Tao Xueming stood in the factory director's office, took a few deep breaths, and hinted that he should not be nervous, and he must not be nervous.

Nervousness is exposed.

Immediately, he knocked on the door.

"Come in. ”

Tao Xueming pushed open the door and entered, standing cautiously in front of the desk.

"It's you, looking for me?"

Director Li said with a smile.

Tao Xueming looked directly at the other party, and he said calmly and calmly: "Director Li, I want to ask you to do me a favor." ”

Director Li smiled: "Is there a lack of money, how much is missing?"

Tao Xueming shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money, but I'm short of coal." ”

Director Li frowned and said: "Our coal plant cannot be sold to self-employed people, even if there are coal tickets. ”

Tao Xueming looked directly at the other party and said, "I know a very rich Hong Kong businessman, and I can let him invest in this county." ”

After listening to this, Director Li seemed to laugh, a teenage child, told him that he knew a very rich foreign businessman?

Who believes!

Tao Xueming gritted his teeth secretly, he knew that there was no basis for empty words, and he would definitely not believe it when he said it.

"Director Li, how about we make a bet. ”

"What are you going to bet on?"

"I bet that the uncle I know will come to our county to invest in three months. ”

"At least 500,000 RMB!"

Tao Xueming said slowly.

When Director Li heard 500,000 yuan, the smile on his face immediately stiffened.

Eight or nine years, 500,000 yuan, how much is that?

Even if it's the largest company in the city, it can't come up with so much money in a year.

"Kid, you're kidding me, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Director Li had a hint of reprimand in his tone, he made up nonsense at a young age, he hated liars the most.

Tao Xueming's tone was firm, and he said: "Factory director, I use my life to vouch for it, and my uncle will definitely come to invest." ”

"As long as the factory director lends me 30 tons of cinders first, if my uncle doesn't come to invest in three months, you can arrest me for fraud and sentence me to decades. ”

Director Li's eyes flickered, thirty tons of cinders is not much money, and it is only a matter of a hundred yuan.

A hundred dollars, gambling hundreds of thousands of investments, no matter how you look at it, it is very cost-effective.

"I'm thinking about putting it. Director Li said.

Tao Xueming nodded and said with a smile: "Although I am young, I definitely use my character to guarantee that I definitely have investment." ”

"I also plan to open a bathhouse not far away, and the factory director will go to my place to wash if he has nothing to do, and he doesn't need money. ”

After speaking, Tao Xueming turned around and walked out of the office.

Coming to the corridor, Tao Xueming let out a long breath in an instant, and slowly squatted down against the wall, his legs were weak when he was scared just now.

That foreign merchant uncle, in fact, does not exist, there is no such person at all.

But if you don't say that, Director Li will never provide coal, and if there is no coal, then naturally you can't open a bathhouse.

The first pot of gold in life will not be earned.

Tao Xueming smiled bitterly in his heart, who made himself young, only thirteen years old, with a young face, without some special methods, there was no way to make a fortune.

……

Back in the dormitory, Tao Xueming lay down, closed his eyes, and couldn't sleep.

Soon, he felt the cold, and his body curled up together, wrapped tightly in the quilt.

After a while, Bao Zhipeng came back, still holding a bowl in his hand, and a large piece of meat was placed in the bowl.

"Brother, come and eat meat, it's almost the New Year, and the canteen will give us good food. ”

Bao Zhipeng said excitedly.

Tao Xueming was not interested in meat, and said, "I'm going to quit, will you come with me?"

"What do you say?"

Bao Zhipeng was taken aback and said: "Brother, what do you think, why don't you do such a good job, make so much money in a month, you can only make a few dollars when you go out." ”

"I'm going to open a bathhouse. ”

Tao Xueming stared at Bao Zhipeng and said, "Just ask you, do you want to do it with me, do it with me, and we will make a fortune together." ”

"I don't dare to say more, I can definitely earn three or five hundred yuan a month. ”

Bao Zhipeng didn't believe it, three or five hundred a month, it was a dream!

