Chapter 58 Truth in adversity
Qi Yue returned to the dormitory with a depressed face. At this time, several other buddies in the dormitory were preparing to soak their feet to sleep.
"Brother Qi, are you all right?" Niu Du saw that Qi Yue was not in a good mood, so he asked with concern. His bed was the closest to the door, so he was the first to find Qi Yue coming back.
"Bear by the way, how is Aunt Chen?" Zhong Ma immediately asked Niu Du. The clock horse has dried its feet and is about to pour foot water.
"That's it! Brother Qi, you left this morning because of Aunt Chen's affairs! Tell me what happened to Aunt Chen? Fu Lei poked his head, and a pair of small eyes turned bonyly.
Qi Yue sat close to Niu Du's bed without saying a word. After a long time, he looked up slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern! However, what I'm facing is not a trivial matter. Even if I tell you, you can't help..."
"Brother Qi, how can you say that!" Tang Zhu threw his head separately and said, "There is a saying in the DOTA world called 'no brother, no DOTA'! Since we are brothers, you should tell everyone what difficulties you have! No matter how high the attack is, as long as everyone works together, there is no arrow tower that can't be pushed down!"
"What Tang Zhu said!" Niu Du cut his nose with his fingers that had just cut his feet and said, "If our brothers can't solve it, we can still discuss it with the monitor and ask him to mobilize the whole class to help together!" There are many people and powerful, and there is no obstacle that can't be overcome!"
Qi Yue thought about it and felt that what Niu Du said also made some sense. So he said, "Aunt Chen is in a serious condition and urgently needs money for surgery. However, I can't collect so much money for the time being..."
"It doesn't matter! It's just a matter of money! Let's get together and help Brother Qi tide over this difficulty first!" Niu Du patted Qi Yue on the shoulder and said. Then he lifted the cotton wool at the head of the bed and took out a pile of waste newspapers from the inside!
Niu Du stuffed the pile of waste newspapers into Qi Yue's arms and said, "Brother Qi, take it! This is the money I saved from the monthly living expenses my mother gave me! I was going to buy a set of fitness materials with it. Since Brother Qi continues now, take it first!"
Qi Yue took the waste newspaper from Niu Du's hand and opened it, but he saw a pile of banknotes in it. Roughly estimated, there should be more than a hundred! Qi Yue looked at the burly man from the countryside in front of him, and his heart suddenly raised a sense of gratitude. You should know that Niu Du is extremely frugal in his daily life, and this money is not a small amount for him.
"Thank you, Niu Du! I will find a way to return the money to you as soon as possible!" Qi Yue said.
"No hurry, no hurry! I can also go to the nearby mall to do a part-time job on weekends. I don't have to worry about living expenses for the time being!" Niu Du said this and turned to the others and said, "Nah, everyone take the initiative! Now Brother Qi needs everyone's help, and everyone is more or less interesting..."
"Uh! Brother Qi, I'm really... I'm really sorry..." As soon as he heard that it was borrowing money, Fu Lei, who was originally in high spirits, immediately kept a low profile and said, "Brother Qi, you know that I won't help you. It's really don't have money... However, if you need me to pay Lei's contribution, just open your mouth and I'll keep it. Call on..."
"It's really stingy!" Tang Zhu pointed to Fu Lei and shook his head and strongly condemned him. Then Tang Zhu threw his wallet to Qi Yue, who was sitting in the opposite bunk, and said, "Qi Yue, I still have a few hundred yuan in my wallet. Take it to the emergency first!"
After Fu Lei was criticized by Tang Zhu, he couldn't lose face. So he pointed to the bell horse who had just climbed into bed and said, "There is still a big clock in our dormitory!" With him, we don't have to deduct our living expenses..."
"Wh! Fu Lei, if you don't have money, just take it out and rest. Don't say a few words and no one will treat you as a mute!" Zhong Ma looked at the ceiling above his head and said, "I will definitely help Brother Qi!" However, I heard that Aunt Chen's handling fee is not a small amount! Although my monthly living expenses are a little more than yours, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket for Brother Qi! In my opinion, Brother Qi, you'd better discuss it with Chu Chu! She is the real rich..."
"No!" Qi Yue shook his head and said very firmly, "How can a seven-foot man always rely on a weak woman?"
After listening to Qi Yue's words, Zhong Ma couldn't help asking, "Brother Qi, between you and Chu Chu, won't... make any emotions?"
"That's not it!" Qi Yue thought for a moment and said, "Although she was angry with Yang Liu just now, we should not be emotional..."
"That's enough!" Zhong Ma patted his left arm with his right hand and said, "You know, you two have been like that yesterday. How can you distinguish between each other?" You need help now, and she can also help you. Why not?
"Absolutely not! I don't believe that Qi Yue can't think of any other way but her!" Qi Yue still has a grim face.
"Well, just think I didn't say anything!" Zhong Ma shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Qi, can I lend you thousands of yuan at most?"
"It's far from enough!" Qi Yue said, "The money I collected by myself, plus your money, is only a few thousand yuan in total! There is still a lot less than the handling fee of 120,000 yuan!"
"What? 120,000!" Zhong Ma stared at the boss and said, "Brother Qi, where can you collect so much money for a while?"
Zhong Ma's words just came to Qi Yue's heart! When did Qi Yue worry about this little money when he was still Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu? However, with the passage of time, Qi Yue has neither the dignity of the past nor the power of the past. He is just the most vulnerable poor student now!
People are poor and short-sighted! In this era of laughing at the poor without laughing at prostitutes, this is a real fact!
Thinking of the glory of his previous life and the embarrassment of reality, Qi Yue couldn't help sighing and said, "I used to be a hero of a generation, but I didn't expect that now I am distressed by this small amount of money..."
"Indeed! For those who are really rich, 120,000 is really nothing! You know, in places like 'free in the world', the daily turnover is as high as hundreds of thousands!" Zhong Ma naturally ignored the deep meaning of Qi Yue's words just now. Instead, he thought that Qi Yue sighed that he was in a predicament, so he comforted Qi Yue.
Zhong Ma inadvertently said this sentence, but suddenly reminded Qi Yue. Qi Yue suddenly stood up and asked Zhongma with his eyes glowing, "Zhong Ma, you just said that the turnover of 'free world' is as high as hundreds of thousands a day. Is this true?"
"Of course it's true!" Zhongma stretched out a hand and explained to Qi Yue one by one, "You think, this nightclub will have 20 or 30 floors, with dance halls, chess and card rooms, KTV, restaurants, hotels, etc. In short, it is all-inclusive to eat, drink, wash and sleep, and they are all high consumption. Coupled with some underground business, the turnover of hundreds of thousands a day is definitely only a conservative estimate..."
"Okay, that's good!" Listening to Zhong Ma's analysis, Qi Yue couldn't help smiling. As he thought about something, he said to himself, "Since this nightclub is so rich, I believe they will definitely get 120,000 yuan!" In this case, I will go to the 'free world' nightclub again tonight and borrow money from their boss!"
