Chapter 4 The problem of eating
When he opened the clothes in the master bedroom closet, he found that they were all branded goods, and there were also a few jewelry boxes. But they were empty, with only a few receipts left. It seemed that Xu Jun was at a loss, as he cared more about appearance than substance.

It was really difficult for him to steal the cables.

Looking at the Sony TV, Xu Mingyuan smacked his lips.

There are only about 300 yuan left in my pocket, which I got from Yang Zhi. If I don’t sell some of my belongings, I will really run out of food.

But the thought disappeared in an instant.

Maybe he inherited Xu Jun's good reputation. Even if Xu Mingyuan became a prodigal son who sold his property, he would not be able to bring himself to do so.

When Yang Zhi came back with two bags, he saw Xu Mingyuan studying the TV.

“I think I’ll just have to sell it…”

Although Yang Zhi was reluctant, there seemed to be no good solution at the moment.

"Brother, the cigarettes you asked for."

"Fuck, your kickbacks are a bit too much, aren't they?"

Xu Mingyuan felt a little sad when he took the limp Hongmei.

This thing only seems to cost two dollars and fifty cents now. Didn’t she give twenty when she left?

"There's change."

Yang Zhi quickly took out money from her pocket. Including breakfast and cigarettes, the total cost was less than ten yuan. She didn't use the extra money Xu Mingyuan gave her at all.

"Forget it, you take it."

Seeing the thin layer of sweat on Yang Zhi's rosy face and her panting, Xu Mingyuan thought she was pretending but did not expose her.

However, this box of red plums cost him almost one percent of his assets, which is quite luxurious when you think about it.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan had no intention of scolding him, Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing breakfast, Yang Zhi packed her things and prepared to go out.

"Brother, do you want to go to the detention center to visit uncle?"

"No, didn't we go there yesterday?"

Xu Mingyuan said without raising his head.

Xu Jun has not been brought to trial yet, so he can be given some daily necessities, but the evidence is solid and he has pleaded guilty, so he can't stay in the detention center for more than two days.

"Will you go together..."

Yang Zhi asked again weakly, but in a begging tone.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't act pitiful in front of me. Forget it, don't go either."

He is upset now and is not mentally prepared to face this cheap father.

"..."

Yang Zhi pursed her lips, her eyes full of confusion.

As an introverted and socially anxious little girl, it would be very stressful for me to take the initiative to contact unknown people and things.

After hesitating for a long time and seeing the time passing by, Yang Zhi finally clenched her hands and went out with her schoolbag.

Xu Mingyuan didn't have the time to think about the little girl's thoughts. He was just going to the detention center to deliver daily necessities, not to venture into a dangerous place. Did he need someone to accompany him?

After sending Yang Zhi away, Xu Mingyuan skillfully tore open the wrapping paper, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Then ignite.

The smoke is very pungent, and you can smell the chemical fiber smell of the filter through the smoke.

After taking a light sip, he held it between his fingertips and didn't touch it anymore.

Only when the cigarette ash slid onto his fingers did Xu Mingyuan come back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts, and he found a pen and paper to start making plans.

In his previous life, Xu Mingyuan was able to make his real estate company the number one in Nanxi City. Although he had good vision and ability, he also took advantage of the times.

But Xu Mingyuan, who has rich experience, has no doubt that he is capable of achieving a scale several times higher than that of his previous life.

However, the most important thing is that in his previous life, there was someone behind him to protect him from the wind and rain. It was thanks to the old man's assets and connections that he was qualified to undertake the construction.

It is not difficult to go from one to one hundred, and Xu Ming is also confident that he can go from one to one thousand, or even ten thousand. But now, he is stuck at the stage of going from zero to one.

Just with the three hundred dollars in your pocket?

He couldn't even afford the forms to register a real estate company.

Even if Xu Mingyuan has 300,000 or 3 million now, it would be difficult to succeed without the old man's connections.

If we really had 300,000 yuan now, the rest of the problems would be easy to solve.

Xu Mingyuan sighed. He knew which piece of land was going to be demolished. He could make several times the value of it in less than two months by trading 300,000 yuan.

This is not because Xu Mingyuan is discouraged, as there are other ways to make money. However, he always feels a sense of unspeakable frustration when he is asked to give up the business he has run for many years.

After all, a huge fortune was wiped out in an instant, and no one would be willing to accept this.

Thinking that he just turned 18 this year, Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but have a headache. The college entrance examination was less than a year away.

Are all high school memories really good?

Using up two pen refills every day is probably the nightmare of countless people. Even after entering society for many years, Xu Mingyuan was still frightened out of his wits several times by the nightmare of the bell ringing before he finished writing the test paper.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Although Xu Mingyuan didn't want to suffer again, after thinking it over, it seemed that this path was the easiest.

There is no better social circle in the world than that in college. After all, friendships in student days are the purest, and there are no people who are easier to fool than college students.

Occasionally go to a barbecue restaurant to have a couple of beers and chat, and buy a couple of bags of fruit at a roadside stall to whet your appetite, and you can gain a few hardworking, simple and passionate good employees.

The prerequisite is that Xu Mingyuan has to be admitted to a university, and it has to be a decent university.

Moreover, the senior year classes started early and school has already started for a week. If he hadn't taken sick leave, he would be living a hard life now.

"By the way, what was the topic of the college entrance examination in your previous life?"

Xu Mingyuan slapped his thigh, wishing he could slap himself twice.

He even forgot what subjects he was taking the exams for, so how could he remember the questions for the college entrance examination?

There are many problems at present, the most important of which is to solve the problem of food.

Finding paper and pen, Xu Mingyuan began to think about what to do next.

After a while, he quickly wrote down more than a dozen plans on the paper.

Although Xu Mingyuan's main business is real estate, he has many friends from all walks of life and has quite a few investment side businesses.

The simplest way is to wait for Bitcoin to come out, spend a dozen or twenty dollars to buy a few thousand coins, and then the profits you get in ten years will be a level that was unattainable in your previous life.

However, Xu Mingyuan picked up the pen and crossed it out.

If one really wants to speculate in cryptocurrencies, it would take about twenty years. The cycle is too long. Even the daylilies will wither by the time they are ripe. Xu Mingyuan simply cannot afford to wait.

After thinking for a long time, he crossed out the plans he had written down one by one.

Xu Mingyuan felt a little overwhelmed, so he lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then put it aside as an incense burner.

Now he is standing at a crossroads. There are smooth roads ahead, behind, and on both sides of him, but unfortunately he is bound by them and is trapped in a situation where he cannot make big money and does not want to make small money.

This is actually normal. He was acting like a big shot just a few days ago, but now he is worrying about his next meal. This is more painful than going bankrupt.

Unfortunately, Xu Mingyuan didn't have the capital to make a lot of money. So he went to the bank to borrow money? There was no need to even think about it. A student who didn't even have a job would not lend him money even if he had collateral.

It was almost noon when Xiao Yangzhi carefully opened the door lock and quietly closed the door.

Xu Mingyuan glanced at her and saw that her eyes were red and she looked unhappy, so he understood what was going on.

The backpack he was carrying was still full, and it seemed that he had not seen Xu Jun.

Although the police took good care of her, there were regulations and it was impossible for her to see them every day.

"Let's go downstairs to eat."

Xu Mingyuan didn't care whether she was willing or not. He pressed her head, turned around and pushed her out the door.
