The Hope You Gave Me: 46-borrowing money

The money that Min Hui was able to pull out was 400,000 yuan.

She doesn't have many friends in the first place. Among them, there are only two people who have a good income and are so well connected that they can borrow money: Zhou Ruji and Cao Mu. Cao Mu's own money was not enough, and he needed to borrow it from relatives, so Min Hui had to go to Zhou Ruji.

The two made an appointment to meet at the Shangdao Coffee next to the hospital. Min Hui's face was thin, so she couldn't speak directly, so she asked Zizhu's condition first.

"Not very good." Zhou Ruji sighed, "It has been completely transferred. I didn't dare to tell her, but she is very obedient. She is very cooperative in what she says and does."

He looks tired, dark and thin, with two distinct dark circles under his eyes. Min Hui understands the surgeon's expression, "not very good" means "it's going to die soon".

"Are you busy by yourself? I've been a little more relaxed at work recently. I'll take care of you in the evening?"

"No need. She's a beauty-loving person, and now she's out of shape and out of shape. I don't want you to see her, and the dance troupe won't see her even when they come."

"What about her parents, did you tell them?"

"I know, they came from Xinjiang." Zhou Ruji said, "Now it's mainly her parents who are taking care of her. The old couple are in good health. They are both soldiers. I didn't have a child with her, otherwise, the old man still has a thought, and it won't disappear as soon as the person leaves."

Zhou Ruji performs hundreds of surgeries a year, and usually jokes to Min Hui that most of her patients will die within a year, and only a few will recover and be discharged from the hospital. A person who sees life and death is more open to death. It was the first time that Min Hui heard a cry in his words.

"How about you," Zhou Ruji asked, "how about He Xin Qi?"

"It's not that much, just like that."

"I think he's very interested in Quanquan."

"He can accept everything, but...he can't accept me just yet."

"Take your time, you are all healthy and can spend a lifetime in love," he said. "Or, a lifetime in trouble."

There is something desolate in his smile.

Min Hui had no choice but to smile.

"By the way, you said you have something to do with me?"

"It's nothing...it's nothing, I just want to thank you," Min Hui thought about it, but couldn't open her mouth, "Thank you for taking care of me all these days in the hospital."

"He's my son, he should be." Zhou Ruji looked at her with a little more scrutiny in his eyes, "Tell me, what else is there?"

"No more..."

"Why are you hesitating with me? You look so full of worries."

Min Hui had no choice but to say, "Ru Ji, I originally wanted to borrow money from you."

She repeated Cao Mu's plan: "I didn't expect that Zizhu's disease is so serious now that she needs money for treatment. I should think of other ways. It's really not a big deal to quit."

"How big of a gap do you have now?"

Min Hui was silent for a while and said, "Two million."

"Our hospital's medical insurance is good, and most of Zizhu's medical expenses can be reimbursed. Besides, at the time of the divorce, you didn't want anything, it was considered a clean-up," Zhou Ruji calculated in her heart and said, "I can lend you a million."

Min Hui was surprised. He didn't expect him to lend so much, so she hurriedly said, "You have to discuss this with Zizhu."

"No, I will only tell her some happy things now. For her illness, I prepared some money. I thought that if it was really impossible, I would take her to the United States to see the hospital over there. Is there any way? I didn't expect her condition to deteriorate so quickly, she is very weak now, and she can't travel far. The money will not be used..."

"How come? The last time I saw her, she looked pretty good. Ru Ji, are you too pessimistic?"

"I am in the oncology department, and I have seen too many patients like this. I know what the situation and stage are. She probably has two or three months left, at most."

***

Zhou Ruji's words count, and one million will be credited the next day. At this time, Min Hui was taking Su Quan and Cao Mu on the train to Beijing.

Before getting on the bus, the five-person team held another meeting to report on the progress of the work and personal contributions. Except for Min Hui and He Haixiang, the funds of the other three people have been implemented. Min Hui said that she still has a shortfall of one million, but she is trying to find a way. He Haixiang's tone was more depressed, saying that his wife did not agree to mortgage the property, and he was still "working hard" to persuade him.

"What? Zhou Ruji borrowed you a million?" Cao Mu said in surprise on the train, "I didn't expect you to ask him to borrow it."

"He is my ex-husband, and his family is relatively good. I will naturally think of him first." Min Hui said, "What's so strange about this?"

"I thought 2.4 million would not be a problem for you." Cao Mu said.

"My sister!" Min Hui exclaimed, "I've only worked for a few years with so much money, so it's impossible to save it."

"Why don't you ask Xin Qi to borrow it?" Cao Mu lowered his voice, "I heard that Su Quan is his biological son?"

