"Comrade, isn't five thousand foreign currency a bit too much?" The train conductor looked at Ye Weiwei awkwardly.
Ye Weiwei's expression was serious, and she said in a very certain tone, "It's not much at all. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that you know Fang Ming, I would have asked for even more."
The train conductor was taken aback, not expecting that the 5,000 foreign currency was already a discount because of him. He was speechless and gestured for the translator to translate what he had just said to the foreign guests.
Creek had an angry look on his face that said, "You guys are just trying to take advantage of us," while John was much calmer.
Just for the fact that Ye Weiwei saved his life, he would give her ten times more if he asked.
After all, how can a mere five thousand foreign dollars compare to his life?
What's more, Ye Weiwei had shown him China's amazing treatment methods today, and the pill she gave him also piqued his interest.
He took the suitcase next to him, took out five thousand foreign dollars and gave it to Ye Weiwei, then smiled and said, "Thank you, beautiful lady, this is your consultation fee."
“John!” Creek tried to stop his friend, but John shook his head at him, signaling him not to speak.
Creek glared angrily at Ye Weiwei and the others.
Ye Weiwei ignored Creek, naturally accepted the money, nodded politely to John, packed her things, and prepared to leave.
The train conductor was surprised that John actually gave Ye Weiwei five thousand foreign dollars for her consultation. Ye Weiwei's calm and composed demeanor made it seem as if she was holding something completely ordinary, not five thousand foreign dollars.
Five thousand dollars! A thick wad of cash! How much would that be in Chinese currency?
The train conductor now looked at Ye Weiwei with newfound respect and admiration.
How can someone so young have such excellent medical skills and such a stable mindset!
He was incredibly excited! What he thought would be a disaster had turned into a blessing in disguise—someone on his train had actually made foreign exchange!
"Beautiful lady, could you sell me your allergy medication?"
John pointed to Ye Weiwei's small wooden box.
He saw that there were several pills inside, and the thought of the pleasant feeling after taking them made him very tempted.
Ye Weiwei lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes concealing the sharp glint in them.
When she looked up again, her fingers were groping for the small wooden box, her expression showing a hint of struggle.
John saw this as a sign of great reluctance.
He immediately said, "Beautiful lady, as long as you're willing to part with it, the price will definitely satisfy you."
Ye Weiwei shook her head: "Mr. John, you probably want to buy my pills because you're afraid of having a food allergy like today again, right? Actually, the main function of these pills is not to treat allergies."
"What? It's not for treating allergies? Then how dare you give it to John and charge such an expensive consultation fee? You liar!" Creek roared again upon hearing Ye Weiwei's words.
Ye Weiwei glanced at Creek with displeasure, her expression impatient. "I was talking about its main function, not its treatment for allergies. If you don't understand, then please shut up! Interrupting other people's conversations is rude and barbaric behavior that doesn't suit your self-proclaimed noble status!"
Crick was so angry at Ye Weiwei's impolite rebuke that he pointed at her but couldn't speak. Ye Weiwei slapped his finger away and said coldly, "If you continue to be so rude and offensive to me, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."
Crick seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "You dare threaten me? Do you know that I'm a foreign guest here in China on business! If you anger me, the consequences will be more than you can bear!"
Upon hearing the translator's words, the train conductor also became nervous and whispered to Ye Weiwei, "Miss, hold back! Don't get into a conflict with the foreign guests; it won't do you any good!"
Ye Weiwei glanced at the train conductor and said bluntly, "This is our China. Am I supposed to put up with being bullied by a foreigner while I'm standing on my own country's soil? They're bullying us in our own backyard, and you expect me to tolerate it? Sorry, I don't have that kind of tolerance!"
So what if he's a foreign guest? Since he's planning to do business in our country, he should be even more mindful of his attitude. After all, doing business is a win-win situation!
They want to make money off our country, and they're so arrogant. Where do they get the nerve?
Moreover, someone who doesn't even understand basic respect is not a good partner, and cooperating with such a person goes against our country's foreign policy of equality and mutual benefit.
Our country, China, is vast and rich in resources. Countless foreigners around the world want to do business with us; why would we worry about finding business partners? It's better not to do business with people like that!
Huo Xiao wholeheartedly agreed with his wife's words, and said firmly, "When friends come, we have good wine; when wolves come, we have hunting rifles! I was once a soldier. Our soldiers shed blood and sacrificed their lives on the battlefield so that our people would not be oppressed and humiliated by foreigners, instead of letting them swagger around in our country."
John, who was standing to the side, asked the translator what Ye Weiwei and the others were talking about. The translator translated everyone's words to them word for word. John's expression was very serious. Even Creek realized that he had been too arrogant just now. When he saw the train conductor, who had been accommodating and flattering him, looking at him with cold eyes, he immediately became much more obedient.
John looked at everyone apologetically, "I'm sorry, my friend and I were wrong about what happened today, and I sincerely apologize for it."
After saying that, he looked at Creek and gestured for Creek to apologize.
Under pressure, Creek reluctantly bowed his head and apologized.
Ye Weiwei said, "We Chinese have a saying: 'Harmony brings wealth.' Mr. John, I believe you came here with the sincerity of cooperation, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled so far to come here. But when you're out in the world, it's best to restrain your words and actions and respect each other. What do you think?"
John nodded and smiled, "You're right! So, beautiful lady, can you talk to me about the business of these pills now?"
Ye Weiwei gave a helpless look, as if she was in pain. "Mr. John, as I said before, this pill is not mainly for treating food allergies. If you buy this pill to prevent food allergies, it's really a waste of its potential."
I'm sure you just took a pill and noticed its unusual effects. This pill's benefits go beyond just treating your food allergy symptoms; its main function is to nourish the body, repair hidden injuries, and boost the body's immunity.
John's eyes widened. "This pill is so magical?"
He carefully recalled the feeling after taking the pill, thinking about how he felt like he almost died, but after taking the pill, his body recovered in no time, and even the fatigue from traveling these past few days was gone.
