Chapter 123 Talent
After Li Ye entered the room, Jin Peng stared at the four "Cheng Yaojin".
Anyone would feel uncomfortable if someone suddenly showed up and intercepted them, and this was only in the capital city. If it was in Qingshui County, he would just wave his hand and his younger brothers would rush over and beat them up to teach them a lesson.
"Brother Peng, how about I kill them? We can't let them ruin Brother Xiaoye's business."
Jin Peng, who was staring at me, was speechless. I was using mental intimidation! You idiot, did you take it seriously?
Seeing Jin Peng's blaming look, Wang Jianqiang licked his lips and said awkwardly: "At worst, I can stay in jail for a few days. I can help Brother Xiaoye and save two thousand yuan."
Jin Peng couldn't help but shook Wang Jianqiang's shoulder and said, "Qiangzi, we are not the same as before. Let alone 2,000 yuan, even 20,000 yuan is not worth it."
Wang Jianqiang grinned: "Twenty thousand. Hey, I'll listen to Brother Peng."
"Alas~"
Jin Peng sighed and said, "You brewed a special wine that is a blessing for fools. If it weren't for your brother Xiaoye, you wouldn't be able to eat three dishes in your life."
Wang Jianqiang was not annoyed at all, and nodded repeatedly: "I often didn't have enough to eat before, but now I can eat as many dishes as I want."
Isn't that nonsense?
A vegetarian dish costs only a few cents, and a meat dish costs one or two yuan. Wang Jianqiang is now a small wealthy man with a six-figure fortune. What can he not afford?
At this time, Zhang Rui and Li Ye came out of the room.
Zhang Rui said to the four people, "Go back! This house has been sold to someone else. Sorry."
The four people who had been silent were suddenly startled, looking at Zhang Rui in confusion, and then at Li Ye.
They thought the price they offered was high enough, so how could there be anyone more stupid?
"Mr. Zhang, the price is negotiable. We can also exchange foreign currency."
"This isn't about money. The paperwork for selling the house has already been completed. You guys should leave now!"
Zhang Rui impatiently drove the man away, while Li Ye waved to Wang Jianqiang, rubbing his thumb and index finger together as if counting money.
Wang Jianqiang hurried over and took off the shoulder bag he was carrying.
Li Ye took out ten bundles of big unity and handed them to Zhang Rui casually.
"Take the money, I'll come to handle the formalities later."
"Don't worry, we'll move out in a dozen days at most."
Zhang Rui took the money and couldn't help but say, "Brother, you are really generous! I'm so envious."
Li Ye smiled, waved to him, and walked out of the yard. He was really free and easy.
Jin Peng and Wang Jianqiang hurried to follow.
After they got outside, Jin Peng asked in a low voice: "Xiao Ye, why don't you wait for him to count the money before leaving?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "Senior professors outside Beijing are respectable people and will not cheat us out of money like this."
"You're too quick," Jin Peng said, "You just threw in two thousand dollars like that? Our money didn't come from the wind, did it? We have to bargain!"
Li Ye smiled and said, "These two thousand dollars are not a loss."
There was a room full of old things, with exquisite carvings and obvious wood grain. Even if Li Ye had no discernment, he knew that they were good things.
Besides, would a professor from outside Beijing use a room full of fake goods to cheat outsiders out of two thousand yuan?
That would be too much of a disrespect for the noble character of scholars these days.
Seeing that Li Ye was like picking up a wallet, Jin Peng naturally couldn't say anything more. He knew clearly who was the master and who was the subordinate. Anyway, Li Ye was a rich man, so if he wanted to build it, then let him build it!
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
The three brothers had not walked far when they heard someone shouting from behind. From the thick accent, they knew it was the four people from before.
Li Ye stopped and looked back at the four people who were chasing him.
Wang Jianqiang hugged his bag and looked around, trying to find something like a brick to use.
"Don't be nervous, they are here to buy furniture."
"Buy furniture? What do you mean?"
"I guess they bought the house in a fake way, and the furniture was the real deal."
“.”
Jin Peng didn't quite believe it. Is there anyone who treats money less seriously than Li Ye?
But after the four men caught up with him, they really proposed to buy Li Ye's furniture, but their way was quite novel.
"My brothers, you have just bought a new house, so you must replace the furniture. We are in the business of imported furniture, authentic new-style plywood furniture, and we will exchange old for new."
I bought a watch last year!
Li Ye smiled and asked, "What's your name, brother?"
The other party handed over a cigarette and said, "Just call me Lao Ge. Young brother, you are young and promising, so you must keep up with the fashion. We have Italian products."
Li Ye shook his head and smiled, "Brother, do you earn US dollars? Japanese yen? Or Hong Kong dollars?"
Old Ge was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Ye carefully again.
With an accent from another place and young age, he shouldn't be one of those people from the capital. How could he see through me at first sight?
"This young man is a man of discerning eyes. Are you willing to do this business?"
"No," Li Ye said, "I won't work for overseas people, and I won't let these things spread out of this land and bring shame to our ancestors."
