Chapter 43 Groundhog
Two hundred thousand?
Who would be so generous as to give such a large scholarship to a high school sophomore ? Perhaps it was not just the 200,000 yuan, but even the scholarships given to other students in the school were sponsored in order to give him the money legitimately and without being rejected.
Moreover, the other party must have investigated him recently and knew that he was short of money. That's why they made up all kinds of excuses and tried every means to send the money to him. Two hundred thousand is just enough for him to live a comfortable life, but not too much to cause other troubles.
Rong Yuan remained calm as he stuffed the two envelopes into his schoolbag. Without waiting for his instructions, Wandou began to search for the sponsor's information and the connection between him and Rong Yuan.
Soon, Wandou came to a conclusion: "Rongyuan, the sponsor of the scholarship is Xingyu Cultural Communication Company in City A, and the registered legal person of the company is Li Chenxuan. Li Chenxuan's grandfather is Li Ningxu."
"It's him again?" Rong Yuan was a little surprised. He had helped many people during this period, but none of them had repaid him so subtly. Some people even turned their backs on him, and some wanted to turn the tables. For the latter, Rong Yuan never hesitated to let them know why the flowers were so red.
Thinking about the special care I received in the hospital last time, maybe the other party thought it was just a convenience and not a big deal. That’s why I got this extra scholarship.
"Do you want to return it?" Pea asked.
Rong Yuan was puzzled: "Why do you want to go back?"
"According to universal values, he is insulting you by using money to repay your life-saving grace." Pea said: "If you accept this money and expect a reward for your kindness, then your character is flawed."
I don't know what kind of messed up information it has received on the Internet. Rong Yuan asked: "Wandou, is this a lot of money for them?"
"A drop in the bucket." said Pea.
"Is that a lot for me?"
Pea hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a lot for the current situation, but you have the ability to easily earn tens of millions of times more money, so... it's not worth mentioning."
"If that's the case, then why are you worried about it?" Rong Yuan asked. He looked at the young man sitting on the stage in a suit and tie, looking like a successful person, and said, "Besides, there is another reason why I didn't refuse."
"For those who are grateful, it is best to repay the favor with money. I'll accept it, and we'll be even. From now on, we'll understand and won't be troubled anymore."
"If I refuse, it will make things difficult for the other party, because it means they owe me a debt of favor that they can't repay."
"So, if he wants to repay the favor, just let him go. It won't hurt me anyway."
Pea silently recorded his words in its optical brain. It found that no matter how much knowledge it had learned on the Internet and how powerful its intelligence gathering ability was, it would always seem a little stupid in front of this contractor. It thought that it still had a lot to learn, and some things could not be learned from the Internet alone.
…
On the third day of the winter vacation, Jin Yang was packed up and sent to City B by his parents. His grandparents and grandparents-in-law were all there, and they missed him terribly. They called Jin Bai and his wife ten times a day during the winter vacation to urge them to send their precious grandson over as soon as possible. They simply couldn't wait a moment. Jin Yang's parents couldn't take a long vacation for the time being, so they could only send their son alone to relieve the pain of missing him.
It was a bit chaotic near the New Year, and Jin Yang's mother was worried about her son taking the train to City B alone. However, Allen Neil said that his grandfather had asked him to visit Grandpa Jin, and he didn't have much to do in City A, so he could go to City B with Jin Yang. Only then did Jin Yang's mother let him go.
After seeing Jin Yang and the other person off, Rong Yuan went directly to the train station and bought a ticket for the nearest train to City S and soon got on the train.
After getting off the train, the train station in City S was no different from that in City A, with the same bustling crowds, various advertisements and flyers, and beggars dressed in fancy clothes.
Rong Yuan walked past the beggars with a cold expression, just like the other passengers. Numerous videos and investigative reports revealing the truth show that nine out of ten beggars today are scammers. Some even live in luxury houses, drive luxury cars, and go to high-end clubs, but they turn around and change their clothes and become poor beggars on the street with no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to fill their stomachs.
Are there any people who really need help? Yes, Rong Yuan has mastered the method to easily identify them. For example...
[For turning a blind eye to Sun Wenyi who was in trouble, Merit -80.] Rong Yuan stopped and looked back at the person he had just walked past - a man, slightly fat, dark-skinned, in his forties, squatting on the ground pitifully, not begging, his small eyes just staring blankly at the ground.
It looks like a large groundhog.
In front of him was a piece of cardboard torn from a waste paper box, on which was written: "My name is Sun Wenyi, my mobile phone number is 111464646, and my home address is Unit 2, Building 5, Anlu Community, Xueyuan Street, W City, X Province. My wallet and mobile phone were stolen by a thief, and I have no money to go home . Please help me. The ticket cost is 667 yuan in total. Please leave your account number and I will return it tenfold later. Thank you very much!"
To prove the authenticity of the information, his ID card was placed next to it.
However, no money to go home, no money to eat, wallet stolen, sick in hospital, hungry children... Anyone with a little experience has seen similar excuses for begging countless times. Most people just walk past without even looking at them, and a few stop for a moment, but lose interest after seeing such a classic excuse for begging. There are only a few coins on the cardboard.
"Hey!" Rong Yuan stood in front of him and called out.
The groundhog raised his head and looked up at him and said, "What's the matter, little brother?" He spoke slowly and honestly.
Rong Yuan said, "It's just over 600. You are strong and healthy, why don't you go work?"
"I want to do that too!" The groundhog pouted and said with a wronged look on his face, "But when others heard that I could only work for a few days, they refused to hire me. Next Wednesday is my wife's birthday, so I have to go back as soon as possible."
This man in his forties actually speaks in a girlish and innocent way. The contrast is huge, not cute at all.
Rong Yuan asked: "Where is your home?"
"W City." The groundhog pointed to the address on the sign and looked at the boy in front of him expectantly. Then he saw Rong Yuan turned and walked away, and his mouth drooped in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, Rong Yuan came back a short while later. He squatted down and put a ticket in front of him, saying, "The ticket to W City will leave in two hours. Hurry and pack your things."
The groundhog stared at him blankly, as if he didn't understand. After a while, he finally reacted, happily grabbed the ticket, took a look at it, and said in astonishment, "Hard...hard seat?"
"What? Do you dislike it? If you dislike it, just give it back to me." Although Rong Yuan wanted to help, he had no intention of spending more money for his comfort.
"No problem! No problem!" The groundhog quickly put the ticket into his pocket and thanked him with a smile, "Thank you! You really helped me a lot! If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do. I've been squatting here for two days, and no one cares about me. By the way, what's your name? What's your account number? I'll transfer the money to you later."
Rong Yuan saw that he became carefree so quickly that he didn't even look at the coins on the ground. He knew that he might come from a good family and his family had spoiled him until he was this age, but they didn't love him long-term and developed such a stupid character.
Rong Yuan left his account number, turned around, waved goodbye, and left. But he hadn't taken a few steps when the groundhog caught up with him, hesitating, "Well... it's two days on the train, what am I going to eat?"
"Solve it yourself."
The groundhog looked at Rong Yuan and said this coldly. He was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the other party would buy a ticket worth hundreds of yuan but not give him any money for food. He didn't have the courage to chase him. After thinking for a while, he suddenly ran back to pick up the coins on the ground, wiped them, and carefully put them in his pocket together with the ticket.
At this time, Rong Yuan had already walked out of the train station, got into a taxi, and said, "Let's go to the detention center."
