She thought that Mr. Yao was mostly joking, and it was impossible for him to not even wash the photos because of this money.

Speaking of which, Mr. Yao still owes her one hundred and fifty-three yuan.

After she resigned from Seagull Photo Studio, the first thing she did when she came back was to help Mr. Yao pay off her debts.

On that day, the employees in the office area of the scenic spot raised more than 1,000 yuan, and there was still a difference of 153 yuan, and the creditor drove a tractor directly to the door. In desperation, she took out 153 yuan from her salary of 180 yuan and returned the money for Mr. Yao first.

Later, after he got rich, Mr. Yao asked for all the other people's money, but she didn't pay it back.

Mr. Yao promised at that time to pay her at one time when the next salary was settled.

Unexpectedly, the longer it dragged on, Mr. Yao's financial situation was getting worse and worse.

Mr. Yao looked at the door of the photo studio, big and small, men and women, all of whom came to ask him for money, and suddenly felt tired.

He shouted out a sentence on the spot: "You wait, I'll go find the money." ”

He pulled out his car keys, found the motorcycle in the shade of the sidewalk, and stepped on the motorcycle to head west.

He rode to the Times Audio Store, where "A Cut of Plums" was playing.

"Cold ice and snow can't be submerged

Bloom on the coldest branches

See spring coming to you and me

Snowflakes flutter in the north wind

……”

At this time, it was already the turn of autumn and winter, and Mr. Yao couldn't help but shiver when he listened to the music.

In front of the audio store, two young men buying cassette tapes were rummaging through the shelves.

There was a middle-aged woman sitting in the shop, but she didn't see Chi Zhong.

Mr. Yao asked: "Is the boss here?" ”

The store replied: "Boss Chi is busy decorating the house in his new home in Happy Home. ”

Mr. Yao asked for the location of the house and rode away on a motorcycle.

He turned three or five corners, drove through three or four streets, and finally arrived in front of the Happy Home Community.

The newly built community is a five-storey building with red exterior walls and wide glass, which looks particularly high-end.

The rows of houses are all brand new, with water and electricity in the house, and the homes are all equipped with tiled toilets, which is particularly avant-garde in this era.

Mr. Yao rode into the community and slowly drove past rows of buildings.

He couldn't help but sigh: "This community is really good, and after the film is realized, I will also buy a suite here." ”

Mr. Yao looked sideways at the building and rode a bicycle, when he suddenly heard someone shouting "ouch".

He hurriedly turned around and saw a girl standing in front of the motorcycle, the girl was carrying a bag in her hand, which was knocked to the ground by her own motorcycle, and spilled the dark green unity bills inside.

A gust of wind blew, and the banknotes rose to the ground and flew all over the sky.

Mr. Yao took a closer look at the girl, she had good facial features, fair skin, and a ponytail behind her round head. It is the girl in the Seagull Photo Studio, Zhu Xiaohua's sister.

Mr. Yao hurriedly stopped the motorcycle and apologized repeatedly: "I was just busy looking at the new house, and I didn't see anyone in front of me." I didn't hit you, I'll pick it up for you. ”

Zhu Xiaoyan shook her head, squatted down, and began to collect the money on the ground into the bag little by little.

Mr. Yao also squatted down, picked up the banknotes floating in the wind one by one, and put them in the bag.

A few bills floated into the green belt, which he climbed over and reached in to pull it out. The banknotes fell into the mud and got a lot of dust.

He patted the dust off the banknote and handed it to Zhu Xiaoyan.

When handing over the money, he glanced into the bag, which was full of banknotes.

He couldn't help but gasp, this bag of banknotes was twenty or thirty thousand yuan, to say the least.

He was also surprised that such a little girl, who had not yet reached the age of eighteen, walked like this with a bag of banknotes. Who would have thought that such a little girl would carry so much money.

When Mr. Yao handed over the money, Zhu Xiaoyan recognized him.

Zhu Xiaoyan said: "Aren't you Mr. Yao of Mingguang Photo Studio, you also live here?" ”

Mr. Yao stood up and smiled: "I don't live here." I'm here to find a friend. Count, you're not short of money, right? ”

Zhu Xiaoyan said: "I just looked at the few that flew out, it should be no less." ”

Mr. Yao said: "It's good if it's not less." ”

He got back on his motorcycle and rushed to Chi Chong's house. Zhu Xiaoyan was at a junction in the community and turned to the east.

Mr. Yao arrived at Chi Chong's door, parked the motorcycle downstairs and turned to go upstairs.

Chi Chong's house is on the second floor, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the unit building, he heard a noisy sound from upstairs. The "hum" of the electric drill drilling into the wall, the sound of pulling the wooden plank, the sound of bricks falling to the ground, and the sound of workers talking loudly are intertwined.

Chi Chong's door was open, and Mr. Yao walked in without pushing the door.

In the room, Chi Chong, covered in white lime, was directing two workers to load the bookcase.

In fact, he didn't plan to use these bookcases to read books, but just planned to put some antiques, stereos and other things.

Seeing Mr. Yao coming in, Chi Chong grabbed Mr. Yao and said, "Mr. Yao, you came just in time, help me with the staff officer." Where do you think this bookcase is appropriate? ”

This bookcase is too small to put in the living room, and it is too eye-catching, and it is too big to put in the bedroom.

Mr. Yao said: "This is easy to do, you make two bookcases, one for the study and one for the bedroom." ”

In this way, he can fit as many things as he wants, and it doesn't take up space in the living room.

Chi Zhong touched his chin and thought: "In this way, won't this bookcase be split into two and become two?" ”

Mr. Yao nodded.

Chi Zhong said: "After we sell all the film and realize it, I want to buy a bunch of antiques and come back, what Ming and Qing porcelain vases, Tang and Song calligraphy and paintings, all get a few things." It is necessary to turn the study into an antique collection room. ”

Speaking of film, Mr. Yao's mood was suddenly a little depressed.

Mr. Yao said: "Don't mention film, the market price of film is cheaper than our purchase price." Twenty-four and one boxes, all of them are dying. ”

Chi Zhong was also a little distressed: "If we hadn't blocked the Seagull Photo Studio at that time, didn't buy the third batch of goods, and didn't buy the later goods, we would actually make money." ”

Mr. Yao also nodded: "When the third batch of goods was delivered, the cost price was only seven yuan. If we don't engage in expansion and monopoly, in fact, we can make a lot of money just by selling out this batch of 300,000 films. Of course, the most profitable one is Boss Huang Renhuang.

"It's just a pity that later we added more than one million yuan and mortgaged all the photo studios."

Chi Zhong said: "I'm the same, the house I just bought has also been mortgaged." In the end, we got too much of this batch of goods, and the cost price was too high. Now it's hard to ride a tiger. ”

Chi Zhong suddenly asked strangely: "Why did you come here, it stands to reason that you should be in the photo studio." ”

Mr. Yao sighed and sighed: "I can't hide it, I actually came to borrow money from you." Now all the creditors have come to the door. Your situation is much better than mine, and you have the leisure to decorate the house, can you lend me tens of thousands of dollars to help me get through the current difficulties? ”
