Xu Yan had no idea how Xie Zhu could have said those words.
The small moles at the corners of her eyes and on the sides of her nose were extremely red.
Warm breath brushed against her delicate skin.
Xu Yan couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Xie Zhuo seemed to be observing, or perhaps exploring, touching it every now and then.
When he reached out for the third time, Xu Yan finally lost his temper and raised his foot again. This time, instead of kicking his waist, he kicked him directly in the face.
Xie Zhuo wasn't annoyed.
He pinched her round, fair toes and then kissed the back of her foot.
“I’ll take you to see a doctor next time,” Xu Yan glared at him. “I suspect there’s something wrong with your head.”
The people from Qingshan Brigade searched intermittently for more than half a month, but still couldn't find Qin Li. It was as if she had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth, leaving no trace of her life or death.
Song Guangming even led a group of people to search in Beishan, but still couldn't find it.
Granny Qian and Wang Ermazi were not willing to give up. After all, they had spent two hundred yuan to marry her, and what was most infuriating was that Qin Li had run off with all the money in the house. How were they supposed to live?
Because when the educated youth were assigned to various production brigades, they would generally register their personal information. Although Qin Li had run away, her home address was still there.
When Wang Ermazi and Granny Qian approached the brigade leader and asked for a letter of introduction to go to Qin Li's house to find someone, Song Guangming thought for a moment and issued it.
After all, it's over two hundred yuan, which is no small amount.
Even if the person can't be found, it would be good to get the money back.
While Granny Qian and Wang Ermazi were packing their things to go to Qin Li's house, Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo continued with their lives as usual. However, when Xie Zhuo finally found time to deliver the box of large yellow croakers to Lao He, Lao He told him some good news.
“After deducting your principal of 65,000, you made a net profit of 200,000,” Old He said excitedly, rubbing his hands together.
"In just a few months, the returns have exceeded my wildest dreams."
"And I heard from Mr. Zhang that the TV series should still be profitable. You have a sharp eye, kid. This company was originally the least profitable!"
"Because of its small scale and funding gap, there are basically no investors. The only reason they were able to keep filming the TV series is because of your money. They were able to film and broadcast it at the same time, which is why it is in this situation now."
"Are you really not planning to develop your career in the port city?"
Old He was still somewhat unwilling to give up, "Someone like you, if you went to Hong Kong, would definitely be ten times better off than you are now."
Xie Zhuo was praised but managed to keep his composure and simply smiled, saying, "You're exaggerating. I was just lucky."
"No, no, no, the fact that you were willing to bring money to me for investment proves you're no ordinary person," Old He said.
"Forget about Hong Kong City," Xie Zhuo said, not wanting to dwell on the topic any longer. After thinking for a moment, he added, "I want to continue investing this 200,000, and I'll continue investing in the film and television industry."
“Okay,” Lao He nodded, “I’ll arrange for someone to take care of it tomorrow.”
“However,” Xie Zhuo changed the subject.
"What's wrong?" Old He asked.
“This box of mine,” Xie Zhuo patted the box on the table. Before coming here, he and Xu Yan had discussed exchanging the gold bars in the box for cash and investing it all, but now he had changed his mind.
"Brother He, please find me a safe place in Hong Kong to store this for now."
Old He knew what was in the box when Xie Zhuo first arrived, and was quite surprised. He never expected that Xie Zhuo, who was dressed in rags all day, would actually be hiding this thing in his hand.
However, he genuinely trusted him.
Who else would dare to hand over so much money and so many gold bars directly to another person?
That's incredibly audacious.
Old He thought to himself, and sighed again that Xie Zhuo was lucky to have met him. He said that Xie Zhuo was a man of absolute loyalty, and he always kept his word. He would never do what he promised his brothers.
If Xie Zhuo knew what Lao He was thinking, he would probably think the same thing to himself.
Isn't that obvious?
They contacted you because they knew what kind of person you were.
Xie Zhuo didn't go home early today. Lao He had mentioned drinking together many times, and today they finally got to drink. The two of them drank and chatted about all sorts of random things.
When Lao He drinks too much, he becomes very talkative.
At first, he complained that his wife was very strict and would nag him if he drank too much. Later, he said that Xie Zhuo's life was also hard because he heard that he had married a tyrant.
Xie Zhuo paused in his act of pouring wine into his mouth.
“It’s alright, brother,” Lao He patted Xie Zhuo on the shoulder. “Only men like this can succeed. My mother was like that too. My father said that if you listen to your wife, you can eat your fill.”
Xie Zhuo was both amused and exasperated; Old He was clearly drunk.
It was already afternoon when Xie Zhuo got home. He had drunk quite a bit, so he went to a state-run restaurant to get his food packed up and hired an oxcart in the city to take him home.
In my previous life, the bus service had already started at this time, but for some reason, I haven't heard anything about it in this life.
But it doesn't matter, they have bicycles.
Da Bao and Xiao Bao finally started school the day before yesterday. Xu Yan and Li Aihua hurriedly sewed two small schoolbags. Originally, they wanted to embroider some small animals on the schoolbags.
But her skills were really limited.
In the end, I cut out two five-pointed stars from red cloth and pasted them onto the two small backpacks. Surprisingly, the army green backpacks and the red five-pointed stars matched quite well.
When Da Bao and Xiao Bao came back that day, they excitedly told Xu Yan that all the students in the school envied their little schoolbags.
