"I don't think so. If I were the old Xiao Chen, it would be possible for me to pursue her. But now … I am still living under someone else's roof. If I get a girlfriend, where will I live?" Xiao Chen shrugged and said.
"Ah, I say, Young Master Xiao, your thoughts are not pure. Do you want to live with a girlfriend?" Tang Tang joked after listening.
Xiao Chen's face suddenly turned red. He was just influenced by others and thought that he should live with a girlfriend. But in fact, he was still a virgin. "I just said it casually. Would you believe it if I said that I have never had a girlfriend before?"
"Who would believe it? I have heard of your reputation from far away, Xiao Chen." Tang Tang curled her lips. Obviously, she did not believe Xiao Chen's words.
"…" Xiao Chen was a little speechless. Was his image that bad before? It seemed that his disguise was quite successful. But … why did someone still target him after he succeeded?
Lou Zhenming was not a big deal in Xiao Chen's eyes. What troubled Xiao Chen most was that invisible big hand. Was it a person, a group of people, or an organization? Was it a coincidence that his father disappeared, or was there something related to it?
As soon as he arrived at the school, Xiao Chen received a text message from Miss Jin. "Jingxuan and Chen Jinpeng will come to ask me and Beibei to go out to play tonight. Will you come?"
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. Chen Jinpeng had just been tricked. Did he come to ask for trouble again? However, it did not matter whether he went or not. Chen Jinpeng could not do anything to Miss Jin and Beibei. Instead, Xiao Chen was very worried about Chen Jinpeng's safety.
"I won't go." Xiao Chen replied. He planned to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine tonight.
Soon, Miss Jin's text message came again. "Beibei said that he wants you to go back with him tonight. His grandpa is looking for you."
"Old Master Jin is looking for me?" Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that he had promised Old Master Jin to treat him. He was so busy at home that he forgot about it! However, since he had promised, he had to do it. So, he replied, "Okay, but I have to go home to get some medicine first."
As soon as Xiao Chen pressed the send button, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and found it was Chen Jinpeng. It surprised Xiao Chen a little, but he still picked up the phone. "Little brother, what do you want to talk to your boss?"
"Hehe, here's the thing. My new boss, Cao Yuliang, is going to invite you, my old boss, to dinner tonight. Jingxuan is going too. She also invited Cheng Mengying and Jin Beibei. Do you want to come with us?"
"Cao't. Cao't. Liang?" "Does this guy feel that he has lost his face in front of Shen Jingxuan after being tricked by Jin Beibei last time? So, he invites Cao Yuliang to humiliate me tonight."
However, Xiao Chen had planned to go. Now that Chen Jinpeng invited him, he was not in a hurry to agree. Instead, he said, "Pengzi, I have to make money tonight. You know, I'm very short of money now. Cheng Mengying doesn't pay me. I have to make money by myself. I plan to go to the night market tonight …"
"Uh …" Chen Jinpeng didn't expect that Xiao Chen would say so. He had given Xiao Chen enough face on the phone before. According to Xiao Chen's arrogant character, he would definitely agree. Unexpectedly, he wanted to set up a stall!
It seemed that time was a butcher's knife. Even the most awesome childe had to lower his head in the face of poverty! If he had seen Xiao Chen lower his head in the past, he would have been very happy. But today, it was Cao Yuliang who ordered him to invite Xiao Chen. If he couldn't accomplish the task, how could he explain it to Cao Yuliang?
Last time, when Chen Jinpeng lost his car and went back in Cao Yuliang's car, they talked about Xiao Chen on the way back. When they mentioned that Xiao Chen came to dinner with Cheng Mengying, Chen Jinpeng said that Xiao Chen was living in his own fantasy and was fooled by Jin Beibei, Cao Yuliang didn't take it seriously.
However, after Cao Yuliang went back, he felt that something was wrong the more he thought about it! Jin Beibei was famous for being mean to the childes of the aristocratic families. How could she be in the mood to fool around with Xiao Chen? If she were to fool around with Xiao Chen, she would have killed Xiao Chen a long time ago. Just like Chen Jinpeng, he lost his car after one dinner, but Xiao Chen was still intact?
Of course, Cao Yuliang couldn't rule out the possibility that Jin Beibei wanted to keep Xiao Chen around for fun. However, Cao Yuliang just couldn't be reassured. He wanted to personally invite Xiao Chen and Jin Beibei out to take a look. He wanted to see if Jin Beibei was really fooling around with Xiao Chen or if there was something fishy going on between the two of them.
"Pengzi, if there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I just finished the morning market and have to go to class!" Xiao Chen said impatiently.
"Wait!" How could Chen Jinpeng let Xiao Chen hang up? He said hurriedly, "Xiao Chen, how much money can you make in the night market?"
"Oh, when it's good, it should be around 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, right?" Xiao Chen said.
