The next morning, when Ye Chen got up, breakfast was already ready.
After dinner, Liu Lingya took Jingjing to school, while Ye Chen came to the place he had made an appointment with Li Quanlin.
As soon as I arrived, I saw Li Quanlin waiting there.
"Good morning, Teacher Li!"
Ye Chen said with a smile.
"Good morning, how is the house?
Is it okay?”
"not bad."
"Ah That's good."
Li Quanlin nodded, and then said, "Let's go, the school is quite far from here."
"No no no!"
Ye Chen grabbed the other person and said, "We are not going to school."
"why?"
"Well... the students don't have much money. The first time was to practice their skills, and everyone had no idea. If we go there the second time, it would be a lie. We can't jeopardize the future of the country."
Ye Chen said seriously.
When Li Quanlin heard this, Ye Chen's image in his mind instantly improved a lot, "Yes, yes, yes, my problem, my problem!"
Ye Chen suddenly wanted to laugh, but in fact this was not the real reason.
Mainly, the first time I went to make money was to capture the other party's arrogance and sense of curiosity.
But after what happened yesterday, these students must have realized something was wrong, and they probably started practicing last night!
If we go now, people who know they are not good will simply not come to give money.
Those who have practiced and know that they can do it will definitely come and take advantage of it!
After all, this is not something difficult, and some people can do it if you just calm down and practice.
So I am always at a loss no matter what!
However, Ye Chen didn't have so much time to explain, so he just found a Wei Guangzheng reason to excuse it.
…
Half an hour later, Ye Chen and Li Quanlin came to the door of a video hall.
In this era, video theaters are definitely the most fashionable thing, especially when Hong Kong films begin to hit the mainland market. Their influence on the mainland far exceeds that of movie theaters thirty years later.
So for a while it became a good place for young men and women to date, and it was also a gathering place for gangsters.
"Ye Chen, you don't want to make money here, do you?"
Li Quanlin asked doubtfully, "The people here are not good boys."
"You only make money from good kids?"
Ye Chen asked dumbfounded.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Li Quanlin's face turned red instantly.
In fact, he didn't really support Ye Chen doing this, it always felt like a scam.
But in the final analysis, it’s none of my business. I’m just a helper. Who said I had to collect money yesterday?
"In the final analysis, this business is just an entertainment game. Who likes entertainment the most?
They must be young people! Especially these ‘unruly’ young people.”
Ye Chen said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
When Li Quanlin saw this, he knew that another person was going to be tricked.
After a while, the two set up the stall. The rules were the same as yesterday, but the content had some changes.
Write numbers from 1 to 1000, deposit 5 yuan, and if you succeed without making any mistakes, your deposit will be refunded and you will be rewarded with a box of cans!
Otherwise, the deposit will not be refunded.
In this era, the chaos has just ended, and various entertainment activities are still relatively scarce.
So when everyone saw Ye Chen's stall, they gathered around it.
"Writing numbers looks so easy!"
"That's right, there is actually a box of cans as a reward. The deposit is 5 yuan. A box of cans costs at least 40 yuan!"
"Could it be a lie?
Is there such a simple thing?"
"Probably not, there are so many people here!"
For a while, everyone was talking a lot, and they were all eager to try this new thing.
Ye Chen saw this and was about to speak when a person suddenly appeared and shouted loudly:
"Don't believe this liar! No one can do this! Yesterday, many people in our school were defrauded of money. He is a liar!"
Ye Chen followed everyone's gaze and saw that it was Wang Wen.
At this time, Wang Wen pointed at Ye Chen with a very angry expression.
Fifty dollars was taken away from him yesterday!
That’s a month’s income for an ordinary employee, and it’s also his living expenses for most of the month!
The key is that he went home and practiced all night, but he didn't succeed even once!
"Wang Wen, don't talk nonsense. What did I lie to you about?"
Ye Chen said coldly, "Did I not give you a prize after you finished writing, or did I take your money and prevent you from writing?"
"It's written in black and white, which one did I violate?"
Faced with Ye Chen's question, Wang Wen was stunned.
Indeed, it is written in black and white, and the other party does not seem to have violated a single rule...
But why is the feeling of being cheated so strong?
For a moment he didn't know what to say.
"I'm a technical secondary school student! If we can't write correctly, who else can write correctly?"
Wang Wen suddenly thought of his identity and said hurriedly.
"Technical secondary school student?"
Ye Chen said disdainfully, "Technical secondary school student?
What happened to secondary school students?
Why can't others do something if you can't do it?"
"If you are so powerful, wouldn't those college students want to go to heaven?"
Ye Chen directly blocked Wang Wen with one sentence, and at the same time, the people around him also murmured in dissatisfaction.
"What's so great about secondary school students?"
"That's why, if he can't do it, why can't we?"
"Arrogant!"
Although everyone was dissatisfied with Wang Wen's words, no one came up to try it, especially since many men's girlfriends were still around, so they wanted to show off their skills even more.
But five yuan is not a small amount of money. If you write it wrong, you will suffer a big loss.
Ye Chen knew that he couldn't continue like this, so he immediately observed the crowd and soon found a person with a big head, but he looked naive.
You are the one!
"You, it's you! What's your name?"
Ye Chen pointed at him and said, "Now I'll give you a chance to experience it for free!"
"ah?
me?
My name is Erzhu."
Erzhu pointed at himself and asked with some disbelief.
"Yes, come here and write now. If you write correctly, I will give you a box of cans. If you write incorrectly, I won't take any money from you!"
Ye Chen said.
"Yeah!"
Erzhu was so happy that he ran to the stall in a hurry.
He wanted to play just now, but he had no money!
When people around him saw this, they started talking one after another.
"Who is this?
It’s not a shill, is it?”
"No, this is my friend. He has some mental problems. He often brings him to pay us bills!"
"That is, being a babysitter?
He doesn’t have the brains!”
"That's really a waste of this opportunity. Whether I can write 100 or not is a question."
"Write a ghost! He has never gone to school for a day, so it's amazing to write in double digits."
…
At this time, Erzhu was lying on the table with a silly smile, picked up his pen and started writing.
Ye Chen looked around and said, "My friends, please step aside and keep a distance of one meter! This job is not difficult, but it is delicate. Please don't disturb me!"
After everyone heard this, they retreated consciously. After all, everyone did not want anyone to disturb them later.
Immediately afterwards, the second column began to be written.
But as soon as he reached 11, he could no longer write. His hands began to shake and beads of sweat began to drip from his forehead.
When Ye Chen saw this, he cried out in his heart that he was a fool!
I originally thought about finding someone to be a temporary sitter, writing casually and saying that he was right, and then attracting customers.
But this is too perfunctory!
Just as Ye Chen was going crazy, the two pillars suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he suddenly started to draw peach charms, and he wrote out random numbers with a flying pen!
"Nima... I have a future!"
Ye Chen was speechless, but it was better than nothing.
Time passed little by little. When it was almost done, Ye Chen snatched the paper from Erzhu and pretended to be surprised, "You, have you finished writing?"
Erzhu looked confused at this time, thinking that Ye Chen had seen it wrong, and stood up in a hurry and whispered: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished writing yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Ye Chen pushed him down on the bench and looked at him seriously: "No, you've finished writing."
