Mr. Wang was in a great mood after receiving a Yuan Shikai silver dollar mother coin. When he transferred the money, he recognized Li Weidong's name and decided to befriend him.
After all, in business, having more friends means having more options.
Especially someone like Li Weidong, it's never a bad thing to get to know him.
Li Weidong arrived by motorcycle, so he didn't need a ride.
Boss Wang insisted, "Brother Weidong, it's fate that we met. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have received this treasure. Consider it making friends."
Li Weidong said helplessly, "Boss Wang, I came on a motorcycle, why would I need you to deliver it?"
"Are you suggesting I leave my car in your car?"
Mr. Wang was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh: "I'll drive behind you!"
After saying that, he added, "Since we're making friends, we need to be polite. Wait for me a moment."
While talking, he had the shop assistant make tea to calm Li Weidong down, but then he ran away in a flash.
Li Weidong was both amused and exasperated, and looked at the shop assistant: "What's your boss doing?"
The shop assistant shook his head.
About half an hour later, Boss Wang returned, panting: "Brother Weidong, let's go, I'll take you home!"
Li Weidong couldn't refuse him, so he had to agree, and was also a little curious about where he had just gone.
Boss Wang, however, remained mysterious: "You'll find out soon enough."
Li Weidong sighed helplessly, "Alright, we'll talk about it later."
He rode his motorcycle home, and Boss Wang followed behind in his Mercedes, at a moderate speed, just a car's length away, making him incredibly conspicuous.
Li Weidong looked at the Mercedes in the rearview mirror and sighed.
These days, owning a Santana is enough to cause a sensation in the neighborhood, let alone a Mercedes.
He just followed me back to the village; who knows what kind of trouble he'll cause!
Sure enough, on their way back to the village, before they even entered the village, they attracted a lot of onlookers.
"My goodness, what kind of car is this? It looks expensive."
“My cousin’s brother-in-law bought a car the other day, which cost tens of thousands of yuan. It looks very impressive. Compared to this car, it’s nothing. This car must have been expensive.”
"I recognize it, it's a Mercedes, it costs hundreds of thousands!"
As soon as these words were spoken, gasps of breath rose and fell from all around.
After all, in an era when even people with 10,000 yuan are rare, who wouldn't be shocked to see a car worth hundreds of thousands?
The news that a car worth over 100,000 yuan had arrived in the village spread quickly, and the whole village came out to see it.
Seeing the car parked in front of Li Weidong's house, the discussion became even more heated.
"You're here to see Weidong? No wonder you drive such a nice car."
"Wei Dong is really capable; even such a wealthy boss came to visit him personally."
"I wonder what kind of background this boss has. Wei Dong knows such a rich person. Isn't he going to become even more powerful in the future?"
"This car is so beautiful, when will I be able to afford it!"
"Keep dreaming!"
The crowd chatted and laughed, discussing the matter endlessly.
Li Weidong listened to these people's discussion and sighed inwardly.
It's just a Mercedes, yet it caused such a commotion. I should have known better than to let Mr. Wang drive me back.
But we're already here, what else can we do?
The Mercedes was parked outside Li Weidong's yard.
Zhao Xiulian came out upon hearing the sound, and upon seeing the car, she was taken aback: "Who is this...?"
Before Li Weidong could explain, Boss Wang preemptively introduced the situation.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Mr. Wang smiled broadly: "I'm the owner of Huihuang Recycling Shop in the city. You can just call me Xiao Wang."
Zhao Xiulian was completely bewildered: "Boss Wang, what are you doing..."
"Didn't Brother Weidong sell me Yuan Shikai silver dollars?"
Mr. Wang's smile became even more genuine: "His Yuan Shikai silver dollar is a priceless mother coin; I've really struck gold."
“I was thinking of making friends, so I came with him and even prepared some gifts for you.”
As he spoke, he took out several beautifully packaged gift boxes from the trunk.
Malted milk powder and other similar products are all nutritious supplements.
Li Weidong finally understood what Boss Wang had been doing.
So they went shopping!
Zhao Xiulian was flattered: "You came all this way, there was no need to bring anything, especially something so valuable, I can't accept it..."
"Oh dear, I brought them all here. Auntie, if you don't accept them, I won't take them back."
Boss Wang picked up the things and walked into the courtyard, saying, "I already said that Brother Weidong's Yuan Shikai silver dollar helped me a lot, so what's wrong with me giving him a gift in return? This little thing is nothing, please accept it!"
Li Weidong had already seen through his thoughts.
They simply know his identity and want to make his acquaintance.
However, he wasn't offended, so he said, "Mom, since Boss Wang gave it to us, let's accept it!"
"Go and cook some snacks."
Zhao Xiulian nodded and hurriedly went to the kitchen.
The crowd outside, eager to watch the spectacle, was already in an uproar.
"What Yuan Shikai silver dollar mother coin?"
“I know that. My grandfather said that the Yuan Shikai silver dollar mother coin is a good thing. Collectors like this kind of thing. It’s a treasure that you can’t buy even if you have money.”
"How come Wei Dong has this? Weren't all those Yuan Shikai silver dollars that were dug up during the foundation excavation all taken away?"
"How much would such a valuable treasure cost?"
For a time, all sorts of opinions were expressed.
Some busybodies even started shouting, "Boss Wang, how much did Wei Dong's mother coin sell for?"
Mr. Wang is a shrewd businessman; he certainly wouldn't say it directly, but would only look at Li Weidong.
Li Weidong smiled and said, "It's not much money, everyone stop guessing."
After saying that, he added, "Also, the jar of Yuan Shikai silver dollars that was dug up last time was taken away by the Cultural Relics Bureau. This one of mine was passed down from my grandfather."
Logically speaking, they should have kept a low profile.
But he was determined to make a big scene so he could clear his name, so he wasn't avoiding people at all.
His words only fueled the discussion among the crowd.
"It's not much money, why would the boss drive over himself?"
"That's right, that's right. They brought so much stuff with them, it must be worth a lot of money."
"I think I've heard of this mother coin before. A relative of mine sold one before, and I think it sold for around 100,000 yuan..."
For a moment, the sound of gasping for breath rose and fell.
Li Weidong didn't care at all. He took Boss Wang inside to have some snacks, letting them gossip as they pleased.
Mr. Wang ate a bowl of sweet egg soup at Li Weidong's house, chatted for a long time, and even left Li Weidong's phone number before leaving satisfied.
As soon as he left, Zhao Xiulian couldn't hold back anymore.
"Wei Dong, selling this Yuan Shikai silver dollar is a good thing, but why did you make such a fuss that so many people know about it?"
She looked worried: "They say you shouldn't flaunt your wealth. Your grandfather gave you these things, and you've sold them to so many people and made such a fuss. Your uncle and his family will probably come and cause trouble soon."
"What will we do then?!"
