Chapter 98: Chapter 90: Follow me (Please recommend!)"_1
"I am indeed thinking about this." Tang Qing nodded in acknowledgment.
"You... alright, I will call him over, and you can talk to him." Han Leng halted his words halfway.
He intended to ask what kind of job it was.
However, this might involve Tang Qing’s privacy, which might make Tang Qing think that he didn’t trust him. He decided not to meddle into it yet and called Sun Chao over first.
He will oversee the situation from the side.
With the current complex situation, given that Sun Chao owed Tang Qing a favor of astronomical proportions, even if there might be dangers or activities against the law involved in the work, Han Leng estimated that Sun Chao would not refuse.
Sigh...
This really was the predicament of being tied to the hand that feeds you, and having a soft spot for the mouth that feeds you.
Han Leng sighed internally.
He could only hope that Tang Qing would not harm Sun Chao.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to do much either. After receiving such a huge favor, given Sun Chao’s character, as long as it doesn’t betray his own bottom line, he knew that Sun Chao would definitely accept the job.
"Should we call him over right now? His mother just finished her surgery." Tang Qing said with a frown.
Although from a logical point of view, with both doctors and nurses present, Sun Chao coming here wouldn’t have any impact, how could his mother not be able to handle being alone for a while right after coming out of surgery?
But emotionally, his mother has just recovered from her illness.
It is also correct that she needs her son to accompany her at all times.
Tang Qing really couldn’t distinguish which line of thinking was right or wrong for a moment, both of them had convincing reasons behind them.
"It’s fine, there are doctors watching her carefully and dedicated nurses to accompany her at all times, there’s a TV there too, his mother would be satisfied as long as she can watch Huangmei Opera." Han Leng said with a smile, he wasn’t thinking about the situation as complexly as Tang Qing.
After finishing his sentence, Han Leng immediately called Sun Chao in their presence. As soon as Sun Chao heard that Tang Qing was here waiting for him, he started to rush over immediately.
Within fifteen minutes.
Sun Chao arrived at the store.
At this time, Sun Chao was still wearing the same clothes. Although Tang Qing asked him to tidy up, Sun Chao was obviously very economical and did not buy new clothes. He just washed the ones he had and styled his hair into a neat buzzcut.
At this moment, Tang Qing and the rest hadn’t finished eating, Han Leng was drinking beer, Tang Qing was drinking a beverage. In his current life, he didn’t have any worries to drown, and apart from necessary occasions, he didn’t like seeking thrills by smoking or drinking.
The most important point was, was there anything more exciting than being reborn?
"Brother Han, Sister-in-law." After Sun Chao greeted Han Leng and his wife, he sincerely said to Tang Qing, "Little Tang, thank you."
Seeing Sun Chao now, with his capable demeanor.
His vitality and spirit was completely different from the last time they met, and Tang Qing couldn’t help but feel admiring. He was indeed a soldier trained by the state, his overall quality was really good, especially the faint killing intent radiated from Sun Chao.
Through several battles and familiarity with Han Leng.
Tang Qing’s recognition of this killing aura.
His perception of it was getting sharper and sharper. He also understood that this far from being a kind of aura, but a sense naturally exuded from one’s overall view of life, after it gets elevated.
Just like a mass murderer.
In their eyes, there wasn’t much difference between a living person and a dead one, other than one could move, and the other couldn’t. The specifics were reflected in their disregard for life in their eyes and the elevation of their views on life in their expressions.
"Brother Sun, have a seat. It was just a small act of kindness after all. How is your mother’s health now?" Tang Qing pointed at the empty seat next to him and laughed.
At this point, Han Leng’s wife had already prepared a new set of bowls and chopsticks, placed them where the man with glasses had sat, and handed Sun Chao a beer.
"She’s recovering very well. She had surgery a few days ago and it was very successful. The doctor said she can be discharged by the end of the month." Sun Chao said as he sat down.
"Hmm, that’s good. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Tang Qing nodded and said.
" None at all, thank you so much, really." Sun Chao thanked him once again.
"Stop saying thank you. If you thank me again, I will be angry. By the way, Brother Sun, what are your future plans?" Tang Qing asked again.
"I... I plan to find a job in the city to earn money properly. There’s not much money to be made in the village. When the time comes, I will leave my mother here to be looked after," Sun Chao said, thinking about the hundreds of thousands in debt he was carrying, Sun Chao felt a massive headache.
Of course, he didn’t regret it.
For his only relative, he was willing to owe even more money. Returning to the village was definitely out of the question right now, there were also not many opportunities in the county, and the wages were ridiculously low, so he could only try his luck in the city.
"In that case, I have a job, I don’t know if you want to try." Tang Qing casually stated his purpose.
"I will. Whatever work you ask me to do, I will do it." Sun Chao said without a second thought.
"Uh, Brother Sun, aren’t you afraid that I’m a bad person?"
