Shen Heng and Wang Fushun were preparing to go to Zhuzhou. While waiting for the train at the station, they saw Shan Guanwen there, running around like a headless fly.
"Hey, Shan Guanwen! What are you doing here?"
Hearing Shen Heng call him, Shan Guanwen was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing here?"
“I went out with a friend on business, not to find you. What are you busy with here?” Shen Heng glanced at Shan Guanwen and saw that he was covered in sweat, his legs were unsteady, and his already malnourished face looked even worse.
"Chen Heng, can you lend me two yuan? I need to buy a train ticket, and I'm two yuan short!"
Shan Guanwen asked several people at the station, showing them his student ID and offering to write them an IOU for two yuan, but no one paid him any attention.
When he saw Shen Heng, he was surprised but then realized that Shen Heng knew him well and should be willing to lend him money.
"Lending money is no problem, are you going home? What are you going back for?"
Now that summer vacation has just ended and school has started, Shan Guanwen must be going back home at this time because there must be an emergency at home.
When Shan Guanwen wanted to borrow money from Shen Heng, he naturally had to explain his reason: "My mother was run over by a tractor in our village while she was working," he said, and as he spoke, perhaps seeing someone he knew, his nose suddenly stung with tears: "They said the situation is bad right now, maybe, maybe..."
Shan Guanwen's home is quite far from Yancheng, and train tickets are expensive. He is also a quiet person and doesn't have many friends at school. He only had ten yuan, and he couldn't scrape together enough money even after trying for a long time at school.
Shen Heng took out his wallet and gave all the cash he had to Shan Guanwen.
"No need, no need for these!"
Shan Guanwen hurriedly waved his hand, while Shen Heng still had several large bills in his hand, which looked to be around sixty or seventy yuan.
"Take this. It's easy to get back by car. There are many things you might need money for at the hospital. Keep this money for now, in case there's any hope. Don't waste time worrying about money."
As he spoke, Shen Heng took out a pen and paper from his pocket and wrote down their home phone number for Shan Guanwen: "If you need money, call my house, but you have to call after 7 p.m., as no one is home during the day."
Upon hearing this, Shan Guanwen's eyes and nose reddened, and he was about to kneel down before Shen Heng.
Shen Heng pulled him back and said, "Alright, you're already such a wimp, don't do anything unnecessary. Go buy your train ticket now, keep this money close to your body, and be careful on the train, don't let anyone steal it from you."
Seeing that Shan Guanwen was good at nothing but his profession, Shen Heng gave him a few more words of advice.
"Thank you, Shen Heng. I will pay you back every penny. I'll give you an IOU as soon as I get back!"
Dan Guanwen thanked them profusely and ran to queue up. Train tickets are in short supply now, and he didn't want to have to scrape together enough money for a ticket only to find that he couldn't buy one.
"Brother Heng, who is this guy? Why are you helping him so much?"
After Shan Guanwen left, Wang Fushun asked.
"This guy? He'll be a key member of my future technical department." Shan Guanwen still has a year until graduation, and Shen Heng is confident that he will prevail.
"What kind of key member of the technical department? Look at him, do you think he can get anything done?"
It's no wonder Wang Fushun was judging people by their appearance; it's just that Wenming, who is clearly over 1.7 meters tall, was hunched over and holding his glasses, just like Shen Heng said, looking like a coward, not even as good as an ordinary bookworm.
"You don't know anything. Jiaojiao said that's how geniuses are. As long as they're smart, that's all that matters. Why do you care about their appearance?"
"Yes, yes, yes, sister-in-law is right."
