Making Money Just By Breathing - Chapter 6.1: A Smooth Start

As soon as he put down his pen, Wang Yangguang’s stomach rumbled like thunder.

Being pulled out of his state of intense concentration, he suddenly realized he was hungry, which shows how serious he was just now.

Hurriedly finished his cold breakfast, grabbed his shoulder bag, and Wang Yangguang headed out, taking a taxi straight to the education bureau in Xiawadistrict.

Um, he originally intended to ride a bike…

But, considering today’s sun and the efficiency of travel, the newly minted tycoon Wang decided to ditch the two wheels and opt for four.

He felt quite pleased with himself.

He got off at a small road next to the education bureau, strolled inside, walked into an alley about two hundred meters away, and found a three-story building.

The building looked run-down, probably built thirty years ago, with a sign at the entrance that read: “Property Management Office of the Xiawa District Education Bureau.”

The Property Management Office is a subsidiary of the Education Bureau. Wang Yangguang didn’t know the exact difference between the two, but the Property Management Office was definitely a state-owned institution because his aunt, Wang Xiumei, worked here.

The building never saw sunlight all year round. As soon as he entered the gate, a cool breeze greeted him, dispelling the heat of the scorching sun.

Wang Yangguang climbed to the third floor, knocked on an office door based on memory, and walked in to meet his aunt’s surprised gaze.

“Hey, you little monkey, what brought you here to see your auntie? Come here, come here, want some water?”

“Thank you, Auntie, I’m not thirsty.”

Wang Yangguang sat opposite his aunt, smiling to please her, “Auntie, you look really good today, so youthful, is something good happening?”

Wang Xiumei grabbed Wang Yangguang’s hand, smiling broadly, “Hey, where did you learn to flatter like this? What do you want? Tell Auntie, whatever you want, Auntie can do it!”

Time was of the essence, so Wang Yangguang didn’t beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

“Auntie, I remember your unit has a small truck. I was wondering if I could borrow it for a few days?”

Wang Xiumei looked puzzled by the question, “What do you need the small truck for? Are you practicing driving after getting your driver’s license? Wait until your uncle finishes work tonight, you can take the Baojun he drives!”

Wang Yangguang had prepared his excuse long ago, so he responded naturally.

“I’m free during the summer vacation and I want to gain some social experience. I plan to sell some watermelons in the city to earn some pocket money. If I can borrow the small truck, I can save a lot of costs. I thought since your unit has a small truck and it’s summer vacation, there should be an opportunity. What do you think, Auntie, can you make the decision?”

Wang Xiumei’s expression suddenly became strange.

“I can definitely make the decision, but you, you little monkey— Hey, does my sister know about this?”

“I haven’t told them yet. I plan to earn some money to buy an air conditioner for home.”

When Wang Yangguang talked about his air conditioning plan, his expression even showed a bit of shyness.

Regardless of how the business goes, whether he makes money or not, Wang Yangguang will definitely find an opportunity to install an air conditioner for his parents.

Brothers are not lacking in money, just in excuses.

Doing business happens to be a good excuse to improve the living conditions at home.

Selling melons is a profitable venture, those who know, know.

Wang Xiumei almost burst into laughter at his words, grabbing Wang Yangguang’s hand and patting him affectionately like a good child.

It was actually a very heartwarming gesture, but it made Wang Yangguang, who considered himself an adult, feel a bit awkward.

But when you’re under someone else’s roof…

Suppressing his embarrassment as a grown man, Wang Yangguang coaxed his aunt, “Auntie, can you really handle it?”

“Hmph!”

Wang Xiumei snorted proudly and raised her head, “Your auntie is a director, how can’t I arrange for a car during the summer vacation?”
