Chapter 94 Three-person cooperation (1)
Li Ling narrowed his eyes and slowly drank the wine in his glass, then said slowly: "For such a ridiculous reason, they took out a full 2,000 taels of silver to deal with it, destroying my future?"
Wan Lang smiled heefully: "Because his Ji family does have this capital. Maybe two thousand taels of silver are enough for you to do many big things, but for them, it's just a drop in the bucket. If you can spend money to buy happiness, you will naturally not feel wasted." After a pause, he asked again: "How about it, what do you think after knowing the truth?"
"I think they've spent more than this little money this time. Is there a lot of money in the government office these two days?"
"You can see this?"
"Is this obvious? Since your Wan family can find out thoroughly in a few days, how could the government be hidden? Even if the businessman named Guan has left, he can find clues."
"Yes, but this is not something that ordinary people can ask about." As he said that, Wan Lang glanced at Li Ling again, "So how do you plan to end this matter?"
"I said I would make the matter a big deal, would you help me?" Li Ling asked back, and stopped the other party, then smiled bitterly: "Of course I am willing to help you, but my family is afraid that it will not. After all, this matter may be involved in the government office."
"So I can't fight back with the regular route?"
Wan Lang nodded: "But after this matter, you don't have to worry about them causing trouble for you again. After this matter, the examination room will inevitably become more rigorous and will not give anyone any opportunity to take advantage of."
Li Ling heard another hidden meaning in his words, that is, he would not be able to treat his body if he wanted to do the same thing. However, after a little pondering, he still said, "I still want to take revenge on them!"
"This is probably difficult. Although the Ji family is not as wealthy as my Wan family, it is also rich. Ji Wuyou is even the only grandson in the family. I'm afraid you can't deal with it at will."
Li Ling could see that he really wanted to stand on his side, and his heart felt warm, and he smiled and said, "Actually, what I want you to do should not be so taboo. By the way, Ji Wuyou also passed the palace examination this time, and will take the hospital examination next?" After seeing the other party nodding, he said, "The position in the examination room is temporarily determined, and it will be arranged by the person at that time?"
"Hmm... um?" Wan Lang was also a smart person, and immediately thought of something, "Do you want to arrange him into the toilet number?" He couldn't help but grin again when he thought of Li Ling's embarrassing appearance when he came out of the examination room two days ago.
"That's right, can this be done?"
"It wouldn't be too difficult if I just put him in the toilet number temporarily. One or two hundred taels of silver can be done." Wan Lang smiled, "Is it really useful to just do this? Apart from being disgusting Ji Wuyou."
"There is another point. I want someone to engrave the words in the toilet number he is staying in..." Li Ling smiled coldly and said the next move, but it made Wan Lang stand out: "Brother Li, your attacking move is so powerful! Once it is really done, I'm afraid he will not be able to take the exam with peace of mind."
"Since he wants to ruin my future, I have to repay it. That's the only way to be fair." Li Ling answered lightly. What's more, a gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years. In his opinion, how could he have a happy revenge at that time? What's more, the Ji family is much better than himself in all aspects. If he doesn't take action at this time, do you know if there is still a chance to take revenge in the future?
Wan Lang thought about it, then slapped the case a few times and said, "Just do what you said! This should not be difficult to do, at least it is much simpler than their way of playing. Even if someone finds out, it can only be considered a joke."
"Then thank you, Brother Wan, for your righteous actions. I will give you a gift to you by borrowing flowers and offering you a cup of wine, and I owe you a favor." Li Ling hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said.
"Haha, a small matter, what kind of favor is unkind? Since you are my friend, you will take it for granted." Wan Lang waved his hand indifferently and smiled very generously.
With this plan, the relationship between the two will naturally be closer. Sometimes the relationship between people is so subtle. Only by planning or doing something that is not in line with the rules can one become a sincere good friend. Therefore, there is a saying that one can be plagiarized among the four major elements of life.
The two of them spoke relaxed and comfortable, but they scared Gu Yuezi on the side so much that they forgot to drink wine. These two guys were too brave and dared to tamper with such major issues as the college entrance examination. Moreover, Li Ling himself was still a candidate who took the palace examination. If someone found out, the fate would be... He wanted to persuade him, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak, so he could only listen blankly.
"Brother Gu..." Li Ling screamed several times before Gu Yuezi came back to his mind, looking at the other party with complicated eyes: "Hmm? What do you say?"
