This kind of person had always been far from Temir’s world.
“Mr.
Hanks, you are the guest I was most looking forward to today because I hadn’t contacted you before.
I went to your shop yesterday, but you weren’t there.
I could only send you a ssage on social dia, so I was worried you might not co.”
People encounter many individuals and events in their lives, but so are particularly different.
To Cheng Daqi, Old Hanks was that different person.
“No, things at the shop got finished late today, so…..”
Old Hanks explained that this Dixie boy had actually already co before.
After arriving and seeing the luxury cars parked at the entrance, he quickly went ho to change into proper clothing; now he was here for the second ti.
Bringing Hanks in front of the phone cara, Cheng Daqi said with feeling as he looked into the lens.
“It’s fine as long as you can co, it’s not late at all.
Back then, when I had just arrived in Arica, in this foreign country, you were the first to extend a helping hand to .
A hundred dollars might not seem like a lot, but it gave the confidence to stay in Arica.
I still rember what I said to you, ‘This investnt will definitely have a good return.’
So, I was really looking forward to your coming, allowing to give this return to you, personally.”
If using Sani as a shield was half-true and half an act, then now Cheng Daqi was truly sincere.
Old Hanks was a little nervous because he was a car chanic, so he had a clear understanding of the row of cars parked at the entrance of Cheng Daqi’s house.
The guests of Cheng Daqi tonight were definitely not simple, and now, everyone was curiously looking at him, making Old Hanks feel nervous.
“No need, Chan, I…..”
“No, Mr.
Hanks, you were my first benefactor.
In Hua Country, there is a saying, ‘For a drop of water given, you should repay with an entire lake.’
Cheng Daqi skillfully took out a checkbook from his breast pocket and briefly showed the amount written on it to the cara.
It initially had one thousand written on it, but in front of everyone’s eyes, Cheng Daqi added another zero right there.
“$10,000, you gave a hundred dollars, and today I am returning $10,000 to you.
Don’t think that this amount is too much; it is what I ought to do.”
Amazent, Eris was amazed, Temir was amazed, Lisa was amazed, Kernor was amazed…
When characters’ actions are described in web novels, the shock of onlookers often underscores the protagonist’s awesoness,
but now, Cheng Daqi’s friends were genuinely shocked by his actions.
Soone gives you a hundred dollars, and you directly pay back a thousand, not considering enough and adding another zero on the spot.
Chan, you truly are soone who can achieve great things!
In the live stream’s comnt section, the translator worked quickly, and the audience’s emotions surged.
‘Damn, that’s aweso, the Beggar King did it so generously.’
‘I wish I had friends like that; mine only owes five hundred, and has been dragging it out for three years without paying!’
‘Why do I sll a hint of ‘To the one who betrays , I’ll give three million’?
The Beggar King’s approach seems like performance art.
Is he setting up a persona?’
Zhao Hongjin looked at the comnts and then at Cheng Daqi.
She was a bit lost, unable to discern if Cheng Daqi was performing or being genuine.
Difficult to handle.
Sister Zhao shook her head, saying nothing else.
“Chan, no need!
I don’t want your money!”
Old Hanks’s response took everyone by surprise, the old Dixie boy’s tone even a bit forceful.
“I helped you without needing anything in return.
If I accept your repaynt, does it an that the next ti soone needs help, I have to first consider whether they will repay ?
Your action, although seemingly grateful, is actually incorrect.
Helping soone should be done with no expectation of repaynt.
If every helper in this society aims for monetary return, then the many who truly need help may never receive it.
I can’t articulate this logic very well, but I don’t want your money.”
Shock, everyone, including Cheng Daqi, fell into a secondary shock.
The old Dixie boy’s values were as correct as Fahai chanting mighty celestial dragons, and even Gru, a real-world scoundrel, was moved.
Zhao Hongjin’s eyes reflected contemplation; she discovered that Hanks’s thoughts were sowhat similar to the logic of ‘Zi Gong buying slaves’ freedom.’
No, they were exactly the sa.
Despite the sa underlying logic, the specific forms of expression were opposite.
After listening to Old Hanks, Cheng Daqi pondered for a mont, then replied.
“Mr.
Hanks, then please allow to return the hundred dollars I owe you.
Is that alright?”
Old Hanks nodded; that was acceptable.
“Chan, so what are you now?”
Seeing what Mr.
Hanks wanted to ask, Cheng Daqi smiled and began to introduce Temir.
“This is my girlfriend, Mi’er.
I can say that I’ve officially assimilated into Arica now, and all of this started with our eting.
Your small act of help at that ti truly changed my life.”
The wealthy lady with black hair hadn’t expected Cheng Daqi to say such words to such an unremarkable-looking old man.
She glanced at Old Hanks and nodded with a smile as a greeting.
—————–
After getting Old Hanks seated, Lisa began her dance performance, but all of this was no longer related to Cheng Daqi.
He was pulled by the wealthy lady with black hair to the living room on the second floor.
