I went back to 74 and awakened the Godly Rich System

Chapter 31 31. Old Classmate

Zhang Quan said with a smile: "In our line of work, we need good eyesight. We can't do without good eyesight."

Then he pointed to the security office and said, "Would you like to sit over there?"

Du Chuan said: "Okay, I'll trouble Brother Zhang then."

Zhang Quan's intention was obviously to give him face, otherwise if the other party refused outright, Du Chuan would have nothing to say.

The thin young man kept his head down. Du Chuan just glanced at him and had no intention of talking to him.

Arriving at the security department's office, Zhang Quan first said to the other two, "You two go out and have a cigarette first."

Du Chuan stepped forward and thrust his cigarette box over. "Take mine. I just happen to have some left."

The two men looked at Zhang Quan, and seeing that he did not refuse, they accepted it and went outside to smoke.

After everyone left, Zhang Quan said to Du Chuan, "We caught this kid stealing something."

As he spoke, he took out a canvas bag and poured out some iron, copper and other things from it. Although they were all waste, this was not allowed by the unit.

Du Chuan frowned slightly. Stealing things is not a good thing.

"The key point is that this kid is not the first time to steal things. I have been caught twice before, but I just didn't catch him then. I also warned him specifically, but he just wouldn't listen. Now he starts stealing things again." Zhang Quan said as he became annoyed.

He had let this kid off twice and even reminded him, but who would have thought that this kid would take his kindness for granted and still steal!

This made Zhang Quan unbearable.

"Liang Gang, you...ah." Du Chuan said, not knowing how to start.

Teach him a lesson?
I am not related to him, so why should I teach him a lesson?

But he couldn't bear not to help. Du Chuan must know this person, and they were classmates. They even had a pretty good relationship when they were in school.

In addition, Du Chuan had heard something about the current situation in Liang Gang's family, so although his behavior might be a little bad, Du Chuan did have some understanding.

It's not just him, Zhang Quan is the same as well, otherwise Zhang Quan would not have let him go twice in a row.

"My father couldn't bear the pain anymore and wanted to commit suicide yesterday." Liang Gang lowered his head and said sullenly.

He was not trying to defend himself, but wanted to explain to his former friend that he didn't really steal for himself.

Perhaps deep down, he didn't want to be looked down upon by this former classmate and friend.

Although he thought he was comforting himself, he couldn't help but say this.

When Du Chuan heard this, he could only sigh. He was indeed forced into a desperate situation.

Liang Gang's father used to be an employee of a machinery factory. At that time, Liang Gang was very handsome in their school because Liang Gang was the only child in their family. Although he had an older sister, their family tended to favor boys over girls, so they treated Liang Gang very well.

At that time, Du Chuan and Liang Gang had a good relationship, and Liang Gang would take care of him if he had anything delicious.

Unfortunately, just three years ago, Liang Gang’s father had his leg amputated due to a mistake at work.

Nowadays, medical care is basically borne by the state and guaranteed by employers, but it is not completely free of charge.

For people like Liang Gang's father, the treatment is definitely free, but some medicines may cost money afterwards, and the company can only reimburse some of it at most.

Liang Gang also came back to take over his father's business because his father retired due to a work-related injury. This is very common nowadays, for sons to take over from their fathers.

Before Du Chuan came to the machinery factory, he actually went to find Liang Gang, but at that time Liang Gang just nodded to him. When he took the initiative to speak, Liang Gang basically didn't respond, so Du Chuan didn't go to find him again.

They met twice more after that, but each time Liang Gang just lowered his head and walked away, as if he didn't know Du Chuan.

Zhang Quan said: "If it weren't for your father, would I have spared you twice? Now someone has reported it to me. If I don't catch you, I will also be in trouble." Many times, Zhang Quan wanted to turn a blind eye. After all, the things Liang Gang stole were just some waste. But since someone reported it, he had to take care of it, otherwise he would be the one in trouble.

"Well, Brother Zhang, why don't we just forget about it this time? I'll talk to the leader and if there's any problem, you can just push it onto me." Du Chuan thought about it and opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

It can be regarded as repaying the favor of eating a lot of delicious food from Liang Gang back then.

In the past, Liang Gang was considered the most well-off among his classmates, so Du Chuan naturally benefited from it.

Now that I have encountered such a situation and I have a say, I should help if I can.

When Zhang Quan heard Du Chuan say this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you really going to help him deal with this? Someone is watching this matter."

He knew that Du Chuan was now a popular figure in the unit, and even the top leader Lu Jianzhou loved Du Chuan very much.

As the deputy chief of the security department, he knew more, so when Du Chuan spoke to him and expressed his desire to plead for mercy, he took the cigarette.

Otherwise, Zhang Quan wouldn't even bother to pay attention to Du Chuan.

Du Chuan said: "It's okay. If anyone wants to cause trouble for you, let them come to me directly. I still have some face with the leaders."

Seeing that Du Chuan had said this, Zhang Quan agreed. In fact, he didn't want to make things difficult for Liang Gang.

"Okay, let's forget about this matter, but I still have to take the things away," said Zhang Quan.

Du Chuan thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Zhang. I'll treat you to a meal when I have time."

"Haha, okay, then I'll wait. I'll definitely give you a good meal when the time comes." Zhang Quan said with a smile.

Du Chuan was polite to Zhang Quan for a while, then left with Liang Gang.

"Come with me." Du Chuan said to Liang Gang.

Liang Gang walked in the opposite direction without saying a word.

"Go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine."

Du Chuan's words made Liang Gang stop instantly, and then he followed Du Chuan silently.

After arriving at the pharmacy, Du Chuan said to him, "Just ask for what you want."

What Liang Gang actually bought were painkillers. Du Chuan helped pay for them and bought some more.

"Thank you. I will find a way to return the money to you." Liang Gang said sullenly.

Du Chuan said: "Just a thank you, why don't you invite me to your house for a meal?"

Liang Gang opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to say it.

Of course he knew that Du Chuan was not after his meal, but wanted to visit his home.

Du Chuan ignored him and walked out. It was not like he didn't know where Liang Gang lived.

When they arrived at Liang Gang's house, Du Chuan already had some gifts and food and drinks in his hands. These were bought on the road, and Liang Gang couldn't stop him.

Du Chuan is not short of money now, so he is naturally not stingy, and everything he buys is good stuff.

With Jamie and the others, Du Chuan can be said to have a stable and continuous small treasury. When he is short of money, he can just go and earn some gold coins.

When Du Chuan came with gifts, everyone in Liang Gang's family was stunned for a moment, as if they did not expect that someone would come to their house with gifts at this time.
