'Really? This is embarrassing,' the girl said, reaching out to take the balloon from Gu Chen's hands.
There were hundreds of them, a whole bunch of colourful ones, really very pretty.
On hearing this, the boy next to her felt a little embarrassed.
'These... these balloons are quite expensive, we'd better not take them,'
Although he knew that his girlfriend really liked balloons, a handful of them like this would definitely cost a lot of money. Even if they were only one yuan each, it would still cost 200 yuan.
What could he do with 200 yuan?
Selling balloons would be a complete waste of money.
He didn't want to buy them, but he also didn't want to take them for free.
Gu Chen didn't look more than two years older than him, and he felt that he would be laughed at if he took someone else's balloons for free.
Hearing the boy say this, the girl looked at him in surprise.
'Why? This balloon is so pretty, why don't you want it?'
He usually says he doesn't have any money and doesn't want to buy it for himself, but now someone is giving it to him, why doesn't he want it?
The more the girl thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved.
The boy didn't say anything, he looked at Gu Chen and said, 'Thank you for your kindness, but this balloon feels quite expensive, so we'd rather not have it.'
He didn't want to receive food from others without doing anything in return.
On hearing this, the girl stamped her feet in anger, pulled a long face and looked over at her boyfriend, saying, 'If you don't let me have it today, we'll break up!'
She didn't care, she just wanted the balloon. The person who had picked it up earlier was just a child under the age of three!
She was only three years old and already had so many balloons, and she was almost twenty years old, so why couldn't she have them?
You find a boyfriend to make yourself happy, not to hold you back!
Hearing the girl say this, the boy frowned.
After a while, he turned to Gu Chen and said, 'Tell you what, sir, why don't you give me your contact information? These balloons should cost about 200 yuan. When I earn the money, I'll definitely pay you back.'
His name was Qiao Hua, a student at Haicheng University. He was only in his second year and had originally been born in the countryside. His family didn't have much money, so he had been working hard to earn money while studying.
Two hundred yuan was really a lot of money for him.
He wanted to take other people's money for free.
Gu Chen smiled and said, 'It's okay, we don't want the balloon anymore, just take it and have fun with it.'
To be honest, he simply wanted to find someone to give the balloon away.
But he saw that the two people were full of vitality and were obviously students, so Gu Chen chose them.
Unexpectedly, because of the balloon, the two people actually got into an unhappy situation. This is a waste of money.
'Sir, you must leave me your phone number. I work part-time at the fruit market in front of the building three days a week for two months. In two months, I can definitely pay you back the 200 yuan. If you don't agree, I really can't take this balloon.'
Seeing how sincere he was, Gu Chen couldn't help but look at him twice.
To be honest, there are really not many people like him in this society who don't even want to be paid for their trouble, especially when they don't have a penny to their name.
He even wants to earn money to give to Gu Chen. This really makes Gu Chen feel something. It seems that this kid has a good character.
'Do you work and study at the same time?'
Gu Chen couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
'Well, my family is from the countryside. My parents work the land, and it's quite difficult.' The boy laughed heartily, looking very sunny.
Gu Chen's brow twitched, and she couldn't help but admire this person a little.
Usually, people who work and study at the same time, or come from poor families, have a lot of grievances in their eyes.
But this young man's eyes are not filled with any grievances at all, which is really rare.
It so happens that I am short of manpower, so why don't I let him help me out? In this way, he can earn money and I will have an extra helper, which is the best of both worlds!
Gu Chen nodded and smiled, 'How about this, why don't you leave me your phone number, and I will call you when it is convenient, how about working for me?'
The young man was taken aback by this. Gu Chen was dressed in ordinary clothes, but the two men beside him, Ji Chu and Uncle Guang, looked like they were wearing expensive clothes.
He probably couldn't do the work for him.
'May I ask what kind of work you do?'
Gu Chen scratched his head, 'I do everything. Don't worry, it's not difficult.'
At the moment, Gu Chen really lacked manpower. He had contracted so much land that once there was a bumper harvest, he would always have to start a small company, so that it would be convenient to sell things.
And there's the fruit business that he's only just started today.
He's short of people for all of them, and he really can't do without anyone.
Hearing this, the young man's heart settled, and he bowed to Gu Chen, 'Okay, thank you, boss.'
After saying that, he took the balloon that Gu Chen was holding and gave his girlfriend a spoiled smile, 'Now you have a balloon.'
The girl was overjoyed to have a balloon and gave her boyfriend a kiss on the face.
The boy turned around, gave Gu Chen his phone number, and told him to call him, introducing himself.
The group of people then left.
When they arrived at the parking lot, Gu Chen remembered the wolfberries that Lao Zhao had given him. Since he couldn't use them anyway, he might as well bring them to his father-in-law. He got into the car and brought down the gift-wrapped wolfberry box.
Ji Pianran was shocked to see his car.
'What's this?'
When he left in the morning, wasn't he still driving the van?
How did he manage to change cars in less than a day?
That was pretty fast.
Seeing Ji Pianran's surprised expression, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile.
'Daughter-in-law, I bought this car when I went to Lao Hu's to pay the rent. It's very suitable. With her, you and Tangtang will never have to squeeze into the van again.'
Seeing Gu Chen's new car, Uncle Guang frowned, 'You really know how to waste money.'
With 20 million in his pocket, it's not like he can't afford a Mercedes-Benz or BMW, let alone a Rolls-Royce!
But this kid, instead of buying an Audi, he actually bought a Santana for 2,000 yuan!
What can you say about him!
Upon hearing this, Ji Pianran smiled at Uncle Guang, 'Uncle Guang, this car is already very good.'
From the expression on her face, it was clear that Ji Pianran was quite satisfied with the car.
She was not the type of person to be high-profile, and besides, the family car was nothing more than a means of transport. She didn't even have any problems with a van, let alone a Santana.
If this had happened three years ago, she really wouldn't have dared to think about it.
She had seen all kinds of nice things since she was a child, and she had used and seen all the best things herself.
The more she thought about it, the more she understood that money was not everything.
The more she felt that only emotions mattered.
Gu Chen was very considerate. She had remembered that she and Tang Tang would not be comfortable in the van, and had given them a car instead.
As for brand-name cars, she didn't need any.
All she needed was a loving husband and a well-behaved daughter.
Tang Tang was being held in her little uncle's arms. When she heard that her father had bought a new car, she hurriedly looked over at the Santana 2000.
'Wow, Daddy is so amazing, and the car is so beautiful!'
Hearing the young child's innocent voice, Ji Chu couldn't help but look at her curiously, 'Tell me, is that little golden car nice-looking or is Daddy's this nice-looking?'
Upon hearing this, the little girl hesitantly opened her mouth, 'Daddy's car is nice-looking!'
She wasn't interested in the little golden car, she just knew that Daddy's was the best.
Daddy is good at everything!
