Chapter 94: Unwilling
Seeing Zhang Shihui running towards him quickly.
Ning Weimin's body stopped the moment he opened the wooden door of the hotel.
He was surprised by Zhang Shihui's sudden change and turned around.
“What’s going on?”
As Zhang Shihui walked closer, his head gradually lowered, a little afraid to look at him.
"After much thought, I think I shouldn't hide it from you..."
Ning Weimin was stunned for a moment and then understood.
"You mean what the money is used for? Did you gamble?"
Zhang Shihui shook his head in denial at first.
"No, I love playing poker, but I don't win or lose much. It's only 80 cents."
"Soon, all the people I played with were my buddies. No one really wanted to win money. , whoever wins is treated to a drink.”
“Especially after I have a girlfriend, I also want to save money, and I play less and less...”
Then I sighed. In one breath, the truth was revealed.
“Actually, the main reason why I borrowed money from you is because my business has lost money and I want to make up for it.”
"Last month, I have been doing business outside. I originally planned to make some money, buy a color TV, a refrigerator, and a washing machine like others, and then get married decently..."
"I didn't expect it. I was too late and I suffered a huge loss..."
Ning Weimin stared at him, truly surprised this time, with an expression of complete disbelief.
"You? Are you doing business?"
Zhang Shihui smiled with helplessness and misery.
"Yeah, you didn't expect it, right? To be honest, before the National Day, I didn't even think that I would have this idea..."
"Then...how much did you lose?"
"It's about four hundred and fifty yuan in total. Not counting yours, I still owe more than three hundred yuan. In fact, the money left in my hand is enough to repay the debt. But if that's the case, it means that I have to pay off the debt. He threw in his savings, his tape recorder and the money sent back by his parents...
I have to say that Zhang Shihui has been really depressed this month.
He really wants to. Who can I talk to when I feel bitter in my stomach?
So once the conversation started, I couldn't hold it back.
Ning Weimin didn't need to ask questions one by one later, he took the initiative to "pour the beans through the bamboo tube".
One, five, ten, tell me everything you have done recently, how you did it, how you lost money, how you made money, and why you lost money again.
"...Wei Min, I'm really worried. I don't understand. I can make money just by watching other people do it. Why am I so unlucky? Do you think I can accept it? I even got it I've lost all my money..."
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I've lost so much in business, so I can only make it back through business. But you have to have capital to do business, and the more capital you have. , the faster I can turn over, but I have no other choice but to borrow it from you..."
"Brother, I have never said these words to anyone. I don't dare let anyone know the real situation, even my girlfriend. Liu Weijing still thinks I have made money."
"But I just can't lie to you. Really, your situation is definitely interesting to me. So I can't be less of a friend. If you want to take the money back now, I absolutely understand. I just ask you not to take mine Just expose the matter."
"Anyway... In short, this time, I am sorry for you!"
Zhang Shihui's apologetic tone is absolutely sincere, and Ning Weimin can feel it. .
So he had no shame or anger at being blinded, nor did he care about it.
Instead, focus on more important issues.
"Then what are you planning to do? I mean, if I am still willing to lend you money..."
Zhang Shihui didn't seem to expect it. He was stunned for a moment, and soon became excited. He said in a tone mixed with hope.
"I won't hide it from you. I heard someone said that in Huacheng, toad mirrors only cost five or six yuan a piece, and electronic watches only cost ten yuan a piece."
"What I want is to find I just took a leave of absence and went south by myself. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a toad mirror or a digital watch. Anyway, if I can get some bargains, I will be completely transformed after one trip.”
"Brother, if you are willing to give me a hand, I will never forget you. Then I..."
But this time it was different. Before he could finish his wish, Ning Weimin A rhetorical question. "Then will you pay for it again?"
This sensitive question immediately made Zhang Shihui's face turn red.
Even at night, it is quite conspicuous.
Yes, what should I do if I have to pay again?
