Meng Tao walked to the street, found a shared telephone booth and called the man with glasses, telling him the pick-up location. After the call, she stood on the side of the road and saw three uncles passing by on a tricycle. She stopped the three of them and asked if they wanted to transport goods. They must have come out to transport goods to make some extra money. After they agreed on the price, Meng Tao took them back to the hotel to move the goods.

When they went upstairs, the girl at the service desk was sorting things in the warehouse. She just glanced at them and then went back to continue her work.

Ten sacks were divided into three tricycles, but actually two tricycles could hold them all. However, the fruits were very fresh and juicy, so we were afraid they would be crushed.

They transported the sacks all the way to the city bus terminal. Meng Tao asked the uncle to pull over, carefully placed the sacks on the curb, paid each of them three yuan, and they left quickly.

Meng Tao waited by the sack for more than ten minutes. A small truck drove over and stopped. The man with glasses stuck his head out of the passenger seat and looked at Meng Tao uncertainly: "Um, is there a lady who asked me to come?"

Meng Tao nodded: "It's me, hurry up!"

If you are caught doing private transactions, it is illegal.

The man with glasses was stunned by Meng Tao's new look, but he recognized her by her voice. He didn't bother to think too much and immediately pushed the driver and another man to get out of the car to move the fruit. He asked Meng Tao to get in the driver's seat and he climbed to the back of the tractor to help. He kept reminding the two people who were moving the fruit: "Slow down, be careful, don't damage the things inside!"

The three of them quickly moved ten sacks, and then a strong fruity aroma wafted around. Meng Tao knew that they were randomly tasting the fruits.

About five or six minutes later, the man with glasses and the driver got in, and the other one probably stayed on the rear trailer.

The driver started the car, and the man with glasses took out a large brown paper bag and handed it to Meng Tao: "I've checked the goods, they are all very good. You can check these, the total is 5,000."

Meng Tao took a quick look. There were no counterfeit bills in this era. As long as the amount matched, it would be fine. She nodded and said, "Okay, stop the car in front and let me get off."

The man with glasses: "Um, um, what, big... little girl, do you have any more? I mean this kind of fruit?"

Meng Tao adjusted the scarf that covered half of her face and said, "I don't have it now. If I still have it in the future, I'll come to see you again."

"It's a deal! Just call that number, it's my home number. My name is Lin Xiangyang, what's yours?"

"Tao Xiaomeng."

"Okay! We're friends now, you can call me and chat anytime."

Meng Tao nodded and complained in her heart, why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Oh yes, it’s very similar to the pop-up “We are already friends, let’s chat together” when adding friends on a certain QQ…

Oh, I miss that era again.

After getting off Lin Xiangyang's car, Meng Tao took another bus and drove around the city. When she saw the city center square, she thought that she had passed by this place several times today. The square was quite large and there were iconic buildings, so she decided to get off and take a look.

After getting off the bus, Meng Tao walked step by step along the flat granite road on the left. The terrain of the square was high on the left and low on the right, so there were flat roads and stairs, but no fountains. The weather was cold, so there were few people walking. Meng Tao took a walk around and decided to go back to rest and get up early tomorrow to take the train home.

A brown paper bag of RMB has been stored in the space. Currently, her personal property is more than 6,000 yuan. She is now quite rich. She is temporarily satisfied, but it is not enough! People are greedy, but what can they do? This is their nature. Why suppress it and hide it? Just make money if you can. A gentleman loves money and makes it in a proper way. He never gets tired of it!

Meng Tao thought that her little money would accumulate more and more, and she would be able to buy property in the city in the future. She would be able to own a house and a car in the 1980s, become a wealthy woman in the 1990s, and reach a certain goal in the millennium... The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She jumped down seven or eight steps on one foot, and actually warmed herself in the cold air. She took off her scarf and waved it all the way as she ran towards the bus stop.

She didn't even notice a black car following slowly. Almost as soon as she stopped and looked in the direction of the oncoming car, the car stopped, the window was lowered, and a deep and pleasant male voice called out, "Meng Taohua!"

Meng Tao froze: Who? Following her?

Seeing clearly that it was Shen Yu, Meng Tao breathed a sigh of relief and pounded her chest a few times with her fists: "You scared me to death!"

Shen Yu: “…”

Girl, please remember that you are a woman, can you hit that place?

Ding Hao in the car: "..."

His mouth was split to his ears, but he tried hard not to make a goose sound.

Meng Tao didn't think too much at this time. She relaxed and realized something was wrong: she had put on makeup and was wearing such a bloated outfit. How did Shen Yu know it was Meng Taohua? She was clearly tricked! Thinking this, she turned around and was about to leave.

Shen Yu coughed lightly. His little fox tail was exposed. Is it too late to run now? "You were wandering around the square just now. I could tell it was you from a distance and was waiting for you to come down."

Meng Tao had no choice but to turn around: "Is it so obvious...?"

It was a pity that she covered her face, wore a hat, and put on makeup, but it was useless. People didn't even need to see her face! "Don't worry, I'm the only one who can see it. What others can't see, even Ding Hao can't."

"Are you Sun Wukong?" It's no big deal if you have golden eyes and you are everywhere.

Meng Tao was a little annoyed. She had finally made a little money and was happy, but this was really a ruined mood.

Shen Yu's lips curled slightly, and a smile flashed across his starry eyes: "Last time at the Qianjin Steel Plant, I followed you for a while. When you got carried away, you made a few moves."

Meng Tao: “…”

Your sister's actions, she didn't do anything in the square, she was just walking honestly, okay? Of course Shen Yu would not explain too much, nor could he explain it clearly. He was always very confident in his meticulous observation, but he still felt a little incredible that he could see a back figure and think it was Meng Taohua. He thought that it might be because he was thinking about Meng Taohua from time to time recently, which caused his eyes to be blurred. He came to this city on a business trip, so why would Meng Taohua come here?

He asked Ding Hao to pull over and waited until the little girl came running down the steps of the square, looking so excited and happy that her tail was almost in the air. She was exactly the same as when she jumped away from right under his nose at the Qianjin Steel Plant. He was sure that it was her.

Then she took off her scarf. No matter how she painted her neck, chin, and face, it was useless. It was her! Under Shen Yu's intimidating and seductive gaze, Meng Tao finally did not run away. She walked back obediently and got into their car.

She originally wanted to open the passenger door, but Shen Yu stretched out his arm and pulled her directly into the back seat.

In the car, Shen Yu did not ask Meng Tao why she came to Yicheng. He only told her that he and Meng Zhehan had sent her a letter, which might still be on the way. Meng Tao nodded to indicate that she had indeed not received a letter from the provincial capital. Then Shen Yu said that he didn't know what girls liked specifically, and the things he bought for her might not be to her liking.

Meng Tao was silent for a moment, and then said that everything she bought was right and she liked them all very much.

How could she say she didn't like it? Her face was painted with all the cosmetics he bought, and she made it so white. Didn't that tell him clearly that this was the effect she was after, that she just wanted to have fair skin? So people must think that she couldn't wait to eat the pearl powder!

As if to confirm what she was thinking, she heard Shen Yu chuckle.

Meng Tao sighed. She had never understood the meaning of the phrase "no way to defend oneself" so deeply.

What did she say in her reply? Don't waste money in the future, buy a bunch of useless things, take up my space! 　Come on, come on, look forward to the money flying all over the sky!
