Chapter 850

Even with strict official control, private housing transactions still existed.

Just like Xu Huizhen of the small tavern, she had privately bought the ancestral property of Pian'er Ye.

"Brother Cao, that Cui Dake's appetite is getting bigger and bigger."

"He actually wants to take three hundred yuan worth of goods at once."

After chatting about the matter of buying a courtyard privately, Dong Xiaoxue suddenly brought up Cui Dake.

Out of consideration for Ding Qiunan, Cao Weiguo had asked Dong Xiaoxue to look after Cui Dake.

He had some "good goods" set aside extra for Cui Dake to resell, to make his life a bit easier.

It was just that after this Cui Dake got a taste of the sweetness, his appetite grew larger the more he was fed.

This guy not only had a big appetite but also a big nerve; he truly valued money over his life.

The price at which Dong Xiaoxue's group sold the goods was only thirty or forty percent higher than the market price.

People like Cui Dake could double their money by taking the goods to the black market.

If the channels were wild enough, they could even triple or quadruple their money.

Although the risk of reselling supplies was great, the profit within was also shockingly large.

Cao Weiguo thought for a moment and said: "Keep it as it was before; we can't spoil him. That guy is too greedy and is the type who values money over his life; we can't let him ruin things."

Dong Xiaoxue nodded and said: "I understand."

Cao Weiguo raised his hand to check his watch: "It's getting late, I'm heading back. You should also get some rest early."

Dong Xiaoxue saw Cao Weiguo to the door: "Go slowly on the road, pay attention to safety."

"I know, you go back and rest."

Cao Weiguo mounted his "Twenty-Eight" bicycle and disappeared into the vast night with a gust of wind.

Dong Xiaoxue returned to the room, and her younger sister ran out from the inner room:

"Sister! Did Brother Cao leave?"

Dong Xiaoxue nodded: "He left."

Dong Xiaoshuang said with a look of disappointment: "Brother Cao came over so late, I thought he would stay!"

Dong Xiaoxue poked her sister's forehead hard with her finger: "You dead girl, what are you daydreaming about? How could Brother Cao stay at our house overnight!"

Dong Xiaoshuang retreated while covering her forehead: "I wasn't daydreaming! Brother Cao is so good! I want him to be my brother-in-law!"

"Dead girl! I'll let you talk nonsense! Watch how I deal with you!"

Dong Xiaoxue's pretty face turned red with shyness, and she clawed and swiped, wanting to teach the loose-lipped Dong Xiaoshuang a lesson.

Dong Xiaoshuang escaped back to the inner room in a flash, grabbing the door with one hand and holding the wall with the other, sticking out her tongue in provocation.

Sihe Academy

When Cao Weiguo rode his bike back to the Sihe Academy, he happened to run into Jin Lian coming out of Shazhu's house.

When Jin Lian saw Cao Weiguo pushing his bicycle, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up.

She had seen Cao Weiguo a few times, but they had never spoken.

As the number of times she came to the Sihe Academy grew, she knew more and more.

Not only did she learn of Shazhu's "glorious deeds" from the older women,

she also knew some of the people and events in the courtyard.

Naturally, this included Cao Weiguo.

Although this Cao Weiguo was only twenty years old, he was already a section-level cadre at the steel rolling mill.

And he was the top leader in charge of the staff canteen.

In this era that had just experienced the three years of great famine, the canteen was a place everyone yearned for.

Upon learning that Cao Weiguo had become the canteen director at such a young age, Jin Lian immediately had thoughts of getting close to him.

Compared to the old and poor Shazhu, the young and promising Cao Weiguo was clearly more charming.

If she could marry Cao Weiguo, then her whole family could enjoy a life of ease.

Jin Lian greeted him proactively with a charming smile: "Hello, Comrade Cao Weiguo!"

Cao Weiguo responded politely: "Hello, Comrade!"

Jin Lian smiled and said: "My name is Jin Lian, very happy to meet you."

"Jin Lian, don't talk to him, he's not a good person!"

Shazhu came out of the room, shouting with a nervous expression.

Even though he had always looked down on Cao Weiguo, believing Cao Weiguo to be a despicable and selfish villain,

he had to admit that this guy Cao Weiguo was a tiny bit more handsome than him.

The most critical thing was that this guy was treacherous and rich.

He didn't want Jin Lian to be deceived by this villain Cao Weiguo!

Cao Weiguo looked at Shazhu and sneered contemptuously: "Shazhu, if your skin is itching, just say so; I can help you scratch that itch."

Shazhu stiffened his neck and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Am I wrong? You know clearly in your heart what you've done!"

Cao Weiguo mocked: "A degenerate like you who steals public property has the nerve to say I'm not a good person? Where do you get such a thick face?"

"You!"

Shazhu was flushed with shame and anger, clenching his fists as he prepared to explode.

Jin Lian said hurriedly: "Brother He, what are you doing!"

Shazhu suppressed the urge to hit someone and turned his head away angrily:

"Jin Lian, aren't you going home? I'll see you off!"

Seeing this situation, Jin Lian found it inappropriate to stay and try to get close to Cao Weiguo.

She glared at Shazhu with some resentment and turned to walk toward the main gate.

Shazhu gave Cao Weiguo a fierce glare and left, suppressing his anger.

Cao Weiguo, you villain!

Sooner or later, I'll break a few of your bones to vent my anger! ===== CHAPTER 852 =====
