Chapter 23 Borrowing Money

When I hung up my sister's phone, I hurried downstairs and began to think about how to get this thousand five hundred yuan. Now that my mother is not at home, I don't have it myself, so I have to borrow someone to get the money in a short time. The first person I think of is of course my best friend Sun Dong.

Although Sun Dong is not a big money, he works in a bank and his income is pretty good. Moreover, he is my best friend, so I asked him to borrow 1,200,000 yuan from him to rescue him first. I believe there should be no problem. Of course, I also know that the kid is a prodigal boy, with some money in his bag, and he spent all his money on the cause of picking up girls. But no matter what, he is the richest among the friends I know.

So, as soon as I left my sister's building, I immediately started to call Sun Dong's mobile phone. However, what made me depressed was that Sun Dong's mobile phone could not be connected, and the answer on the phone was that the user had turned off. Damn! This kid, hasn't he already picked up a bold girl, but he has opened a room in a hotel now?

Based on my understanding of Sun Dong, whenever he hooks up with a beauty and takes the beauty to open a room to discuss the "relationship between love and sex", he always turns off his phone to avoid anyone, especially his girlfriend in office, who will disturb him. In addition, he called him before and said that he couldn't come to drink with me if he had something to do, which made me more sure that this kid is definitely not doing a good job now.

But I don’t care what he does, but if I turn off my phone, can’t I find him? If I can’t find him, then who will I borrow this thousand five hundred yuan?

For the first time in my heart, I hated this boy's fickleness so much, and cursed him secretly, and had to make other plans and consider other candidates for borrowing money.

I am a person who is not absolutely necessary, usually doesn't like to borrow money from others. Nowadays, it's always so difficult to borrow money from others. Not only do I have to be looked down upon by others and owe favors to others, but I also have a bad reputation. But now the situation is urgent, my sister's father-in-law is critically ill and is waiting to help her. Even if I don't want to ask for help in a humble manner, I have to sell my old face.

The second thing I remembered was Wei Hai, my former colleague in the company. But when I thought of him, I immediately shook my head and immediately rejected it. Although Wei Hai's economic situation was slightly better than mine, he happened to receive an unemployment bonus today. But he no longer had a job, and perhaps he would not find a suitable job for a long time. Without a source of income, this unemployment bonus was the guarantee for maintaining his life. Even if Wei Hai was willing to lend me aid, I could not repay it to him in a short period of time. I was unwilling to do things that made others feel embarrassed.

As for the other colleagues who lost their jobs today and received severance payments, I don’t have a good relationship with them and I don’t want to bother them, so I am not considering it.

So, who else can I ask them to borrow money?

Naturally, I remembered another good colleague in the company. Shi Shanshan. According to my understanding, in addition to eating some snacks and buying clothes that are not famous brands, I am basically a very saving girl. It may not be difficult to give out 1,200 yuan at once. What’s important is that she and I will be colleagues in the future. She will not worry about not being able to find me again after borrowing me. Moreover, after being retained by the new company, she does not need to worry about her financial problems. If she can lend me money, I believe it will not have much impact on her life.

Of course, if it were not forbidden, I really wouldn't want to borrow money from a woman. But now it's urgent to help me, and I, a big man, have a priority. I should ignore the face of my big man.

I thought of it and did it. I hurriedly found Shi Shanshan's number in the phone book on my mobile phone and immediately pressed the dial button. The phone rang twice and it was soon connected. Shi Shanshan's familiar princess laughter came: "Huh? It's really rare, Dai Yong, this seems to be the first time you called me at the end of get off work? Is there anything wrong with me?"

I had no choice but to laugh and immediately said the intention of calling me: "Shanshan, I'm so embarrassed. I'm looking for you... to borrow some money from you."

"Borrow... money?" Shi Shanshan seemed very surprised on the phone, and there was an indescribable sense of disappointment in her tone.

I hurriedly explained: "In this way, a relative in my family suddenly fell ill and sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctor suggested that the hospital be hospitalized immediately. But the advance payment for the hospitalization costs 3,000 yuan. You know, my family is not very rich. After everyone raised up for a long time, they only raised less than half of the money. There was no way, so we had to ask someone to borrow money to help the emergency. However, these days, it is really not easy to borrow money from someone, and I have no choice, so I thought of you. I don't know... do you have extra money there? Can you... lend me a rescue first?"

Shi Shanshan's tone suddenly became a little unhappy and said angrily: "Oh? Did you think of me if you can't do anything? If there is a way, wouldn't you make this call?"

I was stunned and didn't understand what Shi Shanshan meant. But I didn't feel very happy in her tone. I thought she didn't want to lend me money. I don't like to force others. Since she doesn't want to, I didn't plan to waste my time, so I said, "Then... forget it, I'll think of another way. Sorry, I'll bother you, goodbye!"

Just as I was about to put down my phone and hang up the call, Shi Shanshan's anxious shout came from the hole: "Hey! Hey! Wait a minute! You guy, did I say you won't lend you money?"

I was stunned again, and quickly put my phone back in my ears and said, "What? Are you willing to borrow it?"

"Really, Dai Yong spoke to me, how dare I not borrow it? Tell me, how much do I need? When do I need it?"

I was suddenly delighted! I was really disappointed at first, thinking that Shi Shanshan was so stingy. In the past, I helped her a lot in the company. We usually have a good relationship. If she really told me that there was no money, it would be fine, but if she didn't even ask and just refused, I would think this friend was not worthy of my hand.

Fortunately, Shi Shanshan is obviously not that kind of person. I immediately said happily: "Really? That's great. I need at least 1,500 yuan now. Do you have it?"

"One thousand five...I don't have one now, but I can go to the ATM in the bank to get it. Which hospital are you in? I withdraw the money and I will send it to you right away."

I hesitated for a moment, and originally wanted to say that it would not be so troublesome to her, so I would have to rush over and get the money myself. But then I remember that Shi Shanshan's home seemed to be in the east of the city, far away from me. I rode a bicycle and ran back and forth like this, and I don't know how long it would take to send the money to the hospital. The patient's condition was critical, and I was admitted to the hospital earlier for treatment, so I had more hope of recovery, and time could not tolerate me being pretentious.

So, I was not polite and said, "That's great thank you. My relative was sent to Renai Hospital in the west of the city. I will wait for you at the door of Renai Hospital. It's better to be quicker, and the patient is waiting to pay the money to be admitted to the hospital."

"I know, I will call you. Then, see you in the hospital later."

"Yeah, goodbye!"
