Chapter 61: The Debt Collector Comes

Mu Xiaoli and I take turns to take care of Lin Xiaoran at night, and my parents also take turns to take care of Lin Xiaoran during the day, Lin Xiaoran has a bed in his office, and I live in a hotel when I am not in the hospital.

On this day, I was sitting at the cash register of the hotel and whispered to the cashier Xiao Guo about the wedding banquet the next day, and Manager Liu was very flamboyant and directing the staff to do this and that.

Mu Xiaoli's younger brother Mu Xiaobing also pointed fingers on the side, showing that he was also very important in the hotel.

Mu Xiaobing is a twenty-eight or nine-year-old young man, he has seen it a few times before, a white and clean face, thin and tall, a pair of big black and white eyes are very flexible, working in a trading company, their parents used to be employees of a foreign trade company, and now they are retired.

In the past, the foreign trade company was a very popular unit, and because it was a "provincial capital"

The people of the Mu family, especially the Mu Xiaobing, are very "rural" to us.

People can't see it, so although our two families are in-laws, they have very little contact, and from Mu Xiaoli's daily nagging, we know that her younger brother and brother-in-law are calculating to get money from his parents all day long.

Mu Xiaoli is not a person who is willing to suffer in money, because her parents are partial to Mu Xiaobing, which makes Mu Xiaoli feel very uncomfortable, and the sister and brother quarrel at the end of three days, but there are only two sisters and brothers in the family, and it will not take long to reconcile, in fact, the relationship between the two sisters and brothers is not bad, to put it bluntly, it is all about money.

Since the day I arrived at the hotel, Mu Xiaobing took his daughter-in-law to inspect the hotel, pulled Manager Liu to ask this and that, and then told me that he was going to take a few days off to help the hotel, I smiled indifferently and said: "Whatever"

After Lin Xiaoran was hospitalized, he said that he was busy with work and went to the hospital to show up, but now he said that he wanted to ask for leave to help, I know that this must be discussed between him and Mu Xiaoli, for fear that I will take advantage of the hotel.

Because there was a wedding banquet the next day, Manager Liu was arranging people to add tables in the hall, Mu Xiaobing also commanded the employees to do this and that, but he didn't move a finger, sometimes Manager Liu commanded people to do this and he commanded people to do that, and the employees looked at him sideways and didn't buy his account, I watched him bluff and point fingers to attract people and couldn't help but shake my head.

When I was in the hotel, except for helping to do the work and checking the accounts, all the affairs were arranged by Manager Liu and Manager Zhang, and I never intervened.

While the two of them were shouting five or six, a tall man in his forties led in with five or six young men in their twenties, and they stood in the middle of the hall and looked around with an unkind look, and it was not yet time to eat, and I felt that they did not look like they had come to eat, so I kept looking at them vigilantly and guessing their intentions.

Manager Liu greeted him at this time and asked with a smile, "Are you here to order food?" ”

The man in his forties looked at Manager Liu with a strained face and said, "Are you in charge here?" ”

"I'm the manager here, my surname is Liu"

Manager Liu nodded and said.

The man said: "We are not here to eat, we are here to ask for accounts, you Mr. Lin have not paid off the money owed to me, we are here to ask for money"

Manager Liu was stunned for a while and said, "Our Mr. Lin had a car accident and is still in the hospital."

"I know that, so we're here"

The man glared at Manager Liu and said sharply.

Manager Liu had come to his senses at this time, looked at me and Mu Xiaobing and said, "I'm just the manager of the hotel, and I don't know what Mr. Lin owes."

I have been standing silently in the cash register, seeing Mu Xiaobing trembling and trying to escape, I thought: What a straw bale that is strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

Seeing that they had been standing there in a stalemate, the young men stared at Manager Liu with an aggressive posture, so they walked over and said to Manager Liu: "Manager Liu, everyone who comes is a guest, let everyone sit down and talk."

Manager Liu looked at me and said to the group, "If there is anything, everyone sit down and say."

I took the lead and sat down at a table, and Manager Liu also asked the group of people to sit down, I saw that Mu Xiaobing hesitated and didn't want to sit, so I said to him: "You come and sit down."

When Mu Xiaobing saw that I named him to come and sit and knew that he couldn't hide, he came over and sat down slowly, and I pointed to Mu Xiaobing, who was in his forties, and said: "He is Mr. Lin's brother-in-law, and now he is in charge here, you ask him what to do about this."

I know that when I say this, I will push Mu Xiaobing to the cusp, and I want to see this "straw bag"

In the end, there are a few catties and taels, and I will take the opportunity to completely send him out of the hotel, don't block and scratch here.

When the man heard me say this, he immediately turned his eyes to him, and the rest of the people also looked at him, Mu Xiaobing's already white face turned even whiter at this time, and he looked at the man with a little trembling voice and asked, "How much does Mr. Lin owe you?" ”

"He still owes us 860,000"

Mu Xiaobing swallowed his saliva and cleared his throat, looked at me and said to the man: "I don't know what my brother-in-law owes you money, it has nothing to do with my sister, my sister doesn't owe you money, she has a job and has always earned her own money to spend, borrowing money is Lin Xiaoran's own business"

Saying that, he pointed at me and said, "She is Lin Xiaoran's sister, what should I do if I owe money, you ask her"

The eyes of the group immediately turned to me, and I looked at Mu Xiaobing with a smile and said, "What, you don't care about your brother-in-law's affairs, and you don't plan to take care of the hotel's affairs?" ”

"I didn't say I wanted to take care of it, I just came to help"

Mu Xiaobing hurriedly said.

