Back at Sycamore, it was already dark. Fan Mingfu was waiting for her in the company, and when he saw her, he was like seeing a lifesaver, saying that Fan Huifu had come to look for Fan Tianfu no less than five times, and Fan Tianfu was not looking for her again, saying that he would call him as soon as she came back.

She asked Fan Mingfu to call quickly, but she didn't know what made Fan Huifu so anxious. Lin Ximeng opened the door of the manager's room, walked in, put down the bag, made tea, and waited for Fan Huifu.

Among the many brothers in the Fan family, since Fan Tianfu came back to engage in business, the only one who can give understanding and support is Fan Huifu.

The phone rang, and she reached for it.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Ma Zhengyan is not there?" A woman's voice was heard.

"Not there."

"Where did he go?"

"I don't know."

"When will he be back?"

"I don't know."

"So he's not working here?"

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

"I don't know." Putting down the phone, I found that Fan Huifu had arrived. Apparently he had heard the phone call just now, and he smiled, "Who's looking for?" ”

"Ma Zhengyan. Brother, you sit. Fan Huifu sat down and said, "Teacher Lin, I feel that Ma Zhengyan is not very authentic. How can you get such a person to come to the company? ”

"Your brother likes him."

"Why don't you stop it?"

"Tian Fu is your younger brother, don't you understand? Needless to say, nine cows can't pull it back, even nine thousand cows can't pull it back. Who can stop it? ”

"How was Ma Zhengyan after he came?"

"How! In this paragraph, from morning to night, there was an endless stream of people who came to the company to ask Ma Zhengyan for debts. ”

"Who are they?"

"Some are his business partners, some are friends who lend money to him, some are restaurant owners, taxi drivers, etc., and the debt collection calls are one after another, sometimes a dozen a day, and those who call sometimes get angry at the people who answer the phone because they hear that Ma Zhengyan is not there."

"Does Tian Fu know?"

"Got it. He has informed several restaurants that Ma Zhengyan's signature under the Red Star account for dinner is invalid, and the company will not pay the bill. ”

"Tian Fu didn't say what to do?"

"He said there should be an underworld organization dedicated to eliminating such people and depriving them of their right to exist among the human race." She teased.

"Then why don't you let him go?"

"Because of the money. He borrowed 10,000 yuan from the company on the first day he came to work, and a few days later it was 8,000. He said at the time that it would only take three days and that he would return it immediately. But now for such a long time, there is no possibility of repayment at all. He is now hiding everywhere, not even returning home, and no one knows where he is. Fan Huifu sighed.

Lin Ximeng added water to him and said, "Brother, let's talk about you." ”

"I don't know if Tian Fu has gone back to the army in the past few days, there is no way, I have to wait for you. Do you know about the 100,000 yuan some time ago? ”

"I know."

"This matter is known from above." Lin Ximeng was taken aback and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"I don't know. Someone told me that they were coming to check my account at 8 a.m. next Monday, and I had to get it all blocked before then. How do you say? Lin Ximeng was stunned: embezzlement of public funds, once it is found out, what will be the consequences?

"Sixth brother, let's do it," Lin Ximeng pondered for a moment and said,

"I'm going to get in touch with Tian Fu tonight anyway, and then I'll do everything I can to make you ...... no matter what."

"Ximeng, I'll leave it to you." Seeing off Fan Huifu, Fan Mingfu quietly walked in and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Lin Ximeng was startled.

"What, you're not gone yet?" Lin Ximeng asked.

"I don't know what's going on, I've been waiting downstairs. I only came up when I heard that the sixth brother was gone. Lin Ximeng smiled.

This Fan Mingfu is incredibly honest and kind, he was born to the same mother, and his temperament with Fan Tianfu is so different from heaven and earth.

"Akio, I'll give you a mission." Fan Mingfu looked at Lin Ximeng and asked cautiously, "What task?" ”

"You have two days to borrow me 20,000 yuan." Fan Mingfu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said, "You can carry me to the well." ”

"Akio, no kidding, seriously, you can't be indifferent this time."

"Where can I borrow it? I don't know anyone. I know a few colleagues from the school, and they don't have any money, so no...... no."

"No! You have to borrow, borrow as much as you can. ”

"No, no...... I can't really borrow a ...... at all."

"Shall I carry you into the well?"

"If you kill me now, I won't be able to borrow it. Don't give me a task, I'm leaving......" Fan Mingfu said as he retreated out the door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lin Ximeng closed the door and sat down. Today is already Friday, even if Fan Tianfu rushes back overnight tonight, there are only two days until next Monday.

For a small business like Red Star to come up with 100,000 yuan in two days, it is tantamount to forcing an old, weak, sick and disabled person to climb the main peak of the Himalayas.

