Chapter 52 [52] Meet Mr. Shen again.
Li Mu sneered evilly and looked at Zhao Shun: "I will kill you."
Tang Yuanyuan's palm flexed and tightened, grabbing his arm and glaring at Zhao Shun: "You are dead, run!"
Zhao Shun finally reacted and started running, putting the five hundred yuan into his pocket.
Tang Yuanyuan held Li Mu's arm with both hands to stop him from chasing: "Stop chasing."
Li Mu puffed up his cheeks, very unhappy: "Tang Yuanyuan, you actually stand on his side?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I didn't support him."
"I stand with you."
Li Mu: "You're lying. You gave him money and let him go."
Tang Yuanyuan: "He's only 15. Even if he's sent to the police station, he won't be detained for more than a few days and will be released soon."
"I'm afraid he'll come out and take revenge on me."
Li Mu snorted coldly, puffed up his cheeks, said nothing, but did not try to break free from her arms.
Tang Yuanyuan continued, "We are the same kind of people. I won't talk about revenge. I'll forgive you when I can."
"Zhao Shun has no education, and no age. If he goes out, he can only work illegally, barely enough to make ends meet. He might not even be able to find a wife in the future. He's definitely no match for you."
"If we meet again, I'm sure you'll be driving a Santana with a cell phone in your hand, while he'll be riding a bicycle in the hot sun, his jealousy for you overflowing like a surging river."
Li Mu: "My current goal is no longer a Santana, I want to drive a Mercedes-Benz."
At this moment, Zhao Shun had already run away, and it was useless for Li Mu to chase him.
Tang Yuanyuan let go of his arm and went to pull Yu Fangfang away: "I wish you can realize your dream soon."
Li Mu: "...Alas, Tang Yuanyuan, I haven't heard enough."
"Alas, Tang Yuanyuan, you are a big liar. I think you just feel sorry for Zhao Shun. Now that the talent has left, you ignore me."
Seeing Li Mu puffing his cheeks unhappily, his good brother Zheng Jun said: "Li Mu, you are like this, as if you are angry with your wife and want her to pay attention to you."
Li Mu kicked him: "I don't even have a wife, what are you talking about!"
Zheng Jun: "I'm talking about Tang Yuanyuan. You seem to treat her like your wife. You can coax her into submission with just a few words. If I don't coax her, you won't be happy."
Li Mu: "Get lost. Tang Yuanyuan is so tough, how can I possibly marry her?"
"I like gentleness, understand?"
"I was angry, you know what?"
Even his brothers didn't want him, yet Tang Yuanyuan still dared to show mercy to Zhao Shun.
It made him so angry.
She should just vent her anger on herself.
snort!
He would ignore Tang Yuanyuan for a week to let her know how angry he was.
So, he pretended not to see Tang Yuanyuan every time, but found that this person was eating and studying as usual, and there was no image of his life at all.
Even more angry.
So Li Mu changed his strategy again. Every time he would deliberately walk in front of Tang Yuanyuan. When Tang Yuanyuan asked him what was the matter, he would say nothing, snort coldly, and then leave without saying anything.
Sometimes when passing by his classroom, he would snort coldly at Tang Yuanyuan, then turn around and walk away.
Tang Yuanyuan: “…” What’s wrong with this guy?
Yu Fangfang rested her chin on her face: "You two, are you really not in a relationship?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "No."
Yu Fangfang: "But, he seems very nervous about you."
Tang Yuanyuan: "He's afraid of losing his business if he doesn't have a partner."
"snort."
"snort."
Yu Fangfang imitated Li Mu's cold snort: "Whose partner is like this?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "You don't understand. He thinks that since we are partners, we should share the same hatred and enemies. He is angry that I let Zhao Shun get away."
If Zhao Shun really goes to the Public Security Bureau, it will be even more difficult for him to turn back, and he will fight with Li Mu to the death, which is not a good thing.
Letting him leave Yucheng is the most appropriate option.
"We're both more interested in making money than in relationships, so don't overthink it."