"100,000 or 80,000 yuan?" Chen Jinpeng was stunned. How could he make so much money? But then he realized that Xiao Chen wanted to trick him! Damn it. This guy has been with Jin Beibei for a long time. Although he didn't learn anything else, he was quite good at tricking people. "Xiao Chen, 80,000 or 80,000 yuan in the night market …"
"That's not impossible. For example, the youtiao I made was delicious, and a rich person ate it. It's very possible that he would tip me a hundred or eighty thousand!" Xiao Chen said seriously.
"…" Chen Jinpeng's mouth twitched. Tipped you? Do you want me to vote for you once more? Chen Jinpeng had been reading a novel called Campus Belle's Bodyguard these days, so he knew about tipping and monthly tickets. But he couldn't say it. If he said it, Xiao Chen would be angry and stop coming, and he would be screwed! He had no choice but to say, "Xiao Chen, why don't you come? I'll give you 100,000 yuan as a gift from me!"
"Oh … But you know, if I don't open the stall today, those customers can't find me, and they won't come next time. Closing the stall will hurt the customers. "Xiao Chen said in a bitter tone.
"… How about 150,000 yuan?" Chen Jinpeng curled his lips and thought, "Now Xiao Chen is so down and out. 150,000 yuan is not a small amount, but it's nothing for Xiao Chen in the past."
"Okay. I'll do you a favor. I'll ask Tang Tang to open the stall, and I'll earn some appearance fees!" Xiao Chen said reluctantly.
"Damn it! If Tang Tang goes to open the stall, how can you hurt the customers? Appearance fees? Do you think you're a big star? " But since Xiao Chen agreed to come, Chen Jinpeng didn't want to make trouble, so he just said, "See you tonight. Will you come with Cheng Mengying and the others?"
"I'll see," Xiao Chen said.
"Okay … Xiao Chen, I won't bother you!" With that, Chen Jinpeng hung up the phone, cursed Xiao Chen's treachery and greed, and hurried to report to Cao Yuliang.
The day passed quickly. When school was over, Xiao Chen and Jin Beibei borrowed a car and went home to get the medicine. In fact, they went to the pharmacy to buy some medicinal materials on the way.
Anyway, they had to wait for Shen Jingxuan and the others at the school gate for a while, so they were not in a hurry.
Xiao Chen parked the car in front of the pharmacy and walked into the pharmacy. Hong Yan looked up and saw Xiao Chen, wrinkling her nose at him.
Obviously, she was on guard against Xiao Chen, who read romance novels, Jin Ping Mei. Seeing Hong Yan, Xiao Chen didn't have the enthusiasm in the past, and he didn't know what he did to provoke her, but he still said politely, "I'm here to buy medicine. Is the old grandpa here?"
"Oh, Grandpa, someone is looking for me!" Hong Yan picked up the book and continued to read, ignoring Xiao Chen.
Grandpa Chen came out from the back. Seeing Xiao Chen, he nodded to him. He was used to the frequency of Xiao Chen's visit every two or three days, "What medicine do you want this time?"
"The same medicine as last time," Xiao Chen said.
"The same medicine as last time, but this time, I can't sell it at the same price. It's too cheap, and I can't explain it to the boss at the headquarters." Grandpa Chen said, "This time, I can only give you a 50% discount, and charge you 500,000 yuan."
"What? Five hundred thousand yuan? " Xiao Chen was shocked. He thought that the 1.9 million yuan he had could support him for a long time. Who would have thought that a medicine with a 50% discount would cost 500,000 yuan? Next time, I probably won't even have a 50% discount, right?
Why is it so expensive? It can't be that because I have become a regular customer, you want to slander me, right? Although Xiao Chen felt that this old grandpa looked kind, and he shouldn't be that kind of person, but as the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover!
However, he had taken care of me many times before. Xiao Chen couldn't not buy it. Even if he wanted to go to other stores to inquire about the price, it was a matter for the future. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and took out his bank card. He said to Grandpa Chen, "Okay, thank you, Grandpa Chen. I will pay by card."
"En, Yanyan, you help him to pay by card. I will get the medicine for him." Grandpa Chen nodded and said.
"Oh …" After Hong Yan heard it, she put down the book. She found the POS machine reluctantly and handed it to Xiao Chen. She didn't forget to glare at him. "Swipe it!"
"I say … Sister Yanyan, right? I … How did I offend you?" Xiao Chen swiped the card and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Who asked you to let me read those dirty books!" Hong Yan took back the POS machine and took out the receipt for Xiao Chen to sign.
"Ah?" Xiao Chen was stunned. Then he remembered that Hong Yan mentioned Jin Ping Mei, which made him a little speechless. This chick's thoughts are complicated. She treats romance novels as Jin Ping Mei, and she still blames me?
When Grandpa Chen heard Hong Yan's words, he couldn't help but laugh. He handed the medicine to Xiao Chen and said, "Young man, it's done. Here you go."
"En, thank you, old grandpa. Then, I will leave." Xiao Chen looked at Hong Yan's angry look. He really didn't know how to explain.
After leaving the pharmacy, Xiao Chen went straight to the villa. When he returned home, he took some of the previous medicine dregs and put the newly bought medicine into the electric clay pot. After setting the time, he hurriedly left the villa.
