"Old Lu, why are you here!" Bai Jingyuan saw this person clearly, and suddenly couldn't help but shout, this person is none other than the only clerk in the town office, Old Man Lu, and the two sides have formed a very deep friendship from a certain point of view, but Bai Jingyuan didn't expect that the other party would come to visit without any warning, which is really a bit unexpected.

"Haha, it's a boiling time in the town right now, of course I have to come here, but I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing, hehe!" Old Man Lu opened his mouth and said, at this time, he was wearing an old man's casual clothes, which was much more normal than when he was in the town office before, and his face was very good, and he didn't carry the rifle with him, at this time, Old Man Lu was like a normal old man, and his eyes were focused on the military advisors Kenny and Wei Mingyue at this time.

"What did you just say this is swallowing gold in your sleeve?" Remembering what Old Man Lu said just now, Bai Jingyuan asked a little curiously, with Old Man Lu's words, she also vaguely remembered something, it seems that she had watched it on TV, in the end, she was also a young man who grew up in a big country in the East, born and raised, even if there is no real in-depth research, but if you think about it carefully, you still have a little impression, it seems to be a very distinctive bargaining method between businessmen in a certain place during the Republic of China period of a large country in the East.

"You say this is a gold swallow in your sleeve? This is a method of bargaining between businessmen, but it is more secretive, so that only two people need to count each other, but it is a skill that can avoid being seen by outsiders. Old man Lu couldn't help but sigh and said: "This method was first invented by a businessman in a certain province in the central part of the country, the businessmen of this province have been good at walking on one side and settling accounts on the other side since they were young, and every businessman in this province will use their sleeves to swallow gold, ten fingers are an abacus, oh, by the way, you know what the abacus is, right?"

"Nonsense, as long as it's a Chinese person, who doesn't know!" Bai Jingyuan immediately said angrily, expressing great dissatisfaction with Old Man Lu's behavior of allegedly belittling her knowledge of common sense.

"Oh, okay, so, the merchants of this province usually swallow their hands in their sleeves, this way is also a way for merchants to bargain for the purchase and sale price of goods, but this kind of bargaining method is not like between me and you with your mouth to say, afraid that other peers will hear, and the other people around are the opponents of two people, so that they cover it with their sleeves, and then just use the method of hand opponents to bargain, so that other people don't know how much it is! It's a very clever method!" Old Man Lu explained.

"That's really interesting!" Bai Jingyuan understood, but looking at the military advisor Kenny and Wei Mingyue's gaze was a little strange, as if she was very puzzled by how they could use such a method, this is really a very strange thing.

"I see, I've gained knowledge!" Edward nodded as well.

"There are not many people who use this method to bargain now, but in some of the older trades and markets, you can still see it occasionally, such as antique trading, or livestock trading, cattle and sheep trading, and the like!" Old Man Lu said casually, a little nostalgic for the past.

"Such an interesting method, I also want to learn and learn!" Bai Jingyuan looked very interested.

"By the way, I heard that the more popular method now is to use a calculator to enter numbers, and then bargain between the two parties......" Old Man Lu remembered something, so he said casually.

"Yes, yes, there is also such a method, but it doesn't seem to be as high-end as this high-end atmosphere with gold in his sleeves, and it gives people a cool feeling, hahaha!" Bai Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh.

"That's the same!" Old Man Lu nodded.

On the other side, Edward looked at Old Man Lu with a little strange gaze, as if he didn't understand how Old Man Lu suddenly became very familiar with Wei Mingyue, Bai Jingyuan and others, this situation is a bit weird.

"Old Lu, when did you meet them, you look very familiar!" Edward is not a person who likes to hide it, and when he had doubts in his heart, he asked in front of Old Man Lu, but he didn't care about Bai Jingyuan's existence at all.

"Haha, by chance, or maybe it was at that time, something happened anyway, and I met, these two girls are not ordinary people, especially that!" Old Man Lu pointed at Wei Mingyue with a sigh on his face.

"What's going on?" said Edward.

"The town office, a few gangsters went to make trouble, fortunately with the help of the two of them!Hehe, but of course I also helped them a lot later, by the way, I heard that the town plan was canceled, Edward, you also contributed a lot from it?" Old man Lu asked Edward curiously.

