"Your grandmother is sick, then why are you in such a hurry to hang up the phone?" Ding Qingsheng asked a little confused.

Ma Xiaochao said with a depressed face: "It was an uncle from the neighbor's family who told me the news just now, he went to call me grandpa, and he asked me to fight again after five minutes." ”

Ding Qingsheng said softly: "It's okay, I believe grandma is fine." ”

Ma Xiaochao has never been able to calm down, he checks the time on his phone from time to time, these five minutes seem to him to be as long as five centuries.

When Ma Xiaochao dialed the phone again, his grandfather's old voice came from the phone.

"Xiaochao, is that you?"

"It's me, grandpa, are you okay?" Ma Xiaochao's tears overflowed his eyes.

"We're all fine, what about you, where are you now, you haven't called back for so long, you're about to die of grandparents. ”

"Grandpa, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me, but grandma, why is she sick?"

"Alas, how can an elderly person not be a little sick or something, it's okay, you don't have to hang up at home, as long as you are well, I can rest assured. ”

"Grandpa, what kind of illness does grandma have, why don't you send it to the hospital to see?"

"A little sickness, it's not in the way. Before Grandpa's words fell, the voice of the neighbor's uncle came from there.

"How can you say that your aunt is fine, you should tell the child about this, so that the child will not complain about you in the future. ”

Ma Xiaochao heard that something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, tell you the truth, is grandma very sick?"

There was a sigh on the other end of the line, followed by a heavy voice with a hint of helplessness.

"Your grandmother is indeed seriously ill, the doctor said that this disease has to rely on medicine for a long time, you know, your grandmother and I are old, and we don't have much money, how can we afford medicine, so I can only let your grandma temporarily recuperate at home, Xiaochao, if you have time, you can come back, your grandma misses you very much, she said that she hopes to see you again in her lifetime. ”

Hung up the phone, Ma Xiaochao hugged his head and cried, although Ding Qingsheng didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but from Ma Xiaochao's painful expression, he could also feel the seriousness of the matter.

Ding Qingsheng got up and came to Ma Xiaochao's side, and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Ma Xiaochao cleaned up his sadness, raised his head to look at Ding Qingsheng, and said, "Brother Sheng, my grandmother is seriously ill, I think I have to go back." ”

Ding Qingsheng hurriedly said: "What serious illness does grandma have? Where is she now, is she in the hospital?"

"No, my grandparents don't have any money, they can't afford to go to the hospital, I have to go back to that bad woman, and I hope she can pay for my grandma's medical treatment. Ma Xiaochao was about to get up and walk out as he spoke.

Ding Qingsheng grabbed Ma Xiaochao and said, "A bad woman is a bad woman, do you think she will pay?"

Ma Xiaochao seemed to have lost his mind, frantically trying to get rid of Ding Qingsheng's entanglement, he cried bitterly: "It's a big deal if I kneel down for her and beg her to pay, I will take it as if I borrowed her money, and I will slowly pay her back in the future." ”

"Then what if she doesn't lend it to you?

"I can't control it so much, I don't want my grandmother to die, she said she wants to see me. Ma Xiaochao frantically broke free, Ding Qingsheng couldn't resist it, seeing that Ma Xiaochao was about to break free, Ding Qingsheng, who didn't have time to think about it, raised his hand and slapped Ma Xiaochao, and after this slap went down, Ma Xiaochao calmed down.

"Ma Xiaochao, what's the use of you going back like this, why don't you think of a way to bring some money back? It's better to ask for others than for yourself, think about how you came out, if you go back like this, don't say that bad women look down on you, I'm afraid even you will look down on yourself at that time." Ding Qingsheng roared at Ma Xiaochao.

Ma Xiaochao almost collapsed and said: "But what can I do besides this, I don't have any skills, I can't sing, I can't play the guitar, where can I get so much money to treat my grandmother?"

Ding Qingsheng said: "If you don't want to find a way, how can you know that there is no way? You calm down first, we will definitely have a way to get money." ”

Under Ding Qingsheng's comfort, Ma Xiaochao's mood was stable, the two of them just sat down, Zhang Tianqing came out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes, he scratched his head and said: "What are you two arguing about in the morning, it's really annoying!"

When Ding Qingsheng told Zhang Tianqing what happened, Zhang Tianqing suddenly woke up from the haze, he thought about it and said, "Do you two have any good solutions?"

Ding Qingsheng shook his head and said: "In the past six months, I have only saved a few thousand yuan, which is a drop in the bucket for my grandmother's illness, how can it be of any use?"

