I have big problems with my superpowers and my relationship

The couple had already sat back in their chairs. The man kept thanking Lu Chen, while the woman was hugging her daughter and silently wiping away her tears.

The little girl also recognized Lu Chen. Although she might not understand the meaning of what happened yesterday at her age, she still thanked Lu Chen obediently.

"Thank you, big brother, for saving me and my mom!"

The child's voice was so tender and innocent that Lu Chen suddenly felt that everything he had done was worth it.

Of course, this is based on the premise that you are fine.

Smiling at the little girl, Lu Chen looked up and asked, "Brother, how did you find this place?"

The man answered truthfully: "We went to your school first, and a teacher named Liu told us that you were doing an internship here."

"..."

I finally understand why Lao Liu made so many calls this morning.

I thought the deadline for the paper was brought forward, it scared me to death.

Feeling relieved, Lu Chen shook his head helplessly: "Brother, sister, even if I didn't help yesterday, there would be others who would help. You don't have to take it to heart."

"No, no, no, you are our family's benefactor. If we don't come, would we still be considered human beings?"

The man's words were simple and sincere, and he took out a thick envelope from his bag while speaking.

"This is a small token of our appreciation. It's not much. You must..."

"I can't have this."

Lu Chen pushed the envelope back without a second thought and refused straightforwardly.

Judging from the thickness of the envelope, there should be about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in it.

The reason why he refused this "huge sum of money" was very simple.

It's not some noble virtue of "doing good without asking for anything in return", it's just that we can see that this family of three is not that wealthy.

The peeling leather bag in the man's hand, the cracked screen of the mobile phone in the woman's hand that she is still using, and the small stuffed toy in the little girl's arms that has been washed white.

Everything proves that this family's life is not only not rich, but even a little difficult.

Therefore, Lu Chen could accept Sun Siqin's membership card with peace of mind, but he couldn't bear to accept the envelope.

After all, for him, forty or fifty thousand might just be a few new electronic products... oh, and now maybe a few kitchen appliances too.

For this family, this may be the little girl's future tuition, protection when she is sick, and the confidence to buy her new clothes during the holidays.

Based on the simplicity and sincerity shown by the man and woman, Lu Chen believed that the envelope should contain all their savings.

therefore......

"I definitely won't take the money. If you really feel bad about it..."

Pointing at the red bear in the little girl's hand, Lu Chen said with a smile: "Then give it to me. I'll keep it as a souvenir."

“…No, no, no, this won’t work!”

The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and continued to stuff the envelope into Lu Chen's arms.

"It's not a lot of money, you must accept it!"

"Brother! I really don't want it!"

"No! We won't leave unless you accept us!"

"I won't take you in whether you leave or not!"

The man and Lu Chen were talking back and forth, one pushing and the other pushing, the noises getting louder and louder, the situation suddenly turned into a checkout scene at a Northeastern restaurant, or a fight over red envelopes during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that the situation was about to become chaotic again, Mr. Hu, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.

"Mr. Zhang, Xiao Lu, let me say a few words."

"..."

As expected of a leader, as soon as the classic opening line of "Let me say a few words" came out, Lu Chen and the man shut up instantly.

Mr. Hu smiled, paused for a moment, and then continued:

"I know that Mr. Zhang and your family especially want to thank Xiao Lu."

"But Xiao Lu refuses to accept the money. I don't think you will get anything if you keep fighting like this."

"Xiao Lu is an employee of Xingyue. He did such a good thing. As the leader of the company, I am very pleased."

"So I think we should just do this."

"Mr. Zhang, please take back the money."

"As for your kindness, Xingyue Media will give it to you!"

Chapter 45 It’s all a conspiracy of capitalists!

For a moment, there was silence in the conference room.

Your thoughts will be delivered by Xingyue Media!

The meaning of this sentence is very clear, that is, Xingyue Media will give Lu Chen a bonus on behalf of the man's family to commend the latter for his brave behavior.

If the company paid, Lu Chen would of course accept it without hesitation.

but......

