Chapter 337: Phone Calls and Movements
Gao Mingcheng calculated the time and made a phone call in the evening of the third day.
The telephone signal quickly reached the capital, and in an ordinary slum, a telephone rang.
"Axun, answer the phone!" Lu Yin's voice came from a room. Wang Xun was sitting on the steps eating. He put his bowl on the ground and ran quickly to the telephone.
"Hello." He picked up the phone and said skillfully, "This is the Shihui Waste Recycling Company. What can I do for you?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Wang Xun."
"Ah? Looking for me? Who are you?" Wang Xun was dumbfounded. He had just arrived in the capital not long ago, and someone actually called him.
"Are you Director Wang's nephew Wang Xun? I am Gao Mingcheng, and I would like to ask about Deng Wanwan's situation." Gao Mingcheng said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Wang Xun calling Deng Wanwan's name and said, "Oh, I'll ask her to answer the phone, you two can talk."
Soon, Deng Wanwan's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Deng Wanwan was a little nervous and fed the baby timidly.
She was forced to leave at that time, but she felt a little sorry for Gao Mingcheng for leaving so suddenly.
Gao Mingcheng was her savior and had helped her a lot. But if he just left like this, Gao Shufang would be the only one left in the clothing store and she was afraid she would be overwhelmed.
Therefore, she felt somewhat regretful afterwards.
She felt that if she wanted to leave, she should tell Gao Mingcheng before leaving.
Now that she received a call from Gao Mingcheng, even though Gao Mingcheng hadn't said anything yet, she could feel Gao Mingcheng's concern for her.
He must have been afraid that something bad might happen to him, so he called to confirm.
As Deng Wanwan thought about this, she felt more and more guilty.
Hearing Deng Wanwan's voice, Gao Mingcheng was completely relieved. He got this phone number from Director Wang. He learned from Director Wang that one of Wang Xun's cousins smelled a business opportunity and went to the capital to develop, and later opened a waste recycling company.
This time, Wang Xun was called over not only to collect waste, but also to pick up bargains.
In the capital, some local residents have more or less old items in their homes. If they can be bought at a low price, they can be sold at a high price.
Even if you can't collect old items, you can still make a lot of money just by collecting junk.
Director Wang was afraid that Gao Mingcheng would not believe him, so he said a few more words.
But Gao Ming Cheng Xin.
In the 1980s, 1990s, many people started making money. They either seized business opportunities or stood at the forefront of the trend, and then their wealth grew like a snowball.
After the reform and opening up, urban residents gradually became richer and began to spend money lavishly. At that time, people generally had no awareness of waste utilization, and discarded waste paper, empty plastic bottles, etc. could be seen everywhere.
Especially in construction sites, a large number of construction material packaging bags, scrap iron, hemp ropes, etc. are discarded every day. If these are collected and sent to waste recycling stations, they can all be sold for money.
Although the money is small, it is a lot. As long as you work hard, you can make a fortune from it.
Many people look down on scrap collecting, but it is really profitable.
Gao Mingcheng chatted with Deng Wanwan for a while and learned about Deng Wanwan's situation in the capital. He then told Deng Wanwan that he had told her parents about her situation in the capital and urged Deng Wanwan to call her parents or write a letter once she settled down.
"I will, Brother Gao, thank you." Deng Wanwan said with a choked voice. Because the phone bill was expensive, Deng Wanwan did not dare to talk for too long. She reached out and quickly wiped the tears from her face and said, "Brother Gao, don't worry. Everything is fine here. I will work hard and come back when I make money."
"Well, take good care of yourself." Gao Mingcheng said a few more words and hung up the phone.
After talking to Deng Wanwan on the phone, Gao Mingcheng felt a lot more relieved. Next, he would train Luo Li well and let her start selling goods as soon as possible. By then, the pressure on the store would be much less.