"It's time to talk about the serious business. Brother Gangwan said he wanted to work with the three of us to open a bookstore in the Fucheng City. Do you have any ideas?"
"Oh, yes, it's important!" Gu Yuezi shook his head, subconsciously touched his beard, and then smiled bitterly, "The things you two talked about are too big, and I dare not listen carefully. But I always feel that it is difficult for the bookstore. After all, your family has a bookstore and it is extremely large, so there is almost no place for us to stand here."
"Boss Gu's concerns are naturally reasonable, but the matter is human. How can you know if it can be done without trying?" Wan Lang had his own opinion.
"Brother Wan, I want to ask, since your Wanjia already has a bookstore and has been booming in business, why do you think about starting a new business? And you also think about working with us two outsiders?"
"This latter question is easy to answer, because I believe your ability. In the past two years, our Wanjia Bookstore has opened many branches in various counties in Hengzhou Prefecture. It can be said that it has been invincible and has squeezed out all the local bookstores. Only the Gujia Bookstore in Jiangcheng County has not only failed, but also drove them out. As for the previous question..." He paused for a moment, thought for a while before vaguely speaking, "I can only say that Wanjia Bookstore has nothing to do with me, and there is no need to worry about fighting."
Li Ling and Gu Yuezi looked at each other and saw a sense of understanding in each other's eyes. In fact, the speculation about differences or even conflicts within the Wan family was pointed out as early as when Li Ling first came to the Fucheng to borrow money. Later, the development of the matter fully confirmed his speculation, and now it is just becoming more and more reliable.
Once he touched his own career, Gu Yuezi's mind became much more flexible and frowned and said, "Even so, it is still extremely difficult for us to open a bookstore here. I'm afraid that the people from Wanjia Bookstore will not let us calmly establish a foothold here, right? It is difficult to deal with the suppression from them alone."
"That's why I thought of working with you. I believe that the two who have already fought with them will always have a solution to this." As he said that, Wan Lang's eyes fell on Li Ling. He had already checked it very clearly before. Li Ling was the one who helped Gujia Bookstore win that battle.
Li Ling slowly drank wine and said for a while: "If I opened a bookstore as soon as I came up, I'm afraid I wouldn't be very sure. But if I switched to a smaller bookstore, the situation would be much better."
“Is there any difference?”
"It's easy to turn around when the boat is small, and we can put the bookstore in Jiangcheng, and other aspects are not a problem."
Wan Lang frowned slightly. The two people in front of him didn't know how urgent he wanted to make a breakthrough. Because there were always rumors in the family that Wan Lang was actually useless. It was because of the old man's pampering and Brother Hai was in front to control the overall situation, which made him very dissatisfied and wanted to make a career for others to see.
He had already been preparing to open a paper and pen shop two months ago, but he was so angry that he was so angry that he simply went straight to his bookstore.
Wan Lang thought that he could bring Li Ling and the other two to make up for it, but he didn't expect that they were so cautious and were only willing to open a bookstore to try the waters, which made him a little unacceptable.
"Brother Wan, things in the mall are unhurried, otherwise they will only backfire. I don't think you want your hard work to end in vain, right?" Li Ling saw his thoughts and quickly persuaded him.
"Yes, Mr. Wan, big deals are all done little by little since small business. We are not very familiar with the book market here in the Fucheng City. If you step too much, it will be too much. So it's better to be more secure and start with a bookstore."
"And it's not that we won't open a bookstore in the future. As long as our bookstore has its name, we can still open a bookstore within one or two years, or even compare Wanjia Bookstore."
Li Gu and the other two persuaded each other one by one, and finally made Wan Lang feel intent: "Your statement is not unreasonable, so start with the bookstore? But is this a little bit of a small fight?"
"Bookstores are also big and small. Generally, bookstores are small and small, but we can open the bookstore to a larger scale and have more tricks. At least we have to compare Wanjia Bookstore." Li Ling had an idea in his mind, so now he said some things.
"Turn all the three stores facing the street, and in addition to being able to buy books, we can also provide on-site reading, prepare wine and food for them. In addition to ordinary novels and classic notes, our bookstores can also put books with paintings, which I call comic strips - these have been quite popular in our Jiangcheng County before. The bookstore we are going to build is actually not a bookstore, but a reading environment that allows customers to spend a whole day in it, and they can still buy wine and other things in our store after that. How about it, do you think such a bookstore is interesting?"
