Two hundred becomes four hundred and six?

Can you make two and a half days of money in one day?

The old man selling box lunches was immediately greedy. He lifted up his trousers with a silly smile and squatted down next to John Qin. The smell of oil and smoke mixed with body fragrance hit his face, making John Qin feel a little heady.

However, John Qin didn't say anything, he just moved to the side and put the cigarette that the uncle handed over to his ear.

The way he looks now, he doesn't look like a high school graduate at all, but like an old man who dropped out of school to make a living.

"Man, can you tell me the address where you sell lunch boxes?"

John Qin seemed to have expected it, and he raised two fingers very skillfully: "Uncle, give me two hundred yuan, and I will tell you the address."

The uncle's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he was as shrewd as lightning: "Two hundred yuan? I can barely earn two hundred yuan after working here for one day!"

"Can't you make four hundred by changing your address?"

"Then tell me first, let me estimate whether it's worth it." The old man selling box lunches was a little hesitant. Two hundred yuan is not a small amount.

"We just went to the Internet cafe street."

"The east end of Xinghai Road?"

"right."

"I thought it was a good place. The business there is really good, but the city management inspections are too strict. I went there once and my car was confiscated. I still can't come back."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Just give me two hundred yuan and I'll continue. If you feel it's inappropriate, I'll give it back to you. I'm still a student, so I won't cheat you, right?" John Qin's voice It's full of temptation.

The lunch seller hesitated for a long time, then took out two hundred yuan from his pocket: "Tell me, if it's not worth it, I want my money back."

John Qin rolled up the two hundred and stuffed it into his pocket: "There is a foot-washing city called Shuiyunjian on that street. There is a big courtyard inside when you enter from the door. The fire escapes of seven Internet cafes all lead directly to that courtyard. Also, look The old man at the gate likes to smoke in Hongtashan, and the most important thing is that there is no urban management there."

"What does the old janitor do? He dares to let me in and sell lunch boxes?"

John Qin smiled calmly: "He is the real father of Shui Yunjian's boss. He is the gatekeeper because he feels uncomfortable being idle at home."

The box lunch seller thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly said with joy on his face: "Come on, man, I won't charge you for eating box lunch next time."

"It's easy to talk about."

"You have figured out the Foot Washing City at a young age. You will have a lot to do in the future!"

John Qin cupped his hands and raised his fists: "Thank you!"

Guo Zihang next to him was stunned for a long time, and he grabbed John Qin tremblingly, his eyes full of envy: "Lao John, have you already been to a magical place like the Foot Washing City?"

"It's just the only way for a man to go."

"ah?"

"Okay, stop it. I made some money today. I'll treat you to something good."

John Qin stood up, patted his butt, and walked along the main road with more than 700 yuan in his arms.

Looking at his retreating figure, Guo Zihang was slightly startled, feeling that his friend seemed to have a sense of maturity that had gone through many vicissitudes of life.

He was like the kind of person in the TV series who has seen through life. Although his face was still laughing and cursing, his eyes were very deep and sharp, as if he could see through the essence of things.

They had worked so hard just now and had been running all morning. They had only sold more than three hundred dollars, and the profit was not enough to buy cigarettes. But when John Qin opened his mouth, he dared to say that he had made four hundred and sixty.

The most important thing is that the man who sells box lunches has a shrewd look on his face. In the end, he was really fooled and he just bought an address for 200 yuan.

Being able to talk to adults without showing timidity is something Guo Zihang cannot do. When he helps his mother buy groceries, he doesn't even dare to bargain.

No wonder he doesn't even care if his confession fails.

People in the class thought he was just faking it, thinking that he just wanted to leave some pitiful and pathetic dignity for himself, but at this moment Guo Zihang began to believe John Qin. He might really not take this matter to heart.

But when Chu Siqi was mentioned, Guo Zihang's gossip soul began to burn brightly again.

