Chapter 2927 Antiques!

Perhaps fearing things might get complicated, or perhaps because the Cheng family was truly wealthy, Cheng Jianjun, after dinner that evening, while the old men in the alley were playing chess and chatting under the streetlights at the street corner, took the money and went to find Wang Yue.

Wang Yue was about to say something when he saw Cheng Jianjun's cautious demeanor, but Cheng Jianjun just rode off on his bike.

The two houses weren't actually far apart, and Cheng Jianjun didn't need to ride his bike to get there, but he had been eyeing a bike with gears for a long time, so he rode it around the alley before finally arriving at Su Meng's house.

A few days ago, when Su Meng was strolling around Beihai Park with Han Chunming, she saw Han Chunming jump into the lake to save someone. She thought Han Chunming was a great hero and unconsciously fell in love with him.

A woman's heart can only hold one person at a time. When a second one appears, it means she has already given up on the first one.

Su Meng has only just started to like Han Chunming, whom she grew up with, so when Cheng Jianjun, who was a step behind, came to her for help, Su Meng was clearly a little impatient.

Cheng Jianjun, however, didn't take it to heart and even said ingratiatingly, "Su Meng, I just bought Wang Yue's multi-speed bicycle. Do you want to try riding it around a couple of times?"

Su Meng actually admired Wang Yue quite a bit after hearing that he had designed a multi-speed bicycle and even found a job because of it.

Unfortunately, Su Meng was always with Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun, and she didn't get along with Wang Yue, so she never had the chance to borrow a bike from Wang Xia and never rode one.

But because of this incident, girls from several nearby alleys who knew Wang Xia all had the opportunity to try out a multi-speed bicycle.

Several girls who rode it clamored for one, but unfortunately, it's not yet available for sale.

Under these circumstances, the multi-speed bicycle still held some appeal for Su Meng.

So, Su Meng, who had originally planned to ignore Cheng Jianjun, couldn't help but push open the door and ask,
"Cheng Jianjun, are you telling the truth? You really bought Wang Yue's bicycle? Didn't he only have one? What will he ride?"

Cheng Jianjun said proudly, "Wang Yue's house is too small to accommodate everyone now. Originally, they just built a small shed, but that was too inconvenient."

Wang Yue's parents were thinking of adding a small house and renovating the existing house so that the three of them could live there.

That's a lot of money. I took the money and went to Wang Yue's door, so he sold his bicycle.

Seeing that Cheng Jianjun wasn't just borrowing it, Su Meng felt relieved. She then spoke to Cheng Jianjun outside the house.
"Wait a minute, I'll change my pants. It's not convenient to ride a bike in a skirt."

Seeing that he had finally coaxed Su Meng out, Cheng Jianjun was overjoyed. He hurriedly said...
"No rush, I'll wait for you here. The bike is mine now, you can ride it anytime."

Although Su Meng felt a little awkward hearing this, she didn't dislike Cheng Jianjun as much as she did in the TV series, since Cheng Jianjun had found the bike she wanted to ride.

After changing her clothes, she let Cheng Jianjun ride her bike, while she rode a multi-speed bicycle, and the two of them rode together in the alley.

The alley was very crowded, and when Su Meng and Cheng Jianjun went cycling together, they were quickly spotted by other people.

Women spread the word faster, so the news quickly spread to many people in the alley.

As Han Chunming's second sister, Han Chunyan naturally knew what her younger brother was thinking, so when she went home that night, she told Han Chunming about it.

Han Chunming and Su Meng had only just begun to have a flirtatious relationship, and they hadn't even officially started dating yet. This sudden turn of events made him very unhappy.

So Han Chunming couldn't sit still any longer. He felt it wouldn't be appropriate for him to talk to Su Meng, so he got up early the next morning and waited at the entrance of the alley that Wang Yue always passed by on his way to work.

Wang Yue had already sold his bicycle, so he set off early the next morning. As soon as he turned a few corners, he ran into Han Chunming.

This situation was all too familiar to Wang Yue. Wasn't this exactly what Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun often did when they surrounded Wang Yue?
Although Wang Yue wasn't afraid of fighting, he still glanced behind Han Chunming and into the other alleys, only to find that Han Chunming was the only one there.

Wang Yue immediately understood that if it wasn't because Cheng Jianjun regretted buying the bicycle, then it proved that Han Chunming also wanted to buy a bicycle.

Han Chunming felt a little awkward under Wang Yue's gaze. He rubbed his nose to ease his embarrassment before explaining,
"Wang Yue, um, can you get your hands on a multi-speed bicycle?"

Wang Yue immediately understood that Han Chunming was thinking about how Cheng Jianjun had taken Su Meng riding a multi-speed bicycle the day before, and he figured he could make some money off her, so he simply said...
"If you want to buy one, prepare five hundred yuan, and I'll try to assemble one for you. If you don't want to buy one, then forget it."

