrap market after just one walk around. How about you follow me around first? Seeing as you're from out of town too, I can take you for a spin on my tricycle."
As he spoke, Gu Shengsheng looked at the things that were full inside, including old appliances, some unused waste paper, many usable enamel basins, and a lot of scrap copper and iron.
She had nothing to do anyway, so it was no big deal for her to go to the scrap market for some fun.
She was not even afraid that this uncle would pose a threat to her. After all, she could kill him with one punch.
It’s nothing, she’s just very strong, and she was also a black belt in Taekwondo before she came through.
Besides, this uncle is really sincere.
The owners of the soy milk shops all greeted him with familiarity.
Gu Shengsheng just looked at the tricycle and saw no place to stop. "Then how do I get there?"
"Just sit on these goodies!"
"Don't be fooled by the fact that these things are just a bunch of junk. We can still use some of them ourselves. I'll take some of them and sell them at the scrap market."
"Girl, did you just move here? If you go over there, you might be able to find something for yourself."
He smiled and said, "There have been quite a few people moving to Beijing these days. Everyone's been through a hard time. You can tell from the daily necessities like yours are in short supply, they're so skinny. You can buy them at the scrap market later, they'll be cheaper."
"Okay!" Gu Shengsheng replied with a smile.
She thought, maybe she could find some bargains by going to the scrap market?
Originally, we just wanted to have fun together, treating it as a ride on a tricycle.
The uncle is very good at driving a tricycle, and there are many old men driving tricycles around who greet him.
"Girl, how do you feel about riding in my convertible?"
Gu Shengsheng smiled and said, "It feels very comfortable, not hot."
"Exactly. Those other uncles' old men's cars say they can be used to win the hearts of those older women who dance in the square. I'm sure they'll be interested in my convertible, too."
"But when I make money collecting scrap, I'll buy you an old man's car. Then I'll take you for a ride."
Gu Shengsheng nodded, finding it amusing.
This thing is rarely seen in other cities, but in Beijing, I don’t know why, so many old men in the city and outside the city are enjoying it.
These old men and women live quite carefree lives.
Gu Shengsheng was carried by the old man and bumped around for a few times. The waste was getting closer and closer to her, surrounding her directly.
Gu Shengsheng did not start the live broadcast at this time, but netizens happened to see her and the old man waiting for the traffic light.
She was seen squatting in the middle of the tricycle, looking weak, pitiful and helpless, surrounded by waste.
Netizens laughed when they saw it:
"Weren't we told to go to Panjiayuan to pick up bargains? Why is he heading to the scrap market?"
"Could it be that her family members can help take her to Panjiayuan?"
"Help, this is hilarious! A streamer on a tricycle. But I don't know if this is the streamer, the photo is blurry."
"She should be the anchor, that's what she's wearing. Besides, she's so beautiful and yet she does something so outrageous, who else could it be but her?"
Sure enough, everyone started waiting for her live broadcast.
As soon as they arrived at the scrap market, Gu Shengsheng started the live broadcast.
Some were also a little surprised: "Why are there so many people at the start today?"
Netizens were all posting comments laughing at her, and then talking about the scrap market, and some were using the photo of her sitting on a tricycle to make emoticons.
Gu Shengsheng held his forehead helplessly.
Said: "Uncle invited me to come here to drink sweet soup, and by the way, take everyone to visit this scrap market. Anyway, you have never been here, right!"
"Anchor, you are sick, hahahahaha, who would go to the scrap market normally?"
"Exactly, anchor, we all know some good stuff by following you, right? I almost laughed! The way you were sitting on the tricycle."
Gu Shengsheng said seriously, "That old man drives very steadily. That tricycle is an improved electric one, so it's actually quite stable."
After saying this, netizens laughed even louder.
Gu Shengsheng originally just came here to try his luck, thinking that maybe he could find something good.
While drinking sugar water with the old man, he smiled and said, "What's wrong with you? What kind of job do you do? Why are you staring at this scrap market with such a shifty look in your eyes?"
If I didn't know that she could afford a courtyard house, I would have thought that she had some bad intentions towards the scrap market.
Gu Shengsheng answered seriously, "It's like appraising treasures and finding bargains. It's not a job, it's just a hobby."
"Oh, you're an treasure appraiser! You guys are quite good at this. The money you make is enough for me to spend my whole life." The old man laughed out loud.
It was as if he was imagining himself making money.
