Chapter 65: Repay kindness with a flood of gratitude
Compared with Tang Wan's loss of 10 billion, it doesn't matter. Now Bin Ye even needs to check how much money is left in his pocket when inviting someone to dinner.
Yang Bin still has 20 yuan left in his pocket, so he invited Zheng Ying to dinner and first had to muster up the courage to borrow another 200 yuan from Zheng Ying. Hmm, with this amount of money, they couldn't afford to dine at the Flowing Clouds Grand Hotel, so they could only order a few dishes at an ordinary restaurant near the Xingye Building.
That's right, Sun Piaoyun said that this money can be reimbursed with a proper invoice.
Bin Ye has finally become a member of the corrupt public fund consumption that people hate.
Although it can be reimbursed, but have to borrow money first to invite guests to dinner, really is not dignified... Fortunately, Zheng Jie is not an outsider, once the work at hand is sorted out, making money will become Yang Bin's top priority in life. Heroes are often short of breath because they don't have money.
Yang Bin and Zheng Ying were eating while talking, although Yang Bin didn't mention Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang's corruption, he told Zheng Ying that he had obtained enough evidence to make Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang bow their heads, which is why today's strange events occurred this morning.
Zheng Ying and the other outsiders had actually all guessed about eight or nine out of ten, but weren't clear how Yang Bin got their evidence. Of course, this point isn't easy to say.
The weather started to get sultry, and Yang Bin was eating and talking at the same time, feeling quite hot. He took off his thin jacket and hung it on the back of the chair, revealing the Tian Gou jade pendant hanging from his chest.
"Huh? This jade of yours is... Orange Crystal?" Zheng Ying reached out her hand in surprise and touched the pendant on Yang Bin's chest.
"Do you recognize this jade?" Yang Bin, although a native of Yunfeng City, didn't know much about Yunfeng jade. Playing with jade was a hobby for the rich, what could poor people like him play with?
"With such a large orange crystal, and it can be made into a shape, at least it's worth 150,000 to 160,000 yuan?" Zheng Ying carefully identified it and then said to Yang Bin, her expression turned somewhat strange.
Yang Bin is so poor that he can't even afford a meal, how can he wear such an expensive jade? Besides, this isn't his style.
"So expensive!?" Yang Bin was shocked, he had thought that this would be at most a few thousand yuan.
Yesterday he even considered pawning this jade for a thousand or so bucks to exchange for food money... Fortunately, he didn't pawn it, otherwise if someone swapped it with him and he couldn't tell, he would have suffered a big loss.
"My old dad and mom ran a jade store, I've known jade since I was young, one touch and I knew this jade is real." Zheng Ying nodded very affirmatively towards Yang Bin, but didn't ask further about the origin of the jade.
Yang Bin shook his head. He knew this jade was expensive and shouldn't have worn it himself. 150,000 or 160,000? Dai Hongfei, you're really generous when using public funds to flirt with girls!
After finishing the meal, Yang Bin was about to pay the bill, but Zheng Ying had just pretended to go get some napkins and paid for it instead. She handed him the receipt and said that he could reimburse her later. The 200 yuan she borrowed earlier would be used temporarily until her salary bonus arrived, at which point she would return it. In this public setting, Yang Bin didn't want to argue with her either. Since he was always borrowing from her anyway, he might as well just add it to the account and pay her back all at once when he had money.
Her kindness to him was deeply etched in his heart, and this drop of water must be repaid with a gushing spring.
……
In the morning, Yang Bin had sorted out all the work that everyone in Project Group 3 was following up on. In the afternoon, all the outsiders were busy with their own things and didn't need him to worry too much.
Yang Bin was considering whether to go see the customer to pull investment or do something else, but he soon determined that one thing was now the most important... First, find a place to do a few good deeds to supplement the merit points in the mobile phone, and then think of a suitable way to make a fortune.
Just as Yang Bin was about to go out onto the streets to find something good to do to make up for his merit points, he suddenly remembered another extremely important matter that he had almost forgotten.
Go to People's Hospital to visit Director Dai!
Has his surgery been done? I just knew about his hospitalization yesterday, and now I haven't gone to visit him yet, which seems a bit not good, right?
