Chapter 290: Calculate Yourself Involved
"Son, are you saying that someone is plotting against him on purpose?" Li Aimin asked.
"That's right. Some people are planning to let him take care of their old age, and some people are planning to let him help raise their children. Tell me, if this is a bad person, will anyone let him take care of their old age? Will anyone let him help raise their children?"
"Of course not! Letting bad people take care of you in your old age means you are not dying fast enough," said Qian Guoliang.
"If he is a bad person, why would he help raise the child? What are you thinking?"
Li Jiayi looked at Qian Meilian and said, "Sister Meilian, let me put it this way! If you really get together with Shazhu, I can't say anything else, but you can only expect to have a good life for the rest of your life!"
"Ah!" Qian Meilin's face turned red.
"Add one! Are you telling the truth?" Qian Guoliang asked.
"Mr. Qian, of course it's true! This Sha Zhu is not an ordinary person! Even though his salary is not high, only more than 30 yuan a month, he has a lot of other income! He can just go out and cook a meal for others and take home both money and meat."
"Son, according to what you said, he should be a good cook! Why is his salary not high?"
If he can earn more than 30 yuan, he definitely doesn’t have identity problems like Liao Kai.
"That's because of this guy's temper. He's a bit jealous. There's a deputy director in their factory who is particularly bad. He's been beaten by him before, so his salary can't be increased. But it doesn't matter. Even the deputy director can't do anything to him. He just can't increase his salary. He doesn't rely on the salary to live. He cooks for the people above him!" Li Jiayi pointed upwards.
"Ah! Is it true?" Qian Guoliang asked.
"Of course it's true. The people above even asked him to be a private chef! But he didn't want to do it. Otherwise, they wanted to cut his salary for the few ingredients from the factory!"
Then Qian Guoliang looked at the matchmaker and asked, "Auntie Wang! What's wrong with you? Didn't you ask about the person you introduced?"
"I don't know about this! The old lady came to me and asked me to find a partner for her grandson." The matchmaker said helplessly.
To be honest, she really didn't know any of this, otherwise she would never agree to introduce him.
Who could have thought that there were so many beasts in one yard? If I introduce this to others, wouldn’t that be pushing them into the fire pit?
But from what the kid said, this Sha Zhu is not a bad guy, someone he can trust for life.
There are just too many beasts in the yard. If anyone marries him, there will definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
"Mr. Qian, I actually think it's a good idea for Sister Meilian to marry him. As long as she doesn't get fooled by others and treats this matter as if she were watching a play, there will definitely be a different outcome."
"Huh!" Qian Guoliang was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, it was indeed the case.
Then he turned to look at his daughter and asked, "Meilian, what do you think?"
Qian Meilian thought for a moment and looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Brother Jiayi, are you sure that He Yuzhu is a good person?"
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "How should I put it! It depends on your own understanding. To bad guys, he is definitely a good guy, but to good guys, he is just that. But there is one thing I am sure of, he will not lay hands on women."
"Then let's meet. As for the rest, we'll talk about it after we meet."
"Okay, this is your own business, you can do it yourself."
Qian Guoliang was still very open-minded and did not believe in the idea of parents' orders or matchmaker's words.
"Ok!"
"Okay, in that case, I'll reply and then confirm the time for the meeting."
"Let's do it on Sunday!" Qian Meilin said.
"Okay, now that you guys have confirmed it, I'll go and reply."
Matchmaker Wang was also very decisive! After deciding on a date, she left in a hurry.
"Brother Qian, since there is nothing else, let's go back." Li Aimin said at this time.
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner some other day."
"No, we didn't help much."
As the family was walking out, Qian Meilian suddenly said, "Brother Jiayi, can I ask you for a favor?"
"Uh! Sister Meilian, what do you want me to do for you?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.
"On the day of the Xiang family visit, can you go with me? Just as a brother."
"Ah! No way!" Li Jiayi had a black line on his forehead!
"Add one! Since you are familiar with the man, just consider it as doing your sister Meilian a favor." Qian Guoliang said.
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "I have never experienced this before!"
"Son, it's Sunday anyway, and you don't have anything to do, so just go out and have fun." Ye Xin suddenly said.
Li Jiayi wanted to say, who said I have nothing to do? I still have to go out and spend money!
But since his mother had said so, he couldn't say anything wrong, so he could only nod and say, "Okay then!"
Li Jiayi didn't expect that he would put himself in it.
