Ye Ming saw that Luo Shaoming promised not to ask Ou Yangming to repay his debts, so he stood up and said to Luo Shaoming: "Mr. Luo, then please take out the IOU written by Director Ou, and we will tear it up in front of you, and from now on, you and Director Ou will not violate the river water, and no one owes anyone." ”

Luo Shaoming is now full of desire to please Chen Mengqi, hoping that she will not send Gong Zhichao to check the account of the "Deli Investment Company", so after hearing Ye Ming's words, he quickly took out the IOU from his wallet and handed it to Ou Yangming.

Ou Yangming held the IOU that brought him endless humiliation and endless troubles, carefully looked at his signature on it, suddenly gritted his teeth, and tore the IOU in a few clicks. Then, he threw the pieces into his mouth and chewed vigorously as he picked up the teacup and swallowed all the confetti with the tea.

Chen Mengqi saw him suddenly swallow the fragment of the IOU, his eyes widened in shock, and he asked puzzledly: "Director Ou, why are you swallowing confetti?" It's okay to tear it apart, who would dare to ask you for money again? ”

Ou Yangming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Miss Chen, I am swallowing the bitter fruit by myself, I want to remind myself in this way, and I also make a poisonous oath to myself: If I go to gamble again in the future, let the fragments of this IOU that I swallow today turn into a steel knife, crushing my internal organs, digging out my heart and liver, and turning it into a body without internal organs and soul!" ”

Chen Mengqi heard him swear such a poisonous oath to himself, and felt a little unbearable, and said: "Director Ou, as long as you make up your mind to quit gambling, you will definitely succeed, there is no need to swallow this dirty IOU, and there is no need to make such a vicious oath." ”

Ye Ming admired Ou Yangming's approach, nodded and said, "Director Ou, as the saying goes: if a bee flies into your arms, undress it; The poisonous snake bites his fingers, and the strong man breaks his wrist! If you want to quit the habit of gambling, you must have the determination and perseverance of a strong man to break his wrist. The IOU you swallowed today is a sword that once hung over your head. I hope you will always be vigilant and not be carried above your head by such a sharp sword. ”

After saying this, he stood up, hugged his fists at Luo Shaoming, and said, "Mr. Luo, thank you for your magnanimity, and I hope you can forgive me for my reckless behavior just now." We won't be here for dinner, and Director Ou and I will have a chat later. Goodbye! ”

As he spoke, he gave Ou Yangming a look and motioned for him to go first.

Ou Yangming also happened to not want to eat with Luo Shaoming and the others, and when he saw Ye Ming winking at him, he walked out first.

Ye Ming pulled Chen Mengqi out and said to Ou Yangming: "Director Ou, it's not too early, I invite you to a small restaurant for a meal, and our brothers can chat." ”

Ou Yangming nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The three of them took Chen Mengqi's car to Binjiang Road, found a live fish restaurant, ordered a few catties of river fish, a few side dishes, opened two half-catty bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and chatted while eating fish.

While chatting, Ou Yangming's eyes suddenly turned red, and he said to Ye Ming in a slightly choked voice: "Director Ye, I now know what it means for the prime minister to be able to support the boat in his belly, and what it means to convince people with virtue." What you, Director Ye, have done for me today is a model of convincing people with virtue. From today onwards, I, Ou Yangming, will obey you with all my heart and follow you with all my heart. If you have two hearts, let me destroy heaven and earth! ”

Ye Ming hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Director Ou, it's serious, it's serious!" We used to be brothers, but there was a little misunderstanding in the middle, which made you have an opinion about me. It's all a trivial matter, and it's not enough to worry about! To put it inappropriately: brothers are on the wall, and they are insulted from the outside! You and I are brothers in the same substation, being bullied by the gangsters on the street, of course I want to help you, this is a normal thing, and it is also what I should do, you don't take it too seriously. By the way, how much foreign debt do you owe now? I'm referring mainly to those usury. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone about it. I just want to help you get out of the predicament of being forced to collect debts as soon as possible, so that you can go to work with peace of mind from now on, and assist me in getting the work of the first branch office together. ”

Ou Yangming lowered his head a little embarrassedly, was silent for a while, and then raised his head and said regretfully: "Director Ye, I don't need to hide anything from you: the foreign debts I owe now, in addition to Luo Shaoming's 150,000 yuan, are now urging tightly and the interest rate is relatively high, and there are three more totaling 70,000 yuan. They called me almost every day to force me to pay me back. Moreover, the reason why I became addicted to gambling and couldn't extricate myself was because I started to incur debts, and I wanted to win back what I lost through big gambling and pay off the debts. I didn't expect to fall deeper and deeper later. In desperation, I had to drink water to quench my thirst, and borrowed usury to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall. ”

Ye Ming heard him say that there were still 70,000 yuan of foreign debts that needed to be paid off urgently, frowned and thought for a while, and then said solemnly: "Director Ou, I can help you pay off your 70,000 yuan now, so that you can completely lose your ideological baggage, travel lightly, and do your job well." I know that you are a smart person and well-read, so you should understand a truth: it is easy to raise in poverty, and it is difficult to take care of gambling in the long run! That is to say, if a person is only poor, then there is still a way for others to help him; However, if the person has been addicted to gambling for a long time, no matter how rich and rich the person is, he will not be able to fill his bottomless pit, and no one will be willing to help him. I may have said this a little heavily, but my intentions are good, I just hope that after I help you this time, you can completely abandon those previous bad habits and change your mind and start from scratch. ”

Ou Yangming heard Ye Ming say that he would pay off the remaining 70,000 yuan of loan sharks for him, and he was so grateful that he didn't know what to say, but just stared at Ye Ming fixedly, tears rolling down his cheeks like beads of broken threads......

Seeing that her lover was so generous, Chen Mengqi was both moved and proud in her heart, and she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes......

Ye Ming turned his hand and took out the shopping bag containing the money from his back, took out 70,000 yuan from it, and said to Ou Yangming: "You call the three people who lent you money now, and ask them to come here with IOUs, and you will pay them all the money back today." As for the money you owe to your colleagues in the bureau, they won't come to force you, you can slow down for a while and pay them back slowly. ”

Ou Yangming took the money, wiped a handful of tears, and said, "Director Ye, I will find a way to return the money you and the 60,000 yuan that Miss Chen just advanced to me as soon as possible." I, Ou Yangming, am not a person who is not cheeky and likes to rely on debts, but I am poor and short-lived, thin and long-haired, and I have no money, so I can't talk about face and dignity if I want to. Now that you've got me out of trouble, I'm going to try to save up money and try to pay back the money I owe you as soon as possible. ”