"Look, you can't help here, it's better to do your own thing, you go and do your own business now, you don't have to worry about things here"

I smiled at him.

Mu Xiaobing stood up with a sigh of relief and prepared to leave, and the middle-aged man also stood up and asked sharply, "Where are you going?" ”

The young people who came with him also stood up together, and Manager Liu also stood up in fright, these people thought that I was deliberately taking the person in charge away.

Mu Xiaobing looked at me with a pale face, and I said indifferently to the middle-aged man: "He has already said that the matter here has nothing to do with him, you just let him go, is it possible that you still want to kidnap the ticket?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at me and Mu Xiaobing's frightened appearance, snorted and said, "You go, on the contrary, the monk can't run away from the temple."

Then he sat down, and everyone else sat down.

Mu Xiaobing left the hotel as if he had fled, and he no longer had the arrogant look he had just now.

Looking at Mu Xiaobing's escape, I thought to myself: A person who thinks about calculating his parents every day can only be this little bit of interest.

But although he usually quarrels with his sister, he still protects her at critical times.

As soon as Mu Xiaobing left, the hall immediately quieted down, the employees were far away to watch the excitement, Manager Liu also sat there expressionlessly without saying a word, I turned my head to Manager Zhang who was standing behind me and said, "Let the waiter pour us tea"

When the waiter poured the tea, I asked the middle-aged man, "What's your surname?" ”

"My surname is Zhou"

The middle-aged man looked at me and said.

"Boss Zhou"

I smiled and nodded.

I took a sip of tea and pondered for a while, I heard Lin Xiaoran say that he borrowed a friend's money to open a coal mine a few years ago but lost money if it didn't open it, he has been repaying the money for the past two years, before the Spring Festival, this friend of his took someone to his house to ask for money, the two have agreed to repay the rest of the money on a monthly basis, he brought a group of people today is probably because he heard that Lin Xiaoran had an accident and was afraid that the rest of the money would not be settled, and now he is eager to find out whether Lin Xiaoran will default on the debt and not to smash the field.

So I stared at him and said, "I heard Lin Xiaoran say that he owes money, I remember that he said that he had agreed with a friend who owed money to repay the money in monthly installments, is it time to repay the money?" ”

Boss Zhou probably didn't expect me to ask him like this, he was stunned, looked at me for a while and said, "It's almost here, I heard that Lin Xiaoran had an accident, we don't worry so let's take a look."

I smiled and said, "Are you afraid that we won't be able to pay back your money?" Don't worry, the money Lin Xiaoran paid back to you is also the money earned by the operation of this hotel, not the money he made by magic, so as long as the hotel is open for business, you will be repaid the money, you also saw that our hotel is still open for business, and when Lin Xiaoran is sober, as long as he nods and agrees, I will pay you back."

"Then what if Lin Xiaoran can't wake up? You're not going to pay it back? ”

Boss Zhou slapped the table with his hand and said sharply, and the few people he brought also straightened up and stared at me.

I looked at this bluff Boss Zhou felt angry and ridiculous, glared at him fiercely and said unhappily: "Lin Xiaoran will be fine, now he has consciousness, if you want to find trouble here, I will close this hotel immediately, you take the IOU and wait for Lin Xiaoran to go to the court to fight a lawsuit after he is discharged from the hospital, or wait for him to die, and you can do it yourself." I'll tell you the truth, the place of this hotel is rented and operated by Lin Xiaofeng, not his own, what do you want, you can do it."

Seeing that I was not scared at all, Boss Zhou relieved his breath and said: "I don't mean to come to find trouble, I lent him money from Lin Xiaoran and I used to be friends, and I came to get my money back."

I sneered and said, "I can't see that you are friends, I haven't seen you in the hospital once since Lin Xiaoran's accident, and I see you in your current posture as if you were taking advantage of the fire to rob." However, my brother clearly settles accounts, it is a matter of course to repay debts, and we will definitely repay your money, but the current situation is what I just said, it is useless for you to make trouble here, you have time to spend here, it is better to go to the temple to burn pillar incense, bless Lin Xiaoran to recover soon, and bless us with a prosperous business."

Boss Zhou stared at me for a while, tapped his fingers on the table and looked at me and said, "You look very cheerful, I used to hear Lin Xiaoran say that there is a sister who is a policeman, it won't be you!" ”

I smiled and said: "Lin Xiaoran only has one sister, and Boss Zhou is also a businessman, I don't need to say that I know that now it is a loss and a prosperity, and I also understand the truth that the big river is full of water and the small river is full, so don't have nothing to do here."

Boss Zhou grinned and said, "Okay, it seems that you are also a reasonable person, and you are also reasonable, I believe you this time." I like your personality a lot, when Lin Xiaoran is discharged from the hospital, we will sit together and give him a shock, we can be friends in the future."

I laughed and said, "I don't dare to make a friend like you, we police officers make friends who share life and death, and making a friend like you who stabs you in the back whenever something happens will die ugly." If you don't have anything else to do, hurry up, and when the guests are coming, don't affect our business, otherwise don't blame us for not having the money to pay you back."

Boss Zhou laughed wryly, and the people around him also secretly pouted and laughed silently.
