Twenty minutes later, the tricycle stopped at the gate of Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.
"Sir, how much does it cost?"
While helping Feng Guangrong out of the car, Wang Qian didn't forget to ask the tricycle driver a question.
"Five cents, thank you!"
"So expensive?"
Wang Qian was taking money out of his bag when Feng Guangrong exclaimed, "Master, how about you make it cheaper? Three cents should be about right."
"Sorry, this is the normal taxi fare, please understand!" the driver said with a smile.
"But……"
Before Feng Guangrong could say anything more, Wang Qian interrupted him, "Dr. Feng, this is indeed a normal price. This driver didn't rip us off."
"Well... okay!"
Feng Guangrong was somewhat embarrassed. He took two steps back, lowered his head, and clutched the tattered hem of his clothes with both hands, not daring to meet Wang Qian's gaze.
Wang Qian didn't delay. He took out fifty cents and gave it to the tricycle driver before helping Feng Guangrong back inside. "Let's go in."
"good!"
Feng Guangrong did not refuse, but as he went inside, he asked again, "By the way, how much more money do I need to pay you?"
Taking a bus might be cheaper.
If you were to hire someone to take them back, it would definitely be more expensive than taking a bus.
"Don't worry about the travel expenses!"
Wang Qian smiled and said, "Just go home and rest assured. As for how much money you need to make up for, we can talk about it later!"
The reason he accepted Feng Guangrong's money was not because he really wanted to haggle over it; it was simply because if he hadn't accepted it, Feng Guangrong might have continued to cause trouble or even gotten out of the car and left.
To reassure the other party that they would return to the village with him, he had no choice but to accept the money for the time being.
He, as a reborn person, knew better than anyone else what Feng Guangrong had gone through.
He spent most of his life practicing medicine, yet remained impoverished.
Everyone knows that traditional Chinese medicine is far less profitable than Western medicine.
In addition, Feng Guangrong was a kind and honest person. When he encountered people who couldn't afford the medicine, he would either let them pay on credit, reduce or waive the cost, or simply not charge them at all.
In the past few decades, people in rural areas had very little money.
As a result, after practicing medicine for decades, Feng Guangrong didn't have much savings.
Even if he had accumulated some wealth, the person who framed him sued him in court, and in the end, not only was his reputation completely ruined, but he also went bankrupt to compensate the other party for their losses.
To this day, Feng Guangrong doesn't even have the money for a single bus ride.
"Wang Qian, why don't you say it now?"
Feng Guangrong said with a bitter face, "As you know, I'm very poor right now. If I were to give you too much money, I wouldn't be able to come up with it."
Wang Qian was immediately somewhat depressed.
Feng Guangrong pressed him about the money, and I could probably guess his motives.
I'm afraid of being scammed!
Ultimately, he and Feng Guangrong were not related, so his sudden act of kindness seemed unreasonable to anyone.
Therefore, Feng Guangrong would definitely be wary, thinking that he might be using good intentions as a pretext to defraud the elderly.
Knowing that Feng Guangrong was thinking this, he did not expose him. Instead, he held up five fingers and said, "If I can safely bring you back to the village, you can give me another 50 cents. If I can't get you back to the village, I will return the 1.5 yuan to you."
"Only five cents?"
Feng Guangrong was somewhat taken aback.
Wouldn't it be more expensive to hire someone to take them back to the village separately?
Although he had just given all the money he had to Wang Qian, it was only one dollar and fifty cents.
Even a bus ride costs 2.5 yuan, but Wang Qian took him on a huge trip and only asked him for a total of 2 yuan. That's not reasonable!
In a flash, a look of shame appeared on his face. "Wang Qian, you meant well. I was just wondering about your motives. I'm so sorry."
"Dr. Feng, it's alright, don't worry about it!"
Wang Qian smiled and offered a word of comfort.
The saying goes, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy."
Two years ago, Feng Guangrong was framed and his reputation and family fortune were ruined. He must have been traumatized by this.
Furthermore, given that they are not related to you, it's understandable that they might doubt your good intentions.
"Don't worry, I'll pay you back as soon as I've saved up the money!"
Having dispelled his suspicions about Wang Qian, Feng Guangrong made a solemn promise.
At the same time, he was also quite embarrassed.
Wang Qian was trying to help him out of kindness, yet he still suspected the other party of having impure motives. This is judging a gentleman by the standards of a petty person.
"We'll talk about this later. Please come with me first!"
As he spoke, Wang Qian helped Feng Guangrong walk toward a building ahead.
Before long, they arrived at the door of Li Guangsheng's office.
"Mr. Wang, what brings you here?"
A woman's gentle voice came from not far away.
Looking up, he saw a woman in a women's suit, holding a folder in her arms, smiling at him.
Zhang Manting!
Li Guangsheng's secretary!
Is Brother Li there?
Wang Qian glanced at the office door. "I need to talk to him about something."
"Here I am!"
Zhang Manting nodded and added, "Boss Gao and Zuo Hengyu are also here; they're having a meeting inside."
"Oh? Are they here too?"
Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "Can I go in now?"
"this……"
Zhang Manting was still somewhat hesitant.
After all, the boss was in a meeting, and she was standing outside to prevent others from barging in and disrupting the meeting.
However, Wang Qian is not an outsider. Besides being one of the company's shareholders, he also has a good relationship with Li Guangsheng.
Even if a meeting is in progress, Li Guangsheng probably wouldn't say anything if Wang Qian barged in.
only,
She's just a secretary, after all; it would be best to inform her first.
