Mr. Cai gave a big thumbs up; men truly admire men when it comes to this kind of thing.
It's absolutely genuine.
Whoever is fake is not a real man.
"Alright, brother, come on, let me calculate your money, so you can recover some losses. You have 10 left, which is 20,000 yuan in total. Add that to what you had before, and it'll be 10,000 yuan." Boss Cai turned around to get the money again.
"Wait!" Ye Cheng suddenly called out to him.
"What? Planning to raise the price? That's not fair of you. You think you can get the money for chasing women out of me?" President Cai teased.
"No, wait for me."
After saying that, Ye Cheng darted to the door like a rabbit and looked around.
Damn it, those two women really left.
That's good.
Otherwise, my three top-quality pearls might get ripped off again.
President Cai looked at Ye Cheng with a strange expression.
"No, bro, are you playing a double agent?"
Ye Cheng said with lingering fear,
"Infernal Affairs my ass, I'm just afraid of being robbed again. Women are really unreasonable."
"Tch, were you being reasonable when you touched her just now?" President Cai raised his middle finger in disdain.
Ye Cheng: ...
That...
Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore.
"Well, Mr. Cai, I have three more here, take a look." Ye Cheng said, opening his pocket again and starting to take things out.
Mr. Cai was completely dumbfounded.
"Holy crap! How much have you hidden? You're not going to pull out something else later, are you? Can't you just show it all at once?"
"If I take them all at once, I'll have lost out big time." Ye Cheng carefully placed the three on the plate.
Three exquisite, heavenly pearls, gleaming with a white-pink hue, captivated Mr. Cai.
"Excellent, absolutely excellent!" President Cai rubbed his hands together, his breathing becoming rapid.
"These three are the ones I picked out. They're big and have a good luster. There are only three of them out of dozens."
"This is something you can only come across once in a lifetime, and it's so big. I've never seen such a big Akoya pearl before."
Mr. Cai held the three pearls in his hands, admiring them from all angles, and couldn't find a single flaw.
Seeing that President Cai was still admiring it, Ye Cheng became anxious.
"No, Mr. Cai, please give me a price quickly. If those two women come back later, I'll lose a lot of money."
“I’ll give you 20,000 for 3, how about it?” Mr. Cai said excitedly.
Jewelry isn't afraid of being expensive; what's scary is a lack of quality.
These three are of such exceptional quality that they're beyond jewelry-grade, practically auction-grade.
If you take it to the provincial capital and find a few big jewelers, you can definitely double the price.
"Okay! Hurry up and pay me."
Ye Cheng just wanted to get the money as soon as possible and secure it.
The total came to nearly 50,000 yuan. If those two women hadn't stolen it from him, he would have made over 50,000 yuan in one go.
Cool!
Making money from jewelry is more lucrative than making money from fish.
Next time I'll have to tie Big Yellow to the boat. Damn it, I won't feed it until I find something.
Maybe next time I'll buy myself another ten or eight Mirabilis pills. Just thinking about the money involved makes it hard to even count.
After getting the money, Ye Cheng made a hasty escape like a thief, since those two were even more cunning than thieves.
Thankfully, I didn't run into them when I came out. Today was really unlucky.
Ye Cheng hailed a taxi and drove off; he had other things to do today.
I'm planning to buy another motorcycle.
There's nothing I can do; my subordinates need it now, and I've run out of my own.
I went to the same Lifan flagship store again. After all, this brand isn't fussy; you can go anywhere with it, it's very durable.
"Hey handsome, wanna buy a motorcycle? We have all kinds." As soon as you walk in, someone greets you.
"Give me a 100cc one, the regular model is fine, and I also need to add a few racks. Can you fit them here?"
Seeing how decisive Ye Cheng was, coming in and buying right away, the shop assistant was very happy. He was much more decisive than those who looked around for a long time and then thought about it.
Ye Cheng chose the same model as before, mainly because the luxury model was of little use to him, and the roads in the village were just like that, the luxury model would be shaken off after a couple of bumps.
When I came here, the store didn't offer installation services yet, but this time they do.
After Ye Cheng selected a car and paid for it, the salesperson took it to the back, where several workers helped with the installation.
"Xiao Li, install a stand for the boss." The shop assistant pushed the motorcycle in front of one of the hunched figures.
"Oh," the man responded, slowly turning his head.
"Li Ming?" Ye Cheng exclaimed. Although Li Ming's face was covered in grease, he still recognized him.
It's Li Ming, the one who ran away halfway through the last class reunion.
When Li Ming looked up and saw that it was Ye Cheng, he immediately became reserved.
"Ye Cheng, you bought a motorcycle?" Li Ming said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
I look a bit pathetic. It's one thing if I don't know him, but he's a classmate. He's already bought a motorcycle, while I'm still stuck fixing one.
That was quite embarrassing.
"You two know each other? Well, Xiao Li, please help the boss pack it properly. The money has already been paid." Seeing that they knew each other, the shop assistant didn't bother them any further and walked away.
Ye Cheng noticed Li Ming's embarrassment and took out a cigarette from his pocket, offering it to him.
"Come on, take a break first, I'm not in a hurry."
Li Ming waved his hand and pointed to the shop, "We can't smoke while we're working, or we'll be fined."
"What are you afraid of? I'm the customer, and the customer makes the decisions. Hurry up and stop dawdling." Ye Cheng forcefully shoved it in.
Seeing Ye Cheng's sincerity, Li Ming accepted the gift somewhat embarrassedly.
After lighting it for Li Ming, Ye Cheng joked,
"Bro, you weren't very nice last time. You ran away first. Damn it, Wu Bin said he wanted to split the bill. Did you already know that?"
After all, they were classmates. If Ye Cheng didn't put on airs, Li Ming gradually overcame his previous feelings of inferiority.
"Hey, I'm used to it. I've been there several times. If it weren't for the chance to get a good meal, I wouldn't bother going. Last time you went for the first time, I saw how he acted and wanted to join in, but since you're the one to take the blame, I left first."
"Damn! You're being way too honest."
Li Ming took a deep drag on his cigarette, his face etched with exhaustion. "People like us, all we have left is honesty. We're lucky if someone hires us to do work."
Ye Cheng smiled faintly, clearly seeing that Li Ming was indeed having a difficult time.
After finishing his cigarette, Li Ming began installing the bracket for Ye Cheng.
"Sure, you said you were fishing at the class reunion, and now you can even afford a motorcycle. Are you planning to change careers?" Li Ming asked casually.
Motorcycles gave rise to a great profession in that era: motorcycle taxis.
Just like Didi now, you can start working as long as you buy a motorcycle. If you're lucky, you can get a big job in the countryside, sometimes earning more than you would at a regular job.
Moreover, the work is flexible, and there's no platform that leeches off you; whatever you earn is yours—it couldn't be better.
Therefore, many people will take out their family savings to buy a car as a normal job.
