Chapter 194 Making Money 2

Gu Qingyu's progress at the Cui family was very smooth. After having dinner with the Cui couple, Gu Qingyu got up and said goodbye and left.

When Cui Xia sent Gu Qingyu away from the community and returned home, she found that Lao Qian was rummaging through the gifts that Gu Qingyu brought.

Cui Xia looked at Lao Qian, who was sitting on the sofa moving things, and said unhappily, "Lao Qian, I never realized you had this hobby before!"

Old Qian looked at Cui Xia with a confused expression and said, "What do you know? I'm using the things he brought to get to know Gu Qingyu."

"Oh, do you see what's wrong?"

Old Qian looked at Cui Xia's expression, which said, "I'll just watch you perform quietly," and said, "You don't believe it?"

"Believe it, of course I don't believe it! Aren't I just waiting for you to tell me slowly?" Cui Xia said and sat down on the sofa.

"Don't be skeptical, just say that these two cartons of Zhonghua cigarettes were specially supplied to us, specifically for the top leaders."

"And this tea. Although there's no words on the packaging, I've seen it before at my old boss's place. It's a special tea supplied by Fujian Province."

"These things are not available on the market. For Gu Qingyu to be able to get these things, either someone in his family holds a high position or there is a master standing behind him!"

Cui Xia originally just wanted to see Lao Qian laugh, but after hearing what he said, she couldn't help but move closer and asked in disbelief, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course, how could I lie to you?"

"This...this Xiao Gu has such connections behind her? Then why did she call me from thousands of miles away to ask for help?" Cui Xia asked Lao Qian in confusion.

"How would I know? Maybe it's some youngster from some family who was sent out to gain experience!" Old Qian guessed uncertainly.

If Gu Qingyu knew that these two people could come up with such wild ideas based on just cigarettes and tea leaves, she would probably laugh out loud.

In fact, during this trip to Guangzhou, Gu Qingyu wanted to make a big deal. When she counted her savings, she found that it was still far from the scale she wanted, so she brought Chen Yuanchao into the partnership.

These cigarettes and tea leaves were all obtained by Gu Qingyu from Chen Yuanchao. Unexpectedly, they could play such a role in Lao Qian's affairs. It can only be said that it was an unexpected success, a coincidence!

The next morning, Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei got up early, packed their things, and went to the wholesale market with four bodyguards.

After thinking about it last night, Lao Qian became particularly concerned about taking Gu Qingyu to the wholesale market today.

Especially when he saw the four bodyguards following behind Gu Qingyu, with their obvious aura of veterans, he was even more certain that Gu Qingyu was the young man from some family who had gone out to gain experience, so he was even more diligent in introducing the situation to Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu followed behind Lao Qian and clearly felt that his enthusiasm today was too much. She just thought that the gift from yesterday had touched his heart, which was why Lao Qian was so enthusiastic towards her.

Gu Qingyu followed behind Lao Qian and listened carefully to his introduction, asking a few questions from time to time.

Sun Lei and the four bodyguards behind her were truly amazed. They were overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods.

It’s really like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, it’s eye-opening!

Lao Qian, as the leader of the wholesale market, suddenly took the young people around the market today and patiently introduced the market situation to them, which attracted the attention of the stall owners.

Everyone was thinking: I wonder who this guy is that he deserves Lao Qian to lead him around personally.

After Old Qian took Gu Qingyu around the entire wholesale market, he asked, "Comrade Gu, how is it? Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

"Our wholesale market not only has a wide variety of products, but is also well-managed. I've really been enlightened today!" Gu Qingyu complimented Lao Qian.

Gu Qingyu wanted to go it alone next, so she tactfully said to Lao Qian, "Brother-in-law, I'm really sorry to have troubled you to accompany me for such a long time today. I want to go shopping alone from now on. Before I go back, please do me the honor of letting me thank you and Sister Cui!"

"Why are you being so polite? We are all family!"

"Then you can go shopping by yourself first. If you encounter any problems, feel free to come and find me." Lao Qian said this in a very loud voice, and several stall owners nearby heard it.

