Make A Billion In The 80s - Chatper 74

However, he forgot one thing. There are handwritten access records on the bank passbook! Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming, Grandma Qiu suddenly had a sudden whim today and took out the passbook that was under the bed. I glanced at it casually, but I was shocked—how could it be taken out and stored back?

I asked Grandpa Qiu, but he said that he had never moved, so only Qiu Mingquan was left.

How did he get so much money at such a young age? Although he finally paid it back, what did he do?

Grandpa Qiu took a closer look, and when he saw the wound on his face, his heart skipped a beat.

This child is an abandoned baby picked up by the old couple. It was in the middle of the winter, and a delicate blue-flowered baby was lying on the side of the road. They couldn’t bear to see such a young child left alone, and the social welfare institutions were not perfect. Ask After a long time, they couldn’t find a good place for the abandoned baby. As a last resort, I adopted it.

Qiu Mingquan has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, and he never caused people to worry, but recently… the two old people thought of his extremely strange words and deeds recently, and suddenly wanted to go wrong.

——Is this child starting to turn bad? !

Leaving early and returning late, stealing money for private use, and having strange scars on his body, could it be that he did some bad deeds with bad guys!

Grandpa Qiu was in a trance for a while, and suddenly remembered what he saw a few days ago. Qiu Mingquan, who had been shy and timid since he was a child, had that desperate and fierce look in his eyes when facing Wang Daquan.

And the past, not a person at all!

“You…you tell me clearly!” Grandpa Qiu stood up abruptly, panting heavily.

He has always been seldom talkative and has no culture. He is usually silent and dull, but when he loses his temper, he is very scary.

“What should I do?” Qiu Mingquan asked anxiously in his heart, and asked Feng Rui for help.

“Just tell the truth, say that you heard the news on a whim, and you made money selling gold pens.” No matter how capable Feng Rui is, it’s okay at this time, “Don’t be so stupid as to tell me, otherwise they might find Taoist priests or The monk came to suppress me.”

The two old people only saw his anxious face and sweat dripping from his forehead. Grandma Qiu felt a pain in her heart, and muddy tears flowed down her cheeks.

“Xiaoquan…” She choked up and said, “I know our family is suffering. But you must not go astray if you are poor.”

Qiu Mingquan shook his head anxiously: “No! Grandma, I didn’t do anything bad! Believe me…”

“Then tell us, why did you steal the money?” Grandma Qiu looked at him anxiously.

Not to mention that it’s impossible to hide it, Qiu Mingquan bit the bullet and said: “Grandpa, grandma, I… I recently learned from others and started a little business.”

He took a deep breath and tried his best to look mature: “I bought the pens in the mall, the ones with gold nibs, and sold them at a higher price. These days, I made a lot of money.”

“Xiaoquan, you…” Grandma Qiu cried in despair. It’s fine to steal money, but you still tell such a big lie? !

Qiu Mingquan panicked, pulled down his schoolbag, and dumped all the money in it on the bed.

“Grandpa and grandma, look, the money is back, and I have earned so much!”

A large pile of old and new ten-yuan and five-yuan banknotes covered the bed, and there was also the crisp sound of steel coins colliding with each other. Under the dim light, the eyes of the two old people were straightened.

so much money! !

Qiu Mingquan forgot one thing, the myth of compound interest growth, ordinary people can’t figure it out, ordinary people can’t accept the fact that more than 80 yuan can be transformed into such a huge sum of money within ten days!

Grandpa Qiu opened his mouth, and suddenly became frightened: Is there any way to make a child earn so much money in a short period of time!

Grandma Qiu stared at him suspiciously, and suddenly saw a section of red rope protruding from his neck.

With a simple pull, the jade pendant was exposed, and a piece of dense precious light scattered under the dim light, warm and delicate, like frozen cream.

The two old men rubbed their eyes at the same time. Even if they don’t have any appreciation ability at all, they can tell that this is by no means a cheap thing.

“This… what is this?”

“I, I picked it up.” Qiu Mingquan blurted out, lying hastily, “I picked it up in a tree hole.”

At this urgent enough moment, President Feng was still whimpering: “Look, she doesn’t feel it when she touches me. Only when you touch me can I feel it.”

Grandpa Qiu looked around, suddenly picked up the small bench next to the bed, and hit Qiu Mingquan: “I told you to lie! I told you to be a bad boy!…”

This inexplicable precious jade, this huge sum of money that suddenly appeared, and that concealed and twinkling eyes!

The small bench hit his back, Qiu Mingquan’s small body staggered, and his back felt dull pain.

Qiu Mingquan was immediately stunned.

He has been very filial and obedient since he was a child, and he was rarely mischievous. Even in his previous life, he did not remember any time when he was beaten. On his buttocks, the pain made him tremble again.