After Ding Qingsheng finished speaking, he couldn't help but put his eyes on Zhang Tianqing's body, he smiled a little ill-intentioned and said: "Brother Qing, you have been here for several years, you should always have some savings in the past few years, or you will contribute your savings first for the sake of our brother's affection, it's a big deal that Ma Xiaochao and I will work hard and then pay you back." ”

Zhang Tianqing couldn't help but be shocked, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't have any savings, you also know that I am the master who feeds the whole family without hunger, in this high-consumption city, how can I save my little salary, and I have done my best to pay the rent." ”

Ding Qingsheng didn't believe what Zhang Tianqing said, he came to Zhang Tianqing, took advantage of the situation and hugged Zhang Tianqing's shoulders, the two of them turned their backs, Ding Qingsheng said in a low voice: " Brother Qing, don't lie to me, just because you are the master who feeds the whole family without hunger, so your money must be saved, don't worry, this money will be regarded as if I borrowed you, if Ma Xiaochao doesn't pay it back, I'll pay it back, you know, the champion of the singing talent has a bonus of 100,000 yuan, it's a big deal that I work hard, write a song, and then compose the music with my heart, maybe I can get a championship back, and then I won't even be able to use up the principal and interest to you. ”

Zhang Tianqing frowned, and said thoughtfully: "What if you can't win the championship? Isn't my money just wasted? Do you know how difficult it is for me to save so much money? Those money are my wife, and I count on them to marry my daughter-in-law." ”

Ding Qingsheng smiled and said: "If I can't win the championship, it's a big deal that I'll work in this bar for the rest of my life to pay off my debts, besides, Brother Qing, you don't have confidence in me like this." ”

Zhang Tianqing pouted and said, "I think it's better to forget it, just the wages of the two of you will not be paid off until the Year of the Monkey." ”

Ding Qingsheng said with some displeasure: "Brother Qing, then you can't see death without help." ”

Zhang Tianqing said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I have another way. ”

Ding Qingsheng frowned and said, "What else can you do?"

Zhang Tianqing smiled mysteriously and said, "We can go to Boss Yu to advance wages." ”

"How much can I advance even if I advance my salary?" Ding Qingsheng said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Tianqing patted Ding Qingsheng's shoulder with his backhand and said: "Now you are a celebrity, with you singing in the bar, you will definitely attract a lot of customers, you are the mobile advertising card, so that the business in the bar will not be much better, I believe that Boss Yu will take a fee in advance for your face." ”

"Will it be? Like you said, it's still unknown whether I can win the championship, and Boss Yu will exercise this power in advance?"

Zhang Tianqing smiled and said: "Please remove the word "yes", it will be, rest assured, as long as you threaten him with resignation, it will work, if you don't believe it, you will know when you walk out of this house, now I don't know how many bars outside are waiting for you This piece of fat, you are the walking cornucopia, no matter which bar you are in, this bar will definitely be prosperous." ”

Ding Qingsheng scratched his head and said, "However, wouldn't it be too inappropriate for me to do this, if Boss Yu hadn't taken me in, maybe I'd still be wandering around now." ”

"Oh, now you shouldn't be thinking about this matter, besides, I'm not really letting you leave, just as a reason to exchange money, you look at Ma Xiaochao's sad face, you can't bear to abandon him." ”

Ding Qingsheng turned his head to look at the frustrated Ma Xiaochao, and then looked at Zhang Tianqing, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Qing, why did you grow so fast as soon as you mentioned money, you still know that this is for Ma Xiaochao, you have chosen to stand by and watch, but let me go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, you can really do it." ”

Zhang Tianqing smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

THE LATTER BAR WAS BUSTLING WITH PEOPLE HAVING A LIVELY DISCUSSION ABOUT YESTERDAY'S GAME.

"Hey, hey, did you say that Zhang Xinsheng's invitation was stolen by Wu Wei?

"I think eighty percent of it was stolen by Wu Wei, just his broken voice, what is the material for singing, if it weren't for the face of the business boss, where would our boss let him be a resident singer. ”

"Yes, yes, look at it, since Zhang Xinsheng became the lead singer, how many people have ordered Wu Wei's songs, besides, Wu Wei has always been at odds with Zhang Xinsheng, even if Zhang Xinsheng doesn't have the same knowledge as Wu Wei, it is impossible to give him the invitation, right?"

"But how did Wu Wei steal it? He wouldn't have gone to Zhang Xinsheng's residence and climbed through the window to steal it. ”

"It's not certain, Wu Wei has the means, as long as he wants something, there is nothing he can't get!"

"What are you all doing here, don't you go to work, it's cool to talk about others behind your back, believe it or not, I let people pull out your tongue!"

While everyone was talking, Wu Wei stood in front of the bar with a cold face and yelled at everyone.

Together, his voice immediately frightened everyone away.

"I said Wu Wei, why are you so angry, they are telling the truth without adding any fiction, can it still make you angry to tell the truth?" Zhang Tianqing, who came later, couldn't help but smile a little sarcastically.

Wu Wei turned around and glanced at Zhang Tianqing, but he didn't say anything, he leaned in front of the bar and inspected the corners of the bar without smiling, so as to avoid the eyes of the three people.

