Ever since Bai Su and Li Dong had a conversation, Li Dong spent less time in school.
Usually, other than attending classes, he barely stayed in school.
In addition, he had to prepare for his final exams and worry about the opening of Longhua. Li Dong didn't have much time to think about these things.
In the middle of January, the renovation of Longhua was finally completed.
After the renovation and the employees were in place, it was time to open for business.
It was less than a month before the new year. It was the time for the commoners to buy New Year's goods. The earlier they opened for business, the earlier they could make money.
On this day, after discussing the opening with Sun Tao, Li Dong came out of Longhua Square.
He heard someone shouting on the street, "It's snowing!"
Li Dong looked up and saw crystalline snowflakes slowly falling from the sky.
Li Dong was momentarily stunned. This was the first snow of the year.
When he had just been reborn, it was still spring. But now, it was already winter. Time really passed quickly.
…
It snowed for three days straight.
In three days, Pingchuan seemed to have become a city of ice and snow.
On the night of the Laba Festival, Li Dong received an unexpected call.
The moment he picked up the call, Li Dong was lost in thought.
The call was from Yuan Xue.
They didn't say anything to embarrass each other. Yuan Xue only said that she wanted to try and see if Li Dong had changed his number. She didn't expect the call to go through.
Li Dong didn't know what to say. He didn't speak much and was very silent.
Yuan Xue didn't mind either. She continued to use that cold voice to narrate the bits and pieces of her school life.
Li Dong listened to her happiness and sorrow quietly without saying a word.
At the end of the call, Yuan Xue suddenly choked up and said, "Li Dong, it's snowing! It's really snowing! "
After the call ended, Li Dong suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
He remembered what day it was.
Laba, snowy night, Yuan Xue!
Today was Yuan Xue's birthday!
In a trance, a scene flashed through Li Dong's mind.
…
"Li Dong, this is for you. Don't forget to return the favor on my birthday."
"F * ck, you want to return a gift for such a lousy greeting card? I don't want it!"
"No, you have to take it since it's a gift! Remember, if it snows on the day of the Laba Festival, give me a gift in return. If it doesn't, then forget it. "
"Hehe, then I've profited. It seems like there hasn't been any snow in Dongping for the past few years. In that case, there's no need to return the favor."
"Humph! In your dreams! There will be a day when it snows. This promise will never expire! "
…
That was the first year of high school. During the three years of high school, it had never snowed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in Dongping.
This year, it snowed on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month!
It was snowing on the plains, and it was snowing in the capital.
He had long forgotten that joking promise, but the icy girl still remembered it.
Li Dong couldn't sleep that night.
…
The next morning, there was an advanced mathematics exam.
After the exam, Li Dong stood at the corridor in a daze.
Meng Qiping walked over and patted Li Dong's shoulder. He sighed. "Don't be sad. Let's give a gift to the advanced mathematics teacher later and try not to fail the exam."
Li Dong snapped out of his daze and snapped, "Scram! Do you think I'll fail the exam? "
"Sigh, don't be so stubborn. I can see that you're not in a good mood today. Either you fail the exam or you've fallen out of love. Could it be that sister-in-law dumped you? "
Li Dong's mouth twitched. He said awkwardly, "Is it that obvious?"
Meng Qiping was dumbfounded. He exclaimed, "Don't tell me that sister-in-law really dumped you?"
"F * ck, your Cheng Nan has pretty much dumped you!"
Li Dong coughed and quickly changed the topic. "The advanced mathematics exam is over. There's only Ma Yuan left. Do you have anything else to do?"
"Nothing much. I'm just waiting for the holidays." Meng Qiping was interrupted by Li Dong and forgot what he was about to say.
Li Dong saw that Meng Qiping did not pursue the topic. He was slightly relieved and said, "Didn't you want me to help you find a part-time job? It's quite cold now. I'm not sure if you're willing to do it."
"Yes!"
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Meng Qiping immediately said, "As long as I'm not a gigolo, I'm willing to do anything!"
"F * ck off!"
Li Dong was speechless. This guy wants to be a gigolo? Someone has to be interested in him.
Meng Qiping did not mind. He said, "Brother Dong, hurry up and tell me what's going on. If I don't make money, I'll have to walk home this year."
Li Dong found it funny. This guy was really driven crazy by money.
Otherwise, with Fatty's laziness, he would have curled up in his blanket in this cold weather. Why would he want to do a part-time job?
Li Dong did not keep him in suspense. He said, "There's a supermarket in Longhua that is about to open. I need someone to distribute flyers …"
"Oh, it doesn't seem like the pay is high." Meng Qiping was a little disappointed. There were flyers distributed in school every day, but the pay was not much.
Although Fatty was so poor that he almost had no food to eat, he did not care about the thirty to fifty yuan a day.
Li Dong glared at him. "Can you listen to me first? Do you think I will look for you to distribute flyers like this? It's more likely that you threw it away halfway! "
Meng Qiping smiled. This was really possible.
Li Dong was too lazy to look at him and continued, "What I want you to do is to recruit people. In two days, you have to recruit as many as you can. Ten is not too little, and a hundred is not too much."
"Isn't there an intermediary to recruit people?" Meng Qiping interrupted again.
Li Dong said impatiently, "Cut the crap. Are you doing it or not?! I'll give you twenty yuan per person. If you don't want it, then forget it! "
Hearing that he would be paid twenty yuan per person, Meng Qiping's eyes turned green.
At this moment, he seemed to see countless banknotes flying towards him. If he could find a hundred or eighty people, it would be one or two thousand!
In this day and age, a coolie could only earn a thousand yuan a month. Giving twenty yuan per person was almost like giving money away.
"I'll do it! Brother Dong, you are my savior. I love you so much! "Meng Qiping came to his senses and wanted to hug Li Dong and kiss him.
"Good man, Brother Dong is really a good man!"
Li Dong pushed the guy away in disgust and said, "If you take over this matter, you have to be responsible to the end. If any of the people you recruit is deceitful, not only will the money be deducted, but you will also be fined. Don't hire just anyone."
Meng Qiping nodded quickly and said seriously, "Brother Dong, don't worry! I know you are taking care of me. No matter how stupid I am, I won't let you lose face with me. "
Seeing his expression, Li Dong heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, he didn't need to worry about distributing flyers. He could just find an intermediary company to pay for it.
But thinking of what Meng Qiping had mentioned to him last time, Li Dong wanted to take care of Meng Qiping.
A commission of twenty yuan per person was not low in 2004. If Meng Qiping had the ability, it was not impossible to earn two or three thousand yuan in two days.
Far away, the whole university town and even the whole Pingchuan were their target customers. More than a hundred people scattered in the Pingchuan would not cause a ripple at all.
Then, Li Dong told Meng Qiping a few things to pay attention to and asked the impatient Meng Qiping to find people.
