Chapter 52: Bonus
Lu Dongsheng looked at Shen Lin with admiration.
Although he lacks social experience, he still understands some things.
The fact that Shen Lin was able to solve the problem so easily was certainly due to Zheng Yunhong and others, but it also spoke volumes about the boss’s connections.
The boss I follow is not an ordinary person!
"Boss, do you have any iced soda left? Give me two bottles." A student who walked out of the school gate wiped the sweat from his head and shouted loudly to Lu Dongsheng.
When business came to him, Lu Dongsheng said happily: "Here they come, here they come!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out two bottles of iced soda from the camphorwood box and handed them to the student.
"Boss, give me two bottles too..."
"I'm so thirsty, give me an ice pack..."
Just as Lu Dongsheng started to get busy, Xu Laosan came to Shen Lin with a pancake. He rubbed his hands and said, "Shen Lin, just now I..."
Shen Lin knew what Xu Laosan wanted to say without him saying anything. Shen Lin understood very well why Xu Laosan didn't help him at this time.
After all, Xu Laosan is just an ordinary person. Facing Zhang Sihe and others, his best choice is to run as far as possible.
"It's okay. If I meet those people, I might hide even farther away from them than you do." Shen Lin took the pancake from Xu Laosan and said calmly.
When Xu Laosan saw Shen Lin take the pancake, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The main reason why he came over to show his goodwill to Shen Lin was that he felt that Shen Lin was more powerful than Zhang Sihe.
As a small person, he couldn't afford to offend such a strong man, nor did he want to offend him.
"Okay, that's great." Xu Laosan said a few words to Shen Lin with a smile, then walked towards his stall.
What Xu Laosan didn't know was that, although Shen Lin didn't mean to blame him just now, he was just a passerby to Shen Lin.
A passer-by who happened to meet to do business .
Despite the unexpected incident involving Zhang Sihe, Shen Lin's business became extremely popular as soon as it opened in the afternoon.
Although Lu Dongsheng helped, Shen Lin was still a little flustered.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, most of the things Shen Lin brought had been sold. Just as Shen Lin was about to pack up his stall, Zheng Yunhong and Lin Tongwei came over on their bicycles.
"Xiao Shen, business is good, right?" Zheng Yunhong said to Shen Lin with a smile.
Shen Lin quickly took out the two bottles of iced soda he had prepared for himself, and handed them to Zheng Yunhong and Lin Tongwei without saying anything, "Captain Zheng, have some water, both of you."
Riding their bicycles all the way, Zheng Yunhong and Lin Tongwei were already sweating profusely. Holding the iced soda, both of them felt a chill rushing down their palms into their bodies.
"Xiao Shen, I won't be polite then." Zheng Yunhong opened the soda and took a sip, saying, "It's so comfortable to drink iced soda on a hot day!"
Shen Lin said to Lu Dongsheng, "Xiao Lu, please come over and tell me something."
As they were talking, Shen Lin took Zheng Yunhong to a corner under the shade of a tree. After chatting with Shen Lin for a few words, Zheng Yunhong pointed at Lin Tongwei and said, "I gave this kid a good scolding. He is so careless and sloppy. If it weren't for you, Shen Lin, something serious would have happened."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Tongwei's face.
To be honest, he didn't think much of street vendors like Shen Lin, but Zheng Yunhong had already said that if he wanted to avoid punishment, Shen Lin had to cooperate.
It can be said that his honor and disgrace now all depend on Shen Lin's thoughts. He has already prepared himself mentally. After rubbing his hands, he said to Shen Lin: "Xiao Shen, I want to apologize to you for this matter..."
Shen Lin didn't need Lin Tongwei's apology at all. For him, his goal had been achieved now, and apologies had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Lin, you are older than me and you are my brother-in-law's colleague. Please don't think it's too abrupt if I call you Brother Lin."
As soon as Shen Lin finished speaking, Lin Tongwei's expression looked much better, and Zheng Yunhong, who was standing aside, nodded slightly.
At this time, Zheng Yunhong's evaluation of Shen Lin reached a new level.
Originally, in Zheng Yunhong's eyes, Shen Lin was just a young man who could earn a little money, but now, Shen Lin's demeanor made him feel that Shen Lin was a person who could do great things.
"Xiao Shen, this is what happened." Zheng Yunhong had made his judgment about Shen Lin, and he no longer concealed his thoughts and spoke them out directly.
After Shen Lin listened to what Zheng Yunhong said, he thought about it and already had the answer.
The credit belongs to my brother-in-law, and I will still be a good young man who is brave enough to do something righteous. As long as these two points remain unchanged, why not do the other things to make things convenient for others?
What's more, although Lin Tongwei is a bit proud, Shen Lin feels that he is a good person based on the way he does things and speaks.
He couldn't bear to ruin someone's life because of such a small thing.
So he said to Zheng Yunhong and Lin Tongwei: "Director Zheng, why bother you two to come here in person for such a small matter? Just let my brother-in-law tell me."
Although Zheng Yunhong had long anticipated that Shen Lin would not object, he was still very happy to hear him speak so frankly.
"Okay, Xiao Shen, let's leave it at that." Zheng Yunhong said this and turned to leave. But just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Xiao Shen, you still have to help take notes in the next two days."
"Zhang Sihe and his gang are suspected of intimidating others and forcing them to buy and sell. We are prepared to deal with them seriously."
Since Zheng Yunhong said that he would deal with it seriously, then the punishment would definitely not be light. Shen Lin nodded and said, "That's what I should do. Just let me know when the police station lets me go."
Zheng Yunhong nodded and said, "I hope there will be more young people like you who are brave and law-abiding. We can't stand watching people like you suffer."
"If you find someone like Zhang Sihe again, be sure to report it to us immediately."
After a few pleasantries, Zheng Yunhong and the other man left. Shen Lin returned to his stall with two glass soda bottles and said to Lu Dongsheng who was cleaning up, "Xiao Lu, you've worked hard today."
"Boss, I'm just here to check on the stall for you. I'm not tired." Lu Dongsheng wiped the sweat from his face and said honestly.
Shen Lin looked at the stall that had been almost cleaned up, and thought that Lu Dongsheng was a really good guy. If he didn't need to go to school, he would have made this guy his first employee.
"Here is one dollar, your wages." Shen Lin took out one dollar and handed it to Lu Dongsheng, saying solemnly.
Lu Dongsheng looked at the one dollar and didn't know what to say. Although this one dollar was not much, it was the first money he earned since he came to Dongzhou City.
"Thank you, boss." Lu Dongsheng took the dollar and said solemnly.
"Don't thank me, this is what you deserve." As Shen Lin spoke, he took out another five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lu Dongsheng, saying, "Dongsheng, this is your bonus."
"bonus!"
Looking at the five yuan for steelmaking, Lu Dongsheng's hands trembled a little. He never thought that Shen Lin would give him a bonus.
"Boss, this... this..."
"Take it. You were able to protect our stall by yourself today, so this is what you deserve." As Shen Lin spoke, he stuffed the five dollars into Lu Dongsheng's hand without further ado.
