After agreeing, Xiao Xian remembered something else; earlier today, while passing through Yanqing: she saw a telephone pole in the town crushed under heavy snow, and all the cables had collapsed. While the electricians were repairing it, Xiao Xian noticed something fishy—the wires were made of copper. This discovery sparked an idea: "Xuerou, your mom has been doing business in Beijing for so long, she must know some people in the power plants, right? Does she know those who specifically recycle old electrical cables?" Xiao Xian was out of money and needed to buy usable copper at the most reasonable price, and the cables could be useful for other purposes too.
"Probably," what Xiao Xian liked the most about Zeng Xuerou, in contrast to Zhang Yiyi, was that Zeng Xuerou wouldn't ask too many questions. If it were Zhang Yiyi today, after the first question, the second would definitely be: "What do you need the cables for?"
