637 The Warmth in the Light

“This is all unorthodox.” Qin Han took a sip of tea. “I feel that you have to let the user see the practical benefits.”

“What are you thinking?”

“When they buy a phone, give them a members.h.i.+p card,” Qin Han said.

“For example, if you buy a phone that supports your phone system, you can enjoy a 20% discount from the Peninsula Hotel and a yacht rental discount from w.a.n.gjiang Dock. Let them see some practical benefits. If you want to break the current phone system heirarchy, you have to spend money.”

“You have a point.”

Qin Han’s thoughts aligned with Lin Yi’s.

Now that the situation was gradually stabilizing, it was necessary to spend money to break the deadlock.

“How’s your research going? Why don’t you count us in? I’ll invest some money in you.”

“The situation is still unclear. I’ll let you know in a while.”

“Sounds like you’re screwed.”

“Yeah.”

Lin Yi looked at his watch and realized that it was already past one in the morning. It was time to go back to sleep.

“Who are you?”

Just as Lin Yi was about to leave, he suddenly heard Zhong Zhenwen shout and subconsciously looked at the door.

A hunched figure stood at the door. It was an old lady.

She had a blue scarf wrapped around her head, her face was dirty and wrinkled, and there was a linen bag beside her. She was looking into the small shop.

Lin Yi stood up and opened the door to look at the old lady.

“Old lady, what’s the matter?”

The old lady grinned. “Young man, are you the boss?”

“I am. What do you want?”

“Do you sell buns here?”

“Buns?” Lin Yi shook his head, “I don’t really sell this.”

Lin Yi knew how to make steamed buns, but it was not listed on the menu, so he usually didn’t sell them.

“Oh, then I’m sorry.”

The old lady lifted the sack and left.

“Auntie, do you want to eat?” Lin Yi asked.

“No, no, please don’t misunderstand.”

“Then why are you asking me if I have steamed buns?”

“Steamed buns are cheap.”

Lin Yi felt a little upset and lifted the sack off the old lady’s body.

“Sit in the shop for a while. I’ll make you something else. You can leave after you’re full.”

The old lady chuckled and waved at Lin Yi.

“It’s not that I don’t want to eat. I just can’t afford anything else. After all, I still have to save up for my grandson’s school fees.”

“It’s okay. This meal is on me.”

“That won’t do. It’s not easy for you to make a living either.”

“No matter how difficult it is, it doesn’t matter so long as you have a full stomach. Come in.”

Without any explanation, Lin Yi welcomed the old lady in, not giving her a chance to refuse.

The old lady walked in with a hunched back. When she saw Qin Han and the others, she did not dare to walk forward. She revealed a nervous smile and stood at the door awkwardly.

“Sorry to bother you.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Qin Han went to the bar counter and took a white gla.s.s. He poured a cup of tea for the old lady.

“Have a cup of tea to quench your thirst.”

“Thank you, thank you.”

The old lady drank her tea silently. She did not say a word, but her expression was still very uneasy. She did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Lin Yi went to the kitchen and used the newly cooked rice to make an extra portion of egg fried rice for the old lady.

“The shop will only officially open tomorrow. I don’t have much, so I can only make this for you.”

“Thank you, young man.”

“It’s fine. Eat up. If it’s not enough, let me know. I’ll make more for you.”

“Enough, enough.”

The old lady took Lin Yi’s egg fried rice and stood in the corner, not daring to make any big moves.

“Eat at the table. Why are you standing by the door?”

“I’m covered in dirt. I don’t want to dirty your shop. Besides, I smell. I’m old and shouldn’t cause anyone any trouble,” the old lady said with a smile.

“It’s fine. Since you’re here, you’re my guest. No one will think you are any trouble.”

“That won’t do. I can’t cause trouble for you either.”

“That doesn’t make sense.”

Without any explanation, Lin Yi pulled the old lady to the table.

“Thank you, young man.”

The old lady smiled at first, but as she spoke, she started crying.

“It’s my job.”

The old lady ate in silence as Lin Yi, Qin Han, and the others sat at another table.

They all looked at her silently. There was an indescribable feeling filling their hearts.

Just now in Metropolis, they had spent millions to vent their l.u.s.t with those men and women.

However, in this cold night, there were still people who were hungry to even have a steamed bun.

If not for the fact that she could not take it anymore, she would not even buy those steamed buns.

Lin Yi looked at the old lady who was wolfing down the food.

Perhaps what made her unable to control herself was not the hunger in her stomach.

Instead, it was a glimmer that seeped out of the window of the store in that lonely night.

It was a warm light, and she couldn’t help but approach it.

“Young man.”

After a few bites, the old lady stopped and looked at Lin Yi.

“Did you choke? I’ll get you some water.”

“No, no. Do you have a plastic bag here? Can I have one?”

“Packs?”

“Your egg fried rice is delicious. I want to bring some back for my grandson. Is that okay?”

“You haven’t even finished eating. How can you bring it for him?”

The old lady smiled. Lin Yi could clearly see that there were only a few teeth left in her mouth.

“I’m getting on in years. I won’t be able to eat much before I’m full. I want to bring it back for my grandson. Can I?”

“Eat more. I’ll stir-fry another serving later. You can just take that back.”

“Don’t cook anymore. I’m really full.” The old lady said, “I’ll just eat this mouthful of food, then I’ll go back and sleep. It’ll be a waste if I eat too much.”

The old lady looked at Lin Yi with hope in her eyes. “Can you let me take the rest back?”

“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll get you a plastic bag.”

“Aye, aye, thank you, lad.”

Lin Yi got up and went to the kitchen to get a new plastic bag.

At the same time, he brought over a little ham and fruit.

“Take these things back too. They’re all good stuff. They’re quite expensive outside, so take them back and try them.”

“Thank you, young man.”

The old woman wiped her tears and choked.

“Why are you crying? It’s not worth much. Go back and rest early.” Lin Yi said.

“If you’re hungry in the future, come to my shop for dinner. I’ll treat you for free. Coincidentally, there are waste cardboard boxes and plastic bottles in my shop every day. You can come and take them away then.”

“Thank you.”

The old lady didn’t say anything to thank him. She carried the things Lin Yi gave her and cried as she spoke. After calming down for a while, she left the shop.

“Old Lin, you’re really cold on the outside but kind on the inside.” Qin Han said.

“I never thought in my life that I could serve tea to someone like that.”

“You’re born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You definitely wouldn’t understand the suffering of such people.”

“Aren’t you the same?” Qin Han said.

“Although you grew up in an orphanage, you never had to worry about food and drink, right?”

“Although it was a little tough when I was young, I’ve never gone to bed hungry.” Lin Yi said.

“But as I recall, when I was in third grade, my mother also went out to pick up sc.r.a.ps. Then, she secretly bought me a hamburger because she heard that someone had mocked me for never having eaten KFC.”