Letting Luo Li come to work in the store was, firstly, to do Huang Dazhi a favor, and secondly, Luo Li was about to get married, and was not as pretty as Deng Wanwan, so Gao Mingli would not let the rabbit eat the grass in its own backyard again.
Speaking of Gao Mingli, he seemed to have become a little withdrawn ever since he was scolded by him last time. He has been timid these days and ignored people. After get off work, he either came back very late or went into his room as soon as he came back.
Gao Mingli is the youngest son in the family. He has received more attention since he was young, so it is inevitable that he has developed this weak and awkward character.
Gao Mingcheng didn't have time to be his confidant brother, so he planned to let him think it through on his own.
He used to grow trees and vegetables in the village, and now he has returned to the county, so he has to visit those relationships he needs to maintain, otherwise he will inevitably become unfamiliar with them over time.
He first took Xuanmei to visit Gao Guobing's home and told them the good news that Xuanmei was pregnant.
Zhao Dongmei seemed very happy to see them coming.
Both of her sons are not around, and sometimes Gao Guobing has to work on cases outside, so the house is often empty.
It was okay when I lived in the staff housing estate before. I could chat with the neighbors on both sides and pass the time. Besides, the houses were small at that time and were filled with all kinds of furniture, so it didn’t look empty.
Now this new house is much bigger than the previous one. It is fine when everyone is at home, but when no one is at home, it seems particularly empty and deserted.
In order to pass the time, Zhao Dongmei turned over the soil in the yard and prepared to plant some vegetables. Not only did she plan to plant vegetables, she also planned to raise a few chickens.
She built a chicken coop in the corner of the wall, and then built a bamboo fence around it for the chickens to move around in.
Chickens are straightforward creatures. They poop while walking and eat random vegetables.
If you don't lock up the chickens, they will fly into your house and your whole house will be covered with chicken droppings.
At the dinner table, Zhao Dongmei frequently picked up food for Xiumei and asked her to eat more with a smile.
Xuanyuemei is pregnant, and Zhao Dongmei seems even happier than Luo Xiaohua.
It’s a pity that Xuanyuemei now vomits everything she eats because of her severe reaction during early pregnancy, and in the end, those dishes still fell into Gao Mingcheng’s mouth.
Zhao Dongmei had given birth to two children herself, so she could understand why. She said, "When you are old enough to eat, come back to my house and I will kill a chicken for you!"
Xuanyuemei knew that Zhao Dongmei didn't like to be polite, so she agreed with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng had heard Zhao Dongmei complain about feeling lonely and bored after living in her new home, so he said, "Uncle, aunt, I plan to buy a piece of land nearby and build a house."
Gao Guobing was stunned, and the first thing he asked was: "Do you have money to build a house?"
Gao Mingcheng was quite modest. He said, "I have enough money to buy the land, so I plan to buy the land first to avoid selling out all the land here in the future."
"As for the money to build the house, the clothing store is making money every month, so we can slowly build it."
Upon hearing this, Gao Guobing nodded, thinking that Gao Mingcheng's consideration was very thoughtful.
So he said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to find out how the surrounding land is selling. You can build a house here. Although it's not as lively as the street, the environment here is better. When the People's Park behind is built, you can go jogging and keep fit in the park. When the children grow up, they will have a place to play."
Zhao Dongmei even wished that Gao Mingcheng would build a house nearby so that she could often hang out with Xuanyuemei and have someone to talk to on a daily basis.
She said enthusiastically, "I'll ask around for you too. I originally wanted to ask my brother to build a house here as well, but he said this place is a bit far from the Transportation Bureau, and he'd rather build a house near the Transportation Bureau."
After entrusting the purchase of land to Gao Guobing and his wife, Gao Mingcheng felt relieved. There are some tricks in the land transaction, and if you have connections, you can get it done more smoothly.
"Come, uncle, I'll toast you." Gao Mingcheng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Gao Guobing's. He was the younger generation, so the rim of his glass was shorter than Gao Guobing's to show respect.
