Chapter 31

"This is a brand-new Permanent brand 28-inch bicycle; it costs over one hundred and eighty yuan!"

Feeling the envious gazes of passersby, Cao Weiguo felt proud and comfortable in his heart.

Pedaling the bicycle back to the Sihe Academy, it immediately caused a sensation in the whole courtyard.

This was the second bicycle in the Sihe Academy, and it was a brand-new Permanent brand 28-inch—a top-tier luxury car!

The first one was Yi Fugui's bicycle, a second-hand old bicycle, and even that made everyone envious.

Xu Damao's bicycle was because of work needs, provided by the Rolling Steel Factory—public property, shared by all projectionists.

So Cao Weiguo's bicycle was the second one in the Sihe Academy!

"Weiguo, you bought a bicycle?"

"My god! This is a brand-new Permanent brand 28-inch!"

"I've seen it at the Beixinqiao store; it's 185 yuan!"

"Weiguo, you're too capable!"

The neighbors surrounded him enviously, and Yi Fugui's eyes were almost red.

Because he was an old teacher, the school rewarded him with a bicycle coupon, and he saved money for several years before he could buy a second-hand bicycle.

Cao Weiguo bought a brand-new Permanent 28-inch in his early twenties, which immediately compared him to nothing.

Jia Zhangshi cursed with jealousy: "Black-hearted beast, extorting money from our family to buy a car—sooner or later you'll fall to your death."

Qin Huairu saw Cao Weiguo pushing the bicycle and thought hotly: "Cao Weiguo is really rich; I must let him help me."

Shazhu, carrying his lunchbox, was full of resentment: "Cao Weiguo, where did you get the bicycle coupon? Did you get it through speculation!"

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the courtyard turned cold, and everyone looked at Cao Weiguo and Shazhu with different eyes.

Speculation is no small matter!

Yi Haizhong put on an act: "Cao Weiguo, tell us how you got this bicycle coupon? You must not make mistakes!"

Cao Weiguo said with full confidence: "The bicycle coupon was given by Deputy Factory Director Li. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

Yi Haizhong was shocked: "Given by Deputy Factory Director Li?"

Shazhu didn't believe it: "Who do you think you are? Deputy Factory Director Li gave you a bicycle coupon?"

Cao Weiguo sneered: "If you don't believe me, go ask. You can also report it to the neighborhood office. If you don't have the ability yourself, just being envious is useless."

After saying this, Cao Weiguo pushed his bike home with his head held high.

Shazhu stood on the spot, flushed with anger, feeling stifled and frustrated in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
