196: Chapter 76 This is what he cherishes, it has always been so_2 196: Chapter 76 This is what he cherishes, it has always been so_2 An old but brand-new, ill-fitting, tight suit, a slightly disheveled head of hair, a red nose, and big yellow teeth stained with tobacco.

This kind of person had always been far from Temir’s world.

“Mr.

Hanks, you are the guest I was most looking forward to today because I hadn’t contacted you before.

I went to your shop yesterday, but you weren’t there.

I could only send you a message on social media, so I was worried you might not come.”

People encounter many individuals and events in their lives, but some are particularly different.

To Cheng Daqi, Old Hanks was that different person.

“No, things at the shop got finished late today, so…..”

Old Hanks explained that this Dixie boy had actually already come before.

After arriving and seeing the luxury cars parked at the entrance, he quickly went home to change into proper clothing; now he was here for the second time.

Bringing Hanks in front of the phone camera, Cheng Daqi said with feeling as he looked into the lens.

“It’s fine as long as you can come, it’s not late at all.

Back then, when I had just arrived in America, in this foreign country, you were the first to extend a helping hand to me.

A hundred dollars might not seem like a lot, but it gave me the confidence to stay in America.

I still remember what I said to you, ‘This investment will definitely have a good return.’

So, I was really looking forward to your coming, allowing me to give this return to you, personally.”

If using Sani as a shield was half-true and half an act, then now Cheng Daqi was truly sincere.

Old Hanks was a little nervous because he was a car mechanic, so he had a clear understanding of the row of cars parked at the entrance of Cheng Daqi’s house.

The guests of Cheng Daqi tonight were definitely not simple, and now, everyone was curiously looking at him, making Old Hanks feel nervous.

“No need, Chan, I…..”

“No, Mr.

Hanks, you were my first benefactor.

In Hua Country, there is a saying, ‘For a drop of water given, you should repay with an entire lake.’

Cheng Daqi skillfully took out a checkbook from his breast pocket and briefly showed the amount written on it to the camera.

It initially had one thousand written on it, but in front of everyone’s eyes, Cheng Daqi added another zero right there.

“$10,000, you gave me a hundred dollars, and today I am returning $10,000 to you.

Don’t think that this amount is too much; it is what I ought to do.”

Amazement, Eris was amazed, Temir was amazed, Lisa was amazed, Kernor was amazed…

When characters’ actions are described in web novels, the shock of onlookers often underscores the protagonist’s awesomeness,

but now, Cheng Daqi’s friends were genuinely shocked by his actions.

Someone gives you a hundred dollars, and you directly pay back a thousand, not considering enough and adding another zero on the spot.

Chan, you truly are someone who can achieve great things!

In the live stream’s comment section, the translator worked quickly, and the audience’s emotions surged.

‘Damn, that’s awesome, the Beggar King did it so generously.’

‘I wish I had friends like that; mine only owes me five hundred, and has been dragging it out for three years without paying!’

‘Why do I smell a hint of ‘To the one who betrays me, I’ll give three million’?

The Beggar King’s approach seems like performance art.

Is he setting up a persona?’

Zhao Hongjin looked at the comments and then at Cheng Daqi.

She was a bit lost, unable to discern if Cheng Daqi was performing or being genuine.

Difficult to handle.

Sister Zhao shook her head, saying nothing else.

“Chan, no need!

I don’t want your money!”

Old Hanks’s response took everyone by surprise, the old Dixie boy’s tone even a bit forceful.

“I helped you without needing anything in return.

If I accept your repayment, does it mean that the next time someone needs help, I have to first consider whether they will repay me?

Your action, although seemingly grateful, is actually incorrect.

Helping someone should be done with no expectation of repayment.

If every helper in this society aims for monetary return, then the many who truly need help may never receive it.

I can’t articulate this logic very well, but I don’t want your money.”

Shock, everyone, including Cheng Daqi, fell into a secondary shock.

The old Dixie boy’s values were as correct as Fahai chanting mighty celestial dragons, and even Gru, a real-world scoundrel, was moved.

Zhao Hongjin’s eyes reflected contemplation; she discovered that Hanks’s thoughts were somewhat similar to the logic of ‘Zi Gong buying slaves’ freedom.’

No, they were exactly the same.

Despite the same underlying logic, the specific forms of expression were opposite.

After listening to Old Hanks, Cheng Daqi pondered for a moment, then replied.

“Mr.

Hanks, then please allow me to return the hundred dollars I owe you.

Is that alright?”

Old Hanks nodded; that was acceptable.

“Chan, so what are you now?”

Seeing what Mr.

Hanks wanted to ask, Cheng Daqi smiled and began to introduce Temir.

“This is my girlfriend, Mi’er.

I can say that I’ve officially assimilated into America now, and all of this started with our meeting.

Your small act of help at that time truly changed my life.”

The wealthy lady with black hair hadn’t expected Cheng Daqi to say such words to such an unremarkable-looking old man.

She glanced at Old Hanks and nodded with a smile as a greeting.

—————–

After getting Old Hanks seated, Lisa began her dance performance, but all of this was no longer related to Cheng Daqi.

He was pulled by the wealthy lady with black hair to the living room on the second floor.
