Chapter 9

"Mom!"

As soon as he arrived at the county hospital, he saw several people rushing over. A woman screamed and lunged toward the stretcher.

A few other men and women also turned their attention to Wang Jincái.

Wang Jincái stood there, looking at these people. It was clear that this family was well-off. Seeing this, Wang Jincái felt somewhat relieved. His own family was just average, so even if the other party wanted to take advantage of him, they couldn't get much.

At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward and shook Wang Jincái's hand, saying, "We understand the situation. Thank you very much!"

Hearing this, Wang Jincái finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there were still good people in the world.

"It's what I should do. Let's get the old lady treated first."

It was obvious that this family had considerable influence. Doctors were already waiting, and they immediately took the old lady inside.

Watching the people move inside, Wang Jincái realized that there was nothing more he could do.

Seeing that he couldn't help further, Wang Jincái said to the middle-aged man who had shaken his hand, "My name is Wang Jincái. I work at Huashan Hydropower Station. I'll leave my phone number with you. If there's anything, just call me."

As he spoke, he took out his ID card for the middle-aged man to see and borrowed a pen to write down his phone number, which he then handed over.

The middle-aged man looked at Wang Jincái, said nothing, took the phone number, and nodded slightly, saying, "Thank you for your trouble today. We'll thank you again when the old lady is better."

He then turned to a young man behind him and said, "Give Wang Jincái ten thousand yuan."

The young man took a stack of money from his bag and handed it to Wang Jincái.

Seeing the ten thousand yuan being handed over, Wang Jincái quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, it didn't cost much."

The middle-aged man took the money and placed it in Wang Jincái's hand, saying, "You've already paid quite a bit. This is a token of our appreciation."

Seeing that the other party insisted, Wang Jincái took a few bills from the stack and said, "Let's do it this way. I'll just take back what I paid."

With that, he turned and left.

Watching Wang Jincái's back, the middle-aged man nodded slightly and said to the young man behind him, "Find out more about him."

He then walked inside.

Leaving the hospital, Wang Jincái realized he was in the county town. To get back to the construction site, he would need to take a bus. Thinking about this, he muttered to himself, "I forgot to take the bus fare!"

However, thinking about the good deed he had done, Wang Jincái felt very happy. In his mind, this was a virtuous act.

He had read somewhere that only by doing good deeds would one's wealth increase. Wang Jincái had always believed this.

Just as he boarded the bus, Wang Jincái's phone rang.

Answering the call, he heard Qiu Lijuan's seductive voice.

"Wang Jincái?"

"Director Qiu, this is Wang Jincái."

Recognizing Qiu Lijuan's voice, Wang Jincái quickly responded.

"Where have you been?"

"I'm in the county town, about to head back to the construction site."

Wang Jincái didn't hide the fact that he was in the county town.

"County town? What are you doing there?"

Qiu Lijuan asked in surprise.

Wang Jincái didn't mention that he had saved someone, just saying, "I came to the city to deposit some money."

"What?"

Qiu Lijuan immediately thought of the content on the phone. She sighed inwardly, originally planning to take the phone from Wang Jincái today. Now it seemed unnecessary.

For a long time, Wang Jincái didn't know that Lin Yihai was right next to Qiu Lijuan, also listening to this conversation.

They had planned to deal with Wang Jincái early in the morning, but due to a sudden water leak at the project site, Lin Yihai only remembered this matter after finishing his work. He then asked Qiu Lijuan to call Wang Jincái to the project site. Their plan was to quickly get the content from Wang Jincái's phone.

They thought that as long as Wang Jincái was at the construction site, they could use some means to get the content from his phone. However, they were surprised to find that Wang Jincái had left early in the morning and couldn't be found.

In a panic, they found out Wang Jincái's phone number, only to discover that he had gone to the county town.

This process needed to be done discreetly, and by the time they got Wang Jincái's phone, a lot of time had passed.

The situation was getting complicated!

They had a feeling that Wang Jincái was very shrewd and had probably hidden the content of the phone somewhere in the city.

"Get him back as soon as possible. Tell him that our project department needs to borrow him to work in the office."

Lin Yihai frowned and said to Qiu Lijuan.

Lin Yihai's mood worsened. If Wang Jincái hadn't left the project site, they might have been able to get the content from his phone. Now that he was in the county town, the content had likely been transferred. Their original plans were no longer feasible. They could only stabilize Wang Jincái and try to get the content slowly.

Qiu Lijuan also knew that keeping Wang Jincái close would help control him, which was a good strategy.

"Wang Jincái, come back to the construction site quickly. General Manager Lin said he wants to borrow you to work in our project department's office."

"What?"

Wang Jincái's voice was loud, and everyone on the bus looked at him.

Qiu Lijuan repeated the message.

"What about my boss?" Wang Jincái thought about Wei Hongjiang's attitude.

"Don't worry about that. I'll handle it. Rest assured, your income will increase significantly in the office. General Manager Lin is very concerned about you. You must not do anything to betray him."

Wang Jincái knew this was a reminder not to leak the information. He quickly said, "Director Qiu, rest assured. I will definitely follow General Manager Lin and your instructions. I won't cause any trouble for you."

Qiu Lijuan then hung up the phone.

Holding his phone, Wang Jincái felt even better. He felt that his luck had turned since yesterday.

Could his luck be turning?

The bus from the county town to the town was very crowded, and it quickly filled up.

Looking around, Wang Jincái saw that everyone was carrying large and small bags, and his surroundings were piled with luggage.

Just then, he heard an argument behind him.

Turning around, he saw a middle-aged woman and a young woman arguing.

Both women looked like city residents, and their clothing was decent.

It turned out that due to the crowding, everyone was in a bad mood. The middle-aged woman saw the young woman sitting and demanded that she give up her seat. The young woman refused, leading to an argument. Both women were good at cursing, and all sorts of foul words were flying.

Listening to their argument, Wang Jincái couldn't stand it. After a moment's thought, he said to the middle-aged woman, "Sister, I'll give you my seat. Come and sit here."

As he spoke, he stood up.

Seeing someone give up their seat, the middle-aged woman glared at the young woman and said to Wang Jincái, "Thank you very much."

Wang Jincái smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine, it's fine. I can stand for a while. It's only an hour or two anyway."

The bus started, and the noise inside gradually subsided. Wang Jincái sat on a large sack, not knowing what was inside, but no one said anything to him.
