The beggar patted his chest and said to his men.
The subordinates responded enthusiastically.
Then, the beggar led his companions into the wooden bed made of planks in the center of the open space.
The beggars lay on the wooden beds, feeling the cool air emanating from them, their hearts filled with warmth and gratitude.
"I've really met some good people this time!"
"Yes, if we hadn't met such kind people, we wouldn't be sleeping on wooden beds!"
"I've made up my mind, I'm going to follow Boss Gu for the rest of my life!"
"Me too! This time I'm definitely sticking with Boss Gu and I'll never leave!"
"Mr. Gu is such a good person, I really don't think he would do anything immoral!"
......
A sigh arose as the beggars lay on their wooden beds, their minds filled with unrealistic thoughts.
Gu Sang had only walked a few steps when he ran into a waiter. He nodded to the waiter and said, "Brother, go and ask the beggars how their meals are. If possible, tell the cook to add a piece of lean meat to their lunch today!"
After saying that, Gu Sang picked up a silver ingot and handed it to the shopkeeper.
"Yes, Mr. Gu."
The shop assistant took the silver, nodded, and then turned and left.
Watching the man's departing figure, Gu Sang shook his head and smiled. He knew that he was helping them, giving them the courage to live.
"well......"
Gu Sang sighed, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
Shortly after he turned and left, the man returned with several sheets of white paper in his hand. He folded the paper and put it in his pocket.
He placed the blank sheet of paper beside the beggar's bed.
Then he said to the beggars, "This is what Boss Gu just gave you. Take a good look at it; it will be good for you in the future."
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Gu!"
"We will always remember Mr. Gu's kindness!"
......
The beggars expressed their gratitude one by one, looking at the white paper on the table with hearts full of emotion and awe.
They believed that as long as Boss Gu was willing to give them a hot meal, a wooden bed, a wooden stool, a clean set of clothes, and a bowl of rice, they would be able to get through this most difficult period in peace. In fact, they would repay Boss Gu in the future, after all, Boss Gu was the best person they had ever met.
Seeing their touched expressions, the waiter smiled and said, "Alright, I have to go back to work now. Here, take this and eat it if you're hungry."
After saying that, the waiter turned and left.
......
Gu Sang returned to the backyard.
She saw a man sitting by the flower bed outside the courtyard. He was dressed in a white robe, wearing a hat and scarf. His face was covered by the scarf, so she couldn't see what he looked like. Only a pair of dark, deep eyes were visible. He exuded a calm and indifferent aura, as if he didn't belong to the human world at all.
Although his temperament was not as vulgar as that of an ordinary person, it still exuded a sense of nobility and elegance.
"Is he the beggar?"
Gu Sang guessed to herself.
"Hello, Ms. Gu."
At this moment, the man stood up and spoke.
His tone was very calm, as if he were stating a fact, without the slightest ripple.
"Hello, I'm Gu Sang." Gu Sang smiled and then reached out to shake his hand. "We've gotten to know each other now. If you don't mind, we can be friends, or even business partners! I wonder if you'd be interested in discussing a deal with me?"
Upon hearing this, the man was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face as he said, "Mr. Gu, I wonder if I am qualified to do business with you?"
Gu Sang smiled and said, "Of course, no problem. We can sit down and talk slowly!"
The man nodded slightly, then took a few steps and found a chair to sit down.
Gu Sang noticed that his ankle was slightly sprained, but he didn't show it.
Gu Sang walked to the man's side and said, "Please sit down!"
After the man sat down, he looked Gu Sang up and down and said, "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, would be able to run such a large restaurant. That's truly remarkable."
"Hehe, you flatter me. Doing business is all about luck. If I'm lucky, I might make a lot of money!" Gu Sang said modestly.
"Hehe, I'm rather envious of you then. I wonder if I'm qualified to be your collaborator? Perhaps I can offer you some good advice!" the man said. "I think we both need helpers, don't we?"
"Haha, that's what I think too."
Upon hearing this, Gu Sang laughed heartily, "However, we are not familiar with each other's background and do not know how to choose. How about this, let's have some tea first, and after you tell me all the information I want, I will consider cooperating with you. I wonder if you are interested?"
"I'd be happy to oblige, and I hope we can achieve a pleasant collaboration!"
The man smiled, and then the two sat down. Gu Sang personally poured tea and handed a cup to the man. The two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Excellent tea!"
The man exclaimed in admiration.
"Hehe, it's so-so. I also like drinking tea, so I enjoy tasting all kinds of tea. However, I don't like using a teapot to brew tea because the tea leaves in my hands always taste much worse when brewed." Gu Sang smiled and said.
"Really? Hehe, that's true. Tea leaves in hand are indeed not as good as a teacup for brewing tea. I wonder how Mr. Gu brews tea so sweetly?" the man asked in confusion, looking at the tea in his hand with a longing in his eyes.
"Well, that's a long story. To be honest, I used tea seed oil to brew the tea. This tea seed oil is the essence of a hundred refinements, which is why it can brew such wonderful tea!" Gu Sang said.
"I see. I knew it! If you use ordinary tea water, it's impossible to brew such delicious tea. Mr. Gu is truly amazing to be able to brew such good tea!" the man praised sincerely.
"Not at all, you flatter me!"
Hearing the man's praise, Gu Sang spoke modestly.
Her face still held that leisurely smile, but in her heart, she had become curious about the man. What kind of person could have such superb skills?
Gu Sang looked at the man and asked, "Can we still drink this tea?"
"Of course you can. You brewed this tea yourself. Drink it if you like, or throw it away if you don't. I won't force you," the man said.
Hearing this, Gu Sang smiled and said, "Since you've put it that way, then I'll be shameless and have a few more drinks. Anyway, it doesn't matter, just treat it as a dream."
"Dream?"
Upon hearing this, the man smiled but remained silent.
