The superiority in others' eyes did not make Lu Shanmin feel much changed. Lu Shanmin was sitting in the office with a miserable look on his face. Zuoqiu's biography book was spread out on his desk. On the title page are Zuoqiu's calligraphy in small regular script, "Establish a heart for the world and a destiny for the people, carry on the sage's unique knowledge, and create peace for all ages." This line of soul-stirring words did not make him feel the slightest bit. Because Hai Donglai had already called twice, although he didn't say it clearly, he mentioned the repayment by insinuation, and even went to the Rose Bar in person today. But he knew better than anyone that he wouldn't be able to pay back the money anytime soon. Not to mention that Hu Weiyong and Luo Xing will not be able to pay the security fee until the end of the month. Even if they call now, it is still far away. The Moonlight Bar is still closed for rectification, so there is no such payment at all now. With 160,000 yuan to support more than 30 people, how much money do I have left?
Although I am not a person who loves money, since arriving in Donghai, from the first day to now, there seems to be no time when I am not short of money. I wanted to find an excuse not to see Haidong Lai, but thinking about it, I would have to face it sooner or later, and escaping was not an option.
In the office, Hai Donglai sat on the sofa with a smile, "Brother, I'm still studying at work."
Lu Shanmin grinned and said, "Haha, why haven't I seen Sister Ruan?" Lu Shanmin deliberately changed the topic.
"Hey, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and she went back to her hometown during the winter vacation."
"Oh, when will she come?"
"Of course she will come when school starts."
"Oh, I was busy a few days ago and didn't go to see her off."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it's enough for me to take care of her."
Lu Shanmin held his forehead and couldn't find anything to say. He looked out the window and said, "The weather is nice today."
Haidong Lai had a bitter look on his face and said, "Brother, it's so late at night, how could the weather be so good?"
Lu Shanmin scratched his head and pointed to the biography on the table, "This book is very good. Do you want me to lend it to you?"
Hai Donglai gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, "Uncle, let's talk about business, okay?"
Lu Shanmin clapped his head with both hands, unable to hide. , also gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "I have no money."
"Ah" Hai Donglai looked aggrieved, "Brother, what you said is not true. You are now responsible for the security work of three bars. I also heard that you have dividends from this bar. You can’t default on your debt.”
Lu Shanmin sighed, "I also heard that you are the eldest son of a large group company. You have several villas under your name, and you drive luxury cars worth tens of millions. You lack these two things." One hundred thousand?"
Hai Donglai nodded with tears in his eyes, "I'm really short of it. To tell you the truth, on the surface I look very beautiful, but in fact I'm poor. My sister They only give me 50,000 yuan a month for living expenses. How can I support a person with such a small amount of money?"
Lu Shanmin pressed the book with both hands and almost threw it at him. Fifty thousand a month still couldn’t support him.Personally, I don’t know how many people in Donghai have to starve to death. If I didn’t understand Haidong Lai’s character, I would really think that he was deliberately showing off his wealth and looking down on himself.
After all, he owed money and had short hands. Lu Shanmin suppressed the urge to throw the book and forced a smile on his face.
"Can I write you an IOU and wait for a few months?"
Hai Donglai shook his head reluctantly, "I want money."
Lu Shanmin sighed helplessly, "Hey, why are you so stubborn? You won't be able to starve to death without these 200,000 yuan. It's not like I won't pay it back. I really don't have the money."
Hai Donglai looked desperate, "Hey, now I deeply understand how hard it is to find someone to pay back the money."
Lu Shanmin smiled sheepishly, "You also owe others money."
Hai Donglai nodded, "I borrowed the money to advance you the two hundred thousand medical expenses." Yes, I originally planned to borrow a little more to buy a smaller house for Sister Ruan." He clenched his fists and said, "It's all Chen Ran's fault. I just lent him 1.8 million. I spread the word everywhere that I won't repay the borrowed money. Now people in the group company are like avoiding the god of plague when they see me. I haven't yet If you open your mouth, those bastards will be the first to say they have no money."
Lu Shanmin frowned and asked, "Won't your sister repay the money for you?"
Hai Donglai shook his head, "My sister has already said that people in the group People can lend me money, but she is not responsible for whoever borrows the money must pay it back.”
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Well, no wonder, you don't pay back every time you borrow money. With such a bad credit, of course they won't lend to you again."
Haidong Lai looked at Lu Shanmin angrily, "You still have the nerve to accuse me, but you are not the same as not paying back the money you owe."
Lu Shanmin frowned, "I'm different from you. I wrote you an IOU, but you didn't want it."
"You, you, I haven't just written an IOU, they just don't want to accept it."
As he spoke, he sighed, "I was thinking of buying a suite for Sister Ruan and giving her a surprise. What should I do now?"
Lu Shanmin was confused. Rich people think differently. They would give him a house as a surprise.
"If you want to give Sister Ruan a surprise, there are actually many ways. There is no need to just buy a house."
“What else can I do? People in my circle of friends always buy villas, luxury cars, or cruise ships to surprise their girlfriends. I am so embarrassed that I can’t even afford an ordinary elevator room as a gift. , how will I see people in the future?”
Lu Shanmin grabbed the book in his hand and said, "Shut up, believe it or not, I will kill you with a book."
Hai Donglai looked at Lu Shanmin blankly, "What did I say wrong?"
Lu Shanmin said angrily, "I have an IOU, but I don't want any money. How can I do it?" .
Hai Donglai looked like he was crying and held out his thumb, "Brother, I really admire you. You are more shameless than me. I didn't even dare to do this to Chen Ran when he asked me to pay him back." explain".
Lu Shanmin waved his hand, "I'll pay you back in half a year, Gungungun, I'll get angry when I see you."
After driving away Haidong Lai, Lu Shanmin couldn't help but sigh, "It's true that the Zhumen's bones are frozen to death due to the smell of wine and meat."
After walking around the bar, I went to the blue-chip bar Tang Fei. With Zhou Tong and Tang Fei guarding two bars respectively, he felt relieved.
It was still early to return to the rental house. This was the first time Lu Shanmin had returned home before twelve o'clock in the morning since he went to work. After missing a month's homework, Lu Shanmin wanted to make up for it as soon as possible, so he opened his math textbook and continued to study on his own.
Zhang Li was very satisfied with Lu Shanmin's return to normal, and even made a cup of coffee for him.
"Shanmin, can I have a word with you?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Of course."
Zhang Li bit her lip and asked, "What is your relationship with that girl named Zeng Yaqian?"
Lu Shanmin thought for a while, then said "Friends" and paused. Then he said "good friends".
Zhang Li nodded, "I shouldn't talk about this kind of thing, but I still can't help but want to remind you that although today's era is all about free love, there is often a big gap in family conditions. She will not be happy in the end, not to mention she looks unruly and domineering, and she looks like she was raised in a pampered way, so I don’t think she is very suitable for you."
Lu Shanmin smiled sheepishly, "She and I are not the kind of relationship you think."
Zhang Li rolled her eyes, "Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig running? I'm not stupid. The way you two look at each other is different. You are simple in nature and serious. Love is the most important thing, and I'm afraid that you will be the one who gets hurt in the end." Then he continued, "When you start a family and start a career, find a girl who is gentle, gentle, hard-working, and can treat you wholeheartedly and take care of you. This is the most suitable girl for you."
Lu Shanmin nodded with slightly red cheeks, "Sister Li, I understand."
Zhang Li nodded, "It's good to know. I'll go to bed first, and don't stay up too late."
"Hmm".
Some time ago, I didn’t go home until four or five in the morning every day and got up at seven or eight in the morning. Even though I had been exercising well since I was a child, and I did Tai Chi to relieve fatigue, I still felt clearly in my body during that time. Discomfort.
The situation is different now. Lu Shanmin decided to rearrange his schedule, going to bed at midnight and getting up at six in the morning. This is more conducive to physical adjustment and learning.
"Ding ding, ding, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, hoo." Lu Shanmin was in a daze when a rapid ringtone rang on his cell phone. Lu Shanmin picked up the phone with his eyes closed.
He said vaguely, "Who is it?"
An angry curse came from the other end of the phone, "You brat, where are you?"
Lu Shanmin was sleeping soundly and said impatiently, "Of course you were in bed in the middle of the night. Who are you?"
"Who are you, get over here quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Shanmin woke up from his daze. Wasn't the voice just now the voice of Mou Dongyun? He quickly got up, got dressed, and trotted towards the Financial College.
The winter night in the East China Sea is very humid and bitingly cold. Mou Dongyun stood shivering in the cold wind, cursing constantly.
Lu Shanmin ran to the playground in one breath and saw Mou Dongyun wrapped in a coat. His face was full of apologies and confusion. After being discharged from the hospital, he considered the winter vacation and the weather had already entered the ninth digit, so he did not want to disturb him. Mou Dongyun. Unexpectedly, Mou Dongyun would run to the Financial High School alone without even saying hello.
Mou Dongyun's face turned purple due to the cold. Fortunately, he practiced martial arts all year round, if ordinary people would have been unable to bear it.
"Teacher Mou, why did you come here without even making a call?"
Mou Dongyun kicked Lu Shanmin hard in the butt, "Didn't I call you? It was around ten o'clock in the evening. I called you three or four times but you didn't answer. I sent you a message." I sent a text message saying that I will resume practicing Sanda this evening, and you replied with a "hmm".
Lu Shanmin groaned and took out his mobile phone. Sure enough, there were three missed calls on it. Then he remembered that he might have been patrolling the bar at night and it was too noisy. I encountered it and sent it out.
I touched my head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Mou. I thought it was already winter vacation and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I didn't expect you to contact me."
The superiority in the eyes of others did not make Lu Shanmin feel much changed. Lu Shanmin was sitting in the office with a miserable look on his face. Zuoqiu's biography book was spread out on his desk. On the title page are Zuoqiu's calligraphy in small regular script, "Establish a heart for the world and a destiny for the people, carry on the sage's unique knowledge, and create peace for all ages."