However, what can be done not to climb? Suddenly, the phone rang, and she hurried to answer it.

"Hey, which one?"

"Manager Lin? I'm looking for you, it's me, Accountant Song. ”

"Song ...... Accountant Song, I'm looking for you too. ”

"You're looking for me? What's up? Lin Ximeng controlled himself and said, "You can speak first, Accountant Song." ”

"This afternoon, ICBC made a phone call, saying that we have a blank check of 2,300 yuan, so that we must make up it before 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, otherwise we will be fined. What do you say? ”

"How much more do you have in the BOC's account?"

"Two hundred and ten dollars."

"What other accounts do we have?"

"If there is no more, open these two accounts."

"Oh."

In addition, the engineering department sent a purchase list today, indicating that these materials must be bought tomorrow, and if they can't be bought, the construction site will be stopped for materials. Manager Lin, what do you say? Lin Ximeng bit the corner of his mouth and said, "Accountant Song, let's talk about it tomorrow." Putting down the phone, she slumped into her chair.

Over the past year, she has lost count of how many times she has borrowed money for the business, from tens of thousands to thousands, or even hundreds.

Lin Chenshuang joked that she could open a money-lending company. But what can be done if not?

At first, she didn't know that Fan Tianfu was penniless and started a company with a high-interest loan.

The initial profit of the enterprise is only enough to maintain daily office expenses, and the slight surplus is paid off. Since she has not received a major project, the funds have been so tight that she has not breathed for breath, often tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and the work of borrowing money alone often makes her tired, so that she tastes the taste of borrowing money.

In this society, you can ask friends for help with anything, change jobs, get promoted, divorce, go abroad, even take college exams, and find lovers, but there is only one thing that must not be easily spoken, and that is to borrow money.

This is really an embarrassing thing for both parties. The first time Lin Ximeng knew how important money was, he learned it from Yang Manjun when he was studying at Wutong Normal School.

That time, she asked Yang Manjun if she wanted home. With this question, Yang Manjun's gentle but clear eyes full of wisdom looked at her deeply, and he said for a long time: "Can it?" Yang Manjun's eyes were a little moist.

The orange light that came through the window shone on her small, ordinary face. Lin Ximeng asked strangely: "Then why don't you go back once?" Yang Manjun bit the corner of his lip, and after a long time, he said,

"There's no money." Lin Ximeng was dumbfounded: Don't have money to buy a ticket? Is this possible? However, with Yang Manjun's narration, she finally fully believed it.

Yang Manjun has never seen a train when he is so big. Both parents are old and have lost their ability to work, and in recent years, my father has been sick and bedridden for many years, and life is even more difficult.

The two sisters have already been married, and even the children are already as old as Yang Manjun. After the two eldest brothers got married, they also set up separate doors.

The little brother got married during the Spring Festival, but he couldn't raise the bride price so far, and his parents sighed all day long.

The little brother who is a private teacher is even more at a loss. She has low self-esteem since she was a child because she is ugly, but the days of poverty have made her very strong since she was a child, and she has always been a class committee cadre and a good student in school.

"Aren't we now giving out 25 quick money grants every month? I've been saving up for three months, and I'll have 100 yuan by the time I get winter vacation, and I plan to go home to my little brother and help him get married. Yang Manjun said.

Lin Ximeng's eyes were also moist. Under the glow of the orange light, Yang Manjun's thin and ordinary face became more and more beautiful and solemn.

Yang Manjun's whole image has become more and more noble and great in her heart. She didn't sleep well all night, thinking of the life she didn't know about worrying about since she was a child, thinking that she never knew where the money came from and how important it was, thinking of the car sent by her father every time she went home, thinking of the joyful and warm family feast when she got home, and the sumptuous delicacies and aroma of wine at the family feast...... The next morning, Lin Ximeng found out all the pocket money around him, counted seventy yuan, three cents and five cents, and gave it all to Yang Manjun.

She wanted Yang Manjun to go home to visit her parents who missed her day and night when she had a three-day holiday on New Year's Day. Yang Manjun didn't say a word when he accepted it, but looked at her deeply with those eyes that were tearful, gentle but clearly full of wisdom.

Was that look an accident or joy? Is it thanksgiving, or is it uneasy? Lin Ximeng didn't know, but it made her unforgettable for the rest of her life.

After Fan Tianfu received the call, he immediately put down everything at hand and rushed back, and when he came back, it was nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and he and Lin Ximeng closed the door to study where to start.

The only way to study and study is to borrow from relatives and friends little by little. The two men immediately went their separate ways.

Lin Ximeng went to find Wei Ke first. She has always wanted to tell Wei Ke that she has fallen in love with Fan Tianfu, but she has never had the courage.

How she longed for Wei Ke to bless her.
