"I'm just helping people sell some stuff. What's the matter? Are you interested?" Li Dafu deliberately waited for him to ask without finishing his words.
Shi Shichang waited for him to finish and asked, "How much money do you have on you?"
Li Dafu showed him the money in his bag and said, "I brought three thousand! Do you think it's enough?"
In the room, he opened the envelope and saw a lot of money inside, but they were all five-yuan notes. Wei Wenjie counted them and found that there were twenty of them, which was a hundred yuan.
"There's a hundred dollars in it, and I thought it was a lot!" Wei Wenjie complained to Tian Xiaolan. Seeing that he looked down on others, he only gave that little to his old classmate, and thought they had a good relationship.
"Put it back." Tian Xiaolan ordered.
Wei Wenjie put the money back in and walked to the door to see what the two people were talking about and whether it would be harmful to Tian Xiaolan.
He stood there quietly, listening carefully. The two of them were standing at the end of the corridor, and he could only vaguely hear some voices. It was the man talking, and then Director Shi nodded.
Not long after, he saw that Director Shi seemed to be talking to him quite well. He was afraid that he would be discovered if he continued to watch, so he retreated back to the room.
Before Tian Xiaolan could ask, Wei Wenjie worriedly said what he saw: "I saw that both of them had bright smiles on their faces. Xiaolan, do you think we can still win?"
"You have to trust Director Shi. He has already put pressure on us, so why would he waver?" Tian Xiaolan analyzed calmly, "When the director comes in, whisper to him how much money is in the envelope so that we can have a rough idea."
''good.''
After a few minutes, Li Dafu's eyes were curved with smiles. He felt that his brother seemed to support him in buying this store.
It would be a waste to leave this store in their hands. It would be right to give it to him.
After entering the room, Li Dafu ran to Shi Shichang's seat and sat down, looking at her with disdain, "You'd better not compete with me, I don't want you to lose too badly."
Tian Xiaolong looked at the bag he had placed on the table and said, "I have one characteristic. The more someone doesn't want me to do something, the more I'll do it. You don't need to tell me. It all depends on whether you can get it."
Now she seriously doubts where his money comes from, because the reform and opening up has just begun, and even people like the male protagonist who can seize opportunities have to continue to resell goods. She doesn't believe that he can stop doing this after making some money, and it is obvious from his expression that he has not returned home and does not want to have anything to do with his parents.
She felt that there was something strange about this matter.
"I'm going to the bathroom!" Tian Xiaolan said this and went out. When she left the house, she didn't go to the bathroom first, but went to see where Director Shi was.
Looking at the end of the corridor, he was still there as expected. Shi Shichang was wondering why Dafu had changed so much after his trip out, and he felt a lot more distant from him.
Tian Xiaolan saw him in a daze and walked over to him: "Brother, wake up, what are you thinking about? You didn't even feel me walking in front of you?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to get some fresh air this morning." Shi Shichang felt that there was no need to tell her about this, after all, it was their private matter.
"He said he had three thousand dollars, and the shop should be his."
Tian Xiaolan: "Well, he put a hundred in the red envelope he gave you."
Tian Xiaolan thought over her thoughts and said, "Did he show it to you?"
Shi Shichang recalled: "I took a look and there were indeed a lot."
Tian Xiaolan felt that he was hiding something by doing this. He only showed it to his good friend. Why would he hide it? Unless there was something he couldn't tell anyone.
Thinking about this, Tian Xiaolan felt that something was wrong and said to Shi Shichang, "I feel that there is something wrong with him. You should pay attention and don't be fooled."
No? He felt that apart from being more talkative and showing off, there was no other problem. However, Tian Xiaolan's words still stayed in his mind and were hard to forget.
"You go in first, and don't tell anyone that we've met before."
Li Dafu, who was in the room, heard footsteps coming towards him and immediately stood up and walked towards the door.
Li Dafu's eyes revealed a hint of anxiety: "Why did you come back so late?"
"I just want some fresh air."
"Why hasn't she come back yet? She fell into the toilet!" Li Dafu's tone was filled with anxiety.
Shi Shichang sensed his anxiety and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't worry, she will be back soon."
When he touched him, Li Dafu's shoulders suddenly stiffened and trembled. Shi Shichang felt that something was really wrong with him. How could an ordinary person be like that when a familiar person approached him? It was as if he was petrified.
He turned to look at the front and found that although he was trying hard to keep steady, sweat was dripping down his forehead as if he was sick.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, let's hurry up! If she doesn't want to buy it, just sell it to me!"
Not only did Shi Shichang notice that something was wrong with him, but Wei Wenjie also felt that he was a little strange. He was not showing off how much money he had before, but he changed quickly. Now he was only interested in taking over the store, feeling like he was completing a mission.
A few minutes later, Tian Xiaolan returned with wet hands. She had just thought about it. If he was so rich, why would he come back? He could easily buy a house in the city and live there. What good would it be to go back to this poor village? It didn't make sense at all! Unless he could foresee that this place would become a prosperous city in the future.
Tian Xiaolan didn't believe it was possible that everyone had a golden finger, because then everyone would be superior.
After figuring this out, she came back.
Li Dafu felt Tian Xiaolan enter the room and couldn't wait to say, "Let's get started!"
Tian Xiaolan crossed her arms and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't gathered all the money yet. Wait until I come back in the evening."
Li Dafu refused immediately: "No, I have something else to do tonight. Yes, something else."
"There's still one person who hasn't arrived yet, shouldn't we wait a while?"
The more Tian Xiaolan tested him, the more she felt that something was wrong with him. She thought that he might have ordered someone to stop them from buying the store. There was a very high probability of this happening, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that the person had agreed not to come.
Everyone in this town knew each other, and they would meet each other every day. He never thought about how to explain it, or that he was intimidated like her, so he didn't come.
Tian Xiaolan has seen it clearly. Assuming that he did it, what was his motive?
He can use this store to do business, but he is already so rich. Tian Xiaolan doesn't think he will be interested in such a small amount of money. He will have to invest more in the early stage and may not be able to get his money back. Tian Xiaolan feels that he will not do anything that has no profit.
Unless there was something she missed, Tian Xiaolan glanced at him and found that he was still wearing long sleeves in the hot weather, and he didn't think of rolling them up even though he was hot.
Unless he's hiding something.