But he was quite happy to help. Li Jiayi had a good feeling towards He Yuzhu.
And he was actually pretty good! The reason why many people in later generations had a bad impression of him was because they were misled by various Siheyuan novels.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magical modification.
In general, he is definitely a good person. For example, when Director Yang was punished to sweep the floor, no one dared to approach him.
Many people hated to know him and even said they would stay as far away from him as possible, and did many things to take advantage of him, but He Yuzhu did not do that. Not only that, he also helped them secretly.
To be honest, this was very dangerous in that environment, but he did it.
In this regard, he was better than anyone else, and he didn't refute it. Back in the west wing, Ye Xin stopped, turned around and looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, why do you know so much about He Yuzhu?"
"Mom, I don't know him very well, but I am familiar with the person who asked him to cook at home."
Li Jia started talking nonsense at first. Of course he didn't know the man, and his mother didn't know either anyway.
Sure enough, after hearing him say that, Ye Xin suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is! But being recognized by the people above shows that this person is not bad."
“It’s really good, the food is delicious.”
Hearing Li Jiayi say this, Ye Xin said unhappily: "You only know how to eat."
"Hehehe, who doesn't like to eat? Especially delicious food." Li Jiayi said with a silly grin.
Ye Xin was helpless about her son's love for delicious food.
She even suspected that the reason her son said so many good things about He Yuzhu was because he wanted to find a free chef.
It’s a pity that she has no evidence, we will only know this later.
When I got home, my eldest sister had already prepared breakfast. Since I didn't have to go to work today, it was okay to eat later.
After dinner, Li Jiayi drove out on his tricycle.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Jiaodaokou. Since he was going to the trust store to buy things, it didn't matter where he went.
As for why he came here, Li Jiayi didn't know.
Arriving at the door of the trust store, Li Jiayi stopped the tricycle and went straight in.
This wasn't his first time here, so to speak! There was no trust store in this imperial capital that he hadn't been to.
"Mr. Li, you are here. What would you like to buy today?" Seeing him come in, a salesperson came up and asked.
"Are there any good things?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Yes, of course. Please follow me." The salesperson said and led the way.
Soon he brought Li Jiayi to the watch counter.
"Master Li, take a look, these are all imported goods, which were just collected in the past few days."
Li Jiayi took a look and showed a surprised expression, because what the salesperson said was right, they were indeed imported watches.
The worst one is also the club brand.
I don’t know if this is the last craze. Many people even sold their watches. I guess they just don’t want to sell the antiques in their homes.
This doesn’t matter to Li Jiayi, because whether it is an antique or a watch, it has collection value.
Moreover, the collection value of many watches is higher than that of antiques.
There are so many antiques! However, there are not many watches from this era, or watches before this era, in later generations, but there are many people who need them.
Some wealthy people specifically want old watches with vintage dates.
A watch can be sold for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and there are many of them, while most of them are unsalable.
In other words, some people spend money to buy it, but no one sells it, because people who own this kind of watch don't lack money at all.
"Come, take out these watches for me to see." Li Jiayi said, pointing to a row of watches on the counter.
"Okay, Master Li, I'll get it out for you right away."
The salesperson knew very well that Mr. Li was an expert, so he did not dare to cheat.
The row of watches that Li Jiayi pointed out included not only Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin, but also Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, Rolex, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Breguet, etc.
Of course, he couldn't possibly want all of these watches, for example, he wouldn't want a Rolex.
How can I put it! This thing is almost the same for everyone at the dock where coolies work.
Its purpose is to allow all those who do hard labor to wear a watch.
Abroad, there are not many rich people wearing this watch, and only in China do many people regard it as a treasure.
"I don't want these three Rolexes, but I want all the rest. Please count them and issue the invoices."
"Okay, Master Li."
The salesperson likes customers like Li Jiayi. If he meets one, he doesn’t have to worry about sales for months.
There is also an advantage to buying things in a trust store, that is, the items have a provenance, not only these watches, but also antiques and the like.
For example, if you want to auction antiques in the future, people will ask you about the origins of the antiques.
For example, in later generations, if antiques before the Ming and Qing dynasties are to be traded, they need to have a history.
The tickets issued by trust stores now are the origins of the antiques. With this, there is no problem with antiques before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, even before the Song Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Li Jiayi is keen on buying antiques at trust stores.
As for those exchanged from Wu Ye and his people, as well as those exchanged on the black market, it will be more troublesome to trade them in the future.
