"I'm afraid if you see the money, you'll think I'm bribing you, and then in a fit of anger, you'll take back the opportunity you gave me. I'll just give it to you later."
"Money?" Mr. Liu didn't expect it to really be money in there.
"Yes, Wang Yafei found me last night and wanted to give me a consultation fee. I believe this money acknowledges our abilities, so I shouldn't refuse it. But now I don't have a license, and taking it is like practicing medicine without a license, so I want to give it to you."
So that's what it was, Mr. Liu nodded, took the envelope, opened it, and his brow furrowed again.
"Why ask for so much?"
"... This is already a lot? No wonder you've been researching all your life and still live in a shared apartment."
"I do have a house, but I sold it — return all of this, and leave the remaining amount for your senior brothers and sisters as research funds. This is for you."
Mr. Liu took out 20 yuan from his pocket, and Qian was on the verge of tears.
