After Cheng Nuo's relentless persuasion, Mu Leng finally kept the fluffy big bear unwillingly.
Cheng Nuo lugged the bag of plush toys and looked for a suitable place to sell them. Mu Leng and Su Xiaoxiao, who had a bear each, followed behind Cheng Nuo. Mu Leng was about one head taller than Su Xiaoxiao and carried the one-meter-tall bear casually. However, Su Xiaoxiao was struggling as the bear nearly covered her entire body. From afar, it looked as though the teddy bear was walking, and it was pretty hilarious.
"Cheng Nuo, have you found a spot?" Su Xiaoxiao complained. The sun was blinding that day and Su Xiaoxiao had begun to sweat from walking.
"Soon, let's just settle down at the start of the bridge. The traffic is good there," said Cheng Nuo as he pointed to the location nearby.
"Cheng Nuo, what if the police come?" Mu Leng thought that it was not a good idea to sell the plush toys on the street.
"It's alright." Cheng Nuo waved his hand. He was not worried at all. "If the police come, I will sweep everything, hug them, and run. Both of you can pretend to be customers. Moreover, I don't think we will be that unlucky!"
As they talked, they reached the start of the bridge. Cheng Nuo put the bag of plush toys down. He tore the bag open and laid the mat on the floor, piling the plush toys on the mat.
The start and end of the bridge were areas with high traffic and there were quite a few street vendors. They sold food, accessories, local products, and more. Cheng Nuo and the two girls attracted the attention of the street vendors who always sold there.
"Boy, you are selling these plush toys?" a middle-aged lady who was selling Chinese pancakes asked curiously.
Cheng Nuo replied while smiling, "Yes, madam, we are selling them. Do you want to buy one?"
"How much is one?"
"It is cheap, 5 Yuan."
"Sure, give me the Mickey Mouse plush toy. I will give it to my daughter." As she said that, she passed Cheng Nuo 5 Yuan.
"Sure!" Cheng Nuo smiled and passed her the mickey mouse plush toy.
Cheng Nuo suddenly thought of something and asked the lady, "Madam, do you have a cardboard box that you don't need?"
"Yes, I do." The lady began to like the three of them as they were students. "Hold on, I will go get it for you. What else can I help with?"
"Thank you, ma'am. It's alright, we only need a cardboard box."
After receiving the cardboard box, Cheng Nuo tore it open and wrote a few words on the biggest flap.
"5 Yuan for one, free to choose!"
Cheng Nuo placed the simple signboard at the front of the pile of plush toys and waited for customers…
The price was around the same as the market price.
Su Xiaoxiao tugged Cheng Nuo's sleeve and asked softly, "Cheng Nuo, will this work?"
Other street vendors' stalls had nicely designed signboards. However, they, urgh… A piece of cardboard was so plain and boring.
Cheng Nuo laughed at Su Xiaoxiao's concern and said, "Don't worry, the both of you are pretty ladies and are the most eye-catching signboards."
Cheng Nuo was not wrong. Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Leng were standing at the stall, one was cute and one was emotionless but attractive.
With their two beautiful faces, they exuded an enormous aura of youth and vibrance. They attracted others' attention like the sun.
Indeed, a crowd formed in front of their stall very quickly.
"Pretty lady, how much is a plush toy?" said a young man to Mu Leng.
"The price is written, five for one, free to pick," said Cheng Nuo emotionlessly.
The young man was unhappy. "Hey, I am talking to the pretty lady. Why are you answering my question!?" The young man smiled and said to Mu Leng, "Pretty lady, do you have WeChat? Can we be friends?"
Mu Leng did not even look at the young man. She said, "Scram!"
"Sigh, Brother, can you stop disturbing us." Cheng Nuo forcefully pulled the young man out while he was stunned by Mu Leng's response.
Of course, such troublemakers were the minority. The overall process was enjoyable and perfect.
In less than 20 minutes, they had sold half of the plush toys.
Su Xiaoxiao was responsible for collecting money. She was extremely happy when she looked at the pile of notes in her hands.
50, 100, 150… 250!
"Hehehe, I can buy a lot of snacks with this!"
More and more people joined the crowd. This process continued until a shout was heard.
"The police are here! The police are here!"
An extremely sharp voice was heard at the start of the bridge.
Instantly, the vendors scrambled to put all their things away. From their speed, one could tell that they were definitely experienced.
No way, were they really unlucky enough to encounter the police?!
Cheng Nuo was wondering why he was so unlucky that day.
He was nearly run over by a car while running in the morning, and now the police were coming!
"Cheng Nuo, what… what do we do?" Su Xiaoxiao panicked.
Mu Leng looked at Cheng Nuo in panic too.
Cheng Nuo said as he packed up the stall, "Follow what we discussed earlier. Don't move and I will… Sorry, I have to run!
"Both of you, just stay here and call me when the police leave!"
Cheng Nuo waved to the two ladies as he carried the 30 to 40 plush toys and ran off.
…
Guan Cheng whistled and strolled to the bridge.
As a normal police officer of Qing Cheng, he patrolled the area just as his higher-ups had instructed him to do.
Suddenly, Guan Cheng's gaze froze.
He saw a man running towards the other end of the bridge after hastily packing up.
Hey! That brat!
Guan Cheng immediately became energized. "Trying to escape in front of me? Are you ignoring my presence?!"
He would definitely teach him a good lesson after he caught him.
Guan Cheng was quite young. He was 24 and had just become an officer this year.
Being young and full of energy were Guan Cheng's qualities.
If the other middle-aged officers saw that, they would probably let the matter off.
However, Guan Cheng was different. "If I don't catch this brat today, I will invert my name for you!"
