Chapter 120 No Return
From the initial tension upon arriving at the school to the peaceful reconciliation upon leaving, this whole affair was resolved peacefully.
Li Zhen and Li Bo stayed at school to continue their classes, Li's father went home, and Tieguai Li also took Xiao Taohua and prepared to go back.
On the way back, Little Peach Blossom had a question: "Master."
"Um?"
"Brother Li Zhen and Brother Li Bo were chatting so well, aren't they friends?"
"Isn't it?"
"But Brother Li Zhen said no."
"It's okay, they're classmates anyway, whether they're friends or not doesn't matter."
"Is this okay? It's alright if we're classmates but not friends?"
"Probably." Tieguai Li was lost in thought and didn't pay much attention to Xiao Taohua's problem. As a result, Xiao Taohua treated her classmates like friends, always being as kind and gentle as a central air conditioner.
Well, it's only in its early stages now. If it grows bigger, it'll probably become a huge player, and one that others will willingly submit to.
But who knows? Maybe not in the future, probably.
Today gave Li Zhen, Li Bo, and Xiao Taohua a chance to get to know each other, and then one day, the three of them sneakily got together.
"Are you sure? You're not lying?" Li Zhen asked again. He couldn't help it; curiosity finally won out, bringing the three of them together.
Li Bo was quite arrogant, you know: "If you don't believe me, why did you come along!"
Li Zhen made an excuse: "I'm afraid my sister will be deceived by you."
Li Bo said confidently, "I would never lie to Little Peach Blossom."
“You have no brains,” Li Zhen accused.
"You're the one who's brainless."
"He's got a brain but doesn't even cry out in pain after being hit." He's thick-skinned and tough.
"It didn't hurt much to begin with."
"Heh." Li Zhen sneered.
"Are you coming or not?!" Li Bo also has a temper!
Remembering that Li Bo had promised to take them to meet the film director's friend, Li Zhen could only suppress his sarcasm and said, "Come on, lead the way quickly!"
Little Peach Blossom was in a good mood, walking and looking around, and even going over things that interested her, which made Li Bo keep coaxing her, saying that she could look at them later and that they should go see the person who knew the director first.
"Let me tell you, that guy is really something. He came all the way from the capital and knows a lot of great directors. He said he really values me and told me to practice my lines now, and that he'll introduce me to the capital when the opportunity arises so I can act in movies. Then you'll all be able to see me on the big screen!"
"You've said that many times," Li Zhen said, uninterested.
"Really? No, hehe."
"Lead the way quickly! Wait, how do you all know each other?"
"Speaking of which, let me tell you something. He was down on his luck when he came to our place. He was starving, and I gave him a steamed bun. Sure enough, good deeds are rewarded, and God sent me a director friend. Hehe."
"The person you're talking about, if he's that powerful, would he really be that hungry?" Li Zhen was a little pessimistic.
"That's only temporary, you understand? His life will be better once he gets back to the capital."
"Wait, you mean when did you two meet?"
"Three days ago."
"Three days ago?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Then let me ask you, where did he eat and where did he stay for these three days?"
Li Bo said innocently, "I brought him food."
"Where will you stay?"
"That dilapidated house in town."
"Someone who knows a director doesn't have money for food and drink? Do you really believe that?"
I believe you.
Very well, Li Zhen has nothing more to say.
Li Zhen bent down, picked up Xiao Taohua, and turned to leave.
"Hey, Li Zhen, what are you doing? Why did you leave? Weren't we going to see the director's friend together? We've already come all this way."
"I'm not going."
"What? Why aren't you going?"
"Why should I go? I shouldn't have believed what you said!"
"You still don't believe me?"
"Yes, I don't believe it."
"How can you be like this? I kindly introduced you to my director friend, and you didn't believe me. Humph, fine, I'll go myself!"
"Then you go by yourself. Little Peach Blossom, come on, brother will take you shopping."
Little Peach Blossom, still a little confused, hesitated for a moment before waving to Li Bo: "Well, goodbye, Brother Li Bo?"
It's a pity we won't get to see our director friend.
She really wanted to know what the movie was about.
"Little Peach Blossom, aren't you coming along? Let me tell you, that director friend of yours is really great, he knows a lot, he's very capable." Seeing that the person had really left, Li Bo was still a little unwilling, and looking at Little Peach Blossom, he couldn't help but try to persuade her: "Besides, we'll be there soon, what's the harm in just taking a look!"
"Brother Li Zhen?" Little Peach Blossom tugged at Li Zhen.
"Hehe, shall we go take a look?" Li Bo winked.
"You're so ugly! Let me tell you, I'm just going to take a look. I don't believe you've really been noticed by any director friend. I just think you've met a scammer!"
"Nonsense, how could I possibly encounter a scammer? I'm not stupid!"
Li Zhen curled his lip. Someone like him? Not stupid?
Oh.
"Alright, hurry up and lead the way!"
"By the way, Li Zhen, do you have any money?"
Li Zhen immediately looked at him warily: "What?"
"Well, making a movie still requires money. If you have money, you can invest some first. Let me tell you, investments have returns. When the movie is released, we can get a lot of money! That director friend of mine said that he is currently facing difficulties and is down on his luck, but soon he will be able to rise above his circumstances and achieve great success!"
Li Zhen looked at Li Bo as if he were a fool.
Very well, it's confirmed again, Li Bo has encountered a scammer!
Even if Li Zhen knew nothing about movies, he knew one thing: splitting the profits among himself was impossible, absolutely impossible. Oh, he wasn't even finished with his life yet; in any case, he'd never seen that possibility in his past ten-odd years.
Li Bo's words are promoting capitalism, aren't they?
Li Zhen is now even more suspicious of the other party's identity.
Then Li Bo started babbling on and on, saying all sorts of nice things, his goal, of course, was to get Li Zhen to spend money.
Little Peach Blossom's hands were already itching to reach out: "Can I get more money by spending money?"
"Yes, the less you pay, the less you earn; the more you pay, the more you earn!"
"Then I'll invest one cent." Little Peach Blossom finally took out a cent from her pocket and handed it to Li Bo. She had just heard the word "investment" from Li Bo.
Li Bo was moved to tears by Xiao Taohua's support, and held the penny in both hands: "Xiao Taohua, don't worry, that director friend of yours is very capable. You'll earn back tenfold or even a hundredfold soon. You can buy as much delicious food as you want then!"
"Wow!" Little Peach Blossom exclaimed in admiration, but Li Zhenqiang snatched the penny from Li Bo's hand. "This is my sister's allowance. If you want to fool someone, go find someone else. Don't ruin my sister's life." He put the penny back into Little Peach Blossom's pocket and earnestly warned, "Sister, don't believe him. He's a fraud. Once you give him this money, it's gone forever."
