Chapter 056: Selling Yourself to Save Your Daughter
Hongtu Building.
Shen Yue took Meng Qianyu's hand and walked out of the building, laughing as he walked.
Meng Qianyu was also on a whim, thinking that it was fun to come to shoot an advertisement, and later Lin Sheng reminded her in person, she thought that with the strictness of her family, how could she let her show up to shoot advertisements?
"If you think it's fun, try recording a few songs." Shen Yue said with a smile.
"Really? Sing? May I? Meng Qianyu suddenly became interested.
Compared to having to show up for commercials, singing is much freer, even if you want to release a record, you can not print your own appearance on the album cover!
"Well, if you really like it, I can help you write songs." Shen Yue said with some pampering.
For Meng Qianyu, Shen Yue really likes it more and more, frank and cute, gentle and generous, well, in fact, she looks really good when she laughs, very good-looking!
"Then it's decided! I want to sing a song as good as "The Sea and the Sky"! Meng Qianyu said excitedly.
The two were talking and laughing, and they walked to the bus stop not far away, and just walked a few dozen meters, they saw a group of people in the square not far away, as if they were pointing and talking about something.
"Huh? What happened? Let's go check it out. Meng Qianyu took Shen Yue's hand and walked over quickly.
Shen Yue followed behind Meng Qianyu and walked over with a curious expression.
I saw that in the middle of the square, there was a **** man wearing a **** upper body, looking to be in his thirties, holding a wooden sign high, on which four big characters were written in red paint "Sell yourself to save women".
At the man's feet, a few lines of words were written in blue chalk, and many people were looking at those words and pointing at the man.
At this time, it was the cold winter season, Shen Yue felt slightly cold in a down jacket, but the man holding the sign was naked, and his lower body was only wearing a thin pair of camouflage pants.
Shen Yue has seen too many people begging on the street, sometimes he will symbolically give a dollar, and sometimes he will pretend not to see it and walk over, because there are too many such people, who knows if it is a fake beggar?
Many news reports have reported that some beggars go out every morning and return home at night as if they are commuting to work, and some beggars actually have full-time drivers and nannies to take care of them, and private cars to pick them up.
Many beggars can build two- or three-story buildings when they go back to their hometowns for the money they beg for a year, which is more than the white-collar workers in many big cities.
It is precisely because they are accustomed to seeing such fake beggars that many people no longer believe in people begging on the street.
However, this thirty-year-old man, if he is a liar, then the price he paid is really not small, he is naked in the cold weather, and it is difficult to say whether the money deceived is enough for his medical expenses.
Therefore, Shen Yue's first reaction, this man should not be a liar!
Looking at the passage he wrote in chalk, Shen Yue knew that this man had a six-year-old daughter, who unfortunately suffered from acute leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant, but if he wanted to treat the disease, he had to spend a lot of money, and there was no way, so he thought of selling himself for 20 years and begging a well-wisher to lend him 500,000.
In Linhai City, the salary of ordinary workers is more than 2,000 a month, almost more than 20,000 a year, and almost 500,000 yuan in 20 years.
In other words, this man wants to sell his freedom for the next 20 years in exchange for 500,000 yuan to save his daughter.
Some of the onlookers took out 10 yuan, 50 yuan, and even 100 yuan and put it in front of the man.
"Thank you! I don't need everyone's donations, and it's not enough money for my daughter to wait! The surgery must be done by the next week at the latest, otherwise the chances of success will be greatly reduced if the time is late. So I hope you can help me publicize it, so that those rich bosses can buy my 20 years of freedom, and I am willing to repay him by being a cow and a horse! The man did not accept the donations, but shouted loudly.
"Huh?" Shen Yue was slightly surprised, this man had been standing naked for at least half an hour in this cold winter, but his voice did not tremble in the slightest, and it seemed that his physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
"How pitiful! Let's find a way to help him! Why don't I go find Lin Sheng? Meng Qianyu's face was full of pity, and his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.
If it was just a donation, Meng Qianyu would not hesitate to donate all the money on his body, but this man made it clear that he would not accept donations, but just hoped that everyone would help him publicize more and find a boss who could get 500,000 yuan to buy his freedom for 20 years in the second half of his life.
And among the people Meng Qianyu knows, I'm afraid only Lin Sheng can get 500,000, in order to help this man, Meng Qianyu can't care about his dislike of Lin Sheng.
"What are you looking for him? Isn't there still me! Shen Yue took Meng Qianyu's hand and whispered.
"Can you come up with 500,000? By the way, you must have earned a lot of royalties for the songs you wrote, right? Meng Qianyu's eyes lit up and he laughed.
Shen Yue didn't say it, Meng Qianyu still forgot about it, but he wrote the two popular songs "Sea and Sky" and "Believe in Yourself", and the records sold more than 3 million copies, and the royalties were nearly 1 million.
Shen Yue smiled, took Meng Qianyu's hand, and squeezed in front of the man.
"I have a friend who can definitely get 500,000 yuan, but we have to go to the hospital with you to confirm and see if you are lying to us." Shen Yue said loudly.
The man stared at Shen Yue for a few moments, then nodded heavily and put down the sign in his hand.
"Good! I'll take you there! The man placed the sign among the flowers beside him, then picked up the clothes next to him and put them on his body.
Shen Yue and Meng Qianyu followed behind the man, walked a few hundred meters away, and came to the Second People's Hospital of Linhai City not far away.
The man's daughter lives in the hospital ward, and the man usually has to take care of his daughter, and he has to try his best to make money, but he doesn't dare to go too far, so he sells himself in the square outside the Hongtu Building.
After coming to the hospital, under the leadership of the man, Shen Yue and Meng Qianyu came to the ward of the hematology department and saw his daughter.
It was a very cute girl, with big eyes twinkling and long eyelashes, like a doll, and anyone who looked at it couldn't help but want to touch her little head.
However, such a cute little girl has acute leukemia, and if the operation is not done within a week, the condition will be delayed, and the success rate of future treatment will be greatly reduced.
It is for this reason that the girl's father came up with this crazy move, wanting to sell himself to a rich boss and withdraw 20 years of salary in advance to save his daughter.
Shen Yue found the attending doctor next to him and confirmed the identity of the girl and the man, and then he was relieved.
"There are 1 million in this card, you can use it first, and you can return the rest to me." Shen Yue took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the girl's father.
"Thank you! My name is Zhou Hao, and my life in the future will be your boss! The man nodded, his face full of sternness.
Shen Yue didn't say anything, just waved his hand and pulled Meng Qianyu away.
