Chapter 23 Borrowing money
Hanging up my sister's phone, I hurried downstairs and began to think about how to get the 1,500 yuan. Now my mom is not at home, and I don't have it myself, so I have to find someone to borrow it to get the money together in a short time. The first person I thought of was, of course, my best friend Sun Dong.
Although Sun Dong is not a big money, he works in a bank after all, and his income is quite good. And he is my best friend, I opened my mouth to borrow 1,2000 from him for emergency relief, I believe there should be no problem. Of course, I also know that kid is a loser, and he has a little money in his bag, and he spends it all on the big business of picking up girls. But in any case, he is the richest of all the friends I know.
So, as soon as I left my sister's building, I immediately started dialing Sun Dong's mobile phone. However, what made me depressed was that Sun Dong's mobile phone couldn't get through, and the answer on the phone was that the user had turned it off. Depend on! This kid, isn't there a bold girl who has already been soaked in, and he has already opened a room in a hotel at this time, right?
With my understanding of Sun Dong, whenever he hooks up with a beautiful woman and takes the beauty to open a room to discuss the "relationship between love and surname", he will always turn off his mobile phone, so as not to disturb him, especially Ren's girlfriend. In addition, he called before and said that he couldn't come and drink with me because of something, which made me even more sure that this kid was definitely not doing anything good now.
It's just that I don't care what he does, but if I turn off my phone, I won't be able to find him, right? If I can't find him, who should I borrow this 1,500 yuan?
For the first time in my heart, I hated this kid so much, and secretly scolded him a few words, and I had to make another plan and consider other borrowers.
I'm a person who doesn't like to borrow money from others unless I have to. In these years, it is always so difficult to borrow money from others, not only to be looked down upon by others, to owe favors to others, but also to have a bad reputation. But now the situation is urgent, and my sister's father-in-law is critically ill, just waiting for money to save his life. Even if I don't want to beg for help, I have to sell my old face.
The second thing that comes to mind is my former colleague Wei Hai. But as soon as I thought of him, I immediately shook my head, and immediately rejected it in my heart. Although Wei Hai's financial situation is slightly better than mine, he just received an unemployment benefit today. But he no longer has a job, and maybe he won't be able to find a suitable job for a long time to come. Without a source of income, this unemployment benefit is a guarantee to sustain him. Even if Wei Hai is willing to lend me for emergency relief, I can't pay him back in a short time. I don't want to do anything that makes others feel embarrassed.
As for the other colleagues who lost their jobs today and received severance pay, I don't have a good relationship with them, and I don't want to trouble them, so I am not in my consideration.
So, who else can I borrow money from?
Naturally, I remembered another good colleague in the company, Shi Shanshan. Shi Shanshan, as far as I know, in addition to usually eating snacks and buying clothes that are not famous brands, she is basically a frugal girl. It may not be difficult to come up with 12,000 yuan at once. The important thing is that she and I will be colleagues in the future, and she will not worry that she will never find me again after borrowing my money. And after she was retained by the new company, she didn't have to worry about her financial problems. If she can lend me money, I believe it won't have much impact on her life.
Of course, I really wouldn't want to borrow money from a woman unless it was a last resort. But now it's an emergency, everything is about the safety of the patient, and I'm a big man's face problem, so let's ignore it for now.
As soon as I thought of it, I hurriedly found Shi Shanshan's number in the phone book of my mobile phone and immediately pressed the dial button. The phone rang twice, and it was quickly connected, and Shi Shanshan's familiar laughter was immediately heard: "Huh? It's so rare, Dai Yong, this seems to be the first time you've called me during off-duty hours? Find me...... Can I help you? ”
I had no choice but to laugh and immediately said the purpose of my call: "Shanshan, I'm so sorry, I'm looking for you...... I want to borrow some money from you. ”
"Borrow...... Money? Shi Shanshan on the phone seemed to be very surprised, and there was an indescribable sense of disappointment in her tone.
I hurriedly explained: "Well, a relative of mine suddenly fell ill and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the doctor recommended that he be hospitalized immediately. But the advance payment for hospitalization requires 3,000 yuan. You know, my family is not very rich, and everyone has scraped together for half a day, and they have only scraped together less than half of the money. We had no choice but to find someone to borrow money for the emergency. However, these days, it's really not easy to find someone to borrow money, and I can't help it, so I thought of you. I don't know...... Do you have any extra money there, can you ...... Lend me the emergency first? ”
Shi Shanshan's tone suddenly became a little unhappy, and she said angrily: "Oh? You can't help but think of me? If there was a way, wouldn't you have made this call? ”
I was stunned and didn't understand what Shi Shanshan meant by this. But I didn't think she wanted to lend me money. I don't like to be strong, and since she doesn't want to, I don't plan to waste time, so I said, "That's ...... Forget it, I'll think of another way. Sorry to bother you, goodbye! ”
I was just about to put down my phone and hang up the call, but Shi Shanshan's urgent call came from the hole: "Hey! Feed! Wait a minute! You, did I say I won't lend you money? ”
I was stunned again, hurriedly put the phone back to my ear, and said, "What? Will you borrow it? ”
"Really, you Dai Yong opened your mouth to me, how dare I not borrow it? Say, how much is needed? When to do it? ”
My heart was overjoyed! Originally, I was really a little disappointed, thinking that Shi Shanshan was so stingy. In the past, I helped her a lot in the company. Usually, everyone's relationship has always been good. If she really told me that I didn't have any money, it would be fine, but if she didn't even ask, and just refused, then I would think that this friend was not worth my friendship.
But fortunately, Shi Shanshan is obviously not that kind of person. I immediately rejoiced, "Really? That's great, I need at least fifteen hundred now, do you have one? ”
"Fifteen thousand...... I don't have one right now, but I can go to the bank's ATM and withdraw it. What hospital are you in? I'll take the money and send it to you right away. ”
I hesitated for a moment, and I wanted to say that it would be better for me to rush over and get the money myself. But after thinking about it, I remember that Shi Shanshan's home seems to be in the east of the city, far away from me. I rode my bike back and forth, and I don't know how long it would take to get the money to the hospital. The patient's condition is critical, and the sooner he is admitted to the hospital, the more hope he has for recovery.
So, I was not polite and said, "Thank you so much, my relatives were sent to Renai Hospital in the west of the city, and I will wait for you at the gate of Renai Hospital." It's better to hurry, the patient is waiting to pay for admission. ”
"Got it, I'll call it. I'll see you at the hospital in a moment. ”
"Well, goodbye!"
