Chapter 542: The skin is really thick
Originally, Hu Mingchen and Brother Kong had their intersection here, and there would be no more relevant contact in the future. However, two days later, Fang Guoping received a call from Brother Kong.
"The boss with the mustache, surnamed Kong, called and said that he was looking for you to borrow some money, but I didn't agree, saying that I wanted to ask you what you meant. After hanging up the other party's phone, Fang Guoping reported to Hu Mingchen.
Twice I wanted to help him, but he refused, but this time he took the initiative to come to the door, it seems that he is really exhausted. Hu Mingchen said after listening.
"Then what should I do, do I help or not?" Fang Guoping couldn't figure out what Hu Mingchen meant by this.
"Help, people took the initiative this time, and I promised again, how can I break my promise. Moreover, the one surnamed Kong feels like a good person. This man is outside, who has not encountered difficulties. Hu Mingchen immediately responded.
Hu Mingchen heard the tendency to let go, and from Fang Guoping's point of view, he very much hoped that Hu Mingchen could lend a hand. Even, Fang Guoping also thought of the scene when he was in difficulty and squatted on the side of the road to find someone to borrow money, because he had a similar experience, Fang Guoping understood Brother Kong's state of mind very well.
In addition, Fang Guoping felt that Brother Kong was the same kind of person as him, judging from his eyebrows and conversation, he should also be a soldier before. That kind of comrade-in-arms affection is incomprehensible to ordinary people who are soldiers.
"That'...... Send it now?"
"Where are they? Are they in the city hospital?" Hu Mingchen asked.
"I guess he called me from a public phone at the entrance of the city hospital just now. ”
"We don't have much money on us right now, so you go to a nearby bank and withdraw 10,000 yuan. Hu Mingchen instructed.
"Ten thousand? He only said to borrow five thousand. Fang Guoping was surprised.
"Do good deeds to the end, his son is pleurisy, the illness is not light, 5,000 yuan is afraid of a drop in the bucket. And now their barbecue restaurant can't be opened, there is no financial source, and people always have to eat and drink. Hu Mingchen said in a deep voice.
When Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping came to the gate of the city hospital with the money, it was raining lightly in the sky, but Brother Kong was standing next to a newsstand, letting the rain hit his face. His angular face was tinged with melancholy and pain. His eyes were blank, staring at a tall street tree.
"Brother Kong. Hu Mingchen approached and shouted.
Hearing the voice, Brother Kong came back to his senses, and when he saw Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping, a smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I can't help it, so my eldest brother called for help and asked. Brother Kong smiled awkwardly.
Hu Mingchen handed over an envelope: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, saving people is the most important thing, this is 10,000, do you see if it's enough." ”
Hearing the number of 10,000, Brother Kong's eyebrows jumped: "If it weren't that much, 5,000 would be enough now." ”
Brother Kong didn't expect that Hu Mingchen not only borrowed money so happily, but also doubled the number, which made his heart full of emotion.
"You just take it, it's borrowing, not giving. If you have more money on you, if the hospital calls for surgery or something, you can't open the store now, but people still have to eat and drink. Hu Mingchen stuffed the envelope into Brother Kong's hand and said.
"I really didn't expect it...... Thank you, at the critical moment, it will be ...... who will reach out to help me You guys. It's okay for you to lend me so much money, right?Do your adults know?" Brother Kong finally looked at Fang Guoping, and then his eyes fell on Hu Ming's body and asked.
Although Fang Guoping is an adult, Brother Kong can see that this money should have nothing to do with him, and even from the position of the two of them, Fang Guoping has to be a little behind, so he judges that the core is Hu Mingchen. Fang Guoping is very much like a follower.
"No problem, don't worry, they don't know, because it's my money, and I don't have to tell them at all. Hu Mingchen said calmly.
Brother Kong stared at Hu Mingchen for more than ten seconds, but he found that he couldn't see through Hu Mingchen at all. A student can easily take out 10,000 yuan to borrow someone, which is a bit beyond Brother Kong's imagination. And he couldn't see the slightest trace of lying from Hu Mingchen's body, which made him feel that Hu Mingchen was really not simple.
"Then I'll thank you, you wait a minute, I'll find the store to get a pen, I'll write you an IOU, this money, I will pay you back as soon as possible." ”
"No, to be honest, if you rely on IOUs, then why lend them to you. We are not related to each other, and we don't even know what your full name is. IOUs are not necessarily useful to villains, and to gentlemen, it doesn't matter if they have IOUs or not. I believe you are, why bother with those false things. Hu Mingchen blocked Brother Kong.
"Huh. Brother Kong laughed movingly, "Okay, then I won't write it, and I, Kong Linglong, won't say those grandiose words, anyway, I have written down your great kindness today." ”
"Hehe, go to the hospital and pay for a doctor, the condition waits for no one. Hu Mingchen laughed.
