Chapter 874: Chapter 819 Salted Fish
The girl was about 1.7 ters tall, wearing a long dress with a jacket. Although she seed very ordinary, just standing there amidst the crowd, no one dared to approach her.
With a delicate face, untouched by makeup, she was stunningly beautiful. Her expression was silent, yet it invoked a sense of admiration and reverence from the depths of one’s heart.
“This beautiful lady, my surna is Wen, with a single character given na Hua. Judging by your appearance, you must be heading to Huaihai Province as well. Although the journey isn’t too far, I have a seat here. If you don’t mind, I can offer this seat to you.” The middle-aged man in a suit paused for a mont while looking at the extraordinarily elegant girl before him, then a hint of enthusiasm appeared in his eyes.
Having spent many years in the business world, he wasn’t exactly successful, but he had an eye for people. Besides her extraordinary beauty, the most significant thing about the girl was her unique aura.
This kind of aura is sothing that ordinary families couldn’t cultivate. To have such an aura ans her family background is anything but ordinary.
If such a small gesture could lead to an acquaintance with this girl, even if his pursuit failed in the future, if any trouble arose, she might lend a hand because of today.
“Pfft… Wenhua… Why not na yourself Lotus or Waterlily? It’s such a bizarre na for a grown man.” As soon as Wenhua finished speaking, a snicker erged from the crowd.
Following the voice, one saw Liu Hun with a mocking look on his face.
“My na is Wenhua, not Wenhua, nor anything like Lotus or Waterlily!” The middle-aged man, thus ridiculed by Liu Hun, swept his eyes across the train, seeing everyone stifling laughter, his eyes couldn’t help but show a trace of anger.
“Wenhua, I got it, but you know what Wenhua is? Though judging by your look, I guess you don’t know. I can inform you; in Chinese dicine, Wenhua is a rare herbal dicine,” Liu Hun deliberately paused at this point.
Noticing the curiosity in everyone’s expressions, including the curious gaze of the girl, Liu Hun slightly smirked and cleared his throat softly before continuing, “This rare herbal dicine is used to treat constipation!”
“Hahaha…” At his words, everyone finally couldn’t hold back and laughed heartily.
Even the girl couldn’t help but let her thin lips curve up slightly due to Liu Hun’s words.
“Kid, are you doing this on purpose?!” Wenhua stared daggers at Liu Hun, gritting his teeth.
“I’m just telling the truth, and I only explained because you seed curious. After all, it is your na.” Liu Hun appeared innocent.
“Damn it…” Wenhua was about to curse, but the girl’s ethereal voice, as clear as a lark, said crisply, “Sorry, this seat is mine, could you please move?”
At the girl’s words, everyone was dumbfounded again.
Even Wenhua was stunned for a mont. After realizing the girl handed him a ticket to verify, his face imdiately turned awkward.
He originally planned to offer his seat to the girl out of kindness, but it turned out the seat already belonged to her.
“Tsk tsk…” Watching the scene, Liu Hun chuckled mischievously.
“You… please have a seat, I’m really sorry…” Under the disdainful gazes of the crowd, Wenhua felt his face burning as if he had been slapped hard.
Before leaving, Wenhua glared fiercely at Liu Hun, but Liu Hun didn’t seem to care at all.
All his attention was now focused on the girl.
Liu Hun had thought that he wouldn’t see this girl again, but unexpectedly, this scene unfolded.
“Sister, why don’t you let the child take this seat so that no one will say a word?” After Wenhua left, the girl smiled slightly at an elderly lady.
The mont that smile appeared, everyone was montarily stunned. It was like the warm sunshine of spring, warming every heart.
“No… no need, we were already offered this seat by this gentleman. How could I trouble you further by taking your seat?” The elderly lady waved her hand at the girl in refusal.
Upon these words, the girl glanced at Liu Hun, a trace of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes before nodding slightly at the lady.
“How about this, sister, you can take our seats. My wife and I were originally headed to Huaihai Province as well, but since my wife is feeling unwell, we plan to get off at the next station. This way, everyone won’t have to argue, and they can both have a seat; considering now how tough it is for young people, having to stand on a long journey is quite exhausting.” Just as the girl was about to speak, a middle-aged man, around 40, alongside his wife, stood up and smiled at the elderly lady.
“Thank you both so much.” The elderly lady was a bit embarrassed, having both Liu Hun and the girl offer their seats. She was relieved when the couple ready to get off imdiately voiced their offer.
Relieved that soone was offering their seats as they were about to get off, so neither Liu Hun nor the girl had to continue standing.
After the elderly lady changed seats, Liu Hun didn’t mind and walked directly towards the seat.
“Could I sit by the window?” The girl earnestly asked Liu Hun.
Upon hearing this, Liu Hun was montarily stunned, then nodded and said, “Alright, it’s the sa wherever I sit.”
Seeing Liu Hun agree, the girl didn’t say much and directly sat by the window, while Liu Hun sat on the outside.
As soon as the girl sat down, she turned her delicate face towards the window, her beautiful eyes gazing at the rapidly disappearing scenery outside; she looked like a serene beauty.
