Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Chapter 132 Huangmao's Transformation

"Where have you been working recently?" Xue Rui asked casually.

"Officer Chen educated us and introduced us to jobs, saying that if we didn't leave, we would stay..."

Zhang Pengfei told Xue Rui what happened after he left, and also talked to him about many work matters.

After Chen Shen educated this group of people, he shaved their heads and told them that if they didn't go out to work, they would stay in Hedong and be put in jail.

The result was obvious. This group of people obediently followed Chen Shen's arrangements and went to Su City to work, and were asked not to come back before the New Year.

"Officer Chen is doing this for your own good." Xue Rui held back his laughter.

He thought that Chen Shen was indeed a seasoned veteran, as he had sent this group of unstable elements to other cities. Even if their natures did not change, it would be a headache for the Sucheng police.

Moreover, because these people have low cultural quality, they can only be sent to factories, and Chen Shen may even get an agency fee.

A good thing that kills two birds with one stone…

"Yeah." Zhang Pengfei nodded and said, "I know Officer Chen is doing this for our own good. I asked around and found out that the benefits of our factory are much better than those of other factories. You can't get in without an introduction from someone you know."

"I scared Officer Chen's daughter, and he still found a job for me." Zhang Pengfei looked guilty.

He smiled helplessly, lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

Xue Rui felt that although Zhang Pengfei had only been away for a few months, he had matured by several years.

Although Zhang Pengfei still has the unruly behavior of a young man, he generously brings the children from the same village to surf the Internet after returning to the village.

Things like the second-hand Apple phone and Furong King in my hand were probably bought to save face.

When surfing the Internet, he even turned his phone upside down on the table to show the Apple logo to others.

But Xue Rui discovered that Zhang Pengfei's spirit had become much more restrained, and had taken on a "class flavor".

With his respectable attire and a somewhat dim look in his eyes, even if Zhang Pengfei had said that he was the yellow-haired man from that day, he would not have recognized him.

"It is still society that can educate people." Xue Rui sighed.

"Brother Rui is right. I always thought I was awesome and I could do great things in the future."

"After I got out, I realized that there are too many talented people out there, and I am destined to work for others..."

Every time Zhang Pengfei went out to drink with his fellow villagers during holidays, many of them would envy him for getting a good factory with high pay.

In fact, he knew that he was nothing, just Officer Chen was kind-hearted.

The resources that flow out from between other people's fingers and are given to him are things that others want but cannot get.

The more you know about the world, the more you feel how insignificant you are.

Therefore, he has special respect for people like Xue Rui who have local businesses and connections.

Maybe the problem you can't solve is just a casual remark someone made.

Although Xue Rui is only a high school student now, he feels that Xue Rui is much more mature than him. He admires Xue Rui very much, and it is not a bad thing to be friends with Xue Rui.

Xue Rui smiled without comment.

He didn't have much exposure to the manufacturing industry, didn't know much about these industries, and had no interactions with these workers in his previous life.

People who are not in the same circle cannot get along with each other, so he just chatted with Zhang Pengfei casually, and there would probably be no chance for them to chat in the future.

However, he did hear some business opportunities. The young people in the factory were very competitive and were willing to buy Apple phones even if it meant eating dirt.

I will sell it again when I run out of money...

Xue Rui thought of how his sister had bought a new iPhone 5, and the old one was still lying in the drawer...

In the future, even old men and women will buy smartphones, and the market will be booming.

Forget about making a mobile phone brand, that is not something he can afford. Even many old companies have to give up on it because it requires too high supply chain integration capabilities.

But second-hand digital products are a good business, and he doesn't plan to be limited to games, so maybe he can try this business as well.

Firstly, it can contribute to environmental protection, and secondly...it is not affected by the overall environment.

During the economic upswing, people have strong spending power, and product replacement is fast, so second-hand recycling can make a lot of money.

During an economic downturn, people will downgrade their consumption and the second-hand market will only become more prosperous.

However, the competition in this industry is also fierce, so he decided to go back and plan it carefully...

"I'm leaving. I have to buy something for the New Year."

Xue Rui stood up and brushed the dust off his pants.

"Then I'll buy something too." Zhang Pengfei thought for a moment and followed Xue Rui's footsteps.

"What are you going to do with me? What are you planning to buy?" Xue Rui asked.

He was going to a high-end tobacco and liquor store, where a pack of cigarettes cost several hundred yuan and a bottle of wine cost thousands of yuan. That was not something Zhang Pengfei could afford.

"I don't know. This is the first time I buy New Year's goods for my family."

Zhang Pengfei scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Just buy chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, flour, grain and oil. If your dad wants to smoke, just buy a pack of Furong King cigarettes." Xue Rui said.

Just now Zhang Pengfei mentioned his family's conditions. As an ordinary rural family, it would be most appropriate for them to buy something practical.

"Should I buy something for Officer Chen..." Zhang Pengfei asked carefully.

He was very grateful to Officer Chen for introducing him to the job and wanted to give Officer Chen a gift, but he didn't know his address.

"No, he won't accept it." Xue Rui waved his hand.

He thought that Zhang Pengfei was not a bad person by nature. He was probably assimilated by that group of young people. Now he was like a different person and knew how to repay kindness.

Many Shamatte youths are like this. They are not bad by nature, but they come from ordinary families. They are confused about their lives and afraid of being bullied, so they give themselves a flashy hairstyle and color.

Just like the animals in the animal world, many animals have evolved exaggerated and useless hair just to make themselves look more powerful and scare away the natural enemies around them.

