Chapter XXIV
The time before the Spring Festival rushed by in a hurry of busyness and anticipation, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve in the blink of an eye. Traditionally, business partners must settle their accounts before the end of the year and try not to go into debt for the New Year.
But it can be difficult for people who owe money to pay off their debts. Therefore, for them, every New Year is like passing the customs, so it is called the New Year's Pass.
Early in the morning of the same day, Geng Wenyang came to the small courtyard of Min Hui's house after dinner, and prepared to settle the bill with the couple.
He pushed the big golden deer into the courtyard of Zhang's house, and as soon as he parked the bicycle against the wall, he saw Min Hui wearing a milky white sweater and yawning lazily with a basin of washing water and walked out of the east wing.
"Sister!" Geng Wenyang saw that she didn't notice herself, so she had to shout.
Min Hui turned his head to see that it was him, and he was overjoyed and said, "Oops! Xiao Geng, you came so early! ”
Geng Wen raised his heart and said: "It's still early, it seems that the two of you made a fuss late last night." ”
Min Hui and Shao Zhengyong have been married for more than a year, but their stomachs have not moved. At the urging of the old people on both sides, the husband and wife had to speed up the pace of creating people.
It's just that...... Pregnancy is not something that can be conceived, anyway, the two of them tossed as much as possible for more than a year, and still can't see the shadow of pregnancy. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity when Shao Zhengyong didn't have to get out of the car a year ago, the two of them naturally did not waste a minute or a second of time and went all out.
Geng Wenyang raised his arm, pointed to his watch and said, "Sister, it's past nine o'clock, it's not early!" ”
Min Hui remembered the madness of last night, and said with a slight flush on her cheeks: "I finally rested for a while, but I got up late." ”
She hurriedly put down the basin and led Geng Wenyang into the door.
As soon as you enter the hall, there is a table of eight immortals in the middle, and there is a tall and rugged-looking man sitting next to the table. Seeing the two of them come in, the big man hurriedly stood up, staring at Geng Wenyang with a pair of shining eyes.
"Dayong, this is the Geng Wenyang I often tell you about!" Min Hui pointed at the rugged man again and said, "This is my object Shao Zhengyong." ”
"Xiao Geng is here." Shao Zhengyong, as the hostess, greeted warmly: "Come, sit here." ”
Geng Wenyang said secretly: "Shao Zhengyong looks like a black tower, but his eyes are full of light, and he is probably a master with a lot of eyes, otherwise he would not be able to marry a stunning wife like Min Hui." ”
Shao Zhengyong let Geng Wenyang to the right-hand seat, took a box of peony cigarettes and said, "Smoking!" ”
Geng Wenyang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you!" I don't smoke! ”
"Don't smoke?" Shao Zhengyong took care of himself and flicked a cigarette in his cigarette case, skillfully took out a lighter and lit it: "It's good not to smoke, you can spend a lot of money." ”
Min Hui saw that her husband was only concerned about himself, for fear that he would forget his business, so she hurriedly reminded: "Dayong, don't just smoke, hurry up and tell Xiao Geng about the business." ”
"Oh, yes!" Shao Zhengyong turned around and took out a notebook from the cabinet next to him and said, "Xiao Geng, this is the total amount of money I should give you after accounting, can you take a look." ”
Geng Wenyang took the account book and looked at it carefully, only to see that it was written: "The first batch of 3,000 sets of Xiaoao is spread out, and the money payable is 4,200 yuan." The second batch of 3,000 sets, with a payment of 3,800 yuan. The above two items totaled 7,800 yuan. ”
Geng Wenyang nodded after looking at it and said, "That's right!" The money is right! ”
"That's good!" Shao Zhengyong went to the back room and took out two piles of fifty yuan and said, "This is seven thousand eight hundred yuan, can you count a little?" ”
"Hmmm! Good! Geng Wenyang stretched out his hand to take the money and counted it carefully, and said, "It's exactly seven thousand eight hundred yuan, which is not bad at all." ”
"Then please sign here." Shao Zhengyong took out another receipt and said: "Don't care, there must be a note for so much money, and the future of the province is not clear." ”
As a business partner, clear and well-documented accounts are the most basic requirement, and it is not excessive.
