After saying goodbye to the restaurant owner, Xia Tian took Qiu Mengyun to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and left together.
After getting in the car, Qiu Mengyun immediately asked, "The boss just asked us to go for a foot bath and massage. Why did you refuse? We're exhausted from carrying heavy loads all day. Isn't it just right to go and relax with a foot bath?"
Xia Tian said innocently, "Didn't you ask me to refuse? I asked you what you meant, and you kept blinking at me, didn't you just want me to refuse?"
Qiu Mengyun said angrily, "What kind of understanding do you have? I asked you to agree, but you refused without even thinking. I was thinking of getting a SPA treatment, but now there's nothing left."
Xia Tian said depressedly, "You can't blame me for this. If you wanted me to agree, you should have nodded at me! You said you neither nodded nor shook your head, but just winked at me. I must have thought you wanted to refuse."
"Forget it. Our plan today was to eat lobster. Now that we've had it, there's nothing to regret. Anyway, you can carve photos out of leaves, right? If I really want to go get a foot massage someday, I'll ask you to carve a photo of the boss lady out of a leaf. We can just take the leaves and trade them."
Qiu Mengyun didn't take this matter to heart and soon got over it.
Xia Tian laughed and said, "No wonder you wanted to give up so badly. So you've made up your mind to use me as a laborer, right?"
"Don't blame me. It's because I'm not as talented as you. If I had your skills, I would have taken you out to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks long ago." Qiu Mengyun coaxed Xia Tian with a smile.
After returning to the community, Qiu Mengyun scanned the fare to the driver and the two got off the car together.
"Hey, it seems the boss I just had dinner with transferred 8,800 yuan to me." Xia Tian, holding his phone to light up, saw an unread message on WeChat and clicked it to take a look. To his surprise, it was a transfer from the restaurant owner.
"Why did he transfer money to us? Did he recognize our identities? But that shouldn't be the case. Didn't we put on makeup before going out? He shouldn't have recognized us so quickly, right?" Qiu Mengyun was very confused when she heard Xia Tian say that the restaurant owner transferred more than 8,000 yuan to them.
If it was just a red envelope of a few dozen dollars, they could still understand it, as perhaps the other party was generous enough to pay for their fare.
But this 8800 red envelope was no small sum. If they didn't understand why the money was transferred, they wouldn't dare spend it.
After pondering for a moment, Xia Tian finally said, "Why don't we just not take the money and pretend we didn't see it. We can just wait 24 hours and have it automatically refunded."
Qiu Mengyun shook her head and said, "That's definitely not okay. We still don't know why he transferred the money to us. If we don't figure out the reason, he might continue to transfer money to you later. This time it was WeChat and you can wait for the money to be returned on its own, but what if he transfers it directly to your Alipay account using your mobile phone number next time? That will be credited to your account in real time. If he insists on transferring the money to you, what can you do?"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Xia Tian directly asked the question to Qiu Mengyun.
"It's simple, just give him a call and ask. When we parted just now, didn't he ask us to report back to him when we got home? You can use the excuse of reporting back to him to ask him why he transferred the money. Only when we figure out the matter will we know how to deal with it." Qiu Mengyun analyzed clearly.
Xia Tian nodded, agreeing with her point of view.
Then he picked up his phone and made a voice call to his friend named Qin Fen.
"Hello, Brother Xia, are you home?" After the call was connected, Qin Fen's friendly and enthusiastic voice immediately came from the phone.
Xia Tian also responded with a smile: "Yes, Mengyun and I have returned to the community. It's not because I was afraid that you would worry, Brother Qin, that I called you right away to let you know I'm safe."
"Haha! Okay, I got it. As long as you get home safely, that's all that matters." Qin Fen was very happy to hear that Xia Tian valued him so much.
Xia Tian continued, "Brother Qin, I actually called you this time to ask you something. What's going on with the 8,800 yuan you just transferred to me on WeChat?"
"Did you forget to switch chat windows when you were transferring money to someone else just now, and that's why the money was transferred to me by mistake?"
"Hahaha! I knew that you wouldn't call me just to report your safety. Now it seems that it was true, you really came here for the 8,800 yuan." Qin Fen seemed to have expected Xia Tian to ask about the 8,800 yuan. He was not surprised or astonished at all.
"Brother Xia Tian, this money was not transferred to the wrong person. It's for you. I know you might not understand why I transferred the money to you. In fact, this is not my money, but the money of the diners tonight."
When he heard that it was the diners' money, Xia Tian frowned even more.
If it was just Qin Fen's money, then things would be simpler. He could just refuse to accept it or return it to him after receiving it.
But if it was the diners' money, things would be troublesome. He couldn't remember who gave the money to so many people. This led to him not knowing who to return the money to even if he wanted to.
"Brother Qin, you should know that I'm not a professional karaoke singer. So I can't accept tips from those customers. Why don't you think of a way to return them?" Xia Tian said with a wry smile.
