Chapter 39: Is This Reason Enough?

"Anna is a good girl, but she didn't choose to go to school. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "Mrs. Martin was very kind, and her eyes fell on Zheng Qing's body.

"Hello, Mrs. Martin, I'm Zheng, Zheng from China." Zheng Qing smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello, Zheng." Mrs. Martin reached out and shook Zheng Qing, but quickly let go, "I have long heard that a Chinese has come to the town and plans to open a restaurant in the town, is that you?" ā€

"It's me, Mrs. Martin, who welcomes you to my hotel."

Zheng Qing sent out an invitation.

Although she knew in her heart that her food, at least in the early days, would definitely be taken by the FBI, Mrs. Martin would not be able to eat anything even if she went.

Mrs. Martin was very polite, "I will go when I have the chance, Zheng, I have heard of the name of Chinese food for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to taste it." ā€

This is kind words, Zheng Qingcai will not take it seriously.

Instead, Anna soon sat down beside Mrs. Martin and talked to her.

From this conversation, Zheng Qing realized that the reason why Mrs. Martin and Emily came to Mr. Banksy's house was also to raise money.

Three months later, the city of Columbus was going to hold a ballet competition, and Emily proposed that her students participate.

The school does not have a special ballet stage, which seriously affects the training of students. The town had no money to spare, so it went to Mr. Banksy's house in the hope of raising some money to renovate a special stage for ballet.

The total amount of funds is about 20,000 yuan.

When she heard Anna mention that Zheng Qing was also going to ask Mr. Banks to raise a batch of funds, and there were 200,000 yuan, Mrs. Martin couldn't help but be surprised and looked at Zheng Qing in disbelief.

Even Emily, who was indifferent, looked at Zheng Qing with the same gaze when she heard these words.

Obviously, in the eyes of these two people, Zheng Qing, a Chinese, had just arrived in Chunmu Town, and when he was unfamiliar with life, he wanted to raise 200,000 US dollars from Mr. Banks's hands, which was simply a dream.

And the two have the same idea, that is, Zheng Qing will definitely fail.

However, Zheng Qing obviously didn't mean to explain this, but just spread his hands at the two of them very casually, indicating that what Anna said was right, and there was indeed such a thing.

He did want to get 200,000 from Mr. Banks, but there was really nothing to say.

In his opinion, taking two hundred thousand dollars from Banksy is just a trifle, and a very small, very insignificant trifle, and it is not worth bragging about at all.

There was a look of pity on Mrs. Martin's face. Emily looked even more strange, she was already waiting to see Zheng Qing's jokes.

Anna continued to speak with Mrs. Martin.

Waves of people in the living room entered the reception room to see Mr. Banksy.

But no one has ever been able to stay in the reception room for more than ten minutes. Within ten minutes, I came out of the reception room.

Some rejoice, others are worried. Some people succeed in getting donations, others fail.

Soon it was Emily and Mrs. Martin's turn, and Emily rose from her seat first, looking at Mrs. Martin blankly.

"Anna, we'll see you later." Mrs. Martin stood up, "Goodbye, Zheng." ā€

"Goodbye, Mrs. Martin, I wish you success." Anna said words of blessing.

"I wish you success, Mrs. Martin." Zheng Qing said the same kind words, but added one more sentence, "I wish you success, Emily." ā€

But Emily was obviously not used to such a greeting, and when she heard this, although her back was facing Zheng Qing, everyone could see that her back lines were as beautiful as a picture, and she stiffened for no reason.

That reaction, like a bug burrowing into the bone marrow, made her very uncomfortable.

In the end, Zheng Qing did not respond, and walked into the reception room first, and Mrs. Martin quickly followed.

"Zheng, are you really sure?" Anna was a little worried.

When talking about Zheng Qing's fundraising just now, she saw the unoptimistic expressions of Emily and Mrs. Martin, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart.

"You're too careful, Anna." Zheng Qing looked casual.

……

Within ten minutes, Mrs. Martin and Emily were both out of the reception room. From the frustrated performance of the two, it can be seen that the two failed to fundraise this time.

"How? Emily, did you get the money? Zheng Qing asked deliberately, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. For some reason, he just likes to see Emily embarrassed.

I guessed that maybe it was because of Anne that I regarded Emily as a rival in love, subconsciously jealous of her, and tried my best to make her ugly.

"Do you think you're going to make it?" Emily snorted and used rhetorical questions to answer Zheng Qing's words.

"Haha!" Zheng Qing smiled and stood up, "I never do things that I am not sure of, Emily. Since I'm already planning to do it, I'm sure I'll succeed. ā€

Emily: "?!?!? ā€

"I wish you success, Zheng." Mrs. Martin wanted to leave, she didn't believe that Zheng Qing could get 200,000, and she was not interested in staying and watching.