Min Hui stared at her: "How do you know?"

"What Zhou Ruji said."

"I won't borrow money from Xin Qi." Min Hui shook her head vigorously, "I'm not familiar with him."

"Isn't familiar with him? Are you ready to have children? No wonder they peeled shrimp for you." Cao Mu's gossip heart began to get restless again, "Hey, how did you meet?"

"I don't want to say it." Min Hui bit her lip, "Anyway, I won't ask him to borrow money."

"When I go to Beijing this time, I want to meet a few investors, including Xin Qi." Cao Mu said, "Why don't you go with me. Maybe for your sake, he will give you Let's put in a lot of money."

Min Hui was stunned: "You... made an appointment with Xin Qi?"

"Yes. Bluebird Group -- we call it BBG -- is a pretty good investment company, with strong capital, high credibility, and interest in AI. Dongcheng Technology's A round, BBG invested ten billion."

“Don’t Dongcheng Technology make high-end medical equipment? Now it also makes AI?”

"Do it. Everyone is doing it. Can it be done? They call it a 'medical informatization solution', which is actually AI. How much business has Dongcheng Technology grabbed from Yuanlai in the past two years, otherwise Yuanlai's stock It won't fall like this."

Min Hui couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart. It turned out that it was Xin Qi's company that took away her job.

"Sister Cao, Xin Qi already has Dongcheng Technology, and Dongcheng Technology also makes AI, so will he invest in our company again?"

"For AI, Bai'an is stronger than Dongcheng. If I were him, I would definitely buy it."

"Will there be a lot of the same projects and duplicate departments?"

"Layoff. Go to the rough and save the essence." Cao Mu patted her arm, "Min Hui, you'd better go with me. With you by your side, even if you don't speak, you will give him an invisible face. pressure..."

"I'm not going." Min Hui waved her hand firmly, "I don't have a good relationship with him, maybe you mention me, but things can't be discussed."

"Hey, why is this?"

"Anyway, he's not very talkative."

"Okay, I understand." Cao Mu smiled, "I also generally cast a net and focus on fishing. We have already negotiated two private placements, each with a capital contribution of 40 million. It's almost the same as finding another one. BBG is just an option."

"Yes." Min Hui replied blankly, "Sister Cao, as soon as you go on a business trip, Xiao Di and Xiao Ning will all be handed over to Brother Yin Xu. Can he be busy?"

"I don't take care of my children even if I don't go on business. He has always been in charge. Aren't we going to start a business recently? My family, Yin Xu, is very supportive. The housework is fully covered, so I don't get involved at all. With the funds, the family can provide 2 million yuan, and there is still 400,000 yuan left. Let him make money. He ran back and cried with his parents and cried, and cried and cried and came back with 500,000 yuan." Cao Mu said with a smile, "In the beginning, Yin Yin Xu must marry me, but his mother firmly disagrees. Knowing that we took her marriage certificate behind our backs, I was so angry that I almost hanged myself. I didn’t come on the wedding day, the two children were born, I didn’t come, and I didn’t speak to me until now. Yin Xu also quarreled with his parents a few times because of this. It must be hard for him to go back and get money.”

Every time Yin Xu is mentioned, Cao Mu's demeanor is always complacent and sweet, which is enviable. Obviously, Yin Xu still did not confess the affair. Mo An is in dire straits now, and Min Hui doesn't want to make a point at this time.

Looking at Cao Mu's eyes with a line of laughter, Min Hui was a little confused.

***

The train arrives in Beijing at ten in the morning. After Min Hui reported to the conference preparation team, she sent Xin Qi a text message, asking what time in the evening if she had time, she could send Su Quan there. She wanted her son to stay with Xin Qi for a few days, so that she could concentrate on the meeting, and secondly, to reunite the father and son.

Xin Qi immediately replied: "The meeting is in progress, and it will end soon. Why don't you come to the company to find me and have lunch together?" At the same time, he sent her an address.

Bluebird Group Asia Pacific is on the eighth floor of a grand building on Financial Street.

Min Hui led Su Quan out of the elevator, and smelled a fragrant fragrance of flowers. There was an indoor garden in the middle of the hall, planted with wisteria, anthurium, Chinese rose, rose, Clivia and other flowers. The spit calyx is colorful, and the surrounding is green. If you look closely, you can recognize the tiger tail orchid, the monstera, the dripping Guanyin, and occasionally a few tall cacti with cool purple flowers.

Turn to the left along the overhead light, and an elegant office area appears. A beautiful woman in a suit and skirt comes over with a smile: "Hello."

