50. The Nerd Who Never Gives Up

, no pop-up windows, fast updates, free!

After dealing with the matter in Xiahe Village, Xiao Chen took Nini back to the county town the next day and brought back 17 silver ingots, which was the harvest of Stonegraver No. 3 in recent times.

When Xiao Chen was not in Jiuwang factory, he would entrust the old master 6 to be responsible for the management of the factory. After all, the old master 6's qualifications and prestige are all here, and the people in the factory are very convinced by him.

However, Xiao Chen received news that the old master was hospitalized today. He put down what he was doing and rushed to the hospital to visit him immediately.

In the ward.

"It's just an old problem, high blood pressure!" Master 6 was lying on the hospital bed, sucking a little drip on the back of his hand, saying with a smile to Xiao Chen who came to visit him: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for coming to see me. Actually, there's nothing big about it. Just get a bottle of drip for a few days."

The old master 6's wife said calmly, "Hmph!" and turned her head to the side.

This is what the old master 6 told her in advance not to talk nonsense in front of Xiao Chen, otherwise she would definitely make a big fuss.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I have something I want to tell the old master 6 this time, but don't be too careful."

The old master 6 was silent for a moment. He probably knew what Xiao Chen wanted to say and nodded: "I understand what Mr. Xiao means, but I know my own body best. It's okay to work for another five or six years!" After that, he laughed and said, "Don't look at me as old as I am, I can still eat and drink. I'll have a few cups with Mr. Xiao another day!"

Xiao Chen understood the meaning of Master 6's words. He compared himself to the veteran general Lian Po of Zhao State. Although he was old, he could be used with great value.

Xiao Chen was very moved, but he had to consider the health of Master 6, so he thought of a compromise solution, asking Master 6 to recuperate first, and when the disease is cured, he could come back at any time.

"But I won't go back, who will make the wax boards decorated?" The old master 6 is the most concerned about. He can't delay factory production just because he is sick.

My wife snorted again and muttered: "You are so sick, who cares about you? I don't know who will reimburse the medical expenses!" After saying that, Xiao Chen looked at him.

Xiao Chen pretended not to hear it and comforted Master 6, saying, "Don't worry about this. I have found a suitable person. I will give him the design drawings and send them back to me after he has finished the wax board. I have seen the wax board he made, and it can barely compare to you."

The old master 6 was relieved after hearing this.

"This is my personal wish." Xiao Chen took out a thin yellow envelope from his briefcase and stuffed it under the pillow of Master 6. "Mr. 6 has paid so much for Jiuwang, I am very grateful to you!"

"Oh, Mr. Xiao is so polite. This is what I should do." Master 6 wanted to return the envelope, but Xiao Chen pressed it down with his hand.

"Then Master 6 is resting well, I'll leave first." Xiao Chen stood up and said goodbye. Master 6's wife also stood up. She was not seeing Xiao Chen off. She wanted to talk to Xiao Chen about the medical expenses of her old man.

"Come back for me!" Master 6 glared at him, and the old woman had to stop angrily and watch Xiao Chen walk out of the ward.

"Old man, why are you stopping me? You have worked so hard and done so much work for Jiuwang, didn't he even say anything?"

"Isn't it true that a big boss comes to see me?" Master 6 glared at his wife and said angrily: "I have worked in Jiuwang for decades, and that is my second home. What's wrong with doing something for the family? You have to do more!"

After a while, thinking that it was not easy for my wife to take care of her, Master 6 also eased his attitude and took out the envelope Xiao Chen gave him from under the pillow and handed it to his wife: "Okay, I'll listen to you for your well-being during this period of time. Give it, you can take this money."

My wife curled her lips, took the envelope, and muttered: "I knew it wouldn't cost more than 500 yuan. She's so stingy! You're still saying good things for him...ah?"

There was no money in the envelope, but there was a check and a note.

"Is this a check?" My wife was not very educated, but she still knew the check, but she didn't know how to use it. She counted the numbers on it: "Ten hundred and ten million...50,000? Old man, please take a look!" She was a little distrusted and hurriedly handed the check to the old master 6.

"Give me the note!" Master 6 didn't answer the check but asked for the note. After reading it, he sighed and pointed at his wife and scolded him: "You are just a judge of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Mr. Xiao has long considered the medical expenses! He said that he was stingy, and said that he was 500 yuan... See how much is this? 50,000 yuan! This time you still say that he was stingy? Humph!"

My wife had a look of shame on her face, but the check in her hand was tightly held.

...

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Chen's phone rang. When he saw the caller ID scratching his head, he was at a loss, but he answered the phone.

Tang Ying said angrily on the other end of the phone: "I won't call you, and you won't contact me, right?"

"Well, this isn't it, haven't you figured it out yet?"

"I didn't force you! As for being so scared?" Tang Ying was both angry and funny, "Forget it, I'll say you're free tomorrow morning?"

Xiao Chen thought about it and seemed that there was nothing to do tomorrow, so he said, "If you have time, do you have something to ask me for?"

"I bought three tickets to Shendong City Wildlife Park. Let's take Nini to see the animals tomorrow." Tang Ying said happily.

Xiao Chen couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to nod: "Okay."

When facing Tang Ying before, Xiao Chen was still very calm, but since Tang Ying's confession that day, he didn't know how to face this woman.

After thinking about it, Xiao Chen suddenly said, "Let's go out to play and don't bring Dapang and Guo Sheng... isn't that good? After all, they are all friends..." He wanted to find two light bulbs.

"What are you taking them for?" Tang Ying was puzzled, "We took the children to play, and the two big men don't like animals."

What she said was very natural, as if the couple took their children out to play.

OK, Xiao Chen didn't say anything anymore.

"Then we'll make a reservation. We'll take a bus to the zoo at 7 a.m. tomorrow and strive to come back before 2 p.m. so that I won't delay my opening." After that, Tang Ying hung up the phone.

"Zoo..." Xiao Chen stood there in a daze, "It seems that Nini has never been there. Well, I don't seem to have been there for many years, so it's good to go and have a look."

When Nini was out of school, Xiao Chen told Nini the news: "Nini, we will go to the zoo with Aunt Tang tomorrow to see animals."

"Okay!" Nini looked expectant, and she held Xiao Chen's hand and asked, "Is there a giant panda? Is there a giraffe? Is there an elephant?"

"Everyone is there." Xiao Chen said with a smile. When he looked up, he saw Zhuang Zhuang's father also came to pick up the child. The nerd became much haggard and lost weight all over. Xiao Chen heard that he was sent to a mental hospital because he insisted that he saw a giant. It seemed that he had been released.

I have to say that the nerd's spirit of "adhering to the truth" is really admirable.

Seeing Xiao Chen looking at him, the nerd looked at Xiao Chen with dissatisfaction and said, "What do you think I am mentally ill? I tell you that I will definitely find evidence of the existence of a giant! Even if I am poor, I will never give up!"

Xiao Chen: "..." Suddenly I felt like I had done something very cruel to the nerd.
