Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 62 Favor
In addition to the decrease in the number of people on the streets, Jiangcheng also made a discovery.

Those were the vendors around him, looking at him from time to time.

When she saw him looking over, she quickly looked away.

"..."

Jiang Cheng was speechless.

Could it be that these people wanted to borrow money from me again?
It would be fine if business was good in the next two days, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that everyone is out of money, and business will become more and more difficult as time goes on.

Not to mention, he still owes Mrs. Chen two thousand yuan, as well as the five thousand or seven thousand yuan renewal fee next month, so the pressure is enormous.

He shook his head and started roasting sweet potatoes.

Twenty or thirty minutes later, Lu Zicheng from the stall next door finally arrived, pushing a cart.

As soon as he set up the stall, he couldn't wait to say, "Jiang Cheng, did you know? The management fee for next month will be doubled."

"Well, I only found out about this when I went back. Alas, life is becoming more and more difficult." Jiang Cheng sighed.

"Yes!"

Lu Zicheng subconsciously wanted to curse, but reason told him that this was not the place to talk nonsense, so he could only sigh and say, "I knew it wasn't that simple. I originally thought that although the booth fee had increased a bit, I had to pay it for the sake of next month. In the end, the management fee doubled. It's really unbearable."

As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Cheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang Cheng was really scared.

Everyone else thinks they are rich.

The fact is, I am still in debt.

After thinking about it, he waved at the other party.

"what happened?"

Lu Zicheng walked up with some nervousness and anticipation.

Could it be that Jiang Cheng finally agreed to lend me some money because he saw that I was in a difficult situation?

He swore that he would pay it back when he had the money.

"I'll tell you a little piece of gossip. I also heard it from others."

Jiang Cheng lowered his voice and told him that the Wild Wolf Gang would leave within half a month.

"Really?"

Lu Zicheng didn't dare to show it, his eyes were wide open.

"It's very possible."

Jiang Cheng nodded. "So don't pay the booth fee two days from now. Because after you pay, you may only be able to open the booth for a few days, and then you have to pay again. This is different from the management fee and can be completely avoided."

"Yes, you are right."

Lu Zicheng nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice.

He didn't know whether the news was true or not, but he would rather believe it than not.

I just haven’t set up the stall for half a month. No, less than half a month, a little more than ten days.

If we pay it, we will have to pay it again when the Iron Fist Gang comes. At that time, we will lose both the wife and the army.

It’s better to wait and see for a while. If it is true, it means you have earned more than two thousand.

"Jiang Cheng, do you want to take a break for a while?"

Jiang Cheng didn't want to lie to him, otherwise it would be very awkward for both parties to meet.

"I have this."

He took out his membership card and made a gesture to keep quiet before handing it over.

The next moment, Lu Zicheng seemed to have seen something incredible. He was completely stunned and opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.

"Now you know?"

Jiang Cheng silently took back the membership card and put it in his pocket.

"I know, I know. So you are... no wonder..."

Lu Zicheng finally came to his senses and smiled bitterly.

Although he had never seen this kind of card before, he still recognized the words "Flying Eagle Boxing Gym" and "Senior Member" on it.

The gym's senior members all paid a monthly subscription of 5,000 yuan. He couldn't even earn that much in a month.

"You said before that you wanted to borrow money from me, and I said it depends. It's not that I don't want to lend it, but I don't have any money on me right now. There are so many fewer people on the street today, and I'm still worried about how to renew the bill next month."

Jiang Cheng shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Cheng, I didn't know. If I knew, I would never tell you about borrowing money."

Lu Zicheng hurriedly apologized.

Then he thought of something and asked quietly, "Where did you get the news you just mentioned?"

"if not."

Lu Zicheng took a breath of cold air.

Could the news from the boxing gym be false?
It seemed like the Wild Wolf Gang would really pack up and leave within half a month, so before leaving, they planned to make a fortune without caring about their manners.

"Luckily I knew the news, otherwise I would have really paid a sum of money two days later."

Lu Zicheng was very grateful.

"Jiang Cheng, thank you, thank you so much. This information alone is worth more than two thousand. Don't worry, I will definitely remember this favor."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and interrupted him.

For him, this was just a piece of cake.

There is also a fear of borrowing money involved.

Coincidentally, a guest came over and Lu Zicheng also walked back.

Despite this, my heart still couldn't calm down for a long time.

Time flies and it is evening.

Jiang Cheng took inventory and found that today's net profit was only a little over three hundred, which was more than one hundred less than yesterday's more than four hundred.

“Will it fall below 200 next?”

Jiang Cheng frowned.

I thought I had finally settled down and even applied for premium membership, but overnight, I became unstable again.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with applying for senior membership, and it successfully avoids a lot of trouble.

“I hope it won’t fall again.”

He thought to himself, looking towards the grain store in the distance, that he would have to buy smaller quantities of raw sweet potatoes today.

On the way back, it was visibly unsettled.

There were a lot more people hiding in the corners. Some of them knew Jiang Cheng, and when they saw it was him, they left immediately. However, a few stayed where they were, looking like they were in a dilemma.

Jiang Cheng could probably guess that these unfamiliar faces were probably under pressure and had to come out and snatch other people's business in order to cope with the doubled management fees.

Sympathy is sympathy, understanding is understanding, but if these people really take action, he will not be merciful.

……

All sounds are silent.

There were few stars in the night sky, and the entire slum was plunged into thick darkness.

In a yard.

Jiang Xiong and several others sat around the dining table, which was filled with delicious wine and food, including fish and meat. Even if Jiang Cheng were here, he would have drooled at the sight.

However, the few people at the table seemed to be in a low mood at the moment, with frowns on their faces, as if they were troubled by something.

After a while, one of them finally couldn't help but speak up: "Brother Xiong, the Wild Wolf Gang suddenly doubled the management fee these two days. This is definitely not a good thing. I feel that the Wild Wolf Gang is about to withdraw."

"Yeah, that's the noise before the previous gangs left. Not long after, the next gang arrived."

"During this period, there have been reports of the Iron Fist Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang fighting each other. I heard that the Wild Wolf Gang has more wins than losses. I thought the Wild Wolf Gang could still hold out for a while, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"Brother Xiong, what should we do next? When the Iron Fist Gang arrives, our lives will definitely not be as good as they are now, right?"

Listening to what they said, Jiang Xiong didn't say anything, but just drank alone.

How could he not know what these people had said?