Geng Wenyang smiled and generously signed his name on the receipt.
Relying on the wholesale sale of Geng Wenyang's novels, Shao Zhengyong and his wife made a windfall before the Spring Festival, and roughly estimated that they made a small amount of tens of thousands of yuan, only to make the two of them happy and laughing at night.
A small tens of thousands of dollars, equivalent to the income of two people working hard for two or three years, and now it has been earned in less than a month, so it is strange if people are not happy.
Therefore, the current Geng Wenyang is definitely a distinguished guest who welcomes him from afar in Shao Zhengyong's house, and he can't be neglected at all.
"Xiao Geng......" Shao Zhengyong smiled and said tentatively: "I heard that you are going to write another book?" ”
Geng Wenyang saw that his smile was sly, and smiled indifferently: "Yes! Yes, there is such a plan. ”
"Can we sign another cooperation agreement?" Shao Zhengyong said with a smile on his face: "Let's just sign a long-term agreement, and in the future, you will hand over all the sales of novels to us, and you don't need to worry about it." Do you think it's okay? ”
Geng Wenyang saw that he inadvertently showed a vague appearance of insatiable gluttony, and he was inevitably a little disgusted in his heart, but he smiled at Min Hui's face: "Brother Shao, I haven't started writing the book yet, let's discuss it when I write it." ”
Shao Zhengyong saw that Geng Wenyang was still young, thinking that he was a chick in the world, and he could definitely get him, so he was a little greedy in terms of appearance. It's just that he didn't expect the other party to use the procrastination trick and easily turn his dream of making a fortune into nothing.
Min Hui knew very well that Geng Wenyang had a mature mind that did not match his age, so he immediately explained: "I will talk about the future later, and I will settle the current accounts first." ”
The wife gave the steps, and Shao Zhengyong got down the donkey and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" What will happen later...... Let's talk about it. ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, banks and savings offices are only half-day open. Geng Wenyang hurriedly deposited the more than 7,000 yuan in his hand into the bank, sat for a while and hurriedly left.
Shao Zhengyong originally wanted to keep Geng Wenyang at home for lunch, and by the way, persuade him to sign a long-term cooperation agreement. As a result, before he could speak, he was stopped by his wife's sharp eyes, and he had to let Geng Wenyang leave.
After leaving Min Hui's house, Geng Wenyang hurried to the Xicheng branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on Yongan Street on his bicycle. Zhuang Xiaomeng was still at work this morning, and Geng Wenyang specially came to her to make a deposit, so as to help her complete the deposit task assigned to her.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, there were not many people in the bank, and it didn't take long for Geng Wenyang's turn. He sat in front of the window that Zhuang Xiaomeng was in charge of, deliberately raised the wad of money in his hand and said, "Comrade, save for a three-month term." ”
Zhuang Xiaomeng looked up and saw that it was him, and he was stunned: "Wen Yang, why are you?" ”
"Sister, I'll help you save money." Geng Wenyang smiled, stuffed the wad of money into the groove under the window and said, "Sister, this is four thousand, you can help me save for a three-month period." ”
"Four thousand!?" Zhuang Xiaomeng was even more surprised: "Where did you get so much money?" ”
"Writing a book, of course." Geng Wenyang said: "I promised to give you 10 percent of the transcription fee, and when I get home in the afternoon, I will give it to you along with the money I borrowed from you, and I will never break my promise." ”
In fact, Zhuang Xiaomeng has always been worried about the matter, for fear that Geng Wenyang will change his words and refuse to admit it. After all, that's a lot of money, and it's estimated that there will be about a thousand yuan, which is definitely a huge amount of money for her!
