Chapter 20: Turnaround
"Rui Rui? I am back. ”
For the first time since I got sick, Ouyang Ze's voice became so energetic, as excited as if he had won the lottery.
I was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when I turned my head, I saw Ouyang Ze's smiling face and the big white teeth.
"What's wrong? What's the good thing..."
Before I finished speaking, Ouyang Ze hugged me into his arms, and his lips kept kissing me on the pinna.
"The crisis of the company is over! Passed! ”
His hand holding me was shaking, and even if you couldn't see the expression on his face at this moment, you could tell how excited he was at the moment.
The company he built was in crisis, and then turned around. Not only him, but also me.
"That's good, that's good."
I gently patted him on the back, soothing his unquenchable heart.
"I'll go take a shower first, and I'll talk to you about the situation in detail later."
After speaking, Ouyang Ze got up and walked into the bathroom, but before he could go in, he couldn't wait to take off his shirt, not caring about the expressions of the women around him who were cleaning.
From behind, he looks like a hooligan on the road, but even if he is a hooligan, he is a happy hooligan.
"Sir's company has passed the crisis, and there should be money to cure your illness."
While Ouyang Ze was taking a bath, Cristao also walked up to me and comforted me.
But somehow, I always feel that things are not as simple as I imagined. I always felt that the smile on Chris Tao's face appeared too early, too quickly.
"Well, I hope so..."
I still managed to squeeze a smile out of the corner of my mouth, as a response to Christao's words of comfort.
"Actually, I don't know what's going on, but when you started getting sick, the company started to get better, and the turnover went up..."
At the dinner table, Ouyang Ze devoured the steak in front of him, but he didn't forget to tell me the story of his company's turnaround.
It's been a long time since I've seen him eat so happily. Before he got sick, he always kept his face stiff when he ate and would not say a word from beginning to end, and when he was sick, he didn't know how to eat, and often only ate one or two bites of a meal before putting down the knife and fork in his hand.
I'm happy to see him eating so much now.
"Well, that's good, it's okay."
The knife and fork in his hand at this time cut not a steak, but a piece of "hope". I'm going to cut "hope" into small pieces bit by bit, swallow it in my stomach, and heal my terminal illness.
Ouyang Ze's mood is good, and my mood is also good, although my stomach does not allow me to eat a lot of greasy things, but I still want to eat more to make Ouyang Ze even happier.
Seeing that I was eating more than before, Cristao, who was standing on the side, also revealed, "In two or three months, the deficit will be made up, and then in another month, it will be back to the original business level." ”
Deficit? Repair? Back to the old level of business?
The knives and forks in my hands suddenly became so heavy that I couldn't lift them, and I couldn't cut the piece of "hope".
So the company is now in a recovery period? Sir still has no money? ”
Before I could speak, Kris Tao couldn't wait to open her mouth. When I looked up at her, I saw that she was also looking at me with a sad face.
"Well, as long as you can get through this time, you will have money, and you can do it for Rui Rui..."
Ouyang Ze suddenly stopped the unfinished words in his mouth, and the smile on his face became stiff.
He must have been afraid that he would leak his mouth, so he quickly stopped, but he didn't know that I already knew.
Ouyang Ze must have been thinking of all kinds of reasons in his mind at this time, looking at his flickering eyes and slightly trembling lips, he could guess his thoughts.
"Do it for Rui Rui... Do... Make clothes for weddings, hehe..."
Although Ouyang Ze's company has improved, it still needs to recover for a long time... Three or four months, can I last that long? What if I make it to that point, but I die because the surgery was done too late? Isn't the final result still Ouyang Ze to be sad about me?
I didn't speak, just quietly looked at the "hope" on the plate, at the temptation that was out of reach.
"Or I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow, your illness has been delayed for so long, although it's a minor illness, but you also have to have an operation..."
When he said "minor illness", his voice was significantly lowered. I almost laughed out loud when I heard him lie, because I had stopped telling such an untechnical lie 20 years ago.
"Isn't there no money, so let's wait until it's time to make clothes for me."
"You can take some points from the company first, and others won't know about it."
Ouyang Ze also put down the knife and fork in his hand.
"Your illness is important, it's been a long time."
Although I also know that my illness has dragged on for a long time and my condition has deteriorated a lot, I don't want Ouyang Ze to be charged with "embezzlement of public funds" because of my illness.
"It's said that it's a minor illness, and it's okay to delay it for a while."
I buried my head lower, for fear that Ouyang Ze would see my expression and see my somewhat reddened eyes.
"In fact, in the United States, it is okay to occasionally use the company's money for emergencies, the United States is not as strict as China's, and it will be returned in a few months."
Cristao was also standing on Ouyang Ze's side, and she was also helping him persuade me. Little by little, she walked towards me, and when she touched my shoulders with those slender hands, it was as if she was saying something to me.
"I'll help you cut it, I slept all day today, and I don't have any strength in my body."
With that, Cristao bent down and picked up the knife and fork in front of me to help me cut the piece of "hope".
"Sir's company is improving now, and your illness can be cured. So worry no more. ”
Christao whispered, her long flowing golden hair blocking Ouyang Ze's vision and her mouth that kept talking.
Looking at the knife and fork in Christao's hand constantly scratching on the steak, looking at the handle reflecting the silver light, it was like seeing a sharp knife on the operating table, cutting my stomach occupied by cancer cells.
Although Ouyang Ze's company has improved and is slowly getting back on track, he still has no spare money, no money to fill the hole in my body. Although I had to wait, while waiting, the hole in my body was getting bigger until it swallowed my entire body.
"You have to be obedient, and Mr. Ouyang will heal you."
The steak has been cut into chriss, and each piece is so evenly sized, and the tender meat with a pink glow in the middle is also exposed.
Looking at this plate of cut "hope", I don't know how to start, looking at Ouyang Ze's bright smiling face opposite, I don't know how to choose...