Tang Qing was surprised by Sun Chao’s straightforwardness, he just agreed without asking any questions.
"I trust you." Sun Chao looked at Tang Qing and said seriously. This was his heartfelt thoughts, often times, no matter how well a person hides it, they couldn’t deceive some people.
And Sun Chao had such an ability.
These kinds of people don’t care what you’ve done or what you’ve said. Even if you are an articulate talker or an exceptional actor, they can see the essence of a person at a glance.
They rely on their innate feelings.
And Sun Chao absolutely believes in his own intuition. He has never misjudged anyone in his life and he has never shared his gift for gauging people. He truly believes that Tang Qing is not a bad person.
Han Leng was also taken aback by Sun Chao’s trust.
He didn’t know about Sun Chao’s ability to judge character. He only knew that Sun Chao’s words were not just about repaying a debt of gratitude. It was real trust, but he couldn’t comprehend where this trust stemmed from.
"All right, I do happen to need a bodyguard and a driver," says Tang Qing in satisfaction.
Feeling recognized and trusted was very gratifying for him and he couldn’t help but swell with pride.
"A driver?" Sun Chao said quizzically. He hadn’t expected this. He thought Tang Qing wanted to help him find a job, not become Tang Qing’s driver. Why would a student like Tang Qing need a driver?
On top of that, Tang Qing didn’t even own a car. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe that Tang Qing could afford one, he was just struggling to connect the dots.
"Bodyguard?" Han Leng said in surprise. Concerned about Tang Qing needing a bodyguard given his existing capabilities. With such an off the charts level of martial prowess, it would arguably take both him and Sun Chao to stand against Tang Qing.
"Yes, you know my money didn’t come from home. I earned it myself. I’ve opened a company. You can start off there. Normally, there won’t be much work. If there’s anything important, I’ll find you," Tang Qing disclosed some of his information.
"I accept, thank you, Little Tang... oh no, Boss Tang," Sun Chao said. The job was legitimate, and he liked it. Plus, he was happy to protect Tang Qing. He thought to himself that he must protect Tang Qing from harm at all costs.
However, if he knew Tang Qing’s actual capability, he might not be as enthusiastic. At that time, you never know who would need to protect whom.
"Haha, boss what? Just call me Little Tang, calling me ’boss’ makes us seem distant," Tang Qing laughed heartily. Finally, he found someone who could be considered a future confidant. He felt a little bit excited.
Just like Liu Qian had Gangzi and Monkey, he finally had a bodyguard.
"Alright then," Sun Chao agreed. Since Tang Qing objected to being distant, he wouldn’t argue the point.
But the proper respect needed to be there.
Calling him Little Tang now was on a personal level.
Once they started working for Tang Qing, continually calling him Little Tang would be inappropriate.
However, they could change the way they addressed him later on.
"So, in the afternoon, you can accompany me to buy a car and take care of a few things. Tomorrow, you can go to my company to process your onboarding procedure."
"Your main job right now is to accompany your mother. I’m still in school, so there won’t be much work. In the future, you can rent a place outside to take care of your mother. The company will reimburse your accommodation expenses," Tang Qing said.
With the availability of Euros now.
He no longer had to think about saving money. Several million RMB was a drop in the bucket, not very useful. Thinking about the crazy speed of making money in the future, Tang Qing felt a rush of excitement.
Oh my...
This time he had to buy a good car.
Of course.
He was not interested in sports cars, he preferred SUVs or sedans. In his previous life, he’d driven Li Kai’s Lamborghini sports car which made him feel unbearable. He felt awful sitting inside it.
It was very oppressive.
Since then, he had no love for sports cars.
"Thank you," Sun Chao said gratefully. Even though Tang Qing didn’t say how much his salary would be, he would have been embarrassed to ask for it. Besides, he believed that Tang Qing would definitely not mistreat him.
"What are you thanking me for? Mister Han, I’m hoping you can keep my secret. My uncle does not know about my company. He thinks I just own shares in a restaurant," Tang Qing turned to Han Leng and said.
"Don’t worry, I’ll keep your secret," Han Leng promised.
At the same time, he could only silently apologize to Qin Yugang. Now, he was completely on Tang Qing’s side.
"Okay," said Tang Qing.
After that, they just ate dinner and drank wine. Because they had to drive and handle matters in the afternoon, they knew that Sun Chao could hold his liquor. However, after toasting Tang Qing, he didn’t drink any more.
After this lunch feast.
It was already around 1:40 pm.
Thinking that the car dealership should be opened by now for the start of the afternoon shift, Tang Qing took Sun Chao and left to buy a car, then they planned to go to Zhou Li’s factory to get money.
This sequence of events felt off to Tang Qing.
He had become...
A debt collector.
Tang Qing felt like he was becoming a villain.
But hey, I’m the protagonist here, right?
