Chapter Seventy-Six: Repentance
In Tang Xin's mind, even if Huang Zhixin really wanted to commit suicide, he would definitely close the shutter of the store in the dead of night.
Therefore, when he saw Huang Zhixin walking into the inner room with a suicide note, he didn't care at first, his eyes looked at the other side, waiting for Huang Zhixin to come out.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, there has been no movement on the other side.
Seeing this situation, an ominous thought suddenly popped up in Tang Xin's mind, shouted "not good", jumped up from the seat, and rushed to the opposite side quickly.
After entering Gu Xinzhai, Tang Xin faintly heard a "bang" sound in the room, as if a stool had fallen to the ground.
"I've been hanged!"
Tang Xin flashed this thought in his mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he kicked open the door that was hidden inside, and rushed in to take a look, only to see Huang Zhixin's body hanging in the air, kicking and kicking with his feet, and instinctively making a final struggle.
Tang Xin hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Huang Zhixin's waist from below, and lifted it up vigorously to prevent him from suffocating. Fortunately, he is very tall and has great strength, and he can effortlessly lift Huang Zhixin's body over the rope sleeve and free his neck.
Then, he hooked the kicked chair with his toes, raised his legs to step on, stood on the chair, untied the rope around Huang Zhixin's neck, and jumped down with him.
"Master, why are you suffering? I remember a few years ago, when you lost a lot of money on stones, you were quite optimistic, and often said to me and Minmin: There is no endless road to heaven, it is better to die than to live, as long as I am still here, there will be a time to make a comeback—have you forgotten these words?"
Tang Xin choked up and persuaded Huang Zhixin, and his eyes gradually turned red.
Huang Zhixin glanced at him with a godless gaze, and said with tears: "Why are you saving me? Min Min is gone, Gu Xinzhai is gone, what is the point of me living?"
Tang Xin was silent for a moment and asked, "Master, why don't you ask me for help?" Last time I bought Dexin Zhai, you witnessed it with your own eyes, and you know that I have the ability to help you, why would you rather commit suicide than go to me?"
Huang Zhixin's face showed a look of surprise, shook his head and said: "I did such a stupid thing, kicked you out of the store, forced Min Min away, I guess you must hate me to the core, why are you embarrassed to go to you? Isn't it interesting to go to ask for yourself? I have nothing now, and I am forced to work in my own shop to pay off my debts, I can't bear such humiliation, you still let me die!"
As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but was hugged by Tang Xin.
"Master, is the person who bought your shop named Wang Xin? Did he buy all your debts at the same time?"
Huang Zhixin listened to his strange question, immediately stopped struggling, looked at him with surprised eyes, and asked, "How do you know?"
Tang Xin didn't answer his words, took out the five IOUs from his trouser pocket, handed them to him, and asked, "Look, is this the IOU issued by you?"
Huang Zhixin took the IOU and looked at it, his face flashed with great surprise, and he looked at Tang Xin, who was silent, for a long time, before he asked suspiciously: "Why did these IOUs get to you?"
Tang Xin said according to the pre-conceived rhetoric: "Wang Xin is a friend of my partner Huang Jianjian, and he wants to buy Gu Xinzhai to run antiques. Mr. Huang knew about my relationship with you and told me about it. I asked him to come forward and persuade Wang Xin not to buy your store and resell all the IOUs to me. Wang Xin agreed, and these IOUs arrived in my hands. ”
Huang Zhixin's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What do you want to do with these IOUs after you buy them?" Just like Wang Xin, do you want me to work in the store for you to pay off your debts?"
Tang Xin shook his head and said, "No." Gu Xinzhai is still yours, and you manage it yourself. As for your debt of more than 7 million yuan, it is now owed to me. If you run it well and the store makes money, you can pay off your debts slowly. If the market is bad and the store loses money, I won't force you. But there's one thing: you must never gamble on stones again. If I know that you are going to gamble again, then I will immediately take back Gu Xinzhai, and you will really have to work for me to pay off my debts in the future!"
Huang Zhixin heard Tang Xin say that Gu Xinzhai was still his, thinking that he was dreaming, he subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and thought that he had heard it wrong, so he raised his hand and touched his ears.
When he was sure that he was not dreaming and that there was nothing wrong with his ears, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up, looked at Tang Xin with wide eyes, and asked in a trembling tone: "Really? Gu Xinzhai will still be mine in the future? No one will ask me for debts anymore?"
Tang Xin nodded solemnly and said, "Of course it's true." However, there is one thing I have to tell you: I am not doing this for you, but for Minmin. I hope you will run the store in a down-to-earth manner in the future, and if you encounter difficult problems in trading, you can ask me for help. I don't dare to guarantee other aspects, but in terms of identifying the authenticity of antique calligraphy and paintings, I am completely sure, so that you can be less deceived and more missing. As long as the store is run well and life is settled, I believe that Min Min will come back sooner or later. ”
Huang Zhixin listened to him with tears in his eyes, and said in a choked voice: "Xiao Tang, I remember all your words." Thank you for giving me a path of regeneration. As for you and Minmin, I can't regret it now. I will find a way to get Min Min back so that you can get married as soon as possible. In the future, Gu Xin Zhai and De Xin Zhai will join forces, plus your craftsmanship, and the business will definitely be prosperous and prosperous. ”
Tang Xin nodded and said, "I also look forward to Minmin's early return." In addition, the matter between me and Minmin, although you are at fault, but Dai Xiaojun, that bastard, is the initiator, and I will never spare him. ”
At the end of the sentence, a spark of anger flashed in his eyes.
Huang Zhixin said a little ashamedly: "Xiao Tang, in fact, I already knew that Dai Xiaojun was cunning and insidious, and had bad intentions, but at that time I had already boarded his thief ship, and there was no way out. He kept threatening me with the debt I owed him, saying that if Min Min didn't associate with him, he would arrange someone to collect the debt, and he would take my shop, and I was forced to be helpless!"
Tang Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about these past events anymore, now that you can see Dai Xiaojun's face clearly, you can just guard against him in the future." ”
Huang Zhixin nodded, hesitated, and asked in an inquiring tone: "Xiao Tang, after Jin Deman sold the store to you last time, he came to my store and praised you, saying that you have very magical treasure appreciation skills. What the hell is going on? Can you tell me a little bit about that?"
Tang Xin smiled: "I'm sorry, this is my personal privacy, and it's also my survival skill, so I can't easily tell others the mystery." I can assure you, though: I didn't learn this skill from you. ”
Huang Zhixin smiled wryly and said, "I know this. If I had a magical skill like yours, why would I be in such a mess as I am now?, still, I'm curious, can you find something to show me and open my eyes?"