Yu Fangfang propped up her chin and said, "Tang Yuanyuan, among all of us classmates, you have to make money if none of us can."
"You will definitely become a big boss in the future."
Tang Yuanyuan didn’t know whether she could become a big boss. She only knew that she had to prepare to go to Shanghai and earn back the money she had used to buy a house.
I went to buy some delicious food two days in advance to buy the train ticket to Shanghai, and set off directly on the night of the holiday.
There were usually enough people on the train, and it was even more crowded during the National Day holiday. Fortunately, the two of them had booked sleeper berths, but there were many women with children on the train, and the constant sounds of children crying, quarreling, and chatting were still very noisy. In addition, many people who did not buy seat tickets knew that the space was more spacious here, so they ran over to lie down. The ground was full of people squatting, and in this case, going to the toilet became a very difficult thing. Tang Yuanyuan had to try not to drink water.
"Little girl, my child is sick. Can I sit on your bed and rest for a while?"
A middle-aged woman with a towel tied on her head was smiling. The little boy who was pinched under the armpit by her was about five or six years old. He looked at her with a pair of innocent and clear big eyes.
"Sister, I feel so uncomfortable, please let me sit for a while."
So smart.
Tang Yuanyuan said with a cold face: "No."
The woman wailed, "You little girl, how can you be so unsympathetic? Or do you look down on us country folk?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "I am also a patient. If your child sits over here, he will be infected."
The woman saw Tang Yuanyuan's rosy complexion and white teeth, and she didn't look sick at all. "You are such a liar. You look fine, how can you be sick? I think you just look down on us country people and don't want my child to sit on the bench."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Since you know, stop talking nonsense and go find someone else to mourn. I won't fall for your tricks."
The woman wailed, "City people are so precious. We country people are looked down upon everywhere we go."
The man opposite stood up from the bed, stepped over, stood in front of Tang Yuanyuan's bed, and said angrily: "What's so expensive? You are just a city person.
"Stay away from her," Li Mu jumped down from the upper bunk and stood in front of the man. "Why, you want to fight?"
Li Mu had an evil smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was the type who often fought.
And pushed him back step by step.
The man swallowed and said, "Who wants to fight? It's that woman. She looks down on us country folk."
Li Mu: "It's so simple. If you like him, you can just take him in. No one will object to you adopting him as your son."
Man: "Hey, young man, how can you talk like that?"
Li Mu: "That's what I said, whether you want to listen or not."
Seeing Li Mu's rogue behavior, the man immediately stopped wanting to cause trouble. "Forget it, forget it. I won't bother with a kid like you."
"Auntie, please put your son on my bed."
"Humph, I'm from the countryside too, there's nothing to be ashamed of. My dad taught me since I was a kid to be a good person. Everyone has difficulties when they go out, and it's only right for everyone to lend a hand."
Woman: "There are still many good people in the world, unlike some people who despise the poor and love the rich."
Li Mu: "Who are you talking about? Do you believe I will break your son's arm?"
"I just broke one a few days ago. The sound of a broken elbow is so crisp. I want you to hear it too."
This guy is simply the village scoundrel.
How can you be so shameless?
The woman shut her mouth in disappointment.
Li Mu pinched his waist, turned around, and said with a bully look: "Hey, I like your bed, take your bag and roll up."
Tang Yuanyuan pursed her lips, got up from the bed, picked up the package and climbed onto the upper bed.
The little boy started playing on the bed of the man opposite, then asked for food, and then he slept directly on the bed.
Li Mu was closing his eyes to rest when he felt his pants rustling. He opened his eyes and saw the little kid on the bed opposite him holding a small wooden gun and playing with his pants leg with the gun tip.
"Who asked you to come here? Didn't I tell you that I hate children?"
Li Mu sat up and pulled the child's arm hard, and the child started crying loudly.
The woman rushed over, and Li Mu pushed the child back and said, "If you dare to come over here again next time, don't blame me for breaking your arm."
The child wiped his tears and cried. Several people couldn't bear to see him cry. They hugged him, comforted him, and even gave him candies.
