[TEASER] The Scum Gong Begs Me to Get Back Together, but I Just Want to Get Rich

20: It was only natural that Lin ChengYu found out

Lin ChengYu had seen Jiang Xiao's biographical data. An ordinary junior high school student, he'd lived in Houlin county all his life. He might have traveled with his father or uncle a few times, just like he followed Ye Bing to Liujiang, but he would have been away from home a few days at most.

Huaihai province, which was far distant from Houlin, had a unique dialect. It was so distinct from Mandarin that people who were new to the region couldn't even understand it. The version used in Liujiang was based on Huaihai dialect, but some words had different pronunciations. In fact, Liujiangese was even more difficult than Huaihai dialect because it had a more complicated grammar. It was absolutely impossible for the current Jiang Xiao to know it.

But Jiang Xiao in his last life did.

In his last life, Jiang Xiao came to Liujiang at the age of eighteen and lived there fifteen years. Many of his friends and factory employees were from the area. If Jiang Xiao didn't speak the local dialect, it would be difficult to do business, so Jiang Xiao worked extremely hard to become fluent. In the end he spoke Liujiang dialect better than some locals.

Lin ChengYu was by his side, and he personally witnessed Jiang Xiao at his studies. Jiang Xiao liked to pester him back then. He would take a small quilt and nestle up next to Lin ChengYu with a book titled 《Liujiang Dialect Quick Start Guide》, practicing the cadence and stumbling over the words.

In those days everything was full of noise and bustle, but they were two people climbing the ladder of success together. When the memories from these two lifetimes intersected, Lin ChengYu couldn't smile.

He instantly understood why Jiang Xiao rejected him so firmly.

With the memory of his previous life, how could Jiang Xiao have a good impression of him?

The stall owner sat at the counter, eating his breakfast and watching TV. He quoted several prices for Jiang Xiao. When Jiang Xiao turned around, he saw Lin ChengYu standing there. His expression didn't change. It was just like seeing a stranger. Jiang Xiao took all the goods he liked from the box, calmly walked past him, and went over to bargain with the boss.

The whole time, he was using Liujiang dialect. He didn't try to hide anything from Lin ChengYu.

The two of them had lived together for so long. If Lin ChengYu kept following him, he was bound to find out sooner or later.

Let him.

When it came to Lin ChengYu, Jiang Xiao's mood was unperturbed.

The stall owner wasn't his match. Every time he faced Jiang Xiao, he kept repeating "I can't can't say anything to you, pretty boy" and "I'll lose money if I go any lower". Finally he sighed and accepted Jiang Xiao's price.

Jiang Xiao paid the money and packed the items carefully one at a time. When he ran out of room in his school bag or duffel bag, he would sort his purchases into different categories. Things that were more expensive or fragile went into the bags he carried with him. Things that were sturdier went into a snakeskin bag he would stuff into the trailer of Ye Bing's truck. He had to limit the number of things in his snakeskin bags. If his purchases didn't fit in the spare space, Ye Bing would be in a dilemma.

He also had to consider the reality of the situation. Some goods, like the plush toys that girls liked, took up more space and earned less money. Even if there was a request, Jiang Xiao wouldn't consider it. The price his customer was paying for the school bag was high because she wanted a better model than her cousin. That was why he agreed to look.

As he accumulated more capital, with each trip he bought back more goods than the time before. Jiang Xiao was busy packing up his purchases. He didn't have time for Lin ChengYu.
