Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

Li Hanliang was pleasantly surprised, he never expected that Pei Shuxin would have such connections!

He needs help right now, and most importantly, with his current abilities, he can afford to hire experts.

So Li Hanliang didn't stand on ceremony, "Shuxin, I'll have to ask you for help with this matter. Could you introduce me to someone?"

"Don't worry, as long as he agrees to oversee Xiaoliangzhuang, I will definitely pay him more than the experts from Damazhuang!"

Pei Shuxin became serious, "If you have such thoughts, then don't do it."

“Hanliang, I’m not trying to scare you, but Senior Zhong has a very bad temper. He hates people who are obsessed with money the most. So at the beginning of the year, Dama Village offered him a lot of money, but he didn’t come,” Pei Shuxin lowered her voice. “Dama Village had no choice but to invite Senior Zhong’s apprentice.”

"Because of this, Master Zhong was so angry that he almost expelled his beloved disciple from the school!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hanliang couldn't help but feel apprehensive. "Shuxin, do you think this can work? It seems this old man is quite stubborn."

Pei Shuxin glared at him, feeling that he was being disrespectful to Elder Zhong, but she didn't criticize him too much. She just continued to whisper, "With me here, the chances of this succeeding are still very high, but you must not say anything carelessly."

“The idea you just shared with me is excellent. When you see Elder Zhong later, tell him what you just said—for the livelihood of the villagers of Xiaoliangzhuang, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, do you understand?”

Li Hanliang understood. This was just saying some high-sounding words, something he was very good at!

When he started his business, he encountered some old-fashioned guys, and he often used this approach to persuade them.

Li Hanliang patted his chest confidently, "Don't worry, this matter will definitely go smoothly!"

Pei Shuxin smiled gently, looking at his confident appearance, she felt that this man was radiant.

The distance from Anfeng County to Huaiyang City is quite far, taking a full three hours by car.

As Li Hanliang and Pei Shuxin chatted, they both gradually became sleepy. Pei Shuxin leaned on Li Hanliang's shoulder and fell peacefully asleep.

Looking at the sleeping beauty in his arms, Li Hanliang felt incredibly lucky.

To be honest, if he hadn't met Pei Shuxin today, he would have been like a headless fly, not knowing where to fly.

This woman seemed to be sent by God to save him.

……

Upon arriving in Huaiyang City, Li Hanliang first went to a private guesthouse and booked a single room to make do with the ambiance.

He figured Pei Shuxin was just there to buy books and would have to go home anyway, so he didn't book a room for her.

The two went to a nearby bookstore first. As soon as Pei Shuxin entered, she was like a fish in the sea, extremely happy.

Li Hanliang secretly touched his wallet and made up his mind. This time, he was determined to give Pei Shuxin a gift.

"Miss, I'll pay for all the books that young lady picks out later." Li Hanliang took out two ten-yuan bills and placed them on the counter.

This is a privately owned bookstore. The store is not big, but it has a complete selection of books. It is a place frequently visited by wealthy young ladies in Huaiyang City, and the staff are also experienced in such situations.

She glanced at the worn-out twenty-yuan note on the counter, then arrogantly raised her eyes. "If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. You country bumpkin, take my advice: someone like you can't afford to support a young lady from an official family."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanliang was not angry at all; on the contrary, he was amazed.

How did she know Pei Shuxin was a girl of status? Her eyes are too sharp.

“I’ve learned something,” Li Hanliang smiled, still resolute. “I’m not one to be stuck in a rut for long. Although I’m currently in a difficult situation, I will never mistreat the girl I love.”

"Miss, could you please do me a favor?"

The cashier stopped using the abacus and looked up to look directly at Li Hanliang.

Zhou Xiuli saw that Li Hanliang had a handsome face and a proper posture. Although his clothes were made of poor material, he was indeed a very talented person.

At that moment, her heart softened a little.

"Okay, since you're willing, we have no objection. Everyone's money is money." However, she still spoke in a sullen tone, put the money away, and then gave Li Hanliang a prepayment receipt.

Pei Shuxin spent a while picking out books, selecting a total of more than twenty, and then excitedly came over to pay.

Seeing her so excitedly hugging her beloved item, Li Hanliang's heart also filled with joy.

"Hey, slow down." Li Hanliang helped her carry some of it.

"Miss, how much is it?" Pei Shuxin dumped the rest of the books on the counter.

Zhou Xiuli's slender, snow-white fingers flew across the abacus, occasionally glancing at the book prices. Her long eyelashes fluttered, making her incredibly beautiful.

Li Hanliang discovered that women of this era are indeed naturally beautiful, each with their own unique charm.

He felt that he was always amazed by the new and beautiful scenery wherever he went, which was much more interesting than seeing women with almost identical facials in various famous clubs in his previous life.

"It's eighteen yuan and twenty cents in total." Zhou Xiuli finished calculating and straightened the abacus.

Pei Shuxin picked up her pretty little wallet and was about to pay.

“This gentleman has already paid.” Zhou Xiuli raised her eyes arrogantly, her gaze revealing contempt for Pei Shuxin.

She then gave the remaining money to Li Hanliang.

"Hanliang..." Pei Shuxin naturally disagreed. She quickly understood what had happened and immediately took out her money to give to Li Hanliang.

The two lingered at the bookstore counter for a while, attracting a lot of attention.

Li Hanliang had no choice but to accept the money temporarily and quickly left with Pei Shuxin's books.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thinking that Pei Shuxin was just too stubborn! Every time he tried to express his feelings, it ended up as him taking advantage of someone else's girl!

So, he spent eighteen yuan and twenty cents, but Pei Shuxin gave him thirty yuan instead. Well, he actually made a profit of eleven yuan and eighty cents.

After settling into the hotel, Pei Shuxin took Li Hanliang out. She paid for a taxi and headed to a villa community in the west of the city.

"The Zhong Lao you mentioned lives here?"

Li Hanliang was shocked by the scene before him. This was the place he had seen on TV before, the place where those important people lived and were protected by guards.

Although he later became successful, he missed that primitive era and thus never witnessed the power of that time, which remained his regret.

The taxi stopped in front of a simple villa. A young security guard approached, his attitude arrogant. "Did you have a reservation? Who gave you permission to come by taxi? Taxis aren't allowed in the residential area, don't you know that?"

Pei Shuxin rolled down the car window, looking at him with displeasure. "Brother Liu."

The guard, who was called Brother Liu, immediately changed his demeanor and said respectfully, "Miss is back?"