Looking up at the surveillance camera in the corner of the ceiling, he always felt that this seemed like a "conspiracy" of the evil capitalists.

What’s more, Xingyue is also a media company.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Lu Chen seemed to have seen the densely packed comments such as "Conscientious company!" and "Like for Xingyue!" under a certain hot search short video.

It’s a pity that “Mr. Zhang” didn’t have his alertness. He just widened his eyes when he heard it, and it took him a long time to react.

"No, no, this won't work..."

"It's okay. What you want to give is a token of your heart. We at Xingyue also want to encourage outstanding employees. Mr. Zhang, please don't be polite."

Mr. Hu smiled and tapped the table gently: "I think this matter is settled."

"..."

I have to say, maybe after being a leader for a long time, one will develop an unquestionable temperament.

The man stared at Hu Shuo blankly, as if he wanted to hold on a little longer, but in the end he couldn't say a word he wanted to say, and in the end all he could do was feel touched.

“Thank you, leader… Thank you, leader…”

His rough hands were trembling slightly, and there was a simple sense of guilt in his eyes.

From Lu Chen's firm refusal to Mr. Hu's "expressing his feelings on your behalf", at this moment, the man no longer understood why the two of them did this.

Although he might not have guessed Hu Shuo's true motive, at least on the surface, the latter was helping him.

Helping him save this money, which may have a great impact on their family's life, is a way of repaying Lu Chen.

Therefore, the man could be said to be extremely moved at this moment, and even his eyes were a little moist.

Hu Shuo stood up with a smile, held his hand with one hand, patted his shoulder gently with the other hand, and said with a clear and sincere voice:

"Don't thank me. I just did something that any conscientious entrepreneur would do. It's nothing compared to Xiao Lu."

"He is the real hero, not only your family's hero, but also Xingyue's hero, and even more so, the hero of society!"

"Having such an employee is not only a blessing for Xingyue, but also..."

No, what are you talking about???

Why did you suddenly start listing parallel sentences???

You're making me...Oh, I see!

Now we’re getting to the sentimental part, right?

After hearing Hu Shuo's "speech" that was neither emotional nor pretentious, Lu Chen suddenly realized that it was completely certain that all this was a conspiracy.

It is estimated that it won’t be long before this surveillance video is “accidentally” exposed on the Internet and becomes a hot topic, turning Xingyue into a “humane and socially responsible” conscientious company overnight.

BYD is worthy of being in the media industry as it can greatly enhance its corporate image with just tens of thousands of dollars.

No wonder Hu Shuo, an executive vice president, would come in person to meet the man's family.

It turns out that he is a capitalist who will not do anything without profit...

With the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, Lu Chen stood up reluctantly as he looked at Hu Shuo who was looking at him eagerly.

Forget it, just cooperate with me for the sake of the 50,000 yuan I'm about to get.

"Mr. Hu, I will definitely live up to your and the company's cultivation and become a useful person to society!"

"it is good!"

Seeing Lu Chen being so understanding, Hu Shuo smiled more sincerely: "I hope you can do what you say!"

I also hope that you will keep your promise of bonus.

Otherwise, I will fight to the death with Xingyueyu!

Never even step into the media circle!

Lu Chen muttered a few words in his heart and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, I will continue to work hard."

"Well, then it's settled then."

Hu Shuo turned to look at the man and said, "Mr. Zhang, it's getting late. Why don't you stay and have a quick meal together?"

It's not early? It's only past ten o'clock, brother!

"No, no, no."

The man immediately waved his hand, and the woman quickly pulled her daughter to stand up: "We came here just to thank classmate Lu Chen in person. Now that we have delayed you for so long, let's go back first."

"Okay, I'll take you there."

"No, no, we can just go by ourselves. We won't bother the leader. We won't bother the leader."

"Haha, what kind of leader am I... Assistant Sun, then you go and see them off."

After accompanying the man and his family to the door of the conference room, Hu Shuo turned around and looked at the female assistant behind him.