Later, when the mother and son got off the train, all the money on the three adults who had held them was gone.
The man opposite was the worst off. He had been working outside and had saved all the money for three years.
This is the money he needs to go home and marry a wife.
He glared at Li Mu and asked, "Why wasn't your money stolen?"
Li Mu: "You are the one who wants to hug me out of kindness, what does it have to do with me?"
The man suddenly became very clever: "You did it on purpose. It's all because of you that I took in that child, and that's why my money was stolen."
"You must be in the same group!"
"Give me back my money."
Li Mu: "If you are even slightly satisfied, you should still remember that it was you who first asked others to take the child in and stood up for the mother and child. Didn't you look very impressive just now? Isn't it nice to say that you are a good person, baby?"
"You've had your fun, and now you want to drag me down with you?"
The man lost his money and now his mind is full of trying to recover his losses and encourage the other two people who also lost money.
"They must be in cahoots. This is our hard-earned money. We can't just throw it away. We have to get it back. He must have some money on him."
The three of them rushed towards Li Mu together, and Tang Yuanyuan immediately jumped down from the upper bunk to help fight.
"You are committing robbery now and will go to jail, do you know that?"
Unfortunately, for the poor, money is life.
At this time, no one knew what to do.
The space in the car was small to begin with, and with three grown men pressing down on him, Li Mu was at a disadvantage and had no chance to use his fists and feet. Seeing that the passbook that Li Mu had hidden in his chest was being pulled out, Tang Yuanyuan didn't hesitate at all. She picked up the wine bottle on the table and smashed it on the man's head.
In an instant, the other party's head was bleeding.
Tang Yuanyuan took the passbook back and asked, "Are you awake?"
"Now that you're awake, follow me to the police station and let the police verify our student status."
Tang Yuanyuan held the half-broken glass bottle and pointed it at the other two people:
"Robbed students, you think losing money is not enough, you also want to be shot and put in jail?"
No one dared to move under the impact of the sharp glass shards, and all three of them calmed down for a moment.
The man whose head was cut open was not afraid at all. He believed that Li Mu was the thief, otherwise how could there be 9,000 yuan in his passbook?
You know, he worked for three years and lived frugally, but he only saved 1,200 yuan.
This money was enough for him to return to his hometown, marry a decent wife, and hold a decent banquet.
He sneered: "Go ahead, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"You're a thief, and I don't believe the police won't help me get my money back."
Then he said to the other three men, "Do you know that there is 9,000 yuan in his passbook?"
The eyes of the other two people who had just calmed down became red again.
Nine thousand yuan!
None of them had ever seen so much money.
How could a little kid have so much money? He must be a thief.
Being a thief is still a way to make money quickly. They work hard all year round and can only save four or five hundred yuan, so they live a rich life.
The man's words "nine thousand yuan" were like water bursting into a frying pan, causing everyone to boil.
"I thought, you look down on country folk so much, but you're actually a thief yourself."
"No wonder there are so many thieves on the train. Being a thief is really lucrative."
A group of people were talking at once, some were envious, some were condemning, but their eyes were all filled with desire for money. With their eyes wide open, Tang Yuanyuan and Li Mu were watched all the way to the flight attendant room.
Flight attendant: “…” It’s these two people again.
"I think you three have misunderstood. I know these two students, and they are indeed doing business. It's not surprising to see this amount in their bankbook."
The man didn't believe it: "People say the police are evil and are in cahoots with thieves. I didn't expect it to be true. No wonder stealing is so easy."
Tang Yuanyuan didn't want to argue with them, so she followed the procedure and reported her school address, name, and the address of her clothing store with Li Mu. Then she called the local Industrial and Commercial Bureau and found that everything matched.
The three men were all in disbelief. If he wasn't a thief, how could a 15-year-old child have so much money?
Are the police really covering for them?
"Maybe it's a den of thieves. Whose child, a teenager, is both studying and running a shop? This is too absurd, it's impossible."
Tang Yuanyuan sneered: "Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean we don't have the ability."
