Chapter 71 Zhou Gangxun is a fool
Ruan Zhijuan looked at the sand still mixed in with Zhou Gangxun's hair and blew on it with dissatisfaction, complaining, "Zhou Gangxun, you're twenty-seven years old, you're already an old adult, you can't even take care of yourself, how are you going to serve me? You're so stupid! You're the stupidest person in the world..."
The system was right; Zhou Gangxun was the dumbest.
Ruan Zhijuan huffed angrily, her fingers touching the rabbit sticker on the other side of Zhou Gangxun's neck. Why is he still wearing this? Humph, Zhou Gangxun is just a lapdog. He saves everything he gives him.
"It's all your fault! You made me fall into this stinky ditch. Humph, how come there's a ditch on the ground? And it's full of stinky garbage..." He kicked Zhou Gangxun, complaining, "I twisted my ankle too. Look, is my ankle swollen? Is it broken?"
"Zhou Gangxun, I didn't get to eat any of those delicious foods, and my favorite puppy slippers ran away. It's all your fault, your fault, your fault! I hate you, you stinky thing..."
After saying that, Ruan Zhijuan realized that he had fallen into a stinky ditch, and Zhou Gangxun was just holding him like that, how could he not feel disgusted at all? Didn't he always say that he was dirty and always went to take a bath?
"Really? That's so pitiful." Zhou Gangxun hugged Ruan Zhijuan and patted his bottom to coax him. He held his ankle and felt the bone. It wasn't broken. He guessed it was just a slight bruise. He could apply some safflower oil when they got back and it would be fine.
As the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Zhou Gangxun, you just mentioned the bidding. I will send you a public notice before it starts. The preliminary qualification review will probably take place next week..."
Gu Changting had just finished dealing with the messages on his phone when he looked up and found a boy in Zhou Gangxun's arms, still grumbling and cursing at him. "Who is this...?"
Zhou Gangxun made his point clear and first mentioned the bidding process, saying, "I will complete the qualification process in the next few days."
He covered Ruan Zhijuan's tear-streaked face with his palm, shielding her completely like a protective guardian. "My wife. I'll introduce her next time. It's not convenient today; she was just frightened."
After Zhou Gangxun finished speaking, he carried her to a less crowded area, poured some water on a tissue, and used it to wipe Ruan Zhijuan's face, hair, and body, teasing her as he said, "Wife, you look even more like a dirty little mouse now."
"Zhou Gangxun, I don't want to talk to you right now," Ruan Zhijuan said angrily, turning her head to the other side and resting her chin on Zhou Gangxun's shoulder.
"Oh, you don't want to talk to me now?" Zhou Gangxun nodded with a sense of boundaries, then coaxed with a hint of embarrassment, "Then what should I do? Didn't you say before that you wanted me to cooperate with the government? I've made a deal with one, but now I don't know who to talk to...?"
"So...you've got another project in mind?" Ruan Zhijuan exclaimed in amazement. Didn't Zhou Gangxun just close one yesterday? Xiao Ma had said before that projects were hard to come by, but Zhou Gangxun seems to be doing it like a game, one a day. They're really no good, not even a fraction as good as Zhou Gangxun. Hmph.
"After clearing the roadblocks, we should get about 10,000 yuan in the next two days." Zhou Gangxun wanted to smoke again. He put a cigarette in his mouth, thought for a moment, and then lit it. He changed his position to face the wind. "When the money comes through, I'll buy you a cell phone."
"I'll answer the phone next time you call."
"A cell phone?" Ruan Zhijuan's eyes lit up. She raised her head and bargained with Zhou Gangxun, "Then I want an expensive one, at least a few hundred or a thousand yuan. Zhou Gangxun, how much is your cell phone?"
Zhou Gangxun listened to Ruan Zhijuan's estimated price without saying a word. His phone cost over ten thousand yuan; it was a high-end luxury model from Sony...
He thought for a moment, found a relatively reasonable price, and lied, "Four thousand... If you want it, I can find someone to get one from Hong Kong. There probably aren't any in Fucheng."
Four thousand yuan? Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhijuan suddenly struggled to her feet. How could such a tiny metal shell cost three times more than him?
Is it going to be worshipped because it's so expensive?
No wonder TV shows say that rich people like to support other people outside the home; supporting a person is much cheaper than supporting a phone case.
"Then...then get me one, just like yours," Ruan Zhijuan said softly. Zhou Gangxun uses such a good phone, he should have one too.
But he really thought it was so expensive, so expensive! A phone that costs four thousand dollars, how much good food could that buy? He still hadn't spent all the six hundred dollars that Zhou Gangxun had given him.
Ruan Zhijuan thought about it and then changed her mind. What was so great about this little broken box? Their house had such a big TV box.
Moreover, he felt that Zhou Gangxun's money was his own, so he would be heartbroken to take four thousand dollars out of his pocket. He was even reluctant to go see a doctor for himself and had to coax himself to do so.
Zhou Gangxun glanced at Ruan Zhijuan, who had fallen silent, turned his head to exhale smoke, and said, "Everyone has a cell phone. If you don't, aren't you at a disadvantage and falling behind?"