“Grandpa, I, I…”

“Oh, your family still engages in domestic violence. The poorer you become, the more barbaric you become—” Feng Rui was taken aback, “Hey, hide, aren’t you stupid!”

Qiu Mingquan was about to dodge, but when he saw Grandpa’s trembling appearance, he was suddenly startled!

In the previous life, my grandfather was in poor health, and the poor family didn’t have any knowledge of annual physical examinations. He suddenly had a stroke and died after being paralyzed in bed for several years. In this life, don’t advance the cause of the stroke because of something!

Thinking about it this way, he didn’t dare to move at all, he was anxious and scared, tears filled his eyes quietly.

Seeing Qiu Mingquan being beaten stupidly, Grandma Qiu was so anxious that she burst into tears, and ran up tremblingly to stop him: “Okay, old man, stop beating, and ask carefully if you have something to say, Xiaoquan is not an ignorant child.”

Also said he is sensible? Looking at Qiu Mingquan’s reticence, Grandpa Qiu was so angry that his hands trembled: “If he doesn’t explain clearly today, I’ll just kill him!”

“Heretics! Even the parents who gave birth to you can’t beat and kill them every now and then, children are not private property.” Feng Rui complained angrily, “What’s more, you were adopted.”

“You hand over this unknown thing to the police station.” With tears in her eyes, she reached for the jade pendant on Qiu Mingquan’s neck, “Even if it was picked up, the person who lost it must be very anxious, so let’s return it.”

Qiu Mingquan was taken aback suddenly and was stunned.

“Hold on! Don’t listen to her!” Feng Rui was furious, his usual elegance was gone.

Hell, if he was really stalked by this old woman and handed over to a stranger, it would make the sky and the earth miserable, wouldn’t it kill him?

“No, no… This, this won’t work.” Qiu Mingquan tightly held his heart.

Grandpa Qiu was so angry that he suddenly snatched the jade pendant from his neck, raised his hand suddenly, and threw the whole thing out of the window!

Qiu Mingquan was completely blindfolded, watching the darkness outside, his heart seemed to be hit hard by something, and he yelled suddenly: “What are you doing?!”

With this roar, the room fell silent. The bench raised by Grandpa Qiu stopped in mid-air and did not come down for a long time, and Grandma Qiu didn’t make a sound.

“Grandpa, grandma, I…” Seeing the suddenly slumped expressions of the two old people, Qiu Mingquan vaguely knew that something had happened.

Grandpa Qiu stared at him blankly, his old face slowly changed from violent anger to dull sadness.

When he picked up this emaciated abandoned baby on the side of the road more than ten years ago, he has regarded this little life as his lifeblood for so many years.

Thinking of the child’s loving and well-behaved appearance in the past, and his roaring expression just now, Grandpa Qiu felt as if he had been torn apart by something.

He waved his hands desperately and sadly: “Okay, okay…we don’t care about you.”

He turned around with difficulty, got on the bed with one leg, and swept all the money on the bed to the ground. Then, with his hunched body on his back, he stopped saying a word.

Qiu Mingquan was scared out of his wits, eagerness, remorse, and worry all came to his mind: “Grandpa! I was wrong…Grandpa, don’t get mad!”

If he lives a new life, even if he has no ability to change his destiny and make his family live a worry-free life, he can’t piss grandpa to death in advance, right? !

He was at a loss, and wiped it on his face indiscriminately, scratching the wound and bleeding.

Staring blankly at the blood on his hand, an inexplicable anxiety and helplessness surged into his heart, chilling his bones.

Yes, this was not earned by his ability at all, and the two old men saw him right.

With trembling hands, he knelt on the head of the bed and picked up a few banknotes.

“Grandpa, don’t be angry, I’ll tear it up… tear it up, okay?”

Grandma Qiu hurried over and grabbed him. The oppressive atmosphere in the small and dilapidated rented room was almost suffocating.

Qiu Mingquan just felt that his mind was blank. These days, he was used to Feng Rui’s nagging and reprimand, as well as his sarcasm and pointers. Now his voice suddenly disappeared, but his heart gradually calmed down.

If that person is here, he must not like to see himself in such a daze and useless state, right?

No, he has to be strong.

Qiu Mingquan, who was kneeling on the ground, was silent for a long time, and then finally spoke with a hoarse voice.

“Grandpa and grandma. Everything I said is true.” He said softly, “I really earned the money by selling pens. Because the money is too much and it comes quickly, I am also very scared, no Dare to tell you.”

Neither of the old men made a sound.

“It was my mistake, and I will never hide it from you again next time.”