She took out her receipt from the mall and said, "Open your eyes and look carefully. This is my purchase list. Nine thousand is nothing. It's not even enough for me to make one purchase."
The three men were speechless.
Tang Yuanyuan said, "Comrade police, they have finished their complaints, now it's my turn."
"The three of them conspired to commit robbery. We have witnesses and evidence. Please treat this as robbery. We will not accept any compromise. If necessary, I can contact a lawyer to intervene in this case."
Three people: "..."
They were wrong.
These two people are definitely not children from ordinary families. Even my own children of this age can't even say a word in front of the police.
The conductor couldn't say anything more and could only follow the procedure.
Tang Yuanyuan and Li Mu were asked to stay here and wait for the train to arrive, and the two naturally had no objection.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Thank you so much."
The conductor looked around and whispered, "Is it easy to get into this business?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "..."
The young conductor smiled sheepishly, "It's not that my future father-in-law always complains that my salary is too low and I'm not home all day, so it's not enough to marry his daughter. At the same time, there are also people who quit their jobs to start their own business. They seem to be making good money. I'm thinking about quitting my job and going into the business world too."
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't make a decision for him: "You decide for yourself. Anyway, I think doing business is more profitable."
The flight attendant also knew that matters like going into the sea were matters that only he could decide for himself, and no one else could make the decision for him, so he did not make it difficult for Tang Yuanyuan.
The buses in Shanghai were even more crowded at this time. When Tang Yuanyuan and Li Mu failed to get on the bus the first time, they knew that no matter how many buses they waited for, they would not be able to get on, so they chose to take a taxi to the wholesale market.
Now that they have a clear understanding of the entire area, the two of them will separate and take their own goods.
During this month, the store has ordered five or six rhinestone clips. Tang Yuanyuan plans to take about thirty more this time, and dozens of sets of cosmetics. These are quantities that have been planned long ago. Instead of rushing to get them, she goes to the wholesale market first.
She saw some hair braiding clips and bought some. She also saw a small blackboard saying that plastic electronic watches had arrived, so she went in out of curiosity and actually found some treasures.
Unlike leather watches that cost two or three hundred yuan, this watch only costs three yuan to purchase, and the appearance of the electronic watch has the same texture as plastic sandals.
"I don't know what time it is. As soon as it gets light I have to get up and work."
Adults definitely won't carry this thing; it feels too cheap.
Tang Yuanyuan felt that the items were suitable for students, as they were light and easy to carry, so she bought 500 of them without any hesitation.
After getting these, I went to buy some cheap lipsticks and cosmetics.
By the time the goods were picked up, Li Mu had already picked up his watch. He was waiting at the gate with a sack on his back and eating red bean popsicles. He saw Tang Yuanyuan coming out with two large sacks on his back. He stuffed the remaining half of the popsicle into his mouth, and reached out to take a sack and put it on his back.
"What did you get into that's so light?"
"watch."
"Ah? Tang Yuanyuan, you won't give me a way out?"
"It's an electronic watch, a plastic watch that costs 3 yuan. It's of very poor quality. You can tell from looking at it. It's for students. It has nothing to do with your business. If you want to sell it, I'll give you half."
"You should have told me earlier. You almost scared me to death."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Don't you know how horrible your selling is!"
He thought his watch business was doomed, but once he designed the business card, his watch business started to open up. People brought more people, and his watches were sold out before the Mid-Autumn Festival was over.
At that time, he realized that competing with Tang Yuanyuan was a dead end.
Fortunately, he was wise and brave enough to decide to sell men's and children's clothing.
Otherwise, the store might die on the beach before it even opens.
Li Mu only needed one watch, and he got the goods very quickly. Tang Yuanyuan had to go to a big shopping mall tomorrow, so she had to stay overnight and could only leave tomorrow.
Tang Yuanyuan said to the front desk, "Two rooms required."
Li Mu: "Why do you need two rooms? Isn't one standard room enough? It has two beds anyway."
Tang Yuanyuan: "We are of different genders, and now that we have the conditions, we should open two rooms. We can live in separate rooms from now on."
