Chapter 53: Different Paths, Different Plans
After receiving the text message reminding him that the money had arrived, Tan Xuan's face, which had been sullen till then, finally showed a smile.
Tan Xuan smiled and joked with Yang Junwen: "As a businessman, you believe others' words so easily. Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?"
“Hahaha…” Yang Junwen laughed heartily and said to Tan Xuan in high spirits, “Although I haven’t had much contact with Master Tan, I believe in his character and I believe even more in your ability.”
"That's good. In that case, I won't disturb your rest. You've been busy for so many days. You should have a good sleep." Tan Xuan was even more direct. After getting the money, he said goodbye to Yang Junwen directly and did not continue to chat with Yang Junwen along with the topic he had started. That was not what he was good at, nor what he liked.
"Then I'll see you off." Yang Junwen was stunned for a moment, then politely stood up to see him off. He knew that Tan Xuan didn't want to talk to him about anything else, although the two of them had no common topics, so he didn't try to keep him.
"No need, I know where the elevator is." Tan Xuan turned around and walked out without Yang Junwen seeing him off.
"Master Tan, please stay."
Ge Youming, who had been too embarrassed to look up, suddenly called out to Tan Xuan.
Tan Xuan stopped the steps he had just taken, turned around and looked at Ge Youming with "confusion", and asked: "Is there something wrong?"
"That..." Ge Youming's face flushed, and it was obvious that he found it difficult to say what he wanted to say.
Tan Xuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and deliberately said: "It's okay, I'll leave, you don't have to see me off, you don't have to thank me, I didn't save you for nothing, Boss Yang has already given me the money just now."
"Master Tan, wait a moment." Ge Youming finally stopped being embarrassed and directly stated his intention, "I think this lady is holding my magic weapon. I wonder if Master Tan can return it to me."
Since Xiao Di entered the ward, Ge Youming didn't pay much attention to the appearance of this beautiful woman, but put all his energy into the wooden box in her hand. He could feel that his treasures were still in it without looking. He didn't want to lose it again after losing it.
"Give it back to you?" Tan Xuan looked at Ge Youming and frowned. "I can't make the decision on this. This was picked up by my friend at the riverside at the risk of her life. You can ask her."
"Picked it up?" Ge Youming was a little amused by Tan Xuan's description, but he didn't dare to contradict her since he was asking for help. He could only politely say to Xiao Di: "Miss, can you return these things to me? They are very important to me."
"This... I..." Xiao Di didn't know how to agree. After all, when she came, she hadn't asked Tan Xuan how to tell the other party. Now the other party suddenly asked her, and was so polite. She was a little confused and at a loss. She didn't know whether she should take the money or not. She could only look at Tan Xuan and ask him for help.
"Alas..." Tan Xuan sighed, "I know you risked your life to save this thing, and you planned to sell it to an expert to protect it from being lost in the dust. But this is someone else's thing. Even though they threw it away, it's more or less inappropriate for you to take it away like this."
"Sell it?" Ge Youming almost dropped his jaw in shock. He looked at the man and woman in front of him in disbelief. They actually said it so bluntly in front of him, the original owner. He had the urge to curse, but when he thought of the gap between himself and Tan Xuan, he tried hard to hold it back.
"No..." Xiao Di didn't expect Tan Xuan to say such a thing. He wanted to explain to Ge Youming, but was stopped by Tan Xuan.
"Why, you still want to collect them yourself?" Tan Xuan shook his head vigorously. "No, those things are not suitable for collection. You should sell them and buy some supplements to replenish your body. If you can't find a buyer, I can find a few for you. I know quite a few people in this field."
"No!" No matter how dumb Ge Youming was, he understood what Tan Xuan meant at this moment. "Well, beauty, this thing is very important to me, so don't look for other buyers. Give it back to me, I won't take it for nothing, and I will give you money."
"this……"
When Xiao Di hesitated for a moment, Tan Xuan spoke directly, "That's fine too. Don't expect to sell this for a high price. Although these magic tools are more important than life to some people in the industry, we shouldn't make it too difficult for them. Let's sell this master for the price of saving one person."
"Well……"
Ge Youming almost choked and his expression changed again and again. Finally, he said helplessly, "I don't have that much cash."
Tan Xuan shook his head. "That's a difficult thing to do. You're just trying to get something for nothing. I didn't even ask her to ask for more. If we sell those things separately, the price will be much higher than that."
"I know, I know." Ge Youming said hurriedly, with an embarrassment on his face. Of course he knew the value of his things, but the key was that he didn't have that much money on hand. Originally, he wanted to make a fortune by showing off his skills with these things, but now he didn't make any money, and he had to lose so much.
"Why don't you borrow it from someone?" Tan Xuan "kindly" reminded Ge Youming.
"This..." Ge Youming looked back at Yang Junwen. Without Tan Xuan's reminder, he also thought of this big boss. However, Yang Junwen had already paid for him just now. Now he was too embarrassed to ask Yang Junwen again.
