Chapter 14, Meal 1
"Okay." Xu Sui nodded.
Du Yue's eyes widened, thinking she had misheard.
"Really...really?"
Xu Sui handed the watch to her, "Check it out. If there's nothing wrong, give it to me."
She's still waiting for this money to eat.
Du Yue quickly realized what was happening and, fearing that Xu Sui might change her mind, rummaged through her money and tickets and handed them to Xu Sui according to the agreed amount.
"Okay, okay."
"No problem, I believe in you."
Although she wasn't familiar with Xu Sui, those little dress shoes in Xu Sui's wardrobe were all quite expensive.
Besides, they're roommates, so if anything happens, she can find someone immediately.
Xu Sui was somewhat surprised, but she still believed that business principles should be followed.
"Check it over, and I'll take the money if everything is fine."
She was quite confident in her skills, but one thing at a time.
Du Yue nodded, took the watch, and examined it carefully, her eyes shining brighter and brighter as she looked at it.
"No problem, I'm very satisfied."
Aside from being a second-hand watch, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. This watch is a Titoni watch from Shanghai; a brand new one would cost over 140 yuan, plus a watch purchase invoice.
She got a bargain by buying a secondhand item in this condition for such a small amount of money.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "I'm glad you're satisfied."
She was very satisfied. She had just counted the money: five ten-yuan notes, not a penny less, plus some cloth coupons and one two-jin grain coupon.
It's clear that Du Yue's family background is indeed quite impressive; she wasn't wrong about her target client.
Making this trip once a day is practically a risk-free business; you make a fortune.
Unfortunately, such opportunities don't come around all the time.
The town's recycling station doesn't often have abandoned bicycles and watches, and even if it does, it's not her turn to pick them up. Situations like today are extremely rare.
Having tasted the benefits, Xu Sui couldn't help but think about when she would have time to visit the purchasing station in the city.
The city is much bigger than the town, so the purchasing station must have a lot of good stuff there.
However, this cannot be rushed.
Let's deal with what we have on hand first.
At this moment, Qiu Ju, who had been quietly watching from the corner, hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but speak softly, "Xu Sui, those little leather shoes you asked someone to buy for you in Haishi..."
"That won't do." Xu Sui knew exactly what the other party was up to as soon as she heard that.
Everyone loves to enjoy life, and she does too.
The dresses and leather shoes that the original owner bought were all purchased with real money. The original owner had spent all his savings over the years on those things, and he would lose a lot of money if he sold them secondhand.
She's a businesswoman and never does anything that loses money.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Qiuju's eyes.
Xu Sui suddenly spoke up, "However, if you want a bicycle, I can get you a cheap one."
There are three girls in the dorm. If she drags them all into this, she might be able to develop some potential clients for them in the future.
Qiu Ju's eyes suddenly lit up. "Really?"
Her family lives in the nearby city. Both her parents work, and they have only two children. A few days ago, they received a letter from home saying that her older brother was getting married and the other party wanted her family to provide a bicycle.
The money to buy the 28-inch bicycle wasn't a problem for their family; the difficulty lay in obtaining the bicycle ticket.
They've pulled a lot of strings, but they still haven't been able to get one. And the dates for both families are getting closer and closer.
Her parents were so anxious they couldn't sleep at night. They even went to the black market, but still couldn't buy a suitable 28-inch motorcycle.
Xu Sui nodded and explained the matter to her again.
"However, it's not new, so it won't affect normal use."
The old-fashioned bicycle I worked on today was made with really bad materials. It was usable, but the exterior looked like it had been salvaged from a junkyard. I found some suitable materials, refurbished it, and gave it a coat of paint. It would be fine to keep it for myself.
But if she just sells it like this, wouldn't that ruin her reputation?
You should know that the most important thing for a businessperson is their brand.
So she has to find an opportunity to reassemble one.
"I can only give it to you next week."
Qiuju nodded quickly, her tone becoming much more polite, "It's alright, it's alright. As long as there aren't any major problems, I can take care of it."
These days, owning a 28-inch motorcycle is not only cool but also respectable.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to handle.
Xu Sui smiled. "What about tonight?"
The two immediately understood, "Don't worry, we know what we're doing and won't say anything."
This is considered speculation and profiteering. If it gets out, it will have a bad impact on everyone. They both bought things from Xu Sui, so they're in the same boat.
Xu Sui nodded. "I'm tired. I'm going to sleep now."
I made a fortune today, so I don't have to worry about money for now.
She was still very satisfied.
In a two-person dormitory room in the military base.
The lights were dim and yellowish.
Seeing the man in a crisp green military uniform writing a marriage report at his desk, Liu Zhang walked over and was startled. "Seriously, Yunzhou, you're really going to turn against your good brother Qin Shu for a woman?"
"Are you even a brother? Xu Sui and Qin Shu were a legitimate couple before, and they were already talking about marriage. Qin Shu still likes Xu Sui so much."
"I thought you were joking, but I didn't expect you to be serious."
"I remember you didn't like Xu Sui before, and even said she had ulterior motives. Why are you going to marry her now?"
He simply couldn't understand Gu Yunzhou's behavior.
If it weren't for their long-standing brotherhood and his understanding of Gu Yunzhou's character, he would almost have thought Gu Yunzhou was a traitorous, womanizing villain.
Gu Yunzhou didn't even look up, continuing to write the marriage report.
"Shut up, go away."
If he could, he wouldn't want things to come to this.
But now, his brotherhood with Qin Shu is completely severed, Xu Sui has become his woman, and the Qin and Xu families already have a marriage agreement, so he has to marry Xu Sui both morally and logically.
Liu Zhang sighed, his brows furrowed.
"Yunzhou, there are so many good women in the world, why do you have to fixate on Xu Sui?"
"I don't know what exactly happened between the three of you, but there's one thing you need to think carefully about: do you really want to marry Xu Sui, and are you really willing to fall out with Qin Shu for the sake of marrying Xu Sui?"
Yunzhou wasn't the only one who realized that Xu Sui wasn't a simple woman; he realized it too.
When Xu Sui first came to the army, she had her eye on him. Later, when she learned that his background was not as good as Yun Zhou's, she did not hesitate to secretly flirt with Yun Zhou behind Qin Shu's back.
He didn't have much affection for this kind of woman either, and he didn't want to see either Qin Shu or Yun Zhou marry her.
Gu Yunzhou remained silent for a moment, then picked up the completed marriage application and checked it.
"I am the one who is actually engaged to her. Her reputation is ruined, and I have to marry her."
After the night he had relations with Xu Sui, there was no turning back.
After he and Qin Shu switched back to their original identities, he also learned that Qin Shu had gone to see Xu Sui.
He originally thought Xu Sui would choose Qin Shu, since that was what she had always been pursuing.
However, Xu Sui did not continue to be with Qin Shu, but instead chose him, who was now down on his luck.
For some reason, he always felt that Xu Sui seemed different after that night.
