"Hey, buddy, are you an international student from China?"
"Well, let me tell you, if you can avoid living in a school dormitory, try not to. British universities are different from our own universities. Those bastards are very corrupt. School dormitories also charge fees. The conditions are not very good, and the fees are quite high. Old Yang, listen to me, move out and live with me, my brother. I guarantee that you will live comfortably and save money..."
"What? Why should I help you? Isn't it simple? I just like you, bro. As soon as I saw you, I wanted to be your friend..."
"Hey, Jonathan, you son of a bitch, Fuckyou, if you dare do this to my brother again, I swear I will kill you!"
"Jing Gege, come do this job with me. I can't say how much I will give you, but at least I can guarantee that you won't have to use your family's money anymore. Let me tell you, even in the UK, there are very few people who can do this job. If you come with me, how can I let you suffer any loss?"
"Brother, please forgive me. If you force me to lose weight again, we may no longer be brothers..."
…
Yang Jing felt really fortunate. He was really fortunate to have met such a brother in England, thousands of miles away from home.
Lying on the bed, scenes of what he had experienced with the fat man in the past came to his mind one by one, which made Yang Jing feel really warm.
This fat guy may have some problems, but he is really great to his friends, an absolute good brother!
Yang Jing knew very well that if he had not met Guo Xiaoxiang on the day of reporting, perhaps his life would be different now. But what is certain is that he would never be as free and easy as he is now.
Today, this fat guy actually rejected the million pounds that was almost within his grasp without hesitation!
After more than two years of interaction, Yang Jing had become very familiar with Guo Xiaoxiang. He could see that the fat man's refusal was not false and he really did not want the money.
Of course Yang Jing could see that the fat man didn't want the money just because his family was rich, or for any other reason. He simply didn't want the money. As he said, he didn't contribute much to these three paintings, so he couldn't take the money.
Listening to the faint snoring coming from the other side, Yang Jing couldn't help but grinned slightly.
Such good brothers are really rare in this day and age, definitely rarer than giant pandas.
Yang Jing certainly knew how "greedy" Guo Xiaoxiang was. When this guy was working, in order to earn a little difference, he would even carry dozens of kilograms of things and walk several kilometers, or stand in the flea market from morning to night. Anyway, as long as it was something that could make money, this guy would never hesitate.
In the words of the fat man, as long as you don’t touch the bottom line and don’t break the law, you must never let the money you can earn run away!
Yang Jing and Guo Xiaoxiang were both clear about the boundaries of the law. Similarly, Yang Jing was also clear about Fatty's bottom line.
Although the fat man is "greedy for money", he has always been adhering to the bottom line of "unrighteous wealth should not be taken, and food given out of pity should not be eaten", and he has never crossed this bottom line.
Even if he picked up money on the street, the fat man would not put it in his own pocket. Even if it was a penny, he would donate it to the welfare home...
The fat man is a person with moral obsession!
As he was thinking, Yang Jing fell asleep in a daze and slept until dawn.
After washing up and having a quick breakfast, Fatty started making phone calls. When Yang Jing finished packing, Fatty said excitedly, "Let's go get a car today!"
Yang Jing was also puzzled by the fat man's unconventional behavior, "Car? Do you want to rent a car?"
"Rent a car? Why do we need to rent a car? I mean let's go out and buy a car now. Haven't you always wanted a used car? Now's your chance, take this opportunity, you can get yourself a used car."
Seeing Yang Jing's confused look, the fat man smiled and said, "I have already contacted the buyer for this batch of books. He is a used book wholesaler in Cardiff. I met him when I came to Cardiff three years ago. I just called him to talk about the books we got. The guy readily agreed to buy these books for 1,700 pounds. Hey, you can make 1,200 pounds by reselling these books. Do you think you can buy a car with that?"
After a pause, the fat man continued, "My car can't hold all these books at once. Fishguard is more than 110 miles away from Cardiff. If I rent a car, it will cost more than 200 pounds, which is not cost-effective at all. So I thought, why don't you take this opportunity to buy a car, and we can drive these books to Cardiff together."
Yang Jing looked at the books, pondered for a while, and nodded.
Just as the fat man said, although there are only more than 200 books, each of them is of equal size. Any one of them weighs at least 5 kilograms, if not 8 kilograms. More than 200 books weigh more than 1,000 kilograms. The fat man's Golf is definitely not capable of carrying so many books.
I have gained so much this time, it’s time to buy the car I have been envious of for a long time, even if it is a used car.
Yang Jing put down the things in his hands, waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go buy a car now!"
The second-hand car trade in the UK is very prosperous. Even in a small city like Fishguard, there is a large second-hand car market.
The two people drove for more than ten minutes according to the navigation and arrived at the second-hand car market. They spent more than an hour selecting a two-box Ford Fiesta that looked pretty good.
This Ford Fiesta equipped with a 1.6T engine would be priced at around 16,000 pounds in the UK if it were a new car. However, this car, which was in good condition, was a second-hand car and could not be sold at all. Coupled with Guo Xiaoxiang's eloquence, Yang Jing finally succeeded in buying this silver-gray Carnival for 1,500 pounds.
Yang Jing passed the driving test when he was in college in China. After coming to the UK, Yang Jing had already changed his driver's license to a British driver's license. Therefore, after getting the car, he could drive on the road immediately.
The two men drove back to the hotel and stuffed all the books into the two cars. Of course, the "Dictionary of National Biographical Figures", which had made a huge contribution, also gloriously joined its companions after completing its mission and was stuffed into the car by Yang Jing.
As for the three precious sketches, Yang Jing put them into a paper tube and put it in the backpack he carried with him.
It's worth mentioning that although these three sketches are light and weightless, they are still worth millions of pounds. Yang Jing felt a heavy weight on his shoulders while carrying a backpack...
