Don't get married if you're reborn.

Chapter 12: Petty Gains
"Wenjie, you're destroying the house again!"

Grandma stood in the room and yelled at the ceiling.

"Grandma, it will be done soon." As the electric drill was turned off, Zeng Wenjie's voice came from above.

Most of the houses in the town are wooden houses. There is a layer of floor on the beams of the main hall. Small compartments are made in the wide areas, and miscellaneous items can be stored in inconvenient places.

Grandma shook her head helplessly, and seeing that Zeng Wenjie's destructive power did not seem to be great, she walked away.

Zeng Wenjie was lying on the floor on the second floor. He had used an electric drill to dig a hole in the wooden board, just big enough for an eyeball to fit in.

Lying on the floor and looking down, you can see the landline phone placed on the small wooden table in the room.

The landline phone at home is a bit old and has very limited functions. Apart from making and receiving calls, it has no other functions.

Moreover, this has to be done even if there are many functions. People can just press the "clear" button after making a call, and the call back function will be invalidated.

……

Zeng Xiangdong rode a motorcycle to Xinjie and found Yang Jingqi's father Yang Wei.

Yang Wei was a civil servant before, but later he went into business and accumulated some money. After returning to Baishui Town, he opened several shops.

Now, Baishui Town is in the midst of a gold rush, and he has also joined in. Relying on his stronger foundation than other bosses, he is buying up gold on a large scale.

"Uncle Zeng." Yang Jingqi greeted Zeng Xiangdong warmly when she saw him.

"Oh, Qiqi is getting more and more beautiful. No wonder my boy talks about you all the time." Zeng Xiangdong said politely.

"Really?" Yang Jingqi was stunned, then smiled shyly.

Yang Wei made tea for Zeng Xiangdong and said with a smile, "Old Zeng, what do you want to see me for?"

Zeng Xiangdong said: "Boss Yang, I am here to deliver the goods to you."

Yang Wei was startled, frowned, and said, "I remember you were working with Zhang Laosan, weren't you? Zhang Laosan was in charge of all the shipping matters."

Zeng Xiangdong shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm working on my own now, and I'm planning to expand my business. I'll need your continued care in the future, Boss Yang."

Hearing Zeng Xiangdong's words, Yang Jingqi couldn't help but feel a sense of pride rising in her heart——

What's so great about you, Zeng Wenjie? Your father ultimately didn't ask for my father's help? Our family is richer than yours, and my father is a town celebrity. Everyone who sees him calls him "Boss Yang." If I'm willing to be your friend, it means I think highly of you. Your ancestors should be grateful.

"Really?" Yang Wei said with a smile, "Then show me your goods?"

Zeng Xiangdong fished out the 100-gram piece of pure gold from his bosom. Yang Wei's eyes lit up and he said, "This purification technology is quite good! Let me take a look first."

If it was some raw or cooked gold of poor quality, Yang Wei would not accept it, but this piece of gold was quite large and pure, so he definitely couldn't let it go.

He first checked its authenticity, then examined the stone and its quality, and finally weighed it on a scale.

Zeng Xiangdong was smoking alongside them, and Yang Jingqi didn't get too close, just watching silently from the side.

"This is the first time for us to do business together, and we are acquaintances in town. The quality of this gold is impeccable. I will buy it at the market price. What do you think, Lao Zeng?" Yang Wei asked.

"Listen to Boss Yang." Zeng Xiangdong said with a smile on his face, even a little flattering.

Yang Jingqi looked at Zeng Xiangdong's awkward smile, and the pride in her heart rose even more.

Yang Wei went into the house, counted out a stack of money, and came out, saying, "Count it."

Zeng Xiangdong didn't say anything more. He just spit some saliva on his finger and started counting. Then he said in surprise, "Boss Yang, you gave me an extra hundred and eighty."

"One hundred and eighty, good luck on your journey! This is our first business venture, so let's just establish a good relationship. If you have good stuff like this in the future, give me a call!" Yang Wei handed over a business card and said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Yang." Zeng Xiangdong took the business card with both hands, looking respectful.

