Chapter 4

After leaving Chen Wanqing's beauty salon, Gu Fan felt energized all over.

Although the information revealed by Huang Lelè and Chen Wanqing suggested that this girl named Chen Jiaxin had a bad temper, was a bit introverted, and most importantly, did not like studying.

There was also a hidden point, which was her dislike of interacting with strangers.

The text message Huang Lelè sent to Gu Fan confirmed this. Huang Lelè had to go through a lot of effort to gain Chen Jiaxin's approval when he first became her tutor.

Even after gaining her approval, Chen Jiaxin mostly went through the motions, and there was no real enthusiasm for learning, so her grades never improved.

However, Chen Wanqing, knowing her daughter's situation, did not blame Huang Lelè for the lack of improvement in her grades.

From this, Gu Fan quickly identified a key point: because it was a single-parent family and Chen Wanqing was very busy with work, she had little time to spend with Chen Jiaxin. This so-called tutoring had a bit of a playmate aspect to it.

Liking to study was secondary; the most important thing was to break Chen Jiaxin's introverted personality.

Gu Fan became even more motivated. If he could achieve this, with Chen Wanqing's generosity, his income would definitely increase. Then, tuition would no longer be a problem, nor would rent, and he could even get a new smartphone. It was already the era of smartphones, and Gu Fan still had a flip phone; he should experience the information age of the smart era.

"First, I'll go to the construction site to move my belongings. I can't work there anymore. But I must get the wages for these six and a half days." Gu Fan had less than ten yuan in his pocket, which was pitiful.

Back at the construction site, looking at the towering buildings and the busy crowd, Gu Fan felt a sense of reflection. Just this morning, he was still working here.

"Every penny I earned, I earned with a clear conscience!" Gu Fan muttered softly. He didn't care about the hard work; what he cared about was the process. Experiencing the difficulties of ordinary people and keeping his mindset grounded were essential to maintaining a normal heart.

Gu Fan found the foreman and explained his purpose.

"Wait until after work!" The foreman waved his hand, telling Gu Fan to wait.

"Boss, I'm in a hurry. Can you make an exception?" Gu Fan had his first tutoring session in the evening, and waiting until after work would make it too late.

"Are you blind? Don't you see I'm busy?" The foreman glared at Gu Fan.

"Busy drinking tea?" Gu Fan's eyes turned cold.

"Kid, let me be honest. For temporary workers like you, if you don't work for a month, you don't get paid. If you don't want to work anymore and have a new job, I won't interfere. Just take your things and leave. As for the money, you won't get a cent!" The foreman put down his teacup and said disdainfully, "Providing you with food and shelter is already very generous. If you only work for a few days and want money, would there be anyone left to work on the construction site?"

Gu Fan's veins bulged. From a young age, he had never encountered such an unreasonable person. As a child, he traveled with his master, and later he was confined to school, then he practiced day and night. He had never met a scoundrel like the foreman.

Taking a deep breath!

Dealing with this foreman was simple. But if he really took such a method, it would lose its value as a test. This feeling of anger was also an essential element in the path of mental improvement.

"Boss, when I came in, we agreed that I would be paid for the days I worked. How can you change so quickly?" Gu Fan said, "I believe there are many people like me on this construction site. If I go outside and shout, you'll have some trouble, right? Is it worth it for my six and a half days' wages?"

Violence was not the only way to solve problems. Saying these words, Gu Fan felt a lot of emotion, and his mental state seemed to have improved slightly.

"Threatening me? You're quite something, kid. Go ahead, go outside and shout. I'll see how you can cause me trouble!" The foreman had a look of defiance.

"Then watch this!" Gu Fan immediately turned, opened the door, and was about to shout.

"Stop!" The foreman quickly said. He was just testing Gu Fan and wouldn't allow him to really do it.

Gu Fan looked at the foreman, a mocking smile flashing across his face.

Everyone has a weakness. As long as you grasp it, anything can be easily handled.

"Five days, not six. Fifty yuan a day, a total of two hundred and fifty yuan. Take it or leave it." The foreman threw out two hundred and fifty yuan.

"Agreed, it was sixty yuan a day, and I worked for six and a half days. Why are you only giving me five days? But... never mind. I hope you can live more comfortably with the money you've embezzled from me!" Gu Fan took two hundred yuan, pinched the fifty, and threw it back to the foreman, saying disdainfully, "Here, a little reward for you."

Gu Fan left gracefully, while the foreman was fuming.

But looking at the fifty yuan in front of him, the foreman smiled.

"Let you have a little verbal victory, but I'll take this extra money!" He muttered and put the fifty yuan away.

