Chapter 183 Pierre's Reminder
Liu Weidong couldn't carry so much stuff by himself, so he spent an extra fifty yuan on fuel to have Ma Yongxian send a hand tractor from Gonggeng Village to help deliver the goods to the Western restaurant.
Upon receiving the news, Pierre rushed out to greet him. Seeing so many dried matsutake mushrooms, he was overjoyed and immediately tried to give Liu Weidong a hug.
"Stop!" Liu Weidong quickly dodged the overly enthusiastic Frenchman and pointed to the goods he had brought: "Let's get down to business first and weigh them!"
Pierre, of course, did not object. He called a few waiters to help him weigh all the dried matsutake mushrooms and truffles that Liu Weidong had brought.
"136 catties of dried matsutake mushrooms, 12 catties of truffles..." The Frenchman started using a calculator and quickly calculated the price: "The total is 46,800 foreign exchange certificates. Is this amount correct?"
Liu Weidong had gone through the process several times before leaving, and now he nodded in satisfaction, saying, "That's right!"
“That’s good!” Pierre was a straightforward man. He immediately opened the office safe, counted out more than 46,000 foreign exchange certificates, and handed them to Liu Weidong.
Liu Weidong counted them all out in front of him, then put the thick stack of foreign exchange certificates into his bag and laughed, "Old Pi, you look radiant. You must have made a lot of money dealing in these things, right?"
Pierre smiled happily and said to Liu Weidong with satisfaction, "To be honest, the money I'm making from these mushrooms is already more than my salary at the restaurant. I owe it all to you, haha!"
However, the Frenchman quickly added with a worried look, "The problem is that there are too few dried matsutake mushrooms. Many of our competitors want them, and the supply simply can't meet the demand!"
Liu Weidong smiled and said, "I've already been thinking about this problem, and there should be a solution soon, so don't worry!"
Pierre exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful! Whether I become a millionaire depends entirely on you!"
Liu Weidong felt that the Frenchmen had a rather narrow view. Were they satisfied with being millionaires? They had finally been reborn, so their achievements should definitely be greater than in their previous life!
Liu Weidong's assets in his previous life were worth billions, so after his rebirth, they should easily be worth tens of billions. As long as Pierre follows him closely, becoming a billionaire won't be difficult!
Just as Liu Weidong was thinking this, the Frenchman winked and asked, "Who exactly is that beautiful lady who came with you a few days ago?"
Seeing Pierre's sneaky look, Liu Weidong immediately became wary and said, "Why are you asking this? I'm warning you, don't you dare try anything with her!"
"I only love my wife and have no interest in other women. You can't insult me like that!" The Frenchman looked aggrieved and whispered to Liu Weidong, "I just feel that your relationship seems unusual. Could she be your mistress?"
"Ahem... Don't talk nonsense." Liu Weidong explained seriously, "She's my teacher's daughter. According to Chinese tradition, she's no different from my sister. It's normal for us to be close!"
Pierre asked, full of suspicion, "Really?"
Liu Weidong said seriously, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask your other colleagues. Isn't my senior sister almost like a biological sister?"
Seeing that Liu Weidong didn't seem to be making it up, the Frenchman couldn't help but scratch his head and say, "That's strange. I think the way that lady looked at you was a bit unusual. She clearly had a very good impression of you."
Pierre actually noticed, which surprised He Weidong. The Frenchman really is someone who's always in love; he's particularly sensitive in this regard!
However, Liu Weidong maintained a calm demeanor on the surface and said to Pierre indifferently, "You must be mistaken, that's just the way you look at a relative!"
"Let's not talk about your senior sister for now, let's talk about Anna!" However, the Frenchman changed the subject and began to talk about Anna, the incredibly hot blonde beauty and heiress of the perfume company.
Liu Weidong continued to feign ignorance, saying inexplicably, "There's even less to discuss with Anna. I simply sold her the ambergris. I gave her the item, received the money, the transaction is complete, it's that simple."
Pierre smiled knowingly, "I don't think it's that simple. After you left, Anna asked me a lot of questions about you. It seems she's not only interested in ambergris, but even more so in you as the seller. She even said she'd like to come see you sometime!"
Liu Weidong's heart skipped a beat. Could that foreign woman be serious? Anna was clearly a woman of action; if she really came to the village, it would be a huge problem.
Seeing Liu Weidong remain silent, Pierre chuckled and said, "Now you're scared, aren't you? But don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would betray a friend. I didn't give her your address!"
Liu Weidong breathed a sigh of relief, then said somewhat helplessly, "How could a woman as beautiful and wealthy as Miss Anna be interested in an ordinary farmer like me? It just doesn't make sense!"
Pierre chuckled and patted Liu Weidong on the shoulder, saying, "That's love, there's no logic to it. Miss Anna is such a good catch, you should be happy, why do you look so troubled!"
"You don't understand. I just want to be a quiet, handsome man, focusing on making money, and I don't want to be bothered by too many people." Liu Weidong shook his head, and these words almost made the Frenchman suffer internal injuries.
Although Anna's situation was giving Liu Weidong a headache, the thick stack of foreign exchange certificates did a good job of soothing his depressed mood. So when he left the Western restaurant, Liu Weidong was in a pretty good mood.
Having so many foreign exchange certificates on him wasn't of much use, so Liu Weidong, familiar with the place, found the scalpers in front of the Friendship Store and planned to exchange some of them for RMB.
Mao Tou greeted Liu Weidong with great enthusiasm and said with admiration, "Brother Weidong, you don't know this, do you? Even Tiger Master praised your famous saying, saying that it's not easy for someone so young to see things so clearly!"
Liu Weidong asked, bewildered, "What famous quote did I say? Why don't you remember it?"
"It's that line... cough cough!" Mao Tou coughed twice, putting on a profound look, and said, "The martial world isn't just about fighting and killing; it's about human relationships and social interactions!"
Liu Weidong then realized that Tiger had praised his casual remark so highly, and he couldn't help but smile wryly, "I just said it offhand, Tiger thinks too highly of me. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's exchange the foreign exchange certificates!"
Mao Tou, of course, wouldn't refuse, and quickly asked Liu Weidong, "Brother Weidong, how much are you planning to exchange this time?"
Liu Weidong originally planned to exchange all the foreign exchange certificates he had. Since there was nothing he wanted to buy at the moment, he figured it would be better to exchange them for RMB and deposit them in a bank to earn interest than to keep them in his hands.
However, at that moment, Liu Weidong suddenly saw the goods displayed in the Friendship Store window, and was immediately overjoyed, changing his mind at the same time.
