Siheyuan: Happy life of veteran drivers

Suggest?

Wang Hongtao didn't react at once.

After that, Liu Haizhong thought he had guessed it right, and said excitedly: "Second uncle knows that you, Xiao Wang, have a good relationship with the factory leaders, and the first uncle has been very close to you recently. Is there something going on here..."

"Ok?"

Liu Haizhong asked cryptically.

"Hush, Second Master, we can't talk nonsense. So, after we finish this meal, we can talk about it in private. How about that?"

Wang Hongtao said ambiguously.

Second Uncle, you brought this upon yourself, don’t blame me!

Wang Hongtao naturally understood what Liu Haizhong was planning.

He simply felt that Yi Zhonghai had been close to him recently, and he was close to the factory director. Then, Lao Liu felt that Yi Zhonghai was able to pass the eighth level exam because of his connections, so he also wanted to use his connections.

Who is Wang Hongtao? How could he let go of such an opportunity?

But he also knew that it was not a good deal to rush for something, so he couldn't be impatient now. He had to whet Liu Haizhong's appetite first and make Liu Haizhong lose his composure.

Just like taking a driver's license test in later generations, as long as the instructor lets slip that money can be used to establish connections, many people will rush to pay. After all, if you miss a big event like the skill assessment, you will have to wait another year. Who doesn't want to have more confidence?

Wang Hongtao's unfathomable look made Liu Haixin even more upset. The sumptuous dishes in front of him no longer appealed to him. He only wished that the banquet would be over quickly so that he could discuss important matters earlier.

As night fell and the shadows of the trees swayed, the Yi family's banquet finally came to an end.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone stood up, went to Yi Zhonghai and said a few nice words to him, then said goodbye and left one after another.

Liu Haizhong also took Wang Hongtao back to the Liu family as soon as possible.

After driving the kids out and closing the door, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to ask, "Can you tell me now? Don't worry, Xiao Wang, this matter today has only come out of your mouth and has reached my ears, and no third person will know about it!"

Wang Hongtao pondered for a moment, acting mysterious, and finally said helplessly: "Second uncle, I originally promised that this matter... must not be told to anyone."

"But since you've figured it out today, I'm not someone who would lie."

After a pause, he sighed:

"Hey, Uncle, you are really making things difficult for me."

Liu Haizhong suddenly had an idea, and his brain became brighter: "Well, I know the rules, and I will never ask about things that I shouldn't know!"

"Xiao Wang, just tell Uncle Er that I will be taking the seventh-level blacksmithing test in a few days. Can you help me... that?"

Wang Hongtao raised his lips and said, "Second Uncle, there are ways, but you also know that there is no free lunch in this world, and no benefits that come out of nowhere, so..."

When Liu Haizhong heard that there was a way, he immediately smiled flatteringly: "Hey, I know that! Don't worry, Xiao Wang, it won't be in vain. Just tell me how much you want!"

Wang Hongtao frowned: "How can that be called a benefit? That's called activity funding!"

"Yes, yes, the second uncle is not well educated and can't speak."

"Um...how much is the activity fund?"

Wang Hongtao's brows relaxed, and he tapped the table with his knuckles: "You know about that old man who lent me three hundred, right? I didn't write an IOU."

Liu Haizhong automatically thought, he borrowed three hundred yuan, but didn’t write a receipt, so it means he just gave it to him for free?

But isn’t three hundred a bit too much?

Liu Haizhong was a little embarrassed: "Our family's Guangqi is getting married soon, three hundred... can it be a little less?"

Wang Hongtao was delighted: This Old Liu is quite sensible, he just dug a hole and jumped into it?

Okay, then I'll give you fifty off. You really do look like an idiot.

"You are at level seven, so naturally you won't need that much. I'll count it as idiot. Is that okay?" Wang Hongtao took the initiative to give in.

Seeing Wang Hongtao give in so quickly, Liu Haizhong wanted to continue bargaining: "Well, Xiao Wang, how about two hundred? It's not easy for Second Master to save this money. If we can save it, we should spend it sparingly."

Wang Hongtao was not happy with this. He frowned and said earnestly, "It costs money to get things done, and it costs a lot of money!"

"If you don't spend money to get things done, who will do it for you?"

"Second Master, I'm not asking for your money today, but I want to use your money to do your business."

"What do you mean by should be spent and what should not be spent? I tell you that as long as the money comes from you, it is worth spending!"

"Of course, don't even mention two hundred, even one hundred or fifty is fine, but I can't guarantee the effect!"

After saying this, Wang Hongtao looked calm and composed, as if it had nothing to do with him, waiting for Liu Haizhong's reply.

Liu Haizhong murmured: Getting things done costs money, and it costs a lot of money. If you don't spend money, who will do things for you?

I don't want your money, but I want to use your money to do your business.

How much money you spend depends on how big a thing you can accomplish!

……

Isn't that right?

Classic! Absolutely classic!

After thinking it over, Liu Haizhong stopped bargaining. He set up a stool, took a small wooden box from the top of the cabinet, and counted out twenty-five big black tens from it.

"Hongtao, Second Master has given you all the money, but you have to do the job for him!"

Wang Hongtao collected the money and said confidently, "Don't worry, Uncle. Leave this to me. Level 7 blacksmith, right? Then go and take the exam. As long as you are not too bad, I guarantee you will pass it in one try!"

"Of course, nothing is absolute. I can only say that you are 99% sure you can pass this time!"

"Well, if you don't want to pay, I'll return half of the money to you!"

"Also, Uncle No. 2, I will definitely not admit this matter once it gets out of this house. Uncle No. 1 said the same thing. Even if you ask him now, he will definitely say that it didn't happen."

"You should understand this, right?"

Liu Haizhong nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand. Only a fool would admit that. Don't worry, Xiao Wang. As I said before, I will never let a third person know about this!"

After hearing what the second uncle said, Wang Hongtao finally left with satisfaction.

After returning home, Lao Wang washed his face and went to sleep. Nothing happened.

He just came out of the small dark room and the wind was blowing hard, so he didn't dare to go to Chen Xueru and She Lijuan, let alone Lou Xiaoe. It was a waste that Brother Damao was not at home these days.