"I'm not going, you're going to go by yourself. Bao Zhipeng muttered: "Team Leader Wang said that I performed very well, or I can double my salary in three years." ”

"I make more money than adults, enough to take my grandfather to the hospital, and I don't go anywhere......"

After hearing this, Tao Xueming sighed, forget it, the Tao is not the same, Lao Tzu will do it himself.

Go to bed.

Tao Xueming covered his head and slept.

……

The next morning, the dinner bell rang and everyone got up and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Tao Xueming also got up, and he began to pack his luggage and prepare to move out.

Half an hour passed, and the factory director called him over.

Tao Xueming came to the office.

"You don't seem surprised to see me?"

Director Li asked.

Tao Xueming had a smile on his face, surprised and surprised, if it were me, I would definitely agree.

"You're so calm that it seems like I'm going to agree. ”

As he spoke, Director Li took out the approval slip from the drawer with a smile and said, "I lent it to you for the sake of you saving Li Cui." ”

"Dozens of tons of cinders are not much money, but I also hope that what you say is true, if you dare to lie to me, I will arrest you and go to jail. ”

"My wife and brother are the director, you should have seen it. ”

Tao Xueming stretched out his hand to take the approval slip, carefully put it in his pocket, and then said: "Director Li, don't worry, if I dare to lie to you, it will not be a good death." ”

"By the way, I'm quitting, and you've gotten my go. ”

"Approved, I also gave you the salary for these two days. ”

Director Li calculated the salary, and then gave Tao Xueming a salary of five yuan and two cents.

Tao Xueming left the office and came to the workshop, originally planning to say goodbye to Bao Zhipeng, but the other party went out.

There was no way, Tao Xueming had to move out of the dormitory with his bags alone, and then got it into the rented building by himself.

It was very cold in the building, and Grandpa Liu also moved to the countryside to live, and Tao Xueming was the only one in the whole building.

Tao Xueming rubbed his hands and started to transform now.

In this era, it is relatively simple to get a bathhouse, as long as there is a water pipe, dozens of people can take a bath at the same time.

Tao Xueming was alone, first cleaned up the garbage in each room, and it took a day just to get the garbage.

At night, Tao Xueming slept on the ground, because the quilt was very thin, so he shivered for a night.

At five o'clock in the morning, Tao Xueming got up, went outside and spent a dime, bought two steamed buns to eat, and drank a sip of cold water to eat.

Subsequently, Tao Xueming continued to do it, he demolished the window, and planned to get the glass up to improve the grade.

But because he is not in good shape and his height is not high, it takes a lot of effort to make Chaimen.

Accidentally, he injured his hand.

Looking at the bleeding hands, Tao Xueming suddenly felt a grievance welling up in his heart.

Even if he went through the vicissitudes of life in his previous life and saw through the world, at this moment, he was just a thirteen-year-old child.

This feeling of helplessness made him feel aggrieved, and tears were rolling.

There is also a thought in my head, quit and give up.

But soon, another voice appeared in my head, if you don't endure hardship at this time, how can you become a master in the future?

Do you want to be willingly bullied by your stepmother for a lifetime, scolding the father and son for eating soft rice and being incompetent?

Thinking of this, Tao Xueming immediately took a breath, he tore off the curtains, wrapped them around his hands, and continued to dry.

Time flashed, another day passed, and it was dark outside.

Tao Xueming was tired and half-dead lying on the ground, panting.

After a busy day, he dismantled everything that could be dismantled, and then opened a sink and connected the water pipe.

The rest of the work, if he was alone, would have taken a long time to complete.

The most important thing is to prepare a stove for boiling water, without which there is no way to supply hot water.

Tao Xueming closed his eyes, where to find this stove, it is too expensive to buy, and there is no money in hand.

Pregnant!

Tao Xueming's mind flashed, he opened his eyes suddenly, and remembered that there used to be a funeral home in the county.

There is a large water stove inside the funeral home, which for some reason has been abandoned.

The stove still seems to have been discarded and no one is using it.

Tao Xueming's eyes showed joy, and he immediately sat up, as long as there is a stove, the rest is easy to say.

Check it out now.

Tao Xueming immediately got dressed, locked the door, and ran towards the outside of the county against the cold wind.
