Preparing to make a fortune

School ended at noon.

He Li, who was about to leave school, saw Miao Xiaoyu waving at him from afar at the school gate.

Wu Gang, seeing this, tactfully prepared to slip away.

He certainly didn't want to be a third wheel between the two of them.

However, just before he left, He Li called out to him!

"Don't slip away so fast, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" Wu Gang scratched the back of his head.

He Li instructed, "Wait for my call this afternoon, then drive out your family's three-wheeled cargo truck for me to use!"

"What are you going to do?" Wu Gang was even more confused.

"Make money!" He Li continued, "Anyway, I'll explain it to you later, so don't ask so many silly questions. Oh, and remember to bring all the pocket money you've secretly saved up."

"Alright!" Wu Gang thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he didn't know what He Li wanted to do.

But the two had been good friends since middle school.

Six years of good brotherhood, he was still willing to trust him.

"What were you two just talking about?" Seeing He Li approach, Miao Xiaoyu glanced at the departing Wu Gang and asked He Li curiously. The latter shrugged, "Discussing with him how to make some money to spend."

"After graduating from high school, we'll be adults."

"We can't always rely on our parents for money forever!"

"During this holiday period, I plan to earn some money as startup capital for a business and plan ahead."

As he spoke, Miao Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled with admiration.

As expected of the man she admired, while other peers were thinking of traveling and relaxing during the holidays, her beloved was only thinking about the future and striving for a beautiful tomorrow.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and He Li's image grew a few points taller in her heart.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"If you need me to, I..."

"I can also help you!" she said shyly.

He Li nodded, "Okay!"

"Then wait for my call this afternoon, and we'll go together."

"Mhm~" Miao Xiaoyu showed a sweet smile.

Not far behind, Liu Yuyan, who was also planning to go home, felt very displeased watching He Li and Miao Xiaoyu chatting and laughing. However, a remark from her best friend, Li Feng, cheered her up again.

"Yu Yan, let's hurry up! After dinner, we still have to go to Yu Jianxin's concert!"

"Don't waste the two tickets He Li snatched for us!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuyan beamed with joy.

Yu Jianxin is a popular actress and singer in Wu Kingdom.

She is also her idol and the goal she worships!

Some time ago, news suddenly mentioned that Yu Jianxin had decided to hold a concert in their Ye City!

This made her incredibly happy. She immediately ordered He Li to queue for a whole day to help her get two tickets. Thinking of He Li's efforts for her and the fact that she could see her idol... Liu Yuyan's mood also brightened.

She quickened her pace and followed Li Feng away.

He Li looked up and glanced at their backs.

A somewhat enigmatic smile appeared on his face.

Miao Xiaoyu was a little curious, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting..."

"What is it? You'll find out this afternoon!"

He Li smiled without speaking. After returning home, eating dinner, and resting for a while, he contacted Wu Gang to pick him up. When the latter arrived, and then picked up Miao Xiaoyu under He Li's instructions, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you planning to do?"

"Sell umbrellas and raincoats!" He Li replied.

Wu Gang slammed on the brakes. He looked up at the clear sky and then at He Li, "Are you still half-asleep?"

He Li couldn't be bothered to respond to him.

He just said, "I observed the celestial phenomena last night, and it will definitely rain this afternoon!"

"And it'll be heavy rain. We can set up a stall outside Yu Jianxin's concert and sell umbrellas, charging whatever we want."

"Trust me, we'll make a killing!"

Wu Gang didn't believe in observing celestial phenomena.

But seeing He Li so confident, after a slight hesitation, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "I'll believe your nonsense. I bought a computer recently, so I only have a little over a thousand yuan left, and I'm giving it all to you."

"Don't worry, we won't lose money!" He Li smiled.

Miao Xiaoyu also said, "I believe you too."

"I have 1... 10,000 yuan in pocket money to contribute."

"Is that enough?" Miao Xiaoyu originally wanted to say she had a million, but was afraid the number was too large and would discourage He Li.

After all, her pocket money was in the millions, while ordinary people might take years or even decades to earn that much. It was too discouraging, and she didn't want the person she liked to be hurt by it.

However, ten thousand yuan was still a lot.

Wu Gang was shocked, "Holy crap, ten thousand?"

"Goddess Miao is a rich girl?"

"Why didn't I notice that in school before?"

"She's more low-key!" He Li smiled.

Miao Xiaoyu's ten thousand, Wu Gang's one thousand, and his own two thousand-plus pocket money were almost enough.

