To avoid any more trouble, Cheng Lang walked out of the art museum and immediately took Shen Huaiyu to the nearest bank to cash the cash check.
Shen Huaiyu, who had been in a daze, didn't come to his senses until the money was in his pocket. Looking at the extra string of numbers in his bank card, he asked in disbelief, "Did we really get the money back?"
"Of course it's true." Cheng Lang said with a smile, "If you don't believe it, count it a few more times."
Shen Huaiyu lowered his head, staring at the string of numbers on the screen of his mobile phone. A few drops of water quietly fell on it, wetting the screen.
Cheng Lang considerately turned his head away and did not laugh at Shen Huaiyu's crying. Although it is said that men do not shed tears easily, it depends on the situation.
Shen Huaiyu has been under a lot of pressure in the past few months. His parents were in a car accident, and his only remaining brother became a vegetable and lay unconscious in the hospital. The uncle, who was originally respected, revealed his ugly face in front of money. Every time he opened his eyes, he faced medical expenses of more than 200,000 yuan per month.
He wanted to work to earn some money, but he ran into that bastard, Lu Chengxuan. His personality and dignity were insulted, and there were constant rumors around him... After all, Shen Huaiyu was just a little boy who just turned 18.
Cheng Lang sighed and suddenly heard a text message alert. Cheng Lang took out his mobile phone and saw the reminder message from the bank—there was just an extra 2.8 million on his card.
"What are you doing?" Cheng Lang frowned and looked at Shen Huaiyu, "Are you worried about the extra money? Send it to the hospital! Why are you transferring it to my card?"
"No." Fearing that Cheng Lang would be angry, Shen Huaiyu hurriedly shook her head and explained, "Didn't we agree before? If we can get the money back, we will split it in half."
"I was just kidding you, but you took it seriously." Cheng Lang chuckled, "Stop it. Keep the money. This is the last thing your parents left for you. Don't forget that your brother is still in the hospital!"
Cheng Lang returned the money intact. Shen Huaiyu whispered, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten the money back."
Cheng Lang knew what Shen Huaiyu was thinking and asked, "Do you know how much money I made in White Jade Capital these two nights?"
Shen Huaiyu nodded. More than 300,000 the night before yesterday, and 500,000 last night.
Cheng Lang said, "At this rate, your 2.8 million is not enough for me to earn in a week."
Shen Huaiyu was slightly startled and lowered his head in some confusion. He was indeed useless.
"I'm not telling you that!" Cheng Lang reached out and rubbed Shen Huaiyu's head, ruffling the handsome guy's hair into a chicken nest, "I'm not short of money. I can also make money. I help you only because I treat you as a friend. I think you are a trustworthy person. In this case, don't insist on talking to me about money. Sometimes, if you insist on using money to settle things clearly, it will seem alienated. Do you understand?"
Shen Huaiyu looked at Cheng Lang as if he understood.
Cheng Lang knew that Shen Huaiyu might not understand, "Forget it. Take your time."
Cheng Lang glanced at the time, "It's noon. Are you hungry? Please treat me to a meal."
Shen Huaiyu understood this sentence. He nodded immediately, "What do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Cheng Lang stretched his waist lazily and said, "Of course, I have to eat a good meal. I heard that a new barbecue restaurant opened nearby. It seems very good. Let's go eat barbecue."
Shen Huaiyu nodded, "Okay—"
Before he finished speaking, Shen Huaiyu's mobile phone suddenly rang. Shen Huaiyu took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Shen Cheng’an calling.
Shen Huaiyu subconsciously looked at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang said lazily, "Answer it."
Shen Huaiyu answered the phone and pressed the play button. Then Shen Cheng’an asked politely, "Huaiyu, where are you now? Is the matter done? Ask your classmate if he can take down the LED screen in the square. Uncle is going to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition today. It will have a bad influence if you keep the screen up."
Shen Huaiyu looked at Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang said, "We will withdraw at 12 o'clock. President Shen is very tolerant. He won't be unable to wait for this little time, right?"
"Of course! Of course!" Shen Cheng'an felt a headache when he heard Cheng Lang's voice. He didn't know what he was saying, "That's fine. You guys are busy. Contact me when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Huaiyu stared at the phone for a while and suddenly looked at Cheng Lang and said, "My uncle seems to be very afraid of you."
Cheng Lang concluded, "This is called evil people will be punished by evil people."
"You are not an evil person." Shen Huaiyu disagreed, "You are the best person I have ever met."
Cheng Lang said nothing, "Let's eat, I'm hungry."
Shen Huaiyu followed Cheng Lang with hair like a chicken's nest on his head, "By the way, how much does it cost to rent that LED screen for a day? I'll transfer the money to you. You helped me get so much money back, I can't let you spend it again."
"It's not much. Just two hours." Cheng Lang said, "You can transfer the money to me. I'll give you the invoice for renting the screen later, and you can reimburse me according to the price on it."
"Two hours?" Shen Huaiyu widened his eyes in surprise, "Didn't you tell my uncle before that you rented it until five o'clock in the afternoon?"
"My little master! Do you know where this is? The LED screen in the center of the CBD business district of this city is not something you can rent for a day. It's not easy for me to rent it for two hours."
Shen Huaiyu was confused, "But you..."
"That was a lie." Cheng Lang pushed open the bank door and said as he walked, "With your uncle's courage to think ahead, two hours is enough for him."
Shen Huaiyu suddenly realized and couldn't help asking, "But what if my uncle is not scared and refuses to give the money?"
Cheng Lang said, "Then tomorrow he can really enjoy the feeling of the whole family being surrounded by 360-degree revelations."
