Chapter 14: A Misunderstanding Between Us
Nan Ge did not know what Shen Yanqing was doing. Her attention was focused on her phone. It showed that the transfer of $500 had been accepted by the recipient.
Reluctantly, she took another look.
Nan Ge could not help but gasp. The sharp pain in her heart urged her to quickly turn off her phone.
Out of sight, out of mind!
"Um, if there's nothing else, may I go back first?"
Nan Ge felt that it was too awkward to stay here, so she found an excuse to retreat.
"The exams are coming up soon. I have to go back and revise…"
Almost instantly, the phone in her hand unexpectedly vibrated and a special chime could be heard.
Nan Ge did not know what was going on, so she automatically checked her phone.
[Tip received. User Shen** has tipped $188. Please tap to accept the money.]
[Tip received. User Shen** has tipped $188…]
[Tip received. User Shen**…]
[…]
Nan Ge was at a loss.
Nan Ge's first reaction was to think that this was some kind of stupid scam advertisement that ran rampant online.
However, she widened her eyes and took a closer look. Hang on. This user ID seemed awfully familiar.
She could not help but look up at a certain someone beside her.
After looking at each other silently, Shen Yanqing did not feel awkward at all. f reeweb novel.com
"Only a maximum red packet of $188 for each order is allowed, so I had to split them up."
Although Shen Yanqing had never used this kind of delivery software, he learned quickly and understood it immediately.
After downloading the software that day, he understood after a simple look.
He had been ordering takeout and exploring the tip function on his own for the past few days. It was also a function he had discovered himself.
"I studied it carefully the other day. The tips should go to the rider in full without giving a cut to the app."
He tried to give her assurance.
Nan Ge looked at him in surprise and asked curiously, "Is your company planning on doing food delivery as well?"
"Huh?"
"Why else would you study this?"
"…" Shen Yanqing was at a loss.
Ever since he met Nan Ge, it was not the first time he had gone speechless thanks to her questions.
Nan Ge did not think there was anything wrong with her question.
Shen Yanqing's net worth probably started in the billions. He could earn millions or tens of millions in minutes, yet he still had the time to study take-out software.
Apart from the fact that he found a business opportunity to get involved in the food delivery industry, Nan Ge could not think of any other reasonable explanation.
Come to think of it… Nan Ge lowered her head and counted the tips she had received. There were exactly ten tips. freeweb novel. com
$1880.
"Why did you tip me so much? Are you trying to pay me back the $500?"
"Do you have to give me so much? It's starting to look like I was after your money."
Was this how rich people operated these days?
Then why did her brother not give her a single cent when she was running errands and buying things for him when she was young? Instead, he even stole the money from her piggy bank.
Was there such a big difference between people?
"It has nothing to do with the $500 you gave me." Shen Yanqing put away his phone and found a suitable reason. "Since that's the medical fee, I'll accept it first. My tips have nothing to do with the medical fees."
"Perhaps you can treat it as an acknowledgment of your work?"
"I see." Nan Ge seemed to comprehend.
Shen Yanqing made it sound so artistic, but to put it simply, it was just a tip.
She understood. However, she still felt that she shouldn't take the money.
"I've already taken commission for your orders. It's a decent sum too."
Her father had taught her since she was young that she should have a conscience and not be too greedy. It was best to know when to stop.
Although she needed the money, she could not take the money without working.
Shen Yanqing was not anxious and patiently analyzed the situation. "Since this software has such a function, it's reasonable to accept tips."
"If we throw aside our identities and treat you as a delivery man and me as a customer, it shouldn't be a problem for me to tip you, right?"
"Uh huh." Nan Ge nodded. The brainwashing had worked. "You have a point."
Seeing this, Shen Yanqing smiled in relief and changed the topic at the right time. "Let's eat. Don't you have to go back and revise later?"
——
It was not until Nan Ge drove her Lamborghini away from Huasheng Group that she realized that she had fallen into Shen Yanqing's verbal trap.
As expected, he was a businessman. Nan Ge could not help but sigh. However, even if she returned the money, Shen Yanqing would probably not accept it.
After thinking about it, she looked at the time and changed directions at the last minute.
Nan Ge drove back to Huasheng Group after leaving the counter. She was worried that she would be bewitched by Shen Yanqing if she sent the stuff in person, so she simply handed the things to the receptionist.
"Huh?" The receptionist was stunned. "Miss Nan, can't you just go up directly?"
Why did she have to pass it on her behalf?
Nan Ge leaned against the desk at the front desk and smacked her lips. "It's like this. I accidentally offended President Shen just now. It'll probably be awkward if I send it up myself. Can you call Assistant Yuan later? Just ask him to give it to President Shen."
"Pretty please! Otherwise, I won't be able to deliver food here anymore."
"Alright then." The receptionist believed her and comforted her as she took the bag. "Miss Nan, don't worry. President Shen is a good person. He won't be angry with you."
"Uh huh. Yes. He's indeed a good person."
Nan Ge supported this point with both hands.
This was the first time in her life that she had continuously felt someone was a good person.
Of course, Shen Yanqing deserved it.
"Then I'll go back to school first. Bye." Nan Ge did not stay long. She was not looking for an excuse. She really had to go back and study!
Every time this happened, she could not help but think of Shen Yanqing.
Not long after she left, the receptionist called Assistant Yuan.
Assistant Yuan went downstairs in a daze. "Didn't Miss Nan Ge leave a long time ago?"
The receptionist handed the bag to him and said, "She just came back to give something to President Shen."
Assistant Yuan looked at the logo on the bag and gasped.
Where did Nan Ge get the money from? Could this be a high-quality imitation?
"Alright, I'll give it to President Shen."
"By the way, why didn't you let her go up?" Assistant Yuan was a little puzzled.
"I already did. Miss Nan said that she had a misunderstanding with President Shen and was embarrassed to bring it to him, so she asked me to call you."
The receptionist sighed and felt sorry for Nan Ge.
"Assistant Yuan, you should put in a good word for Miss Nan. She's quite cute. Tell President Shen not to be angry with her. She was quite sad when she left just now."
"…" Assistant Yuan did not know what Nan Ge and Shen Yanqing had talked about inside. Judging from the state Nan Ge was in when she left, she was skipping around as if she had earned two million dollars. It did not seem like there was an argument between them.
What was she upset about then?
