According to the information on the business card, this middle-aged man was Shen Guofu, the general manager of Fuqiang Construction.
Fuqiang Construction was a local real estate giant with business operations throughout the entire city.
In comparison, Tangren Catering was a lesser entity.
Wu Tian found it unbelievable that he had actually helped such a prominent figure.
However, Wu Tian was never one to curry favor with powerful people.
So, after his initial surprise, he shook his head and smiled, "No need, Mr. Shen. It was just a small gesture on my part, you don't need to take it to heart."
Shen Guofu was surprised. He was a major figure in this county, and many people racked their brains trying to get on his good side.
Yet, this young man in front of him wasn't seeking any advantage from his influence. It seemed this young man was truly outstanding.
He had already taken a liking to Wu Tian, and now he admired him even more.
He insisted, "I'm a man who always repays kindness. If you don't give me your contact information today, I might not be able to sleep."
Wu Tian knew that Shen Guofu was exaggerating.
However, seeing Shen Guofu's persistence, he couldn't say much more and ended up giving him his contact information.
Afterward, Wu Tian didn't linger and soon left the place.
Wu Tian took a bus, planning to transfer at the station.
As soon as he got on the bus, he saw a beautiful woman sitting inside.
The woman appeared to be around his age, dressed exquisitely, with exceptional looks and figure. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was radiant.
Although Wu Tian couldn't identify any specific brands, he could tell from his intuition that the clothes the girl was wearing were expensive, likely belonging to a wealthy young lady.
He wondered why such a pampered daughter of a rich family would be taking a bus.
Wu Tian was a little puzzled but didn't think much of it, finding a seat at random.
When the bus reached the next stop, a migrant worker got on.
The migrant worker had some dust on him, looking like he had just come from a construction site.
Seeing the empty seats in the bus, the migrant worker hesitated but didn't sit down.
He probably felt that he was covered in dust and didn't want to dirty the bus seats.
Just as the bus started moving, the elegantly dressed girl let out a disgusted exclamation.
"Hey! Who let you on!"
The migrant worker froze. When he saw the girl's expensive attire, a sense of inferiority immediately surfaced in his eyes.
His already evasive gaze became even dimmer, and he became more timid and hesitant.
"W-what's wrong?" he asked, trembling slightly.
The girl crossed her arms, pouted, and said, "Look how dirty you are. Didn't you notice the whole carriage started to smell when you came in?"
"It's one thing to be messy yourself, but can't you avoid affecting others?"
Upon hearing this, the migrant worker's sallow, dry face immediately turned red.
He stammered, "Uh, I just finished work. Please be understanding."
The girl acted unreasonable, glaring and saying, "Understanding what? I'm understanding of you, but are you understanding of me?"
"Let me tell you, people like you shouldn't appear in public places. You're so annoying!"
"You should get off quickly. I'm practically suffocating!"
The girl's words were so blunt that the migrant worker's neck turned red.
He had wanted to retort, but he knew he couldn't afford to offend her, so he remained silent.
The girl continued to lecture, "The next stop is coming up soon. Remember to get off quickly."
"Honestly, I wasn't happy to begin with, and seeing you made me even unhappier."
"Why do laborers like you come into the city? You're polluting the city air, can you take responsibility for that?"
"I hate people like you the most. No manners, selfish, it's truly detestable."
Hearing the girl's continuous stream of insults, the migrant worker felt as if his heart had been twisted into a knot.
His already meager self-esteem was pulled out, thrown on the ground, and trampled upon. He felt like he didn't want to live anymore.
The bus stopped at the side of the station. Unable to bear the humiliation, the migrant worker quickly tried to get off.
But at that moment, a voice called out to him, "Wait a moment! You don't have to get off!"
The migrant worker looked over and saw Wu Tian standing up.
Wu Tian walked over, patted his shoulder, "Brother, you've worked hard. Take my seat. Don't mind this ill-mannered woman."
The girl immediately exploded upon hearing this.
She yelled at Wu Tian coquettishly, "Who are you calling an ill-mannered woman? What do you mean by that!"
Wu Tian looked at her coldly, "I'm talking about you. You're dressed so beautifully, but your heart is so wicked. Is no one at home to discipline you?"
Wu Tian's words were quite harsh. He was usually very polite to girls.
But this girl was too much. He had tolerated it as much as he could, and when he finally couldn't stand it, he stepped forward to speak.
The girl, accustomed to being pampered and having people treat her with courtesy, had never experienced such an insult.
She said angrily, "Are you crazy?"
"What business is it of yours? Who gave you the right to butt in?"
Wu Tian replied, "I just can't stand you being so arrogant. What's wrong with migrant workers? Wasn't it migrant workers who built your house?"
"If you can't be understanding, at least don't speak so maliciously. I think you have a heart of a viper!"
"You!" The girl's pretty face turned red with anger. "What are you talking about, you scoundrel! You're slandering me!"
"Looking at you, you must be a migrant worker too, right?"
"You lower-class people dare to speak to me, an upper-class person, like this!"
"Do you know who my father is? Believe it or not, I'll have my dad make it so you can't stay here!"
Wu Tian said coldly, "I don't care who your father is, but I must tell you, your behavior is despicable!"
"Ask everyone here, is there anyone who can stand you?"
The girl retorted, "What a joke! You bunch of lower-class people taking the bus, you expect me to care if you can stand me?"
"Let me tell you, it's your honor to be able to sit in the same car as me!"
"If my driver hadn't had a last-minute issue today, you wouldn't even be worthy of seeing me normally!"
The surrounding passengers, who initially preferred to mind their own business, became enraged upon hearing the girl's words.
"Young lady, how can you speak like that? We didn't bother you, and you're still being so aggressive?"
"Exactly, that migrant worker brother was fine. He didn't smell at all."
"On the other hand, your mouth is full of foulness. You truly have no manners!"
"If my daughter were like this, I'd beat her to death!"
The crowd grew increasingly angry, looking as if they were about to resort to physical action.
Even the driver joined in, scolding the girl, "You're so impolite! Get off the bus! I won't carry passengers like you!"