Cheng Lang said it lightly. Shen Huaiyu imagined the scene and couldn't help shuddering. It was like someone holding a loudspeaker and shouting out his experience in White Jade Capital repeatedly in the school. Shen Huaiyu felt suffocated just thinking about it. He wanted to find a hole in the ground and suffocate himself to death immediately.
Cheng Lang glanced at Shen Huaiyu, who was still in a state of fear. Shen Cheng’an thought he was ruthless, but Cheng Lang was just following suit. To achieve such an immediate effect, he had to thank the Shen family for understanding the evil of human hearts and knowing where to start and how to torture people to death.
"You intellectuals are really scary." Cheng Lang sighed, "You don't need a knife to kill people!"
Shen Huaiyu looked at Cheng Lang with tears in his eyes.
The barbecue restaurant that Cheng Lang mentioned is on the fifth floor of the Food Court. When Cheng Lang and Shen Huaiyu found the place, there was already a long line outside the restaurant. Cheng Lang looked at the long line and frowned, "Forget it, come again next time. Let's change one."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Huaiyu stopped Cheng Lang, "I don't think the line is very long. It will probably take about half an hour."
Cheng Lang smiled at Shen Huaiyu.
Shen Huaiyu was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
"Not bad!" Cheng Lang smiled and said, "You’re in the mood to queue up for a meal."
Cheng Lang still remembered Shen Huaiyu's pitiful appearance before. Everything he ate tasted like chewing wax, and he was determined to not starve to death.
Shen Huaiyu blinked, obviously a little shy.
Cheng Lang didn't tease Shen Huaiyu anymore, "Then you wait in line here, I'll go buy two glasses of water." After talking so much in the morning, Cheng Lang's throat was about to smoke.
Shen Huaiyu nodded obediently.
Cheng Lang found a milk tea shop nearby and ordered two cups of fruit tea. The girl who made milk tea looked at Cheng Lang curiously, glancing at him again and again.
Cheng Lang ignored it. When the fruit tea was ready, the girl couldn't help asking, "Are you the righteous guy who just sought justice for his classmate at the entrance of the art museum?"
Cheng Lang raised his eyebrows.
The girl blushed and said, "It's all over the Internet. You're so good at talking. Your classmate is so lucky to have a good friend like you."
It's all over the Internet?
Cheng Lang took out his mobile phone.
His first reaction was that the popularity was so great, could it attract traffic to the milk tea shop? His second reaction was to worry about Shen Huaiyu—Shen Cheng’an's words undoubtedly exposed Shen Huaiyu's work in White Jade Capital. Cheng Lang was very worried.
With Shen Huaiyu's personality, he simply couldn't accept the overwhelming attention and criticism.
Cheng Lang hurried back to the barbecue restaurant. Shen Huaiyu was still standing in line. Cheng Lang walked over, handed one of the fruit teas to Shen Huaiyu, and whispered, "Have you been online?"
Shen Huaiyu shook his head. As a good kid who just passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to the Archaeology Department of X University with an excellent score of 703, Shen Huaiyu has not yet developed the habit of surfing the Internet. He didn't know that the news of him and Cheng Lang making a fuss at the calligraphy and painting exhibition had spread online.
Cheng Lang was about to say something when the staff of the barbecue restaurant called out numbers in front of him—it was Cheng Lang and Shen Huaiyu's turn.
The two of them went to the table under the guidance of the waiter. After ordering and waiting for the dishes to be served, Cheng Lang briefly explained the matter.
"In short, there are all kinds of rumors on the Internet now. Some people are born to be argumentative and hate the rich, and they can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. You are right to stay off the Internet."
Shen Huaiyu nodded, and his beautiful eyebrows wrinkled again.
"Don't worry too much. News on the Internet is like a gust of wind. It's over. It's none of your business, and no one will take it to heart." Cheng Lang smiled and said, "You have money now. If you don't want to continue working in White Jade Capital, just quit."
The system was so anxious that it jumped up and down: [Are you crazy? If you persuade him to quit now, what will happen to the plot? Didn't you tell me that what you do will not affect the development of the plot? 】
Cheng Lang ignored the system.
Shen Huaiyu hesitated for a moment and asked, "What about you?"
Cheng Lang smiled and said, "Of course, I will continue to do it! I can earn hundreds of thousands of tips a night, and I am also hoping to become a billionaire in White Jade Capital!"
"Then I will continue to do it too." Shen Huaiyu paused slightly and looked at Cheng Lang with burning eyes, "I think this part-time job is also good. Even if I can't sell wine, I can still make 200 yuan an hour. That's 30,000 yuan a month. I will save the money for my brother's medical treatment. I still have to find a way to make money myself."
"You can stay in the milk tea shop." Cheng Lang said, "This is our own business. It also needs someone to watch over it. You don't have to worry about the revenue of the milk tea shop, I will find a way."
In fact, this milk tea shop is also a way out for Shen Huaiyu, which Cheng Lang found. He thinks Shen Huaiyu is not suitable to stay in a place like White Jade Capital where there is debauchery. It is better to open a small shop by himself and do things cleanly and steadily. When he has nothing to do, he can read some literature, make some tea, and repair some cultural relics. Steal half a day of leisure from the busy life.
Shen Huaiyu shook his head, "The milk tea shop is your business. You have helped me get back the money from selling the house and handling the funeral. I can't be so shameless and take advantage of your milk tea shop."
"How can this be considered taking advantage!" Cheng Lang analyzed, "Whether this milk tea shop can be opened, your existence is crucial."
"You talk, I listen." Shen Huaiyu said, "You help me so much. No matter what you ask me to do, it's what I should do."
Cheng Lang sighed as he looked at Shen Huaiyu, who was inexplicably persistent.
He always felt that this kid had just gotten out of one corner and got into another corner.
Forget it! Cheng Lang shook his head, and he could understand Shen Huaiyu's chick mentality.
Take your time!
