Chapter 333 Gratitude
Xu Qing looked at Huang Yang.
Huang Yang was very hesitant. If Xu Qing could really cure everyone's illness, it would not only save him a lot of money, but also solve the urgent needs of their boatmen's union. This would be a great favor.
He was just afraid that Xu Qing came here for other purposes.
First of all, how could the timing be so coincidental?
Shen Conggang told them not to help Xu Qing.
Xu Qing came to them on his own initiative, perhaps intending to use the favor of helping them solve the problem as a way of repaying the favor and making the boatmen's union turn against them.
If this is true, then Xu Qing really came here with a purpose.
He would rather bleed profusely than be coerced.
Not to mention asking him to betray Shen Cong, which is absolutely impossible!
When the people around Huang Yang saw that he was hesitant, they knew that the boss was being stubborn again.
He whispered, "Boss, what are you still hesitating about? Is Shen Cong more important or are the lives of our brothers more important? You can't just care about Shen Cong's emotions and ignore the brothers, right?"
Since the boss is stubborn, then let's use loyalty to suppress loyalty. We are all brothers, can there be any division between high and low?
Even if we really have to rank people according to their social status, these brothers arrived earlier than Shen Cong, so they must have a higher status than Shen Cong!
After hearing what he said, Huang Yang felt a little sorry.
Indeed, we are all brothers, and he cannot neglect one while focusing on the other. Otherwise, he would be derelict in his duty as the boss.
Huang Yang said to Xu Qing, "Mr. Xu Qing, can you please have a word with me?"
The two walked to the corner.
Xu Qing asked doubtfully: "President Huang, what's the matter?"
Huang Yang hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to make it clear. Even if it made Xu Qing unhappy, the most they could do was to withdraw and he would have to pay for the medicine himself, which was no different from his original plan.
Huang Yang asked: "Mr. Xu Qing, don't blame me for being harsh. I just want to ask, why did you come here? Why did you come to help our boatmen's union?"
Hearing Huang Yang's meaningful question, Xu Qing vaguely guessed what he was thinking.
I guess President Huang thinks there is a conspiracy here.
Xu Qing said helplessly: "President Huang, if I say this is a coincidence, would you believe it?"
Huang Yang didn't say anything, but just stared at him, obviously not believing him.
"Okay. Since President Huang has spoken his mind, I will speak my mind too. Whether President Huang believes it or not, this is indeed a coincidence. I cannot get enough ingredients because of the obstacles set by Shen Cong. If I can't think of a solution, I'm afraid I will have to cancel the banquet in three days. But I really have no other choice, so I was so anxious that I was terribly worried and felt suffocated in the house, so I wanted to come out to relax."
"Can you relax at the pier? There are no tourist attractions here, only a bunch of sweaty and smelly men."
Xu Qing said: "At least I can't hear the expected discussions here. Those discussions used to be my motivation, but now they have become a huge pressure."
Coming here for some quiet time makes sense.
Huang Yang thought to himself.
Xu Qing continued, "And here I see people who are just as depressed and anxious as I am. I can't solve my own depression with my own ability, but at least I can use this power to solve the depression of others. And I heard that the reason for their depression is a strange disease, which is exactly what I can do, so I want to help them. Isn't it good to have fewer people like me who are depressed in this world?"
These sincere words shocked Huang Yang's heart.
He thought of many reasons, but this was the only one he had not thought of.
At this moment he felt deeply guilty for his dark thoughts, but at the same time he felt it was a little unrealistic.
Are there really such people in the world?
"Mr. Xu Qing is truly a man of noble character!"
Huang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I can't say I'm noble. I'm just an ordinary person, not a saint. At the same time, I'm also a chef. My master once told me that a chef is someone who brings happiness to others. Using taste to make people happy, using food to fill people's stomachs, and allowing people to face the world with a good attitude and a healthy body, this is the happiness that a chef can bring. I'm not noble, I'm just doing what I should do." "That's enough..."
Huang Yang sighed softly, "If everyone thought like Mr. Xu Qing, there wouldn't be so much pain and annoyance in the world."
Xu Qing does not consider himself noble, nor does he regard himself as a saint.
What he did was mostly based on his own will, and you could say he was willful.
But this kind of willfulness and this kind of heart are much higher than many people.
At least Huang Yang felt inferior to him.
Huang Yang values loyalty, which is why he treats Shen Cong as a brother and takes Shen Cong's feelings into consideration when doing things.
But at this moment, his small righteousness seemed a little narrow compared to Xu Qing's great righteousness.
For Huang Yang, who attached the most importance to the word "righteousness", he was truly impressed by Xu Qing at this moment.
Huang Yang clasped his fists solemnly and said, "Mr. Xu Qing, please accept my greeting."
"President Huang."
Xu Qing quickly helped him up.
Huang Yang said with emotion: "Alas, I have judged others by my own standards. I hope Mr. Xu Qing can lend a hand and help my brothers."
Xu Qing said: "Please rest assured, President Huang, I will do my best."
After the two of them discussed it, Huang Yang immediately announced that the medicinal food made by Xu Qing would be distributed to all the boatmen.
These words immediately aroused cheers from the audience.
As soon as they smelled the aroma, they couldn't help themselves, but their remaining rationality was still trying to restrain their legs and feet, so that they wouldn't rush in all at once, but that was all. In their hearts, they were still eagerly looking forward to tasting this bowl of delicious food.
When they heard that they could taste the delicious food, everyone cheered and jumped for joy. Their rationality finally broke down and they ran over like crazy.
Seeing this frightening scene, Sanjie and others standing near the cauldron were trembling in their hearts, especially Sanjie. He had never seen such a spectacular scene before. His legs and feet suddenly became weak and he sat down on the ground.
Fortunately, Huang Yang brought a lot of burly men with him, who relied on their physical advantages to barely maintain order. In addition, with the prestige of Huang Yang and others and the shouting and scolding of the boatmen's leaders, everyone lined up obediently and waited for that bowl of delicious food.
Hearing the enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, seeing the extremely excited expressions on their faces, and witnessing the spectacular scene that was almost out of control, Huang Yang's heart skipped a beat.
He suddenly realized that if he really drove Xu Qing away this time and did not allow them to taste this extremely tempting delicacy, these boatmen would probably feel strongly dissatisfied with him in their hearts even if they did not say it.
His previous strict and inhumane rules had already made many boatmen dissatisfied. If this incident happened again, I'm afraid these boatmen would really rebel.
By then, with the pressure from employers outside and the protests and riots from the boatmen inside, his boatmen's union would be in big trouble with both internal and external troubles.
When Huang Yang thought of this, sweat broke out on his forehead and he was still frightened.
But now, the worries have turned into joy. Not only is there a chance to cure the strange diseases that everyone is suffering from, but also to win the hearts and minds of the people. For the leaders, it will save a lot of money. Then the problem of backlog of goods can be improved, and they can also give an explanation to their employers.
What a feat!
Huang Yang was filled with gratitude towards Xu Qing.
And amidst my heart full of gratitude, there is also a slight trace of guilt.
But it was not to Xu Qing, but to another person.
This time, he will feel sorry for Shen Cong.