If it weren't for Director Dai, he would still be an outsider! Moreover, his scolding of Sun Piaoyun and Qin Liang at the Zhaoshang Bureau meeting also helped Yang Bin vent his anger.
A person who knows how to repay kindness, even if it's just a drop of water, may not be able to return a gushing spring immediately, but they must never forget.
After thinking about it, Yang Bin rushed to the bus station and got off at the People's Hospital stop. He then took out the money he borrowed from Zheng Ying and bought a watermelon flower blue in a small street shop. Hurriedly, he walked towards the hospital room where Director Dai was hospitalized, which Sun Piao Yun had told him about yesterday.
Yang Bin, who was rushing to the hospital building where the ward was located with his head down, almost bumped into an old lady standing in the middle of the road when he turned a corner, but fortunately he stopped in time and supported the old lady.
The old lady was dressed very neatly and looked very blessed, but her expression seemed a bit silly.
"Don't stand here, it's very dangerous." Yang Bin supported the old lady and led her to the side of the road.
Luckily he reacted quickly and stepped back in time, otherwise with his size he would have knocked the old lady down and she would have definitely fractured a bone.
"The inpatient department...the inpatient department..." The old lady grasped Yang Bin's arm and muttered a few sentences to him.
"This is all the inpatient department, Grandma, which building are you looking for?" Yang Bin asked the old lady.
"The inpatient department... Little Swallow... Little Swallow..." The old lady still tightly grasped Yang Bin, her eyes fixed on the fruit basket in his hand, especially the biggest and reddest apple at the top.
Yang Bin seemed to have figured it out, this old lady was probably suffering from senile dementia and now she had gotten lost for no reason.
"Whose old granny is this?" Yang Bin yelled loudly several times towards the surroundings.
Apart from a few passersby who glanced over, no one claimed this old lady.
"Grandma, want an apple?" Yang Bin took out the big red apple from the fruit basket, wiped it with his hand and handed it to Grandma.
The old lady probably got thirsty, took an apple with one hand and started gnawing on it... At such a big age, her teeth are still quite good... The other hand held Yang Bin even tighter, as if she was afraid he would run away.
Yang Bin was secretly cursing... This is troublesome... Whose old granny is this? How could they let her wander around alone on the road?
"Grandma, what's your mobile phone number?" Yang Bin took out his mobile phone and asked the old lady.
"Cell phone... swallow... has cell phone... swallow..." The old lady replied to Yang Bin while gnawing on an apple.
"Do you know Little Swallow's cell phone number?" Yang Bin asked the old lady.
"Little swallow... little swallow..." The old lady's mind was obviously somewhat confused.
"Little swallow! Little swallow!" Yang Bin shouted again in a loud voice, but there was no response.
Yang Bin stopped shouting, if he continued like this, he was afraid that these passersby would take him for the Fifth Prince or a madman.
"Grandma, why don't you follow me and I'll help you find Little Swallow together?" Yang Bin had no choice but to let the old lady hold onto him first, and then ask the doctors and nurses inside the hospital building if anyone knew her.
"Little swallow... little swallow..." The old lady, however, refused to budge, gnawing on an apple while still tightly grasping Yang Bin's hand and smiling at him as if he were the little swallow.
"I'm not even handsome, why are you looking at me like that, grandma?" Yang Bin was on the verge of tears, unable to take it anymore, yet unable to leave.
"Great... great..." The old lady was smiling and praising Yang Bin this time.
Yang Bin was really helpless... Suddenly thought of it... Right, call 110, let the police handle this kind of thing.
Just as Yang Bin was about to call 110, a girl wearing a red plaid shirt and jeans ran over from afar, shouting "Niangniang" (grandma) while running towards them. After apologizing and thanking Yang Bin, she pulled the old lady's hand away from Yang Bin's arm.
The girl looked like she was eighteen or nineteen years old. Judging from her clothes and demeanor, she should be the daughter of a wealthy family. She had a good figure and was quite pretty. When she spoke, her expression was slightly shy. She must have been the 'Little Swallow' mentioned by the old lady.
