"Ah?" Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "You don't want this money?"
"Nonsense, what do I need this money for? If my parents find out, they'll definitely have to pay it back to you, and that would be a waste of time."
"Are you stupid? You won't tell them?"
"How can I possibly keep this a secret? With such a large sum of money, my wife will definitely ask where it came from. How will I explain it then? If I tell her it was you who paid the gift money, do you think she'll believe it? Will she not go to my parents to ask about it?"
After staring at him for a while, Li Xu suddenly started cursing, "You son of a bitch, after all, you still want to give me the car."
"Yes." Fu Qing answered without hesitation.
Seeing his answer so clear and concise, Li Xu suddenly had an urge to hit someone...
After taking a deep breath, Li Xu forced a smile and said in a kind tone, "Old Fu, if you get caught in the future, just say that your parents secretly gave you the money and ask your wife not to ask too many questions. I believe she won't say anything."
Upon hearing this, Fu Qing immediately became unhappy, "You son of a bitch, you want to take advantage of me?"
Li Xu couldn't hold it in any longer and gritted his teeth, "You bastard, I'm telling you, I'll take the car, but I'll give you the money. How you make it up is up to you. If you dare to talk to me about something else again, don't blame me for beating you up."
After saying that, he folded the receipt and stuffed it into his pocket, then turned and walked towards the main room.
He really didn't want to talk nonsense anymore.
It was tiring enough transporting supplies these days, but I didn’t expect to be even more tired after coming back.
Now he just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so he can only use force to threaten to pay off.
Unfortunately, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Fu Qing. Then a voice came from behind him, "Why are you so anxious? Even if you beat me up, I can't accept this money."
Li Xu clenched his fists tightly, turned his head to look at him, and said with a forced smile, "Can you tell me again?"
Faced with this blatant threat, Fu Qing was not afraid at all. "This is your house, and you still dare to hit me? Do you believe I will call Uncle Li and the others out?"
Li Xu: ...
If you say that, I really can't hit you.
Otherwise, Li Jiakang and others would have to come out and teach me a lesson.
Thinking of this, Li Xu could only play the victim and say, "Brother Fu, can I call you brother? Please fulfill my wish, otherwise I won't be able to sleep at night."
"No, you are my brother. If I take your money, my dad and the others will beat me to death. Please spare my life."
"No, your family is counting on you to carry on the family line. They will definitely keep you alive."
"I can't stand being half dead."
After Fu Qing finished speaking, the atmosphere instantly fell silent, and the two of them just stared at each other.
After a moment, Li Xu sighed and said, "The money will definitely be given to you. No matter what you say, it's useless."
Fu Qing probably didn't want to continue the stalemate, so he gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, you give me fifty yuan, and that will be your gift, okay?"
"No, it's too little."
"Then how much do you want to give?"
"Three hundred and four."
"Impossible." Fu Qing refused. "This is too high. Please lower it a bit."
"What about three hundred?"
“It’s high.”
"Two hundred and fifty? Bah, no, it's two hundred and sixty."
“It’s high.”
"Two hundred, that's not too much, right?"
"It's still too high."
Li Xu couldn't help himself and said dissatisfiedly, "How much do you think is appropriate? Let me tell you first, fifty is definitely not enough."
After thinking for a moment, Fu Qing stretched out his right hand, then retracted his three middle fingers, leaving only his thumb and pinky extended. "That's the number."
Seeing this gesture, Li Xu almost laughed out loud, "Damn it, I said fifty wasn't enough, and you raised it by ten yuan?"
Fu Qing was very confident, "Sixty is not a small amount. If my parents knew about this, I would be severely punished."
"How about this, we both take a step back and give each other one hundred and eighty yuan, how about that?"
"You've taken a big step back. I'd say seventy is about right."
Then the two started arguing again, and neither of them was willing to give in.
After a long time, they could no longer bear it and had to compromise and reach a negotiated price of 120 yuan.
Only after the discussion did Li Xu breathe a sigh of relief.
Although this number is quite different from what he imagined, it doesn’t matter. He can find an opportunity to make up for it slowly in the future.
Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "It's really hard to discuss things with you. By the way, why did you look for me the other day?"
The price of the bicycle was just reduced today, so the fact that he paid in full two days ago and came to see me definitely wasn't a gift.
"I find it tiring too. Why don't you just accept it? I have to deal with my parents too." Fu Qing was in no mood to laugh, so he said unhappily, "I came to see you a few days ago because I wanted to tell you that I'm about to get a permanent job."
"Ah?" Li Xu was surprised. "You're about to be promoted? Is that true?"
You have to know that Fu Qing has been working for a few months less than me, which is only about a year and a half. How come he can be converted to a regular employee so soon?
"Really? The county has asked our street office to manage the market. As you know, managing a market requires a lot of manpower, so the higher-ups are planning to make us apprentices regular employees early."
Now Li Xu understood that there were not enough people on the street.
So he said with a hint of envy, "You are so lucky."
How could he not be envious?
You have to know that he worked really hard to get this opportunity to become a regular employee, and many people were jealous of him and tried to trip him up.
Ke Fuqing only needed to sleep and chat in the office every day. His busiest time was just arranging matters for people to go to the countryside. Then he would suddenly be able to be regularized ahead of schedule. Moreover, they regularized a large number of people at the same time, so naturally there would be no one who was jealous or tried to make things difficult for them.
You don't know until you compare, the difference is obvious...
Fu Qing was so happy that his back teeth were almost showing, but he still wanted to be humble. "What's the point of being lucky or unlucky? Aren't you going to be a regular employee too?"
"Well, it should be in the next few days."
A few days ago, Li Xu heard that the car purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative was on the way. According to the time, it would arrive in the next few days.
"That's great. Maybe we can both become regular employees."
Li Xu suddenly laughed and said, "If I become a regular employee, I will treat you to a meal at a high-end restaurant."
"Okay, I'll treat you if I become a regular employee."
The two looked at each other and then burst into laughter at the same time.
After chatting for a few minutes, Fu Qing said goodbye and left.
After he left, Li Jiakang couldn't wait to ask, "Xiao Xu, why didn't he ride the bike away?"
"I took the car."
"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
