Initially, He Wenjie thought about helping him mediate, but upon hearing it was only forty thousand yuan, he lost interest. First, this minor sum wasn't worth He Wenjie making a special trip; second, the business itself was illegal. Given Huzi's background, if he didn't quit, trouble would bound to happen sooner or later, and sooner was better than later. Still, since Huzi was a buddy, he had to help where he could. After pondering for a moment, He Wenjie said, "Huzi, though your business makes money fast, it's illegal at its core. It's a stroke of luck that you weren't implicated this time. I remember a bakery next to Xiaoyun's shop is up for transfer; why don't you try opening a small shop of your own? Don't worry about the money, we brothers can chip in for your startup capital first. If you lose, it's on all of us; if you make a profit, you can pay us back slowly."
Knowing that He Wenjie saying "everyone will chip in" actually meant he would pay for it himself, the others didn't say much. After thinking for a moment, Huzi replied, "Alright, then I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it. The four of us shared a room for four years and all stayed in Beijing, so naturally we should help each other out. After we finish eating, the two of us will go over there and talk about it."
