Zhao Dong has been a soldier for many years, and has very few friends left in Tianzhou. The only ones who can help are his comrades.
Finding comrades is easy, they are all life-changing friendships.
Some of them are from well-off families, and if they are willing, they can borrow even a million yuan or even a small amount.
The 30 million promised to Aunt Mei last time was originally planned to be transferred to a few comrades.
Now that Jiang Ying had the opportunity to make money in front of him, he changed his mind again.
Although relying on Jiang Ying's network, it is definitely not realistic to earn 30 million a month.
But if you can earn more now, you can borrow less when you open your mouth to your comrades again.
In the final analysis, it's all about face. If you don't have to, you really don't want to open your mouth and ask for help.
But there was nothing he could do. Aunt Mei was trying to bully her that day, and if he didn't bite the bullet and agree, Sophie might not be able to withstand the pressure at home, and the two of them might not be able to escape the end of parting ways.
But now, Zhao Dong has no intention of talking to his comrades.
After thinking about it for a moment, she called Tang Rou.
The call was quickly connected, and Tang Rou's impatient voice came from inside, "My surname is Zhao, please excuse me. I helped you last time and you haven't returned the favor yet!"
After several contacts, her opinion of Zhao Dong changed, but it only stayed at the level where she didn't dislike him, and there was nothing else to talk about.
Helping him get the surveillance video yesterday was an act of kindness and justice.
Help him again?
Tang Rou didn't realize that this guy had such a big reputation with her.
Zhao Dong got straight to the point, "I'm just here to return the favor!"
Tang Rou scorned, "Come here, I have the final say in returning favors. I helped you get that video last time. Do you know how much it cost me? I just let you return it so casually. What a dream!"
"That's right. I still have a word at home. Are you interested?"
"Master Tuxue's?"
"That's right!"
Tang Rou was suspicious, "Zhao Dong, you lied to me. Didn't you say last time that the second couplet was the last piece of the collection?"
Zhao Dong explained randomly, "Well, I went through the bottom of the box a few days ago and found another pair."
Tang Rou was hysterical, "Holy shit, Zhao, tell me clearly, what kind of relationship do your parents have with Master Tuxue? Why do you have so much inventory at home?"
How could Zhao Dong tell her this? He said directly: "There is so much nonsense, just say whether you want it or not?"
Tang Rou became more energetic, "Yes, of course I want it!"
Since the last time, she helped Grandpa Sui get the second couplet of the longevity pair.
The two old men stopped fighting and showed off in the circle when they had nothing to do. In the end, I don’t know who made the mistake.
So much so that in the past two days, people often came to Tang Rou to seek help.
Moreover, they are all uncles and uncles, so it is difficult to refuse that kind of person.
However, Zhao Dong said last time that those two paintings were the only ones left in the collection at home, so she had no choice but to decline politely.
The result was not good, she had just rejected the offer, and Zhao Dong actually said that he had found another one?
Tang Rou once investigated Zhao Dong's family background, not for any other purpose, but mainly because she was curious about Master Taxue's identity.
The final result of the investigation was naturally nothing. Otherwise, she would have asked Zhao Dong to find out.
Zhao Dong didn't know the inside story and said bluntly: "Last time you said... Master Taxue's works are very popular in the collection world?"
"Zhao, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting. I'm asking you to do me a favor. Let me put this work up for sale. I only need one million, and the rest will be treated as a favor to you!"
Tang Rou said in a disgusting tone, "Zhao Dong, I thought you were a pervert, but it turns out you are also full of copper odor!"
Zhao Dong didn't think there was anything wrong and asked as he should, "Do you have a question?"
Tang Rou sneered, "No problem, I guess I got the wrong person!"
The more she talked, the angrier she became, "Master Taxue gave the collection to your elders. It was a courtesy and friendship. I didn't expect you to take it out and sell it? It's simply a defilement!"
Zhao Dong laughed angrily at her, "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't take over, I will go find the auction house myself."
"How dare you! In this case, I will go and get it tonight..."
"Is there any need to be in such a hurry?"
"Worry, Master Tuxue's works will be stained even if they are left in your hands for a day!"
Zhao Dong did not defend himself, "Okay, then come over in the evening, around nine o'clock!"
Tang Rou warned, "As promised in advance, I'm just asking in the circle for you how much it can be sold for, but I can't give you a guarantee!"
Zhao Dong said with an indifferent expression, "I only want one million, more or less depends on your ability!"
Tang Rou was surprised, "Zhao Dong, do you trust me so much? If I sell it for a sky-high price, don't regret it!"
Zhao Dong joked, "I don't regret it. The friendship between us cannot be measured by money!"
Tang Rou rolled her eyes and said sarcastically: "Bah, who has friendship with you? Shut your stinky mouth!"
Zhao Dong was used to having fights with her, but if the two of them talked normally, he would feel uncomfortable.
…
At the same time, Brother Li and Sister-in-law Li knocked on the door carrying a bunch of nutritional supplements.
Mother Zhao is still surprised. It’s not time to get off work, who could it be?
When I opened the door and took a look, I was slightly stunned.
"Aunt Zhao, the two of us were ignorant and didn't go to the hospital to visit you yesterday. Are you okay?"
Mother Zhao let the two of them into the house, "It's okay, come in and sit down."
After a few words of greeting, Sister-in-law Li went straight to the topic, "Aunt Zhao, I was also blamed for what happened yesterday. Can you please stop sending us away?"
"We have been working here for several years and have feelings for each other. If you really kick us out, you won't be able to find a suitable place for a while..."
Mother Zhao was surprised, "Shooing you away? What do you mean?"
Sister-in-law Li smiled bitterly and explained what happened.
Mother Zhao suddenly realized, "So that's what happened."
Brother Li also apologized, "Auntie, all the mistakes are my fault alone. You don't remember the faults of villains. Don't care about us!"
Mother Zhao softened her tone and said, "We have been neighbors for several years. Needless to say, you did go too far this time!"
Sister-in-law Li apologized, "Auntie, what you taught me is that I really didn't expect Miao Daqing to be so courageous that he dared to attack you..."
Mother Zhao interrupted, "That's not what I'm talking about, I'm talking about Xiao Dan."
"You're a pretty grown-up girl. She came to the city to join you all alone. If you can, just pull her. If you can't pull her, you can't push her into the fire pit. What's more, she's still a biological sister!"
Brother Li's cheeks felt hot when he heard this, and he didn't dare to defend himself.
Mother Zhao declined politely: "Since Xiaodong is the one who started this matter, you should go talk to him. I can't help you."
Sister-in-law Li still wanted to defend herself, "Aunt Zhao..."
Brother Li hurriedly stopped him, "Okay, Aunt Zhao, then we won't disturb you!"
Back in the store, Mrs. Li complained, "Why did you stop me just now?"
Brother Li explained, "Haven't you heard yet? Aunt Zhao doesn't want to have differences with her family because of our family's affairs, so Zhao Dongsong has to speak out."
Sister-in-law Li was angry, "Aunt Zhao dotes on him so much? For such a big thing, if he Zhao Dong said a word, we have to pack up and get out?"
"It's just your own fault!"
"The Zhao family has eaten our rent for several years, why should I leave when they let me go? No!"
"What do you want to do? Don't be confused!"
"Don't worry!"
Brother Li wanted to persuade her again, but Sister-in-law Li had already turned around and entered the kitchen.