"Oh, I was busy the past few days and didn't go to see her off."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, it's enough for me to take care of her."
Lu Shanmin held his forehead, really looking for her. With nothing to say, he looked out the window and said, "The weather is good today."
Haidong Lai said with a bitter look on his face, "Brother, it's so late at night, why is the weather so good?" .
Lu Shanmin scratched his head and pointed to the biographies on the table, "This book is very good. Do you want me to lend it to you?"
Haidong came to bite it. Gritting his teeth, he took a deep breath, "Brother, let's talk about business, shall we?"
Lu Shanmin clapped his hands on his head. He couldn't hide, so he gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "I have no money. ".
"Ah" Hai Donglai looked aggrieved, "Brother, what you said is not genuine. You are now responsible for the security of three bars, and I heard that you own this bar. You can’t default on the dividends.”
Lu Shanmin sighed, “I also heard that you are the eldest son of a large group company. You have several villas under your name, and you drive cars that cost thousands. A million-dollar luxury car, are you short of the two hundred thousand?"
Haidonglai nodded in tears, "I'm really short of it. To tell you the truth, on the surface I look very nice. In fact, I am a poor person. My sister only gives me 50,000 yuan a month for living expenses. How can I support a person with such a small amount of money?”
Lu Shanmin pressed the book with both hands and almost gave me He spent 50,000 yuan a month, but he still couldn't feed one person, so many people in Donghai would starve to death. If he didn't understand the kind of person Haidong Lai was, he would really think that he was deliberately showing off his wealth and looking down on himself. < /p>
After all, he owes money and has short hands. Lu Shanmin suppressed the urge to throw the book away and forced a smile on his face.
“I’ll write you an IOU, please be patient. Can you do it for a month?"
Hai Donglai shook his head reluctantly, "I want money."
Lu Shanmin sighed helplessly, "Hey, what are you doing? You're just so stupid. You won't be able to starve to death without these 200,000 yuan. It's not like I won't pay it back, I really don't have the money."
Haidong Lai said with a desperate expression, "Hey, I Only now do I realize how hard it is to find someone to pay back money."
Lu Shanmin smiled sheepishly, "You also owe others money."
Haidong Lai nodded, "I borrowed the two hundred thousand yuan to advance your medical expenses. I originally planned to borrow a little more to buy a smaller house for Sister Ruan."

