Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

More than a month has passed since I returned from Xuanzhou.

For such a long time, honeysuckle and bupleurum in Ping'an County were basically monopolized by Zhao Wenhao.

The government-run purchasing station did buy some, but Zhao Wenhao acted quickly and immediately raised the price.

By the time the purchasing station reported the situation, held a meeting to discuss, and waited for approval from the leadership, the first season's herbs had basically been purchased out.

Obviously, the efficiency of government agencies in the 80s was still very slow. This gave Zhao Wenhao a lot of room for maneuver and made him a lot of money.

Zhao Wenhao looked at the passbooks in front of him and smiled from ear to ear.

There is now a total of 48.7 yuan in his several accounts.

If it weren't for the price increase, which reduced his profits significantly, his assets might have exceeded 70.

However, even so, his assets of nearly 50 are enough to rank him among the top three in Ping'an County.

After all, the small Ping'an County has a population of only more than 40, and it is one of the country's poverty-stricken counties.

Not to mention 50 yuan, not many wealthy families can afford 5000 yuan.

As the saying goes, wealth is not to be revealed. Almost everyone in Zhaojiayu knows that Zhao Wenhao has definitely made a fortune. But how much he has earned is still unclear.

Zhao Wenhao was a low-key man, leading a normal life. Apart from investing 2 yuan to pave the road from the village to the town with gravel, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, not many people knew about the fact that the drug dealers from other places were being driven out of Ping'an County. Zhao Wenhao had already paid a lot of hush money, and he didn't want to become the public enemy of the drug dealers.

"Wenhao, take all these with you. Everything will be expensive in the provincial capital."

Wei Chunlan helped pack up and even carried 30 kilograms of rice.

Zhao Wenhao smiled helplessly, "Mom, you really don't need all these, they're all there. I can't carry so many of them."

Unfortunately, Wei Chunlan didn't listen and was still tidying up.

Zhao Wenhao was wondering what his mother would think if he knew that his savings had reached nearly 50 yuan.

However, Zhao Wenhao didn't plan to tell anyone about this secret for the time being. It wasn't that he didn't trust his family, but letting them know wouldn't help, and might even cause him more trouble.

It’s better to have less trouble than more. Anyway, they won’t be short of money to spend.

Just like Zhao Aiguo, he hadn't caused any trouble in the past month. Not only that, he had also taken the initiative to take on some of the work.

Of course, Zhao Wenhao will have something to say about this.

I bought eight packs of cigarettes to keep at home, and three boxes of wine.

As for pocket money, he didn't give much because Zhao Aiguo helped with the work and Zhao Wenhao paid him a salary.

Moreover, Zhao Wenhao knew that once Zhao Aiguo had more money, he would definitely go out to gamble again. He couldn't keep too much money on him, otherwise he would still do something weird.

When she was at home, she still had some control over him. But once Zhao Wenhao was not at home, it was impossible for Wei Chunlan to control him.

"Mom, I'm leaving! You don't have to see me off. Dagou and Mingliang will take me to the station."

At the entrance of the village, Zhao Wenhao waved and said goodbye to Wei Chunlan who came to see him off.

This time, I was gone for several more months.

The next time I come back will be in August when the second crop of Chinese herbal medicines is harvested.

"Wenhao, we both actually want to go to the provincial capital to try our luck."

Along the way, Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang finally spoke out their true feelings.

"Wait a little longer, there will be a chance." Zhao Wenhao responded vaguely.

It’s not that he is unwilling to help his two childhood friends, but he doesn’t have any good arrangements for them to go to the provincial capital right now.

He himself has only just begun to gain a foothold in the provincial capital, and he is still thinking about how to proceed in the future.

He was even thinking about whether to return to Ping'an County to start a business.

Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang looked at each other, somewhat disappointed.

Of course, they can also go to the provincial capital to work, but they know that working outside is not an easy thing.

If Zhao Wenhao is willing to help, they are happy to follow Zhao Wenhao and help him.

They can do anything, they believe that Zhao Wenhao will not let them suffer any loss.

But since Zhao Wenhao did not agree immediately, they thought they were in trouble, so they would not force it.

Zhao Wenhao got into the car and left. From a distance, he could see Zhao Dagou and Zhao Mingliang waving at him.

Next year, or at the latest, it’s time to start the next plan!

Zhao Wenhao thought silently in his heart.

The bus was jolting along the road, but Zhao Wenhao was already contemplating his future path and paid no attention to anything else.

When he thought of certain aspects, he even took out his notebook and wrote them down so as not to forget them in the future.

It was not until several hours later, when they finally arrived at the provincial capital bus station, that Zhao Wenhao put away his notebook and walked out of the station.

"Hey, who is that?"

Half an hour later, Zhao Wenhao returned to the Temple Street Clothing Market.

When he was about to give his sister Zhao Wenjing a surprise, he didn't expect that Zhao Wenjing was walking out of the store with a young man.

If it's just to accompany guests out, it's understandable.

But their expressions showed that they had a close relationship, which made Zhao Wenhao very surprised.

Zhao Wenhao looked from afar and saw that the man was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a well-proportioned body and handsome face.

His eyes are deep and bright, and he looks gentlemanly and elegant with a smile.

His clothes are fashionable and elegant, and the matching is just right, showing his pursuit of taste and attention to details.

In addition to his appearance, this person is also gentle, humble and polite, giving people an inexplicable sense of closeness.

Overall, this handsome man is not only handsome in appearance and well-dressed, but also very well-educated.

That calm and confident temperament makes people feel a unique charm, but also makes people feel dwarfed by it.

It was precisely such an outstanding man who appeared in such a place that made Zhao Wenhao feel inexplicably strange.

Especially her sister, who seemed to have a good impression of this person.

This made him want to find out the truth.

This is the Temple Street Clothing Market, a popular clothing market for ordinary people.

Judging from the clothes this person wears, it is impossible for such a person to visit such a place. The places they go to more often are large shopping malls,

But from his familiarity with this place, it can be seen that this person is quite familiar with this place.

Of course, there was also a possibility that the two had met somewhere else, and the man had come here frequently, which was why they were so familiar with each other.

Zhao Wenhao was puzzled.

However, he did not rush forward, as he wanted to observe for a while.

After a few minutes, the man finally left.

Even when leaving, he still looked back every few steps and waved to Zhao Wenjing, as if he was reluctant to leave.

Zhao Wenjing stood at the door of the shop until she could no longer see the man, and then she finally returned to her shop.
