Siheyuan: Start with a big car

What Da Kui said made a lot of sense. If Chen Xing was a young boy who knew nothing, he would have been fooled by him by now.

But Chen Xing has been working on the streets for many years, how could he be easily deceived?

"Stop talking nonsense! I know how much the yellow croaker is worth. Here, twenty yuan per piece. If you don't want to, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will buy it."

"Twenty yuan? Why don't you just go and rob? Small yellow croaker is indeed a good thing, but it would be a huge risk for me to take it!" Da Kui said with a frown.

Chen Xing turned around and left without saying a word.

He knew in his heart that it would be fruitless to continue pestering a cunning businessman like Da Kui, and Da Kui would never give in easily.

Sure enough, just after Chen Xing took a few steps, Da Kui came around and stopped him.

"Little brother, don't leave in a hurry! When discussing business, we need to discuss more.

You have so much stuff on hand. I'm probably the only one in Beijing who can eat it all.

Besides, we have some relationship. How about 18 yuan each?"

In the past, Chen Xing would definitely not agree.

But this time he knew that what Da Kui said was right. If there were only a few small yellow croakers, they could be easily sold, but for such a large batch of goods, people without some strength simply could not afford so much money.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing nodded and said, "Okay, we'll be here tomorrow night. I'll bring the yellow croaker and we'll pay for it and get the goods."

Da Kui nodded excitedly: "It's a deal!"

After Chen Xing left the black market and returned home, he told his mother every detail of the business negotiation.

"Is this Da Kui reliable?" Chen Xing's mother asked with a frown.

Chen Xing smiled and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry.

I will have my own way to deal with him tomorrow, and I guarantee that I can sell this batch of small yellow croakers smoothly. But you have to contact those people quickly, and we will set off as soon as we get the money."

The mother nodded and said, "I will contact them tomorrow."

At this time, Section Chief Li had already reported the situation to Li Weidong.

"Comrade Weidong, it looks like they're going to make a deal tomorrow night. How about we catch them all in one fell swoop?"

Li Weidong took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Section Chief Li, lit one himself, and said, "Old Li, our goal is not just this batch of gold, silver and jewelry, but to uproot the way Chen Xing and his mother escape to the south."

Section Chief Li suddenly realized and nodded quickly: "You are so far-sighted. I almost forgot about this!"

Now, those gold, silver and jewelry are trapped in a jar, and the security department of the steel rolling mill can take action at any time.

But there must be many people involved in the route to the south, and there might be enemy agents among them. Only by playing the long game and catching the big fish can we catch all these hidden dangers.

After realizing this, Section Chief Li immediately went back to make arrangements.

As it was getting dark, Li Weidong took a walk around the laboratory, made sure everything was fine, then rode his bicycle out of the steel mill humming a tune.

As soon as I arrived at the factory gate, I heard a voice calling out, "Brother Weidong, where have you been these days?"

Li Weidong turned his head and saw Zhou Xiaobai standing not far away.

Zhou Xiaobai was dressed up carefully today, wearing a light red jacket. Although his pants were old-fashioned, they were obviously tailored to fit his body.

When she walked over, her waist swayed gently, which was very charming.

Li Weidong stopped and explained with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I was on a business trip a while ago and just came back not long ago."

Zhou Xiaobai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had been worried that Li Weidong had a new girlfriend and would forget about her.

"Brother Weidong, you don't know yet, do you? I recently joined a ballet dance team as an amateur dancer. We have a performance in the theater tonight, would you like to come and watch?"

Li Weidong raised his hand to check the time, thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay! But do I have to buy a ticket first?"

"Look at what you said. How can I let you buy a ticket? Just come in with me as a family member later." Zhou Xiaobai said, his cheeks flushed and his eyes full of anticipation.

Although Li Weidong has not confirmed his relationship with Zhou Xiaobai, he has already regarded her as his other half. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "That's great! I will applaud loudly when the time comes!"

Zhou Xiaobai felt relieved and brought Li Weidong to the theater.

At this time, the girls of the ballet dance team were rehearsing backstage. When they saw Zhou Xiaobai leading a young man in, the girls immediately started talking about it.

"Is this Zhou Xiaobai's girlfriend? Look how close they are!"

"I never thought that Zhou Xiaobai has such high standards and already has a partner!"

"That's right! Look at that young man, he's handsome and wearing a Zhongshan suit, he looks elegant. I tell you, this guy must be from a prominent family!"