"Sigh, if only I hadn't wasted money chasing Liu Yuyan before..."

"I should be able to take out more now."

Shaking his head, he arrived at the wholesale market. He Li bought over 1,300 raincoats and umbrellas at a price of 10 yuan each. As he transported these goods to the concert, he couldn't help but recall his previous life... On this very day in his previous life, Liu Yuyan and Li Feng went to a concert, and he was the one who braved the rain to deliver umbrellas to them.

At that time, he saw with his own eyes... many temporary vendors buying umbrellas to sell.

They could sell them for dozens of yuan each.

The quick-reacting vendors that day made a fortune!

This time, he wouldn't deserve his rebirth if he didn't make money by acting in advance.

"Li Zi, where should we set up our stall?" Upon reaching their destination, Wu Gang frowned as he scanned the dense array of stalls in the plaza. The good spots seemed to have already been taken.

He Li, however, was not flustered: "Just set up at the intersection!"

"It's best if everyone who comes can see it."

"That way, when it rains, they'll all think of us."

"And after it rains, other vendors will have to pack up, but we'll just move directly to the concert entrance."

"Good idea!" Wu Gang's eyes lit up.

The group parked the car and began to set up their stall.

Coincidentally, Liu Yuyan, Li Feng, and Li Lingjie, who had bought tickets from who knows where, also arrived by car and saw He Li by the roadside as soon as they got out... However, all three had strange expressions.

"He Li, I can understand you setting up a stall to make money."

"But you're... selling umbrellas and raincoats on a sunny day?"

Li Feng said she couldn't understand.

Li Lingjie seized the opportunity to mock him wildly, "I didn't expect our Ye City Middle School's top student to have such a muddled moment? Tsk tsk, the idea of running around selling umbrellas on a sunny day is quite unique."

"With such a brilliant idea, how can I not help you share it in the class group and on Moments?"

He said a few sarcastic remarks.

He took out his phone and snapped a few pictures.

As soon as the photos were sent to the class group, the group immediately exploded... "Oh? What kind of operation is selling umbrellas on a sunny day?"

"This is called, being too clever by half!"

"He Li's reputation is completely ruined now!"

"Lol, still a top student, he must have studied himself silly, right?"

"What are you saying? Even if he's silly, he's better than you!"

"At least he's handsome, you guys are useless!"

"Hmph, I'll just watch him lose all his money..."

...Li Lingjie glanced at the class group and saw that most of the boys were mocking He Li, which made him burst into laughter.

Liu Yuyan also frowned beside him.

But she wasn't blaming He Li for suddenly being foolish.

She thought He Li was doing this to get her attention.

She just felt that this method was too childish!

"Knowing I was coming to the concert, he deliberately acted foolish, setting up a stall to sell umbrellas and raincoats on a sunny day to get my attention?" Liu Yuyan shook her head, "Although it's a method, it's too childish."

"Even if I give in to your wishes and proactively ease our relationship by telling you to pack up, what then?"

"Won't you still lose all your money?"

"All these goods must have cost at least a thousand yuan, right?"

"Wouldn't it be better to buy me some gifts?"

"Anyway, my birthday is in two days!"

"Always trying to be clever!" Liu Yuyan shook her head with slight disappointment and didn't plan to say anything to He Li.

But considering that He Li had suffered such a great loss for her sake this time, she couldn't help but secretly think, "Forget it, I'm soft-hearted. Seeing you suffer such a great loss for me..."

"As long as you come and apologize to me."

"Then I'll forgive you and we'll go back to how we were before!"

"But I won't say this out loud."

"Whether you can seize the opportunity is up to you."

After muttering a few words to herself, Liu Yuyan shot He Li a meaningful look and hurried towards the concert venue. Li Lingjie, seeing this, showed a smirking grin and wanted to mock him a few more times.

But seeing Miao Xiaoyu staring at him with a frosty expression, as if she would rush up and slap him at any moment... and then seeing Wu Gang's clenched fists... he felt a pang of fear but still stubbornly said, "Hmph, you'll lose several thousand yuan this time, let's see if you cry then!"

After speaking, he fawned and chased after Liu Yuyan... He Li looked at his retreating back, not angry but laughing instead.

He almost burst out laughing!

"Be proud, I'll sell you an umbrella for five hundred yuan later!"

"And you'll be miserable, but have no choice but to buy it!"

"I'll even post it in the class group!"

"The title will be 'Met a Big Sucker'!"

"The title will be 'Met a Big Sucker'!"