What he didn't notice was that a subtle spiritual force accompanied the fifty-yuan note as it entered his body.

As soon as he put the money away, he felt a cramp in his stomach and quickly ran to the toilet. According to some observations, the foreman would leave the toilet and return, occupying it for five hours, and he was said to be unrecognizable.

Embezzling Gu Fan's rightful money, the foreman deserved this.

Gu Fan wasn't a pedantic person. He shouldn't bully ordinary people, but this ordinary person was a different story. A little punishment was necessary for some people.

When he arrived at the dormitory, no one was inside, which made it convenient for Gu Fan to pack up.

As for the people here, although most were simple, Gu Fan had been in contact with them for too short a time, and most were much older than him, so they had no common topics and didn't communicate much, let alone become friends. This made it easy for Gu Fan to leave.

However, as Gu Fan was about to leave the dormitory, he suddenly heard a noisy commotion. He could vaguely hear something about "Grandpa Wang fainting," "send him to the hospital," "don't move him," and so on. A large crowd had gathered.

Gu Fan quickly walked over. Saving lives and helping the injured was the duty of a divine doctor. Ignoring someone in need was a great taboo for a divine doctor. The word "doctor" encompassed so much.

However, when Gu Fan squeezed in and saw two people in white coats working, he paused and turned to leave.

Since there were doctors present, Gu Fan didn't need to intervene.

But suddenly, the jade pendant around his neck warmed slightly, and Gu Fan immediately stopped, focusing his attention.

Soon, Gu Fan found the source of the reaction. It was an old man who was being treated.

Gu Fan was excited. His master had instructed him to find the jade pendant, which was his main task in the world. Now that he had a lead, his emotions were naturally very agitated.

"Danger!" But at this moment, Gu Fan couldn't afford to be happy. The old man was in a critical condition, and if he wasn't treated soon, it would be too late.

"Chenglong, Yuyan, I'm sorry... We've done our best!" The two doctors in white coats said with a bitter smile.

"It can't be! Uncle Lin, Uncle Zhu, didn't you say Grandpa should be fine? That he should be able to complete the inspection? How could this happen!" Wang Yuyan was emotionally agitated, her eyes red, and tears streaming down her face.

The man in his thirties beside her, who looked dignified, was also sad, but he seemed to have expected this day, and his emotions were relatively stable.

"Little sister, don't be like this, Grandpa..." Wang Chenglong tightly held Wang Yuyan's hand, comforting her.

"Brother!" Wang Yuyan threw herself into Wang Chenglong's arms, crying uncontrollably, which made the onlookers sigh.

"Let me take a look. There might still be a chance." At this moment, a sudden voice rang out, and it was Gu Fan.

One sentence drew the attention of everyone present.

Wang Chenglong looked at Gu Fan, his eyes sharp like a knife, as if trying to pierce through him.

Wang Yuyan frowned slightly, but through her tear-filled eyes, there was an irrational hope.

As for the two doctors, Lin Bibo and Zhu Bibo, they sized up Gu Fan and blocked his path.

"You say there's still a chance?" Lin Xuetang looked at Gu Fan, a hint of anger flashing across his face.

No one had ever overturned his diagnosis. Now, a young man was challenging him, and his mood was naturally terrible.

Moreover, he and Grandpa Wang had a good relationship, and he wouldn't have come to personally attend to him if he didn't. If there were any other options, he wouldn't have said those words.

And now...

"I say there's still a chance!" Gu Fan's expression was calm, and he didn't back down, looking at Lin Xuetang.

Lin Xuetang was about to lose his temper but was held back by his friend Zhu Shengshou.

"Kid, are you a medical student?" Zhu Shengshou asked.

"Various bodily functions are deteriorating, myocardial infarction, insufficient blood supply to the heart. Now, the myocardial infarction has erupted, and the heart's blood supply is cut off." Gu Fan said solemnly.

Zhu Shengshou's eyes lit up, and Lin Xuetang was full of doubt.

Identifying the root cause with just one glance was truly impressive.

"Kid..." Zhu Shengshou wanted to ask more.

"If we delay any longer, even a god can't save him!" Gu Fan looked at Wang Chenglong and said, "It's already like this. Give me a chance, and I'll give you a glimmer of hope!"

"You come!" Wang Chenglong hesitated for less than three seconds, his eyes flashing with determination, and he said in a deep voice.

At the same time, his eyes became even sharper, clearly telling Gu Fan that if he couldn't save him, he would make him pay. His grandfather couldn't be anyone's guinea pig!
