Chapter 69: The End of the Road
The next day, Miki Film Studio.
Today, Lu Xingchen and Guo Kexin both have classes, and only Xu Xiao is left in the studio.
In the quiet office, Xu Xiao frowned and lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, but his mind still kept echoing with his sister's helpless crying on the phone-
"Brother, my mother's condition is getting worse and worse, and the money you sent home last month has been spent, and the hospital said that if you don't pay off the medical bills you owe, you will stop your mother's medicine!"
"And... Dad hasn't been home for a long time, doesn't he want us anymore? ”
"Brother...... When are you coming back, I can't hold on......"
“……”
After talking to his sister on the phone, Xu Xiao only felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier and heavier, and he was almost out of breath.
He didn't know how long this kind of life would last.
Maybe a day, maybe ...... There is no end.
As soon as that thought flashed through his mind, he clenched his fists violently - he was unwilling, unwilling to live only like this!
After a long time, until the stinging sensation of burning came from his fingertips, he suddenly came back to his senses, pinched the cigarette butt, pinched his eyebrows, opened the drawer, and pulled out a royal blue ledger.
There was a scribbling record of every amount he owed—
Kexin's 3-month internship salary: 5,000 yuan owed;
Xingchen 3-month internship salary: 5,000 yuan owed;
Da Liu: Owed 6,000 yuan;
Lao Deng: Owe 3,000 yuan;
Ah Guo: Owed 7,000 yuan:
……
Xu Xiao stared closely at every number in the ledger, although he claimed to be the owner of a film and television studio, he actually knew it tightly in his heart, his boss, in some ways, was worse than an intern.
It was a brutal and bloody fact, but he had to admit it...... Perhaps, Guo Kexin and Lu Xingchen, the two interns, are much richer than his boss.
But......
Xu Xiao had another expectation in his heart, ...... tomorrow
As long as tomorrow passes, when everything settles, and when Miki successfully gets Yan's 500 million investment, everything will be fine.
Xu Xiao wanted to use this reason to idealistically paralyze himself, but his mother's illness and his sister's helplessness made him have to be sober and rational!
The medical bills owed by my mother can't wait for tomorrow!
So far...... Xu Xiao gritted his teeth fiercely, his clenched hand loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, and repeated this entanglement several times, and finally let go of his fists, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, thought about it, and dialed a call.
The phone rang a few times and was connected, "Lao Xu, is there something wrong with me?" "Humanity over there.
Xu Xiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he tried his best to make his voice sound brisk, "Yezi, brother has something I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"What's the help, you say, as long as I can help me, I will definitely help!"
Xu Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, "That's the case, I've been a little tight lately, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you...... You can lend me a few thousand dollars. ”
"Oops!" Hearing this, Ye Zichang sighed, "It's not a coincidence, brother, you know, I just proposed to my girlfriend recently, and I'm preparing for a wedding, and there is a gift money or something, you need money inside and outside here, you see me...... I'm really sorry. ”
Xu Xiao's eyes darkened instantly, but he smiled briskly: "I didn't expect that you, the most shy and introverted person in the bedroom before, became the first person to marry a daughter-in-law, congratulations!" ”
"Yes, I also think it's amazing, what, let's not talk about it, my daughter-in-law urged me. Hang up! ”
"Good. We'll talk ...... later."
Before the last two words could be spoken, the phone had already been hung up.
