The elderly women looked at each other, then retreated, looking dejected and disheveled.
Damn it, they even want to introduce me to someone. I'm here to go beachcombing; finding women will only slow me down.
"Auntie, that fair-skinned, beautiful girl with legs longer than her life, I'd love to be with her!" Little Tiger leaned over with an envious look.
...
Mr. Qian pursed his lips, looked at Ye Cheng and secretly gave him a thumbs up, "Brother, you can even rhyme now."
"Hurry up and pay me. I'll just take some anti-contraceptive pills next time."
Mr. Qian opened his large wallet, counted out 13,000 yuan, and there was still more than 400 yuan left for the water tank.
After receiving the money, Ye Cheng gave Xiao Hu three thousand, gave Widow Zhang 100, and had nine thousand nine left for himself.
I counted my savings; I had 13,000 yuan.
Life is about to take off!
Of course, he had to spend the money now that he had it. Saving money wasn't Ye Cheng's style. He had Xiao Hu take the water tank back, and then hitched a ride with Boss Qian to the city, planning to do a big shopping spree.
In the car, Mr. Qian handed Ye Cheng a cigarette, glanced at him, and hesitated before speaking.
Having been around for a while, Ye Cheng surely knew what he meant. After taking a drag of his cigarette, he calmly said, "Mr. Qian, just say what you have to say."
Mr. Qian chuckled twice. "It wasn't anything special, just a casual chat. Did you notice how the villagers' eyes lit up when you took out more than 10,000 yuan?"
Ye Cheng's expression hardened, and he immediately understood what President Qian meant. He frowned slightly, "It shouldn't be that bad, I reminded you before."
"Brother, people's hearts are the most unpredictable thing. I've been through it all. When you're down on your luck, I hope you're doing well. But once you're doing well, well..."
Ye Cheng was shocked. It was indeed true. When he was a regular employee at a large company, he got along very well with his colleagues, and everyone spoke highly of him.
However, after he became a middle manager, some rumors started to circulate, the most outrageous of which was that he got the position by sleeping with women.
Damn it, I'm a man, and you guys actually think of me climbing the social ladder by sleeping with someone?
Moreover, his former colleagues, who were very close to him, flattered him to his face but spoke ill of him behind his back.
That's the current situation in Baiyun Village: everyone in the village is a snob and disliked by everyone.
Suddenly one day, lol, those who worked hard didn't get rich, but a whole village of layabouts did.
It's impossible to expect everyone to feel at peace now.
However, Ye Cheng still had some confidence, after all, he had reminded everyone about the storm before and had even lent money to Duan Yong's family.
The act of spending a fortune to buy bones is precisely to prevent this.
He smiled calmly, "Okay, thank you for the tip, Mr. Qian. I'll remember it."
Mr. Qian saw that he understood, so he didn't say much. After all, they were just business partners and hadn't become close friends yet.
After chatting idly in the car for a while, the two arrived in the city, and Ye Cheng went directly to Lifan's store.
"Are you planning to buy a motorcycle, brother?" Mr. Qian asked.
"Yeah, it's inconvenient to have to hitch a ride with someone else every time I go into town."
"Then let's just buy a small bread roll, it's not expensive."
Ye Cheng shook his head. "I don't have enough money right now. I have a lot of things to do. I'll buy a motorcycle first and then change to another one when I have more money."
To be honest, Ye Cheng wanted to buy a car, but cars are really expensive these days, starting at 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. It would take him quite a while to save up enough money for a car.
For now, we'll buy a motorcycle; later, when we get a new car, we'll give it to my older brother or Xiao Hu.
Ye Cheng had previously visited Lifan's motorcycle shop and bought the cheapest one for 3,600 yuan. He also added a support frame to the back seat for easier loading of goods.
The total came to 4,000 yuan. Although a small portion of the profit was gone, the little motorcycle was still very energetic and exciting.
After buying the car, Ye Cheng no longer needed to take a motorcycle taxi; he simply rode his own motorcycle around.
First, I went to the electronics mall, also known as the electronics superstore, which has all kinds of home appliances.
There are so few electrical appliances in the house; it's really hard for someone from a later generation to get used to it.
Ye Cheng bought two electric water heaters. Although the climate here is relatively warm, he still prefers to take hot showers, which is a matter of personal preference.
Ye Guowei, the eldest brother, also needs to take a shower every day when he comes home, so Ye Cheng bought him one as well.
The Haier Brothers set costs 1200 yuan each, so the total is 2400 yuan.
Then Ye Cheng bought a Galanz microwave oven, a high-tech product from later generations. It was perfect for a bachelor like him, making it very convenient to heat up food. It was also a good deal, costing only a few hundred yuan.
It's just that air bombing isn't popular yet, otherwise Ye Cheng would definitely buy one.
The salesperson, seeing that this was a big customer, was very enthusiastic, "Boss, we also have the latest induction cookers, would you like to buy one?"
"Ha, you have an induction cooker? Let me see."
This is quite a surprise. I thought induction cookers weren't popular yet, but I didn't expect that a place like Donghai City would have them.
"Come on, we have to have one!" Ye Cheng said excitedly.
With an induction cooker, I can enjoy hot pot, which is one of life's greatest pleasures.
Haier water heaters, Galanz microwave ovens, Midea induction cookers.
Ye Cheng felt incredibly rich now; even if you brought apples to your dog in the future, you wouldn't be as happy as him.
Of course, it didn't save money either. The two water heaters, plus a microwave oven and an induction cooker, cost Ye Cheng a total of 3,000 yuan.
Adding the 4,000 yuan from the motorcycle, 7,000 yuan was spent in one go, leaving him with 6,000 yuan in savings.
If Ye Guowei knew, he would probably be heartbroken for a long time.
The water heater is too big, so it can only be delivered by the mall, and there will be additional shipping costs.
Ye Cheng was able to strap the induction cooker and microwave oven to his motorcycle and take them back himself.
As soon as Ye Cheng came out of the home appliance store, he immediately saw a very familiar car parked across the street.
Is this Li Yong's van? Has this guy also entered the city?
Ye Cheng originally wanted to say hello, but Li Yong seemed to have something to do and drove away directly.
Nothing much happened, so Ye Cheng didn't call him back and went off to do other things on his own.
Besides buying a car and appliances, Ye Cheng also planned to buy some small items and some groceries to take back with him when he went to the city.
There aren't many vegetables in the town, but there's plenty of seafood, though many things aren't available for sale.
The current farmers' markets are still the old-fashioned kind. When you walk in, they're all damp. Except for the butchers who have their own high-end cement counters, everyone else just puts their baskets on the ground, focusing on affordability.
Carnivores come in and head straight for the meat.
Pork is available at the dock, but beef is less common, and as for mutton, Ye Cheng decided to pass.
Those who are not from the North generally cannot cook mutton well, and Ye Cheng has always believed that only mutton from the North tastes good, and he is not used to eating mutton from the South.
