Chapter Fifty-Five: It's Not About Money

"A while ago, I felt like I was possessed, and all I could think about was winning money. I thought that if I win money, I can pay off my debts, buy good cosmetics, and give money to my parents so that they don't have to work so hard. In fact, I also won.

time, but I won money but I was not first

Instead of paying off the debt, I continued to gamble, thinking about winning more every time, until I lost everything. After losing, I felt very guilty and regretful, and vowed in my heart that I would never gamble again. However, when I borrowed the money

Finally, I couldn’t bear to eat, so I continued to gamble with it.”

"The money I owe is getting more and more, and I lie more and more frequently. I am really painful and blame myself. I want to change, I want to go back to the past, but I continue to gamble because I think that I can only win money.

Only then can I go back to the past. Then I sink deeper and deeper, until in the end, everyone

He no longer believed in me and refused to lend me money, even a dollar. It felt like being abandoned by the whole world, but I knew clearly that it was all my fault. I had no money to eat, no money to pay off my debts, and no friends.

, living in your own fantasies all the time!”

"I can't let others know that I have to pretend to smile when I go out or go to work!"

"I'm struggling all the time inside, but I can't get out of it. I feel guilty, lonely, desperate and helpless, but I still fantasize about getting rich overnight, and I even have hallucinations from time to time."

"This is the state I was in a while ago! It's like the devil took away my soul!"

"Boss, thank you, thank you for pulling me out of the quagmire, thank you for helping me pay back the money."

With tears in her eyes, Chen Xiaoting said with a smile: "Now, I still eat instant noodles and steamed buns every day, but after eating, I feel at ease and sleep peacefully. I can feel my heartbeat, and I know that I am still alive and I am still alone.

.After repaying your money in two or three years, I will be able to be who I was before. Not only will I be alive, but I will be living with hope."

"Boss, I'm sorry, I lied to you! I'm sorry!"

"You are still young, just don't do it again in the future." Li Zhongnan lit a cigarette and took a puff and said quietly. After many experiences, these words could not move him. However, he could feel the little girl

Sincere, I was slightly comforted.

Chen Xiaoting nodded and said: "Only after experiencing it can you know how to cherish it better. Even if you guarantee that you will win money in the future, I will not touch it again!"

Hearing this, Li Zhongnan smiled and said: "You are right, you will cherish it more only after you have experienced it. If you can bravely face yourself today, peel off your heart and say these words, I believe you have indeed come out. And

, you will become stronger in the future!"

"Thank you boss!"

Chen Xiaoting wiped her tears and asked with a smile, "Boss, have you eaten? I'll buy it for you."

Li Zhongnan took out a hundred yuan, handed it to her and said: "Make it yourself, I'm tired of the gutter oil outside. I'll watch the store, go buy some vegetables and come back. Buy more meat, you're still growing."

"Um!"

Chen Xiaoting took the money and jumped out.

After a while, she came back from shopping and Li Zhongnan wanted to cook. She pushed him again and said, "Boss, I'll do it. I'll take a rest."

Li Zhongnan nodded and let her go.

After cooking the food, serving it on the table, and washing the dishes, Chen Xiaoting asked him to come and eat with her.

Li Zhongnan sat down.

Chen Xiaoting immediately helped him serve a bowl of rice, and then gave him some chopsticks to pick up some vegetables. She smiled at him and said, "Boss, you eat. This is the braised pork I made specially for you."

Li Zhongnan nodded and took a bite. It tasted good.

While eating, he asked casually: "Xiaoting, how did you get addicted to gambling?"

Logically speaking, it is difficult for a high school student and a girl to be exposed to online gambling. Moreover, even if she accidentally enters those websites while surfing the Internet, she should close them as soon as possible.

Chen Xiaoting smiled awkwardly and explained: "I had a fight with my mother and she cut off my financial resources. Then I borrowed money from a friend when I had no money. He gave me a website and taught me how to play. I didn't win at first.

Little money, later~~~"

Li Zhongnan waved his hand and said, "Don't interact with him in the future!"

There was no need for her to continue explaining the obvious things.

"Um!"

Chen Xiaoting bit her lip and nodded.

Eating.

Li Zhongnan saw that the little girl was more lively and couldn't help but make a few jokes with her.

Seeing that his attitude had improved, Chen Xiaoting hesitated for a moment and asked with courage: "Boss, can you delete those? I really won't lie to you in the future. I promise, I will listen to you."

Li Zhongnan shook his head and said, "We'll talk about this later!"

Chen Xiaoting felt a little aggrieved and asked: "Boss, do you still not believe me?"

Li Zhongnan didn't answer her words, he lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Chen Xiaoting lowered her head again, biting with red eyes: "Boss, what do you want to do before I delete it? I beg you, please delete it!"

Li Zhongnan said casually: "Let's do it this way. I'll think about it when your sales in a day reach 100."

Chen Xiaoting asked in a low voice: "Can I give you a promotion fee?"

She didn't mention it, but when she mentioned it, Li Zhongnan's face darkened again, and he said directly: "No. You can figure it out yourself."

Then, he got up and walked out.

However, at the end of the day, he turned around and said again: "I won't live here anymore. You give up the house outside and then move in. The air conditioning and water heater are fully equipped here, which is better than outside. What's more?

, there are induction cookers, rice cookers, refrigerators, etc. You can buy and cook whatever you want to eat. You can save money and keep up with your nutrition.”

"oh!"

Chen Xiaoting responded, her heart feeling complicated again.

Walk out of the store.

Li Zhongnan thought for a moment and made a phone call.

At present, the top priority is to build a scrap station.

The first step is to buy land.

However, he was not familiar with the village chief of Bangtang Village. If he wanted to buy land there, he had to be introduced by a middleman.

Half an hour later, a young man in his early twenties wearing a police uniform came to him. The other person asked directly: "Brother Nan, what are you looking for me for?"

Li Zhongnan smiled, handed him a cigarette, and said, "Wen Zhi, I have something to ask you for help."

The person who came was Chen Wenzhi, a junior student of Li Zhongnan.

The two used to play basketball together, so they were familiar with each other. After graduating from high school, Chen Wenzhi served as a volunteer for two years. After returning, he used connections to join a police station in the county and became a co-op. In fact, he was an unorganized urban management officer.

, the police uniform he wore was also obtained by himself. However, he is the grandnephew of the old village chief of Bangtang Village.

Therefore, it is perfect to find him as a recommender.

Li Zhongnan told the matter directly.

Chen Wenzhi frowned and said, "Brother Nan, I can't help you with this matter. It's really difficult."

Li Zhongnan said: "Money is not a problem!"

Chen Wenzhi said: "This is not a question of money!"