“You must have put a lot of effort into getting this seat, right?” Just as Liu Hun was hesitating whether to strike up a conversation, the girl spoke softly.
Hearing the girl’s inquiry, Liu Hun was stunned in place.
Looking at the girl turning her head, her eyes calm as water with a glint of wisdom in them, Liu Hun smiled slightly and said, “It didn’t take much effort, just had soone look it up.”
“I’ve been to Grandfather Zhang and Grandfather Chen’s hos before, and I’ve heard a little about you, but I’ve never liked these kinds of struggles, so no matter how much effort you spend on , it’s useless,” the girl said directly to Liu Hun.
In response, Liu Hun wasn’t surprised at all; being able to tell at a glance that he intentionally got this seat, it was clear that this girl was indeed as Grandfather Zhang and Grandfather Chen had described.
Since she’s a gifted woman, it’s naturally impossible for her to help him so easily; Liu Hun had ntally prepared for this, so the refusal was within his expectations.
“Actually, from the beginning, I never held much hope. Although I don’t quite understand why Grandfather Zhang and Grandfather Chen have such high regard for you, I’ve always believed that the road is always under one’s feet and needs to be walked out step by step by oneself, not by relying on others for a sudden ascent.” Since she had already brought it up to this point, Liu Hun was no longer hiding anything and spoke candidly.
“I originally thought you would plead with , but it seems I sowhat underestimated you,” the girl said, looking at Liu Hun and shaking her head.
Before Liu Hun could speak, the girl continued, “Huaihai Province is not Southeast Province. In Southeast Province, you could get to where you are now with your abilities, but this doesn’t an you have extraordinary skills; with a little wit and your dical skills, anyone could do it. But Huaihai Province is not as easy as you imagine.”
“According to you, you think I’m too naive and young, right?” Liu Hun said with a smile.
“That’s right. It certainly seems that way to . Your ambition is great, I can see that; but one’s ambition should be proportional to their strength, and your current strength is far from eting your ambition. If you go back now, it might be a good choice.” The girl looked directly at Liu Hun, without holding back.
“At the beginning, no one probably believed that such a fool as I would achieve sothing so remarkable after waking up, but I, Liu Hun, still did it. And my trip to Huaihai, I will also accomplish. I don’t know you, just like you don’t know . No matter how ordinary a person might seem, they can never be fully understood by others.” Liu Hun put away his smile and calmly looked at the girl, answering.
This girl deeply shocked Liu Hun in his heart; her eyes seed to be able to penetrate everything, and confronting them, it felt as if all secrets were laid bare.
“Have you ever heard the saying? A salted fish turning over is still a salted fish; and you’re currently in the process of turning over. You can let the world praise you and then live this leisurely life, at least with a layer of cover, a salted fish wouldn’t seem so disgusting and annoying,” the girl said.
“I, Liu Hun, am indeed a salted fish; you’re not wrong about that, but there’s one thing you’re wrong about.” At this mont, his eyes also shone with a glimr of insight.
“I’ve never been wrong.” Faced with Liu Hun’s words, the girl seed completely unaware, speaking calmly.
“Once I turn over, I will no longer be a salted fish, and this turn is a must-win!” Liu Hun could see that she had lost all interest in him, but he still added one more sentence.
“Hmm, I’m a bit tired, going to take a nap first,” the girl said, then gently closed her eyes and began to rest.
Looking at the girl’s delicate face, at that mont, no one knew what he was thinking.
The girl stopped speaking, and Liu Hun didn’t want to ask for trouble. Since they couldn’t agree, there was no need to waste each other’s ti.
Although Liu Hun believed in what Grandfather Zhang and Grandfather Chen said, that if the girl helped, he would avoid many crises in Huaihai, Liu Hun had always been a stubborn person.
Once he decided sothing, it would never change, and he wasn’t accustod to asking for help.
To get what he wanted, he would only rely on his own hands to strive for it, rather than borrowing others’ hands.
Even with Grandfather Zhang and Grandfather Chen, Liu Hun felt no sha. Without what he had previously done, the two elders wouldn’t have valued him so much, and in Liu Hun’s view, apart from so emotional connections, there was more of mutual utilization.
Even this, Liu Hun achieved by his own efforts, not given by others without reason.
Finally, they arrived at Huaihai Province. When everyone in the carriage started getting off, the girl then said calmly to Liu Hun, “I’ve heard of Wenhua before, a seasoned businessman, values nothing but profit. Since you’re coming to Huaihai, business will likely be a necessary path, so be cautious.”
Hearing the girl’s words, Liu Hun was slightly stunned.
Seeing Liu Hun’s expression, the girl finally realized, sensing a sowhat peculiar look in Liu Hun’s eyes, she blushed slightly, feeling a bit flustered, and said, “Don’t misunderstand, this is just to repay you for letting have the seat. I never like to owe people favors.”
With that, the girl directly walked out of the carriage.
Watching the girl’s gradually disappearing back, Liu Hun’s lips curved slightly, and he murmured softly to himself, “I thought you didn’t have any weaknesses, but it seems you’re just an ordinary person after all.”
