South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Hundreds? You're being conservative. It's more than that. He's currently working in Shenzhi processing small items and has his own factory. I was the one who funded his business in the beginning. I wouldn't dare to say how much more it is now, but it's easy for him to take out eighteen thousand!" Yuan Mu smiled and added fuel to the fire.

"What the hell! Tens of thousands!" Upon hearing this, Niu Dali's eyes widened.

You have to know that in this era, there were very few people who could come up with tens of thousands of yuan, otherwise there would be no such thing as a "ten thousand yuan household". Today's "ten thousand yuan household" is probably the same concept as the millionaires and billionaires of later generations.

"Why, you don't believe it?" Yuan Mu asked with a smile.

Niu Dali had a rich expression, but he looked a little unconvinced.

"How about this, if you really have an idea, then take some time off and go to Shenzhen. I'll give you the phone number of his factory. When you get there, you can contact him. You know him, so tell him about me. Hou Sanjin will take you around Shenzhen and his factory."

"When that time comes, you will feel the difference and what it means to be rich. By that time, I think you will change your current thinking."

Niu Dali didn't know how he walked out of Yuan Mu's house. All along the way, his head was filled with the words Yuan Mu had just said to him, and these words seemed to have magic, repeating over and over again in his head.

"Hey, Dali, where are you doing?" Cai Xiaonian had just come back from the toilet and saw Dali walking with his head down, so he greeted him. Unexpectedly, Niu Dali continued walking forward as if he didn't hear him.

"Hey! Dali! I'm talking to you!" Cai Xiaonian called again, but Niu Dali still didn't answer and continued to walk forward with his head down. It wasn't that Niu Dali didn't answer him, but that he really didn't hear him.

"Hey! This guy!" Cai Xiaonian shook his head helplessly and walked towards home without caring about it.

Niu Dali continued walking towards home. When he passed by Yao Yuling's house, he happened to see Yao Yuling coming downstairs to go to the toilet.

But Niu Dali didn't even look over there and continued walking forward, which made Yao Yuling very confused. Under normal circumstances, Niu Dali would definitely look in her direction, regardless of whether she was there or not. What happened today?

Yao Yuling didn't know what was going on, and she shouted out for some unknown reason.

"Niu Dali!"

There was no sound, and the other party continued walking forward, as if he didn't hear anything. Yao Yuling frowned, walked down the stairs, looked at Niu Dali's back and shouted again.

"Niu Dali! I'm calling you!"

This time Niu Dali really heard it. His body stiffened for a moment and then he turned around and smiled.

"Yao'er."

Seeing this smile, Yao Yuling felt relieved for some reason. This was the Niu Dali she knew. Just when she thought that Niu Dali was going to come over and say a few words to her, he turned around and left.

"Hey! Niu Dali, where are you doing?"

But Niu Dali didn't say anything. He walked downstairs quickly, went upstairs quickly without answering.

"Hey! This Niu Dali actually ignored me! Just wait, if I pay attention to you again, I will take your surname!" Yao Yuling shouted from behind.

Normally, Niu Dali should have come over to show his courtesy to Yao Yuling by now, but today he didn't have the leisure to do so. He was concentrating on what Yuan Mu said.

If you are too eager to take the initiative, you are just a bootlicker. This is the first time he has heard this term. In other words, if you are too eager to take the initiative, it is not a business deal.

Now Niu Dali wanted to think carefully about what Yuan Mu had said to him: should he go to Shenzhen?

He had heard that Hou Sanjin didn't even have a job before, but now he has become a millionaire. What difference does he have? If he really becomes a millionaire, will Yao'er marry him?

When the time comes, I will bring Yao'er to Shenzhen, buy her a house, buy her clothes and jewelry, and then have two more children. Oh, this little life is hopeless!

The next morning, on the locomotive of the Ningha train.

Niu Dali was absent-mindedly shoveling coal into the boiler with a shovel, but he basically didn't pay attention to it. He was still thinking about that thing: should he go to Shenzhen or not?

Because if he goes to Shenzhen, it will take at least ten days to go back and forth, and the wages for these ten days will be gone. Moreover, it is not easy to take a ten-day vacation, after all, it is just after the Chinese New Year.

"Oh my God! Niu Dali! What are you doing? You threw all the coal all over me!" At this time, the coal shoveled by Niu Dali accidentally flew towards Old Brother Wu, making him stand up and shout.

Hearing Old Brother Wu's call, Niu Dali reacted immediately, and hurried forward to wipe the coal dust off his body, looking apologetic.

"Sorry, Angkor, I was distracted!"

"What are you doing? Didn't you sleep well last night, or is Xiao Yao no longer interested in you?" Old Brother Wu asked while brushing off the coal dust on his body. He was not angry, and it was impossible for him to be angry because of such a thing.

"That's right, Dali, you have been absent-minded this morning. What's wrong? Tell us!" Uncle Cai on the side picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!" Niu Dali shook his head repeatedly, then picked up the shovel and continued to shovel coal into the boiler.

Uncle Cai and Old Brother Wu looked at each other. They both knew that Niu Dali must have something wrong, but since he didn't say anything, there was nothing they could do.

Now Niu Dali's heart is like grass growing, prickly and growing little by little. When the grass grows big enough, that will be the time for Niu Dali to make up his mind.

Northwest Military Region, the base of a reconnaissance company.

Zhong Yuemin sat in his office in a daze. More than a month had passed since he came back from visiting relatives in Kyoto.

During this period of time, he has been wondering whether he should tell Zhang Haiyang that Zhou Xiaobai and Yuan Mu are in a relationship?

He knew that Zhang Haiyang had been secretly in love with Zhou Xiaobai for more than ten years. Before, it was because Zhong Yuemin and Zhou Xiaobai were together and he had no chance. Later, it was because Zhou Xiaobai joined the army and he was still in the countryside.

Later, he went to the northwest to serve in the army, while Zhou Xiaobai was in the military district headquarters, so they had no chance to meet at all. As a result, he never had the chance to express his feelings.

But because the feelings were not expressed for such a long time, Yuan Mu, the latecomer, took over. She is now together with Zhou Xiaobai, and it seems that their relationship is very good.

"Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!" At this time, the phone on the table rang, interrupting Zhong Yuemin's thoughts, so he reached out and picked up the phone.

"Hello, I'm Zhong Yuemin!"

"Yuemin! This is Haiyang!" A cheerful voice came from the phone.

Hearing this voice, Zhong Yuemin's expression darkened again. How could it be that what he thought was coming true?