After Zeng Xiangdong left, Yang Jingqi couldn't help but ask, "Why did you give me the extra 180?"

Yang Wei patted his daughter's head and smiled, "Zeng Xiangdong is a petty profiteer. Giving him this extra 180 yuan will make him remember me well! Since he dared to break away from Zhang Laosan and go it alone, it proves that he already has connections. He might be able to produce such good stuff in the future. In the future, he will definitely consider selling his goods to me first!"

Yang Jingqi suddenly realized something and felt like she had learned something. She was greedy for small gains, so she gave him some benefits?
She was lost in thought...

Zeng Xiangdong, who was "greedy for small profits", walked out of Yang Wei's house with a sly smile. As soon as he arrived at the old street, he bought two packs of Huazi and a box of Coke at the convenience store.

……

"Son, although I don't know why you insisted on me selling it to Boss Yang, I still did it. Here, this is for you!" Zeng Xiangdong said, and all the one hundred and eighty yuan was spent on this.

"Thank you, Dad." Zeng Wenjie pocketed one bag and stuffed the other into his father's pocket. "Most of the goods Boss Yang collects are sold to a big boss in the neighboring province. We must expand our business in the future and can't always let the middlemen make a profit."

Zeng Xiangdong took out his business card, glanced at him, and said, "You mean... you want me to get the boss's contact information?"

Zeng Wenjie shook his head and said, "Businessmen are very shrewd. How could he possibly give you his contact information? I have my own way!"

Grandma walked in angrily at this time and said, "Zeng Xiangdong, your son made a hole in the floor above me today."

Zeng Xiangdong looked up and saw that there really was a hole.

Directly below the hole was an old landline phone.

This made him stunned, but he didn't say anything. He just silently took out his cell phone and showed it to Zeng Wenjie.

"I know!" Zeng Wenjie grinned.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Zeng Xiangdong didn't ask any more questions and let his brat keep it a secret.

After Zeng Wenjie discussed with his father about going to Yinziping to collect goods tomorrow, he turned around and asked for leave from his grandfather.

Grandpa's face immediately fell and he said, "How can you learn Kung Fu like this?"

Zeng Wenjie said, "Master, I will study hard, don't worry! But... why did you drink again tonight? Aren't you afraid that I will have a seizure?"

"I didn't drink!" Grandpa rolled his eyes and successfully diverted the topic.

"You swear to the great man!" Zeng Wenjie said, pointing at the portrait.

Grandpa stopped talking. Although he was a staunch materialist, he couldn't do something against his will.

What's more, it happened in front of a great man?

"Drink less, for the sake of your health." Zeng Wenjie said cautiously.

"Well, I also drink health-preserving wine." said Grandpa.

Zeng Wenjie doesn't want to complain anymore. What kind of health wine is this? Alcohol is a carcinogen. Drinking it is bad for your health!

He didn't object to his grandfather drinking, but his grandfather was addicted to alcohol. He drank too much and became ill from drinking, and passed away too early.

After staying up all night and being tired all day, Zeng Wenjie and his father went to the Baishui River to take a bath. After lying on the bed for a while, they fell drowsy.

"I've already prepared the steel wool, is there any need to fight like this?"

"Yes, Mu Qingyang is not a small rich woman, she is a wealthy woman..."

"If I don't have some capital and ability, I can't hold on to this thigh tightly!"

Zeng Wenjie thought about it and closed his eyelids.

Before he went to sleep, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he muttered something in Russian, while thinking in his mind - It's so good to be reborn!
The next morning he got up at 6:30 and ran to his grandfather's house in Xinjie to learn Russian.

This time the study time was shortened by an hour. I finished it at 8 o'clock, got a bun from my grandma, and ran back to the old street while eating it.

"Hey, why don't I ride my dad's motorcycle? That's crazy!"

After running out of breath, Zeng Wenjie finally remembered what happened and was so angry that he almost slapped himself.

Zeng Xiangdong was already waiting at the door. Seeing his son's embarrassed appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's go and collect the goods!"