"Gangsters, is it ......?" Edward's time stared at the military master Kenny with an ugly face, needless to say, in this simple and simple country town, the appearance of gangsters must be inseparable from the other party, you must know that gangsters are this kind of thing, in this country town is a thing that will not exist at all, first of all, the townspeople in the town are very pragmatic people, and there are no two or three young people in the whole town, and there is no soil and environment for gangsters to form at all, so why are there gangsters, naturally they come from the outside, and why do they come from the outside, naturally it is a good thing that Kenny's side of the military division does！

"Forget it, forget it, you don't need to worry about the things that have been solved, and the cancellation of the town plan, there will be no root cause of such a thing in the future, which can be regarded as a complete peace of mind!" Old man Lu said very openly, but in fact, the reason why he could see it was not because of such a thing, but because he saw the potential of Wei Mingyue and Bai Jingyuan, and saw the bright road and future of the future, which made the old man Lu feel very good, everyone is like this, only the hope and future that can be seen will make people feel longing, and pay all kinds of efforts and hard work for it, otherwise it will be a bleak and dull, weak, life is better than death, and there is no idea of wanting to fight and struggle。

And people like that are all finished, they can no longer be called people, but just walking dead, puppets of the line.

Now the old man Lu is very energetic, obviously he has come out of the muddy life in the past, although he is old, but he can still maintain his optimistic and cheerful attitude, but he does not know how many times stronger than before.

And now he has pinned his hopes on Wei Mingyue and Bai Jingyuan, although he has not really become the other party's person, but at least he is already an ally on the same front.

"Hmph, those bastards, sooner or later they will suffer the damnation!" Edward was indignant, but when he heard Old Man Lu say this, he really couldn't say anything more.

"It's okay, it's okay, by the way, Edward, what did I ask you just now?" Old Man Lu continued.

"Sort of, it's just that I've only reminded me a little, giving a clue that what is actually going to be carried out has nothing to do with me, and in fact, as you know, I don't have that ability at all, otherwise the town's plan would have been terminated a long time ago, but there is no need to wait until today!" Edward explained.

"I see, but you have made a great effort, and I have seen all the efforts you have made for the town before, and your credit for the termination of this plan is also indispensable!" Old Man Lu praised.

Bai Jingyuan, who heard this, was a little unhappy for a while, is this boasting? Obviously, if it weren't for them, no matter how hard they worked, no matter how hard they struggled, the result would definitely not change, but now it is better to take other people's merits and put gold on their faces, such people really make Bai Jingyuan very annoying, so she couldn't help but want to sarcastically say two words to the other party, but she didn't expect that if it weren't for the support of some big people behind them, how could they do this thing so easily!

In contrast, Edward and others, who knew that they could not do anything, but still worked hard, their spirit was truly worthy of praise! Of course, Bai Jingyuan would not consider such a thing at all.

It's just that just when she was about to start sarcastic, Kenny and Wei Mingyue, the military advisors who were bargaining over there, came to an end and completed the bargaining with money in their sleeves!

Military Kenny's face is a little not good-looking, but on the contrary, Wei Mingyue has a red face, obviously a lot of benefits, she rarely saw a smile on her face in the past, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but grin slightly at this time!

In fact, this is also a windfall for Wei Mingyue, I really didn't expect it to come so suddenly, so huge, in this way, it is really a great help and benefit for her future development, in fact, there is a way to play the game, Wei Mingyue gradually has her own thinking, in terms of super tasks, it is obvious that it is not limited to the game, in contrast, the various related tasks in the game, in fact, are very low level, it can be said to be dispensable, of course, this is from the point of view of rewards, the difference is simply not the same！

Not to mention one in the sky and one in the ground, in fact, this is the real ranking of players, the most important key!

In contrast, the game itself is only the foundation, and the real difference between winners and losers lies in various factors other than the game itself, such as the game bugs that were discovered yesterday that can be exploited.

This is a general trend, although Wei Mingyue did not get more information to support her ideas, she has a hunch that believes that things will be like this, that is, relying on the town itself, it will trigger a series of major tasks, and at the same time change the situation of the town, it will also bring huge benefits and rewards.

