"Miss Shan, do you think I can't make it into the top ten?"

Shan Zhenzhen looked at her with her nose in the air, "Yun Mo, with your last-place grades, it's good enough that you don't drag our school down, but you still dream of being in the top ten in the city, it's ridiculous."

As if to echo Shan Zhenzhen's words, many people around laughed mockingly.

Yun Mo looked around at the people who were laughing the hardest, "You guys don't believe it? Do you want to make a bet?"

Shan Zhenzhen: "Who would be afraid of you? Tell me, what do you want to bet on?"

"I have everything except money. How about using money as a bet?"

"Momo."

When Zeng Fang heard that Yun Mo wanted to gamble with someone, she quickly pulled Yun Mo's sleeve, signaling her not to do anything rash.

Yun Mo smiled and patted Zeng Fang, then turned around and continued to provoke Shan Zhenzhen, "What do you think? Do you dare?"

Shan Zhenzhen slammed the table and said, "Okay, let's gamble. How much do you want to bet?"

"Too little is boring, and too much is not something you can afford. You decide for yourself."

Those who can enter Nanming are all students from relatively wealthy families and are the least short of money, especially Dan Zhenzhen, whose family runs a hotel and has several stores in Guangjiang City.

"I bet 100 yuan, Yun Mo, do you dare to take it?"

Yun Mo looked at the other people around her and asked, "You guys are coming together?"

The family backgrounds of those people were not as good as Shan Zhenzhen's, but they were better off than ordinary families. One of them said he bet 20, and another said he bet 50.

Yun Mo accepted all the bets and asked Zeng Fang to find a notebook to record the amount each person bet.

After recording, Yun Mo asked each of them to sign their names.

After signing, Shan Zhenzhen asked her proudly, "Yun Mo, what if you lose?"

"Of course you have to accept the loss and honor your bet."

"Okay! I'll wait and see you lose everything."

"Just wait."

Yun Mo put away the notebook with a smile. The total amount of these bets was nearly 300 yuan, enough for a year's rent.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Zeng Fang pulled Yun Mo out of the classroom and whispered to her, "Momo, you are too impulsive. There are thousands of senior high school students in Jiang City, and most of them are top students. Although your grades have improved rapidly during this period, there is still a big gap compared to the real top students."

"It's okay. If you really can't pass the exam, you can just pay the money. It's not like you can't afford it."

“…”

Zeng Fang pouted, "It's several hundred dollars, don't you feel bad about it?"

Yun Mo smiled broadly, looking relaxed. "When people are under pressure, they will be motivated. I also want to push myself. Maybe I can bring out my full potential. If I really make it into the top ten, wouldn't that be even better?"

Zeng Fang thought it made sense, so she said, "Why don't we just bet on who ranks higher? The loser will treat the winner to a big meal."

"OK."

—

After hanging up the clothes, Ling Chuan went out and returned to the old street.

"Chuanzi, why are you back? What's the matter?"

The small courtyard was so quiet that there was no sound at all. It was obvious that Ling Jiang was the only one at home.

"Brother, isn't your sister-in-law at home?"

"I've sent Chunhua and Jiale to kindergarten. I'll be back soon."

While Li Li was away, Ling Chuan told Ling Jiang the purpose of his visit. Out of some selfish reasons, he did not tell Ling Jiang that this was Yun Mo's suggestion.

Ling Jiang knew that he was not cut out for business, and he had no idea about reselling electronic watches. He had been so anxious these days that he couldn't sleep well. Ling Chuan's suggestion undoubtedly made him feel relieved.

"Okay, Chuanzi, I'll do as you say."

Although Ling Chuan had guessed before coming that his elder brother would agree to his proposal, when faced with the other party's unreserved trust and open-minded and simple smile, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in his heart.

Just a few days ago, he told his wife in no uncertain terms that his eldest brother was his unshakable bottom line.

But now, his faith has been shaken by his wife's words.

"Hey, Chuanzi, what a rare visitor."

At this moment, Li Li came back after sending the child to school. Seeing Ling Chuan sitting in the main room, she immediately teased him in a sarcastic tone.

"Sister-in-law."

Li Li sat down opposite Ling Chuan and glanced at him sideways. "I heard that you are doing business with someone now? Have you made a fortune?"

"It's just the beginning, it's not that fast yet."

Li Li curled her lips, smiling with a fake smile, "You married a daughter-in-law from a rich family, you have become more confident and courageous, and you want to learn from them and start a business. I won't stop you from making a fortune.

But your elder brother is different. He is honest and can't compare to you young people who are smart. When I married him, I saw that he was a down-to-earth person, and I didn't expect him to make me rich.

Anyway, I'm going to make it clear that if you lose money in business, I won't take a single cent."

Ling Jiang couldn't bear to hear his wife's words any more. "Why are you saying all this? Go, go buy some pork and cook a nice dish for Chuanzi at noon."

Li Li glared at her husband. "You only know how to talk. Don't you want to pay for the meat? You have to pay for it."

"Didn't I give you all the money?"

"After paying Chunhua Jiale's tuition, you only have 30 left. You don't even have a proper job now. If you don't save money, you'll be starving next month!"

"What about the things I brought home before? Didn't you save any of them?"

"Save? It's easy for you to say it with just your lips. Save two and show me."

Ling Chuan was no longer surprised by the couple's quarrels.

He directly took out the employment letter that he had written earlier and placed it on the table. "Sister-in-law, actually I came here today just to talk about my brother's job."

Hearing the word "work", Li Li stopped talking, picked up the contract on the table and shook it, "What is this?"

"Sister-in-law, I understand your concerns. Doing business does involve great risks. I have considered it carefully and decided to hire you to work for me. This is the employment letter. You can take a look at it first."

Li Li only has primary school education and can recognize most characters.

When Li Li saw the employment letter stating that the fixed monthly salary was 40 yuan, her eyes lit up.

40 a month, that’s 480 a year, which is much better than working on a construction site!

When she looked at Ling Chuan again, Li Li's face was full of smiles, and her tone was a bit flattering, "Chuanzi, are you serious about this? Give my old Ling 40 yuan every month?"

"Yes, sister-in-law, this is just the fixed salary. If you make money, you can also get a commission of 5% of the net profit."

Li Li didn't care about the 5% commission at all. She only thought about the 40 yuan salary every month. In her opinion, doing business is not that easy. It's good enough if she doesn't lose money.

The employment letter was in duplicate. After Ling Jiang and Ling Chuan signed their copies respectively, Li Li put away Ling Jiang's copy and hid it in the inner room like a treasure.

"Chuanzi, please sit for a while. I will go buy some vegetables and weigh some meat. You can eat at home at noon."

Even a stingy person like Li Li actually offered to buy meat, which shows how much she likes this employment letter.

Ling Chuan suddenly felt that listening to his wife was a very wise decision.
