Chapter 3: The Kai Zi Delivered to the Door

  PS: Collecting, recommending, following and supporting are all welcome!

  Squeak——

  At this time, a loud screeching sound came from outside the car wash!

  The sound is too piercing, many people look out through plastic sheds.

  "Old Fourth is here!" Er Guazi boss hastily put out his cigarette and went out to greet him.

  Zhao Zhiqiang looked at Er Gouzi's hasty welcome and felt very strange.

  At this time, Su Fengrong, the wife of Zhangcun Village Director, wearing a sable fur coat, walked over.

  She is a leisurely person, every day is either strolling in the high-end shopping mall or playing mahjong, working out and doing beauty treatments. However, one good thing is that she is very concerned about Zhao Yunxiang's studies. She also understands Zhao Yunxiang's thoughts, knowing that she likes Zhao Zhigang. She herself has a special liking for this excellent student Zhao Zhigang, every time she sees him, she feels like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The young man is tall and handsome, intelligent and studies well, this will be...

  As I watched, I walked up to the side of these two brothers.

  "Xiao Gang, and his brother Da Qiang, she is the wife of our Lingnan District Jinda Building Materials Co., Ltd. She's a good person but has a bad mouth, good looks but poor skills at mahjong. Just call her Aunt Chen, don't ever call her 'old lady', that's too old-fashioned, she's only 41 years old, isn't she?"

  Su Fengrong looked at Zhao Zhiqiang's calm expression and suddenly had an idea, "Could it be that these two are playing a fishing trick?" Well, let the wealthy but stingy Chen Dapao be the scapegoat, it's just right.

  When praised by her card friend, Mrs. Chen smiled and revealed a gold tooth, adding another highlight to that piggy face of hers.

  "Ah, ah, my mouth is so bad that even if I had a golden tooth, I couldn't say anything good. Don't mind me, you two brothers, Chen's aunt is used to being blind and arrogant, haha! By the way, I'm really interested in your seaweed, 200 yuan is a bit less, but the market price of seaweed is not good now, 200 yuan is almost the same, the key is that its quality is not good, how can you be so confident to gamble with me? Are you cheating? Fishing here! Haha!"

  "Who's fishing here!" A loud voice came from the doorway.

  Four or five people came in.

  The one in the lead was a big and tall man, about 1.9 meters tall, with short hair, wearing a woolen coat and military boots. The gold chain around his neck was very eye-catching, probably as thick as chopsticks, and it seemed to be pressing down on him. On his left index finger, he wore a large boss ring, and on his right thumb, there was an emerald green stone ring. He lifted both hands to take off the sunglasses that covered half of his face, looking up from below, his nostrils puffed out with each breath, like a cow.

  "It's you!"

  "Zhao Tiejun?"

  Zhao Zhiqiang almost didn't recognize him because of his outfit.

  However, when this person took off his sunglasses, Zhao Zhiqiang's gaze fell on that very obvious scar and immediately recognized who the other person was.

  That scar is his masterpiece.

  It was because of this scar that he didn't even finish high school. His old man spent money to pull strings and sent him to join the army in Xinjiang, where he stayed for three years...

  Zhao Tiejun is an only child and the fourth in his family. He and Village Director Zhao Guangming are distant uncle and nephew.

  However, Zhao Zhiqiang from Guomu Gou is just a namesake and they are not related at all.

  Two people were in the same grade, class 1 and class 2, during junior high school. Due to a competition at the sports meeting, conflicts and contradictions continued until they both pursued the school beauty Dong Wanqiu. One morning, they agreed to a one-on-one fight, Zhao Zhiqiang struck with great force, shattering Zhao Tiejun's... As a result, both were expelled, and only then did the school beauty transfer schools, ending the matter.

  Zhao Tiejun coldly stared at Zhao Zhiqiang for a few moments, habitually rubbed his hands a few times, and smiled with relish. "Haha, I heard you weren't going to be a soldier? You even signed up as an officer, how did you come back so soon? Two years of being a private plus one year of contract? That's not right——Hey, Zhiqiang, were you kicked out?"

  In fact, he really saw Zhao Zhiqiang's file being sent back to the countryside in the rural armed forces department. Today, he suddenly met Zhao Zhiqiang, which confirmed his judgment. Although they are from the same administrative village, one lives on the mountain and the other lives at the foot of the mountain, different village groups, and after dropping out of school, they didn't have any contact with each other. This time can be considered as a formal meeting.

  Zhao Zhiqiang remained unmoved, his expression unchanged, his complexion still pale. "Zhao Laosi, do I need to ask for your permission whether or not I join the army? If I feel like it, I'll go; if I don't, I'll come back. What's it to you? Got any opinions?"

