Xu Zheng did not start the story immediately, but poured a glass of water, took a big sip before he began to slowly tell.

"People often say that gambling harms people, what they say is true. In the early years, when I just became a master of cooking, I was full of energy and full of heroism, and I felt that I could do something big."

When Xu Zheng said this, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Obviously, that memory was not beautiful to him.

"Before I became a master of cooking, I worked for others, and I was conscientious and had a lot of savings. After becoming a master of cooking, I wanted to open a restaurant by myself, whether to make private dishes or slowly become bigger and stronger and become a restaurant, which is all good." Xu Zheng said, and took another sip of water.

"It's a pity that my idea did not come true. That period of time may have been the most painful time in my life. I have already chosen the hotel address and paid the deposit. Even the subsequent decoration and employee recruitment are underway. But at this time...ah~"

As he spoke, Xu Zheng poured two big mouthfuls of water.

Jiang Yang didn't urge Xu Zheng, but just listened quietly to him telling the past...

Just as Xu Zheng was full of confidence and was busy working for his career, suddenly... a bad news came.

Xu Zheng's eldest son Xu Fu was beaten outside! His injuries were still a bit serious.

Speaking of Xu Zheng's eldest son Xu Fu, he was also an honest person since childhood. He had not been able to study since childhood. He had been running around in society early and doing some small business, and his life was pretty good.

It was originally a very comfortable life, but at some point, Xu Fu quietly became addicted to gambling. At the beginning, it was a small gambling, and it was not too much to win or lose at one time. But as time passed, the win or lose became bigger and bigger, until later, Xu Fu won or lose every time he lost thousands of times.

You know, twenty or thirty years ago, the winning or losing of thousands was not small.

For this reason, Xu Zheng scolded him several times but couldn't start a fight. After all, he was an adult, and he had his own family, so it was not suitable to fight again.

Xu Fu said he wanted to change every time, but he went to bet every time.

The wife at home had divorced several times, but was comforted by Xu Fu.

In fact, if this is the case, Xu Fu will at most be unable to support the wall with mud, and there will be no big problems.

It was not until the day he was beaten that Xu Zheng realized that Xu Fu had already owed huge debts outside.

Xu Fu was injured by those who collected debts. The debt collector even threatened that if Xu Fu could not pay back the money in a month, he would interrupt his hands and feet and even threaten Xu Fu's family.

Xu Zheng remembered it very clearly that the scene of that day has been echoing in his mind for years.

The people were holding steel pipes in their hands, and they were all vicious and surrounded Xu Fu. When they were talking to Xu Zheng, the spitting stars sprayed on Xu Zheng's face.

After going back that day, Xu Zheng smoked cigarettes alone in the room for a long time.

Finally, Xu Zheng took the capital from opening a store to pay off Xu Fu's debt.

When Xu Zheng returned the letter to everyone, his head was lowered. He had only lowered his head this time in his life.

Things are far from over here. You can earn money when you lose money. Xu Zheng, a chef, isn't he afraid that he can't make money?

Xu Fu also had his scar healed and forgot the pain, so he went to gamble again, and even gambled even bigger.

The result is obvious, nothing is lost.

Xu Fu was afraid of being beaten, so he ran away secretly without even calling him a word of hello to his family.

It was not until the debtor came to Xu Zheng that Xu Fu had owed a lot of money outside again.

That time, Xu Zheng almost didn't come up in one breath.

Later, when the family discussed, the second son and the youngest daughter did not ask Xu Zheng to help Xu Fu pay back the money. Xu Fu suffered on his own and deserved it even if he died.

Xu Zheng thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't harden his heart.

Even if Xu Zheng is a master of cooking, he cannot get so much money in a short time. Xu Zheng has borrowed it everywhere but is still a lot short of it.

Xu Zheng, who was desperate, met the boss of Fangxinglou at that time. He gave Xu Zheng a contract. As long as he signed it, he could help Xu Zheng pay back the debt.

Then what kind of contract is there? It's almost the same as a contract for selling your body.

Xu Zheng was unwilling to sign this contract, and no chef was willing to sign it. However, other restaurants would not give Xu Zheng tens of thousands of yuan as soon as they signed the contract. In desperation, Xu Zheng had no choice but to sign the contract with his nose.

For this contract, Xu Zheng's second son and youngest daughter completely broke up with him. Until today, they were unwilling to see Xu Zheng.

In this way, Xu Zheng was able to repay part of his debts and also sold himself to Fangxinglou for decades. Xu Fu has no news since then, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or what.

Later, Xu Zheng learned that Xu Fu also owed money in the bank and used the mortgage of the old house in Rongcheng.

In order to save his parents, Xu Zheng gave him a house and could only grit his teeth and continue to pay off his debts.

Except for the normal expenses, the monthly salary is secretly funded by two children from time to time, all the rest is used to repay the debt.

Until last year, when the contract expired, Xu Zhengyi resigned without hesitation and left Fangxinglou.

When he left, Xu Zheng had no deposits and the debts in the bank had not been paid off completely.

The main reason is that the salary paid by Fangxinglou is too low, and after removing various expenses, there is no amount left at all.

…………

After listening to the story, Jiang Yang felt very complicated. He couldn't say anything. He had not experienced what Xu Zheng had experienced and was not qualified to say anything.

"Now you know." Xu Zheng said.

"Yes." Jiang Yang nodded.

"I have a heartless request. I want to advance part of my salary and pay back all the money from the bank. I really don't want to live such a debt-owed life, and I'm not at ease every day." Xu Zheng said, his tone very slight.

Jiang Yang looked at Xu Zheng with a complicated face. This old man with a hot temper showed unprecedented weakness at this moment.

"I'll ask my girlfriend, I believe I will give you a satisfactory answer." Jiang Yang said.

He wanted to agree in one breath, but he restrained it. After all, the restaurant did not belong to Jiangyang, and Jiangyang could not make any decision for Meng Wanqiu.

Xu Zheng smiled and said firmly: "Well, I should discuss it. I can guarantee you that within a year, the money will definitely be earned back."

Jiang Yang opened his mouth and said nothing.

Finally, Jiang Yang went out and called Meng Wanqiu.

Xu Zheng's eyes were a little distant.

Lin Yong said that his salary of tens of thousands per month is not enough, but it is not that it is not enough to pay off the debt, but that Lin Yong knew that Xu Zheng had another idea.

Over the years, he has owed too much to two children, so he wants to make some compensation while he is still able to work.

The so-called compensation is to save some money and leave it to them in the end.

Xu Zheng can't work for too long, and apart from paying off debts, he can save too little money.

So Lin Yongcai said that tens of thousands a month is not enough.