And such a major task is really an important factor for all gamers to widen the gap between each other!

Therefore, Wei Mingyue began to pay attention to this aspect, and it can be regarded as coming to the forefront of other players, at least the large amount of cash obtained now has become a great resource that she can use in the future!

If it is said that it is a simple game, Wei Mingyue is inferior to Bai Jingyuan, but if it comes to real management and planning, it is definitely what she is good at, the elite education she received from childhood to adulthood is not given in vain, when ordinary people are still learning various basic disciplines that are basically not helpful for the future, Wei Mingyue has begun to learn all kinds of knowledge that will only be learned when she really enters the society, and she is doing what she will do when she really enters the society.

In fact, the elite children like her, the best of them, relying on the various resources they possessed, many of them had already created extremely astonishing industries and obtained unimaginable profits when they were teenagers! Just when those ordinary people were still doing math problems, writing essays, and studying physical chemistry every day, the elite children had already occupied an important position in society and had completely widened the gap between them.

Basically, every elite child is at least thirty years ahead of the common people on the road of life!

Moreover, after receiving a large amount of civilian education, the common people will find that what they have learned in the past is simply useless, except for the migrant workers who can only become the children of the elite, it is extremely difficult to rely on their own strength to get out.

Therefore, the stronger the stronger, the stronger the weak!

Oh, in a way, this can be called a kind of conspiracy theory, in order to hold their usual elite status, the elite deliberately distorted the various education received by the common people, so that they could not receive the education enjoyed by the real elite level at all, let them accept the servile education from an early age, wear out the education of creativity and imagination, let them only have the most basic things, and can only work for themselves and work for themselves in the future! And as far as possible, the vast majority of civilian geniuses who may rely on their own ingenuity and self-made are excluded.

This kind of practice is very similar to the ancient gate valve system, but modern ordinary people don't know such things at all, and they are still complacent in order to receive nine years of compulsory education.

Times are changing, but the essence has not changed.

It's just that Wei Mingyue doesn't care about such a thing, for no other reason, she belongs to the ruling class, so she won't care about such a thing!

That's a good thing for her, that's enough!

What the other classes of people will think, what they think, or what they will become, it has nothing to do with her.

That kind of thing is something that the great men and the reformers need to think about.

At this time, Wei Mingyue needs to consider that with the support of a large amount of funds, there is no doubt that she will be closer to her goal, so that she can be happy.

Wei Mingyue was very happy, and there was still a little unfinished look, staring at the military advisor Kenny in front of him was like watching a slaughter, but there might still be a few pieces of fat somewhere that had not been completely cut.

"The lord's bargaining ability is really admirable! But then it's decided, the relevant amount may be difficult to make up for a while, but it will be remitted to the account one by one in the future, please don't worry about the lord, we still have such a credit, at most it will only be a month!" Strategist Kenny said with a bitter face, but since he can agree, then he must also be beneficial and hateful, otherwise it is absolutely impossible to agree, in essence, Strategist Kenny is also a black-hearted profiteer, even if the work on the surface is good, the essence of being a businessman is still the pursuit of profit.

"In business, credit is the most important thing, although it is only a verbal agreement, but it is a contract that cannot be broken!" Wei Mingyue opened her mouth and said, agreeing with the words of the military advisor Kenny, but this is a good word, a bad word Wei Mingyue didn't say it, of course, there was no need to say it, if she really said it, her face was a little unbearable.

"Naturally!" said Kenny, the Commander, with a nod.

"So at this time, should we open a bottle of wine to celebrate?" Wei Mingyue said with a smile as she turned to Kenny, the military advisor.

"It's good to celebrate, of course, of course, it's just...... I don't know if there is any wine?" When Bai Jingyuan heard this, she immediately shouted loudly, looking more excited than anything else, but she didn't know if it was because of the wine, or because Wei Mingyue bit off a piece of meat on the other party's body.

"When we came, the ingredients were prepared!" Edward said duly.

Wei Mingyue and Bai Jingyuan had just arrived, and they lived in this deserted castle, so the preparation of wine was naturally a problem, and Edward thought of this, so he opened his mouth.

"Haha, you're really a good person!" Bai Jingyuan also forgot to satirize Edward at this time, and opened her mouth to praise.