After the two thanked each other, Lao Qian left first, and Gu Qingyu took Sun Lei and others to the morning tea shop next to the wholesale market.

After settling down in the morning tea shop, Gu Qingyu looked at Sun Lei, who was still immersed in excitement and hadn't recovered, and asked, "You've been wandering around for quite some time. What are your thoughts?"

Although Gu Qingyu wants to save some money in these four years, her main focus will still be on her studies and career.

Moreover, Chen Yuanchao's main job is a doctor, and he has no experience in managing these businesses. After this trade develops, Gu Qingyu plans to slowly hand it over to Sun Lei to manage. Now that he asks this question, it can be regarded as training the other party in advance.

"I've carefully observed the wholesale market here and found that the clothing here is not only diverse in style but also affordable. We can import a batch of summer clothes and sell them without any problem."

Gu Qingyu nodded when he heard this. It seemed that Sun Lei had really observed the situation in the wholesale market carefully just now, and this proposal was very feasible.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Gu Qingyu asked.

"Actually, I also want to get a batch of electronic products to sell, but the prices of these things are much more expensive than clothes, and we don't have so much money to invest in them." Sun Lei said to Gu Qingyu with regret.

Gu Qingyu said comfortingly, "Then wait until we sell this batch of goods and make some money. Next time we come back, bring some radios back to sell."

"That's fine! After all, this is our first time doing this, so we should be cautious."

Gu Qingyu was particularly satisfied to see that Sun Lei was not dazzled by the prosperity in front of him and was able to maintain a cautious attitude.

Since they had already discussed it, Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei didn't plan to delay any longer. After having breakfast, they went straight to the wholesale market and started selecting styles to purchase.

The styles that Gu Qingyu and his companions chose were all simple and practical. They did not choose any overly novel styles. Their main idea was to sell them quickly after returning and quickly recover the funds.

It took a whole morning for a few people to finally complete the purchase. They were mainly grateful to Lao Qian for taking them around in the morning. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of time just to argue with these stall owners.

After selecting the goods, Sun Lei didn't want to stay in Guangshi any longer, so she asked Gu Qingyu, "Qingyu, now that the goods have been selected, should we go back?"

Gu Qingyu thought for a moment before saying, "The smooth purchase of goods this time was partly due to Lao Qian's connections. We can't just leave without saying anything."

"Well, let's split up. I'll go to the Cui family to express my gratitude first. Sun Lei, you and a few bodyguards take the goods to the train station to buy tickets back to Beijing tonight. We'll meet at the train station in the evening. What do you think?" Gu Qingyu asked several people.

"No problem! Let's meet at the train station!" After making up his mind, Gu Qingyu and Sun Lei and others acted separately.

After Sun Lei and his friends arrived at the train station and bought their tickets, they waited for Gu Qingyu to join them at the station entrance.

Seeing that the ticket gate was about to close in 10 minutes, and Gu Qingyu had not yet arrived, bodyguard Zhou Weiguo could not help but ask anxiously, "Leizi, it's almost time to leave, and Miss Gu hasn't arrived yet. What should we do?"

"I'm afraid they were delayed on the way. Let's wait and see for another 10 minutes!"

Several people were anxiously circling around the goods. Fortunately, Gu Qingyu finally arrived before the ticket gate closed.

At this time, Gu Qingyu was carrying a big bag in his hand, running breathlessly and sweating all over his forehead.

Sun Lei looked at Gu Qingyu with a look of relief and said, "Sister, you finally made it. If you were any later, the ticket gate would have been closed."

"Let me catch my breath and rest for a while. You go in and check your tickets first, and I'll go in slowly!" Gu Qingyu said, supporting his knees with his hands and breathing heavily.

Sun Lei wanted to check in with Gu Qingyu, but looking at the more than ten bags of goods on the ground, he had no choice but to agree, "Okay, then we will go in and check the tickets first, you should come in quickly too!"

Gu Qingyu nodded and said nothing, but just waved his hand, asking Sun Lei and the others to go in as soon as possible.

To be honest, Gu Qingyu was really unlucky this afternoon. After entertaining Cui Xia and her husband, she was planning to come and meet up with Sun Lei and others.

