Chapter 18

The old man's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "The price is fair, I'll take them all."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with an expressionless face, "Tonight at 10 o'clock, wait for me at the south entrance of Pigu Hutong."

The old man smiled, "Good, 10 o'clock, see you there." ===== CHAPTER 32 =====

Jingcheng

Pigu Hutong

This was a place Cao Cao Weiguo had passed by once, a location he mentioned casually.

After leaving the pigeon market, Cao Cao Weiguo walked toward Pigu Hutong.

There was a risk in the transaction with the old man, and Cao Cao Weiguo had the intention to go back on his word and give up on the way.

In the pigeon market, in the dark environment, no one could see anyone clearly.

Even if Cao Cao Weiguo went back on his word, the old man had no way to do anything.

But the benefits within reach were too tempting!

He wanted a relatively stable shipping channel.

Cao Cao Weiguo arrived near the south entrance of Pigu Hutong at 9:30.

He hid in a small alley and stared at the south entrance.

At 9:50, an old man brought a tall man to the entrance.

Cao Cao Weiguo observed until 10:10 before putting on a facial mask and walking quickly to the entrance with two large sacks.

The man was tall, but Cao Cao Weiguo wasn't afraid of him robbing him.

The secret Tai Chi boxing rewarded by the sign-in was not just for show.

"Old man, take a look at the things."

Cao Cao Weiguo walked quickly to the old man and handed the two sacks to the tall man.

The old man smiled and handed the money to Cao Cao Weiguo, "Young man, you have quite a few schemes."

Cao Cao Weiguo said, "I'm a naturally timid person."

The man opened the sack and took a look, then lifted it to weigh it, "Second Uncle, no problem."

The old man swallowed his saliva and asked expectantly, "Young man, do you have any other good things recently?"

Cao Cao Weiguo thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure now, but I will go to the pigeon market in the future."

The old man said expectantly, "Then I'll wait for you at the old place in the pigeon market."

Cao Cao Weiguo didn't say much and left in a hurry.

Walking into a small alley, he turned around and walked toward the Sihe Academy.

When he returned to his home in the Sihe Academy, the clock on the wall was already 11:20.

"Need to buy a bicycle quickly."

Washing up and brushing his teeth, he had a beautiful sleep.

The next day, Cao Cao Weiguo found the cafeteria director and asked about the bicycle coupon.

The cafeteria director told Cao Cao Weiguo a channel, but the cost was not cheap.

Money!

Cao Cao Weiguo really didn't lack it!

The next day

After work

Cao Cao Weiguo carried three white-striped chickens and knocked on the door of Deputy Factory Director Li's house.

"Ding! Daily sign-in successful!"

"Obtained 5 jin of white sugar, 1 jin of chili seeds!"

"Hello, I'm a worker at the rolling mill. I'm here to visit Factory Director Li. Sorry for the intrusion, please forgive me."

A middle-aged woman opened the door, and Cao Cao Weiguo said politely.

Politeness costs nothing!

Looking at the three chickens Cao Cao Weiguo brought, the woman was beaming:

"No intrusion, no intrusion, come in quickly."

The woman shouted toward the study, "Old Li, a fellow worker is here to see you."

Cao Cao Weiguo followed her into the house and handed the chickens to the woman:

"A little token, please don't mind."

The woman took the chickens and smiled happily:

"You came, why bring gifts? Please sit down."

Deputy Factory Director Li, who came out of the study, was a bit surprised to see Cao Cao Weiguo and the chickens in his wife's hands.

He knew Cao Cao Weiguo, but the two rarely had contact and hadn't said a few words to each other.

Besides, he had never thought much of a cook.

However, for the sake of the three chickens, Deputy Factory Director Li began to smile:

"Cao Weiguo, what made you think of coming here?"

The woman happily took the chickens to the kitchen, and Cao Cao Weiguo got straight to the point:

"Factory Director Li, I heard you have a bicycle coupon, so I came to bother you."

Deputy Factory Director Li said in surprise, "You want a bicycle coupon?"

Cao Cao Weiguo took 10 ten-Brother Yuan bills out of his pocket and smiled, placing them on the coffee table:

"I know bicycle coupons are very scarce, but I heard you treat fellow workers like brothers, so I had the nerve to ask you for help."

Ten ten-Brother Yuan bills made Deputy Factory Director Li's eyes light up.

Cao Cao Weiguo took out one hundred Brother Yuan at once.

A bicycle coupon wasn't worth that much money.

This was clearly giving him benefits.

"Cao Weiguo, helping fellow workers is what should be done."

"You're too polite. Sit down, I'll go get the coupon."

Deputy Factory Director Li greeted Cao Cao Weiguo to sit down happily and turned to the study to take out the bicycle coupon.

"Factory Director Li, thank you so much. You are the best leader I have ever seen."

Getting the bicycle coupon, Cao Cao Weiguo thanked him excitedly.

Deputy Factory Director Li smiled happily, "Hahaha... Cao Weiguo, you are sensible. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

Cao Cao Weiguo said quickly, "Definitely, definitely. Having a leader like you who is willing to help is my good fortune."

Having obtained the bicycle coupon, Cao Cao Weiguo said goodbye after flattering him a few times.

When he left the family building, it was already dark outside.

The state-run store was already closed, so he would have to buy the bicycle tomorrow.

The next day at work, Cao Cao Weiguo asked Deputy Factory Director Li to issue a unit certificate.

After lunch, Cao Cao Weiguo asked the cafeteria director for leave and headed to the state-run store excitedly.

Walking into the simply decorated state-run store, he saw the warning sign "No beating customers."

"Give me a Permanent brand 28-inch bicycle!"

Handing the bicycle coupon to the salesperson, the nearby customers showed surprised and envious eyes.

The salesperson checked the bicycle coupon: "185 Brother Yuan!"

Cao Cao Weiguo took out a stack of banknotes generously, attracting the eyes of several female customers.

Young, handsome, and rich!

Marrying him would definitely be happy!

Confirming that the money and coupon were correct, the salesperson pushed out a brand-new Permanent brand 28-inch bicycle.

After getting the bicycle, Cao Cao Weiguo went to handle the "Bicycle License" with the purchase receipt and unit certificate without stopping.

After stamping the steel seal on the handlebars, the main beam, etc., he received the bicycle license plate, installed it in the designated position, and received a "Bicycle License."

After all the procedures were complete, Cao Cao Weiguo rode the bicycle, attracting the attention of passersby.

"So young and already has a bicycle, truly capable." ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
