Gu Peng directly grabbed the arm of the man who was about to climb onto the upper bunk. The man looked back in surprise, and Gu Peng said directly, "Brother, put on your shoes, pick up your luggage, and find somewhere else."
The middle-aged man didn’t understand his words, "What do you mean by that?"
"Literal meaning, I don’t want you to stay here anymore. You can stay anywhere else, just leave here quickly."
"Hey," the middle-aged man was not having it, "How can you talk like that? I bought this bunk, and you say I can’t stay here, so I can’t? Just because you have money, it doesn’t mean you can bully people like this, right? You think less of us poor people, don’t you?"
As soon as he spoke, he stirred up class resentment, and his loud voice drew in the surrounding people’s attention.
Gu Peng didn’t explain, just directly pulled out some money from his pocket, counted out 8 banknotes, and slammed them in front of him.
"This money is for you. You can take it to the conductor and replace it with a ticket for another spot."
The middle-aged man looked at the money and immediately shut his mouth.
Despite criticizing the rich, who doesn’t like money in this world?
Just now, when he was chatting with the man on the lower bunk, Lin Chuxia heard that the place he was going wasn’t too far away, and the sleeper ticket he bought cost him 48 yuan, which he bought grudgingly.
Gu Peng gave him 80 yuan in one go.
The train had already traveled so far; even if he replaced the ticket, it wouldn’t cost 48 yuan, and he would have over 30 left.
If he switched to a hard seat or didn’t replace the ticket at all, the 80 yuan would all be his.
Such a deal anyone would understand.
The man looked at the money, eyes gleaming, but felt embarrassed to just take the money like that.
After hesitating for quite a while, he finally picked up the money and luggage, "Knowing your little couple likes to keep clean, I’ll take it as a good deed, yielding to you."
"Ehh..."
The crowd burst into laughter, some even covering their noses, as the smell on the man was really strong.
Seeing the man leave so embarrassingly, after hearing his strong words earlier, they thought there’d be a big commotion.
Now, there was nothing more to see, and those who came for the spectacle dispersed.
Lin Chuxia looked at Gu Peng with amusement, "You’re really domineering."
Just like in the past life.
Gu Peng looked at her and, for once, didn’t act like a stick in the mud, "If you’re uncomfortable, you need to find a solution. There’s still two days and nights left; how long do you plan to endure? In the future, if you’re shy about speaking up, just tell me."
Lin Chuxia looked at him, slightly stunned.
She thought that his domineering nature of always protecting her was the result of their growing friendship over time from being together day and night.
It turned out he always protected her like this.
As if it was a dominance and gentlemanliness born with him.
Seeing her not speak for a long time, Gu Peng looked over.
"What’s up? Moved already?"
Lin Chuxia smiled a bit, "A little. I only gave you an assistant’s salary, and I’m thinking whether I should give you a bodyguard’s salary too."
Gu Peng thoughtfully nodded, "That would work too, but it should definitely be higher than Wang Tianyu’s salary."
Lin Chuxia laughed even more cheerfully, "Why do you always compare with him? Both of you are equally important by my side. He doesn’t do less than you; right now in An City, he manages almost everything there."
"He’s just doing what an assistant should do. So many things just pass through his hands, and in the end, you handle it. Put me in the same position, and I’d do better than him. At least you wouldn’t have to worry so much."
Lin Chuxia thought that made sense too, considering Gu Peng’s bossy nature, Wang Tianyu had just graduated and entered society, lacking experience, and tended to ask for her opinion when handling matters.
