After getting off the bus, He Dazhu immediately dialed the number on the business card that Boss Bai had given him.
The call went through shortly afterward.
"Boss Bai, do you still remember me?"
"I've delivered the 100 jin of high-quality honey you requested."
Bai Ling was shocked on the other end of the phone. Only a few days had passed, and He Dazhu had already delivered the honey.
Where is your herbal medicine pavilion?
"I'll send it directly to you."
Bai Ling said happily, "I didn't expect you to be so reliable."
"My herbal medicine shop is on Renmin Street. You can get there using your phone's navigation."
"I will personally bring a mysterious figure to greet you then."
Bai Ling then hung up the phone.
"You big idiot, who are you calling?"
He Dazhu ignored He Shuqi and opened his phone's navigation app, entered "Lingyao Pavilion," and the navigation started instantly.
"Who else would I call? Of course, I'd call the big boss."
As he spoke, He Dazhu began to move forward in the direction indicated by the navigation.
He Dazhu used to attend high school in Xijing County. He was the top scorer in the county's college entrance examination and was very successful. Unfortunately, after he became mentally disabled, all his success has vanished like smoke.
Xijing is the poorest county in Qingshan City. Basically, all the county heads who have taken office here have only sold land as a way to develop the economy.
However, as desertification worsens, land has become increasingly difficult to sell, leaving Xijing County trapped in poverty day after day.
Soon, He Dazhu brought He Shuqi to Boss Bai's herb pavilion.
When He Dazhu arrived at the Spirit Medicine Pavilion, he was shocked.
Bai Ling's Spirit Medicine Pavilion exuded an antique charm that rushed towards He Dazhu, who was immediately shocked. He had rarely seen such a beautifully decorated pavilion when he was studying in the provincial capital.
Bai Ling's Lingya Pavilion is truly a unique gem in Xijing County.
He Shuqi, standing to the side, asked with a puzzled look, "What are you doing here, you big idiot?"
"What else can I do here? Sell honey, of course."
beep beep—
Suddenly, a piercing horn blared from the roadside.
He Dazhu subconsciously looked over and saw a BMW parked on the side of the road, and a man and a woman got out.
The man had a large belly, a thick gold chain around his neck, and gold rings on his fingers. He was dressed in a red suit and had the typical look of a nouveau riche.
The woman next to him was wearing a fitted long dress, with her curly hair hanging straight down to her slender waist. She walked with a swaying gait, looking very seductive.
He Dazhu was immediately shocked.
Because the person who came down was none other than Xia Chuchu, who had liked him back in high school.
Just as He Dazhu was about to avoid it, he bumped right into Xia Chuchu who was walking towards him.
Xia Chuchu let go of the man's hand next to her and walked over to He Dazhu, giving him another careful look.
He then said, "Hey, isn't this our class's top student back then?"
"How did you end up like this?"
"It's making me a little embarrassed to acknowledge you."
"Who is Chu Chu?" the man next to him asked.
"Who else could this person be but that good-for-nothing He Dazhu?"
"My high school classmate was really amazing back in high school, I don't know how he ended up like this today."
"It seems that being good at studying isn't all that impressive."
"He's still dressed in rags, so he can only find a village girl to marry." Xia Chuchu mocked without any politeness.
Upon hearing Xia Chuchu's words, He Dazhu instantly flew into a rage.
"Xia Chuchu, don't go too far with your words. We have nothing to do with each other anymore."
Xia Chuchu immediately covered her nose with one hand and fanned it with the other, looking at He Dazhu with disgust.
"It's a good thing you didn't agree back then, otherwise I wouldn't have met such a good husband as Lao Jin."
He Dazhu said coldly, "Xia Chuchu, are you done? Now get out of here."
"I'm not in the mood to pay attention to you right now."
"He Dazhu, you haven't changed at all. Don't you understand that you can no longer speak to me in the same tone as before?"
"In today's society, money is everything. The money Lao Jin makes in the mine is more than you, a simpleton, could ever earn in your entire life."
"And now I'm Lao Jin's future wife, so you should at least lower your stance a bit."
Xia Chuchu said arrogantly, relying on her master's power.
He Dazhu glanced at Xia Chuchu helplessly.
Xia Chuchu was quite a beauty, and was considered one of the most beautiful girls in her class.
Xia Chuchu rejected He Dazhu simply because their personalities clashed, and He Dazhu wasn't interested in dating during high school.
What puzzles He Dazhu now is how a girl who is quite decent could find a man who is more than ten years older than him.
He Dazhu glanced at Lao Jin beside him and instantly understood when he saw the golden light emanating from Lao Jin's entire body: Lao Jin possessed the power of money.
He Dazhu glanced at Xia Chuchu again, instantly activated his Xuan Tian Divine Eye, and then a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Xia Chuchu, you haven't changed much since then."
"She still loves to play, and she's quite adept at it."
"I'm so happy for you, you actually managed to find such a rich sucker to take over your money."
Upon hearing the words "sucker," Jinfa Cai, who was standing to the side, immediately became alert and looked at Xia Chuchu with suspicion.