"Lao John, how are things going between you and Goddess Chu?"

John Qin turned to look at him: "What can happen between me and her?"

"You've been in love with her for three years, and it's over like this? She said she would consider it when she goes to college!" Guo Zihang kept asking. He really didn't understand. He obviously went to college after the summer vacation, so why not give up now? ah.

"She said university is just a university? I don't want to wait any longer. If a pretty girl is reliable, then pigs will climb trees."

John Qin spoke expressionlessly, his words full of mockery of love.

Falling in love will delay making money, and being a dog licker will delay life. The bloody lessons of the past life are enough to prove this point of view. Women will only affect the speed of making money, and are useless other than that.

He has experienced the pain of secret love in adolescence and the horror of a 300,000-dollar gift. It's not that he has no interest in women, but he just feels that he should distinguish priorities in life again.

"But...this is all your guess. Maybe Chu Siqi really plans to fall in love with you as soon as she goes to college. Don't you feel a loss if you give up now?"

"Lao Guo, once a man has this idea, it's basically like putting a wall behind him. It's like this whether it's love or work. If it's not in your hands, don't believe it even if others say so."

John Qin's eyes deepened a little, and he suddenly remembered the promise he had received when he first joined the company.

Dividends from projects, company shares, foreign travel, and living allowances for immediate family members are the same as Chu Siqi saying, "If you work harder, I will fall in love with you." They are all legends that everyone knows but has never seen. .

If she had hope in legendary things, she might as well believe in the light.

When he thought about this, John Qin couldn't help but think of Diga. He was a cosmic hero, but he was just a damn old man.

Back then, he borrowed his light and was able to sneak away while fighting Gatanjie. As a result, his future became dark, and this guy didn't even mention returning his light.

Don't be a licker in anything, don't be a social beast in anything, and work hard to make money. This is the right path in life.

At the same time, Guo Zihang suddenly began to scratch his head rapidly and hissed in his mouth.

John Qin felt strange and couldn't help but stare at him for a few times.

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you wash your hair when you went out?"

"No, I feel like after listening to what you said, a brain will grow in my head."


At four o'clock in the afternoon, John Qin and Guo Zihang walked out of the restaurant, already full of wine and food.

However, Guo Zihang still couldn't forget places like the bar, and wanted to ask John Qin to take him to experience it, but before they could take a few steps, two familiar figures appeared in front of them.

One is Wang Huiru, the math class representative in the class, and the other is Chu Siqi, the class beauty.

Two girls were coming out of the pedestrian street arm in arm, one holding a starch sausage and the other holding a candied haws.

The hot weather in summer made them sweat a little, and even the hair on their foreheads was wet, and their little faces were extremely pink from the heat. Coupled with their rapid breathing, their chests, which had grown to the beginning of their size, were constantly rising and falling. With.

Wang Huiru is very pretty and looks like Xiaojiabiyu. She has two pear dimples when she smiles. She is wearing overalls and is youthful and lively. If you look at her alone, she can be regarded as a beauty, but walking with Chu Siqi is nothing. Advantage.

Chu Siqi was wearing a long beige dress today, with the skirt hanging down to her knees. Her eyes were smart and bright, her facial features were exquisite, her red lips were full, and her skin tone was as good as snow. She seemed to be reflecting Wang Huiru next to her.

As soon as the four people met, the first person to react was Wang Huiru, who kept her eyes forward. She immediately raised her hand and said hello.

"John Qin, Guo Zihang, why are you here?"

Hearing someone calling him, John Qin subconsciously looked up, and his eyes accidentally crossed with Chu Siqi's in the bustling crowd.

Then he stopped smiling and turned his head indifferently.

Perhaps because of the memory of his past life, John Qin always has a God's perspective when looking at interpersonal relationships, so he really doesn't like Chu Siqi.

But his nearly forty-year-old soul has given him enough maturity and stability to prevent him from turning around and leaving, but it is limited to this extent.