This possibility cannot be said to be impossible, and the possibility is not small.
The journey is long, the place is unfamiliar, and there is a language barrier. Anything can happen.
Otherwise why is he being vague? How could he tell Ning Weimin the truth with so much guilt in his heart?
Zhang Shihui's throat seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
Fortunately, Ning Weimin noticed his embarrassment in time and quickly explained.
"Don't think too much. I'm not doubting your ability, nor do I mean to squeeze you."
"Actually, I just want to make one thing clear. Do you really want to do this? Business? Is making money so important to you? Why don’t you just stay at home? "
"For example, what if I don’t lend you money? Go to the south? If I lend you money, will you be discouraged or continue to try other businesses?” I thought I understood.
"Brother, I know you have good intentions. You want to persuade me to step back from the brink and live a normal life. You are afraid that I will fall into the eyes of money. But I am afraid I will have to disappoint you."
"Because I am unwilling to give in. Ah, I am not willing to live a life of scrimping and saving money, and I am not willing to let Liu Weijing endure hardships with me and envy other people's generosity. And in terms of making money, there is no industry more convenient than doing business. , faster.”
“I’m not afraid of your jokes. Although I haven’t made any money this month, business has become a new starting point and a new destination in my life. I have seen it with my own eyes. Some people are indeed making money and living a good life. "
"I admit that it is too tempting for me. This kind of life is not only material. Enjoyment can give a man more face, but it will never be possible if he only expects to work to earn a salary. "
"I really can't live like I did in the past, so even. Even if I hit the wall, I won’t give up. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and failure is the mother of success. As long as you learn from it, I believe that sooner or later I will make money like others.”
"Of course, you may not agree with what I said, and maybe you will think that I am philistine and vulgar. Then I can only say that you are still young. You have no girlfriend and no place to use money. In a few years, you will You must know the importance of money.”
When Zhang Shihui said these words, he carefully considered his words and his attitude was very sincere.
I am afraid that Ning Weimin will be unhappy, and even more afraid that Ning Weimin will misunderstand that he is ungrateful.
But as a result, he never expected that Ning Weimin would laugh because of his words.
And judging by his expression and tone of voice, he is really happy.
"Brother, I think you look like a person with good fortune. I think you will definitely get what you want. I bet that within a year, you will be rich and wealthy."
Of course this answer is This was beyond Zhang Shihui's imagination.
He was dumbfounded and suspected that what Ning Weimin said was ironic.
"Weimin, are you okay?"
But Ning Weimin's words immediately calmed his heart and even made him feel overjoyed.
"I'm serious, I don't mean anything else. If you regard money as dirty, you are a foolish and aloof person. If you turn frustration into money, you are the most practical person. As for your indomitable spirit, I feel sorry for you. You will definitely get rich."
"I am actually worried about your ideal of living a stable life without any disasters. If that is the case, poverty is your destiny. The wish of your own destiny."
"But I still have to tell the truth, you lack experience in business. Although your plan is right, it is risky and has little reward. Even if it is completed, it is not very cost-effective. If you are willing, I can explain it to you in detail, and I have a better suggestion for you.”
“Of course, it’s up to you. Anyway, I won’t take the money. I'll lend it to you when I get back. That's no problem. What do you think? You have to be willing to have a good chat. Let's make some tea and talk slowly. My throat is burning. ..."
Is Zhang Shihui still unwilling?
He nodded and agreed immediately.
"Okay, Weimin, then you can help me to advise my staff. It's just that it will delay you from getting off work..."
"Why are you so polite. Let's go back first. We are all out now. It’s been a long time. It’s Sister Liu who’s been working with you. I guess she’s already here. She stayed here all night yesterday. I missed you. I’m not happy to see you again.”
“She is. Do you want to pinch me? Hey, I can't handle it all by myself today? Let her go somewhere else for a while, so we can talk."
With that said, the two finally walked into the hotel again.
