However, from Lü Xian's perspective, this was not a problem with the stone carp at all, but rather with Wang Yao's audacity, which jeopardized the entire office. There were many things he couldn't say too clearly in meetings, but now in the Heavenly Court, offending foreigners was tantamount to courting death.
Therefore, Wang Yao's unhealthy tendencies must be eradicated. After careful consideration, he decided to punish Wang Yao with 500 merits. He would rather destroy an insignificant little immortal than disrupt the overall situation of the Heavenly Court maintaining friendly relations with the foreign world. This is putting the big picture first!
Only after everyone had left the meeting room did Wang Yao reluctantly stand up and return to his room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Hui Shuo dressed in monk's robes, talking animatedly with Hua Tuo. Upon seeing Wang Yao return, Hui Shuo jumped up and down happily.
"Father and Mother, you're finally back! Hurry up, I'll treat you and Dr. Hua to a nice lunch," Hui Shuo said with a smile.
Wang Yao blinked and looked at Hua Tuo, who shrugged.
"How is your injury?" Seeing that Hua Tuo was unwilling to talk about it, Wang Yao looked at Hui Shuo and asked.
"It's almost completely healed, and I don't feel any pain at all today."
Hui Shuo shook his head repeatedly, then pulled Hua Gu and Wang Yao to eat. Wang Yao had no appetite and wanted to decline, but he was also curious about Hui Shuo's motives. Wasn't this fake monk taking advantage of him? Why was he being so generous as to invite him to dinner?
He didn't refuse at the moment. As the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it." Since he had 500 merit points deducted, he still had to earn his monthly salary of 400 yuan. The future was bleak. Let's see what this swindler is planning. Anyway, he had no money, but he could take his life.
Wang Yao was filled with tragic thoughts, while Hua Tuo was all smiles. Seeing that the two had agreed, Hui Shuo hurriedly grabbed a notebook that looked like it was newly bought, with a pen stuck in it, and led the two out of the room to the dining room.
Looking at the notebook in Hui Shuo's arms, Wang Yao became even more suspicious. He remembered that when he went to the meeting, he did not give Hui Shuo any money. He only asked him to go to the buffet with Hua Gu.
This fake monk followed me all the way, and I never saw him spend a single penny. Whether it was taking the bus in Xiangyun or starving to death in Caidu, almost ending up on the streets, I never saw him make the slightest intention to spend money.
He paid for his own bus fare, the barbecue he ate, and the hotel he stayed in. This guy was clearly an extremely stingy pauper, so how could he possibly have money to buy pens and notebooks? It's truly baffling.
The three entered the hotel restaurant, and Wang Yao noticed that many of the people coming and going greeted Hui Shuo warmly.
"Greetings, Master. Have you come for lunch?"
"Master Huishuo, how about... we go together?"
"Which private room is the master in? I'll go toast him later..."
...
Hui Shuo maintained a polite and respectful demeanor with a smile on his face. The three of them were led into a private room by a restaurant waiter.
Now, Wang Yao was even more confused. When he carried Hui Shuo in yesterday, the kid was still in a coma with a high fever, and then... he ate a buffet breakfast this morning, how did he become a heartthrob?
"Hua Gu, what... what happened?" Hua Gu and Hui Shuo had gone to a buffet together that morning, so only Hua Gu knew what had happened. Wang Yao asked hurriedly.
"You're a promising kid. This morning at the buffet, you were trying to sell your Buddha amulet to everyone you met. At first, nobody paid any attention to you, but you didn't give up. Then you ran into a group of classmates having a reunion at the hotel, and all the guys were trying to show off in front of the girls..."
"You're quite an interesting kid. You went up to promote your product and got along really well with those guys. Then some big spenders started patronizing your business, and some were even willing to donate monuments and Buddha statues. You're pretty smart too; you immediately bought a notebook and a pen from the supermarket next door..."
"They carefully wrote down everyone's names, donations, and contact information, and even told everyone the exact location of Lingguang Temple, saying that once the temple was built, they would carve a monument for everyone to worship..."
"Now, everyone else got interested too. They all gathered around you. When I went to the meeting, you were still there writing down names. I bet you made quite a bit that morning..."
Hua Tuo kept saying "You child" over and over, making Wang Yao frown and feel extremely awkward. However, he couldn't argue with Hua Tuo here, since Hui Shuo had absolutely no relation to him.
All Wang Yao could hear was Hui Shuo calling his parents "father" and "mother" so affectionately that he couldn't explain it to Wang Yao for a moment.
"How much money did you make this morning?" Wang Yao could only look at Hui Shuo in astonishment and ask.
"Over sixty thousand!" Hui Shuo winked mysteriously at Wang Yao. "Mainly because one benefactor made a grand vow and donated fifty thousand at once. Other benefactors donated one or two thousand, but most only donated one or two hundred. I remember them all clearly..."
As he spoke, Hui Shuo patted the notebook in his arms.
“No matter how much or how little they donate, I promised to erect a monument for them and let them enjoy incense offerings in order of how much they donate. I never expected that Huadu is indeed a blessed land in the human world, with far more benefactors who are devoted to Buddha than Xiangyun…” Hui Shuo said with great joy.
Sixty thousand in just one morning? Wang Yao was dumbfounded. Making money this easily? And he even has more benefactors than Xiangyun? That's because nobody in Huadu knows your background. Doesn't he know Huishuo? He's just a fake monk, all he knows is to cry when things go wrong, yet…
With that level of intelligence and skill, he actually earned over 60,000 yuan in just one morning. If he did that for a month, wouldn't he earn over 1 million yuan? You know what, there's actually hope that his Lingguang Temple will actually be built.
