Chapter 167 Borrowing Money from Mother



The telephone operator entered the living room, made an outgoing call that worked fine, and the telephone in the bedroom also worked normally. He said, "Manager Gu, your internal phone number is 2388. If there's nothing else, we'll head back."

Gu Yurou said, "Thank you, you can go back now."

"You're welcome, it's our job."

After finishing his conversation, the telephone operator took his tools and went downstairs.

Gu Yurou went into the bedroom and took off her work clothes. Her work clothes were also very nice. She wore a black short skirt, a red short-sleeved shirt, and red high heels. Such work clothes could better show a woman's temperament.

Gu Yurou changed into a sapphire blue long dress. She's beautiful, so she looks good in anything. Then she put on high heels, went to the living room, picked up her handbag and mobile phone, and went downstairs.

He is the company manager, and his communication equipment must never leave his side. This is a company rule, not something he can carry around on the street to show off.

She walked out of the staff and family quarters and headed towards a nearby motorcycle dealership.

Gu Yurou walked into a motorcycle shop. In the past two years, motorcycle prices have not been as high as they were two years ago. Prices have generally been declining. Society is developing, and some commodities that were once scarce are now decreasing in price.

As people's living standards have gradually improved, previously outrageously expensive goods have become cheaper, and even wealthier people can afford them. However, for ordinary families, buying a motorcycle remains an unattainable dream.

Of course, prices for a large number of goods are rising, and the price reduction depends on the type of product. For example, the price of electrical appliances is not as high as it was a few years ago.

When the shop owner saw Gu Yurou carrying a mobile phone into the store, she thought that this kind of woman was the richest, because ordinary people couldn't afford a mobile phone in this day and age.

Actually, she really misjudged this time. Gu Yurou is rich, but she spends all of her monthly salary on her mother's medical treatment. With a sick person in the family, no matter how much money she earns, it won't be spent.

She may seem glamorous on the surface, but frankly, she's all show and no substance. If it weren't for the 6,000 yuan Dongqing gave her, she wouldn't have been able to afford the motorcycle.

The proprietress smiled and said, "You're so cool, beautiful lady. What price range of motorcycle are you planning to buy?"

Gu Yurou said, "Introduce me to a motorcycle that costs around 5,000 yuan."

The proprietress led her to a motorcycle, a red women's scooter, which looked very stylish and beautiful.

The shop owner said, "This is a Honda 125cc women's scooter, priced at 6200 yuan. Do you think this model is suitable?"

This motorcycle does look really good. Gu Yurou said, "My current financial situation doesn't allow me to buy such an expensive vehicle. How about we get a different motorcycle?"

The proprietress said, "This beautiful woman doesn't seem like someone who's short of money..."

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yurou interrupted, "Appearances can be deceiving sometimes. This mobile phone was provided to me by the company boss; I really don't have any money right now."

The landlady said, "There aren't many companies in our city that can afford such a large mobile phone. Which company do you work for?"

Gu Yurou said, "I work at Yusheng Company."

Nowadays, almost everyone knows the name of Yusheng Company; you see Yusheng Company's advertisements on TV every night.

The proprietress said, "Oh, so you work at Yusheng Company. I don't need to ask what your position is; the boss providing you with a mobile phone means you must be in a high-level position. Before we open, could you arrange a stall for me at the wholesale market? I'd like to have my own shop there."

Gu Yurou said, "That's no problem. You can come to the company to find me when you have time. My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Yurou. Just look for Manager Gu when you get there."

The proprietress said she would definitely come when she had time. She added, "Consider it making friends. I won't make a single penny off you. I'll round it down to 5800 yuan; I really don't make any profit at this price."

Gu Yurou didn't believe her nonsense at all. Business people are all big liars. You'd have to wait for the sun to rise in the west to get the truth out of her. She's a master of deception.

No one would believe she doesn't earn a single penny. She probably doesn't even believe her own words. She's just lying through her teeth. She could talk a dead person back to life.

Gu Yurou said, "I'm not one to haggle. How about I give you a round number, 5000 yuan?"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress's face showed an indescribable expression. She said, "Young lady, you really are a businesswoman. This price is really not acceptable. Please don't make me lose money."

After the proprietress finished speaking, she took out her purchase invoice and handed it to Gu Yurou. The invoice showed a purchase price of 5,200 yuan. She was no novice in this area and could tell at a glance that it was not a fake invoice.

Gu Yurou said nothing, returned the invoice to the shop owner, took out 5,500 yuan from her bag and handed it to her. She said, "We're all business people, we're not idiots in this area. Since you think so highly of me, I can't let you not make a penny. I'll give you a middle price, and you can get an invoice."

Gu Yurou was quick and decisive in her words and actions. In this day and age, giving her a profit of 300 yuan was already quite good. The boss lady said, "You're really a capable person," and then gave her an invoice.

After writing out the invoice, the proprietress handed it to Gu Yurou and said, "I've told you the bottom price I paid for the goods, which shows I want to be friends with you. I hope you won't tell anyone. If anyone asks, just say you bought the motorcycle for 6,000 yuan."

Gu Yurou said no problem. This is how business works; you fool as many people as you can.

The river flows gurglingly, and the tricksters never stop. There are plenty of tricksters to buy things, and with enough deception, you're bound to successfully fool one or two.

Gu Yurou considered this commonplace; all business people did it this way, and she took it very lightly.

The proprietress installed a battery in the motorcycle, then filled it with a tank of gas, and started the engine with a gentle press of the accelerator. The new motorcycle was so easy to start, it ignited instantly.

Gu Yurou put the invoice from the motorcycle into her bag, put the bag and her mobile phone into the trunk, said goodbye to the shop owner, and then started the motorcycle to go home.

Dongqing stayed at the company for a long time, then gave his second sister some instructions for the next steps, and then went downstairs to leave the company.

As the sun set behind the mountains, Dongqing walked into her father-in-law's shop. Li Yuqiu had already brought back two truckloads of high-end porcelain from out of town. Her father-in-law was busy in the vegetable garden and couldn't take care of things here, while her mother-in-law was here with several children to look after the shop.

Business isn't particularly good right now. Li Yuqiu mainly stores goods here to deliver to customers in other places. His mother-in-law takes care of the child and looks after the storefront by herself. She doesn't earn much, but she can earn a few dozen yuan a day. For an old lady, earning a few dozen yuan a day is quite a lot. At least she doesn't have to pay rent for her storefront.

His wife, Li Yuzhu, was also there. She asked, "Is everything settled at the company?"

"Everything is settled." Dongqing paused for a moment and asked, "Mother, how much savings do we have now?"

The mother said, "Your sister earned a total of 1.52 million yuan from selling goods and tending the vegetable garden."

Li Yuzhu said, "There are so many! Let us borrow them first."

"Of course, I'll go back and get your bankbooks right away."

After saying that, the mother walked out of the store and headed home.