"You can make calls, send messages, take photos, browse the internet, and play games. It used to cost four thousand dollars, but it should be cheaper now, less than two thousand dollars." He added the extra amount, but Ruan Zhijuan wouldn't know.
"Less than two thousand dollars?" Ruan Zhijuan blinked and thought. That seemed to be much cheaper. Compared to the previous four thousand dollars, two thousand dollars obviously didn't feel so expensive. Moreover, Zhou Gangxun said it was less than two thousand dollars.
Did Zhou Gangxun overpay? He bought it for four thousand dollars before, but now he can buy it for a little over a thousand. Zhou Gangxun is still stupid.
Thinking about it this way, Ruan Zhijuan felt even less that it was expensive, and he didn't feel so bad about it anymore. He nestled in Zhou Gangxun's arms and gave orders, "Then let's buy it, let's buy it. Ask them to lower the price a little more, a little over a thousand yuan would be best, do you hear me, Zhou Gangxun?"
Zhou Gangxun responded, took a few quick puffs, and then choked off the cigarette. He was calculating in his mind that if he won the bid for the net profit, the contract for the highway construction project would be around seven or eight million yuan, and the construction period for severely damaged sections would be about two to three months. After deducting labor costs, rented equipment and vehicles, and the cost of affiliated companies, he could roughly estimate that he could make a profit of more than 40 yuan.
When the time comes, he'll convert the 400,000 into cash and let his wife count it; then she won't be clueless about money anymore.
"Zhou Gangxun, what's wrong with your leg? It seems to be shaking." Ruan Zhijuan lowered her head and stared at Zhou Gangxun's leg from the side. "Zhou Gangxun, is your leg broken?"
"Yes, it's broken," Zhou Gangxun exaggerated.
Ruan Zhijuan's red eyes widened suddenly, her head stood up, and it was broken... her leg was broken! Wasn't Zhou Gangxun perfectly fine?
He clung tightly to Zhou Gangxun's neck with one arm, afraid of falling, while his other hand reached out and gently touched something that looked like several iron pipes or frames. He said in a panic, "How did it break? Is it... is it serious?"
"It's very serious." Zhou Gangxun lowered his eyes, observing Ruan Zhijuan's expression. What was she thinking? Was she worried that he couldn't support her and wanted to kick her out?
"Didn't you see a doctor? Did they refuse to treat you because you didn't have money... that's why it broke?" Ruan Zhijuan grabbed Zhou Gangxun's neck, her other hand searching for money on her person. "I brought money, Zhou Gangxun, go and tell them to reconnect it. Once it's reconnected, won't it be alright...?"
He patted Zhou Gangxun's arm impatiently, "Can you...can you catch it well? Can you catch it well? Don't just stand there."
If his leg is broken... will Zhou Gangxun be able to hold him anymore? Will he still be able to earn money to support him in the future?
Zhou Gangxun glanced at the large wad of cash in Ruan Zhijuan's hand and the bank card that she had been hiding "tightly." He paused for a moment, seemingly realizing that the joke he was making was going too far for Ruan Zhijuan if he continued.
He stuffed the money back into Ruan Zhijuan's pocket, saying, "Didn't I tell you that 20,000 yuan can't be taken out and used?"
"Ruan Zhijuan, don't spend money on men, it will bring you bad luck, including me."
Ruan Zhijuan looked at Zhou Gangxun, her red eyes blinking rapidly, "But your leg is broken."
Zhou Gangxun is a fool; he doesn't even know that money is meant to be spent.
Ruan Zhijuan suspected that Zhou Gangxun had no idea what it would be like to have a broken leg. He would be missing a part of his leg, he would be bullied, people would tease him, call him a cripple, and if someone bumped into him, he wouldn't be able to get up or catch up with them...
Ruan Zhijuan didn't like it; he didn't like this feeling. But Zhou Gangxun was a fool; he couldn't explain it to him.
Looking at the serious expression on Ruan Zhijuan's face, Zhou Gangxun swallowed hard and said, "It's been reconnected. With some rest, it will recover to its previous state."
He changed the subject, saying, "The painkillers aren't very effective; it still hurts a bit."
Does it hurt a lot...? Ruan Zhijuan stared at Zhou Gangxun's leg for a while, "I...I..."
He groaned and couldn't explain clearly. He pouted and, a little unhappy, hooked his fingers up and lifted his clothes a little, as if to ask Zhou Gangxun if he wanted to eat something, saying that eating would make him feel better and relieve the pain.
Zhou Gangxun watched as his wife began to shyly lift her clothes, her eyes stealthily glancing at him.
naughty rat.
He's being so provocative in broad daylight; what a slutty wife of his.
Ruan Zhijuan glanced at Zhou Gangxun with her eyes lowered, muttering the rule under her breath, "Take one bite, two bites at most... no more than that."
"Lifting your clothes up in public, are you an exhibitionist? Wife." Zhou Gangxun's ears were filled with a slight buzz. He pressed down on Ruan Zhijuan's clothes, rubbed his face against Ruan Zhijuan's clean face, buried his breath, and kissed her.
It's more effective than cigarettes; it makes your blood rush to your head...
