Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 353 Growing up

Xu Jianshan did not see the expressions of the two people. He was looking at the money in his hand and was very excited.

Lin Qingyan gave him a price of 200 yuan for the tape recorder and 10 yuan for the tape, for a total investment of 220 yuan. He sold it for 400 yuan and made 180 yuan in one go.

He knew that the profit was high and he could make a lot of money, and he had made psychological expectations, but when he really made so much money, he was still very happy.

He was right. In this day and age, as long as you work hard, it is impossible not to make money, especially now that the situation and policies are getting better and better.

He believes that if he can earn 180 yuan today, he may have the possibility of earning yuan or even yuan in the future.

Xu Jianshan put the money away, went to the inner room, took out another tape recorder, put it on the table, and continued playing music.

Having earned money, he now feels more relaxed and cheerful when listening to music.

He had been planning to bring one radio yesterday, but Lin Qingyan persuaded him to bring two, and even joked that what if one of them was bought by someone else?

On the other side, Gu Yizhou left after dinner. He did not go home or to Grandpa Gu's place. Instead, he went directly to find his childhood friend Wei He who worked in the public security department.

Wei He was surprised to see him.

"Hey, rare guest, how come you have time to come and see me?"

"I need to trouble you with something." Gu Yizhou stated his purpose directly.

"Stop, brother, can't you let me imagine that you came to see me on purpose? At least let me feel better. How can you start talking about things as soon as you get here? How can I feel embarrassed!"

Wei He was completely different from his usual serious demeanor at work, and almost covered his heart with his hands.

Gu Yizhou glared at him and said, "You are so disgusting, does your aunt know? And stay away from me, I have a partner."

Wei He was originally planning to continue showing off, but after hearing what Gu Yizhou said, he asked in disbelief:

"Which girl is so strong that she can stand a piece of wood like you?"

Speaking of Lin Qingyan, Gu Yizhou's face was gentle, "She is a child from an ordinary family, but she is very outstanding."

"Okay, okay, I know she must be outstanding, otherwise you wouldn't like her. But what do you want to talk to me about? It can't be related to your girlfriend, right?"

Wei He looked at Gu Yizhou speculatively, but he didn't expect that his expression was so calm.

"You're not going to let me guess right, are you? Let me make it clear first, you know me. No matter how good our relationship is, I can't help you do anything illegal."

"What are you thinking about, kid? Do you want to break the law?" Gu Yizhou stepped forward and kicked him.

Wei He yelled deliberately, and Gu Yizhou waited for him to finish before saying seriously:

"I'm here to talk to you about two things. First, my girlfriend and her mother are doing some small business near a movie theater or other factories.

Please help look after them when the time comes, and don't let any ignorant people bully them."

"Don't worry about that. My sister-in-law and her friends were bullied on my territory. That's unacceptable. By the way, what's your sister-in-law's name?"

“Lin Qingyan!”

"Sister-in-law is a nice name. By the way, what does sister-in-law look like? Would you like to introduce her to me first, so that I don't forget to recognize her when we meet later."

Wei He was very interested in Lin Qingyan and wondered what kind of person would be able to accept this piece of wood.

"Don't interrupt. I'll be accompanying them to set up the stall these few days. You can watch from a distance and don't go up to her, so as not to embarrass her."

Gu Yizhou also thought it would be better for Wei He to get to know Lin Qingyan, so that he wouldn't have to not know who to ask for help when the time comes.

"Brother, why have you become so stingy? Can't you introduce me to someone? Or are there other girls around your sister-in-law?"

Wei He started to act naughty again.

"Stop it, don't have these evil ideas. If I find out, I will make you taste the pain you suffered as a child."

Gu Yizhou threatened in a calm tone.

The childhood friend was so frightened that he shuddered and shook his body as if he had thought of something horrible. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "What's the second thing?"

Seeing that he was finally serious, Gu Yizhou said with a smile:

"The second thing is, there are a few young men who often run around near the cinema. I want you to help check if they have done anything illegal. The leader seems to be called Lian Qing."

"Lian Qing?" Wei He asked puzzledly.

"What? Do you know him?" Gu Yizhou frowned as he looked at Wei He.

"I don't know him, but I know him. We have investigated his situation before, and he has not done anything obviously illegal.

Many of the things he did were a bit on the edge. He used to be involved in the black market, but the prices of the things he sold were not outrageously high.

You know, some places are necessary to exist, and some things, if he takes a step further, it will be illegal, so he can be arrested.

But he always sticks to his bottom line. He has a characteristic in doing things, which is not to bully the weak. How can I describe this person? He is neither a good person nor a bad person. "

Wei He thought of the information in the file, sighed, and continued:

"He was also unlucky, and was dragged down by his father's affairs. His father was also in a miserable situation, being framed. It is said that he suffered a lot during the investigation.

Later, no obvious evidence was found, and after being released, this place was no longer normal.”

Wei He pointed to his head, indicating that there was something wrong with his brain.

"Lian Qing lost his job due to his father's influence. Later, in order to survive, he had to find other ways to make money. He was even suppressed by others.

Otherwise, with his intelligence, if he had taken the right path, his current achievements might not be low. Our boss also knows about him and knows that he has a bottom line in doing things.

So I left him some opportunities. By the way, how did he offend you?"

"He didn't offend me. I just met him at the cinema today and came over to find out about his situation."

Gu Yizhou thought about Lian Qing's expression and told the truth.

"If that kid is given a chance, he will definitely seize it."

Wei He actually had a good impression of Lian Qing. There were too many people who were persecuted in this era, and many of them could not hold on after being persecuted. Even if they did hold on, they would just live a mediocre life.

After Gu Yizhou learned the information he wanted to know, he stood up and prepared to leave, "I have something else to do, I'm leaving first!"

Wei He was a little unhappy to see him leaving like this, so he stepped forward to stop him.

"Hey, brother, aren't you being unkind? You show up when you need help, and then leave when you're done. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so you have to treat me to a meal today."

"Not today. I have to go back to my grandfather later. I will definitely treat you to a meal before I leave Beijing."

Gu Yizhou wanted to go back and see if Grandpa Gu had finished his work.

"Didn't you just get transferred back to Beijing not long ago? Why are you leaving again? Where are you going?"

Wei He was a little puzzled. How come he didn't know about this news? It seemed that he had to go back to accompany his grandfather more often to keep up with the news.

“Go to school!”

After Gu Yizhou said these three words, he walked out, and his childhood friend was devastated by these three words.

"Go to school? What school?" Wei He had just asked when Gu Yizhou had already walked away.

Wei He was so angry that he decided to go back to the compound at night to see what had happened in the past few days.