Hai Donglai shook his head, "My sister has already said that people in the group It's okay for people to lend me money, but she won't be responsible for whoever borrows the money has to pay it back."
Lu Shanmin nodded, "Well, it's hard toWeird, you never pay back every time you borrow money. Your credit is so bad, of course they won’t lend to you again."
Haidong Lai looked at Lu Shanmin angrily, "You still have the nerve to accuse me, you It's not the same, I won't pay back the money I owe."

"You, you, I didn't write the IOU, they just didn't want to accept it."
He sighed, "I was thinking of buying a house for Sister Ruan as a surprise, what should I do now? "Do it."
Lu Shanmin was tongue-tied. Rich people think differently. A surprise is just a house.
"You want to surprise Sister Ruan, but actually you have There are many ways, there is no need to just buy a house."
"What else can I do? People in my circle of friends always buy villas, luxury cars, or cruise ships to surprise their girlfriends. I am already embarrassed. I can’t even afford an ordinary elevator room, so how can I meet people in the future?”

Lu Shanmin waved his hand, "I'll pay you back in half a year. I'll get angry when I see you."
After driving away Haidonglai, Lu Shanmin I couldn't help but sigh, "The wine and meat in the Zhumen are really freezing to death."
After walking around in the bar, I went to Tang Fei's side of the blue chip bar. There were Zhou Tong and Tang Fei. Guarding two bars respectively, he was still relieved.
It was still early to return to the rental house. This was the first time since Lu Shanmin went to work that he had returned home before twelve o'clock in the morning. Lu Shanmin wanted to make up for his homework as soon as possible, so he opened his math textbook and continued to study on his own.
Zhang Li was very satisfied with Lu Shanmin's return to normal, and even made a cup of coffee for him.
" Mountain people, can I chat with you?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Of course."
Zhang Li bit her lip and asked, "You and that person named Zeng Yaqian What is the relationship between the girls?"
Lu Shanmin thought for a moment, then said "friend relationship" and then said "good friends" after a pause.
Zhang Li nodded, "This I shouldn't talk about this kind of thing, but I still can't help but want to remind you that although today's era is all about free love, people with too big a gap in family conditions will often not be happy in the end.

Then he continued, "When you start a family and start a career, find a girl who is gentle, gentle, hard-working, and can treat you wholeheartedly and take care of you.
