Chapter 4: The Beginning and the End (II)
"Keep the money. When it's cold, buy two more clothes for the elderly. ”
Tang Zhen was a little reluctant when he gave the money, but now it was different from the past, and he had no idea of going back.
"No, I have to give you the money back. Li Qingguo insisted.
In order not to give Tang Zhen a reason to refuse, he directly took out the cash of five hundred yuan and forcibly stuffed it to Tang Zhen.
"Put it away!"
Tang Zhen excused himself: "I really don't need to." Actually......"
An idea quickly popped into his mind, Tang Zhen had been feeling confused about his future since his mother's death, and now, he had found a new purpose in life.
"I'm a philanthropist, and although I'm embarrassed, I'm a philanthropist. ”
Of course, Tang Zhen's words were fake, but he could definitely do it, so he didn't have any psychological burden when he said these words.
"Really?" Li Qingguo was taken aback, although Tang Zhen was not badly dressed and could see that he was a rich man, but if he wanted to say that he was doing public welfare, he really couldn't feel it.
"Really. Tang Zhen smiled, in order to convince Li Qingguo, he made up a lie again: "Actually, I have been paying attention to the elderly for a while, and I found that she meets the conditions for assistance listed by my company. ”
His tone was sincere, and there was no hint of falsification. Li Qingguo immediately believed it, and said very excitedly: "There is still such a company in our city? Actually, I have long wanted to donate some money for those people who are not able to eat enough and sleep warmly, and you can take the 500 yuan! Gotta put it away!"
Li Qingguo grabbed Tang Zhen's wrist and slapped the money on his palm, Tang Zhen could feel his sincerity from the force he used.
"Received donation: 500, please be sure to use the money where it should be. ”
The voice of the system dispelled Tang Zhen's desire to refuse again, and the fortune on Li Qingguo's head also changed from "5" to "6", indicating that the five hundred yuan would help the next person in difficulty.
"Then I'll take it. Tang Zhen took the money in his pocket, thought about it, and took out his mobile phone, "Add a friend, I have the opportunity to invite you to participate in the public welfare activities organized by the company." ”
"Good!" Li Qingguo responded briskly.
After getting rid of Li Qingguo, the matter did not end there. The task of getting the beginning and the end right is still not completed, and he must find a way to solve the hidden danger between the old man and his grandson.
"Can you show me that one, uh......"
Li Qingguo answered: "His name is Li Rong, I'll take you there." ”
"Good. ”
Before seeing Li Rong, Li Qingguo first took Tang Zhen to see the old man. The accommodation for the elderly is poor, there is only one bed in a room of less than five square meters, and the rest of the space is occupied by cans and plastic bottles.
Under Li Qingguo's introduction, the old man said words of thanks several times with tears in his eyes, which touched the soft area of Tang Zhen's heart and strengthened his idea of wanting to do public welfare and charity.
Leaving the old man's room, he followed Li Qingguo upstairs.
The stairs are narrow and dark. There is no extra money at home to install a lamp.
Passing through a small hallway, there is a foul smell in the hallway, the source of which comes from the room at the end.
At this time, the door of the room was open, and you could see the garbage piled up at the door from a distance, which was real garbage, not bottles and cans downstairs.
Fast food boxes, paper towels, all kinds of packaging bags, it's hard to imagine how much courage it takes to live in such an environment.
Li Qingguo was also very angry when he saw this scene, if it was his own child, his ass would have been opened a long time ago.
Enter the room.
Li Rong sat in front of the computer, headphones on his head, fingers dancing on the keyboard.
Li Qingguo went up and took away his headphones, and without waiting for Li Rong to speak, he scolded with a slap on his face: "Look at you! The room is like a garbage heap, people in their twenties, and they don't even have a decent job until now, when your grandmother is picking up garbage outside, have you ever thought about her hard work?
"Fuck you. Instead of feeling ashamed, Li Rong scolded and said: "How fucking old are you? What do Lao Tzu do, and you still need to take care of it? If the old immortal likes to pick up garbage, let her pick it up! It's best to die outside! Save yourself from bothering Lao Tzu every day!"
"You!" Li Qingguo was furious, raised his hand, and wanted to slap Li Rong.
In fact, Tang Zhen, who was on the side, also wanted to beat him when he heard his words, but as Li Qingguo said before, this kind of person is no longer effective just fighting, and he has to think of another way.
"Calm down. Tang Zhen stopped Li Qingguo, and he said to Li Rong: "Let's talk?"
"Who are you?" Li Rong's words and deeds were full of disdain.
"Instead of asking who I am, ask who you are. You are a waste without mother's love and father's care, and any trash downstairs is more valuable than you. In that case, why do you still have a face alive?"
As soon as Tang Zhen's words came out, Li Rong was stunned for a moment, and even Li Qingguo couldn't help but look at him, not understanding what medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Immediately afterwards, Li Rong, who was annoyed and angry, got up from the chair with a "bang", his expression was hideous, and he couldn't wait to put his face on Tang Zhen's face.
"What did you say?!"
Tang Zhen did not retreat, looked at Li Rong with a relatively indifferent gaze, and said in a steady tone: "Tell me, what is the reason why you want to live?"
"Huh...... Heh......"
Li Rong stared at Tang Zhen's eyes, and the sound of heavy breathing showed the anger in his heart, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.
Seeing that a battle was about to break out, Li Qingguo hurriedly stepped in: "Give me calm." ”
He squeezed between the two, acting as a human wall to separate them.
"Can't tell?" Tang Zhen smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll tell you." ”
"You live because you want to live, not because someone forces you to live. Your grandmother raised you with hard work, and instead of being grateful, you also hope that she will die soon, so have you ever thought that you have no job, no education, and your only source of income is your grandmother who is disgusted by you, and once she dies, who will take care of you? At that time, will you go to the streets to beg, or do you do those things of stealing chickens and dogs? Is this the reason for your life?"
"When she dies, I'll die too. Li Rong didn't look over, he could tell that he still loved his grandmother deep down in his heart.
"Is that enough?" Tang Zhen questioned.
Li Rong turned his head back, looked at Tang Zhen with a strange expression, and said puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
"Haven't you thought about taking good care of her while she's alive? I can provide you with a job, and you will have a stable salary, what do you think?" Tang Zhen finally said his purpose.
Li Rong was stunned, and so was Li Qingguo.
Fortunately, Li Qingguo reacted first, slapped Li Rong on the back of the head, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and thank others?"
Li Rong hesitated and said, "Thank you, thank you." ”
"Give me the phone and I'll let you know when the time comes. Tang Zhen's great blueprint is still on paper, and now he can't directly arrange Li Rong to work in his father's company, and he doesn't know what Li Rong can do, and the biggest reason for accepting him is to complete the task of "starting and finishing well".