"Hello." Min Hui felt inexplicably nervous, "I'm looking for... Xin Qi."

"Your last name? Have an appointment with him?"

"The last name is Min. I just contacted him and he asked me to come directly."

"Oh, Miss Min Hui?" The woman said softly, her voice soft as if a feather was tickling her ear, "Ethan specifically ordered. His meeting isn't over yet, but soon, let you Wait a moment in his office. Please come with me. Bytheway, this is Li Xin."

She saw Su Quan hiding behind Min Hui's legs, squatted down and said, "Hello, little brother! My name is Li Xin, it's a pleasure to meet you." After saying that, she grabbed Su Quan's little hand and shook it. .

Su Quan giggled, embarrassed to speak.

"He's so cute." Li Xin smiled.

She leads the mother and son into a spacious office and sits them down on the sofa.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee, tea or juice?" Li Xin asked graciously.

"Thank you. No, I'm not thirsty." Min Hui said.

"Sister, I want to drink orange juice." Su Quan said.

"Okay, take a seat, my sister will bring it to you." Li Xin responded.

The office is very large, with light gray walls and a black desk at the south end. Followed by a set of white sofas, white rugs.

On the side of the desk, there is a wall full of plants that looks like a green tapestry from a distance. Min Hui walked over and touched it with her hands. There were green dills, spider plants, welcome springs, and pocket coconuts—the densely packed, covering each other, brought a boom of business to the entire space.

Min Hui thought, is this the legendary "breathing office"?

As an engineering girl, she naturally began to think and raised many questions: How to water a "plant wall" like this? How to maintain it? How to prevent seepage? How to support? How to keep out the tide? How to prevent insects?

Just like that, when I looked back, Su Quan was gone.

"All?" Min Hui called out, but no one answered, she hurried out of the office and looked around along the corridor. Not far away, Su Quan was walking towards the depths of the office area curiously. On either side are offices next to each other, and people working inside can be seen through the glass walls. She didn't dare to call out loud, so she had to quickly follow.

Seeing that she was about to catch up, Su Quan suddenly turned to the right, and Min Hui had to follow her. Unexpectedly, she met a group of men in suits and leather shoes walking out of the conference room. Everyone saw a little boy jokingly running forward, and they all stopped curiously to give way to him.

Min Hui was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. She wanted to rush over to hold Su Quan, but she saw him happily hugging one of the men's thighs and shouting, "Dad! Daddy!"

The man was whispering to a gray-haired man in his fifties by the door.

About Xin Qi's "inexplicable" having a son, Min Hui felt that he would not easily publicize it in his own company. After all, he's not married yet.

Xin Qi saw Su Quan and hugged him in his arms. He kissed his son with a "boom blah blah blah", and smiled happily: "Dad is here! Do you want Daddy?"

"Think! I miss Dad!"

"Boom boom boom boom."

The gray-haired man smiled and said, "Ethan, when did you get married? Why don't I know?"

Xin Qi blinked and said, "I'm not married, but I suddenly found out that I have a son. Look, doesn't he look like him?"

"It's so similar."

Everyone's eyes swept across the faces of Xin Qi and Su Quan, and soon came to the same conclusion. Although I was curious in my heart, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, and I dared not ask more, so I had to gradually disperse.

"This is—" The gray-haired man pointed at Min Hui, who was approaching.

"This is Miss Min Hui, the R&D director of Bai'an Hi-Tech." Xin Qi said lightly.

"She is my mother!" Su Quan corrected.

"That's right." Xin Qi had to introduce to Min Hui, "This is Mr. Chen Yuan, the chief financial officer of BBG."

"It's a pleasure meeting." Min Hui said.

"It's a pleasure to meet." Chen Yuan said.

At this moment, a woman came out of the conference room with a stack of documents, looked at Min Hui, was stunned, and immediately recognized her: "Min Hui?"

Min Hui's face collapsed, and there was a green air on her forehead. She stared at her coldly without answering.

Xin Qi looked at the two women in front of him with interest: "Do you know each other?"

"She is my colleague who used to watch the tide." The woman has a pair of beautiful and vigilant phoenix eyes, and the eyebrows above are like two willow leaves blown by the wind, and they will turn into willow leaves if you exert more force Knife. Her lips are thin and she speaks quickly, "We're not in the same department."

"Yes." Xin Qi nodded.

"Min Hui," the woman extended her hand politely, "Long time no see, how are you?"

Min Hui ignored him at all, and said to Xin Qi indifferently: "Su Quan is handed over to you, I'll go first."

After speaking, he turned around and left, but was pulled by Xin Qi: "What's the hurry, let's go after dinner."