Hu Mingchen likes this kind of fast-talking person, if Kong Linglong is still as pretentious as before, then Hu Mingchen will look down on him.
Kong Linglong didn't say a word, nodded at Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping, and walked towards the hospital quickly.
"Aren't you afraid that he won't pay it back?" Fang Guoping asked.
"At the beginning, did you think about not paying it back?" Hu Mingchen asked rhetorically.
"I never thought about it. Fang Guoping said.
"That's it, he's the same kind of person as you, I can see that. That's why I don't even need an IOU...... Take 10,000 steps back, even if he doesn't pay it back, it's nothing, 10,000 yuan allows me to see a person clearly, and it doesn't seem to be a loss. Hu Mingchen said.
"You just treat money like dung?" Fang Guoping asked with a smile.
"No, I'm pretty much a miser, and I value money very much. It's just that the money has to be spent to be valuable, and when you hold it in your hand, it's almost like waste paper, and it's not easy to use when you go to the toilet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have tried to make more money. Hu Mingchen shook his head and said.
Hu Mingchen's words made Fang Guoping thoughtful.
"Let's go, go after dinner, I did a good thing today, so I invite you to go and have a good meal. Seeing that Fang Guoping was thinking about his words, Hu Mingchen smiled and slapped him.
"Eat good, what's good?"
"Beef hot pot, how's that?"
"That's going to eat spicy in a dry pot, it's boring to eat clear soup, don't eat clear soup. Fang Guoping was really interested in beef hot pot and made a request.
"Whatever you want, let's go. Hu Mingchen waved his hand.
Hu Mingchen and Fang Guoping had just arrived at a spicy beef hot pot restaurant opened by outsiders and ordered the dishes, and Wang Zhan called Hu Mingchen.
"Uncle Wang, have you eaten? We're eating hot pot outside. Hu Mingchen picked up the phone and said.
"I'm also eating, I called, not to ask if you have eaten, but to tell you that Li Kaifa called me, so I hung up. Wang Zhan on the other end of the phone said.
"Li Kaifang, did you call you?" Hu Mingchen felt a little surprised.
It stands to reason that Li Kaifa called him, and Hu Mingchen also expected that they would not give up the deal. However, this time, it was a week later, and it was not at all as efficient as last time. Therefore, Hu Mingchen almost forgot about others, and thought that the possibility of a deal in that matter had decreased.
"yes, I talked to him for six or seven minutes. ”
"What did he say? Did he settle the noise in the village?" asked Hu Mingchen.
"He said he didn't have your dad's contact information, so he called me. Over there in the village, listening to his tone, he should have really been unified. What he means is, let me make an appointment with your father and your third uncle, and tomorrow afternoon he will come to the city to negotiate again, there is a little room for concession on their side, but on our side, don't be too low, so you see ......" Wang Zhan said.
"Uncle Wang, this time, I won't bother my father and my third uncle, they have only been back for a few days. Tomorrow, you and I will talk to them, and I feel that we should be able to make some progress and breakthroughs this time, and when we are almost done, we can just ask my father and them to sign an agreement document or something. "Hu Mingchen is very bold.
"Don't inform them? I'll talk to each other with you?"
"Yes, you are now the company's chief negotiator, and you can take full responsibility, hehe. Hu Mingchen said with a smile.
Wang Zhan on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then he had an epiphany: "Oh, I understand, this is also a means and way of exerting pressure, right? The chairman and general manager did not come forward, which in itself sent a signal that it was possible to talk about it or not." ”
"Hehe, I didn't think so far, Uncle Wang, you think too much. Hu Mingchen smiled happily.
"You kid, I don't know about you yet, you're too clever, they're really unlucky to meet you. ”
"Uncle Wang, you can't say that. It should be said that they were very lucky to meet me. If it weren't for that, who would have taken a fancy to them, on the surface, it seems that I am pressing them and taking advantage of them, but in fact, I am helping them get rid of poverty and become well-off. Hu Mingchen was ashamed to put gold on his face.
"Well, well, you're a good Samaritan. Then tomorrow at noon, you come to the office when you get out of school, and we will pair up first, so as not to have problems with cooperation at the time. Wang Zhan could only admire Hu Mingchen's cheekiness.
Is Hu Mingchen really thick-skinned? You can say that, but is there any truth in what he said? Actually, it is also true. If the mountaintop lake can really be developed, it will indeed play a very positive role in promoting and leading the poverty alleviation and prosperity of Sandaowan Village. There is another point, that is, Hu Mingchen really thinks so in his heart, otherwise, there are still many ways to make quick money for the time being, such as Hu Jianjun's suggestion.
"Okay, no problem, I'll be here after school. ”
