Chapter 128

Liu Shan nodded heavily: "Big Brother, rest assured, we will be extra careful."

After giving a few instructions, Cao Cao Weiguo pedaled his bicycle away.

Sun Chao was so excited he was incoherent: "Brother Shan, we’ve made it, so much, we’ve made it..."

Zhao Zhao Yuanchao touched the fresh half-side of mutton: "It’s hard to imagine!"

Liu Shan patted Zhao Zhao Yuanchao: "Zhao Yuanchao, listen to me. If you hesitate, you will suffer the consequences. If you don't want to work with us, leave now. Being half-hearted is easy to cause trouble."

Zhao Zhao Yuanchao had many thoughts and high aspirations; he wasn't happy about working so hard for Cao Cao Weiguo.

Unlike Sun Chao, whose mind was simple—just focused on making money without thinking too much.

Zhao Zhao Yuanchao said with a complex expression: "Brother Shan, I am willing to work with you."

With a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, no matter how high his aspirations were, he couldn't bear to let go.

What good are high aspirations!

Nothing is more important than a full stomach!

Even if he found a way to get a job in a factory, he wouldn't be willing to give up the extra income in front of him.

Last time the quantity was small, and his final cut was 10 Brother Yuan.

10 Brother Yuan didn't carry much weight in his heart.

But the three carts full of supplies in front of him—his cut would at least quadruple or quintuple.

That would be forty or fifty Brother Yuan!

Working as a temp in a factory, a month of hard work only earned twenty Brother Yuan.

But once this batch of goods was sold, he could earn more than two months' wages.

Even if someone chased him with a stick, he wouldn't be willing to quit.

Sun Chao asked hurriedly: "Brother Shan, where are we going tonight?"

Liu Shan thought for a moment: "Tonight we go to the Dongcheng pigeon market to get rid of the few hundred pounds of fish first."

Sun Chao said excitedly: "Great! But Brother Shan, can we keep one to have a treat?"

Liu Shan’s eyes turned cold instantly: "If you want to eat fish, buy it with money. I don't want to lose the watermelon for the sake of a sesame seed."

Sun Chao smiled sheepishly: "Understood, Brother Shan."

"Ding! Daily check-in successful!"

"Received 2 jujube trees, 3 pounds of jujube cake!"

"Cao Cao Weiguo!"

On the road, he suddenly heard someone call his name.

"Su Mei?"

Cao Cao Weiguo braked and looked unexpectedly at the girl walking over.

The girl was petite, with a round face, cute features, and a smile like a flower.

"Long time no see. Did you almost forget me?"

Su Mei revealed two small dimples when she smiled, indescribably lively and cute.

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "How could that be? I could forget anyone, but I couldn't forget you, my old classmate."

Su Mei was Cao Cao Weiguo’s high school classmate; the two sat in front of and behind each other.

Only after graduation, the two went their separate ways.

Cao Cao Weiguo entered the steel rolling mill, and Su Mei seemed to have gone to the machine repair factory in Fengcheng District.

Su Mei walked to Cao Cao Weiguo’s side: "Are you still working at the steel rolling mill?"

Cao Cao Weiguo nodded: "Mm, still there. How about you?"

Su Mei said happily: "I’m going to the parts factory next to your factory the day after tomorrow. I can come find you to play often in the future."

At this moment, a young man walked over with an ugly expression: "Su Mei, what is there to play with this blockhead?"

The young man was named Liu Liu Huaien, also Cao Cao Weiguo’s high school classmate.

He had always liked Su Mei, but Su Mei never gave him a good look.

Now seeing Su Mei treat Cao Cao Weiguo so enthusiastically, he felt very unhappy.

Su Mei said unhappily: "I want to play with Cao Cao Weiguo. What does that have to do with you?"

Dongcheng District

On the street, Su Mei invited Cao Cao Weiguo: "Cao Cao Weiguo, come to my house and sit for a while. I’ll treat you to tea."

Cao Cao Weiguo glanced at Liu Liu Huaien and nodded to Su Mei: "Great, it’s been a long time since I’ve had tea at your place."

Su Mei’s family ran a teahouse with over eighty years of history.

He had been to the teahouse with Su Mei to drink tea before.

He didn't have a deep impression of the tea, but the osmanthus cake at the teahouse tasted good.

"Cao Cao Weiguo, I advise you not to pester Su Mei. You aren't worthy of her."

Hearing Su Mei invite Cao Cao Weiguo to her house, Liu Liu Huaien suddenly became anxious.

Cao Cao Weiguo sneered: "What? Are you worthy of Su Mei?"

Liu Liu Huaien said triumphantly: "Of course. Let me tell you, I am now a clerk in the finance department of the machine repair factory. I’m going to be a leader in the future."

"Is that so! A clerk is very impressive, huh!"

Cao Cao Weiguo chuckled lightly: "Does that have anything to do with me or Su Mei?"

A clerk is so proud? He was a deputy section chief!

Liu Liu Huaien’s face turned blue: "Cao Cao Weiguo, you’re just a stinking cook who flips a spoon. I advise you to stay away from Su Mei."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a cold face: "Revolutionary work only has different divisions of labor, not high or low status. You are publicly making discriminatory remarks. Do you want me to go to your factory leaders and report this?"

Liu Liu Huaien was so scared his face turned pale: "You!"

If such remarks reached the ears of the leaders, he would definitely be severely punished.

Su Mei pulled Cao Cao Weiguo: "Cao Cao Weiguo, don't lower yourself to his level. Let’s go drink tea."

Cao Cao Weiguo looked contemptuously at the stunned Liu Liu Huaien: "Comrade Clerk, do you want to invite me to your factory for a tour?"

Liu Liu Huaien turned his head, his face blue and purple, not daring to answer Cao Cao Weiguo’s words.

Su Mei patted Cao Cao Weiguo: "Steady the bike, I’m getting on."

Cao Cao Weiguo said in surprise: "It’s just around the corner, you still want to ride?"

Su Mei giggled: "I’ve never ridden on your bicycle. Can’t you let me experience something new?"

At this moment, Liu Liu Huaien noticed Cao Cao Weiguo’s "ride!"

This Cao Cao Weiguo is just a cook, how could he possibly own a bicycle?

Su Mei sat on the back seat, clutching Cao Cao Weiguo’s clothes: "Destination: Tongfu Teahouse! Giddy up!"

"You got it!"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and pedaled away, bringing a gust of fragrant wind.

It made Liu Liu Huaien’s eyes red, his face full of gnashing teeth.

Su Mei sat on the bicycle, looking at Cao Cao Weiguo’s back.

Her heart was filled with indescribable joy and pleasure.

On the street, Liu Liu Huaien looked angrily at the departing figure.

He had been pursuing Su Mei for over three years and hadn't even touched her little hand.

Now, his beloved was sitting on Cao Cao Weiguo’s bicycle.

This was showing off their affection right in front of him!

If he hadn't kept his sanity, Liu Liu Huaien would have wanted to rush over and beat Cao Cao Weiguo up.

"Cao Cao Weiguo! You stinking cook, just you wait!"

"Su Mei! You’re blind! You won't be with me, but you’re getting close to a cook!"

Liu Liu Huaien clenched his fists with cold eyes, turned around, and left, filled with hatred.

Su Mei’s little hand bumped against Cao Cao Weiguo’s waist:

"Cao Cao Weiguo, you’re something else. You’ve only been working for three years and you’re already riding a bicycle!"

Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "It’s nothing. I bought the bicycle for convenience."

"Just for your modesty, I’ll brew you a pot of tea myself in a bit!"