Li Mu puffed up his cheeks: "You have too much money to burn, but you are so tough, more like a brother to me than a brother."
Tang Yuanyuan was too lazy to argue with him. How thick-skinned was this guy?
She slept in the same room with him and was too embarrassed to take a shower. She could only dress warmly and cover herself with a blanket.
Of course it's convenient for him as a man. He can wear big shorts and a tight sweatshirt and go out, but she can't.
When Tang Yuanyuan entered the room, the first thing she did was to take a comfortable bath and wash her hair.
Just wear an old shirt, no underwear, and go barefoot.
It was the first time that Tang Yuanyuan realized that a person’s house could be so comfortable!
No wonder rich people like to buy commercial housing. When she goes back, she can live like this every day.
Humming a song, relaxing in bed and watching TV.
The TV stations in Shanghai have more content than those in Yucheng.
There was a knock on the door. It was Li Mu.
Tang Yuanyuan had no choice but to endure the heat and put on her pants again, adding a pair of underwear inside.
Li Mu: "What are you doing? Taking you so long?"
Tang Yuanyuan: "Falling asleep, what's the matter?"
Li Mu: "Tang Yuanyuan, you don't even think before you lie. The TV is on."
Tang Yuanyuan: "I was watching TV and I was sleepy. Why didn't you stay in your room? What's going on?"
Li Mu: "Let me take a look at the electronic watch."
Tang Yuanyuan pointed at the sack and Li Mu went to open it. It was indeed cheap and something that students could afford, so it should sell quickly.
Li Mu sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Tang Yuanyuan: "Go back to your room. I want to sleep."
Li Mu: "It's only eight o'clock, why are you sleeping? I've only been sitting down for five minutes, why are you chasing me away? Let's watch TV together."
Tang Yuanyuan: "Don't you have a TV in your room?"
Li Mu: "It's so boring to be alone. There's no one to discuss the plot with."
Tang Yuanyuan simply grabbed his arm and threw him out. After such a short while, he was sweating again. It was still more comfortable to have bare legs.
Li Mu asked through the door: "Hey, Tang Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you still pinching me?"
Tang Yuanyuan rubbed his temples speechlessly, "Go back to sleep."
Tang Yuanyuan slept comfortably until dawn. Since the train was the next morning, she was not in a hurry to pick up the goods today, so she left the goods at the hotel and the two of them went out for a stroll together.
Shanghai's economy is developed, and people's thinking and eating habits are very different from those in Yucheng. Many things gave her something to think about. It was not until after lunch that she took a taxi to the mall to pick up high-end goods.
Go get the rhinestone clips first. The store manager of the Swarovski crystal clips already knew Tang Yuanyuan. As soon as he saw her coming, he personally went to greet her and took her to the VIP area.
"Ms. Tang, how many are you planning to take this time?"
Tang Yuanyuan was surprised: "You still remember me?"
"Of course, you are our guest of honor, of course I remember you."
Tang Yuanyuan looked down at her clothes. She was wearing grey homespun trousers and a blue long-sleeved jacket that was washed out. She looked completely different from the fashionable ladies in the store. It wasn't that she wanted to look shabby, but the train was too unsafe, so the more low-key the better.
These days, the streets of Shanghai are not very safe, and there are many motorcycle gangs.
This outfit suits her best. If she carries a sack, she will look like one of the poor people struggling to make a living, and no biker gang will think of robbing her.
Of course, the downside to dressing like this is that when you first enter a mall, the security guards will say, "You're going to get a cleaning job through the back door."
She almost didn't get in.
The same thing happened when I went to a cosmetics store. The staff were very dismissive at first.
Tang Yuanyuan then noticed that from the very beginning, this rhinestone shop had never looked down on her, and always had that decent smile on its face. Last time, she just casually mentioned her last name as Tang, and the store manager remembered it.
It feels very comfortable.
Tang Yuanyuan: "I plan to take about thirty this time, and I want something affordable."
"Okay, take a look at these."
