Jiang Hua put on his raincoat and walked out of the hotel. It wasn't raining heavily outside, but it was hard to say in this weather. It rained heavily and sometimes lightly, with no pattern.

He was about to go to the alley to pick up the car. After taking two steps, he found a small group of people busy beside the river not far away.

Those people were wearing raincoats and their faces were a bit green. There were men and women, and they looked like college students.

The most important thing is that Jiang Hua found an acquaintance, the suspicious middle-aged fishing man last time, mixed in among the students and surrounded by a group of people.

Jiang Hua became curious and walked towards Heti.

It has been raining heavily in the past few days. In order to prevent the river from overflowing, sandbags have been used to reinforce the edges.

The group of students Jiang Hua saw just now were busy with this matter.

"Students, this is the last section of the embankment. Once these sandbags are piled up, we can go back to school to rest."

said the middle-aged man in a raincoat.

"Professor Wu, please take a rest. We will do the rest."

The students surrounding the middle-aged man were chattering.

Jiang Hua walked over and happened to hear this conversation. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He didn't expect that the other person was actually a professor.

"Need help?"

He walked over with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, no need. We are volunteers from Qiong University. These are our duties. The weather is changeable now, so you should go home quickly."

A pretty female college student refused with a smile.

"Young man, I think you look familiar. Have we met somewhere?"

Professor Wu wore a pair of glasses today. He took them off, wiped the water droplets on them, put them back on, stared at Jiang Hua and said.

"You forgot, we are fishing friends and we met at the pier last time."

Jiang Hua said with a smile.

His tone of voice was somewhat familiar. The two of them just chatted a few words last time. He didn't even bring a fishing rod, so he was not a fishing friend at all.

"Ah, when you said that, I remembered that you are the little boss who borrowed money to do business."

Professor Wu looked like he was remembering.

"Are you a professor from Qiong University? I'm sorry, I didn't notice it last time."

Jiang Hua looked at the middle-aged man. Last time, he didn't wear glasses, wasn't dressed so elegantly, and drove a van with a brand name. He really didn't think of the other person's identity as a teacher.

"Professor Wu is an authority in our school. He is very powerful. He has published many papers in core journals."

"You are a business boss. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask Professor Wu for advice. His main topic is the development of small and medium-sized enterprises."

"Professor Wu is amazing. Many bosses of large state-owned factories have to ask him for advice when they encounter problems."

The students around him were chattering, praising this middle-aged professor as being rare in the sky and unparalleled on earth.

"Well, I happened to encounter difficulties in my business, and this really allowed me to meet a noble person."

Jiang Hua showed an expression of surprise and joy.

"What they say is a bit exaggerated, don't take it seriously."

Professor Wu was particularly humble.

There were not many sandbags left, so Jiang Hua helped and they were all moved quickly. The volunteer students waved goodbye to Professor Wu and went back to school.

"There is a lot of water on the road in this weather. Please be careful when driving."

Jiang Hua looked around, but didn't see the decked van.

"I'm a poor professor. How can I have the money to buy a car? I borrowed the van last time from someone else. If you don't mind, could you give me a ride?"

Professor Wu laughed and said very quietly.

"Okay, we are fishing friends, I will drive you back."

Jiang Hua also happened to want to know more about this somewhat mysterious university professor.

The two chatted and laughed and walked towards the alley where Jianghua parked his car.

"Why did you park the car in such a position? Are you hiding from someone?"

Professor Wu asked curiously.

"I'm hiding from debt collectors. I encountered a typhoon and my business was sluggish. I've been a bit tight lately, so I didn't pay back the money on time."

Jiang Hua opened his eyes and fooled around.

Just as he didn't know the origin of Professor Wu, he trusted him and didn't know his details.

"By the way, I forgot to ask, what's your business?"

Professor Wu opened the car door and sat in the car.

Then, he smiled sheepishly and said that he was covered in water and made Jiang Hua's car wet.

"I sell building materials. The market has been very good recently. But when the typhoon came, Qiong Iron and Steel's equipment broke down and stopped production. I also ran out of goods. You don't know, I just signed a big order recently. If I can't make it on time,

Delivery, liquidated damages will kill me."

Jiang Hua said with a sad face.

"This is a force majeure factor, and the other party should not be aggressive."

Professor Wu comforted Jiang Hua.

"It's hard to say that some businessmen these days have dark hearts."

"I'm not afraid of your laughter. Last time I went to the pier, I was wondering if I could just jump into the sea and be done with it."

Jiang Hua said with a wry smile.

Then, he asked Professor Wu where he lived and started the car.

"As soon as Qiong Iron and Steel ceases production, will the province's steel supply really be in crisis?"

Professor Wu seemed to be more interested in steel matters. He advised Jiang Hua that it would be better to die than live, and brought the topic to Qiong Steel.

"Let me tell you this, if someone can get steel now, even if it's 5,000 tons, I would be willing to buy it. There are probably not a few people in my situation."

Jiang Hua sighed, looking worried.

"Then if someone can get steel, wouldn't it be like getting rich overnight?"

Professor Wu murmured to himself.

"It's not just about getting rich overnight. Now the price of steel here is going to skyrocket every day, but no one can get the goods, and a good opportunity to make a fortune is missed."

Jiang Hua said in a chest-beating tone that he regretted not stocking up on some steel before.

After Professor Wu finished listening, he stopped talking and leaned on the back of his chair with his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating with his eyes closed.

Jiang Hua glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He still doesn't know who this Professor Wu, who is shrouded in mist, is, but whether it's a fish or a shrimp, he puts down the hook and gives it a try. Maybe he can get something unexpected.

.

Professor Wu lived in an old community, and the houses were all from the 1970s. Jiang Hua parked his car downstairs and had no intention of going up, but Professor Wu said a polite word, saying it was cold and invited him up for a cup of hot tea.

, warm your body.

Jiang Hua immediately agreed without any hesitation.

"Come in, the house is simple, don't make me laugh."

Professor Wu went upstairs and opened the door with the key.
