Rebirth 1989: My Unlucky Career

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Li Mengshi's wild idea.

"You want to do business with me?"

"That's right. I'll stand by and act as your secretary."

Li Mengshi said with a smile.

Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"Doing business is boring, you might as well have fun here and there."

Unexpectedly, Li Mengshi shook her head:

"Don't forget that our whole family is in business, so it's not boring to me."

After a pause, as if afraid that Zhao Zhuo would disagree, Li Mengshi continued:

"Okay, that's what we've settled on!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo could only nodded with a wry smile.

"Then let's go."

Zhao Zhuo said.

"Ah, where to go?"

Li Mengshi was stunned.

"Of course I'm going to find a serious restaurant."

In the end, the two found an authentic Russian restaurant.

"Alas, I, a Chinese who loves Chinese food, can't escape the fate of eating Russian food! It's sad, it's a shame!"

Li Mengshi feebly ate the beef in front of her, complaining as she ate.

"Well, of course you can't find an authentic Chinese restaurant here. Stop complaining and just make do with it.

When you return home, I’ll treat you to a big dinner.”

Zhao Zhuo said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mengshi suddenly became energetic:

"This is what you said, don't deny it when the time comes!"

Zhao Zhuo couldn’t laugh or cry:

"How can you refuse to admit your guilt when you spit and nail it? Besides, it's not a big deal to have a meal."

Li Mengshi smiled:

"I have never tasted authentic Fengtian cuisine. I really want to try the pork stewed vermicelli and ground three delicacies. They sound so delicious!"

Zhao Zhuo didn't expect that the feast Li Mengshi mentioned would be pork stewed with vermicelli, and he couldn't help but be speechless for a moment.

"Your... understanding of feasts is really unique."

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly.

"Oh? What is the feast you are talking about?"

Li Mengshi asked curiously.

Zhao Zhuo thought for a while and said:

"Then it must at least be all kinds of seafood."

Unexpectedly, when Li Mengshi heard the word seafood, she curled her lips:

"Have you forgotten that I am from the south, and I have been tired of eating seafood since I was a child?"

Only then did Zhao Zhuo remember that Li Mengshi was from Yangcheng, a seaside city...

The two of them ate and chatted. Time passed by unconsciously, and it was late at night soon.

They agreed to meet in front of Zhao Zhuo's hotel the next day, and the two separated.

…

Early the next morning, the two people met again at the door of the hotel.

Zhao Zhuo was surprised to find that Li Mengshi was wearing professional clothes and a pair of glasses.

"What are you dressed like this?"

Zhao Zhuo asked with some confusion.

Hearing this, Li Mengshi pushed up her glasses and said seriously:

"Of course it's to be your assistant."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo laughed and joked:

"That's troublesome. I'm afraid I can't afford an assistant like you."

Li Mengshi also smiled and said:

"Hehehe, it's not expensive. Just give me a token of ten thousand yuan."

"Okay, look at how much I'm worth and sell me."

The two joked for a while.

After a pause, Li Mengshi suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, did you ask about the contact information I gave you?"

"Not yet, I'm busy with the camera now, and I'll buy film later."

Zhao Zhuo said calmly.

Hearing this, Li Mengshi said with profound meaning:

"How about it? The camera is not cheap, right?"

Zhao Zhuo nodded:

"Not only is it not cheap, it is simply robbery. The price is seven to eight times higher."

"I've told you a long time ago that the things those middlemen are doing now are simply outrageous. It's like they've never seen money before. They're always talking like a lion."

Zhao Zhuo smiled:

"But the problem is not big. I have thought of a solution."

Hearing this, Li Mengshi suddenly became curious:

"You can think of a way to do this?! Tell me, how did you solve this problem?"

Li Mengshi knew very well the virtues of that kind of middleman.

Therefore, she couldn't even think of any way Zhao Zhuo could think of to solve such a problem.

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the photo studio.

"This is how I found it."

Zhao Zhuo pointed to the photo studio and said with a smile.

"Huh? Why did you come to the photo studio to buy a camera?"

Li Mengshi was a little confused.

"You'll find out soon."

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and walked in first.

Seeing this, Li Mengshi could only follow in quickly.

"How's it going, old Ivan?"

Zhao Zhuo entered the door and saw old Ivan playing with a camera, so he asked.

When Old Ivan saw Zhao Zhuo, he suddenly became excited.

"Zhao, guess how many cameras I got?"

"Oh, how many? Fifty?"

Zhao Zhuo guessed.

Old Ivan put on a proud look and shook his head lightly:

"More than that, guess again."

"Eighty parts?"

Zhao Zhuo had plenty of time anyway, so he patiently accompanied Old Ivan in the performance.

Sure enough, old Ivan shook his head again:

"That's not right! To tell you the truth, I got a whole hundred and twenty!"

Even Zhao Zhuo was shocked when he heard this number.

"You got so much in one day yesterday?"

Zhao Zhuo asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Old Ivan nodded proudly:

"After talking to you yesterday, I ran non-stop all over the city and took down almost all the cameras in all the photo studios that I no longer wanted to use!"

With that said, Old Iwan waved to Zhao Zhuo and Li Mengshi, and then led them to the warehouse at the back.

As soon as I entered the door, the shelves that were originally used to store miscellaneous items were densely packed with cameras!

Seeing this, Li Mengshi exclaimed softly, and then she understood what Zhao Zhuo's so-called solution was.

Looking at all the cameras, Li Mengshi couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhao Zhuo.

She never imagined that Zhao Zhuo could come up with such a method.

Zhao Zhuo looked at these cameras and frowned:

"With so many cameras, the quality varies, right? Don't pass it off as a good one and fool people with a broken camera."

Hearing this, old Ivan's head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, don't worry about this. I, old Ivan, am very reliable in doing things and will never do such deception."

Although he was so sure, Zhao Zhuo did not take it lightly.

"That's what I said, but I still have to check when I should. Let's go back to the same code."

Zhao Zhuo said calmly.

Hearing this, Old Ivan couldn't help but frowned secretly.

It seems that he did not expect that Zhao Zhuo would want to check every camera.

"What, do you have any objections?"

Zhao Zhuo keenly caught Old Ivan's melancholy expression and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked.

Hearing this, Old Ivan said with some embarrassment:

"This...there are still a few in here...the quality is not particularly good."

"What's the bad idea specifically?"

Zhao Zhuo asked calmly.

Old Ivan wanted to fool him, but when he saw Zhao Zhuo's keen eyes, he was suddenly shocked and had no choice but to say:

"It's just that there may be a little bump."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhuo searched carefully inside. After searching for a long time, he finally saw a camera that didn't look right.

"You call this thing a small bump???"

Zhao Zhuo looked at the camera with a corner knocked off and asked in disbelief.

"Do you think this thing is just cabbage? Can you still use it if you knock off a corner?"
