Wang Zhao Mou had done some liquidation before and his current private assets were enough to buy a real estate company with land reserves in the city.
The amount was enough to inject capital to make that piece of land “live”, or to build up something, to make a steady profit.
“One more thing.”
Old Qi was about to go and do his job, but suddenly his boss had thought of something.
At this time, the boss’s expression was indescribably deep.
“Sweet and fragrant roasted chestnuts!”
Uncle Yu held his hand on his mouth and exhaled a puff of white mist as soon as he opened his mouth to shout, which drifted away with the cold winter wind.
“It’s been getting colder and colder these days.” Uncle Yu turned his head and waved to Ji Lian Huo who had just come out of the stall next to him, “Come here to warm up first.”
Ji Lian Huo was still wearing the same thin single clothes as before, but they became whiter after being washed.
Because of the cold Ji Dabao was huddled into a ball on Ji Lian Huo’s back. He even stuffed his fingers into the crotch pants and warmed his little fingers with the temperature in the crook of his legs.
“Look at freezing Dabao.” Seeing Ji Dabao like this, Uncle Yu stomped his feet and looked at the young man beside him, “Xiao Ji, you have earned some money these two days. After selling all the fruits today, why don’t you go buy a small padded jacket for Dabao?”
Hearing this, Ji Lian Huo was silent. He let out a breath and rubbed his hands.
“Hey, Xiao Ji, what’s wrong with your face?” Uncle Yu suddenly saw a purple bruise mark on Ji Lian Huo’s face and frowned tightly.
“He lost the bet again…” Ji Lian Huo’s tone was flat, and his silent eyes were fixed on the street, “The creditor came to him, and he wanted to pay off the debt with a Dabao.”
In just a few words, Uncle Yu understood and his heart ached. Xiao Ji was still a child, and the wound on his body had never been healed.
Xiao Ji usually didn’t talk much except for buying and selling fruit, and he had never taken the initiative to cause trouble, so why was he suffering like this?
“Your half of the durian is also sold out.” Uncle Yu glanced at Ji Lian Huo’s cart, and said, “Why don’t you set up a stall on Temple Street, where there is less wind and more sunshine.”
Ji Lian Huo was silent for a long time, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the night bar opposite.
“Tsk.” Seeing the teenager’s appearance, Uncle Yu shook his head several times.
“How many days have passed, believe it or not, the young master has many important things to do, and he may have long forgotten you.”
“Why, you still have to remember him for the rest of your life, and set up a stall here every day?”
Uncle Yu looked at Ji Lian Huo with a look full of hatred for iron not being steel, “What kind of evil possessed you, do I have to find a sorceress for you?”
Ji Lian Huo didn’t speak, and slowly raised his hand to support Ji Dabao on his back.
“This old man will say something unpleasant. There must be many people who admire the Young Master of the Wang family. Who are you??”
Uncle Yu wanted to reprimand Xiao Ji a few more times when suddenly he saw several tall and burly men walking over.
“Look at it.” Uncle Yu subconsciously lowered his voice, and said, “This street is in chaos, these people are probably here to grab things, and then they will collect protection fees. If you don’t pay them, they will beat it.”
Ji Lian Huo looked at a few strong men walking on the street. These people have been wandering around for several days in a row.
Everyone seemed to have a clear division of labor, and they seemed to have little communication.
Obviously, there was an organization behind it, and it was much stronger than the previous batch of gangsters.
“What can we do about this?! I don’t know if the protection fee will rise again.” Uncle Yu sighed, making the hearts of both Ji Lian Huo and Ji Dabao next to him heavy.
Ji Dabao was really bitter in his heart. These days, he lived like he was in hell.
He didn’t have enough to eat, didn’t wear warm clothes, and his diapers were washed to pieces, so he could only barely put them on first.
Yesterday that gambler Li Da Quan came back after losing everything, and he set his sights on him in the blink of an eye, and brought his creditors, trying to cash him out.