“.”
Lao Ge looked at Li Ye in surprise, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Everyone knows the advantages of foreign currency these days. Why are you talking to me about integrity?
Are you Yue Fei? Or Wen Tianxiang?
"Since you have no intention, little brother, then we will meet again in the mountains and rivers, and we will say goodbye now."
Lao Ge bowed to Li Ye and left with his men. One of them turned around and gave Li Ye a fierce look, looking quite unconvinced.
“Puff~”
Jin Peng suddenly laughed: "Fuck, these furniture sellers are so arrogant. In this big capital city, you can meet anyone."
"They are not simple people," Li Ye shook his head and said, "They are not selling furniture, but dealing in antiques. Be careful of such people in the future. They are much more ruthless than you think."
Jin Peng couldn't help but touch his scalp and said, "I've seen people who deal in antiques before, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as this!"
"Hey, Brother Peng, have you ever seen someone who collects antiques?"
"Haven't you seen him too?" Jin Peng said, "That lame old Song in the south of the city, who used to be the shopkeeper of a big pawnshop in the provincial capital. He always lied and talked nonsense.
A few years ago, he was beaten and his legs were broken. He had to sweep the streets and remove excrement. It was so miserable. If I was not young at that time and was not deceived by him into giving me steamed bread to listen to his stories, he would have starved to death.
Li Ye stopped and stared at Jin Peng intently, making this Brother Peng, who was rampant in Qingshui County, feel scared.
"Brother Peng, do you know what is the most precious thing these days?"
“.”
Jin Peng was smoking a cigarette, speechless.
How do I know what you're talking about?
Is money precious? Is love precious? Can you remind me?
If I say that your wife is the most precious, you won’t get angry, right?
Wang Jianqiang on the side suddenly said: "College students are the most precious. Hey, Brother Peng, college students are the most precious. Hehehehe."
Jin Peng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, college students like you, Xiaoye, are the most precious."
Li Ye laughed angrily. Even a simple and honest person like Wang Jianqiang was led astray by the bad social atmosphere.
"It's pretty much the same. The most valuable thing these days is talent."
"Send a telegram and ask Old Song to come to Beijing."
. . . . . . . . .
Li Kaijian rode a 250 motorcycle, wearing an imported helmet, and rumbled along the provincial road to the provincial capital, completely ignoring the constant pleas of the lame Old Song on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Slow down, slow down, I'm almost dying."
"Ouch, my old waist, I won't go if you keep doing this."
Li Kaijian didn't care. He rushed all the way to the provincial capital railway station, then he looked at Lao Song coldly and asked, "What did you say just now?"
Old Song got out of the car quickly: "Hey, I think this car is really good, fast, stable and comfortable."
"Hmph~"
Li Kaijian snorted coldly and said, "When we get to the capital, don't tell your children about those things. If I find out that you are not honest, don't blame me for throwing your grandson into the Qingshui River."
"No, no," Old Song said with a hunched back, "The top scholar is a new-style student. I definitely can't tell him those old-fashioned things."
"I really don't know what evil has befallen him."
Li Kaijian entered the train station, still mumbling to himself.
Yesterday afternoon, Old Song, a lame man from South City, came to Li Kaijian with a telegram, saying that Jin Peng asked him to go to the capital and needed Li Kaijian's help to issue a letter of introduction.
What was Old Song's previous status? How could Li Kaijian give him a letter of introduction? He finally got through to the Beijing Hotel and found out that it was his son who needed someone.
In just a few days, that bastard son actually bought a room full of old furniture and asked Old Song to help him see how much it was worth.
He's really grown too powerful and is treating his father like a slave.
But Li Ye had arranged everything, including what time the train would leave and who to contact at the station to get the ticket. All the arrangements were clear.
Li Kaijian had no choice but to find someone to write a letter of introduction and send Lao Song to take the bus.
As luck would have it, the bus from Qingshui County to the provincial capital was already full this morning.
There are only two buses a day from Qingshui County to the provincial capital, and there are often situations where "one person charters a bus". How can we get an extra bus for Mr. Song?
So Li Kaijian had to take him here on his motorcycle, and at the same time sternly warned the old cripple not to play any tricks.
Don’t think that Old Song is a coward now. He was really awesome when he was young.
Li Zhongfa was poor and had to bear arms at the age of fifteen, while Lao Song was living a prosperous life in the provincial capital at the age of twenty, and the top girls in all the buildings were known by name.
A few years ago, Old Song and his only grandson almost died, and he only survived those winters thanks to his clever eating skills.
Just think about how good he is at lying!
I was even tricked into listening to a piece of Ximen Qing!
. . . . . .
"Wow, sleeper berth ticket? Old Song, you finally got to try some foreign food this time."
As agreed, Li Kaijian got the train ticket outside the station, and it turned out to be a sleeper ticket.
Old Song took it awkwardly, cursing in his heart: "When I was riding on the train thirty years ago, you still wet the bed!
But for the sake of your son and money, I won’t bother with you.”
