Sister Wu, the dishwashing aunt, was very quick with her hands and feet. She quickly made two cups of tea and brought it over. Then she happily packed her things, took off the apron around her waist, and left for get off work.
In the dog meat restaurant, only Xu Tongdao and Ge Liangcai were left.
Ge Liangcai stretched out his hand and said, "Drink tea, Xiaodao! You're welcome."
Tongdao Xu smiled and said, "I just brewed it. I'll drink it later. By the way, cousin, don't you plan to open business today? Are you asking Auntie to get off work so early?"
A smile broke out on Ge Liangcai's face, "Yes! Anyway, the business in the store has been almost non-existent recently. Not a single customer came to the door all day yesterday, but only one table came the day before yesterday. The business is so bad that we can't close the door.
What's the big difference? Do you think so?"
Comrade Xu nodded slightly, "I understand."
Patting the handbag at hand, Xu Tongdao changed the subject, "Cousin, I brought you the money, but it's not cash. I don't have that much cash on hand. If it's convenient for you, follow me to the bank later.
Trip? I'll transfer the money to you?"
Ge Liangcai: "Well, don't be in a hurry! I'll go back later. I just made you a cup of tea. Why don't you wait until you drink this cup of tea before leaving!"
After a pause, Ge Liangcai looked at Xu Tongdao and asked hesitantly: "By the way, Xiaodao, there is something I want to discuss with you. I hope you can help me with this."
Comrade Xu raised his right eyebrow slightly, "What are you busy with? Tell me about it!"
Ge Liangcai seemed a little embarrassed to speak. He frowned, picked up the teacup in front of him, blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface, and took a small sip. When he put down the teacup, he looked at Xu Tongdao again and said softly: "Xiaodao, we are
Biao, shall I tell you directly?"
Comrade Xu smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Please speak out!"
Ge Liangcai: "To be honest, I asked you to return all the money to me this time. In fact, it's not just for getting married. I can't spend that much money on getting married. I, I also want to try opening an Internet cafe. You are better than me in this aspect."
Much more experience, especially in technical aspects.
You know that your brother and I have a junior high school education, and I am very knowledgeable about computers, but I know nothing about them. Look... if I also open an Internet cafe, can you help me take care of the technical aspects? "
After saying that, Ge Liangcai looked at Comrade Xu expectantly, his eyes unblinking.
Tongdao Xu frowned slightly. He really didn't expect that Ge Liangcai asked him to help like this.
What's more, I didn't expect that news had just spread here that Ge Liangcai was getting married. As a result... before the marriage was concluded, he was planning to open an Internet cafe.
Is this a way to get married? Or is it a way to open an Internet cafe?
For ordinary people, whether it is getting married or opening an Internet cafe, it is a major event. With Ge Liangcai's net worth, it is reasonable and in line with social expectations to only do one of these within a period of time.
But Ge Liangcai decided to do these two things together. For a moment, Comrade Xu was really surprised.
At the same time, I was a little hesitant.
An old saying flashed through his mind: Borrowing money does not borrow the road.
Businessmen are very taboo about teaching others how to make money, probably because they will starve to death?
Seeing that Comrade Xu did not agree, Ge Liangcai added: "For example, you can introduce me to a network manager with good computer skills, right? Just introduce me to a good network manager. Do you like it?"
"Wait a minute, let me think about it!"
Xu Tongdao raised his right hand to signal, still frowning and thinking.
Ge Liangcai quickly shut up and looked at him expectantly and nervously.
Various thoughts flashed through Xu Tongdao's mind. After a moment, Xu Tongdao raised his eyes and met Ge Liangcai's eyes.
Asked a question, "Cousin, even if I pay you back all the money I owe you today, including the principal and interest, if you want to open an Internet cafe, it won't be... enough, right? What's more, you still have to make use of the money.
Use part of it to get married, you..."
After a pause, Comrade Xu asked the question in his heart, "Cousin! Tell me honestly, the person you are marrying this time... are you just doing it for other people's money? Do you think, do you want to get married?"
She paid you to open an Internet cafe? Is that right?"
Ge Liangcai: "..."
Under the gaze of Comrade Xu, the smile on Ge Liangcai's face quickly faded, he breathed out lightly, his shoulders slumped slightly, a melancholy look appeared on his face, he nodded with a wry smile, and said softly: "Yes.
Ah! Xiaodao, I figured it out, working...even if
If you work all your life, you won't be able to make a fortune. At most, you will just have enough food and clothing. Then you will work hard all your life. When you get old, you may still be penniless. The hard-earned money you have earned all your life will be used to support your parents and wife.
After taking it with the children, there is not much left.
The examples are all ready-made!
Look at the elders of the previous generation around us. Didn’t they work hard in this life? Didn’t they work hard to make money? But they are all old now, who still has much money? How are they living when they are old?
, we can only rely on whether our children and grandchildren are filial or not."
After a pause, Ge Liangcai breathed out again and said with a smile: "I don't want to live like that. It just so happens that while I'm not married yet and I'm good-looking, a woman from a well-off family has a crush on me, so just treat it like that."
I sold it myself at a good price! I married her, and then asked her to help me open an Internet cafe with the money. The business of the several Internet cafes you opened was so good, you said... I will open one after you, it should be able to
Make some money? What do you think?"
Comrade Xu squinted at Ge Liangcai, who had a complicated smile.
This is the shrewdest and most calculating of all his cousins.
He has known since childhood that Ge Liangcai has a very practical mind and is very practical.
Today he really understood the lesson.
Only Ge Liang could use his marriage as a bargaining chip. Comrade Xu couldn't do this in his previous life, and he most likely won't be able to do it in this life either.
Because he couldn't pass the test in his heart, but Ge Liangcai obviously convinced himself.
Cruel enough!
Also sensible enough.
Xu Tongdao asked himself that he could not make such a choice, but this did not prevent him from admiring Ge Liangcai in his heart, because his reason told him that Ge Liangcai's choice was indeed an opportunity to make a fortune.
There are always many handsome men in this world.
But in Xu Tongdao's impression, those who can make such a choice like Ge Liangcai have always been in the minority, because this is very close to "eating soft rice."
And most men hate being called a softie.
"Have you thought it through?"
Tongdao Xu couldn't help but ask.
Ge Liangcai smiled and nodded, "Well, I've thought about it very clearly. I'm afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I'll be like that in this life. I want to give it a try! Xiaodao, now let's see if you can help me. If you don't
Help me, Internet cafe...I don't have the confidence to open it myself."
Comrade Xu picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip. Before the teacup was placed on the table, he raised his head slightly and nodded slightly, "Okay! I will introduce you to a network administrator."
Borrowing money but not borrowing a way?
At this moment, Tongdao Xu felt that there was no need to worry about this, because he knew very well that even if he did not help Ge Liangcai open an Internet cafe, there would be no shortage of other Internet cafes in Shuiniao City and even across the country to compete with him in the next few years.
Since I can't eat this alone, why can't I let my cousin Ge Liangcai come in and get a share of the pie?
