The Gold is Yours, You Are Mine: Chapter 31 Business
She hadn't finished a few mouthfuls of food when the nurse came and said that the patient had woken up and could go in for a short visit.
Jian Changnian put the lunch box on the chair, wiped her mouth, stood up, and ran over with the nurse.
After changing the isolation gown, she walked gently to her grandmother, knelt down beside her bed, and held her rough and chapped hands due to years of farm work.
"Grandma..." Jian Changnian whispered.
Grandma Jane was lying on the bed covered with tubes, unable to speak, only her eyeballs moved and shed tears.
Jian Changnian gently wiped away her tears for grandma, and dipped a cotton swab in water to moisten her dry and chapped lips.
Looking at her silver hair and her old face covered with age spots, Jian Changnian trembled and burst into tears.
"Grandma, you will definitely get better... Hold on, I will explain to you slowly when you get better, and I will admit it if you want to beat me or scold me, and I will listen to you , please, hold on..."
Tears fell drop by drop on the place where the two hands were clasped. Grandma seemed to feel it and moved her fingers slightly.
Jian Changnian wept with joy: "Grandma, grandma, can you hear me? The doctor said that the patient's willpower is also very important. You must, must, must persevere. I am the only one in this world. loved ones."
"Visiting time is up." The nurse came in and urged.
Jian Changnian sniffed and stood up.
"Grandma, then I'll go first and come to see you another day."
When I came out, I ran into the doctor who rescued my grandmother that day, and he called him aside.
"How's your money going?"
Jian Changnian shook her head with a gloomy expression.
The doctor was also a little anxious: "Oh! Hurry up! The cerebral hemorrhage can't be delayed for a second! I missed the best time for the operation. Even if the operation is successful, the prognosis will be very poor!"
Jian Changnian's tears that had just stopped were about to fall again, and she bowed deeply.
"I see, thank you, doctor, before the operation, please do your best to save my grandma's life no matter what method you use."
The doctor lifted the man up and let out a long sigh.
"Healing the wounded and saving lives is the bounden duty of doctors. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up."
After the people left, Jian Changnian ate up the cold box lunch, thinking about how to make money while eating, including borrowing from the villagers, Zhou Mu's parents and the market to sell things today The money is only 15,000 yuan, a drop in the bucket, and it is still far away.
After much deliberation, she only thought of one person's name.
Jian Changnian stood up and walked to the nurse's station.
"Sister, can I use your phone?"
The nurse didn't lift her head and wrote something: "Yes, you can call."
Jian Changnian followed the memory, pressed the number, took a deep breath, and said, "Hey, Brother Cao, it's me... I... something happened to my family and I need money urgently. I... I want to ask you... if you have any money?" What a quick way to make money..."
Cao Rui dropped out of school a long time ago and went out to join the society. She has bad habits all over her body, but fortunately, she has one advantage, that is, righteousness. Hearing her tell the ins and outs, I feel a little sorry for her, and she is Xie Shi'an's friend. She should help her. help.
He pondered for a while: "I have a job that I think is okay, but it may wrong you..."
Jian Changnian covered the receiver, and immediately said: "It's all right, no matter what the job is, as long as it can make money, I don't feel wronged."
"That's fine. Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, you come to Lifeng Building, and I will take you to play."
Early the next morning, Jian Changnian waited early at the gate of Lifeng Building. When Cao Rui arrived by car, it was still early.
He rolled down the window and looked her up and down.
"Why are you here in this suit?"
Jian Changnian stood awkwardly by the side of the road, she was still wearing her grandmother's clothes before the accident, and she hadn't changed or washed for a few days.
"I…"
Cao Rui took out the money from his wallet and said to the girl in the co-pilot, "There is a shopping mall across the street, take her to buy some clothes."
She also knew this girl, she was a receptionist of the club, she was his personal secretary.
The girl responded, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Let's go, I'll take you shopping."
Jian Changnian followed her into the shopping mall with some unease, watching the other party pick up bright clothes from the shelves from time to time and compare them to her.
"I... what are we going to do?"
The girl picked out a few crop tops and stuffed them all for her.
"It's just playing ball, just these few pieces, you go and try."
When Jian Changnian came out of the fitting room, the girl's eyes lit up: "It's not bad, try this coat and skirt again."
Jian Changnian was toyed with like a marionette for a long time, and finally decided on a baseball uniform, crop top, and white sports-style miniskirt, and even got new shoes.