"Five hundred dollars?"

Han Chunming's eyes widened like saucers at that moment, and he said incredulously, "Are you robbing me?"

Seeing that Han Chunming didn't believe him, Wang Yue smiled and shook his head, saying, "You can ask Cheng Jianjun. Anyway, this is the price you'll get now."

Han Chunming knew that a used bicycle cost less than 10 yuan, and even a nearly new one would only cost 60 yuan. Wang Yue was asking for 300 yuan for a multi-speed bicycle, a price that was really hard for him to afford.

However, Han Chunming didn't think Wang Yue would lie to him about this, since it was basically impossible to keep it a secret.

So, after thinking about it for a moment, Han Chunming said seriously,
"Get me a car, and I'll figure out what to do with the past. I can definitely scrape together the 500 yuan in two months at most."

Wang Yue had originally planned to assemble another one for himself, but now that he saw Han Chunming wanted one, he decided to assemble one first and then sell it to Han Chunming when he needed it.

"I'll get one for myself first, and you can just contact me when you need to buy one."

After receiving Wang Yue's approval, Han Chunming immediately ran off. He needed to go home and ride his bicycle so he could commute to and from get off work with Su Meng.

……

Less than a month later, Wang Yue spent money at the factory to buy parts and assembled two more multi-speed bicycles.

One of the bikes was given to her younger sister, Wang Xia, and she rode the other one herself!

Wang Xia was overjoyed to ride the multi-speed bicycle, but because she had to go to school, her mother confiscated the bicycle.

It wasn't really a confiscation; it was just that Wang's mother would ride it to work, and when Wang Xia rode it back home after get off work, she would ride it to play with her friends.

Han Chunming acted quickly, and soon he approached Wang Yue and actually managed to get five hundred yuan.

After Wang Yue borrowed the money, he gave the bicycle to Han Chunming without even asking where the money came from.
Han Chunming was originally planning to show off to Wang Yue, but Wang Yue didn't even ask him anything, which made him feel a bit uneasy. He rode the bicycle for a while and found that it was indeed much lighter than a regular bicycle.

Han Chunming was about the same age as Wang Yue, and recently he'd heard people in the alley praising Wang Yue a lot. He felt he had to put on an act himself, so he took the initiative to speak up.
Why don't you ask me where my money came from?

Wang Yue turned and walked home, saying as he went, "Where did you get your money from? Isn't it just from reselling things?"
Don't go around telling anyone about this. If you get arrested, you might lose your job.

Han Chunming was taken aback and found it quite boring. He still said defiantly, "Look at you. I originally thought you were short of money and was planning to take you along to make a fortune. Since you're so ungrateful, then forget it."

Wang Yue was too lazy to pay attention to Han Chunming. He could easily handle what happened before the new year, but he just didn't want to go through all that trouble.

As for selling these bicycles, it's purely to improve our lives. After all, at this time of year, if you want to eat something good, you have to spend money to buy it.

Wang Yue noticed Wang Xia's craving for food more than once when they went out together.

Wang Yue felt that his younger sister shouldn't be too greedy. If she were easily lured away by a few lollipops, he would lose face.

Wang Yue gave 200 yuan of the money from selling the car to his mother, and kept the remaining 300 yuan in his own hands, which he would use to buy some things when he came home from get off work.

That day, when Wang Yue passed by the alley entrance, he encountered a middle-aged man looking around, carrying a package in his arms.

When the man saw Wang Yue, he immediately approached him and asked, "Do you want antiques? I have a few Qing Dynasty tea sets here, would you like to take a look?"

Wang Yue originally intended to leave immediately, but after the man opened the package, he discovered it was a well-made tea set that he didn't own, so he frowned and asked...

"How much is this tea set? Just give me the lowest price, or I'm leaving."

The man held up three fingers, looking pained, and said, "The whole set is three hundred yuan, how about that? This is an antique, it can be a family heirloom."

Wang Yue rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Three yuan. Sell it to me or get lost, I have to go home!"

The man originally planned to ask for an exorbitant price and then negotiate it down, but he didn't expect Wang Yue to reduce the price from 300 to three yuan. However, he had bought the item for 5 cents, so selling it for three yuan was still a profit.

But if they could sell more, who would want to sell less? So he quickly put on a long face and said...
"Brother, your bargaining is too low. How about this, thirty, you only need to pay 30, and I'll give it to you."

Wang Yue was not going to fall for it. He just needed a tea set and didn't want to be the subject of gossip, so he prepared to leave immediately.

Seeing that Wang Yue was really about to leave, and knowing that the price couldn't be raised any further, the man gritted his teeth and said, "Three yuan it is, I'll give you everything."