Yang Junwei patted Ge Youming on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. Since you want those things, I'll help you get them first. Just pay me back when you have money."
"Okay." Ge Youming nodded.
Yang Junwen was straightforward. Although Tan Xuan said that the things were picked up by Xiao Di, he still transferred the money to Tan Xuan. As for how they divided it, that was not his concern.
After receiving the money, Tan Xuan asked Xiao Di to give the wooden box to Ge Youming. After Ge Youming took it, he opened the wooden box directly. Seeing that there were still all the things inside, he immediately burst into tears.
Tan Xuan glanced at Ge Youming, then at Yang Junwen, and said with a smile: "Since Boss Yang is so generous, I will give you a word of advice before I leave. Be careful so as not to be cheated."
"Thank you, I will." Yang Junwen and Tan Xuan nodded, accepting this statement. As for whether they took it to heart, that is another matter.
"Okay, let's go." Tan Xuan asked Xiao Di and Su Cheng to leave. Xiao Di followed Tan Xuan's footsteps, but Su Cheng did not move.
"Aren't you leaving?" Tan Xuan and Su Cheng asked.
Su Cheng shook his head. "There are two patients here. I'm afraid Yumin can't handle it alone. I'd better stay and help her so that she won't be so busy alone."
Tan Xuan looked at Su Cheng again and nodded, not showing any displeasure. "If you want to stay, then stay. It's up to you."
"Let's go." Tan Xuan called Xiao Di and left.
"Let me take you there." Su Cheng shouted and chased after them.
When they got downstairs and faced Tan Xuan and Xiao Di alone again, Su Cheng became a little uncomfortable. After standing in front of Tan Xuan's car for a while, she said shyly: "When we were by the river, I was worried that they might have an accident, so I left in a hurry. I hope you won't be angry."
"It's okay. You can't help much if you stay there, and we need you more here. Well, it's getting late. Go upstairs. We have to leave too."
Without Tan Xuan saying anything, Xiao Di dealt with it directly. He just said that it was okay, but his tone was stiff and it was obvious that he had no intention of forgiving.
Su Cheng curled his lips and pretended to be pitiful, "You are still angry with me."
"Why are you angry? We all know the situation at that time. Okay, you can go back." Xiao Di was too lazy to continue talking to Su Cheng on this topic. Talking too much would make it easier to say more unpleasant words. After all, everyone has their own standards of right and wrong. Things have been done, and there is no point in talking about it later.
"Please don't be like this." Su Cheng stamped his feet twice, his expression was very artificial, "Sister Xiao Di, Tan Xuan, don't worry, next time there is an event, I will definitely stand by you, just wait and see how I perform."
"Stop!" Tan Xuan, who had been silent, couldn't help but lean on the car door and said to Su Cheng: "Su Cheng, I want to make it clear to you, I am just an online car-hailing driver, not a master, nor a charlatan. I will not participate in your activities in the future. I advise you not to always engage in supernatural adventure activities. You have experienced the dangers, and I don't want to say more. If something really happens, the consequences will not be something that you excitement seekers can bear."
"Tan Xuan, please don't say that. Look, you made a lot of money this time. It takes ordinary people several years to make this much. It just so happens that I can meet people in need in the group..."
Tan Xuan stretched out his hand to signal Su Cheng to stop talking, "I drive to make money, no matter how much I make, it's my own business, I don't need you to be my agent and get me this kind of work."
Hearing Tan Xuan's words, Su Cheng immediately became unhappy, "How can you be so ungrateful? This is not more than what you earn driving a car. I saw that you were quite active in asking for money. What's more, you can get to know some rich people like Mr. Yang. The circle is different, and the experience is also different."
Tan Xuan's face suddenly turned cold, "Shut up! Why shouldn't I want the money? I didn't take his money for nothing. You can do whatever you want in the future. We have different ideals and cannot make plans together. Don't bother me with this matter again in the future, and it's best not to contact me again."
"You..." Seeing Tan Xuan getting into the car, Su Cheng stamped his feet angrily, "You are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be helped."
"Whether I'm rotten or not is none of your business. You don't need to worry about it." Tan Xuan slammed the car door shut, started the car and left.
Seeing that Tan Xuan didn't wait for him, Xiao Di slammed the car door hard, "Hey! You bastard, wait for me."
Tan Xuan stopped the car, Xiao Di opened the door and sat in the passenger seat, then he yelled at Tan Xuan angrily: "You bastard, you want to leave me here alone in the middle of the night?"
Tan Xuan snorted coldly, "Aren't you going to participate in her activities to record the materials? You should go with her."
"I can't record anything I want to record, so why should I participate? And if I really encounter a situation that is more dangerous than following the police, I'd better just make my documentary video honestly. Also, you haven't given me the money yet. Do you want to embezzle it? Didn't you say that the money for the box belongs to me..."
Despite the endless chatter in his ears, Tan Xuan did not say a word. He started the car again and slowly left the hospital.
"After all my hard work, you should treat me to a meal, right?"
