“Valerie, this must be a joke!” Hans said.
The plump lady frowned. “No, this isn’t a joke. Big Fox, you’ve only had one earning more than 100,000 dollars, and this was that ti.”
Hans could not help but laugh. “How can that be? Last month, we had one deal from Arizona State University in Tucson from which we got 200,000 dollars. No problem with that earning, right?”
The plump lady nodded and said, “Yes, no problem, but the inco distribution ratio between you and Li is 40-60, so you did not get 100,000 dollars.”
Hearing this, both Li Du and Hans were stupefied!
They looked at each other. Mr. Li said, “We changed the distribution ratio.”
Hans said softly, “I-I-I had wanted to put it on record, but I think I forgot to.”
The plump lady said in surprise, “Isn’t your distribution ratio four to six?”
Li Du gave her bitter smile. “No—previously it was, but we changed it to equal parts.”
Valerie said cautiously, “My apologies—I checked the database, and there’s no new record, so…”
She glanced toward Hans in regret—his heart was breaking!
“Why? Why? Why, oh God! Why are you torturing ? Like my father, I serve you, I respect you, I trust you faithfully—”
“What are you doing?” Li Du said angrily.
Hans had knelt down, and was shedding pitiful tears like a child. “Why am I so unlucky—twice! Twice! Missed two chances to join the Hundred Thousand Club!”
Li Du helped him up, spread his arms out to give him a hug, and said helplessly, “Forget about it, bro, we just have to wait until next ti!”
“Next ti? Is the next ti possible?”
“Of course, no problem, that day will co soon,” Li Du consoled him, “just like last ti—who would have thought we could get our hands on a storage unit worth more than 300,000 dollars?”
Hans considered this and accepted the truth in disappointnt.
The main thing was that he had needed to accept the fact that he couldn’t enter the Hundred Thousand Club—if he didn’t accept it, nothing could be done.
Valerie said, “Li, please fill out this particulars form.”
Li Du shook his head. “No, I’m giving up the chance to join the club this ti.”
“Huh?” Hans, Valerie, and the staff around them were all taken aback.
Li Du shrugged his shoulders. “Big Fox and I are partners—how could I desert him and join the club alone?”
Hans was moved by his words; he grabbed Li’s arm and said, “Hey bro, don’t be f*cking stupid. Join it, quick, this is a rare opportunity!”
“If we join it together,” Li Du laughed, “then it’s a rare opportunity.”
Hans shoved him. “Is your insanity acting up? D*mn! I don’t need you to wait, or are you just pitying ? You can join it first!”
Li Du said, “If you don’t understand , then you can continue to try and persuade .”
Hans shouted, “You really have got ntal illness?”
“Yes,” Li Du said, “when you were infected with genital warts, I contracted ntal illness.”
Hans burst into laughter. “Yes, we’re really the best of partners.”
“Maybe Hollywood will use us as the blueprint to film a hot-selling movie in the future,” Li Du said, “called the ‘Best of Partners.’”
Hans said excitedly, “But I think the na ‘The Golden Pair’ is better?”
Mr. Li rejected this idea firmly. “No—that’s a no go!”
Both of them continued to joke, then bade Valerie goodbye before walking out of the main door of the association’s office.
Before leaving, Hans told her, “Help us to change the distribution ratio back to equal parts—we changed that a long ti ago.”
Valerie smiled. “I’ve already changed it. When you get 200,000 dollars next ti, then you will both join the club.”
“I will prepare champagne for you,” one of the staff mbers said with a smile. “Both of you are true partners—Big Fox, you know what I an.”
Hans patted Li Du’s shoulder, smiled, and said, “Of course, of course!”
Back at Flagstaff, they had to clear out all their junk, and went to the field to do so.
There were a lot of things in the car—it would have been too taxing for Godzilla to do it alone.
Li Du called the huge man Big Quinn, who drove his old pickup to the field. The children in the surrounding area dispersed once he got out of the car; even the dogs that were playing with each other ran off in fright when they saw Big Quinn.
Big Quinn’s face and body were definitely astounding—his fleshy face was already scary enough, but he had angular eyes, as well as a scar on his face.
Especially since night had already fallen, he looked even more nacing in the dark!
Li Du was sure that if it were the hottest part of the day, the hot perspiration on his body would turn to cold sweat.
This feeling affird his determination to win over this chap.
Godzilla was the fastest at gaining Big Quinn’s friendship. He had a big bag of grilled sausages with him, and offered Big Quinn a share imdiately. “Have your dinner.”
Big Quinn said courteously, “Thank you, partner, but I’ve eaten.”
Godzilla said, “You ate too little.”
Big Quinn twitched his nose, took a grilled sausage, and wolfed it down.
Li Du said, “Actually, you can co tomorrow. It’s a little late now, and we don’t plan on tidying up.”
Big Quinn spoke as he ate the sausage: “Oh, I know. I just swung by after work to take a look, make a plan. Mister, you know that the execution of sothing is always better with a plan.”
Li Du said, “Two ways of collaborating: 400 a day or 200 a car—you choose.”
Big Quinn quickly said, “200 a car—I can deal with them myself.”
Li Du laughed, “That’s not necessary. Godzilla can also help. When will you be free tomorrow to co back here and finish unloading and organizing everything?”
The reason for getting soone to help was not just because there were many goods in the car but also because it was a troubleso task.
There were four cars of goods in total, and they needed to unload everything. After that, they needed to sort out the pure rubbish and load it all back into the cars before sending it to the dump. The remaining goods would be left for the people from the flea market to choose from.
Upon reaching ho, they saw Rose, who had just finished work. She was holding so rice boxes in her hand as she waited for the elevator.
Li Du saw her and asked in surprise, “What nonsense are you holding in your hands? When I’m not at ho, you eat this stuff?”
Surprised at hearing his voice, Rose turned around happily. She pocketed her cell phone, ca forward to give him a hug, and said cheerfully, “You finally ca back.”
At this sight, the residents waiting for the elevator grinned, and soone said, “What a loving husband and wife.”
Li Du was speechless—did he have a strong husband look? How had he been misunderstood again?
He pushed Rose away and said helplessly, “Watch your image, lady cop!”
Rose said, “I’m too happy. When you were not ho, I could only eat takeaway. D*mn, the takeaway in Flagstaff has suddenly beco so awful.”
Li Du was not sure whether to feel happy or depressed–her words should be considered complints for him. As Rose was used to his cooking, she would find poorly-prepared takeaway food naturally disgusting.
