Chapter 22: 22. When you’re down and out, even the ghosts will go around you
Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION
When she woke up early, the hospital nurse called again, urging her to pay her mother’s medical fees.
This time, she gave her a deadline of one week.
She definitely could not count on Qiao Mingzhang, nor did she dare to count on him.
After thinking about it, all these years’private money and pocket money added together, although it was not a small sum, but in front of her mother’s huge medical fees, it still seemed to be a little hard-pressed.
Holding the thin phone, Qiao man tasted the feeling of being powerless for the first time.
Biting her lip, she lowered her head and opened her address book. She searched for her number and called all her friends who had played better in the past. The answers she gave were, without exception, very sorry and unable to help.
When she opened her mouth to borrow money, she had already thought that she might not be able to borrow a single cent.
Who didn’t know that she, Qiao Man, had become the eldest daughter of the Qiao family in name but not in reality? The entire Qiao Corporation was practically in the hands of the second branch, and it was very likely that she would not be able to earn a single cent in the future.
Several hundred thousand, how could she return it!
If that really happened, when you were down and out, even a ghost would go around you.
She took a deep breath and was about to call the number that she had not touched for a long time when her phone vibrated. The name displayed was Tong Qin.
In University, Tong Qin and Xiao Meng were the closest to each other. Compared to the three of them, Tong Qin and Xiao Meng’s relationship was better than hers.
Ever since the incident between Xiao Meng and Jiang Yingdong, she had deliberately avoided Tong Qin.
If it were not for the fact that she really had no other choice, she would never have called Tong Qin.
Qiao man hesitated for a moment and swiped the answer button. “Man man, I was in a meeting just now and my phone was muted. Did you hear me? Is there anything you need from me? ”
“No, I accidentally dialed the wrong number. ”
The courage that she had when she borrowed the money just now had completely disappeared. It was already extremely difficult for her to open her mouth.
Tong Qin was silent for a moment before she slowly said, “man man, did you look for a job after you returned to China? I know that you’re not doing too well right now… I have a job here. I don’t know if you’re interested. ”
This call lasted for more than ten minutes. When she hung up, Qiao man held her forehead and felt a slight headache.
The job that Tong Qin was talking about was the sales manager of a nightclub. She had a wide range of ways to get money, and it was fast.
To her, who desperately needed money, it was very tempting.
However, the pride in her bones made her somewhat hesitant.
Comparatively speaking, she hoped to rely on her own ability to find a high-paying job. Although she was born into a prestigious family, her academic results were obvious to everyone. First place was a label of her school days.
However, reality did not seem to give her a chance to be picky and unreasonable.
Qiao man put her phone aside. Just as she turned around, she saw the man standing in front of the liquor cabinet. His back was facing her direction. Obviously, he was choosing liquor.
When did he walk in How long had he been standing there, and how much did he hear?
“sorry, there’s no door in the basement. ” He looked at her figure from the glass of the liquor cabinet, but there was no apology in his tone.
A never-before-seen sense of embarrassment ran through her heart. Qiao man picked up the handbag on the SOFA and walked out quickly.
This time, she had a deep understanding of the feeling of living under someone else’s roof.
…
Three days later, Qiao man appeared at Lin Zhengchen’s birthday party in a pink one-piece dress.
Huge Crystal Chandeliers shone from the ceiling. In the hall, the guests gathered in groups of three to five and chatted with each other.
There was a buffet around them and a round bar in the corner. Qiao man sat in front of the bar with a glass of wine in her hand, silently looking in the direction of the dance floor.
Lin Nancheng was holding Lin Yan as they walked towards Ji Yunshen. It was not hard to tell from their expressions that the three of them were in a good mood.
