The Landlady and The Amnesiac

45

Tonight they were lucky and didn’t run into the urban management officers. Maybe what Zhou Jianguo said was right. Their looks were quite attractive, so there were still quite a few people who came to patronize them.

At 10:20 pm, Zhou Jianguo notified Luo Bei to start packing up. Luo Bei swept up the sugarcane peels on the ground and threw them in the trash can. The ground was clean again and wouldn’t cause trouble for the cleaning aunties.

Sitting in the back seat of the tricycle, Luo Bei counted the money again and couldn’t believe it. He said to Zhou Jianguo who was riding in front of him, “Did we sell 40 sugarcane sticks today? That means we made a profit of 320 yuan?”

They arrived here around 7 pm and finished at 10:20 pm. It was less than three and a half hours, but they earned 320 yuan. Who would believe it if they told others!

It seems that those snacks like fried pancake, fruit skewers and grilled cold noodles that people sell on Weibo can actually earn thirty to fifty thousand yuan a month. It’s not just a random claim!

Actually, even Zhou Jianguo was surprised. In his estimation, selling 30 sticks today would already be considered a good result. “It’s really not bad. By the way, Luo Bei, did you say before that you were born with the fate to be rich and prosperous?”

“Yes, when I was very young, a fortune teller in the village told me so.” Luo Bei was now somewhat skeptical.

After all, what happened to her couldn’t be proven by science. She could actually glimpse into some people’s future. And the people she knew: Zhao Pianpian, Jiang Sihan, and Fang Jingzhou; all had a promising future. After that, she won 50,000 yuan from scratch-off lottery tickets and teamed up with Zhou Jianguo to start a business together. Seeing their business becoming more and more prosperous, the day when her share of profit would exceed her salary by several times was not just a dream!

Zhou Jianguo sighed, “I used to not believe in the concept of fate, but now I do. Whether it’s the unmanned store business or the sugarcane selling business, although the ideas are from me, I always feel that you can drive the business. Hey, why am I saying these extremely unmaterialistic words?”

Luo Bei hesitated, “Because of me?”

Zhou Jianguo nodded, “The adult goods industry is a highly profitable industry, but as you know, Chinese people have thin skins. At first, I didn’t think we would be on the right track so soon.”

He didn’t know if he had done business before, but he always felt that everything was too smooth, too incredible.

Thinking about it, he remembered Luo Bei’s lucky draw and her spooky fate of becoming rich and prosperous she was born with. A person like him, actually believed in it all. Was it really related to Luo Bei’s wealthy fate?

“You saying that makes me very confident. Actually, I have always felt that I haven’t done anything in our partnership. You found the goods, came up with the ideas, wrote the proposals, and even took care of selling the sugarcane just now. I just counted and found the money on the side…”

Luo Bei also felt that Zhou Jianguo could have done it alone, and there would be no need to split the profit with her.

Zhou Jianguo quickly said, “You’re wrong to think that way, Luo Bei. I really have high hopes for you. You’ll definitely get rich in the future and have a house and car, everything.”

“You’ll be the same!” Luo Bei patted his back. “Let’s buy a house and a car together, let’s get rich together.”

As they laughed and talked, the two of them returned to the urban village. When they parted on the first floor, Zhou Jianguo specifically instructed Luo Bei, “You’ve been busy for so long, go take a shower and try to be in bed before eleven. Get some rest and wake up early tomorrow so you can handle the work.”