In fact, it is a means of covering up one's inferiority and weakness.

...In the end, Zhang Pengfei still followed Xue Rui like a follower, saying that he also wanted to buy cigarettes.

Xue Rui bought five or six cartons of high-end cigarettes, a few bottles of wine, and some gift boxes, spending a total of ten thousand yuan.

Xue Rui didn't even blink when swiping the card, which made Zhang Pengfei gasp.

He calculated in his mind that the money Xue Rui had just spent was enough to pay him for more than two months without eating or drinking.

"Brother Rui, who are you going to give a gift to at your age?" Zhang Pengfei asked curiously.

"Don't worry about it." Xue Rui said with a smile.

He planned to send some gifts to the head of Hua Village, and then go to visit Gu Qingshan.

It’s just that Hua Village is a little too far away, and he doesn’t know how to get there, so he thought of finding a taxi driver to take him there.

But it’s not so good now in broad daylight.

At night, someone has to take this job.

"Do you know where Huacun is?" Xue Rui asked, turning around.

"It's in our town, not too far from my home." Zhang Pengfei replied.

"Very good, it's your turn." Xue Rui gave half of the things and stuffed them into Zhang Pengfei's hand.

Xue Rui arranged for Zhang Pengfei to deliver something to Village Chief Hua, and reminded him to go after dark.

Zhang Pengfei agreed repeatedly and rejected Xue Rui's errand fee.

With the relationship with Officer Chen, Xue Rui was not afraid that his things would be stolen, and he didn't think Zhang Pengfei was that kind of person.

He didn’t go to Hua Village to give gifts during the last Mid-Autumn Festival, but he had to give gifts during the Chinese New Year.

After all, Lin Ruoxi's household registration is still in Hua Village, so she will inevitably have to deal with Village Chief Hua in the future.

As for the remaining gift boxes, cigarettes and alcohol, he wanted to go to Gu Muxue's house for a visit.

He asked the restaurant chef to make some southern specialty pastries in advance. After thinking about it, he felt that the value was not equal, so he went to the mall and bought a set of high-end skin care products as a gift for Gu Muxue's mother.

As for Gu Muxue? He didn't plan to give her anything.

While Xue Rui was in the car, he called Gu Muxue: "Muxue, is Uncle Gu at home?"

"My mother and I are shopping, so don't come." Gu Muxue said coldly.

She was a little unhappy and wondered why he asked her father right away.

"As long as Uncle Gu is at home, that's all. Just hang up like this."

"Xiao Rui, you did this on purpose!" Gu Muxue said gritting her teeth.

"I went to your house to give you a gift. What does it matter if you are there or not?"

"Well, my dad is at home, you can go."

Gu Muxue said with a smile. She thought Xue Rui was a prudent person and even knew to come and give gifts during the New Year.

She told Xue Rui in advance that she would be very busy during the New Year holidays and that she would have to visit her mother's home in Jiangnan at the beginning of the year. By the time she came back, school would probably have started.

This made her feel a little regretful. She really wanted to go out and play with Xue Rui during the winter vacation, but unfortunately there were too few school holidays.

Xue Rui came to Gu Muxue's house. The nanny at the door recognized Xue Rui and let him in.

Gu Qingshan was chatting with his friends in the living room.

"Uncle Gu, the New Year is coming soon, I want to send you and Auntie something."

Xue Rui placed the bags next to the coffee table.

“Well, put it down, you can go now.” Gu Qingshan said indifferently.

The middle-aged man looked at what Xue Rui brought and joked, "Qingshan, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You are so blatant even before I'm transferred."

"Look at this wine, it's about a thousand yuan a bottle." The man picked it up and weighed it.

Gu Qingshan smiled and said: "It's the New Year, can't I enjoy myself?"

"You must be Director Liu, right? I've heard a lot about you. I also heard Uncle Gu mention you, and I was thinking of visiting you someday." Xue Rui pretended to be surprised and walked over to shake the man's hand.

The man was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"

He knew that these polite words were all fake, but coming from a high school student, he was a little unsure...

"Who doesn't know Director Liu?" Xue Rui said with a smile.

In fact, he just analyzed this from the conversation between the two people. The way they talked to each other as peers meant that their positions must be similar.

He checked Gu Qingshan’s job information on the official website and found out that Director Liu was about to be transferred...

"You just wronged Uncle Gu. My father and Uncle Gu have been friends for decades. It's not strange for me, as his nephew, to give Uncle Gu some gifts during the New Year. I earned all this money myself."

The man smiled and said, "Qingshan, is this the guy who made games that you mentioned?"

He had heard Gu Qingshan brag at work that he had a nephew who was still in high school and had started his own company to make money.

“My childhood friend’s son is quite capable. He earned several years’ salary for both of us in just two months.” Gu Qingshan responded with a smile.

He knew that Xue Rui had paid for the gift, so he did not refuse. It felt different to receive gifts from a junior. Although Xue Rui was a bit worldly, he was still young, so he did not feel disgusted.

The only thing that made him wary was that this guy had set his sights on his daughter.

He originally wanted to scold Xue Rui first, but since there were other people around today, he couldn't get angry.

"Xiao Rui, my family is very busy during the New Year, you should go back first."

Gu Qingshan wanted to get rid of Xue Rui as soon as possible, but Xue Rui was too smart. If he asked a few more questions, the fact that he had praised Xue Rui at work would be exposed.

How could a shameless person like Xue Rui react after knowing about this?
Xue Rui was a little surprised. Gu Qingshan actually mentioned him at work?