He gently grabbed a bunch of money on the ground, put it in grandma’s hand, and looked straight into the old man’s blank eyes: “But every penny here is earned cleanly. No crime of rape.”

“Someone taught me.” The half-grown child slowly looked around at the shopping mall staff and some curious customers. The voice was not loud, but it was very clear, “Grandpa Deng.”

“Grandpa Deng? Are you an adult?” The security chief didn’t wake up.

Qiu Mingquan pointed to the north leisurely: “Grandpa Xiaoping said it!”

He frowned on the ground and looked at Zhao Decheng with contempt: “You can’t do this, you don’t care about national affairs. Grandpa Deng said three years ago that poverty is not socialism. I don’t steal or rob. I use labor and What’s wrong with being wise and getting rich?”

The people around are all stunned, this kid, isn’t he too powerful?

Zhao Decheng blushed: “Comrade Xiaoping told us to work hard to get rich, you call it getting something for nothing! Yes, reselling it after changing hands, this is not getting something for nothing, what is it?!”

Qiu Mingquan looked at him with a cold and disdainful look.

“You are so big, how can you talk nonsense?” He sighed, the tone of a child is especially lethal, “I will analyze your shipments, investigate the needs of nearby schools, and take turns in several shopping malls Observe, I just ate a steamed bun and didn’t drink a sip of water, how can I say that I get something for nothing?”

The surrounding crowd: “…”

Convinced of this!

Wang Juan was surprised and soft-hearted when she heard it at the counter, and handed out her cup through the glass counter: “Come on, kid, drink some water.”

Qiu Mingquan ran over and took it gratefully, “Gududu” was not polite, and drank most of the glass.

“Thank you, Auntie.” President Feng, who occupied Qiu Mingquan’s body, put away his sharpness, with tears in his wet eyes, “You are better than my mother.”

Wang Juan gave a “puchi” smile: “Then what about your mother? Why didn’t she follow you and asked you to come alone.”

Qiu Mingquan’s eye circles turned red instantly: “…my mother died a long time ago.”

In the corner of consciousness, the real Qiu Mingquan’s head was full of black lines: “Hey, Mr. Feng, is the show over? I was abandoned, so my parents should still be alive?”

“Those who abandon children, treat them as dead if they are alive!” Feng Rui was categorical.

“…”

Wang Juan is an old salesperson in the stationery group. Zhao Decheng was promoted by relying on his family’s cousin relationship. She was not convinced by him at first. Now that she saw Qiu Mingquan’s pitiful appearance, her mother’s heart was so soft that she was in a mess, so she immediately helped him. .

“Section Chief Li, I think what this little doll said is quite right.” She slowly nodded her red nails painted with impatiens juice, “This is a shopping mall for the people, why don’t you let people’s children in? You say right?”

There were crowds of onlookers all around booing, and they all thought it was fun: “Yes, yes, I think this kid is right!”

“Wang Juan! I’m warning you, don’t collude with criminals!” Zhao Decheng pointed at Wang Juan with a fierce look in his eyes, “This month’s prize of ten yuan, do you still want it?”

Suddenly, a voice came from behind the crowd coldly, with majesty.

“Who is so good that you don’t give a single word of the evaluation? Is this how the evaluation of your stationery group is done?”

Zhao Decheng and Wang Juan were all taken aback when they saw who was coming. Isn’t the man who came out of the crowd the newly promoted General Manager Qu?

Manager Qu is young and strong. He graduated from a college of finance and economics with a bachelor’s degree. He is one of the young cadres who have been promoted on the commercial front.

Today, he is accompanying his old classmates to inspect and visit each floor, and he has been quietly listening outside for a while.

At first, he still held back his anger, until he heard Zhao Decheng’s threat, he was really angry. ——It is said that the old state-owned enterprises have a chaotic style and no rules and regulations to follow. Sure enough, I saw it with my own eyes today!

Manager Qu broke through the crowd and walked in, staring at Zhao Decheng coldly: “The leader of the stationery team, isn’t he, he’s so majestic and powerful.”

In the midst of winter, Zhao Decheng was almost sweating.

This is the general manager who just took office, and I heard that the higher-ups value him very much. There are three fires when a new official takes office, who knows where the fire will burn? …

Qu Yifei turned his head, and said kindly to Qiu Mingquan: “My little friend, if the mall really doesn’t sell you pens here, what will you do?”

The child in front of him looked at him with dark eyes: “You won’t.”

“Oh why?”

“Are you the big leader of the mall?” The real CEO Feng observed him with a naive and cunning expression, but the words he said were earth-shattering.

“First, you didn’t expressly say that you are not allowed to trade in your shopping mall, even if the police station asks, you won’t support it; second, as long as you are willing to fight and suffer without endangering the national economy and people’s livelihood, you can It’s not a mistake, on the contrary, it’s a necessary lubricant for the market.”

