Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

“Depth of Field, why did you bring me here? Such a nice restaurant must be very expensive, right?”

"Let's go out and go home to eat. I'll make you whatever you want."

Standing at the door of the hotel, Jiang Xue said in a low voice.

Li Jingshen held Jiang Xue's hand tightly and said:

"I came here specifically to take you to this very expensive restaurant."

"Wife, you're usually so busy at home that you don't have time to go out shopping and enjoy yourself. Relax today and let's have a big meal."

"The food in this restaurant is very good. I brought Jiang Shu and Zhang Yunfei to eat there last time."

Jiang Xue was still a little hesitant after hearing this, and said:

"Forget it, let's go home and buy something to eat."

"No, we're going to eat here today. After we finish eating, we'll pack a few pounds of mutton for Mom and Dad."

"Okay, listen to your husband and sit down."

Li Jingshen pulled Jiang Xue to sit by the window without saying anything.

Next, Li Jingshen ordered a lot of meat and vegetables without hesitation, and took the initiative to prepare sesame paste and chives dipping sauce for his wife.

Soon, a sumptuous meal of meat and vegetables was served, and the hot pot was boiled under the charcoal fire, bubbling and emitting a rich aroma.

Jiang Xue was a little distressed at first, but when she saw such sumptuous food, she couldn't help but start swallowing her saliva.

The couple were eating face to face and enjoying themselves when suddenly a middle-aged man came in who was dressed neatly, had slicked back hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very learned.

The man stood directly beside the dining table and offered Li Jingshen a cigarette.

"Sir, meeting is fate. Have a cigarette."

The middle-aged man said very politely.

Li Jingshen frowned, glanced at the middle-aged man and asked:

"do we know each other?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I don't know you, but I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor and your speech and behavior seem like you are a very successful person, so I want to make friends with you."

Li Jingshen looked him up and down, and felt that something was wrong with this man, so he shook his head and said:

"I'm not interested in making friends. I just want to have a nice meal with my wife."

After being rejected like this, the middle-aged man did not leave. Instead, he pulled a chair over and sat down directly, saying flatteringly:

"Sir, you are so dignified, and your wife is so beautiful. You two are like a couple made in heaven, so enviable."

Hearing this, Jiang Xue smiled politely, while Li Jingshen remained silent and did not respond.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this middle-aged man. This abrupt approach to him seemed to have some ulterior motive.

Looking at the steaming hot pot, Li Jingshen glanced at the middle-aged man impatiently and said:

"I'm having a meal. If you have anything to say, just say it."

The middle-aged man nodded and complimented:

"This gentleman is really quick-witted. I like his straightforward personality."

Then he began to speak vividly:

"Actually, I'm from Nancheng City, and I'm currently working on a real estate project."

"Sir, you're obviously an educated person. You must know that the country's policies are good now, with all aspects open, so the real estate business is very profitable."

"What does this have to do with me?"

Li Jingshen said with a frown.

The middle-aged man said:

"I see you're a capable man, otherwise you wouldn't bring your wife to such an expensive restaurant to eat shabu-shabu on such an ordinary day."

"Sir, I'm currently in the fundraising stage for this real estate project. With a principal of one thousand yuan, I can get my principal back in six months, plus a profit of three hundred yuan."

Li Jingshen was delighted when he heard this. A 30% profit in just half a year, isn't this just a pig-killing scam?

Well, it turns out that in this era, illegal fundraising and pig-killing scams have appeared.

He sneered and said:

"If your project is so profitable, you still need my investment. Your aunts and uncles, quickly gather your money and invest it all in it, so that the family can become rich."

There was banter and sarcasm in the words.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, but he quickly recovered and said seriously:

"What you said actually makes sense, but our project has regulations. To prevent insider trading, relatives are prohibited from investing money, so we need to raise funds from the public."

"There's a 30% interest rate for half a year. I'm not kidding, if you don't believe me. You can invest a little less. Here, you can invest as little as 200 yuan."

"To be honest, we don't lack investors for this project. I'm only telling you this now because I think you have a good eye for it."

"If you still don't believe me, I can use this watch as collateral. It's the money you lend me. My relative brought this watch back to me in Hong Kong. It's worth two thousand dollars."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man actually took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Li Jingshen.

Jing Shen took a quick look and realized that it was a fake watch. He couldn't help but smile even more.

He simply spoke directly:

"Are you trying to trick me with a fake watch? You really think I'm some unsophisticated fool! Get out of here before I get mad. The police station is just down the street. If you don't want to end up in jail, get out of my sight right now."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face changed.

Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was not only rich but also knowledgeable, so he quickly put away his fake watch and walked out with his bag.

However, when he was about to reach the door, a burly man with a square face suddenly blocked his way.

"What are you doing? Get out of my way."

The middle-aged man took a step back cautiously and spoke to the square-faced man.

The square-faced man sneered and said:

"Wang Daming, you are suspected of illegal fundraising. Come with us to the police station."

As he spoke, the square-faced burly man took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket.

At this time, a thin man who had been sitting by the window drinking tea also stood up and took out handcuffs.

This time, Wang Daming was completely dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that he had been targeted by the police. He rolled his eyes and Wang Daming nodded and said:

"Well, today is my bad luck. I capsized in the gutter."

As he said that, Wang Daming stretched out his hands, as if he was ready to surrender.

The square-faced burly man smiled and walked towards Wang Daming.