  "Idea? I do have one. I heard your family is having a bit of trouble now, so how about this: my company is currently short-handed and you've been in the army before, plus you're quite capable... why don't you come work for me? Three thousand a month, with food and lodging included!" Zhao Tiejun stretched out his hand, making a pinching gesture with two fingers.

  The little brother next to him immediately pulled out a box of black thick cigars, and the blonde on the other side carefully lit one up!

  What a fantastic score!

  Zhao Zhiqiang coldly looked on and said, "Thanks, but I'm not interested!"

  Zhao Tiejun saw that this classmate, who had never been settled for years, was ignoring him and completely disregarding his presence on the spot. He felt suffocated in his heart, but even if he now had enough strength to knock down that pale-faced guy, there was no excuse. Lifting his eyes, he happened to see Su Fengrong sitting on the sofa in the nearby rest area. Dealing with this kid was just a matter of time, and it wasn't urgent at the moment, so he turned his face towards Su Fengrong.

  "Auntie, you're here washing cars?"

  Yes.

  "Who just said something about fishing?" Zhao Tiejun looked around, it wasn't Old Aunt who said it, so it must have been Chen the Artilleryman. "Was it you, Director Chen? On my land, who dares to fish for your fish, Director Chen? Someone is deceiving you!"

  Chen Lijin also recognized the person as a local tyrant, a well-known new generation "big brother" in Chengnan District, who owns his own company and has a net worth of tens of millions at the age of 20. He has dozens of younger brothers under him and is considered to be doing quite well for himself. However, she had an ordinary impression of this person.

  She smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I'm just joking. I was going to make a bet with this little brother."

  Su Fengrong recounted what had just happened and then smiled, saying, "Tie Jun, look, the stakes haven't even been set yet."

  Zhao Zhiqiang tightened his military coat, no longer caring about the vicious words of the fat sheep earlier, nor paying attention to Zhao Tiejun sitting on the sofa smoking a cigar with an air of superiority. He calmly said, "Aunt Chen, do I look like someone who fishes? Alright, let's not waste any more words. If the buyer pays more than 200 yuan later, I win. If it's less than 200 yuan, you win. How about that?"

  "Alright! I really didn't believe it, you little scamp can actually sell this rotten wood for a sky-high price. In Linzhou, when it comes to carving sea lychee wood, my old man is an expert. I've been playing with this stuff since I was young, and I still can't tell the difference?"

  The gambler's nature was revealed, and she stood in front of Zhao Zhiqiang with sparkling eyes.

  "If I lose, I'll stake ten times what he's betting; if you lose—"

  Looking at Zhao Zhiqiang, he doesn't look like a rich man at all, what's there to gamble with?

  Her eyes began to wander over Zhao Zhiqiang's body, but he looked like a sickly person who would fall over in the wind. Her gaze then shifted to Zhao Zhigang, who looked very innocent... what could they possibly want from these two brothers?

  "Big Cannon, Xiaogang, you two may not have the stakes that interest me. But like this, I'll be the judge for you, and aren't you eyeing that limited edition LV I bought in France? I'll use that to exchange with Xiaogang for a month's worth of tutoring Yuyun at our place. How about it, Daqiang, do you two agree?"

  The artilleryman was overjoyed when he heard that he could get the limited edition that couldn't be bought, and smiled happily as he agreed.

  Zhao Zhiqiang also nodded.

  Zhao Zhigang whispered beside him, why didn't anyone ask him?

  How did it become a gamble in the blink of an eye? Brother, I want human rights...

  Zhao Tiejun got up and looked out at the rotten wooden frame of his broken bicycle.

  "Zhao Zhiqiang, you think this broken sea willow is worth over 200? Are you crazy? I'll take advantage of this to teach you a lesson! You broke my comb back then, now I'll slap your face!"

  Here is the translation:

  Having thought of this, Zhao Tiejun burst out laughing and turned to the three people who were making a bet, saying, "Old auntie, Director Chen, old classmate, I'm also going to join in on this bet. How about it? I'll put my money on Director Chen's side. After all, he and I have a cooperative relationship. So, my bet is that if Director Chen wins, Zhiqiang, look at the scar on my face - for three years, I haven't been able to find you! I just want to replicate it onto your face. But if you win, I'm willing to pay ten times the actual price of that wooden thing!"

  Zhao Zhiqiang's pale face gradually turned rosy. When he was in a good mood, his blood circulation would speed up and his body would feel better. He smiled.

  A fortune that has been delivered right to your doorstep, why not take a bit more advantage of it?