Zhang Tianqing also had no intention of having a war of words with Wu Wei, he walked straight to the stairs on the first floor, and said to Sister Mei standing at the top of the stairs with a smile: "Big beauty, is Boss Yu here today?"

Sister Mei said without a smile: "What are you looking for Boss Yu for? He went on a business trip after watching the freshman game yesterday, and I'm afraid he won't come back in a few days." ”

"On a business trip?" Zhang Tianqing muttered to himself, he frowned and said, "How can he go on a business trip? What if he goes on a business trip to Ma Xiaochao's grandmother?"

Zhang Tianqing didn't speak loudly, but Sister Mei could still hear what he said clearly.

Sister Mei only felt funny, so she said: "Zhang Tianqing, what does Boss Yu have to do with Ma Xiaochao's grandmother when he can't go on a business trip?"

"You don't know, his grandmother is seriously ill and urgently needs an expense, so I am here to advance some money to the boss on behalf of Shengzi to see if I can solve Ma Xiaochao's urgent need. Zhang Tianqing paused, and continued with some disappointment, "This Boss Yu is also really, he doesn't go on a business trip early or late, but he is on a business trip at this time, what can I do?"

Sister Mei frowned, she looked towards the door of the bar, Ding Qingsheng was comforting Ma Xiaochao, and the eyes of the two were still looking this way from time to time, Sister Mei said thoughtfully: "Or, let Ma Xiaochao wait first, maybe Boss Yu will come back tomorrow?"

Zhang Tianqing sighed to himself and said, "This can only be the case." ”

When Zhang Tianqing told the two people the news, Ma Xiaochao had already burst into tears, and Ding Qingsheng couldn't find words of comfort, he wanted to ask Zhang Tianqing for help again, but when he thought of Zhang Tianqing's undoubted attitude, he decided to give up.

Tonight, Ma Xiaochao didn't work, he went home alone, he said he wanted to be alone, but when Ma Xiaochao was silent in a one-person world, a quick knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Ma Xiaochao was like a walking corpse, he opened the door suddenly, but who knew that the person outside the door surprised Ma Xiaochao, because the person outside the door was Wu Wei.

Ma Xiaochao didn't want to deal with him, so he wanted to close the door directly, but Wu Wei actually put one foot into the door and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be like this, I came to you to help you, don't close the door." ”

Ma Xiaochao said angrily: "I don't need your help in anything, I hope you don't come to me again in the future." ”

Wu Wei said unrelentingly: "Don't don't, I really have to help you sincerely, I know everything about you, do you want to watch your grandmother being tortured by illness like this?"

As soon as he heard this, Ma Xiaochao lost his temper, he no longer resisted, but said angrily: "Say, do you want me to help you again." ”

Wu Wei frowned, and said with a wicked smile: "Actually, it's very simple, I just want the lyrics and music written by Ding Qingsheng, as long as you can get these two things, I will give you 50,000 yuan in this bank card." ”

Looking at Wu Wei's hippie smiling face, Ma Xiaochao couldn't help but look disgusted and said, "Goodbye!"

As he spoke, Ma Xiaochao stepped on Wu Wei's foot fiercely, Wu Wei was in pain and withdrew his foot, and Ma Xiaochao closed the door and closed Wu Wei out.

However, Wu Wei did not leave, he shouted through the door panel: "Ma Xiaochao, I came to you with sincerity, you also know, your grandmother's illness can't be delayed, and Boss Yu doesn't know when he will come back, I can pay you a deposit of 10,000 yuan first, and after the matter is completed, I will give you a lot of the remaining 40,000." ”

Ma Xiaochao leaned his back on the door panel, Wu Wei's voice stimulated his brain, now he urgently needs this money, but he can't do anything sorry for Ding Qingsheng, if he does what Wu Wei said, what is the difference between him and a livestock.

Wu Wei's voice came again.

"Ma Xiaochao, let me tell you the truth, I have already found Ding Qingsheng, and I also told him this proposal, as long as he writes a song for me, I will give him the money, and then you can use the money to save your grandmother, but, do you know what he said, he said, I would rather watch your grandmother die of illness than use the songs he wrote in exchange for this money, do you think such a person is worth helping him?"

Wu Wei didn't wait for Ma Xiaochao's response after shouting, looking at the quiet door panel, Wu Wei was a little depressed, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, the door actually opened.

Ma Xiaochao stared at Wu Wei with a cold gaze and said, "What you said is true?"

Wu Wei hurriedly said: "Of course, you can give me the bank card number, and I will immediately transfer you 10,000 yuan to show my sincerity." ”

Ma Xiaochao sneered and said, "No, I mean what Brother Sheng said is true?"

Wu Wei was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but raise his hand and scratch his head, and said: "Can this still be fake? You know, I just need him to write a song, who else can I find if I don't discuss this matter with him, what I said just now is still relatively tactful, and what he said is even more ugly." ”

Ma Xiaochao said expressionlessly: "Okay, deal!"
