Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Well, I'm back. I was originally looking for you, but the door of your place was closed, so I wandered outside for a while, and then I ran into you.
But it’s a good thing you came, otherwise those hooligans would have harassed me today.”
Shen Jiaojiao glared at the thugs who seemed a little nervous at the moment.
After hearing what Shen Jiaojiao said, the gangsters' backs stiffened and they quickly walked up to Chen Guangkun and apologized humbly, "Brother Kun, I didn't know she was your friend. I'm sorry. I won't do that again in the future."
Chen Guangkun looked at the gangsters like a cold-faced devil and warned them, "If you dare to touch her, I will fight you to the death."
The gangsters nodded, "No, no, since she is Brother Kun's person, we will protect her in the future."
Then he apologized to Shen Jiaojiao, "Miss, I'm really sorry, we were wrong, but don't worry, these things will never happen again in the future."
Chen Guangkun shouted impatiently, "Get out of here!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The gangsters ran away immediately.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at the gangsters who were fleeing and said with a smile, "Goudan! You are doing well in the gang. You have become the boss now?"
Chen Guangkun smiled awkwardly and explained nervously, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not hanging out with them, I just..."
He talked about his experience in coming to Beijing.
A year ago, Chen Guangkun went to Beijing with the 500 yuan given to him by Shen Jiaojiao.
Returning to Beijing, I feel like I’m home.
But he didn't feel like home at all.
He came back here just to listen to Shen Jiaojiao's words.
The first thing I did when I came back was to find a house to settle down.
Then they started collecting and selling waste products without stopping.
The business gradually developed.
Because of this, he was targeted by nearby hooligans.
Those thugs wanted to make some money from him, but Chen Guangkun had a hot temper.
I would rather fight with those people than be threatened.
After fighting several battles at the risk of his life, the nearby thugs were afraid of him and dared not provoke him again.
While pushing the tricycle, Chen Guangkun explained to Shen Jiaojiao what happened in the past year.
Soon, the two returned to the small building that was filled with miscellaneous items.
Chen Guangkun parked the tricycle and hurried back to the house to pack up.
He collected so much waste that he didn't know where to put it.
Shen Jiaojiao followed him into the house.
The things in the house are much better than the clutter of junk outside.
The items are neatly arranged and you can see some good stuff at a glance.
While Shen Jiaojiao was admiring the treasures in the room, Chen Guangkun had already wiped clean a sofa that he had taken back from someone else.
"Sister Jiaojiao, come and sit down. I'll pour you some water."
Shen Jiaojiao wanted to say no, but Chen Guangkun had already run to the kitchen.
I didn't say anything more.
I walked to the shiny sofa and looked at it carefully.
The workmanship and carving are all top-notch.
It’s also an old item.
A set of well-preserved mahogany sofas, in good condition and with high collection value.
It's amazing to receive such a top-quality sofa!
"I traded this with someone, but he said it was useless to keep it, so he exchanged it with me for 50 kilograms of food.
I saw that this sofa could still be used for sitting, so I changed it back."
Chen Guangkun came out of the kitchen and brought a glass of water to Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Jiaojiao sat on the sofa and picked up the cup. The water was warm, neither hot nor cold.
He took a sip and looked at Chen Guangkun with a smile.
"This sofa is great. If you keep it well, it will appreciate in value in the future."
Chen Guangkun was encouraged and his tense mood relaxed a lot.
He thought Shen Jiaojiao would blame him for spending a lot of money to buy a bunch of junk.
Obviously not.
"Sister Jiaojiao, will you leave after you come back?"
"No! I got into college and came back to study."
Chen Guangkun was delighted and praised sincerely, "You are really amazing."
"You too! You will be even more powerful in the future. By the way, how have you been this year? You've grown a lot stronger and look more like a man now."
A year ago, Chen Guangkun was very thin, but now he is strong and powerful, with more muscles in his arms.
Chen Guangkun said shyly, "I listened to you and ate well, so I grew stronger."
I felt embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, "Sister Jiao Jiao, why don't you come with me to see the things I collected? There is a warehouse in the back, and it is full of old items that you asked me to look out for."
"Okay! I love watching babies and stuff like that."
The two went to the warehouse at the back.
As soon as the warehouse door opened, Shen Jiaojiao was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
A warehouse of 100 square meters is filled with all kinds of treasures.
There are several sets of mahogany furniture, a set of golden nanmu bed, and countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Chen Guangkun opened the innermost row of boxes.
The box is full of jewelry.
To her astonishment, Shen Jiaojiao even saw a kingfisher-inlaid phoenix crown with nine dragons and nine phoenixes.
Shocked, really too shocking.
Even though she knew that there were many good things to collect in this era, when she actually saw these things, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Many of these cultural relics will end up overseas or even be destroyed in the future.
Now that she has obtained them in advance, she will never let these things fall into the hands of foreigners in the future, nor will she let them disappear from the eyes of the world.
"Sister Jiaojiao, I have recorded everything in the warehouse in this notebook. Please take a look."
Chen Guangkun handed a thick notebook to Shen Jiaojiao.
Open it and take a look.
There are crooked handwriting inside.
It’s still written in pinyin.
For example, the word “pearl” is written as “zhenzhu”.
It's not all pinyin, there are Chinese characters too. Some simple words with few strokes use Chinese characters.
For example, one, two, three, four, five.
Shen Jiaojiao looked at Chen Guangkun suspiciously.
Chen Guangkun brushed his hair embarrassedly.
“I couldn’t write a few words, so I found a teacher to teach me how to read. But I’m not very smart, so I just learned pinyin first. Now I can’t write a few words.
This even pissed off the teacher and drove him away."
Shen Jiaojiao laughed out loud, but did not discourage him. She encouraged him, "Learning is something that cannot be rushed. You should learn slowly and write as many words as you can. There is no harm in reading more books."
Chen Guangkun nodded, "I understand, Miss Jiaojiao, what should we do with these things? Should we sell them?"
"Don't worry, just leave them here for now! These things are worthless now, but they may not be worth much in the future.
But you have to make sure it's safe enough so no one comes to steal or anything."
"Got it. Don't worry, I won't let anyone steal these things."
Shen Jiaojiao left the warehouse, looked around the house again, and asked, "This house looks shabby. Can you see if you can buy it? After all, if you keep renting it to someone else, you're afraid that someone will evict you one day.
And there are things in the yard that have no value and you can sell them.”
Chen Guangkun didn't care about Shen Jiaojiao's words. He just did whatever Shen Jiaojiao said.
Afterwards, Chen Guangkun showed this year's account book to Shen Jiaojiao.
How much money was earned and how much was spent are clearly written on it.
"Sister Jiao Jiao, this is what I earned this year, a total of one thousand and sixty eighty yuan."
Give the money to Shen Jiaojiao.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't take it. "You take it first! You need capital to run a business. You can give me a share of the profits when you make more money."
Chen Guangkun was too stubborn to take it back. "This is the first money I made. You can keep it! I can make more money with it."
The first money he earned, he had to give to Shen Jiaojiao no matter what, after all, the meanings were different.
