Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 237 Temporary Custody

Ma Junjie nodded firmly to Liu Xiaoshan, who silently took the money back.

"Thank you... thank you, General Manager Jiang! Thank you, Assistant Wang! Thank you, Captain Ma!" Liu Xiaoshan said, tears streaming down his face, falling onto the money.

"I...I've never seen so much money in my life."

Wang Shiyi took one look and laughed, her smile clearly showing disdain and contempt.

She offered a few polite words of comfort, then told Liu Xiaoshan to take good care of his injury, before handing the briefcase back to Ma Junjie.

"Goodbye, Captain Ma!"

Wang Shiyi gave Ma Junjie a meaningful smile.

She turned around, wearing high heels, and gracefully left the ward, swaying her hips.

Only Ma Junjie and Liu Xiaoshan remained by the hospital bed, and the air became quiet for a moment.

Ma Junjie watched as Liu Xiaoshan carefully rubbed the money repeatedly, feeling a mix of emotions.

He couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoshan, why are you so happy to have received these 20,000 yuan?"

Liu Xiaoshan raised his tear-streaked face and said, choking back tears,

"Brother Jie, you...you don't know this. This money didn't come easily!"

"Back in the team, one of the brothers had his leg broken by Zhang Qiang and his ear cut off. In the end, the company just said, 'Those who fight are responsible for their own actions,' and kicked him out without paying him a single penny."

"I thought I would end up like this, but I never expected... I never expected to get so much money."

Liu Xiaoshan paused, then lowered his head, his voice trembling with emotion.

"And another thing is... my mother is sick at home and is waiting for money for surgery. I've been working away from home for so long and haven't sent a single penny back. I feel really guilty about it."

"Now that I have this 20,000 yuan, I can take some time to go back and see her, get her medical treatment, and also get some rest for myself."

As Ma Junjie listened, he felt as if something had clenched his heart, leaving him with a bitter and astringent feeling.

Just as he was about to say something, Liu Xiaoshan suddenly pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket, about ten thousand yuan, and handed it to Ma Junjie.

"Brother Jie, here's ten thousand yuan!"

"I know you must have helped me a lot to get this money, otherwise it would never have been possible!"

"I, Liu Xiaoshan, will remember this kindness for the rest of my life."

Seeing Liu Xiaoshan's sincere and grateful eyes, Ma Junjie's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

He abruptly turned his head away, forcing back his tears, and pushed the money back.

"Xiaoshan, keep this money for yourself. Getting your mother treated is the most important thing. I haven't helped much, so this is what you deserve."

Liu Xiaoshan wanted to insist, but Ma Junjie waved his hand, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Stop nagging and focus on recovering. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, feel free to contact me."

Seeing Ma Junjie's resolute attitude, Liu Xiaoshan nodded heavily and carefully put the money away, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

Ma Junjie was filled with mixed emotions.

He looked at Liu Xiaoshan's eyes, which were wrapped in gauze, and then at the heavy briefcase in his hand, feeling that the 60,000 yuan was incredibly heavy.

He couldn't stay any longer and said to Liu Xiaoshan,

"Xiaoshan, get some rest. I'm leaving now. If you ever go back to your hometown, be sure to let me know."

Liu Xiaoshan nodded quickly.

"Okay, Brother Jie, don't worry, I will definitely tell you."

Ma Junjie picked up his briefcase, turned around, and quickly walked out of the ward.

The moment the ward door closed, he let out a long sigh.

People came and went in the corridor, each one hurrying along, but the briefcase in his hand seemed to hold a heavy secret, making it hard for him to breathe.

He looked up at the window at the end of the corridor. The sunlight outside was blinding. He knew that from today onwards, some things could never be the same again.

This deal between him and Wang Shiyi is just the beginning. In the future, there will probably be more unbelievable and astonishing things waiting for him.

Ma Junjie quickly went down the stairs.

The money in his briefcase was too conspicuous and inconvenient, so to avoid any further trouble, he decided to deposit it first.

Of course, storing it doesn't mean I pocketed it.

Regardless of whether Wang Shiyi appeared before or after her appearance,

Ma Junjie's resolve has never wavered.

He firmly believes that the compensation money for Liu Xiaoshan is intended for Liu Xiaoshan.

No matter how much or how little, he would never secretly possess it.

He was only doing it in front of Wang Shiyi to play along and put on an act.

He also knew that giving such a large sum of cash directly to Liu Xiaoshan was definitely not an option now.

Firstly, Liu Xiaoshan might not accept it.

Secondly, keeping the money with Liu Xiaoshan is extremely unsafe.

So Ma Junjie came up with the idea of ​​keeping the money for Liu Xiaoshan for the time being.

We will transfer the money to Liu Xiaoshan when he is discharged from the hospital and returns home.

With these thoughts in mind, Ma Junjie had already reached the bank entrance outside the hospital.

He went into the bank to deposit money.

A dozen minutes later, all 60,000 yuan was deposited into his bank card.

Ma Junjie's anxiety gradually subsided.

He walked out of the bank, ready to return to Blue Moon.

Just as I stepped outside, the phone rang.

Ma Junjie took out his phone and looked at it.

Upon looking at the screen, I saw that the caller ID showed Liu Bingbing.

Ma Junjie paused for a moment, then remembered that Liu Bingbing had called him not long ago.

I wasn't in the mood then, so I just hung up on her.

Who knew that Liu Bingbing would call again?

Ma Junjie felt a little sorry for Liu Bingbing, so he cleared his throat and answered the phone.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Bingbing's familiar voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Jay, why are you so annoying? You won't even answer my calls!"

"Brother Jie, tell me quickly, where are you right now?"

"I need to speak with you..."

As Liu Bingbing was speaking, she suddenly stopped, perhaps realizing that Ma Junjie might be at work.

Ma Junjie smiled.

"Hehe, Bingbing, I'm sorry, I was really busy and didn't answer your call."

"But for now, I'm fine."

"Bingbing, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Liu Bingbing became somewhat agitated upon hearing Ma Junjie's words.

"Brother Jie, quick, it's good you're alright!"

"Where are you? I'm coming to find you. I have something amazing to show you, a huge surprise!"

"Oh?" Ma Junjie asked, puzzled.

But then he thought to himself, Liu Bingbing has always been quirky and clever, so she's probably just joking with me.

Ma Junjie smiled calmly.

"Bingbing, how about this, tell me where you are, and I'll come find you."

Liu Bingbing chuckled.

"Sure!"

"Brother Jie, I'm at home, hurry up, come over here!"

"I...I can't wait any longer, hurry up!"
