Chapter 104 Under Inspection

Huang Yanqiu's mindset is completely different now. She knows that there is more than 50,000 yuan in the bags the two people are carrying, so she dares not let her guard down.

Gao Qinghe couldn't tell her that she had a system that would give her advance warnings, and that it was okay to take a nap occasionally.

But then I thought, the system might not be reliable either; at most, it can only play an auxiliary role.

If the system cheats her, then all the money she earned will be wasted.

However, since each person and the system share one life, Gao Qinghe believes that the system will not stand idly by and watch her walk into a life-or-death situation.

So Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu took turns resting.

I'll stay awake while you sleep, and I'll go back to sleep when you wake up.

Let's go to the toilet together, and when we come back, let's yell at the person who's taking up our seats and get rid of them.

They cooperated very well.

The train arrived in Shanghai that night. The two found a hotel to sleep in, and when they woke up, they started wandering around various banks, inquiring about the price of government bonds.

Prices here are higher than in Jiangcheng, hovering between 108 and 112.

Gao Qinghe specifically asked for the phone number of the convenience store near the bank and copied it into the phone book.

This allows you to remotely obtain firsthand information from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The next morning, the two boarded a train bound for Huicheng.

Ten hours later, we arrived in Huicheng.

After witnessing the prosperity of big cities, the buildings in small towns seem rather shabby.

But that's okay, the government bonds here are really cheap.

In a small county town under the jurisdiction of Huicheng, Gao Qinghe and her companion discovered government bonds priced below market value, costing only 98 yuan.

The two first bought up all the bank's bonds, then bought back from private sellers. After spending two days in Huicheng, they exchanged all their money for government bonds and then headed to Shanghai again.

On this day, the Shanghai Stock Exchange price of 112 and the average price of 98.5 for government bonds brought Gao Qinghe 60292 yuan.

Money is the biggest driving force, and Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu are both a bit obsessed.

The entire end of April was spent shuttling back and forth between Shanghai and Anhui.

By May, I had over 86,000 yuan in cash.

The entire month of May will see exponential growth in wealth.

Throughout May, Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu traveled back and forth between the two places twelve times, and at night, all they could hear was the roar of trains running on the tracks.

In June, when the temperature was at its hottest, the bag in front of Gao Qinghe was already quite heavy.

Carrying over 400,000 yuan in cash in a bag must be incredibly heavy.

Some people in Shanghai noticed that the two were frequently exchanging government bonds.

As the two were preparing to travel to Huicheng again, railway station security personnel took them to an inquiry room to check the source of the large sum of cash.

Huang Yanqiu had never encountered such a situation before.

He immediately panicked and his hand trembled as he gripped Gao Qinghe's.

But amidst the panic, a ruthless, desperate spirit was also revealed.

She had already planned it all out: if the inspectors said there was something wrong with the two of them, she would immediately take the blame.

It's better for two people to go in than for one person to go in.
Gao Qinghe was clever; by staying outside, she had the opportunity to come out herself.

Gao Qinghe noticed the subtle thoughts of the person next to her, and while she was touched, she was also a little nervous.

She had only heard that some people did this before, but she didn't know what happened to them during the actual process.

However, Gao Qinghe had more confidence than Huang Yanqiu.

She buys so many newspapers every day, yet she hasn't seen a single article that says buying and selling government bonds is a crime.

The cool air conditioning inside dispelled the stuffy, sticky feeling in the waiting hall.

The two exchanged a glance, then calmed down.

It turned out to be a false alarm; the inspectors only asked them to explain why they were carrying so much cash and where it came from.

Gao Qinghe patiently explained for over an hour before the testing personnel finally let them leave.

But because of this delay, the train was missed.

The next train is at 9:30 PM, and it's not a direct route.

Huang Yanqiu was a little angry, but she knew that venting her emotions wouldn't solve the problem. She cursed a few times and then calmed down, looking at Gao Qinghe obediently.

Gao Qinghe was also in a bad mood, but she didn't show it on her face. She stood in the middle of the crowded hall, looking at the large clock hanging high on the wall.

It is 1:05 PM now.

Then I turned to look at the private bus drivers holding signs soliciting passengers at the station entrance.

"Direct to Huicheng, 40 yuan per person, departure when full!"

He shouted it out in Mandarin, then in his dialect, alternating back and forth, until he was drenched in sweat.

Gao Qinghe looked down at herself; she had changed her clothes three times in the past month and a half.

Because she was traveling between the two cities, she booked hotel rooms in both Shanghai and Anhui, so she could hang her laundry to dry in the hotels.

So he didn't smell bad, but his clothes were very sloppy.

She dared not look in the mirror, afraid of being terrified by her current grotesque appearance.

Huang Yanqiu used to be jealous that she looked good even in a burlap sack, but not anymore.

Now both of them look like they're wearing sacks, suffering from dark circles and breakouts from frequent long-distance travel.

She didn't even have time to style her hair; her long bangs were simply swept back, revealing her forehead, and a baseball cap covered her greasy hair that hadn't been washed for five days.

Huang Yanqiu had been groped several times, hoping to earn some extra money to buy soda, but each time she failed.

As for thieves and robbers, I don't know if it was luck or what, but I never encountered one.

Speaking of this, the system puffed out its chest with pride.

It's all thanks to it!
Gao Qinghe noticed that she had been staring at the driver soliciting passengers for a long time.

The system warned: [Host, traveling long distances at night increases the chance of encountering danger by 30% compared to taking a train.]

Gao Qinghe was thinking that if they took the train, with the transfer time, the entire morning and noon of tomorrow would be wasted.

But the long-distance bus arrived just in the early morning, so I lay down at the hotel for a while to catch up on some sleep, and went out as soon as it got light.

Making money is truly addictive. Gao Qinghe secretly bit her lip and glanced back at Huang Yanqiu.

Made up my mind.

"You go and cancel the train ticket, I'll go and buy the bus ticket. Let's meet at the entrance."

Huang Yanqiu said "Oh" and took the expired train ticket to get a refund.

As for how much could be returned, Gao Qinghe didn't care.

She believed that Huang Yanqiu would not let her down.

So, while Gao Qinghe was haggling with the bus driver at the entrance...

A commotion broke out in the ticket hall.

A short while later, Huang Yanqiu came excitedly to meet her with a full refund.

When the two met, Gao Qinghe immediately gave her an admiring look that said, "You're awesome."

They missed their train because of the station staff, so they should get a full refund.

"70 for two, is that alright?" Gao Qinghe had lost patience for haggling and handed the money directly to the driver.

The driver looked up and sighed, repeatedly saying that he wouldn't negotiate the price with either side, but Gao Qinghe remained silent.

He had no choice but to accept the money, hand out two handwritten receipts to the two men, and pointed to the blue and white minibus parked in the parking lot.

"Isn't it a bus? How did it become a minibus?!" Huang Yanqiu shouted.

Don't be afraid of losing face when you're out and about, because there are plenty of shameless people out there.

Seeing that everyone around was looking at him, the driver coughed twice and lowered his voice, saying:

"Get on the minibus first, and we'll transfer you to a larger bus once we get outside the city."

It turns out this guy was a middleman, soliciting customers for others.

Gao Qinghe snatched the money back, threw the ticket on the ground, and then spent sixty yuan to find another reliable one.

The driver in the back was so angry he kept cursing.

But before she could finish her sentence, Huang Yanqiu whirled back with lightning speed.

Fearing trouble, the driver finally shut up.

After everyone had gone, he couldn't help but mutter, "I forgot to check the almanac before I went out today, and I ran into these two annoying bastards!"
