Chapter 303: Selfishness
“Brother Pei, I think we should just forget about the bag of food and return it to Shen Yanming. He doesn’t look like he’s short of food!”
"That's right. And I guess he hasn't noticed the lack of food yet."
"I guess they didn't need it, so they didn't take it seriously, otherwise they would have questioned them just now."
"That's right, Brother Pei. We brothers did this business with you because we were short of food. We finally got some 'extra income', so don't push it away!"
"That's right, what's principle? Principle is bullshit! If we really want to stick to principles, we shouldn't do business while working that job. But how can we make a living without doing business?"
"That's right, Brother Pei, you can't sell out your brothers just because of principles or conscience. We are all in the same boat."
Ke Wenpei was a little moved by what he said, and he found an excuse for himself, saying, "It seems that Xiao Shen doesn't know that we were shortchanged last time, so let's not mention this matter in the future.
Otherwise, if people find out, they will definitely poke holes in our spines.
Because even if we didn't find it at the time, we should have remedied it in time afterwards. But we didn't say a word!
If that's the case, then we can only pretend that it never happened."
"Yeah! That's how it should be, Brother Pei, you're so nice!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Pei is our spiritual pillar!"
"Follow Brother Pei and enjoy delicious food!"
Ke Wenpei's originally somewhat uneasy conscience was settled after hearing his brothers' "sincere" praise.
And he was quite proud of it.
So he waved his hand and said, "Work hard later and come to my house for dinner tonight!"
Then another round of flattery came to my ears.
In this way, Ke Wenpei felt happy both in his ears and in his heart.
None of them mentioned the matter of the twenty or so kilograms of food again, as if it had never happened.
To put it bluntly, it's selfishness that's at work.
Otherwise, would Ke Wenpei dare to say that when he was transporting food to Shen Yanming that day, he did not see someone secretly hiding a bag of food in the corner of the stairs?
Do other people dare to say that they did not see their companion's little action at the time, or did not have any bad intentions?
They dare not, because they are just pretending not to know to cover up their own selfish motives.
Afterwards, find a reason and give a way out, and the matter will be left unresolved.
Ke Wenpei and his companions were happily selling dried fruits, completely ignoring Shen Yanming.
At this time, Shen Yanming had already parked the car and walked into Mr. Lin’s office.
"Hey, what wind brought you here today?" Old Master Lin said happily, "Where's your wife? Why didn't she come with you?"
"She is resting at home. I have something to do, so I came to see you." Shen Yanming said with a smile.
"What's the matter? Can I, an old man, help you?"
"It's nothing serious. I just want to buy some Chinese medicinal herbs."
Old Master Lin slapped his thigh and said, "I know about this. I'll go with you to buy some later. Finally, there is something I can help with! But, you're not sick, why do you need to buy Chinese medicinal herbs?"
Shen Yanming did not hide it, “I want to make some frostbite ointment.”
"You can also make medicine?" Mr. Lin looked at Shen Yanming in surprise.
Shen Yanming smiled awkwardly, "You don't even know if I can do it, but you dare to take me to buy Chinese medicine? Aren't you afraid that I will cause some trouble and you will be held responsible?"
"I don't know you yet. You are a cold-faced young man with a kind heart. You will not do anything bad." Old Master Lin said with a smile.
However, out of caution, he still asked, "Can you show me the recipe?"
Shen Yanming did not hesitate and gave the copied prescription to Mr. Lin.
After reading it, Mr. Lin exclaimed that it was wonderful, and then asked Shen Yanming, "Is this recipe a family heirloom? Can I buy it?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "You don't have to buy it, you can use it if you want, but you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows, "What conditions? Tell me!"
"It's actually very simple. You just have to cover for me!" Shen Yanming said with a smile, "We are scheduled to receive the relocated residents of Beiha City next week. I want to give it to them. As for the source, I will say it was given by you when the time comes."
"Are you afraid that someone will steal your recipe?"
"No, this recipe is not afraid of being stolen because it has long been handed over to the Qinghe Alliance. I asked you to cover for me because I don't want to cause trouble for myself.
Otherwise, if someone asks me how I can make ointments when I major in economics, how should I explain it?"
"Tell the truth!"
"Someone has to believe it! Instead of going through all the trouble to explain, it's better to just tell them that I bought it from an old Chinese doctor. This way they don't have to ask too many questions and they can use it with more confidence."
After hearing this, Mr. Lin thought it made sense, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I agree. However, I also have a condition."
"You say!"
"How many prescriptions do you have? Show them to me. I won't let you suffer any loss. Just pay for them!"
Shen Yanming was embarrassed now, and he touched his nose and said, "Grandpa, you said my ancestors were not doctors, how could there be so many prescriptions! There are only a few, and they were all handed over to the Qinghe Alliance."
As soon as these words fell, Mr. Lin's face was full of disappointment.
Shen Yanming couldn't bear it, so he thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll call Mr. Qiu and ask him. If he agrees, I'll give you a copy of the medical book you handed in so that you can study it."
Mr. Lin nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, ask quickly!"
"It won't happen that quickly. Even if I call and ask now, they'll have to hold a meeting to discuss it, and it won't be possible to get a result in a short while. Don't worry, I'll come to you as soon as I have any news."
"Then you must remember this, don't forget it! By the way, isn't your wife almost three months pregnant? Ask her to come for a pregnancy checkup as soon as possible. When she does, bring my medical books with you."
Chen Yanming couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He treated the medical book as his own even before getting any definite information. It seemed that he really loved the subject of Chinese medicine.
"That's enough. You must be getting anxious after chatting with the old man for so long! Let's go get some medicine!"
As Mr. Lin said this, he left the Chinese medicine clinic and went to the Chinese medicine pharmacy with the prescription he had copied.
Not long after, two packages of Chinese medicine were handed to Shen Yanming. Mr. Lin grabbed one of the packages and said, "Leave one for me. I'll try making some when I get home."
Shen Yanming nodded, and after sending Mr. Lin back, he prepared to leave.
Of course, before he left, he asked the nurses in the hospital about Zhang Heping. Hearing that the guy was doing very well recently, he did not bother him.
I staggered all the way home, and by the time I got home, it was already dark.
Bi Qiaoan was lying on the sofa and stood up when he heard the sound of the door opening.
It wasn’t until Shen Yanming came into the house and took off his down jacket that she asked, “Why did you take so long?”
Shen Yanming briefly described his whereabouts in the afternoon.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then went to the kitchen to heat up the food he had cooked in the afternoon.
As they had things to do the next day, they ate their meal, took a short walk, and went to bed early.
Of course, I slept outside the space.
Because Shen Yanming was still waiting to answer Zeng Yiming's call to report that he was safe!