The girls were full of envy, but the male dancer Zhu Shuai next to them had a gloomy face.

Zhu Shuai was originally the top student in the dance team. When Zhou Xiaobai first joined, he was attracted by her beauty at first sight.

There are many beautiful girls in the dance team, but not many are as outstanding as Zhou Xiaobai. In addition, her father has a strong background. If he can marry her, his future will definitely be bright.

With this idea in mind, Zhu Shuai first dumped his ex-girlfriend and then desperately pursued Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai had no ill feelings towards him at first, but after hearing that he had abandoned his ex-girlfriend, he decided that he was a heartless man and treated him coldly.

But Zhu Shuai still persisted for the sake of his future.

"How can this pretty boy compare to me? Why does he deserve to be Zhou Xiaobai's boyfriend? I can't stand this!" Zhu Shuai looked at the intimacy between the two and felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

He wished he could rush up now and replace Li Weidong's position.

Li Weidong didn't know that the performance was about to begin, so he just found a seat and sat down.

That night, the dance team performed "White Swan". Zhou Xiaobai, as the protagonist, performed the White Swan vividly and won rounds of applause from the audience.

After the performance, the team members were going to celebrate together. Zhou Xiaobai approached the team leader a little embarrassedly and said, "Leader, I have something to do and want to leave early."

The team leader had heard that Zhou Xiaobai's girlfriend was coming to the show, and guessed that the two were going on a date, so he nodded and said, "You performed very well today, there is nothing to improve.

All right, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Zhou Xiaobai happily left the backstage. Seeing this, Zhu Shuai was so angry that his face turned blue: "This silly woman, how could she fall in love with someone else!"

He gritted his teeth, stood up and said to the team leader: "Leader, I have something else to do, I want to ask for leave and leave early."

The team leader frowned and said, "Zhu Shuai, I have to criticize you!

You've been performing poorly lately, you've been absent-minded during performances, and you haven't been active in training. I also heard that you harassed female teammates!"

The ballet dance team has a rule that male and female actors cannot fall in love. The team leader knew about Zhu Shuai's pursuit of Zhou Xiaobai a long time ago, and wanted to save his face and hope that he would correct his behavior, but he was still stubborn.

When Zhu Shuai saw that his request for leave was rejected, his face suddenly darkened: "Leader, you approved Zhou Xiaobai's leave, but not mine?
This is too unfair!" The team leader slammed the table and said, "I am the team leader. I refuse your request for leave! If you are not satisfied, don't come to work tomorrow!"

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Shuai would have given in long ago.

But when he thought about Zhou Xiaobai dating another man, he immediately became furious: "If you don't want to come, then don't come! With my ability, I can be the lead in any dance troupe. I've had enough of this!"

After saying that, Zhu Shuai left without looking back.

The team leader was so angry that he was gasping for breath, and the other team members wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to.

Zhu Shuai ran out of the theater, but did not see Zhou Xiaobai and Li Weidong.

He remembered that there was a dimly lit park near the theater, which was a frequent date spot for couples, so he hurried over.

Sure enough, he saw Zhou Xiaobai and Li Weidong sitting on a bench, cuddling together.

Zhu Shuai was immediately furious. He rushed over, pointed at Li Weidong's nose and cursed: "Where did you come from, you little hooligan! How dare you harass Zhou Xiaobai! Get out of here if you know what's best for you, or you'll be in trouble!"

Li Weidong was enjoying his time alone with his girlfriend when he was suddenly interrupted, and he felt furious.

But seeing that this man seemed to know Zhou Xiaobai, he did not attack immediately and turned to look at Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai was also startled. After seeing that it was Zhu Shuai in the dim light, he frowned and said, "Zhu Shuai, have you had enough of making trouble? I've already said that I have nothing to do with you. Don't bother me anymore!"

Zhu Shuai yelled, "Zhou Xiaobai, you were deceived by him! I am the only one in the world who truly treats you well!"

Zhou Xiaobai almost laughed out loud: "Stop talking nonsense! I have nothing to do with you, just go away!" She was reminding him kindly, after all, she knew that Li Weidong had a hot temper and was afraid that Zhu Shuai would suffer.

But Zhu Shuai mistook her retreat for fear and snorted coldly: "Zhou Xiaobai, I used to be a martial artist. Four or five people couldn't get close to me! As for him, he looks big and strong, but he is no match for me at all!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" After Li Weidong understood the whole story, he didn't take Zhu Shuai seriously at all. His time was precious, so he didn't have time to listen to this guy's nonsense.