Jian Changnian looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a little strange.
"Wear it, wrap up the old ones." The girl glanced at the old clothes thrown on the sofa with some distaste, and ordered the clerk to pack them all up. After paying the bill, she dragged her back to the car.
"Your hair, I'll do it for you again, my God, it hasn't been washed for a few days..."
The two were sitting in the back seat, and the girl said disgustedly while helping her to tie her hair.
Cao Rui tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and looked at his watch from time to time.
"Hurry up, people are probably coming."
After the girl tied her hair, she quickly put foundation on her face, and said while drawing her eyebrows.
"When I meet the boss later, don't make a sad face, just smile. If you hit the ball well, you will make the boss happy. Of course, you will have the money."
When Jian Changnian heard about the money, she nodded, even if she was asked to go into a mountain of swords and seas of fire, she could jump down without saying a word.
Watching an extended Mercedes-Benz drive into the basement, Cao Rui turned his head and whistled: "Here comes, let's go."
The numbers on the elevator gradually changed, but Jian Changnian was still a little nervous, silently swallowing his saliva.
Cao Rui glanced at her, knowing that she was afraid, and comforted her.
"Don't be afraid, I didn't ask you to go out for a drink or something. I'm a big man. I don't rely on girls to drink to discuss business. It's just that the boss I met today likes to play badminton, especially with professional players. It's just technology, hehe..."
At this point, Jian Changnian understood why Cao Rui said that she might feel a little wronged.
The elevator bell rang, and the top floor had arrived.
Jian Changnian took a deep breath and followed Cao Rui out of the elevator.
Between professional beliefs and taking money to save her grandma, she chose to **** her beliefs.
***
On the second day of training, Jian Changnian still didn't come.
in the office.
Coach Liang: "The physical fitness test will be held tomorrow, and our entry list has not been submitted yet, and the organizing committee is urging us."
Listening to the slogan of running outside, Yan Xinyuan put down his pen and rubbed his face: "Let me think about it again."
Looking at the blank form in front of him, Coach Liang also sighed deeply: "Oh, how come this time..."
After several laps, Xie Shi'an sat on the edge of the playground to rest with a towel around his neck. Qiao Yuchu came over and handed her a bottle of purified water.
"Chang Nian still didn't come to practice today."
Xie Shi'an paused for a moment when he raised his hand to drink water, his expression was calm, and he didn't say anything.
Qiao Yuchu sat down beside her, feeling a little troubled.
"I just passed by the door of Coach Yan's office and heard what they said about the entry list. At first, with Chang Nian's ability, it would be no problem to get a starter. The team competition is suspended again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Shi'an got up and walked outside the playground.
"Why are you going?" Qiao Yuchu took two steps after him.
"Hungry, eat."
During the time when she was eating in the cafeteria, Qiao Yuchu was still a little worried about Jian Changnian's situation, and her mobile phone was confiscated again, so she had to go to the public phone booth in the corridor to make calls.
Her first call was to the hospital.
The hospital said that Jane Chang was not in the hospital at all, and disappeared in the middle of the night last night.
Qiao Yuchu asked back, "She's a minor, where can she go?"
"Then we don't know. We only look at patients, not their family members." After the nurse finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a bang.
Qiao Yuchu was still a little worried, so she called Zhou Mu for the second time.
Zhou Mu was on the bus back to school, and told her roughly about Jian Changnian going back to the countryside to borrow money yesterday.
"She sold everything that could be sold at home, and borrowed from everyone who could borrow it. It was still a lot worse, because my father and mother had a big fight over this, and I don't know how to help her. gone."
Zhou Mu's voice also sounded a little frustrated.
"Then do you know where she is now?" Qiao Yuchu asked.
Zhou Mu shook his head: "She hasn't contacted me since she went back yesterday."
"If she contacts you again, you can ask her to call Coach Yan back. We are all worried about her, and the national competition is about to start. It's hard for her to get here. Whether she wants to participate or not has to be discussed with her. just to confirm."
Zhou Mu nodded: "Okay, I see."
People who are not in the hospital are mostly out to borrow money. The key is that all the relationships that can be borrowed have been borrowed. Who can she go to?
She thought about it, and made the third call to Cheng Zhen.
Cheng really was lying at home playing games, holding his phone between his shoulders and head.