The store manager had just taken out a few rhinestones when suddenly, a sharp female scream was heard.
"Cao Xingwang, you deserve me!"
"Who is this woman?"
"You want to divorce me just because of her, right?"
A fat and unkempt woman grabbed the young woman next to the man and started beating her. The man protected the young woman, pushed the fat woman to the ground, and told her to stop making trouble.
Of course the fat woman was unwilling to give up, so she stood up and pounced on the young woman again. This time the man got angry and started fighting with the fat woman.
The energy that the fat woman had in beating the mistress just now seemed to have disappeared. She twisted her neck and let the man beat her, and just cried.
When the man was about to slap the woman again, a hand grabbed the man's wrist.
"Sir, this is someone else's shop. It's inappropriate to beat your wife here, right?"
The man turned his head and saw that the little girl holding his hand was dressed very poorly, but her hands were very strong.
His eyes were cold.
This kind of look actually made him feel suffocated.
The man immediately suppressed the anger on his face and said, "It's not that I have to hit her, it's just that she is too vulgar and hits people right away."
Then he glared at the fat woman on the ground and said, "You are a shrew. I won't talk to you."
"Let's go."
The man took the young woman away. The high-end box containing the rhinestones was torn into pieces during the argument. The rhinestone clip was taken away by the woman, and the bill fell to the ground.
The fat woman picked it up and saw that it was 2888 yuan!
She was so angry that she couldn't catch her breath. After holding it in for a while, she squatted on the ground and cried loudly without any image. She pulled Tang Yuanyuan's arm and said, "Little girl, you don't know, for so many years, I have been frugal and worked hard to raise two children. I didn't want to spend a penny more. He said it was nice, bought a card for his mistress for several thousand yuan, and even wanted to divorce me. Wuwuwu, he has no conscience and is unreasonable."
"I don't want to live anymore!"
Tang Yuanyuan withdrew her hand. She felt that it was true that the woman was pitiful and also true that she was not ambitious enough.
The man's leather shoes and bags were shiny, and he was obviously a businessman. I don't understand why she had to live frugally when the man could make money?
Her husband is about to divorce her, but she is still crying over a problem.
Isn’t the point to find a way to get wealth?
The store manager and the clerk tried their best to persuade her to get up and sort herself out. It seemed like there was something wrong with her ears, and she kept crying about her grievances.
It all came down to the same old story. The man was poor before, and all the money was earned penny by penny by her selling buns. He used her hard-earned money to do business, and now he looks down on her after he made money.
Chen Shimei can be seen everywhere, and there has never been a shortage of unfaithful men from ancient times to the present.
If a person doesn't want to save herself, no matter how good the method you give her is, it will be useless.
The store manager broke out in a cold sweat because she saw Mr. Shen, who was inspecting the store, standing at the door. She didn't know how long he had been there, but the woman was still crying on the ground. The high-end jewelry store was turned into a vegetable market.
I don’t know how long I’ve been watching it.
I'm not going to lose my job today, am I?
Mr. Shen was very concerned about the employees' emergency response and had to shake the woman's arm: "Auntie, please get up. Our store still needs to be open. You really can't cry here. Can I take you out?"
Unfortunately, the woman was immersed in her sorrow and couldn't hear at all.
The man in a suit looked at his watch. It had been three minutes and the six employees in his store had not yet finished processing the matter.
Several customers in the store were already annoyed by the deafening crying.
Tang Yuanyuan saw Mr. Shen, who was dressed in a suit and tie, standing by the glass door, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
The store manager and the staff were so anxious that they started begging, "Auntie, please, please get up quickly. We still have customers in our store. If you keep squatting here, we will lose our jobs."
Tang Yuanyuan looked around the store and saw half a bottle of water in the transparent kettle on the coffee table. She tried it and found it was warm.
He picked it up and poured it on the woman's pants: "Auntie, your clothes are wet, go home and take a shower and change clothes."
The woman's pants were wet, so she had to wipe her tears, get up from the ground, and go home to change clothes.
The store returned to silence.