Li Weidong stood up and clenched his fist. Zhu Shuai didn't expect him to dare to attack, so he also raised his fist and shouted: "Boy, don't blame me for not reminding you! I have practiced boxing, and my master is the Iron Fist Lao Zhang who is 'invincible in Cangzhou'! I have practiced boxing since I was a child, and I can kill a cow with one punch!

If you know what's good for you, kneel down and call me grandpa. I might be in a good mood and spare your life!"

"Still talking nonsense!" Li Weidong was impatient and threw a punch. He had already practiced the military boxing to perfection, and with the help of the system, his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people. This punch was fast and fierce.

Zhu Shuai was still bragging and was completely unprepared. By the time he reacted, the fist was already in front of him.

He hurriedly raised his arms to block, intending to counterattack after blocking, but as soon as he made contact, he knew he was too naive. With two "cracks", his arm was broken and he was knocked out by the huge force.

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned: "Brother Weidong, will he be okay?"

Li Weidong comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just an external injury.

I am saving my strength, otherwise he would have vomited blood by now."

This was the first time Zhou Xiaobai saw how powerful Li Weidong was. He looked at him with admiration in his eyes: "Brother Weidong, my parents are not at home tonight. I'm scared to be alone. Can you go home with me?"

Li Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai dated either in the warehouse or in the steel mill studio, and had long wanted to change the location. Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed.

Zhu Shuai, who was lying on the ground, had just woken up. When he heard the conversation between the two, he became anxious and angry. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again.

Li Weidong originally planned to leave, but then he felt it was inappropriate to leave Zhu Shuai here.

He walked to the theater entrance, took out a cigarette and handed it to the ticket inspector: "Comrade, I saw someone fainted in the park just now. It seems to be from the dance team. Please notify their leader."

The ticket seller took the cigarette and immediately turned around and ran to the dance team.

At this time, the dance team was still in a meeting.

After the leader heard about this, he immediately brought several team members to the small garden.

Seeing that it was Zhu Shuai lying on the ground, both the leaders and the team members felt a little unbelievable.

"Why did Zhu Shuai faint? Didn't he go home?"

"Don't worry about it. His condition doesn't look good. Let's rush him to the hospital."

Although the leader was a little angry about what Zhu Shuai had done, as long as Zhu Shuai did not leave the dance team, he would still be a member of the dance team, so the leader took a few team members to send Zhu Shuai to the hospital.

While Zhu Shuai was receiving treatment in the hospital, Li Weidong had already arrived at Zhou Xiaobai's home.

"Brother Weidong, look, this is my bed. Touch it and see if it is very warm." Zhou Xiaobai looked at Li Weidong with a flushed face.

Li Weidong chuckled and turned off the light.

Two hours later, Zhou Xiaobai, exhausted, leaned on the bed.

"Brother Weidong, your strength is getting stronger and stronger."

Li Weidong lit a cigarette and smoked it comfortably.

"Zhou Xiaobai, are you planning to stay in this amateur dance team?"

Zhou Xiaobai sighed and said, "What can I do? Although I like dancing, I have never received any professional training. Besides, I am still a nurse, so I can't join a professional dance team."

"This problem is very easy to solve. Have you heard of the Beijing Dance Troupe? I am an old friend of their captain. When the time comes, I can let you join the dance troupe as a consultant." Li Weidong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaobai sat up suddenly.

"Really? That's great!"

No wonder Zhou Xiaobai was so happy. The Beijing Dance Troupe is the largest ballet troupe in the country, with many outstanding dancers.

Most importantly, as a consultant, although Zhou Xiaobai is not yet a formal dancer, she can participate in daily training and dance performances.

This way, she can still retain her status as a nurse.

But Zhou Xiaobai soon sighed and said, "Brother Weidong, to be honest, I really don't want to be a nurse anymore."

"what happened?"

"You don't know, being a nurse is very tiring, especially when some patients' families don't understand us nurses."

Li Weidong smiled and said, "Zhou Xiaobai, nurses, like doctors, are both in the profession of saving lives and healing the wounded. If you don't have a spirit of dedication, then I can find a way to transfer you out now."

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.

"Brother Weidong, forget it. I still can't bear to give up this job."

Li Weidong smiled. He had known Zhou Xiaobai's character for a long time. Although Zhou Xiaobai usually behaved very aloof, she was actually a kind-hearted person at heart.

"Come on, I'm done with some rest." At this time, Zhou Xiaobai crawled into the bed.
