Chapter 756: Chapter 756: Domineering

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.

“So, can my salary be higher than his?”

Gu Peng persistently asked.

Lin Chuxia didn’t understand his obsession with this issue, as if he didn’t care about the salary amount but just whether it could be higher than Wang Tianyu’s.

Lin Chuxia recalled when she first brought Gu Peng into the company, Wang Tianyu also seemed to care a lot about Gu Peng.

Helplessly shaking her head, she always viewed Wang Tianyu as a kid, but Gu Peng was an adult and several years older than him, yet still acted like this.

A higher salary than Wang Tianyu’s was impossible. After all, Gu Peng joined later. To raise his salary above Wang Tianyu’s after just a few months wouldn’t make sense.

“I’ll send you a special bonus in a red envelope at the end of each month, as a reward for your excellent work.”

No need to go through the finance department.

Gu Peng gave a slight smile, “That works.”

This was the first time in this life Lin Chuxia saw Gu Peng smile.

From the time they met, this guy seemed guarded around her.

Even more so around others.

His face always cold, his work meticulous, and his face serious as ever.

Seeing him smile now, suddenly she saw the sight from her past life of Gu Peng always following her, with a bit of playboy charm.

“You really should smile more often; you look quite good when you smile.”

Gu Peng looked at her, “Alright, as long as you give me more privileges, I’ll smile for you.”

Lin Chuxia: “…”

If she didn’t know Gu Peng’s nature, Lin Chuxia would think she was being flirted with.

For some reason, maybe it was Gu Peng’s overbearing manner in chasing off the middle-aged man that intimidated the young couple across the aisle.

The journey following that was peaceful.

Even the four or five-year-old child didn’t make a fuss.

Lin Chuxia either read or slept at her seat, and when she was really bored, she’d play a couple of card games with Gu Peng.

Having Gu Peng, this assistant, was truly considerate.

Despite the limited conditions on the train, Gu Peng managed to get her tasty meals, hardly letting her suffer in terms of food and drink.

Even when the train’s water supply was tight, they never lacked drinking water.

Old Sir He introduced this place to her, located in the central-western part of a certain province, with a suitable climate for growing herbal medicines like Angelica, White Peony, and Fuling.

Angelica is a common Chinese medicinal herb known for enriching and invigorating blood, regulating menstruation, relieving pain, and lubricating the intestines.

White Peony is also a common blood-enriching herb known for nourishing blood, regulating menstruation, calming liver yang, softening the liver, and relieving pain.

Fuling is a common diuretic herb known for promoting urination, removing moisture, strengthening the spleen, and calming the mind.

Old Sir He is skilled in body conditioning, and the prescriptions he gave her were mostly for regulation.

Don’t underestimate the regulatory effects of these medications; traditional Chinese medicine mainly achieves therapeutic effects through regulating the body’s qi, blood, yin-yang, and organ functions.

The reason Old Sir He chose this place is that he knew some farmers here had already started planting herbal medicines.

With this foundation, it would be much easier for Lin Chuxia to establish a herbal medicine planting base.

The train wobbled on, finally arriving at the station.
