Chapter 40: Doom
After chatting with Brother Luo, I immediately went to the store next door to learn about the situation, but I didn't meet the boss, and after asking the salesman for the boss's phone number, I immediately went to the investment department to find Manager Hu to learn about the rental situation of the underwear store next door.
The rent of the underwear store is 5 yuan a square meter like ours, but there are still 6 months left to expire, which is still good news for me, so I only need to pay 6 months' rent to the owner of the underwear store, which we can afford at the moment, and I am confident enough to imagine the future.
In fact, the reason why the underwear store can't continue is because of poor management, that is, if I negotiate well, I can even spend less money to win the store.
.........
I talked to the owner of the underwear store on the phone for the first time, just briefly asked her if she had any intention of turning, at this time I can't be too eager, otherwise it is likely to be slaughtered, the boss's attitude is also very flickering, put on a hesitant look, I judged that this person must be an old Jianghu, want to sell her store at a low price, it may take a lot of effort.
The next day I met with the owner of the underwear store, after the initial communication, I judged that she wanted to maximize the benefits, I naturally could not accept her conditions, but I was not in a hurry, the profitable store improved, the loss-making store generally wanted to take over to consider carefully, and I still have the last hole card, that is, the shopping mall investment department of Manager Hu, after a period of time, I have a good relationship with him, the store transfer needs to get the consent of the shopping mall, as long as I and Manager Hu say hello, It wasn't so easy for her to turn the store so easily, she couldn't get past the mall.
.........
Three days later, while I was planning my future and prospects in the store, I received a life-threatening phone call from the city hospital.
Xiao Min was in a car accident, the perpetrator is unknown, the hospital staff found a phone in her pocket with my number in it, and dialed me.
My scalp was numb, I rushed to the hospital as soon as possible, I didn't even dare to inform Brother Luo and Sister-in-law Luo, I asked about the situation, my heart was like being pricked by thousands of needles, intracranial hemorrhage, craniotomy was being done, whether I could be rescued or not, it depends on God's will.
I sat down in a lounge chair in the hospital hallway, tears streaming down my eyes.......... Why is Heaven so unfair, and why should she suffer such a sin? In an instant, I felt that it was all dark, and even though I was trembling, I still dialed Brother Luo's phone.
........
I don't want to recall the mood of Brother Luo and Sister-in-law Luo at that time, they didn't even have the strength to cry, Xiao Min was their only daughter, if there was a mistake, such a blow was not something they could bear.
Brother Luo and sister-in-law Luo have no communication skills, the staff talked to me, out of humanitarianism, they rescued Xiaomin without charge, and the cost of the operation needs to be solved immediately.
I inquired about the cost of treatment of at least 100,000 yuan, and I had a feeling that I was going to collapse, and there was little hope of finding the perpetrator, and this cost was only borne by the family, but where are we going to get this 100,000 yuan now?
........
I thought of Shen Man, but Yuanshui couldn't save the near fire, she wasn't in Nantong at the moment, it was night, and it was very difficult to transfer money to me, even if I could transfer, could I still owe her such a big favor? I remember secretly swearing when I went to Lianyungang that I would never let Shen Man worry about me again, but the reality is so helpless.
I thought of the prince again, he had money, but he certainly couldn't get it now, his financial situation was not good, and he often overdrew unless he asked his father for it, and he had not yet returned from a trip abroad, and it was difficult to help me for a while.
........
"Lin Xi, yes, look for Lin Xi......." I thought of Lin Xi when I was close to collapse.
Can I still take care of the so-called dignity at this moment? No, I don't want dignity......... As long as I can save Xiaomin, I don't care about anything, I took out the phone with difficulty, and my fingers trembled and swiped down the phone screen, and finally I found the phone number that had been dusty for a long time.
I closed my eyes and exhaled heavily, and dialed Lin Xi's phone number.........
It was a long time before the phone was answered, and I don't know what tone I said to her: "Lend me some money, I need it urgently." ”
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said softly to me: "It's inconvenient for me to go out now." ”
"It's urgent~~~ it's a life-saving ......." I was already crying ~~~~
I heard Lin Xi open the door, and at this moment she seemed to have left the room.
"Sissy, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you~~?" Lin Xi's tone became very nervous.
.........
"I need money, a lot of money......." I was a little incoherent.
Lin Xi didn't ask, just said, "Where are you, I'll look for you." ”
I gave Lin Xi the address, and she hung up the phone immediately........ I sat in my chair, my head bowed and my hands pressed to my temples, and I didn't know what it was like to be in my heart except for chaos........ Life without money is simply difficult.
.........
I stood at the gate of the hospital and waited for Lin Xi, the sky was raining, the air was cold, and I lit a cigarette to stabilize my mood.
The city has been at its quietest with few pedestrians, and with most people sleeping, who would have imagined that the tragedy behind me would be repeated, just after I witnessed the loss of a young couple experiencing the loss of their child.
If there is really a creator, I want to talk to him~~ Ask him to raise his noble hand and return the world to peace, in just a few decades, we continue to suffer from the pain of the skin, which is unfair to us.
........
Twenty minutes later, Lin Xi came, she got out of the car, but she was wearing pajamas, and her hair was scattered over her shoulders, if it wasn't for her car, I almost didn't recognize her.
I snuffed out my cigarette and walked towards her, and she brushed her hair from the corners of her eyes and walked towards me, and we all seemed to forget the embarrassment caused by the passage of time.
"Yixi, are you alright?" Lin Xi asked me nervously.
I shook my head and said, "I'm fine, my friend's daughter was in a car accident and needs a lot of treatment." ”
Lin Xi made a relieved look, presumably she thought that something had happened to me before, she said to me: "How much do you need, can you swipe the card here at night?" ”
"It's not sure yet, pay enough money and let the hospital deduct it." There was worry and tiredness in my tone, and if it weren't for the wealth of the family, a place like a hospital would be enough to bankrupt an ordinary family.
Lin Xi nodded and walked side by side with me to the cashier's office.........
........
After paying the fee, Lin Xi said to me: "Yixi, I have to go........ Call me again if the money is not enough. ”
"No need, I'll pay you back as soon as possible." I said.
I have already thought about it, I will transfer the "Xiluo men's goods store", out of this matter, I need a lot of money to fill this bottomless pit, although I am very reluctant in my heart, but what is the way, people always have to choose.
"You can do social welfare for me........" Lin Xi didn't say much to me after speaking, and left in a hurry with her purse, she is now a family person, and many things can no longer be as casual as before.
I looked at the back of Lin Xi's departure, and I felt mixed feelings, I seemed to understand more and more her decision to leave me, maybe she was right.
