Gao Dongxu hung up the phone happily, and smiled at Shang Youyou, who was also woken up by the ringing of the phone, and had been listening beside him. She became extremely excited, her beautiful eyes wide open, and she was no longer sleepy at all.

"Oh my god, $2555 million? You made that much money just by going to the US? That's even crazier than robbing a bank..."

Excited and excited, Shang Youyou directly wrapped her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck, slid into his arms like a beautiful snake, and exclaimed.

"Haha, are you so excited about such a small amount of money?"

Gao Dongxu gently stroked her delicate back and looked at Shang Youyou, who was as beautiful and attractive as a fox demon walking out of a painting. Her fair and translucent skin looked even more crystal clear under the light. Her eyes were full of affection, and her blinking seemed to emit electric currents. Her charming eyes seemed to be able to captivate people.

Her whole body twisted into an S shape in his arms, her movements were enchanting, she was really charming to the core.

Shang Youyou pouted her red lips coquettishly, staring at Gao Dongxu lovingly and said coquettishly: "You are so rich and have a powerful background. Will you get tired of me one day and leave me alone?"

"Huh? Why do you think so?" Gao Dongxu frowned slightly and asked Shang Youyou.

"I just suddenly felt insecure." Shang Youyou put one side of her pretty face against Gao Dongxu's chest, listened to his heartbeat, and said softly.

Gao Dongxu gently stroked her back, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and smiled softly: "You have to have confidence in yourself. You are so beautiful, how could I bear to give you up? How could I possibly get tired of a beauty like you, don't you think?"

Hearing such sweet words, Shang Youyou's pretty face flushed brightly. She looked up at Gao Dongxu with seductive eyes and said in a trembling voice, "Really?"

"Baby, you underestimate your charm. I will never get tired of it. I want to play with you for the rest of my life." Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows and grinned, and began to touch her all over.

"Haha, you said you'd play for the rest of your life. If you dare to break your promise, I'll...haha..."

Shang Youyou smiled charmingly and threatened viciously.

"Little goblin..."

. . . . .

Around 2 a.m., Gao Dongxu hugged Shang Youyou, who fell asleep with a sweet smile again, and his consciousness was immersed in the world of the courtyard.

At this time, he was on his way to the Caishikou Trust Store. Last time, because his spiritual energy was exhausted, he was kicked out just after he finished selling Maotai liquor and Niuhuang Pills.

This time when he went to the trust store, Gao Dongxu was planning to buy a second-hand bicycle.

In this era, bicycles are definitely high-end household items and are one of the three major household items, the other two being watches and sewing machines.

The sewing machine was hidden at home, and I’m afraid no one else knew about it. I bought a sewing machine when I got married to Qin Huairu.

The watch can be seen when wearing short sleeves in summer.

Therefore, the most conspicuous thing is the bicycle, which is a symbol of material wealth. For men, the most valuable thing is also the bicycle.

Of course, Gao Dongxu wanted to buy a bicycle not to show off, but for convenience. He really couldn't stand moving around on his legs. It was too tiring.

During this period, the cheapest bicycle cost about 120 yuan, and most workers only earned more than yuan a month, which was equivalent to four months' salary.

Moreover, money alone isn't enough; you need a ticket. If there are many registered employees, you have to queue or draw lots to get a ticket. If you need a ride urgently, you can only buy tickets privately from scalpers.

The preciousness of bicycle tickets is hard to imagine for modern people. If a family has a ticket, it will spread quickly among neighbors like gossip. If a new family buys a manganese steel bicycle, it is even more explosive news. Its shocking effect is equivalent to who got divorced, who had a death in the family, and who bought a private car in the 1990s. If things go wrong, the house will become an exhibition hall for the neighborhood children for a few days.

Gao Dongxu had already thought about it. As long as he bought the second-hand bicycle, it would definitely become the focus of the entire yard, and even the entire alley. It might even attract the envy and jealousy of the three old men who didn't have bicycles yet.

However, Gao Dongxu doesn't care about these things at all. His money comes from legitimate sources, so he can buy whatever he wants. Moreover, he has a good reason to buy a bicycle because he has difficulty walking.

It took almost an hour to walk from the Tong Ren Tang main store to the Caishikou Trust Store.

I sat down on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, and took a rest while smoking. Behind me was the Caishikou Trust Store.

Trust shops, also known as consignment shops, are essentially a business that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, selling used goods. In an era of scarcity, especially when everything required coupons, people consigned their unused items to trust shops, helping to alleviate the shortage of daily necessities and meet people's daily needs.

After finishing his cigarette, Gao Dongxu stood up and walked into the store at a leisurely pace.

A strong smell of sanitary balls hit Gao Dongxu's face, making him frown. He really couldn't get used to the smell. However, there was nothing he could do because the store sold old goods from various households, so the whole place was filled with the smell of sanitary balls.

Because it was a weekday during working hours, there were not many customers in the store.

Most of the items in the store are daily necessities of ordinary people, such as old clothes, fur coats, bedding, watches, pocket watches, cameras, phonographs, clocks, etc. Whatever you want to see, you can find it in the store.

However, valuable items such as watches and cameras are all sold in closed counters. When you need to purchase products, you must ask the salesperson to take them from the shelves inside the counter and place them on the counter.

