Power and Wealth-Chapter 42

Power and WealthChapter 42 – Must make money!

Aunt Xuan’s rejection did not disappoint Dong Xuebing. AuntXuan’s attitude had surprised him.

Dong Xuebing noticed that he did not have enough time andimmediately shout BACK!

......

“Good boy. Have one more bite. Ah......” Qu Yunxuan was holdingthe banana towards his mouth.

Dong Xuebing took a bite and slowly chewed on the banana.

Qu Yunxuan took a napkin and helped him wipe his mouth.“Look at the foolish smile. What are you thinking?”

“Errrr, nothing...... I just feel like smiling. Hahaha.” DongXuebing was still not very satisfied with himself. That’s why he still has touse his powers. He still cannot let Aunt Xuan knows that he likes her. He doesnot want her to feel uncomfortable. He wants to wait until Aunt Xuan have agood impression of him and have a perfect confession. This way, the chances ofhim succeeding will be higher.

But there was a massive hurdle in from of Dong Xuebing.

Setting up a company...... even if Aunt Xuan could get a commissionfor every advertisement sale, how long will she have to wait to save enough?

After thinking for the whole afternoon, Dong Xuebing decidedto help Aunt Xuan. If he had the money to help her set up her company, thenwill the chances of him succeeding higher? Dong Xuebing also wanted to makemore money to have a better life. If he could earn 1 million RMB, he would havea better life and might also have a girlfriend. That’s right. Money was alsovery important in the government sector. Sometimes, he will need to give giftsto his higher-ups. Yes...... This will be killing 3 birds with one stone.

Must make money.

Target: 1 million RMB

One day......

Two days......

Dong Xuebing was recovering well under the care of QuYunxuan. Most of the bandages on his body were removed, and he could move hisarm and legs better. Other than strenuous exercise, Dong Xuebing could walk andclimb stairs without limping. He asked the doctor when he could be dischargedas he was bored staying in the hospital. The doctor told him that he stillneeds to remain hospitalized for 2 more days for observations. Dong Xuebingwondered if the hospital wants him to say for a few more days was to make moneyfrom him.

Noon.

After eating the hospital lunch, Dong Xuebing listlesslytook his medicine.

The food at Jiangong Hospital was very cheap. 3 meals for 10RMB. But the food was only for the patients and not for the family members. QuYunxuan had to take her lunch at the nearby restaurants. After her lunch, shebought a packet of yogurt back to the ward and saw Dong Xuebing staring andblowing at the empty plastic lunch container.

Qu Yunxuan laughed and placed the yogurt on the table. “Areyou retard? How old are you?”

Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes. “I am bored.” The past twodays, Dong Xuebing had been thinking of ways to make more money. But there wasnothing he could do in the hospital, and it made him bored.

“If you are bored, then drink this yogurt. Here.”

“Aunt Xuan, I have recovered. Why don’t you return back towork?”

“Your hand still cannot touch the water. If I return back towork, who is going to help you wash your face? Who is going to wash your foodcontainers?” Qu Yunxuan said as she inserts the straw into the yogurt drink.She held it up for Dong Xuebing. “Drink it. If you are really bored, I willaccompany you for a walk near the hospital. Where do you want to go?”

Dong Xuebing was delighted to hear that. “Ok. We will justtake a walk nearby.” Dong Xuebing does not mind where they were going as longas Aunt Xuan was with him.

Half an hour later.

Dong Xuebing stood at the west entrance of JiangongHospital. He looked at the skies and sighed. “I finally see the skies again.”

Qu Yunxuan was holding onto him, helping him to walk. Bothof them strolled slowly towards the north direction.

There was a couple in front playing badminton with theirchild along the pavement. Qu Yunxuan helped Dong Xuebing walked towards theleft of the sidewalk to avoid them. But as they were walking past the family, footstepswere moving closer to their right and knocked into Dong Xuebing’s rightshoulders. “Ouch!”Dong Xuebing shouted.He could feel the pain in his shoulders, and he turned towards his right.“Watch where you are going!”

The middle age man did not apologize and continued his way.

“Xiao Bing, are you ok?” Qu Yunxuan nervously asked.

Dong Xuebing rubbed his shoulder and replied with a frowned.“I’m fine.”

Qu Yunxuan was furious. She shouted at the middle-aged man:“Hey you! Stop right there!”

The middle-aged man turned. “What’s wrong?”

“What’s wrong?” Qu Yunxuan angrily replied. “You had knockedinto my brother and can’t you even apologize?”

The middle-aged man who was carrying a leather bag repliedimpatiently: “I only touched him lightly, why should are you making a fuss?”

“My brother’s shoulder was injured, and you had hurt him.”Qu Yunxuan stared at him and said: “I want you to apologize to him now.”

Dong Xuebing felt this man looks familiar. He tried torecall who this person was and where did he see him before.

The man frowned: “Are you crazy?” 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

“You are the crazy one!” Dong Xuebing was pissed. He pointsat the man and shouts: “I dare you to say it one more time!”

The man snorted and walked away quickly.

Dong Xuebing was furious and walked faster to chase afterhim. “Stop right there!”

Qu Yunxuan also wanted to chase after that man. But DongXuebing had not recovered. She stopped and pull Dong Xuebing back. “Forget it.It is pointless to argue with that man.”

Dong Xuebing looked at the man’s back and suddenlyremembered who that man was. “Aunt Xuan, I remember who that ma was. I had seenhim on TV. He is an antique authenticator from a TV program. His surname isCheng. The host and guests of the program call him Teacher Cheng. He is anexpert in authenticating ancient notes and coins.” Dong Xuebing had worked part-timein the Antique City for some time and was interested in antiques. He oftenwatches these programs in his free time.

Qu Yunxuan shook her head. “Such a rude person can also bean expert?”

Dong Xuebing also snorted. “He looks so decent on TV. Ididn’t expect his character to be like this in real life.”

Qu Yunxuan’s phone rang, and she answered. “Hello...... hmmmm......yes...... there is a problem? How come? Then you can speak to him...... me? I am onleave...... What did he say? Cannot?” Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing. “How abouttomorrow? I will speak to him at his company...... ok...... ah..... must it be today?Wasn’t the project approved?”

Dong Xuebing knew that it was her work. He said: “You shouldgo. Your work is more important.”

Qu Yunxuan hesitated and said: “Fine. I will go back to the officein a while. Bye.”

“Is it your work at the Advertising division?”

Qu Yunxuan nodded. “There are some issues, and they need meto go back and settle it. Sigh.... I can’t even have a peaceful rest on my leave.Let’s go back. I will send you to the hospital first.”

“No. What if you fall down again?”

“Eh, I am not a kid anymore.” Dong Xuebing walked a fewsteps quickly. “See, my leg has healed. You should go now.”

“But......” Qu Yunxuan looked at him and swiped Dong Xuebing’sfringe to his side. “Then I will go off. You must take care on your way back.Watch out when you are crossing the roads and watch where you are going. Whenyou are walking up the steps, you must walk slower. Do you hear me?”

“Yes, yes, yes.......”

After Qu Yunxuan left, Dong Xuebing rubbed his achingshoulder.

All antique authenticator experts were wealthy, but what’sthe use of being wealthy if their characters are like this?

That’s right!

Antiques!

The risk of trading is too high. But I can make money fromantiques!
