"If you don't want to go, can I force you to go? Hurry up and come with me. I have something else to talk to you about today. Don't dawdle, I still have class."

Shen Heng came over and grabbed Shan Guanwen, who almost lifted his feet off the ground, unconsciously pulling his legs along with Shen Heng.

Shan Guanwen shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing! You just said you wouldn't force me!"

"This isn't coercion. Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

Chen Heng is incredibly strong; Shan Guanwen simply couldn't refuse him.

Upon seeing this, several students in the lab shouted at Shen Heng, "Hey, where are you taking Senior Brother Shan? Release him right now!"

"None of your business, get lost!" Shen Heng's fist flashed, and those people immediately became obedient.

"Are you a bandit? Are you a fascist? Let me go! Let me go!"

Shan Guanwen twisted his body a couple of times, but couldn't break free at all.

Shen Heng dragged Shan Guanwen to the front of an eyeglasses store.

The two stood at the door. Shan Guanwen looked at the sign of the glasses shop and then pushed up his glasses.

"Why did you bring me here?" Shan Guanwen said, about to leave. He couldn't afford new glasses, nor did he want to accept such a favor from Shen Heng.

"Come in!" Shen Heng grabbed Shan Guanwen by the back of his collar and dragged him inside.

The glasses shop was newly opened by a private owner. It didn't have many items, but as soon as the owner saw someone come in, he immediately greeted them with a smile. He didn't flinch at the two people's comical actions and ignored Shan Guanwen's embarrassment. He directly asked Shen Heng, "Sir, who wants to buy glasses?"

Shen Heng said, "You're talking nonsense. Get this four-eyed guy a new pair of glasses!"

"I don't want it! Shen Heng, I know you have some dirty money, but I, Shan Guanwen, don't need your charity! I won't work for you even after graduation!"

Shan Guanwen used his crutch to free himself from Shen Heng's restraints, loosened his muscles, and took a half-step back to distance himself from Shen Heng.

When the optician heard that Shen Heng had "two stinking coins," his smile widened even more.

"Young man, your glasses are unusable. They're so blurry, wearing them will only make it harder to see clearly. If you keep delaying, it will be too late to get new glasses later. I think you should listen to your friend and get new glasses as soon as possible for your own good, otherwise you'll regret it later."

People who run businesses naturally have a silver tongue.

"Did you hear that? If you keep wearing those lousy glasses, you'll go blind sooner or later. You still have a year to graduate, right? You might go blind before you even graduate."

Shen Heng put his hands on his hips and looked at Shan Guanwen.

The optician said, "That's not what I meant..."

"Hurry up and see what kind would suit him, and get him one."

Shen Heng interrupted the optician, saying that there was no reason for the optician to refuse business that was offered to him.

Seeing that he was about to be forced into a difficult situation by these two, Shan Guanwen was first stunned, then turned to leave, but was stopped by Shen Heng.

"Shan Guanwen, don't be ungrateful. I bought you a new pair of glasses not to bribe you. Whether you work for me or not, I'll give you these glasses."

Shen Heng hooked his arm around Shan Guanwen's neck, just like two good brothers.

"I won't accept anything without merit! Even if I were blind, I wouldn't want your things."

Shan Guanwen tried to remove Shen Heng's arm from him, but he couldn't budge it. The weight made it hard for him to breathe, and he felt as if a thousand pounds were pressing down on his feet.

"Young man, why don't you try this? Come on!"

The boss over there is already waving.

Shen Heng pulled Shan Guanwen over by the arm: "Don't act like a woman, dawdling around like that."

Dan Guanwen was in a dilemma after hearing what Shen Heng said, but seeing the boss who was holding up the glasses, he still reached out and took the glasses.

"I'm just giving it a try!"

Shan Guanwen took off his old glasses and put on the ones his boss was holding. The world suddenly became clear and the colors were vibrant. He turned his head and noticed for the first time a small mole on Shen Heng's eyebrow.

This clear vision is something Shan Guanwen hasn't seen in a long time. His eyesight is poor, it's hereditary, but because he went to school for a few more years when he was young, his family said he went blind from studying too much.

Shan Guanwen is already very content with the glasses he has now, so why would he complain about whether they are clear or not? He has gradually forgotten that he once saw such a clear world.

Shan Guanwen couldn't help but look at Shen Heng, then at the boss, and then around the entire eyeglasses shop.

He was a little reluctant, but still reached out to take off his glasses. Shen Heng pressed his hand down: "Is this suitable? If not, let the boss get you another pair."

The shop owner chimed in, "Yes, yes, our shop has a very complete selection. Look, customer," the shop owner pushed a mirror over, "take a look at this frame and see if you like it. If you don't, you can exchange it."

When Shan Guanwen saw himself in the mirror, he could clearly see his pores. He swallowed hard. To be honest, he really wanted to just take the glasses with him.

However, he was embarrassed.

He genuinely didn't want to go to Shenheng's "small workshop." Besides, a couple of years ago, people like them were called speculators, and before that, they were considered evil capitalists. He didn't want to work for such people. He was able to attend university thanks to the country's help, and after graduation, he would definitely serve his country. He wasn't so short-sighted.

No reward without merit; Shan Guanwen wanted to take off his glasses, but Shen Heng said:

“If it’s suitable, you can wear it like this. To be honest, these glasses aren’t worth much to me. Consider it a small token of appreciation from me to the country for the future talents. I don’t like making excuses. Just accept the glasses and I won’t bother you again.”

Even though Shan Guanwen could see clearly now, he still habitually pushed up his glasses before speaking, saying, "How about this, consider these glasses a loan from you. I'll pay you back with the first money I earn after graduation."

Shen Heng waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, that's enough. Let's go."

Shan Guanwen hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and picked up his old glasses. They had been with him for ten years, and he couldn't throw them away.

After Shan Guanwen left, Shen Heng took out a wallet from his pocket.

"How much are those glasses, boss?"

"One hundred." When it was time to collect the money, the boss smiled even more broadly.

"One hundred? Why don't you just rob me?" Shen Heng snapped his wallet shut, afraid the shopkeeper would actually reach out and snatch it.

"Those glasses you were wearing were made from the finest crystal..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop... Eighty, that's all. If that doesn't work, see if I can sell myself for a hundred dollars."
