Chapter 86: A Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat
When Gu Siqing left Zhang Xiaoqiang's house, Guo Huilan rode her bike to take Zhang Xiaoqiang to the gym. From a distance, Gu Siqing could still see the helpless and tired look on Zhang Xiaoqiang's face.
It is not a good thing to expect your children to be successful too much.
When Gu Jianguo came back at noon, he said that they were still using the original store, while the Han family was using the new store. From then on, the two families were completely separated.
In the afternoon, Gu Jianguo took two sacks of peanuts and Han Deyi took two sacks of corn and went to Qiu Weiguang and Zhu Qingjun's homes to wish them a happy new year.
They had both helped them a lot last year, so these gifts were well-deserved. Besides, relationships grow closer through interactions.
Qiu Weiguang's wife, Zhu Qingfen, looked at the two sacks of food and said, "With your two comrades being so generous, you will definitely have a good life in the future."
"They're doing very well now," Qiu Weiguang said, smoking a cigarette. "They've already bought a house in Lizhou."
"Really? They're making so much money selling clothes?" Zhu Qingfen was surprised. "How long have they been in business?"
While Qiu Weiguang was happy for Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi, he also felt a sense of urgency. He might have to beg them for help soon.
"Old Qiu, why don't I sell clothes too?" Zhu Qingfen asked Qiu Weiguang.
Qiu Weiguang frowned: "Don't mess around, how can you sell clothes while you're working?"
Zhu Qingfen thought for a moment and said, "My job is easy. I just rent a storefront, buy some goods, and let my sister Xiaoling look after the store for me."
"Aren't you just kidding? I heard from Jianguo and others that they suffered a lot in purchasing goods, and you can't do it at all." Qiu Weiguang refused without thinking.
Zhu Qingfen snorted, "I won't go to purchase the goods. I'll get them from Gu Jianguo and the others and ask them to give me a lower price. I'll just make less money."
Qiu Weiguang still frowned and said no. Zhu Qingfen glared at him and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll come back and discuss it with them."
Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi didn't know that Zhu Qingfen wanted to sell clothes from them. They were about to go to Shenzhen to buy more.
During dinner, Gu Jianguo mentioned that he was going to buy some goods and said, "Xue Qiang will come with me this time."
Separated from Han Deyi, they could buy goods together this time, but not next time. And buying goods alone was not an option, as it was always chaotic in Shenzhen and on the train, so at least two people were needed.
Gu Xueqiang was a boy with great strength, so it was a good idea to take him along. Of course, Gu Jianguo also wanted to teach him something.
Everyone agreed with the decision, but Gu Erhui said, "Dad, I want to go too."
She also wants to go out and see the world.
Gu Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you come too. Tomorrow you and Xue Qiang go to the train station to buy tickets." He then looked at Gu Yimin and said, "Yimin, come with me next time."
Gu Yimin nodded happily, she also wanted to go out and take a look.
The matter was settled, and they bought their tickets and set off for Shenzhen. Wang Yueju stopped preparing dry food for them and made them eat it on the train.
Accompanying Han Deyi was Ma Feiyue, the son of Tian Huiying's eldest sister, who was also learning business like Gu Xueqiang. But what made people uncomfortable was that Ma Feiyue always came close to Gu Erhui to talk, and it was still some meaningless nonsense.
Fortunately, after Gu Xueqiang found out, he pulled him aside to talk, so that he had no chance to find Gu Erhui.
They took a three-day train ride. Luckily, they bought a sleeper berth, otherwise Gu Erhui's small body wouldn't be able to handle it. This time, they went to a state-owned hotel, and Gu Jianguo booked a room for Gu Erhui right next to his and Gu Xueqiang's.
"Don't open the door if anyone knocks at night. Even if you want to go to the bathroom, ask me to accompany you." Gu Jianguo gave a long-winded instruction before going back to his room to rest.
As a result, just after he returned to his room for a while, someone knocked on Gu Erhui's door, "Erhui, it's me, Ma Feiyue. I brought you a pot of hot water."
Gu Erhui curled her lips and covered herself with the quilt, pretending she heard nothing. Ma Feiyue knocked on the door for a while but saw that no one opened it, so he had to leave.
The next day, Ma Feiyue asked Gu Erhui while they were alone: "I brought you hot water yesterday, why didn't you open the door for me?"
Gu Erhui: "I thought he was a bad guy."
"Didn't you recognize my voice?" Ma Feiyue said this and took a step closer to Gu Erhui. She took two steps back and said coldly, "I'm not sure if you're a good person or not."
Ma Feiyue: “”
This is too direct!
Gu Erhui ignored him and hurried back to her room to pack her things. She had to tell her dad about Ma Feiyue knocking on her door last night. It was so disgusting.
Just as they finished packing, Gu Jianguo and Gu Xueqiang arrived. Gu Erhui followed them to the clothing factory. As they walked, she told him about Ma Feiyue knocking on her door last night. Gu Jianguo's face turned cold when he heard it, "I'll tell your Uncle Han later."
This was also what Gu Erhui meant. She wanted Han Deyi to talk to him so that everyone would save face.
At the hotel entrance, they met Han Deyi and Ma Feiyue. Gu Xueqiang stood in front of Gu Erhui so tightly that Ma Feiyue couldn't even see her.
The hotel was not far from the factory, within walking distance. On the way, Gu Jianguo and Han Deyi told each other about Ma Feiyue. Han Deyi frowned and said, "I'll talk to him later. Jianguo, don't worry, I won't let him harass Erhui again."
In Han Deyi's mind, Ma Feiyue's interest in Gu Erhui was like a toad wanting to eat swan flesh. He was really ruthless.
When they arrived at the factory, they separated. Gu Jianguo first took Gu Erhui and Gu Xueqiang to the factory that produced bread clothes. Salesman Zhang was still there. When he saw Gu Jianguo, he smiled and said, "Boss Gu, make a fortune!"
Gu Jianguo smiled and greeted him. Gu Erhui looked at the clothes in the room, some spring jackets and women's blazers. She felt that if she took these clothes back, at least now, they would not sell well.
It's still cold in Lizhou now.
Gu Jianguo didn't really like their clothes. He chatted with salesperson Zhang for a while and then left with Gu Erhui and the others.
The three of them spent the entire morning looking around the factory. At noon, they had lunch at a small restaurant, and Gu Jianguo asked them, "What kind of clothes do you think would be suitable to buy this time?"
Gu Xueqiang didn't understand anything and simply shook his head and said he didn't know. Gu Jianguo looked at Gu Erhui and heard her say, "Men's leather jackets and women's wool coats."
Gu Jianguo took a sip of water and asked, "Why?"
Gu Erhui thought for a moment and said, "The prices of these two items are similar to those of the tuxedo, so our customers can afford them. Furthermore, these two items are suitable for sale now, and will last for at least a month or two. Furthermore, these two items are not available in Lizhou."
Gu Jianguo nodded after hearing this. He was also optimistic about these two types of clothes. Now after hearing Erhui's words, he was even more certain.
