Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Liang Xinghua carried his daughter out to the roadside and flagged down a three-wheeler.

"Driver, to the County Hospital!"

Lan Menglian chased after them, and the family of three squeezed onto the three-wheeler.

At this moment, the driver said indifferently:

"This vehicle only seats two people; three people costs an extra 5 yuan."

"What?"

Liang Xinghua was stunned: "Isn't it 5 yuan a trip regardless? You still charge by headcount?"

The driver said:

"Right now a three-wheeler can only carry two people max; three people is an extra 5 yuan. If you don't want to ride, then forget it."

Lan Menglian said angrily:

"It wasn't like this before; you're just bullying us because we look easy to bully, trying to fleece us, right?"

The driver was expressionless:

"This is the new rule, same for everyone. If you don't want to ride, get off."

Liang Xinghua said dejectedly:

"Fine, fine, just go already!"

But Lan Menglian said:

"Don't go! We're not taking your cab anymore! We won't let you fleece us!"

Saying this, Lan Menglian got off.

Liang Xinghua could only get off as well.

He was quite speechless:

"What are you doing? Our daughter has a fever. Paying an extra 5 yuan is just paying an extra 5 yuan. Is our daughter's health important, or is that 5 yuan important?"

Lan Menglian said angrily:

"You still have the nerve to blame me? If you had any promise, earned money and bought a small sedan, we wouldn't have to take a three-wheeler to see a doctor in the middle of the night!"

Liang Xinghua was rendered speechless by Lan Menglian.

Lan Menglian was right; he indeed had no promise.

If he had promise, made money, bought a house and a car, how would his daughter have to suffer alongside him?

At this time, another three-wheeler came.

This three-wheeler's driver also said he only takes two people; three people costs an extra 5 yuan.

Lan Menglian, out of spite, simply refused to pay that extra 5 yuan.

And because of this, she quarreled with the driver.

"On what grounds! This is fleecing customers!"

The driver said coldly:

"On the grounds that this vehicle is mine. If you don't want to ride, forget it!"

Then he was about to drive away.

Liang Xinghua hurriedly stopped him:

"Driver, don't go!"

Then he said to Lan Menglian:

"You take our daughter to the hospital first; I'll walk there. That should work, right?"

Only then did Lan Menglian compromise, getting in the vehicle with their daughter.

Not forgetting to instruct Liang Xinghua:

"Then walk fast, don't spend money recklessly. Save 5 yuan if you can save 5 yuan. Our family is poor!"

Liang Xinghua watched the three-wheeler recede into the distance and let out a long, turbid breath.

"Poor couple, hundred sorrows" — once again made concrete.

Making him deeply realize that a man can have nothing, but absolutely cannot have no money!

He also thought of the cooperation terms Huo Zhi Hui offered him: a monthly commission with a guaranteed minimum of over 15,000 yuan — that really is a large sum!

His heart stirred once more.

At this moment, yet another three-wheeler came.

"Handsome, where to?"

The driver slowed down and greeted Liang Xinghua walking on the road.

If it were the previous honest and simple Liang Xinghua, he would absolutely have obeyed Lan Menglian's instruction and chosen to walk to the County Hospital to save that 5 yuan.

But these past few days Liang Xinghua had experienced too much; not only did his view of his wife change enormously, his view of this world was also subverted.

"How much to the County Hospital?"

Liang Xinghua asked.

This three-wheeler driver quoted:

"8 yuan!"

Liang Xinghua was stunned:

"Isn't it five yuan?"

The tricycle driver smiled:

"It's late at night, the price is definitely higher than during the day; eight yuan is the going rate!"

Liang Xinghua knew the tricycle driver was fleecing him, fooling him for a tiny profit.

But this time he not only didn't haggle, he didn't even say a word of nonsense.

"Fine, then let's go!"

He directly got in the vehicle.

Very quickly, he arrived at the County Hospital entrance.

Paid the money, got out of the vehicle.

Then at the County Hospital entrance, he unhurriedly smoked two cigarettes, felt the time was about right, and only then went into the hospital to find Lan Menglian and his precious daughter.

Just as he found Lan Menglian, Lan Menglian scolded him impatiently again:

"Is your leg lame? How come you're only coming over now!"

Liang Xinghua said expressionlessly:

"Walking over is definitely a bit slower, you think I'm Liu Xiang."

Lan Menglian shoved the slip the doctor wrote into Liang Xinghua's hand, saying coldly:

"Hurry up and pay, only after paying can she get the injection!"

Liang Xinghua really wanted to question Lan Menglian, almost all the family money is in your hands, why don't you go pay this hundred-odd yuan of medical expenses? Why must you wait for me to come before paying?

But he held back, didn't say anything, and directly went to pay.

From taking a taxi to the County Hospital, to paying medical expenses for his daughter, his words and actions had changed a great deal compared to that previous Liang Xinghua.

Don't look at these as just small matters.

But these small matters, once he Liang Xinghua did them, signified a lot.

At least, from this night on, he was no longer honest and dutiful.

He began to be flexible and adaptable.

The next day early morning, he went to work as usual.

On the way, he took the initiative to call Huo Zhi Hui:

"Team Leader Huo, I've thought for a night, decided to work with you."

Huo Zhi Hui heard this, was very delighted:

"Brother Liang, you being able to see reason is great, from now on everyone earn money together!"

Liang Xinghua at this moment however changed the subject:

"However, I have one condition."

Huo Zhi Hui said with a smile:

"Whatever conditions you have, just bring them up!"

Liang Xinghua said:

"My condition is, I will still strictly supervise according to quality standards, but you still have to give me 5 yuan commission per person per day."

Huo Zhi Hui heard this, immediately stunned:

"Hehe, Brother Liang, you're not joking, right? If we strictly recruit according to quality standards, why would I need to come find you to talk cooperation? You want to take the kickback but also don't want to give me an opening, that's not honorable."

Liang Xinghua however said:

"You can choose not to cooperate with me, but in the future whoever you recruit, not a single one will get through me."

Huo Zhi Hui heard this, immediately like he'd eaten a fly.

"No... Liang Xinghua, are you serious?"

Huo Zhi Hui was very displeased.

Because he could clearly feel Liang Xinghua was blatantly manipulating him, threatening him.

Liang Xinghua clearly stated his position:

"Of course I'm serious. Right, almost forgot to tell you, whether it's Zhou Hongwei, or Zhao Shoutian, Liu Dahe, they all have a very good relationship with me, I just need to give them a heads-up, and they likewise won't let your company's people through."

Huo Zhi Hui this time not only felt like he'd eaten a fly, but also felt like he'd eaten shit.

He just couldn't reach an agreement with Zhou Hongwei, Zhao Shoutian, Liu Dahe those three, that's why he came to find Liang Xinghua to negotiate.

Originally thought Liang Xinghua would be unable to withstand the test, would accept his temptation.

Never expected Liang Xinghua was actually a ruthless character.

Refusing his proposed cooperation terms was one thing, but he even took the opportunity to bite back!

Can only say, don't let an honest man change his principles.

When an honest man starts changing his principles, that ruthlessness, is more ruthless than anyone.

"You'd better think clearly, I'm General Manager Huo's nephew, don't think just because you have Wang Erhai covering for you, you can act recklessly!"

Huo Zhi Hui said gloomily, gritting his teeth.

Liang Xinghua however said coldly:

"Sorry, I'm just fulfilling my supervisor duties, anyway employees not meeting requirements definitely cannot get through me."
