Chapter 698

~5 min read 912 words

Out of the vast sea of people, they had spotted him, this peerless genius, at a glance!

Sha Zhuzi ate a piece of braised pork happily, raising his head triumphantly:

"This is just the beginning!"

"Today, the ingredients were limited."

"One day, when I make it big!"

"I'll make a feast of eight dishes and eight bowls!"

"I guarantee you two elders will have an endless aftertaste!"

The Deaf Old Lady drooled with hunger, nodding happily:

"Good, good, good! My grandson is truly filial!"

Yi Zhonghai was full of kindness, his old eyes moist with emotion:

"Zhuzi! Uncle is satisfied just knowing you have this heart!"

Today, Sha Zhuzi was able to treat him to a meal, and Yi Zhonghai felt truly warm inside.

Ever since the "living expenses" incident, he had been living in fear.

He was afraid that Sha Zhuzi would turn against him and make his efforts go down the drain.

So during this time, he had been doing his best to help Sha Zhuzi.

He helped Sha Zhuzi with grain every few days.

He lent money whenever Sha Zhuzi asked.

He even helped Sha Zhuzi find work and offered ideas.

He did everything he could to repair the relationship between the two.

Hard work pays off!

Sha Zhuzi had just started to improve and was already treating him to a meal.

Clearly, he had taken his god-father to heart.

The future was promising!

Compared to the scheming Yi Zhonghai,

the Deaf Old Lady was much simpler.

She was old and just wanted something good to eat.

As long as Sha Zhuzi could satisfy her appetite, that was enough.

Xu Damao pushed his bicycle, carrying two old hens, as he passed by.

Hearing the laughter coming from Sha Zhuzi's house, he couldn't help but feel stifled.

Sha Zhuzi was his mortal enemy.

He was happy whenever he saw Sha Zhuzi having bad luck.

He was unhappy whenever he saw Sha Zhuzi happy.

"Pah!"

"Go ahead and laugh, you grandson!"

"I'll make you cry to death sooner or later!"

Glaring fiercely, Xu Damao continued inside.

He didn't go straight home, but went to Cao Weiguo's door.

"Brother Weiguo!"

"Brother Weiguo!"

Xu Damao parked his bike and shouted into the room twice.

Cao Weiguo put down his Little Red Book and walked to the door with a smile:

"Brother Damao, come inside!"

Xu Damao smiled: "I won't come in, I have something to tell you."

Cao Weiguo was slightly stunned: "What is it, Brother Damao?"

Xu Damao stepped aside, revealing the two old hens:

"I know you've been busy completing your procurement tasks lately."

"What do you think of these two old hens?"

"These are free-range chickens I traded for with white flour in the countryside."

"They'll definitely taste delicious."

Cao Weiguo looked at the two old hens: "Brother Damao, what are you thinking?"

Xu Damao rubbed his hands and leaned forward: "Ten yuan and you can take them both."

As soon as Cao Weiguo heard this, he immediately backed away, shaking his head nervously:

"I didn't hear anything!"

Xu Damao said unhappily: "You're not being a good friend!"

Cao Weiguo said in a low, troubled voice: "Brother Damao! This really won't work!"

"The wind is blowing hard lately, and they're strictly investigating speculation everywhere."

"The factory has held several meetings to talk about work style issues."

"If I bought these two chickens from you,"

"and someone reported it or it was discovered,"

"we'd both probably be spending the New Year in prison."

Xu Damao said suspiciously: "Can they really find out?"

Cao Weiguo said nervously: "There's no wall that doesn't let the wind through."

It wasn't that Cao Weiguo didn't dare to accept Xu Damao's two chickens.

It was just that this guy Xu Damao was too greedy and insidious.

If he accepted his chickens today,

who knows what kind of trouble he would cause in the future.

Today he dared to ask for ten yuan for two chickens.

Tomorrow he would dare to ask for twenty yuan for two chickens.

The day after tomorrow he would dare to ask for one hundred yuan.

Taking an inch and wanting a mile, insatiable greed, going from bad to worse...

These were all things he was capable of.

Xu Damao said gloomily: "I was thinking of cooperating with you."

"I go to the countryside to collect things, and you take them to finish your task."

"You get promoted and I get rich, what a great thing."

Cao Weiguo smiled and bluffed: "Brother Damao, your idea of cooperation is good."

"But the timing isn't right now, let's wait for this wind to pass."

"We'll have plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future."

"By then, I guarantee you'll be making a fortune, Brother Damao."

Xu Damao felt his heart burn with excitement: "Really!"

Cao Weiguo smiled: "More real than real gold!"

Xu Damao was in the Propaganda Department and was very well-informed.

He knew that the factory was cracking down hard and that many cadres had already been taken away.

Therefore, he didn't doubt Cao Weiguo's words too much.

Furthermore, he was just testing the waters this time.

He hadn't expected to hit the jackpot right away.

He was just thinking of using two chickens to test the waters.

Now that Cao Weiguo had expressed interest in cooperating,

he was already overjoyed.

The wind was blowing hard right now!

Once the wind passed, wouldn't he be making a fortune! ===== CHAPTER 700 =====