Old Song is a shrewd man, how could he be summoned away by just a telegram from Jin Peng?
When Jin Peng sent him a telegram, he also sent him a remittance slip for a full two hundred yuan.
"I'll take you to the car later, but I'm sure you don't break your other leg."
Li Kaijian has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. After he opened the gate to check tickets, he protected the limping Old Song until he got on the bus.
But as soon as he entered the waiting hall, he saw a lot of familiar faces.
Li Dayong, Hu Man, and Principal Chang.
No wonder today's early bus was full and left early. It turned out that all the college students in the county came to catch the bus together, and the school came to see them off.
What’s even worse is that Li Kaijian saw his sister Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue's eyes were red as she paced back and forth in the waiting room, her expression looking as if she was ready to bite anyone.
"Old Song! I'll send it to you! Use the money to buy food and drink on the way. When you get to the capital, remember to persuade my son not to indulge in pleasure. If he learns any bad habits, I..."
"I know, I know. I definitely won't."
Old Song agreed readily and quickly took out the twenty yuan.
My grandson is in his twenties and still single. My family is short of money!
Otherwise, why would Old Song, at his age, risk his life and rush to Beijing even though he had a lame leg?
Li Kaijian tried to walk away, but was seen by Li Mingyue who turned around.
"Start construction! Start construction! Stop right there!"
Li Mingyue ran over and grabbed Li Kaijian.
"Oh, big sister, please help Aiguo catch the train! What time is the train?"
"How dare you ask your nephew, you have no conscience"
Li Mingyue's tears flowed down.
Li Kaijian was also annoyed. He was scared whenever he saw Li Mingyue these days.
Originally, Cui Aiguo was admitted to a technical college in the west, and his family was extremely happy.
But later, when Li Mingyue found out that Li Ye had actually "led" seven classmates to be admitted to key universities in Beijing, she went crazy.
Can a junior college in the west be compared with a key undergraduate university in Beijing?
"Why don't you bring one of our Aiguo? Is it because I introduced him to an ugly wife?"
Li Ye went to the capital city ahead of time, so he had some peace and quiet, but his father suffered.
Li Mingyue has been going to our house to make trouble every day these days, which has annoyed everyone.
But Li Mingyue herself had forgotten that she had repeatedly used her own children as examples and despised the faces of Li Kaijian and Li Ye.
Cui Aiguo is good at studying, while Li Ye is poor at studying. Just because of this, Li Mingyue has shown off in front of her younger brother countless times.
Regarding this, Li Kaijian and Li Zhongfa mentioned to Li Ye twice whether he should take Cui Aiguo with him.
But Li Ye refused without hesitation.
Cui Aiguo was studying in the countryside because he missed home, dozens of miles away from the county town, and Li Ye had no time to serve him.
Li Kaijian owes Li Mingyue, but Li Ye does not owe her anything.
Besides, no one had thought that Li Ye could really lead so many people!
It's amazing!
"Big sister, it's useless for you to blame me now. If you have the ability, go to the capital to find Xiaoye. If Aiguo had a better relationship with Xiaoye, would Xiaoye not help you?"
Li Kaijian was also very annoyed and directly put the blame on his son.
But Li Mingyue cried and said: "Aiguo is lost, my son is lost, you have to compensate my son"
The irritated Li Kaicheng was immediately shocked and asked hurriedly: "How could he be lost? He is such a big man, where did he lose him?"
"It's right here. I've looked everywhere."
Li Mingyue cried and sobbed, and it took her several minutes to explain herself clearly.
It turned out that after knowing that Li Ye's group of eight people were admitted to Beijing, Cui Aiguo became absent-minded and said several times that he wanted to repeat the year and try again next year to get into a good school.
But his father Cui Zhixian was a man of his own ideas. He ignored his son's opinion and told him to report to school as soon as possible.
Who can guarantee that you can pass the exam next year? A junior college is good enough. Do you think you can make Old Huai appear in your dreams?
As a result, today, Li Mingyue sent her son to catch the train, but Cui Aiguo was missing.
"Don't worry, sister. Aiguo must have left in anger. He has nowhere to go, so he will definitely return to Qingshui County. Let's go to the bus station to look for him."
Li Kaijian rode his bike back to the bus station with Li Mingyue, and after getting off the bus, they went their separate ways to look for her.
After a while, Li Kaijian really found it.
Cui Aiguo sat in a corner of the bus station, his eyes blankly in thought, muttering to himself.
"Why not? I clearly reported him. Why hasn't he been arrested?"
"No one in the whole county can do that math test, but eight of them can do it. Isn't that evidence?"
"What happened? Two letters of denunciation didn't work. Why didn't I write three? How did he become the number one in the province?"
“.”
Cui Aiguo was absent-minded, muttering to himself, and suddenly he felt that there was a face in front of him.
"Have you reported Li Ye?"
"Uh uh."
Cui Aiguo's pupils instantly focused and he could see clearly the face half a meter away, as well as the big slap coming towards him.
"Pah~"