Wang Juan at the counter listened and spewed water out of the enamel cup.

–Ouch!

What are they talking about? It’s even better than what the big leaders of their shopping malls said at the New Year’s Day mobilization meeting!

Manager Qu opened his mouth slightly in shock, um… how old is this kid? Is it a thousand-year-old monster who has cultivated to become a master, or is it a family history?

With such a bunch of words, even calling him a graduate of the University of Finance and Economics can’t fault him!

After a long pause, he smiled.

He bent down himself, picked up all the pencil cases that had fallen on the floor, and put them in Qiu Mingquan’s schoolbag.

“Little friend, what you said is very good.” He turned his head and looked at Zhao Decheng calmly. “As long as they are customers of our commercial building, we will welcome them. I told you a long time ago that ‘serving the people’ is not a sentence.” Empty words, like you, don’t listen to the news, don’t learn the new spirit. Sooner or later, you will be eliminated by the times!”

Zhao Decheng’s face was flushed red, his calves were weak, but he didn’t dare to answer a word.

Qu Yifei looked at the two people in the security department again, with the same serious expression on his face: “As a comrade in the security department, he should know a little more about the law. This kid did nothing wrong. On the contrary, he bought something from this commercial building. In this shopping mall, you are more obliged to protect him, a small customer.”

Section Chief Li blushed: “General manager, I, we understand. I will definitely study hard next time!”

Manager Qu looked at Zhao Decheng, thinking that just now he and his old classmate had sworn to do a good job in management, and felt even more ashamed: “Such a young child knows to observe out of stock, as the leader of the stationery team, if you Be careful, shouldn’t you apply for the purchase earlier?”

Wang Juan stabbed without losing the opportunity: “We reported to the superior a few days ago that the Hero Gold Pen was selling well, and the team leader said we don’t need to take care of it.”

This Zhao Decheng, relying on his family’s relationship with the old leader, doesn’t respect them, the old front-line employees, Wang Juan has long been upset with him!

Manager Qu glared at Zhao Decheng again angrily: “For such a responsible salesperson, the award bonus is not allowed to be less than a penny. If you can’t do a good job, you will step down and make way!”

Zhao Decheng bowed his waist: “The leadership education is right! I know, I will definitely study hard!”

Qu Yifei smiled and patted Qiu Mingquan’s head again: “Little friend, don’t worry here, our boutique mall welcomes all customers, and you are welcome too!”

Parting the crowd, he walked towards his old classmate who was standing far away.

Behind him, Qiu Mingquan didn’t see Wei Qingyuan, and started to yell calmly again: “Uncles and aunts, take a look at these gold pens. Guaranteed to be genuine!…”

Zhao Decheng watched Manager Qu leave, feeling so angry that he was about to explode.

He picked up the landline in the counter and dialed the internal number: “Hello, Supply and Marketing Department? I’m the stationery counter! How’s the purchase of Hero gold pens? … What, all the goods will arrive in a week? Good!” ,That’s good!”

Throwing down the phone, he sneered, and squinted at Qiu Mingquan viciously: “Pay these peddlers to death!”

At this moment, several salespersons in the cabinet team were moved.

Dongshen City has always been the pioneer of the country’s economic trends and open-mindedness. The sensitivity to making money and wealth is the innate ability of many people in Dongshen City. Common people who lack vivid minds.

Wang Juan waved at Qiu Mingquan and called him over: “Xiaoquan, do you think Auntie treats you well?”

Qiu Mingquan nodded quickly: “Thank you, Aunt Wang, for taking care of me!”

This is not a polite remark, Wang Juan is not a mean person, whenever a customer bargains with Qiu Mingquan, she will help her by saying a few words: “Other shopping malls are also out of stock, and the whole country is out of stock!”

It is this simple truth, enough to retain some customers who wanted to try their luck in other shopping malls, and gritted their teeth to buy the gold pen in Qiu Mingquan’s hand. How could Qiu Mingquan not be grateful for this obvious kindness?

“You heard it too. Next week at the earliest, the 14K gold pen series will be fully available again. Be careful!” Wang Juan said worriedly.

There was no one on the last train, except for Qiu Mingquan who was alone, carrying a dilapidated schoolbag and carrying the new clothes of his grandparents bought in the boutique shopping mall in the morning. There were only two or three passengers.

Qiu Mingquan sat alone in the last row, silently looking out the window. Outside the window are shadowy trees and snowflakes that are getting bigger and bigger.

The old quilted jacket that didn’t fit him was empty, and the bowl of delicious wontons had already been digested and disappeared.