But on the way back, when passing by the radio stall in the wholesale market, Gu Qingyu suddenly had an inspiration.

Since they plan to come and buy some radios next time, why not buy a few now as samples to convince others to come and place an order?

Once you open your mind, it's not just radios, other products like watches, jewelry, etc. are all possible!

So, Gu Qingyu took advantage of the time before departure and did not frantically purchase samples in the wholesale market.

After purchasing a whole bag of luggage bag samples, Gu Qingyu stopped and rushed to the train station.

It's just that her purchasing behavior in the wholesale market in a short period of time just now was noticed by someone, so she was followed all the way.

However, these people rode their bicycles very quickly towards Gu Qingyu, grabbed the bag in his hand and sped away, so fast that Gu Qingyu didn't even have time to react.

It turns out that there were motorcycle gangs in Guangzhou at this time. Gu Qingyu was furious when he realized what was happening.

Seeing the bicycle about to turn the corner, Gu Qingyu squatted down, accelerated, and rushed towards the bicycle.

The two thieves were about to ride their bikes out of the road and turn into the alley. Just as they were preparing to celebrate, the thief sitting in the back suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why were there footsteps behind him, and they were getting clearer and clearer?

The curious thief turned his head and looked back. Oh my god, how did this woman catch up with him? And the distance between them was getting closer and closer...

The thief was so frightened that the man on the scooter started to speak incoherently, "Faster... Ride faster! I'm catching up...!"

The thief in front was so focused on riding his bike that he didn't hear what his companion said. "What? What? Hurry up?"

"Ride faster! That woman is catching up!" the thief sitting in the back seat shouted loudly.

"What!" The thief on the bicycle was shocked when he heard this. He quickly glanced back and saw that Gu Qingyu was only about five meters away from them. The thief who reacted was so scared that he kicked the windowsill and sparks were about to fly.

Gu Qingyu would not give these two little thieves a chance to run away. She saw the dead branches piled up by the sanitation workers on the roadside, picked up one of the thick branches, and smashed it on the bicycle.

The branch hit the handlebars of the bicycle, and with a clang, the bicycle and the person on it fell off the nearby wall.

The two little thieves first bumped into the wall, and then their legs were crushed by the bicycle. Now they were lying on the ground, screaming in pain.

"Ouch! It hurts me so much!"

"Ouch, my leg seems to be broken."

Gu Qingyu took a few steps forward to the front of the bicycle, picked up his luggage bag, opened the package and checked it. Fortunately, nothing was damaged.

At this time, on the other side of the wall, Lin Zhao was chatting with his grandmother in the yard, and was suddenly interrupted by the noise outside.

"Azhao, please sit down first. Grandma will go and see what happened."

"Grandma, please sit down. I'll go take a look!" Lin Zhao said, and without waiting for his grandmother to react, he limped out with his crutches.

There was a creaking sound. Gu Qingyu looked and saw that the door next to him, which was originally closed, suddenly opened. From inside, a crutch hit the ground, making a dull "dong...dong...dong..." sound, again and again, neither fast nor slow, but steady and powerful.

After a while, the sound finally stopped, and Gu Qingyu saw a man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, clear features, but a scar across the right side of his face, walking out with a cane.

Although the man looked injured now, he gave Gu Qingyu the feeling of a sword ready to be unsheathed at any time, too sharp and dangerous!

The man looked at the two thieves still lying on the ground and screaming, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Gu Qingyu heard the impatience in the other person's tone, so he stepped forward and explained, "These two people stole my things, and I caught up with them and stopped them. There was an accident in the process. They bumped into the wall and got injured. I was just about to call the police."

After hearing what Gu Qingyu said, Lin Zhao looked at Gu Qingyu in surprise, as if he didn't expect Gu Qingyu to have such skills.

Since the other party was capable of handling the matter, Lin Zhao didn't intend to help. He nodded at Gu Qingyu and turned back to the yard.

Gu Qingyu was relieved to see that the other party had no intention of interfering in the matter. To be honest, she didn't really want to deal with the person on the other side.

It was because of this little incident that Gu Qingyu almost missed the train. Fortunately, he managed to catch it in the end.
