“Hua Zi, I’m suffering. My balls hurt just talking about this.”

When Li Zhenhua heard Guo Shugui’s wail, he felt an inexplicable sense of joy.

“Let’s think about how to go. You two are in such a small car.

If you encounter traffic police on the way, I reckon you’ll have to deduct points and fine.”

Li Zhenhua reminded Guo Shugui, who was also deep in thought.

He thought for a moment and then said, “Why don’t I take your borrowed car? Since that car wants to haul goods, there must be a lot of space.”

“Don’t even think about it. I don’t want the driver’s license that I finally got to be revoked just because I let you sit at the back of the car.

Eh? No, I really can’t borrow three rounds this time. My driver’s license doesn’t qualify for three rounds.”

Li Zhenhua was in a dilemma. It had been more than three years since he had stayed at home for a long time.

Which of the neighbors in town had the right car and where to borrow it was a mystery.

Li Zhenhua said to the equally distressed Guo Shugui,

“Alright, don’t think about it. I’ll think of something. Just wait here with Fatty.”

With that, Li Zhenhua left the courtyard.

They left the house and looked at the street, which was already occupied.

Li Zhenhua looked around and saw that the door to the town had also been pushed up.

Li Zhenhua walked towards the small supermarket that had just opened its door.

Li Zhenhua easily borrowed a car from the small supermarket. It was a Wuling double row car that the supermarket usually used to serve goods.

Li Zhenhua had a good reputation in town previously. In addition, his grandfather was often kind to others when he was still alive, and the neighbors were very harmonious.

Therefore, it was easy for him to borrow this car. However, Li Zhenhua helped to unload the things before driving it back.

Li Zhenhua had just entered when he heard Guo Shugui shouting.

“Just you wait. When the time comes, I’ll make you lose all your money.”

‘You’re a wicked fellow. We’re not on the same side.’

“You want to make money, yes, but you want to make black-hearted money and join forces with me. Then I won’t entertain you.”

Guo Shugui’s expression was ugly as he hung up.

Still a little angry, he raised his phone and was about to throw it to the ground.

A nimble fatty beside him quickly grabbed Guo Shugui’s arm and snatched the phone from his hand.

“Young Master Guo, even though you’re angry, you can’t vent your anger on your phone.”

He didn’t want to smash his own things. He had to make the other party lose.

You’re smashing your own things like this now. If others find out, they’ll definitely call you an idiot.”

Liu Xiaodong hugged Guo Shugui’s arm and comforted him.

When Li Zhenhua walked in and saw this scene, he knew that something must have happened.

“What’s wrong? Who provoked you, Guoba?”

Guo Shugui had also calmed down. Facing Li Zhenhua’s question, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

“Nothing much. It’s just related to my business.”

Sigh, I should tell you guys. If I don’t tell you, I won’t feel good keeping it in my heart.”

Li Zhenhua and Liu Xiaodong listened attentively. If anyone else was present and saw them.

The scene was like two onlookers watching a show.

Guo Shugui was about to tell the curious two what was going on, but he felt that the two people in front of him were up to no good.

Before Guo Shugui could say a word, Liu Xiaodong stopped him.

“Wait for a while. Don’t move anywhere. Wait for me to come back!”

With that, he ran away. Li Zhenhua was also curious. What was wrong with this fatty? Wasn’t he usually very interested in this?

On the other hand, Liu Xiaodong ran from the first floor to the courtyard. He picked up a long bench with a grinding stone in the corner of the courtyard and ran. He even casually took a small rectangular grinding stone from the side.

After Liu Xiaodong entered, he placed the stool directly in front of the counter.

He ran over and took Guo Shugui’s hand again, pulling him into the back of the big wooden counter. The small millstone slapped into his hand.

“Please begin your performance.”

After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, he ran out from behind the counter and sat on the bench with Li Zhenhua.

At this moment, even a fool could understand what Liu Xiaodong was doing. He was treating him, Young Master Guo, as a storyteller. In the end, he even gave him a small millstone as a shocking piece of wood.

“Fatty Liu, let me tell you, I’m not done with you. How can I have a friend like you?”

“That’s right, Dongzi. What you’re doing is really… I don’t know what to say.”

Li Zhenhua was also shocked by Liu Xiaodong’s actions. Previously, he had been talking about the onlookers.

Now, the two of them were like two spectators. Even though Li Zhenhua could not do it, he still gave Liu Xiaodong a thumbs up behind his back.

Guo Shugui, who was already very angry, lost most of his anger after Liu Xiaodong’s commotion.

His depressed mood gradually eased up with Liu Xiaodong’s mess.

Guo Shugui looked at the small stone in his hand and then at the two people sitting upright on the small bench. They were even more obedient than kindergarten children.

For a moment, Guo Shugui forgot his previous unhappiness. He became playful and slapped the small millstone on the counter.

‘Slap’

“The book replied, what words should I say after that?”

Initially, the two of them were still shocked by Guo Shugui’s operation, but he was not handsome for more than three seconds.

Guo Shugui then changed the atmosphere.

“Stop fooling around. Hurry up and say it. After that, we still have to go to the county city!”

Li Zhenhua reminded him.

Guo Shugui also put down his tricks and began to tell the two of them about him.

It turned out that Guo Shugui’s real estate company had a real estate competitor in the country who had the same position and similar quality of service.

The two companies, one in the south and one in the north, each developed on their own territory.

However, the market was only so big. It was always impossible to avoid meeting in the same city. From then on, the competition between the two companies became more and more intense.

Xiao Kai and Guo Shugui had known each other since they were young and were very good friends.

However, as they grew older, the relationship between the two of them was not like before.

The biggest twist was that his opponent’s father had sent him out to study abroad.

And the country where he studied abroad was still that particularly annoying Japan.

Ever since this person left the country and returned, Guo Shugui felt that nothing was right.

But he couldn’t tell what was wrong.

Finally, one day, when this person treated everyone to a meal, he said at the dining table, “How are you people from Jiuzhou?”

From this point on, Guo Shugui also knew why he felt that something was wrong.

His education had always been in line with socialist values. He really couldn’t stand the sudden appearance of such a value at home.

His childhood friend had called him just now. All his unhappiness came from this call.