The biggest advantage of consignment shops is that they are absolutely trusted by the people, with fair transactions and a degree of integrity. Naturally, they also have many rare items. In today's terms, they are a great place to go for treasure hunting.

Gao Dongxu walked around the store. Since he was tall and handsome, and was wearing a clean short-sleeved shirt and work pants, he looked good, so he was treated with smiles by the salespeople.

After browsing the watches, clocks, and cameras, Gao Dongxu walked over to the counter dedicated to valuables. He was immediately taken aback by the array of jade bracelets, jade artifacts, and jewelry displayed in the glass cases. Glutinous jade, glutinous ice jade, ice jade, high ice jade, ice glass jade, glass jade...

Light green, apple green, blue-green, spinach green, sun green, imperial green...

Almost all kinds of jade are included. What surprised and delighted Gao Dongxu the most was that he saw a full green jade bracelet. The green color was rich and uniform, and the transparency was excellent. It really looked like green oil was about to drip down.

It can be said that this is the most beautiful jade bracelet Gao Dongxu has ever encountered.

"Comrade, can you show me that bracelet?" Gao Dongxu looked at the middle-aged male salesperson in his early forties at the counter, pointing at the full green jade bracelet and said with a smile.

The middle-aged male salesperson glanced at Gao Dongxu, walked over slowly, frowned slightly and said, "Want to buy it?"

This seems to mean that Gao Dongxu is not considered a buyer. It's nothing else, the other party looks down on him and doesn't want to "serve" Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu was not angry either. In this era, there were many people like this in state-owned stores. You can imagine how angry they were when restaurants even hung signs saying "No hitting or scolding of customers".

"I'll buy it if I see it well." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

The other person frowned slightly, looked Gao Dongxu up and down, then reluctantly opened the glass cabinet door, carefully took out the full green jade bracelet, and placed it on the counter together with the gray silk under the bracelet.

"Full green jade bracelet, price 150 yuan--" the middle-aged salesperson introduced it coldly, then looked at Gao Dongxu's face and said the price.

Gao Dongxu was a little surprised, not because he was surprised that the price was cheap, but because he was surprised that the price was a bit high.

Frowning slightly, he reached out and carefully picked up the bracelet. It was cool to the touch and surrounded by spiritual energy, which made Gao Dongxu very happy. He wanted to hold it up to see how transparent it was, but was immediately stopped.

“Can’t stay away from the counter.”

Gao Dongxu had no choice but to put the jade bracelet on the counter and observe it carefully.

"I want—"

"Huh?! What did you say?" The middle-aged male salesperson showed a hint of disdain with a bit of impatience, but immediately looked at Gao Dongxu with surprise and frowned to confirm.

"I said I want it, give me the receipt--" Gao Dongxu smiled and took out a large stack of five-yuan bills from his pocket and began to count them.

The male salesperson looked at Gao Dongxu, who was counting the money, with a bit of surprise. Then, like a Sichuan opera face-changing, he immediately smiled and said, "Comrade, please wait a moment. I'll give you the invoice right away—"

Soon, the ticket was issued and Gao Dongxu paid. The salesperson carefully wrapped the full green jadeite in the gray silk, put it in a box and handed it to Gao Dongxu.

Gao Dongxu took the box but did not leave. Instead, he continued to look at the things on the counter.

This time, the male salesperson stood aside and said with a smile: "Comrade, if there is anything else you would like to see, just tell me and I will give it to you——"

"Thank you." Gao Dongxu smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to the counter and said, "That pair of jade snuff bottles, and that pair of glass bracelets with floating flowers, three-color bracelets, and that ice bracelet with floating flowers..."

When Gao Dongxu signed up, the middle-aged salesman's eyes lit up. He looked at Gao Dongxu and said with a smile, "So you're an expert, comrade."

"I don't dare to call myself an expert, I just have some knowledge." Gao Dongxu said hurriedly and modestly.

"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you right away--" The male salesperson's attitude was better this time.

Soon, several items were placed on the counter. The male salesperson smiled and said, "These are all old items from the Qing Dynasty. The quality of the water is top-notch... They are all good things."

"Comrade, what's your name?" Gao Dongxu smiled and took each piece in his hands, feeling the icy feeling and the varying shades of spiritual energy on each piece. He looked at the male salesperson and asked with a smile.

"My last name is Wang, so you can just call me Old Wang. How about it? Which one do you like?"

"What are the prices?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"This one with ice-type floating flowers is 11 yuan, the pair of glass-type floating flowers is 30 yuan, the pair of snuff bottles is 40 yuan, and the three-color one is 25 yuan." Lao Wang quoted the price with a smile.

"I want them all. Can you give me a discount?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

Lao Wang smiled bitterly and said, "The price is clearly marked, there's no way it can be cheaper."

"Is that so..." Gao Dongxu frowned and hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said under Lao Wang's expectant gaze: "Okay, I want them all——"

"Okay, a total of 106 yuan. I'll issue you a receipt. Won't you take a look at the rest?" Lao Wang asked with an extremely happy smile.

Gao Dongxu counted the money with a wry smile, looked at Lao Wang and said, "I originally wanted to buy a second-hand bicycle, but now I have bought these, I don't know if it will be enough to buy a car."
