"I want a 50% advance payment," Zheng Dandan hesitated for a moment, then pondered. Her current wealth was less than a thousand, and she couldn't possibly buy that much goods on her own.
"Okay." Cheng Huadong agreed generously, "I'll have Xu Ming transfer the money to you later."
"Aren't you afraid that I will abscond with the money?" Zheng Dandan joked with a smile. Fifty percent of the payment for the goods is a lot.
"You are not a short-sighted person." Cheng Huadong's eyes were firm and his gaze was burning.
"Thank you for the compliment. I won't let you down. You can pick it up the day after tomorrow." Zheng Dandan promised with a smile. She looked at Cheng Huadong, "Do you have a pen?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huadong took out the pen from his chest pocket and handed it to Zheng Dandan.
When Zheng Dandan took it, the pen still had some warmth on it. She paused for a moment, then quickly wrote a line on the white paper on the table.
"The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. If you have any problems, you can send someone here to find me." Zheng Dandan handed the address to Cheng Huadong.
"How's your driving skills going?" After the business deal was settled, Cheng Huadong and Zheng Dandan started talking about other topics.
"I haven't gone yet." Zheng Dandan smiled confidently, "But I'm very talented, I believe I'll be able to get my driver's license soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Cheng Huadong also smiled.
"It's getting late, I'm leaving first." After finishing everything that needed to be discussed, Zheng Dandan said goodbye.
"Leaving so soon? Why don't you sit for a while?" Cheng Huadong raised his eyebrows.
"Time is money. I dare not delay you from making money, Mr. Cheng." Zheng Dandan shook her head and declined.
"I'm happy to chat with you," Cheng Huadong said. Seeing Zheng Dandan's smile fade, he added calmly, "After all, I not only consider you a partner, but also a friend I can chat with."
"Forget it, I don't want to be misunderstood."
"Are you talking about Song Shiyun? I don't have any affair with her!" Cheng Huadong looked at Zheng Dandan and explained seriously.
"There's no need to tell me Mr. Cheng's personal feelings." Zheng Dandan stood up and prepared to leave.
"Didn't you say that any misunderstandings should be explained clearly?" Cheng Huadong looked at Zheng Dandan.
Zheng Dandan paused and said goodbye to Cheng Huadong: "Goodbye, let's talk again another day."
Cheng Huadong watched Zheng Dandan's back gradually walking away, his eyes drooped, and he picked up the address she wrote to him as if possessed by a ghost, folded it slowly, and put it carefully into his right breast pocket.
After leaving Longxing Street, Zheng Dandan did not go home directly. She rode her bicycle directly to the shantytown.
Many of the people living in the shantytowns are educated youth who have returned to their hometowns. They are finally able to return to the city, but there is no place for them in the city anymore.
Without a job, it's hard to return home. To survive, they've developed various professions, such as "agents."
Zheng Dandan approached them precisely to rent a warehouse that could hold tens of thousands of pounds of goods.
"Little comrade, what are you doing here?"
Zheng Dandan had just gotten off the bus and walked for a few minutes when a middle-aged man came up to her, looked at her expectantly and asked.
"I want to find someone to help me rent a house." Zheng Dandan expressed her request.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard Zheng Dandan's words. "Hello, my name is Tan Xueming. Maybe I can help you."
"I need it urgently. Can you get it done today?" Zheng Dandan looked at Tan Xueming.
Tan Xueming looked a little embarrassed, but he nodded heavily, "I'll try my best, okay?"
"Sorry, I don't mean to try my best." Seeing that Tan Xueming was unsure, Zheng Dandan shook her head and rejected him. Perhaps Tan Xueming would try his best, but why should she take the risk that he might not find it?
"Young comrade, please believe me, I can do it." Tan Xueming pleaded when he saw Zheng Dandan turning around to leave. The eyes of a grown man turned red because of being rejected.
"Xue Ming, let's give up. Come back soon to see the child and accompany her on her last journey. Don't let her have any regrets." Not far away, a middle-aged woman came out of the shed, looked at Tan Xue Ming and cried, her tone full of sadness.
"What's wrong with your child?" Zheng Dandan looked at Tan Xueming in surprise.
"I've caught a cold and have a high fever that won't go away. I need treatment quickly, but all my money is gone," Tan Xueming said helplessly, his expression agonizing. Adults often collapse in an instant. "I'm such a loser. I've lived most of my life in poverty and don't even have money to treat my child."
He cursed himself loudly, and his emotions were so deep that he couldn't help but sob and cry with tears streaming down his face.
Men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are sad.
The people here seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene, with numbness written all over their decadent faces.
"Don't cry, saving the child is more important." Zheng Dandan looked at Bu Luoren, "I'll advance the money for you."
"Really?" Tan Xueming looked at Zheng Dandan in disbelief.
"You can't joke about this kind of thing. Take the child to the hospital immediately!" Zheng Dandan said seriously. Life was at stake, so she could look for a house later.
"Thank you, thank you!" Tan Xueming burst into tears again, but this time he was moved. His voice was trembling with emotion. "Hongmei, bring the child here quickly. Our child is saved!"
Although He Hongmei couldn't hear the conversation between Zheng Dandan and Tan Xueming clearly, she saw their interaction and seemed to have guessed something. She was ecstatic and immediately went into the house to take the child out.
The child is still very young, looks only five or six years old, a little girl.
Zheng Dandan looked at the little girl's face, which was red from the fever, and her heart tightened. She looked at He Hongmei, pointed at the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Hurry up and hold the child and sit on it."
He Hongmei immediately obeyed and did as she was told.
"Let's go to the hospital first." After seeing He Hongmei sitting down, Zheng Dandan got on the bicycle, left these words and sped away.
"Doctor, the little girl has typhoid fever and a serious fever. Please help take a look." After entering the hospital, Zheng Dandan quickly grabbed a doctor and said breathlessly.
"Where is the little girl?" the doctor looked at Zheng Dandan and asked.
When He Hongmei heard the doctor's question, she immediately came forward with her child in her arms, crying, "He's been here, having a fever for a whole day and night."
The doctor frowned when he saw the child and said, "Go and register." Then he hurriedly took the child and took him away.
"You stay with the child, I'll go register." Zheng Dandan instructed He Hongmei that the child must be accompanied by someone.
"Okay." He Hongmei nodded, feeling very nervous.
After a while, the child's father, Tan Xueming, finally arrived.
"How is Niuniu now?"
"He's receiving an IV drip. The doctor said he hasn't passed the critical period yet and needs to be observed." He Hongmei leaned on Tan Xueming's chest and sobbed uncomfortably.
"It will be fine." Zheng Dandan couldn't bear to watch such a scene and comforted him.
Tan Xueming looked at Zheng Dandan, his eyes reddening again. "Little comrade, thank you so much today. No matter what happens to Niu Niu, I, Tan Xueming, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life!"
At this time, the nurse who was responsible for checking the little girl's condition came over with a thermometer.
After taking the temperature, she exclaimed in surprise, "The child's temperature has dropped!"
