Chapter 153 : From Now On, I Have Sold My Life to You
Chapter 153: From Now On, I Have Sold My Life to You
"Gone..."
Chen Fan was silent, with a regretful expression.
"How could this be?"
"My apologies, please accept my condolences."
Feng Pojun shook his head.
"During this period, my beloved has been enduring unbearable pain."
"After the surgery, she briefly enjoyed the feeling of being pain-free. She said she was already very satisfied."
"Before leaving, my beloved held my hand and instructed me to find our benefactor and repay the kindness."
Chen Fan waved his hand.
"I paid for you, without expecting any repayment."
However, Feng Pojun was exceptionally resolute.
"Although we are poor, our aspirations are not."
"A drop of kindness should be repaid like a gushing spring. If I cannot do this, I will have no face to see my beloved in this life."
At this time, the noodles were served. Chen Fan pointed at them.
"Let's eat first. We can talk after."
He took out two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to the other party.
Feng Pojun hesitated for a moment, unable to resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
Chen Fan smiled: "Eat. Are you still afraid I'll harm you?"
"No." Feng Pojun hurriedly shook his head, then accepted the chopsticks. After hesitating, he suddenly lowered his head, picked up the bowl of noodles, and wolfed them down.
Despite the scalding hot noodles, he seemed unaffected, slurping them down in just a few seconds until the bowl was empty.
Chen Fan was slightly startled.
He hadn't taken a single bite yet, but the other party had already finished eating.
Moreover, he had even drank all the soup.
Seeing Feng Pojun's manner, Chen Fan realized this man was likely out of money and probably hadn't had a full meal for several days.
Chen Fan immediately gestured with his hand.
"Boss. Two more bowls of noodles here."
"Sure."
Chen Fan smiled and pushed his own bowl of noodles over.
"Have my bowl first, I'm not hungry at the moment."
Feng Pojun hesitated for a moment, then accepted it.
"Thank you."
Chen Fan smiled and picked up some chili peppers.
"Would you like some spice?"
Feng Pojun scooped out four or five spoonfuls himself, making Chen Fan's heart jump.
Yet this man still wolfed them down, finishing the bowl in just a few gulps.
Chen Fan was greatly impressed.
This was not eating noodles, it was practically drinking them.
Afterward, Chen Fan ordered several more bowls.
Feng Pojun single-handedly ate five bowls of noodles, and it wasn't until the sixth bowl that his speed gradually slowed down.
Seeing the six large bowls stacked in front of him, Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Another bowl?"
Feng Pojun shook his head and wiped his mouth with his hand.
"I'm full."
Chen Fan smiled, "That's good then."
Chen Fan didn't leave immediately, but took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Feng Pojun.
This time, the other party didn't refuse.
After lighting it for him, Chen Fan thought for a moment and, in order to appear more mature in front of the other party, he also lit a cigarette for himself.
"Brother Feng, let me say something from my heart."
"When I helped you all before, I really didn't expect any reward."
"Your wife has passed away, but you shouldn't grieve too much. The road still lies ahead. When you go back, live your life well."
However, Feng Pojun shook his head.
"I'm not leaving."
"I said before, my life now belongs to you."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
"The main issue is that there's no use for you to stay with me."
"What can you do?"
Feng Pojun immediately sat up straight, with a serious expression.
"I can drive, fight, have a strong physique, and I can also work as a bodyguard. I understand some maintenance skills..."
Chen Fan sighed, "But I'm still a student now. I don't even have a car myself..."
Feng Pojun, however, had a serious expression.
"Besides what I mentioned earlier, I can also help you by risking my life."
"Just say the word, tell me who to kill, and from now on my life belongs to you."
Chen Fan sighed helplessly.
"I don't have that many enemies."
"Those people earlier..."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "That was just an accident."
"Brother, I really don't need that. Look, I have to attend classes at school every day, I can't bring you to school, can I?"
Feng Pojun sat in his place, head lowered, silent.
Seeing his demeanor, Chen Fan carefully observed this man again.
On such a cold day, he was only wearing a dirty set of clothes, without any warmth.
The clothes had been washed until faded, clearly worn for a long time.
On his feet were a pair of military green rubber shoes, with holes at the big toe area, exposing his toes.
Chen Fan sighed inwardly.
A down-and-out middle-aged man.
A man whose spirit had been bent by fate.
"Do you... have a job?"
Feng Pojun shook his head.
"I previously had a job at a construction site, but after my beloved was hospitalized, I couldn't work anymore. I had to stay with her at the hospital."
To be honest, Chen Fan was moved by this man's love for his wife.
Especially recalling that night when, in order to raise funds for his wife's surgery, he acted like a clown on the street, repeatedly stopping passing vehicles and actively promoting himself.
Even after receiving disdainful looks and insults, he remained unwavering.
Chen Fan admired such a man.
So he decided to give him a chance.
"You mentioned earlier that you worked at a construction site?"
Chen Fan took the initiative to start the conversation, "What kind of work did you usually do?"
Feng Pojun shook his head, "Not sure, whatever they asked me to do, mainly physical labor."
Chen Fan smiled.
"Here's the thing. I don't need you to risk your life for me, but I do have a job at a construction site."
"Would you be willing to do it?"
Feng Pojun abruptly looked up.
"Is it work for benefactor?"
Chen Fan nodded, "You could say that. That place is my venture, I'm starting a business there."
Feng Pojun immediately nodded without hesitation.
"I'll do it."
"As long as I can stay by our benefactor's side, I'll do whatever you ask."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Alright. Wait here, I'll take you to the site to have a look."
Chen Fan got up to pay the bill, then led Feng Pojun out.
"Where's your luggage? Bring your things, I'll take you to see the place you'll be working."
Feng Pojun shook his head.
"I don't have any luggage."
Chen Fan didn't ask further and hailed a taxi.
Western City Amusement Park.
When the two arrived, the construction site had already started operating.
According to Chen Fan's request, in order to speed up progress, Ding Dian had brought in another construction crew.
The number of workers on site had clearly increased, and the speed had improved considerably.
"Follow me."
Chen Fan led Feng Pojun around the amusement park, introducing him to the general area.
"This is roughly the area, since I have to attend classes most of the time, there's a lack of supervision here."
"Brother Feng, we're acquainted now. I want you to stay here and act as a supervisor for me."
"During the day, oversee the workers' progress, and at night, take charge of security, just ensure that no one comes to the site to steal anything."
"What do you think?"
Feng Pojun seemed excited.
"I can handle this job."
"Rest assured, benefactor, as long as I'm at the site for a day, there will absolutely be no incidents of theft or pilfering."
Chen Fan smiled and waved his hand.
"From now on, you don't need to call me benefactor anymore, it sounds awkward."
Feng Pojun nodded.
"Then I'll call you boss, from now on you're my boss."
