The male boss, seeing someone step up to pay for the guy, simply let go of the little boy and then turned to Zheng Tingqiang saying, "One bowl of noodles and one bowl of rice porridge, a total of five yuan!"

Since Zheng Tingqiang had said he would pay, he didn't hesitate and took out five yuan from the change he had just gotten from the female boss and handed it to the boss.

After receiving the money, the boss smiled and went back into the noodle shop.

To tell the truth, when Zheng Tingqiang first started his business, money was still quite valuable. Although it was only five yuan, it was actually a lot.

It was not easy for him to take out five yuan from the remaining 17 yuan to help the little boy pay. Moreover, Zheng Tingqiang had just experienced a business failure and was in a very bad mood.

To be able to do this was already commendable.

The reason why Zheng Tingqiang helped the little boy pay was not because he was particularly kind-hearted, but because he heard that the little boy, like himself, was also an entrepreneur, and furthermore, had failed on his first try. So this resonated with Zheng Tingqiang.

Both are wanderers at the end of the world!

This saying is deeply understood by scholars; they all know this principle very well. Zheng Tingqiang is a professor, so he understands it even better.

The scene touched something deep inside Zheng Tingqiang's heart, so he made the resolute decision to pay for the little boy without hesitation.

After paying, Zheng Tingqiang prepared to turn around and leave. But when he turned, he found the little boy standing behind him.

Logically speaking, the little boy should have left by now!

Normally, in that era, if someone helped you out of the blue, that person must be expecting something in return, because such incidents were too common back then.

So, according to the usual pattern, the little boy should have left when the male boss let him go, but he did not leave. What was he staying for?

Zheng Tingqiang looked at the little boy, shook his head, and walked away powerlessly.

Yet, even after Zheng Tingqiang had walked for more than ten minutes, he did not expect that the little boy was still following behind him.

"Little brother, why are you following me?" Zheng Tingqiang stopped and asked, although he guessed the little boy might be coming to ask him for money.

"I... I..." The little boy stammered, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

"Go ahead and talk..." Seeing the little boy like this, Zheng Tingqiang felt that he was different from the others.

"I... Big brother, thank you for paying for me..."

"No need to thank me..."

Hearing that he was only there to thank him, Zheng Tingqiang let out a sigh of relief.

"Then go on your way! I'm going back too..." said Zheng Tingqiang.

"It's like this, big brother, I have a brother who came out with me, and he's also been hungry for a few days. Can you buy another bowl of noodles for me, so I can take it back to him?" The little boy said through gritted teeth.

It seemed he also understood that his request was a bit excessive.

Zheng Tingqiang listened to the little boy's words and did not respond for a long time.

"Big brother, big brother, it's like this. That brother came out with me, and we wouldn't be like this if we hadn't run into those harmful thugs. We were doing fruit business on our own and were actually making money, but... big brother, please do me a favor and buy another bowl! I will repay you in the future..." The little boy said anxiously.

Zheng Tingqiang still did not respond.

"Big brother, if you buy a bowl for my brother, he'll have the strength to work, and then both my brother and I will look for work, and then we'll start doing business again. Believe me, I will succeed in business, by that time, I will pay you back more money. Don't look at me just failing once; I believe I will definitely succeed!"

This time, Zheng Tingqiang came back to his senses, deeply moved.

Yes! Isn't it just one failure? What of it? Everyone fails, especially since it was my first time.

Zheng Tingqiang! Where is your original ambition and determination?

The little boy is right, only with belief in oneself, there's a possibility!

"Alright, I'll buy you another bowl of noodles!"

"Thank you, big brother..."

The little boy secretly vowed in his heart that once he was capable, he would definitely repay Zheng Tingqiang.

And so, the little boy, who was Xiao Ma, built a connection with Zheng Tingqiang. Since then, Zheng Tingqiang started his business again and succeeded in no time, hence the Zheng Tingqiang of today, and the Huixiang Group as we know it.

And that little boy also believed in himself. However, he wasn't as lucky as Zheng Tingqiang, for his second business attempt was also extortioned by thugs charging protection fees. Yet he refused to be subdued, picked up a fruit knife, and took out one of the thugs.

Because he knocked off a thug, he caught the eye of the thug's boss, and Xiao Ma then embarked on the thug's path. However, he was fortunate that during another fierce fight, he was noticed by a reclusive master who took him as a disciple, teaching him a very strong skill set.

After that, Xiao Ma came to repay his debt to Zheng Tingqiang.

However, Xiao Ma only gave Zheng Tingqiang three chances to help, meaning he could only help Zheng Tingqiang three times with anything. He would be there.

The first two favors Zheng Tingqiang had used up, and now only the last one remained.

But to save his own life, Zheng Tingqiang still gritted his teeth and used this last chance to save Zhu Bufan.

After receiving the message sent by Zheng Tingqiang, Xiao Ma immediately set out and arrived at the Sheraton Hotel. With Xiao Ma's abilities, he quickly located where Zhu Bufan was. That place was in the underground parking garage.

Since he found Zhu Bufan's location, Xiao Ma quickly made his way to the underground parking garage.

When he arrived in the underground parking garage and saw Zhu Bufan engaged in a fierce battle with two burly men, Xiao Ma frowned slightly.

However, when he noticed the Qi realms of Zhu Bufan and the two burly men, he immediately began to admire Zhu Bufan.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Bufan, whose realm was clearly a notch lower than the two strong men, seemed to be holding his own, not at a disadvantage.

But Xiao Ma quickly realized that if he had not come, Zhu Bufan really might have met his end here.

Since it was entrusted by Zheng Tingqiang, Xiao Ma did not hesitate and took action immediately.

When Xiao Ma arrived in the underground parking garage, Zhu Bufan had already noticed him. Instantly his eyelids twitched, fearing that if this suddenly appearing master was sent by the Demonized Organization, it would be over.