"No, how could she find me."
"That's right." Qiao Yu thought for a while, and was about to hang up.
Cheng Zhen sat up from the sofa: "Have you found anyone yet?"
"That's right, the national competition is coming up soon. I'm really worried that she won't be able to think about it if something happens at this juncture."
Cheng Zhen took a look at his father who was working in the study, and lowered his voice, "The key is one hundred thousand, which is too much. Now my father is very strict with me. If I'm not training or staying at home, pocket money has long been denied. me."
"You deserve it." Qiao Yuchu taunted him mercilessly again.
"Okay, stop talking, hang up."
After she hung up the phone, she started talking to herself again.
"Where can a person go?"
As soon as the voice fell, a hand reached out and picked up the phone.
Xie Shi'an pressed a series of numbers with no expression on his face, but his tone was a bit cold: "Hey, Cao Rui, it's me, where is he?"
Cao Rui was negotiating business with someone. Seeing a call coming in, he wanted to cut it off, but it kept ringing, and he seemed to be desperate for his life. He had no choice but to say "sorry" to the person and go out to answer the phone.
"Hey, who did I think it was? Why don't you call with your own mobile phone?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I'm training, I ask you, where are you now?"
Cao Rui glanced at Jian Changnian who was playing with the big boss with some guilt: "You, why are you asking this?"
"Is Jian Changnian with you?"
"I..." Without waiting for Cao Rui to say anything, Xie Shi'an uttered two words firmly.
"address."
After getting the exact address, Xie Shi'an turned around and left.
Qiao Yuchu caught up: "Hey, why are you going?"
Xie Shi'an stopped and looked at her.
"Didn't you say you were going to confirm with someone?"
Qiao Yuchu followed her involuntarily.
"But there is still training in the afternoon..."
Xie Shi'an bypassed the guard and walked to the remote outer wall on the other side. It was short, and she put two bricks on it, and turned over with one hand.
"I think we should be very happy to bring someone back to Coach Yan."
Qiao Yu put on a blank face at the beginning, and ran away with the people.
"I hope so."
***
At the end of the game, a young man in a suit and leather shoes dragged her into the stairwell and read some money to Jane.
"Here, you hit the ball well. Lose a few more **** in the next round. Try to lose as much as possible so that the boss can't see that you are giving way to him."
After staying here for a while, Jian Changnian understood that the potbellied middle-aged man who played with her was the so-called big boss in their mouths, and the other two, Cao Rui, were a matchmaker and gave him money. The young man's boss wanted the big boss to invest in his company, so he tried every means to make him happy. As for what benefits Cao Rui got from it, it's unknown.
Jian Changnian smiled wryly in her heart, but she still accepted the money. She remembered what the lady at the front desk told her not to make a sad face, so she smiled at people and tried to make herself look cute and cute.
"Okay, thank you boss, I see."
As soon as the voice fell, a voice came from upstairs.
"Xiao Chen, has Xiao Jian returned from the bathroom? Mr. Qian still wants to play another game."
The young man called "Xiao Chen" pushed him away.
"Go ahead and behave yourself."
Lifeng Building is located in the most luxurious business district in Jiangcheng City. The top floor area is also very spacious. Not only is there a swimming pool, but also a lawn. On the other side of the lawn is a badminton court. There are tables, chairs and parasols on the side of the court.
Although the big boss is also a badminton enthusiast, he is getting old and his physical strength is not as good as that of young people. He has to stop to take a breath after playing two balls, and ask the beautiful secretary next to him to massage his shoulders and cut a piece of fruit to eat.
"It's not bad, little Jane, she's pretty, and she's good at the ball. She's still a professional player, she's a formidable young man!"
Several people complimented him and laughed.
"I think Qian Zong is a young swordsman. I was dazzled by that smash. Even if the world champion comes, he can still make a few tricks!"
Mr. Qian laughed loudly: "Look at Xiao Wu's mouth, he's flattering."
"How could this be flattery? If Mr. Qian hadn't been so busy with everything, he would have been a professional player long ago!"
Qian was always praised by others, and he began to brag about the awards he had been concocted by others in amateur competitions.
"I think back then, I was also..."
Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Cao Rui refilled a cup of tea at the right time.
"Little Jane is also our club's training partner. If you like it, let her play with you more in the future."
"Okay, okay, I'm in a good mood today, come on, let's form a doubles and play another game."
