When he thought about borrowing money, Liu Dahong immediately came to mind.
This man was from the same era as his father, Su Guiquan; both of them were hoodlums back then.
Later, relying on their audacity and ruthlessness, they all made money.
However, Liu Dahong was not only a womanizer but also a gambler, and his vision was not as good as Su Guiquan's, so his expansion pace has been relatively slow in recent years.
In comparison, Su Guiquan is more like a legitimate business owner.
Su Wu chose this person because Liu Dahong and Su Guiquan had a long-standing feud.
The biggest conflict between them is said to have been their jealousy over his mother, whom he had never met.
In the struggle for the woman's affections, the two even engaged in a brawl involving hundreds of people.
In the end, Liu Dahong was defeated, and Su Guiquan won the heart of the beauty.
Although Liu Dahong is not a good person, he is better than Su Guiquan in one aspect: he cherishes the past.
When Su Wu was studying in the county, this person helped him settle a few things, so the two of them knew each other.
If Su Wu were to approach him with information about the mine to borrow money, he would likely not refuse.
With such a disgusting handle on Su Guiquan handed to him, he had no reason not to lend it.
The only thing to consider now is how much we can borrow.
There was another matter that Su Wu also needed to start thinking about.
If he wants to make money by selling the Coca-Cola formula, he needs to be connected to the internet.
From a technical and security perspective, he had to start working on a similar hacking program.
This may not be a big deal for him, a former hacking expert, but it will take time.
Moreover, the current computer performance and network environment cannot compare to those of ten or twenty years from now, so he needs to think it over carefully.
Without any news about Goryeo-soo, he would think about these things to pass the time, and once he had a plan in mind, everything would be easier.
Several days later, he finally received a call from Goryeo-soo in the evening, asking her to meet him at the train station.
Although somewhat puzzled, Su Wu arrived as promised.
When he arrived at the train station, it was already 10 p.m., and there weren't many people at the station.
When Su Wu arrived at the waiting room, he saw Gao Lixiu gathered with several young girls who were dressed in flamboyant clothes but also had a worldly air about them.
It seems they're going to form a group and go to Shanghai to pursue their careers.
With a sigh in his heart, he waved to Go Ryeo-soo.
Upon seeing him arrive, Goryeo-soo ran over with a big smile and pulled him to a secluded spot.
Without saying much, she opened her bag and handed half a sheet of printed paper to Su Wu.
Su Wu took it and looked at it, then exclaimed in his heart, "Holy crap!"
The bag was covered with perfectly clear stamps, covering every official seal in Li Youcai's bag.
Goryeo-soo said somewhat vaguely, "I'm not very smart, so I just covered them all up for you. That should be fine, right?"
"No problem, it's enough, thank you." Su Wu examined the seal; it was clear enough, indicating that the girl had put a lot of thought into it.
"That's good. I'm taking the train tonight, and I'm afraid we won't have many chances to meet again." Goryeo said somewhat awkwardly.
Just as I expected.
Su Wu thought to himself, but he didn't know what to say.
He handed the brown paper envelope from his bag to Goryeo-soo; it contained 30,000 won.
"Take this money; you can't get by without money when you're traveling."
"I told you I don't want your money."
"Take this, it's a small token of my appreciation."
"But I..."
"Listen to me, keep the money safe, don't let anyone see it. Also, find a legitimate job in Shanghai, if you have the chance, find an office job, don't go down the same old path..."
Su Wu forced the money onto Gao Lixiu, and regardless of whether she listened or not, he began to ramble on and on with his orders.
Goryeo-soo's eyes gradually welled up with tears, feeling a warmth she had never experienced before.
Although it didn't sound like kind words, she knew that Su Wu's words came from the bottom of his heart.
"Is there any way back for me?" Go Ryeo-soo asked in a low voice.
"You're in an unfamiliar place, nobody knows you, everything is up to you. Take care, I'm leaving."
Su Wu, unwilling to linger any longer, patted her shoulder and turned to leave.
Even as he walked away, he could almost hear Goryeo-soo's sobs.
We are all just travelers in the clouds, why should we crave a single heart?
What Su Wu didn't tell Goryeo was that if you take the wrong path, you can turn back, but what's hard to turn back is your heart.
In fact, he felt that Goryeo-soo would eventually follow the same old path in Shanghai.
If you get used to a cheap lifestyle, you really become cheap yourself. Once your character becomes cheap, it's hard for you to improve.
Because that requires enduring hardship, which Goryeo-soo couldn't handle.
With mixed feelings, Su Wu returned to his residence and took out the radishes he had prepared beforehand.
Looking at the seal he needed, his mind gradually calmed down, and the past was no longer worth revisiting.
A dozen minutes later, a stamp appeared in his hand.
I tried it with ink, and it's pretty much the same, good enough.
"Hehe, luckily my skills haven't gotten rusty. Let's see how much it's worth."
He made a few quick phone calls and learned that Liu Dahong would be at Hongfa Pawnshop the next day.
Hongfa Pawnshop is a courtyard with its storefront facing the street, which is quite a characteristic of their small county town at the moment.
A few years later, this scene became a rare sight, as the buildings were converted into storefronts.
In the afternoon, feeling the rich atmosphere of everyday life, Su Wu went inside.
"Oh ho ho, isn't this the Fifth Young Master? What brings you here to play?"
"Third Brother, is Uncle Da Hong here? I need to talk to him."
"Oh, the backyard. You've come at just the right time, otherwise it would be inconvenient if we started having fun later."