He urged, "Emily, let's go." ā€

Emily was reluctant to leave, her eyes staring at Zheng Qing.

This chick is not an ordinary indifference. More often than not, she actually does it, so much so that she rarely says it.

Looking at this posture, she planned to stay and wait to see Zheng Qing's jokes, because Zheng Qing's words just now angered her.

"Want to stay?" Zheng Qing felt a little smug in his heart, "Then sit here and wait." Within five minutes, I was out of Banks' reception room. ā€

"Oh! I forgot to mention that with a check for two hundred thousand, maybe more. ā€

Emily really couldn't be stimulated, and she didn't plan to leave in the first place.

Now he didn't leave, he sat down directly in his original seat, and made up his mind to wait for Zheng Qing to come out.

"Alas!" Mrs. Martin obviously couldn't do anything about her own employee, and when she saw Emily sit down, she knew that she couldn't persuade her, and sighed, "In that case, Emily, I'll go back first." ā€

"All right, Mrs. Martin, you go first. I'll be back soon, no more than ...... Five minutes. Emily responded, her eyes fixed in the direction of the reception room.

"Alas!" Sighing again, Mrs. Martin was gone.

……

Mr. Banksy was in his forties, in a wheelchair, in a white pajamas with black stripes.

Because of ALS, his whole body shrunk into a wheelchair.

Seeing Zheng Qing and Anna coming in, he just raised his finger slightly and motioned for Zheng Qing and Anna to sit down on the chair opposite him.

He speaks slowly, making the listener anxious, "Oh! An Asian, you must be the new Chinese. ā€

His eyes fell on Anna, and a hint of surprise shot out of his eyes, "And Deputy Sheriff Anna, I heard that because of the pressure exerted by the FBI, the mayor of the town had to fund the purchase of a restaurant and a house by this Chinese, and for this only to reduce the salary and benefits of the police." ā€

"But, Deputy Sergeant Anna, why are you still walking with this Chinese? He took your money, don't you care? ā€

This guy is so well-informed, he even knows what the mayor has done so quickly.

Anna responded: "Zheng has decided to compensate the town, and will return the same amount of money to the town in the form of donations." ā€

"And such a thing?" Mr. Banks was amazed.

However, he did not continue to ask, so he said, "Tell me, what is the purpose of you coming to me?" ā€

"My time is running out, and in the last limited time of my life, I only plan to do as much good as possible, useful good deeds."

"But even if you want to get money from me, at least come up with a reason that will impress me."

When he said this, his eyes fell on Zheng Qing.

He had already seen that Zheng Qing and Anna came to him, and it was Zheng Qing who led it.

"Alright, Mr. Banks." Zheng Qing was not in a hurry, and smiled slightly, "Since this is the case, I will say it directly." ā€

"Originally, I was planning to decorate my house at home at this time. However, for Anna's sake, I decided to compensate the town for its contributions. ā€

"However, when I first arrived, I had no money of my own, but fortunately I heard about you from Anna's mouth."

"So I had to spare half an hour to come to you. I hope to be able to leave with a check for 200,000 in my hand. ā€

As soon as she said this, Anna was stunned, and so was Mr. Banks.

No one thought that Zheng Qing would say the words of taking money in this way.

Even Anna, who was repeatedly reminded by Zheng Qing, felt that when Zheng Qing faced Mr. Banksy, he must have said all the good things, hoping that the other party could give him a little charity and take out 200,000 US dollars.

However, who expected that Zheng Qing's statement was like Mr. Banks owed him money, and he was ready to pay it back at any time. And he himself just came over and took the money away.

Mr. Banks was stunned for a long time, and soon smiled, "Hehe! Very interesting young man. ā€

"So you want to take the money from me and return it to the town."

"But if you want to take money from me, you have to give me a reasonable reason, right?"

"Why should I give you money if there is no reasonable reason?"

"Two hundred thousand dollars, that's not a small amount, is it?"

Zheng Qing said casually, "I'm sorry, Mr. Banks. It used to be 200,000, but now it's 250,000. ā€

"Because it occurred to me that Anna had come with me. For such a beautiful girl (Zheng Qing glanced at Anna, and Anna looked at the joy of being praised), don't you think that even if it is just for this cute little face, it is worth adding an extra 50,000 dollars? ā€

"So, I'm sorry, I temporarily added fifty thousand to the total amount of this money. The 50,000 yuan is not for me, but as the money that Anna raised from you. ā€

"Zheng." Anna wanted to tell Zheng Qing that she didn't need it.

Zheng Qing didn't look at him.

Mr. Banksy's face sank, and he felt that Zheng Qing was very arrogant, "Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, for me, is still nothing, but what is the reason?" ā€

"Chinese, please give me a reason."

"Because I can heal you." Zheng Qing spread his hands and said lightly: "Mr. Banks, is this reason enough?" ā€
