"I don't understand. Why are you pretending to be so deep?”

"I'm not pretending. I'm really deep. Look at my sincere eyes. Do you see the big word in them-truth?”

Liu Jun had already reached the city. He stopped the bike and turned to stare into Tan Li's eyes.

"I didn't see the truth, but I did see eye discharge. Wow, there's even blood. Did you spend the entire night thinking about the country's development plan?”

"I did, I definitely did. When did I have the right to think about national affairs?”

"Yesterday, I was lying in bed and was thirsty. I was thinking, should I get up to drink a glass of water or hold it in? I was thinking about it…Well, it was just dawn this morning, and I still hadn't figured out if I should drink water or not.”

"You're so poor! Should I spend the entire night thinking about drinking water? You can think about this again tonight.”

"From the origin of mankind to the life of the universe, think about it and see if you can find the answer to your problem.”

"This is the biggest problem of the century. It can't be explained by a simple theory. If anyone can solve this problem, the Nobel Prize will be at their fingertips!”

"Liu Jun, ah, Liu Jun, you really have a golden mouth. With you around, the four modernizations are just around the corner.”

Tan Li put her hands on her hips and giggled nonstop.

"Alright, stop laughing.”

Liu Jun looked at his watch." It's already lunchtime. Take me to have a meal. This is our last lunch."”

"Are you going back?" Hearing this, Tan Li's face instantly fell.

"I only applied for a week's leave from school. If I don't go back today, I'll be late.”

"I'll take you to Donglaishun for mutton hotpot.”

"Good!"

Liu Jun and Tan Li went to the Friendship Store after they finished the mutton hotpot in Donglaishun. They wanted to see what was selling well in the Friendship Store.

As for buying things, he definitely wouldn't go to the Friendship Store.

The Friendship Store required foreign exchange certificates to buy things (currently, they were still priced in US dollars, but they would start using foreign exchange certificates at the beginning of next year). Moreover, the Friendship Store was not open to ordinary citizens at all.

It only served foreigners, diplomatic personnel, and two mouths.

If he hadn't brought Tan Li along, he wouldn't have been able to enter so easily.

"This chocolate looks delicious.”

Tan Li stood by a counter and stared at the chocolate inside. She swallowed her saliva silently.

"Liu Jun, don't you think this chocolate looks like little An Hui who is crying?”

"I think we should bring them home and give them warmth so that they won't cry or be lonely.”

Liu Jun glanced at the price tag." F * ck!" It was 28 yuan per box.

This was not RMB, but US dollars.

"If I say that I don't have any US dollars or other foreign exchange, you won't be angry, right?”

Liu Jun asked tentatively.

"Are you that petty? Do you think I'm blind? When I was paying the bill, I saw the Franklin in your wallet.”

"It's only 56 yuan. I'll give you RMB, okay?”

"Take a break. It's easy to exchange US dollars for RMB. The exchange rate of RMB to US dollars is two to one.”

Speaking of the current exchange rate, it was a bit of a hooligan, forcing the exchange rate to be 2:1.

There was a huge shortage of foreign exchange in the country now. If you had an overseas relative send you foreign exchange, the higher-ups would force you to exchange it into RMB. You would never see foreign exchange.

Some people who wanted to go abroad wanted to exchange some foreign exchange, but it was difficult. Although they could go to the bank to exchange foreign exchange with the certificate of going abroad, the bank would only give you 100 or 50 dollars at most.

If he wanted to exchange more, he could only exchange it with the people who sold foreign exchange. If he exchanged it from them, it would not be 2:1, but 10:1. It might even be 12:1 or even higher, 15:1.

Liu Jun once read an article written by an economics professor, saying that during this period, the exchange rate of RMB to USD was 9.2 to 1.

"You really have the cheek to ask me to pay for it. Alright, don't be stingy. Hurry up and buy it.”

"Fine, you really don't treat yourself as an outsider.”

Liu Jun complained and took out a 100 dollar bill from his wallet. He handed it to the salesperson."Please get me a box of Hershey's chocolates.”

"Yes, sir."

The salesperson took out a box of chocolates from the counter and carefully checked whether the outer packaging was damaged. After confirming that there was no problem, she placed it on the counter and took the money from Liu Jun.

"Sir, I'll charge you 100 yuan. Here's your change, 72 yuan.”

"Thank you!"

"Take it. You're really a prodigal woman. This is the salary of an ordinary person for three months, and you're only buying a box of chocolates.”

"This is imported. I haven't eaten it yet.”

"Tsk…"

Liu Jun pursed his lips and felt a little sorry for his US dollars.

However, the service attitude of the salesperson here was really good. It made Liu Jun reminisce about the past.

" Good evening..." One after another, dragging out their voices.

"Boss, are there any familiar technicians?”
