After half a lifetime of navigating the world, the system tells me to be a good big brother!

As usual, I'll go to the billiard hall first and tell the young man there that Lin Xia is off today.

The billiards hall he owns is open 24 hours a day.

Although not many people play billiards all night, there are still some in a county with a population of 500,000.

Why not make more money if we can? The billiards table is just sitting idle anyway.

As for the increased costs, they're not much, because the young man who works the night shift lives in the billiard hall, which saves him the money he would have spent on rent.

When he arrived at the billiards hall, it was just past eight o'clock, and there were no customers in the store except for his four employees.

The glass door with O'Sullivan and Ding Junhui's names on it was open, and four employees were cleaning with their tools.

At this time of day, the billiard hall is practically empty. Those who play all night usually leave before 7 p.m., and the hall only gets customers after 9 p.m.

He took a quick stroll around the billiard hall, checked the accounts with the staff on duty, and was busy until after nine o'clock before finally leaving the billiard hall after giving a few instructions.

I hopped on my motorcycle and headed towards my next destination. The motorcycle shop and the billiard hall weren't far apart, and I arrived in just a few minutes.

The area here is quite large. Not only is there a showroom in the front, but there is also a warehouse in the back, where some of the acquired used cars and parts are stored.

When we arrived at the motorcycle shop, it was already open, and Xiao Guo inside was busy cleaning.

He was wiping a fat car with a rag in his hand, and the way he was so serious made Li Qing want to give him a raise.

"Guo'er, everything was alright after I left yesterday, right?"

Guo, who was focused on wiping the car, only noticed Li Qing when he heard the voice and quickly got up to reply.

"Nothing much, Brother Qing. After you left yesterday, two people came to look at the bikes. They were interested in the Huanglong 600 we had acquired before."

However, they haven't decided whether to go or not, saying they need to think about it some more.

Also, Lao Niu called me, trying to get some information out of me so I could fool him.

Li Qing nodded after hearing this. Xiao Guo is indeed a reliable kid.

But when he thought of Lao Niu, he thought of the money he owed people for goods. Now that he had money, he didn't want to owe any more.

"You can say whatever you want about Lao Niu's matter, it's fine! I'll settle the bill for Lao Niu today."

"Keep a close eye on the one who wants Huanglong jade; sell it when the price is right."

After chatting with Xiao Guo for a couple more minutes, we went to the back of the exhibition hall and entered a room partitioned off from the warehouse.

I rinsed the teaware on the tea table clean and boiled water to brew myself a pot of Jasmine Silver Needle tea.

The aroma of jasmine tea filled me with a wonderful feeling, a stark contrast to my anxious state yesterday.

In a good mood, I took out my phone, found Lao Niu's number, and dialed it directly.

"Hey, Old Niu, wanna come over for tea?"

Old Niu was extremely surprised when he received his call.

Based on his understanding of Li Qing, he shouldn't have contacted him in less than a day.

But now they're actually asking him to go over for tea, which he doesn't understand at all. Then a thought pops into his head, and he starts to panic.

"Is this kid just giving up and not wanting to pay me? That can't be, can it?"

Thinking of this, Lao Niu hurriedly replied on the phone.

"Okay, okay, I'll come find you right now!"

Old Niu hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the phone without waiting for Li Qing's reaction.

Hearing the busy tone of the phone, Li Qing looked puzzled.

"What's wrong with this old ox? Was it chased by a dog? Why is it in such a hurry?"

"Timi..." Li Qing didn't take it too seriously, and while drinking tea, he picked up his phone and opened the game.

He wasn't particularly good at the game "Honor of Kings" and was often called a "noob" online.

But he just loves to play, and he doesn't understand why.

Before the game was even over, a very thin man burst in through the door.

Li Qing glanced up, then focused her attention back on her phone.

"Here comes Old Niu, you've come fast enough! Please sit down, there's some tea I just brewed in the teapot, have a sip first."

I'll finish this game of Honor of Kings quickly.

After saying that, Li Qing ignored Lao Niu and focused on playing the game.

Less than five minutes later, with the explosion of his own base, Li Qing finally put his phone aside.

Only then did he have time to look at the old ox sitting opposite him. The old ox, who was already thin, looked even thinner now sitting in his large armchair.

He took the teapot and poured tea into the old ox's cup, warmly inviting him to drink.

At the same time, Li Qing secretly activated his "Insight" skill.

Immediately afterwards, several colors appeared on the top of the old ox's head opposite.

Moreover, the colors on the old ox's head are truly diverse, including red, green, gold, and gray, with so many colors it's like a running lantern.

It also led him to discover another color – gray.

I just don't know what the gray on the old ox's head represents.

He remained calm, while Old Niu on the other side was anxious.

"Brother Qing, you didn't call me here to tell me directly that you're not going to pay me for that batch of goods, did you?"

Li Qing was taken aback. Had he said that? Why would Lao Niu say that?

"I didn't mean to refuse you!"

"I knew it. Fine, since you're not going to give it to me..."

Before Lao Niu could finish speaking, he quickly interrupted him, "What's wrong with this guy? Why can't I understand what he's saying?"

"Old Niu, I called you here today to settle the payment for the goods. When did I say I wouldn't pay you?"

Old Niu looked at Li Qing with a completely bewildered expression.

After the initial shock, he was overjoyed. The payment he had given up hope of was actually approved, which surprised him greatly.

Before Lao Niu could react, Li Qing casually took out the account book that he had prepared in advance.

Right under Lao Niu's nose, Li Qing began calculating according to the account book. After finishing all the accounts, he pushed the book back to Lao Niu.

"You do the math yourself and see if there are any mistakes in my accounting. I'll transfer the money to you once you've verified it."

A dozen minutes later, Lao Niu finished calculating and reconciled accounts with Li Qing, and soon received his transfer.

Li Qing's wallet, which had just begun to fill up, shrank by more than half immediately after he paid Lao Niu for the goods.

After paying off the debt, Li Qing felt a sense of relief, finally able to put one thing behind him.

What he didn't see was that the gray color above the old ox's head faded slightly the instant he finished transferring the money.

Li Qing failed to notice this slight change.

Having just received payment, Lao Niu felt comfortable chatting with Li Qing, and the conversation inevitably turned to business.

"Brother Qing, I have a connection that can get rid of those refurbished cars of yours. Are you interested in looking into it?"

"Is there really such a good thing?" Li Qing immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at the old ox.

He had been holding onto these used cars for quite some time, and he had even refurbished them to make them easier to sell.

Even if everything is ready and the car is ready to go out, the speed won't be too fast.

Selling cars is all about selling them one by one!
