South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Okay, stop crying, a grown man. You've almost finished eating. I'll take you to take a shower and change your clothes. Then I'll take you to the hospital. You need to check your leg. Don't let it get hurt." Yuan Mu waved his hand.

"Brother Yuan, you are so good to me." Hou Sanjin was so moved by Yuan Mu that he burst into tears.

"Okay, don't play this on me. After all, you passed through my hands, and I don't want you to do anything illegal. Since I've met you, I'll help you if I can." Yuan Mu looked at him and said with disgust.

"Well, Brother Yuan, don't worry. I will definitely not commit any crime and I will be an honest person." Hou Sanjin stretched out three fingers, and his expression was quite funny.

Soon, Yuan Mu took Hou Sanjin to take a bath and change clothes, and then took him to the hospital. After the doctor's examination, there was nothing wrong with his leg, just a slight fracture. The doctor put a small splint on his leg, and he would be healed in less than a month.

After putting on the splint, Yuan Mu took Hou Sanjin to a nearby guesthouse and booked a room for him.

"I can't stay here with you, I have to go back to Ningyang. Take this money for now. I'll buy you some food later. Take care of yourself after I'm gone." Yuan Mu took out a wad of money from his arms and handed it to Hou Sanjin.

Hou Sanjin was stunned for a moment when looking at the money in his hand, and then tears fell from his eyes.

"Look at you, you're doing this again. A grown man is always crying and wailing!" Yuan Mu was speechless.

"Brother Yuan! From childhood to adulthood, no one has been so kind to me except my mother." Hou Sanjin said with a choked voice.

"That's enough, hold it back! We are all from the same hometown. Although you have committed crimes before, it's good that you can correct them. Everyone will encounter troubles when they go out. Just be good and don't commit crimes. That will be the greatest reward for me."

"Brother Yuan, don't worry, I will never do anything wrong, and I will definitely return the money to you!" Hou Sanjin made assurances repeatedly, his eyes full of sincerity.

Until this moment, Hou Sanjin was completely infected by Yuan Mu's personal charm. Now, even if Yuan Mu said that shit smells good, he would believe it.

"Let's talk about that later. What do you plan to do when you recover from your illness?" Yuan Mu took out a cigarette and handed it to Hou Sanjin and asked.

"I plan to work for others first to save some capital, and then I will do wholesale and retail. Brother Yuan, you may think this business is insignificant, but it really makes money. Otherwise, I would not have taken out all my assets to gamble this time."

"But I have experience this time. When I find someone to buy goods, I will go to his factory to inspect it first. I will visit several factories. Besides, I can't invest all the money. I have to keep some money for the transition."

"Then I will sell it in surrounding cities and rural areas. When the time is right, I will head north. There are many people selling this stuff here now, and my hometown is in short supply of this stuff, so it will definitely sell well."

"As long as I work hard, I don't believe I can't make money. Then I will start a company and hire people to work for me!" Speaking of this, Hou Sanjin became energetic.

After hearing what Hou Sanjin said, Yuan Mu suddenly became thoughtful. He had always wanted to do business, but he was too busy to do anything else. Otherwise...

"Hey, how much money did you make at that time and invested it all?"

"I made a lot of money back then, more than two thousand. Now when I think about it, I feel like an idiot. How could I have trusted that person?" Hou Sanjin's face was full of regret.

"How about this, I'll give you the capital and you do it, but I won't interfere with your work. But I'll get 30% of your business, how about that?" Yuan Mu said after thinking for a while.

Hou Sanjin was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to speak.

"Brother Yuan, are you serious?"

"Well, you see, actually I have wanted to do business for a long time, but after all, I am only in this line of work and I simply don't have the time. Since you have done so well in the past, I will invest money in you and you just do it." Yuan Mu shrugged.

"Brother Yuan, aren't you afraid that I will lose your capital?"

"Hey! When doing business, there are gains and losses. Just do it boldly. If you lose, you lose." Yuan Mu waved his hand nonchalantly.

Hou Sanjin hesitated for a while, then nodded heavily. In fact, he didn't want to start from scratch because it was too difficult. Luck played a big part in the reason why he was able to accumulate wealth so quickly before.

"Okay, Brother Yuan, how much do you plan to invest?"

"I don't have too much, I'll give you one thousand." Yuan Mu thought for a while and said.

Although his salary was not high, he made a lot of money from outside, especially during the time in prison, he collected a lot of mountain products and wild animal furs. Later, he went to Changbai Mountain and collected a lot of valuable things.

Although this thing cannot be sold at a high price in Northeast China, it can be sold at a high price in Shenzhen. There are many rich people here, and he has indeed made a lot of money, so it is no problem for him to take out one thousand.

Hou Sanjin's eyes widened when he heard the number "one thousand". How much? Did he hear it wrong? One thousand? !

He knew that Yuan Mu was an investigator and a criminal policeman at that, and his monthly salary was at most forty or fifty yuan. Even if he was awarded for meritorious service, the reward money would be limited.

With Yuan Mu's salary, it would take at least two years to save up one thousand yuan. It would be a huge investment.

"Brother Yuan, do you really want to take out a thousand dollars?"

"Ah, do you think I'm making fun of you?"

"Brother Yuan, this is one thousand yuan, which is not a small amount. Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?"

"What do you think I am? I have seen countless people with my eyes, and you won't do that." Yuan Mu smiled confidently.

He had just observed Hou Sanjin, and he would definitely not run away with his thousand dollars.

"Okay! Since you trust me so much, Brother Yuan, I will do it. Don't worry, it will take two years at most, and then you can just sit back and wait to get the money!" Hou Sanjin patted his chest loudly, very confidently.

"Okay, then you just work hard. If you need anything to sell goods when you go back to Ningyang, you can tell me." Yuan Mu nodded with a smile.

"No problem. By the way, let's split the business in half. You can just take 30%. I'd feel guilty about that." Hou Sanjin said with difficulty.

"Okay, the fact that you have this intention proves that I didn't misjudge you. Just be down-to-earth. I don't want more, just 30%. Maybe you will earn more and more in the future, so then I will make money." Yuan Mu smiled.

"Brother Yuan, don't worry. I, Hou Sanjin, swear today that no matter how big my business is in the future, I will always have 30% of yours!"

"Okay, then you take a rest first. I'll go buy you something to eat. I'll have to leave after I'm done. Let's have a drink together next time we return to Ningyang." With that, Yuan Mu turned and left.
